Book excerpt: I came back to Mason Creek when my life was turned upside down, both literally and figuratively. Scared and alone, I packed my belongings and left New York where I've made a career as a writer for a national publication to stay with my parents in the town so different than the big apple they might as well be on different planets.Getting to see my friends was a big plus, but meeting someone new never crossed my mind until a ruggedly handsome man in jeans and a worn baseball cap came over to say hello. Not knowing someone in this small town is like not knowing how to breathe. The slightly older man caught my eye, just as much as I caught his. A witty and roguish personality kept me on my toes, even if falling for someone new is the last thing I need. Neither of us wants a relationship, yet we keep finding each other in this small town. Rumors fly, hearts connect, and there's more at stake than either of us are willing to share. This man has secrets everyone wants to know, but when more than he's willing to share is revealed I hope I'm strong enough to help him. I may have come back to town to save myself, but saving him might be the real reason I'm here.

Download or read book The Perfect Song written by Donna J. Bosn and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2012-01-20 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Legends are said to be those individuals who soar above the limitations of the average human experience. These special souls leave eternal footprints in the hearts of even the casual observer, and their message remains timeless. History books are full of stories about these remarkable people. While some of these dynamic leaders affect only their generation, others are birthed for the purposes of eternity. Arthur Lee Crume Sr. is such a man. Arthur is the owner, manager and longest active member of the widely acclaimed Soul Stirrers' Gospel Quartet. Historians herald this group as the greatest quartet in the history of gospel music. Arthur's musical talents catapulted and held him at the top of his field for several decades. Although he enjoyed all the attention and accolades he received, he had one serious problem. Arthur did not have a personal relationship with the God he was singing about. All the notoriety and fame stroked his already inflated ego and caused him to become even more self-absorbed. His poor choices and fleshly appetites scarred the lives of those who loved him the most, leaving broken hearts littered along life's highway. But God, who is rich in mercy, never gave up on Arthur. Arthur was born and raised in the cotton fields of Missouri. Just as Jesus taught His followers through parables-earthly stories with heavenly meanings-the cotton plant held a spiritual truth for Arthur. This bush-like plant mirrored his life. If properly nourished, both housed the necessary components to eventually produce mature fruit. Just like the cottonseed, a miracle had to take place so the darkness would be banished and the seedling could break through the hard soil and reach toward the light. After bursting through the soil, the tender plant would be exposed to the high winds and blowing sand. Mirrored by Arthur's life struggles is a picture of Israel's eventual redemption.
Download or read book McCartney Surviving the perfect song written by Martínez, Julio Eduardo and published by Mil Campanas. This book was released on with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When The Beatles broke up for good in the British spring of 1970, Paul McCartney was just 27 years old. It was too early to begin a life of celebrity in retirement. He was haunted by the shadow of the immense aesthetic and cultural transformation that he himself had helped to forge. Faced with this crossroads, McCartney deployed - rightly and wrongly - different strategies to renew himself. Like no one before, journalist, musician and researcher Julio Martínez presents this journey without avoiding the contrast of light and shades. With the contradictions inherent to any human experience, which even those four musicians who changed the world could not escape. Never before has McCartney been told with such an intimate narrative. In a register that moves between biography and essay, journalist, musician and researcher Martínez offers us the first Argentine book that deals with his figure. With a deep knowledge, without hiding his admiration but, at the same time, without the empty celebration that generated so much discarded literature. If we were condemned to a single reading to understand Paul McCartney and the beatle movement, these pages could be approached with the certainty of being part of the road to its understanding. Perhaps there is nothing more to ask of a book.

