Download or read book Saving Snowflake Men written by Lee Petty and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-12 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current culture is one that has shunned masculinity and adopted femininity as the measure of a worthy man. The Church, God's holy institution that was created for our good and His glory, has too been infiltrated by this culture of Nancy men. This book takes a biblical look at masculinity as it compares to Jesus and God's word using language that is known by every man; sarcasm. We will dive deep into the man rules, the guiding principles for every God-fearing man. The standard to walk the Christian walk is not what this culture or many churches have made it out to be. The measure of a fulfilling life is by God's word and Jesus. Jesus was no Nancy. Men should not be either. Man Rule #1 - Take Responsibility for Your Sins, Douche BagMan Rule #2 - Believe, Dumb Ass Man Rule #3 - Do what Jesus Commanded, SlappyMan Rule #4 - Be Like Jesus, You WormMan Rule #5 - Choose Love, You Hard Hearted BastardMan Rule #6 - Get in CommunityMan Rule #7 - Quite playing Grab Ass and Get in the Game Man Rule #8 - Be Prepared for Battle If you are a man that has not shadowed the door of a church in sometime because the thought of being around soft men disgust you, this book is for you. This is a call to men that have callouses, dirt under their fingernails, grease up to their elbows and bloody knuckles from time to time to accept the challenge of being more like Christ. If you are a man and mild PG-13 language offends you, this book could make you want your safe place, but this is for you too! Our culture needs to change, and it is up to men to do it.About the author: Born in West Texas, Lee Petty is not a best selling author, did not attend theology school, does not receive a pay check in ministry and does not care what you think about him. His smart ass mouth has gotten him in trouble more than once, yet he still managed to land an amazing wife of 16 years and create three like-minded offspring. Lee's passion is to see men take up the mantle of power that God has given them to wield and use it for His glory. You can catch Lee in the winter time on the ski slopes, in the spring, fishing, in the summer, hiking and camping, and the fall, hunting. He works to glorify God and seeks opportunities to be a faithful witness. He has God's word and gift of salvation. There is nothing more needed to have a fulfilling life glorifying to God.

Book excerpt: In this Caldecott Medal–winning picture book, the true story of Wilson Bentley and his singular fascination with snowflakes is rendered in rich prose and gorgeous artwork, perfect for the holidays, snow days, and everyday.

His parents supported his curiosity and saved until they could give him his own camera and microscope. At the time, his enthusiasm was misunderstood. But with patience and determination, Wilson catalogued hundreds of snowflake photographs, gave slideshows of his findings and, when he was 66, published a book of his photos. His work became the basis for all we know about beautiful, unique snowflakes today. This biographical tribute to a very special farmer is the perfect holiday gift or snow day read.

Download or read book The Man Who Saved Geometry written by Siobhan Roberts and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2024-10-29 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An illuminating biography of one of the greatest geometers of the twentieth century Driven by a profound love of shapes and symmetries, Donald Coxeter (1907–2003) preserved the tradition of classical geometry when it was under attack by influential mathematicians who promoted a more algebraic and austere approach. His essential contributions include the famed Coxeter groups and Coxeter diagrams, tools developed through his deep understanding of mathematical symmetry. The Man Who Saved Geometry tells the story of Coxeter’s life and work, placing him alongside history’s greatest geometers, from Pythagoras and Plato to Archimedes and Euclid—and it reveals how Coxeter’s boundless creativity reflects the adventurous, ever-evolving nature of geometry itself. With an incisive, touching foreword by Douglas R. Hofstadter, The Man Who Saved Geometry is an unforgettable portrait of a visionary mathematician.

Download or read book How the Man in Green Saved Pahang and Possibly the World written by Joshua Kam and published by Epigram Books. This book was released on 2020 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2020 Epigram Books Fiction Prize When a renegade prophet vanishes in a cloud of pigeons in Kuala Lumpur, chorister and first witness Gabriel finds himself press-ganged into a wild road trip down the Malaysian coast. Meanwhile, in a sleepy town by the sea, Lydia traces the links between her late grandaunt’s eccentric lover and her involvement in the Communist Emergency. As Lydia and Gabriel enter a shadowy mythology of serpents, Sufi saints and plainclothes gods, they must grapple with the theologies and histories they once trusted, in a country more perilously punk than they’d ever conceived of. Reader Reviews: "A dizzying tale of saints, heists, maybe-queens." —The Straits Times "Quite the debut, accomplished, deft, unabashed and exuberant." —Asian Review of Books "Author Joshua Kam’s debut book brings Asian mythology to the forefront." —The Sun Daily Malaysian author blurs myths and truths as you escape on a wild road trip ... This whimsical, rollercoaster ride of a book also carries a tale of old and new Malaysia colliding, with various figures from local history, politics and folklore coming together in an epic quest for the soul of the nation. —newsday24.com "In essence, (the novel) acts as a love letter to Malaysian folklore and history, showcasing an impressive degree of representation and imagination that never feels shoehorned into the narrative." —Bakchormeeboy "What a trip! This 21st-century adventure quest with an Islamic saint also brings us on a madcap tour through a multitude of Malaysian mythologies— Malay epics, Taoist pantheons, WW2/Emergency/Merdeka heroics, and more. Even more vitally, it gives us hope amidst the dire news of our era— political corruption, environmental devastation and bigotry—reassuring us that the human/divine spirit still flourishes in the late-capitalist tropics, and is ultimately destined to triumph over evil. An absolute delight, and truly, deliciously Malaysian.” —Ng Yi-Sheng, award-winning author of Lion City “Borgesian, even Manichean in spirit, with almost reverent borrowings from Nusantara mythologies to Abrahamic religiosity, this novel is a wild ride from start to finish, riffing on Malayan history, politics and folklore in a surprisingly redemptive arc, while remaining deeply interrogative about what it means to keep true to goodness in the ever-changing face of evil.” —Cyril Wong, two-time Singapore Literature Prize-winning author of This Side of Heaven
