Book excerpt: Once upon a time, Michael had a great career and a wonderful family-until his sudden death. Worse yet, when he arrived at the pearly gates, he was denied entrance. Now, given the chance to redeem himself as a Guardian Angel, Michael intervenes in the lives of people who are in peril. Winter is pounding its way through Indianapolis, and trouble for Michael follows swiftly on the howling winds. A serial killer has just taken the life of another homeless victim, and One-eyed Bob, Michael's closest friend in the homeless community, has gone missing, putting everyone on edge and uncertain of who to trust. Meanwhile, as the bad economy takes its toll, the shelter director, Pastor Steve, is forced to partner with another congregation to keep the refuge open. As tension, drama, and the threat of a killer on the loose hang like a dark cloud over the shelter, Michael soon discovers he has another problem: the demon he defeated over a year ago may be back to seek revenge. In this continuing series, a Guardian Angel on a journey of redemption must find his homeless friend before a serial killer strikes again and his demonic nemesis satisfies his grudge.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the middle of New York City lies a neighborhood where all secrets are valuable, all assets are liquid, and all deals are sealed with a blessing rather than a contract. Welcome to the diamond district. Ninety percent of all diamonds that enter America pass through these few blocks, but the inner workings of this mysterious world are known only to the people who inhabit it. In Precious Objects, twenty-six-year-old journalist Alicia Oltuski, the daughter and granddaughter of diamond dealers, seamlessly blends family narrative with literary reportage to reveal the fascinating secrets of the diamond industry and its madcap characters: an Elvis-impersonating dealer, a duo of diamond-detective brothers, and her own eccentric father. With insight and drama, Oltuski limns her family’s diamond-paved move from communist Siberia to a displaced persons camp in post–World War II Germany to New York’s diamond district, exploring the connections among Jews and the industry, the gem and its lore, and the exotic citizens of this secluded world. Entertaining and illuminating, Precious Objects offers an insider’s look at the history, business, and society behind one of the world’s most coveted natural resources, providing an unforgettable backstage pass to an extraordinary and timeless show.

Download or read book Domination And Defiance Fathers and Daughters in Shakespeare written by Diane Dreher and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shakespeare was clearly fascinated by the relationship between fathers and daughters, for this primal bond of domination and defiance structures twenty-one of his comedies, tragedies, and romances. In a conflict that is at once social and interpersonal, Shakespeare's fathers demand hierarchical obedience while their daughters affirm the new, more personal values upheld by Renaissance humanists and Puritans. In her penetrating analysis of this compelling relationship, Diane Dreher examines the underlying psychological tensions as well as the changing concepts of marriage and the family during Shakespeare's time. She points to the pain and conflict caused by sex role polarization. Shakespeare's possessive fathers tyrannize over their daughters, unwilling to relinquish their "masculine" power and control and leaving these young women with only two alternatives: paternal domination or defiance and loss of love. The logic of Shakespeare's plays repudiates traditional stereotypes, showing how women like Ophelia and Desdemona are destroyed by conforming to the passive Renaissance ideal. The book concludes with a consideration of Shakespeare's androgynous characters -- dynamic women in doublet and hose, and fathers who become sensitive, caring, and empathetic. Shakespeare's balanced characters thus reconcile the polarities within themselves and bring greater harmony to their world. Domination and Defiance is the first book on this most provocative relationship in Shakespeare. Shedding new light on the complex father-daughter bond, character, and motivation, it makes a major contribution to literary studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This inspiring book is not just another "how to book" that you will find in the psychology, finance, business or self-help aisles of your local book store, nor will it be placed solely on the philosophy or spiritual shelves. However, the compelling messages in this fascinating book can easily be found in any of these venues. The universal messages throughout this groundbreaking book are centered on the mysterious theory of the "80/20 law," which approximately 80 percent or more of today's population isn't familiar with.

You can now step away from the "trivial many" and become a part of the "vital few" who have it all. You will find the answers you seek in Dream It First: The 80/20 Law to Manifestation of Dreams and Goals So dreamers, let's get started! About the Author: Jacqueline R. Robertson is a motivational and business speaker who writes from Highland, California.

Book excerpt: Has out-of-control spending, growing debt, or the never-ending need to manage your finances left you wearied and stressed? If so, you're not alone. Americans consistently list money as their number one source of anxiety. In your worry, you may be tempted to find a "money law" to follow. Unfortunately, this often leads to a fractured heart that removes Jesus from your financial life and leaves you to carry the burden. The message of Whole Heart Finances is that by bringing your whole heart to Jesus while making important money decisions, your finances become an opportunity for deep, responsive worship as you consider the abundant generosity of Jesus in your life. But what does "whole heart finances" look like practically? The principles presented in this book will help you answer the following questions and more: How can tracking my expenses help grow my relationship with Jesus? What is the best way to budget for irregular expenses? How can I use the tools of saving and investing to maximize generous giving? Other Christian books about money start with the wisdom of the world and justify it with biblical sources, but Whole Heart Finances provides a model for how to put together the elements of spending, saving, investing, and giving with Jesus Christ as the foundation. It will transform your relationship with money from wearied worry into daily joy by growing your money skills alongside a rich view of who you are in Christ.
Download or read book Carpentaria written by Alexis Wright and published by New Directions Publishing. This book was released on 2024-02-06 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alexis Wright’s award-winning classic Carpentaria: “a swelling, heaving tsunami of a novel—stinging, sinuous, salted with outrageous humor, sweetened by spiraling lyricism” (The Australian) Carpentaria is an epic of the Gulf country of northwestern Queensland, Australia. Its portrait of life in the precariously settled coastal town of Desperance centers on the powerful Phantom family, leader of the Westend Pricklebush people, and its battles with old Joseph Midnight’s renegade Eastend mob, on the one hand, and with the white officials of Uptown and the nearby rapacious, ecologically disastrous Gurfurrit mine on the other. Wright’s masterful novel teems with extraordinary characters—the outcast savior Elias Smith, the religious zealot Mozzie Fishman, the murderous mayor Bruiser, the moth-ridden Captain Nicoli Finn, the activist Will Phantom, and above all, the rulers of the family, the queen of the garbage dump and the fish-embalming king of time: Angel Day and Normal Phantom—who stand like giants in a storm-swept world. Wright’s storytelling is operatic and surreal: a blend of myth and scripture, politics and farce. She has a narrative gift for remaking reality itself, altering along her way, as if casually, the perception of what a novel can do with the inside of the reader's mind. Carpentaria is “an epic, exhilarating, unsettling novel” (Wall Street Journal) that is not to be missed.

Download or read book Fairy Tale Revivals in the Long Nineteenth Century written by Abigail Heiniger and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-09-12 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection opens with marginalized responses to the highly politicized Cinderella traditions in the Anglophone world. In the United States, Cinderella was incorporated into the gendered narrative of the American Dream and narratives of empire in the colonial world, particularly in the mid-1800s. Marginalized writers have responded to these nationalistic colonial traditions in two distinctive ways: clever Cinderellas who negotiate a broken system or passive Cinderellas who die as anti-heroes in disenchanting fairy tales. This dual tradition of marginalized Cinderellas is also apparent across the Anglophone world. Potential texts include the out-of-print works of Sinèad de Valera, excerpts from the novels of Hannah Crafts, Jessie Fauset, and Julia Kavanagh, along with dramas by Ann Devlin, and collected oral tales.
