Download or read book Prairie Light a little book of seasons in picture and verse written by Nina Hackman and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-09-10 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prairie Light is a book of poetry and pictures all about the lovely, changeable seasons we have here in the Mid-West. Each one is special and each has its own unique beauty. We may grumble a bit (especially about winter) but we do so look forward to each season as it arrives. Some would say we look forward to them leaving, too, but that's a different book for for a different day. Prairie Light begins in deep winter when the snow is piled high and moves through the year back to winter again. Each poem is illustrated with an original photograph that I think captures the light, the beauty, or customs we have here. Attention Readers: all the poems are short, interesting, and illustrated! No bedtime will be harmed by reading this book! Also, literary devices such as poetry patterns, descriptive language, rhyming, similes, etc. can be found in this book. It's a good read and has learning opportunities at the same time. I hope you enjoy Prairie Light.

All Sarah wants is to see her aunt safely to Santa Fe, and then she plans to return home to the Windy City.Ethan Harper, the youngest of three adult brothers, enjoys a peaceful existence helping run his family’s stage stop in Kansas, along the Santa Fe Trail. Only one cloud continues to darken his horizon—guilt over his part in the tragic death of his oldest brother’s wife.

Download or read book Glimpses of Her Father s Glory written by Timothy E. G. Bartel and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-06-12 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s Evangeline was a bestseller in nineteenth-century America, inspiring generations of readers with a heroine who overcomes colonial violence and exile in her romantic and spiritual quest across America. Long ignored by modernist scholars, Evangeline is finally getting the critical attention it deserves. Drawing on original research in Longfellow’s scholarly manuscripts, Bartel explores the theological sources and spiritual world of Evangeline, arguing that Longfellow was inspired by the church fathers to craft Evangeline into a heroine who uniquely exemplifies, in her epic quest, the ancient Christian doctrines of deification and divine light. Bartel’s Glimpses of Her Father’s Glory returns Evangeline to its rightful place as a major poem of American literature, one that takes as its theme nothing less than the ultimate purpose of human existence.
