Fifteen years on, as a newly graduated doctor of psychiatry, Leonard arrives at the Weyburn Mental Hospital, both excited and intimidated by the massive institution known for its experimental LSD trials.

Book The Definitive Guide to the Prophetic

Download or read book The Definitive Guide to the Prophetic written by Joni Ames and published by Whitaker House. This book was released on 2018-10-02 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "An outstanding presentation of proper use of prophetic ministry..." --Bill Hamon "Every believer will do well to read and heed this strategic book." --Jack Taylor "A solid prophetic voice in the church today." --Roberts Liardon Restoring Prophetic Ministry to Its Rightful Place in God's Church "Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith." (Romans 12:6) Joni Ames provides a Bible-based, clear, concise, and practical explanation of the operation and use of personal prophetic ministry in the church today. Her goal is twofold: first, to act as a teacher and mentor to help people with prophetic gifts understand and mature into those gifts; and second, to help pastors and church leaders understand, acknowledge, discern, and train the prophetic community within their body of believers. Joni also debunks some myths and falsehoods about prophetic ministry, while bringing a greater level of maturity and confidence to those seeking to develop their revelatory gifts.

Book The River Queen

Download or read book The River Queen written by Mary Morris and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2008-05-27 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the fall of 2005 acclaimed writer Mary Morris set off down the Mississippi River in a battered old houseboat called The River Queen, with two river rats named Tom and Jerry and an ailing, irascible rat terrier named Samantha Jean. Her father had just died. Her daughter had gone off to college. Lost and uncertain, Morris returned to the river of her youth, to the waterside towns where her father had once lived. In this poignant and often humorous memoir, Morris reclaims the world of her childhood as she gets a bearing on her future. She describes traveling down stream through the Midwest, living like a pirate as she survives a tornado and infestation of mayflies, bivouacs on beaches, and ties up to paddleboats in the dark of night. As she learns to pilot the River Queen through these fabled waters, Morris delivers a memoir that "deserves to be both a best-seller and a classic" (The Courier-Journal).

Book Mary Toft  or  The Rabbit Queen

Download or read book Mary Toft or The Rabbit Queen written by Dexter Palmer and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2019-11-19 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1726, in the town of Godalming, England, a woman confounded the nation’s medical community by giving birth to seventeen rabbits. This astonishing true story is the basis for Dexter Palmer’s stunning, powerfully evocative new novel. Surgeon’s apprentice Zachary Walsh knows that his master, John Howard, prides himself on his rationality. But John cannot explain how or why Mary Toft, the wife of a local journeyman, has managed to give birth to a dead rabbit. When this singular event be­comes a regular occurrence, John and Zach­ary realize that nothing in their experience as rural physicians has prepared them to deal with a situation like this—strange, troubling, and possibly miraculous. John contacts sev­eral of London’s finest surgeons, three of whom soon arrive in Godalming to observe, argue, and perhaps use the case to cultivate their own fame. When King George I learns of Mary’s plight, she and her doctors are summoned to London, where Zachary experiences a world far removed from his small-town ex­istence and is exposed to some of the dark­est corners of the human soul. All the while Mary lies in bed, as doubts begin to blossom among her caretakers and a growing group of onlookers waits with impatience for an­other birth, another miracle.

Book Golden Memories and Silver Tears

Download or read book Golden Memories and Silver Tears written by Willard Dolman and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2000-12-20 with total page 642 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an inspirational nonfiction narrative of life during the great depression as viewed through the absorbing eyes and inquisitive mind of a child and his dog. It is a vibrant word portrait of the non-martyr life of a coal miner's son, his extended family, and the people of the anthracite coal region when the economy of our nation was at low ebb. It portrays, contrasts, and harmonizes the values, principles, life styles, and the multicultural ethnic customs and mores, of the Polish, Irish, Welch, English, and Jewish nationalities living in the northeastern region of Pennsylvania during the 1930s. It presents a society that was less complex than the one we currently live in; it exhibits personal support that was given warmly and with less formality and expense than we experience today. It is an interesting mixture of tragedy, joy, and humor emerged in a secure way of life.

  • Release : 2022-08-18
  • ISBN : 1982286296
  • Pages : 122 pages

Download or read book Moose Conquering Fear written by Peter Massam and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2022-08-18 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is as easy to fall into a working life as it is into a new relationship, from which springs eternal the hope that both will last. Choosing ‘safe’ over ‘fear of losing’ can result in an increasing sense of uneasiness, harder to ignore or dismiss the more prolonged the endurance. For George, confronting fears was a lifelong skill acquired over many years: taking the knocks, making ill-judged decisions and not learning from past errors, all served to muddy the waters. Making the harder calls on personal and career transitions seemed to open up a chasm of doubt in his mind, but with the right support and a leap of faith in his own abilities, the challenges that lay ahead of him became as alluring as a late spring sunset after a rain-soaked day.