Download or read book My Perfect One written by Jonathan Kaplan and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2015 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The interpretations of 'Song of Songs' in the tannaitic midrashim, the first rabbinic scriptural commentaries, employ a form of allegory known as figural interpretation or typology in order to correlate this work to Israel's ideal national narrative represented by events such as the crossing of the sea and the giving of the Torah. This approach to interpreting 'Song of Songs' helped shape rabbinic conceptions of the character and practice of model Israel as well as of an idealised vision of their beloved, God.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Award-winning illustrator Duncan Tonatiuh brings to life debut author Gloria Amescua's lyrical biography of an indigenous Nahua woman from Mexico who taught and preserved her people's culture through modeling for famous artists She was Luz Jiménez, child of the flower-song people, the powerful Aztec, who called themselves Nahua— who lost their land but who did not disappear. As a young Nahua girl in Mexico during the early 1900s, Luz learned how to grind corn in a metate, to twist yarn with her toes, and to weave on a loom. By the fire at night, she listened to stories of her community’s joys, suffering, and survival, and wove them into her heart. But when the Mexican Revolution came to her village, Luz and her family were forced to flee and start a new life. In Mexico City, Luz became a model for painters, sculptors, and photographers such as Diego Rivera, Jean Charlot, and Tina Modotti. These artists were interested in showing the true face of Mexico and not a European version. Through her work, Luz found a way to preserve her people's culture by sharing her native language, stories, and traditions. Soon, scholars came to learn from her. This moving, beautifully illustrated biography tells the remarkable story of how model and teacher Luz Jiménez became “the soul of Mexico”—a living link between the indigenous Nahua and the rest of the world. Through her deep pride in her roots and her unshakeable spirit, the world came to recognize the beauty and strength of her people. The book includes an author’s note, timeline, glossary, and bibliography.

Download or read book Out of the Cloister Scholastic Exegesis of the Song of Songs 1100 1250 written by Suzanne LaVere and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-03-11 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Song of Songs was one of the most frequently interpreted biblical books of the Middle Ages. Most scholarly studies concentrate on monastic interpretations of the text, which tend to be contemplative in nature. In Out of the Cloister, Suzanne LaVere reveals a particularly scholastic strain of Song of Songs exegesis, in which cathedral school masters and mendicants in and around 12th and 13th-century Paris read the text as Christ exhorting the Church and clergy to lead an active life of preaching, instruction, conversion, and reform. This new interpretation of the Song of Songs both reflected and influenced an era of far-reaching Church reform and offered a program for secular clergy to combat heresy and apathy among the laity.
Download or read book This Perfect Day written by Ira Levin and published by Blackstone Publishing. This book was released on 2024-08-06 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A modern dystopian classic that stands alongside 1984 and Brave New World, Ira Levin’s This Perfect Day is a stunningly prescient work of science fiction that asks what it means to remain human in a world increasingly governed by technology and AI. “Chip” (born Li RM35M4419) lives in a future controlled by an all-powerful global supercomputer, UniComp. In this seemingly utopian society, free from war and want, every aspect of human existence is meticulously planned and calibrated for efficiency by Uni, which guides the lives of each member of the Family—the eugenically-merged human race, who share a single language and religion, yet live under constant chemical conditioning and behavioral monitoring—long unaware that their sustenance comes at the expense of all individuality and autonomy. When Chip begins to question Uni’s benevolence, he embarks on a perilous journey to reclaim his true self, and challenge Uni’s rule. Its predictions already proving unnervingly on target, This Perfect Day is a thought-provoking exploration of free will, and of who ultimately holds the reins of power. Levin’s masterful storytelling and vividly imagined world make for an epic tale that’s as unsettling as it is unforgettable.)

Book excerpt: The twentieth-anniversary edition of Marion Blumenthal Lazan’s acclaimed Holocaust memoir features new material by the author, a reading group guide, a map, and additional photographs. “The writing is direct, devastating, with no rhetoric or exploitation. The truth is in what’s said and in what is left out.”—ALA Booklist (starred review) Marion Blumenthal Lazan’s unforgettable and acclaimed memoir recalls the devastating years that shaped her childhood. Following Hitler’s rise to power, the Blumenthal family—father, mother, Marion, and her brother, Albert—were trapped in Nazi Germany. They managed eventually to get to Holland, but soon thereafter it was occupied by the Nazis. For the next six and a half years the Blumenthals were forced to live in refugee, transit, and prison camps, including Westerbork in Holland and Bergen-Belsen in Germany, before finally making it to the United States. Their story is one of horror and hardship, but it is also a story of courage, hope, and the will to survive. Four Perfect Pebbles features forty archival photographs, including several new to this edition, an epilogue, a bibliography, a map, a reading group guide, an index, and a new afterword by the author. First published in 1996, the book was an ALA Notable Book, an ALA Quick Pick for Reluctant Readers, and IRA Young Adults’ Choice, and a Notable Trade Book in the Field of Social Studies, and the recipient of many other honors. “A harrowing and often moving account.”—School Library Journal
