Download or read book Our Beloved Friend written by Gary B. Nash and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2022-10-05 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born into one of the wealthiest families in Philadelphia and raised and educated in that vital center of eighteenth-century American Quakerism, Anne Emlen Mifflin was a progressive force in early America. This detailed and engaging biography, which features Anne’s collected writings and selected correspondence, revives her legacy. Anne grew up directly across the street from the Pennsylvania statehouse, where the Continental Congress was leading the War of Independence. A Quaker minister whose busy pen, agile mind, and untiring moral energy produced an extensive corpus of writings, Anne was an ardent abolitionist and social reformer decades before the establishment of women’s anti-slavery societies. And at a time when most Americans never ventured beyond their own village, hamlet, or farm, Anne journeyed thousands of miles. She traveled to settlements of Friends on the frontier and met with Native Americans in the rough country of northwestern Pennsylvania, New York, and Canada. Our Beloved Friend provides a unique window onto the lives of Quakers during the pre-Revolutionary era, the establishment of the New Republic, and the War of 1812.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE 2018 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR FICTION SHORTLISTED FOR THE INTERNATIONAL DUBLIN LITERARY AWARD NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "A beautiful book … a world of insight into death, grief, art, and love." —Wall Street Journal "A penetrating, moving meditation on loss, comfort, memory...Nunez has a wry, withering wit." —NPR "Dry, allusive and charming…the comedy here writes itself.” The New York Times A moving story of love, friendship, grief, healing, and the magical bond between a woman and her dog. When a woman unexpectedly loses her lifelong best friend and mentor, she finds herself burdened with the unwanted dog he has left behind. Her own battle against grief is intensified by the mute suffering of the dog, a huge Great Dane traumatized by the inexplicable disappearance of its master, and by the threat of eviction: dogs are prohibited in her apartment building. While others worry that grief has made her a victim of magical thinking, the woman refuses to be separated from the dog except for brief periods of time. Isolated from the rest of the world, increasingly obsessed with the dog's care, determined to read its mind and fathom its heart, she comes dangerously close to unraveling. But while troubles abound, rich and surprising rewards lie in store for both of them. Elegiac and searching, The Friend is both a meditation on loss and a celebration of human-canine devotion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the year 2023, after a nuclear Armageddon, only a few pockets of people have survived. One of these groups of survivors, mostly rock climbers and mountaineers, subsists through the leadership of Jude, a biblical archaeologist and rock climber. Jude is given a chance to go back in time by using an invention of a surviving U.S. scientist. Jude is transported back to Palestine during the first century, where he searches for Jesus, to verify if he truly was the Messiah, or a charlatan. Dying from nuclear cancer, Jude spends most of his given time looking for Jesus, finally finding him meditating on a mountaintop. Jude, mesmerized by Ishia’s (Jesus) power becomes his first follower and best friend, Judas. His friendship and his knowledge of Ishia of Nazerat become the pivotal force in the last three years of their lives. Jude becomes the Judas, torn apart between being Ishia’s beloved friend and being his betrayer. The shocking and controversial ending is for you, the reader, to read and discover. It will tear at your very soul but it will rejuvenate and strengthen your faith in Jesus Christ. A must for every Christian to read!

Book excerpt: Hal and Melanie have a way of writing that makes you feel as though you are sitting down and having a conversation with them. What they write is solid. What they write is Biblical. What they write actually works and is doable. They don t pull punches or just try to make you feel good. They handle delicate issues with Biblical responses. Since we know that God s word never returns void, we know that this book will change lives. -Phyllis Sather, author of Purposeful Planning Hal & Melanie Young have written another fabulous and much-needed book, My Beloved and My Friend: How to Stay Married to Your Best Friend Without Changing Spouses. Brilliant book. Of course it is; I knew it would be. They are the folks...who wrote Raising Real Men. I loved that book, and I knew I d get a lot from this one too. -Debra Brinkman, Footprints in the Butter Faith should impact your behavior. This one truth, emphasized repeatedly in the Bible, prompts Jesus followers to adopt Jesus priorities and Jesus behaviors in our human relationships. In this book, Hal and Melanie seize this understanding and seek to apply it to the covenant relationship of marriage. -Dave Buller at Christian First This book was hard to put down, I have pages dog eared, I have highlighted sections that I want to return to and I ve shared several great passages with my husband. I love how Hal and Melanie Young shared their private life and the struggles that they have gone through. I felt like I was a special friend that they were confiding in and in return I was learning so much about myself. -Kimberly Huff at Natural Beach Living This book felt more like a conversation with friends than a how-to manual. This is not a rekindle your romance kind of book. It s also not a here s why you fight, now work around it kind of book. It s a straightforward story of how two sinners, saved by Grace, live out their marriage covenant while being best friends. It s the perfect kind of marriage book. -Laurie Bostwick at Our Abundant Blessings Noth-ing is held back as they use God s word to show a clear path to being a Godly cou-ple and hav-ing a mar-riage that show it as well. -Steve Blackston at Husband of a Homeschool Mom I ve read a few marriage books no, actually I haven t. I ve purchased a few books, read a few pages, got bored with them, and got rid of them. My Beloved and My Friend is different than all those other marriage books I ve come across. -Tabitha Zehner at The Homeschool Four

Download or read book Christ is My Beloved written by George E Stevens and published by Scripture Truth. This book was released on 2009-10 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of Christ in the Scriptures is heart-warming and encouraging at any time. The author's portraits of Christ in the Song of Solomon breathe life and reverence into the interpretation of a book that is so often misunderstood. For the most part, he uses Scripture to interpret Scripture - an exemplary method of Bible study. Where this is not possible, he has used the characteristics of natural life to bring about understanding. The Lord Jesus Christ is honoured on almost every page. Furthermore, he reveals the appreciation of love between the Messiah and Zion (along with that for the Church); and that Jerusalem can look forward to a bright future, after a period of severe persecution. This is a book that stirs up affection for the Son of the living God, leading the reader to worship the Father whose counsels and purposes are centred, as always, in Christ.

Download or read book Unwrapping Beloved s Gift Co Creating Soul s Song written by Isaura Barrera and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2019-04-10 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I think the best way you could describe this text is, as put it in the Introduction, ‘a meditative map.’ I know for certain that I did not grasp everything and also that I could return to it over the years and read it again and again, always finding something new, or something that had before remained unseen due to my own place in my own unique spiritual journey” (Lauren Sapala, writer, blogger, and coach). “One day, unexpected and unhoped for, the world we had thought irretrievably lost may be returned to us” (I. Zaleski 2006). It began with reading John O’Donohue’s Anam Cara. I remembered I had once known such a friend and reached out to reconnect. Love opened the door, hope kept it open, and faith gave me the courage to walk through. These words summarized my subsequent spiritual journey as I awakened to deep friendship with a human beloved as well as with Divine Beloved. This book has two purposes: to describe an inner spiritual journey inspired by deep friendship and to offer that description as a meditative map for others. Isaura Barrera identifies five way stations that trace the path carved out by the song of love, hope, and faith evoked by her renewed friendship. Each station is presented descriptively rather than prescriptively as an invitation to others on similar journeys. Reflections at each station are linked to scriptural passages, highlighting connections between deep friendship with a human beloved and deep friendship with Divine Beloved.
