Book excerpt: At significant milestones, people of faith find it essential to recall our heritage before forging ahead. Sheboygan County Chronicle is a timely look back for those moving forward, a satisfying story with heart, soul, and homespun humor. It s set in Bierville, a German-immigrant village in Wisconsin, from 1899 to 1911. In a rural community at the fringe of the rapidly changing world a century ago, characters with character wrestle with some of the deep, ageless questions of human existence. The community learns through struggle and heartache, grows in spirit, and, with the passing of time, is shaped and transformed by grace. Through occasional week-long visits, you ll grow to care about the people of Bierville and find yourself living among them. "Sheboygan County Chronicle contains all these elements: purity and peace, gentleness and friendship, compassion and good deeds. It does not back away from the presence of prejudice and hypocrisy in our lives. This is why I have so enjoyed the book and commend it to you." --Frederick R. Trost, author, former Conference Minister, Wisconsin A wonderfully realistic portrayal of the tensions, pitfalls, and the graces too, of being in the church. As I read it, I thought of my seminarians and how much they would profit from the reading of the REALITY of the community of faith in all its particularity and peculiarity . The writing is beautiful and the story is engaging and worth telling." --William H. Willimon, Dean of the Chapel and Professor of Christian Ministry, Duke University. "So many of the situations in the book are great real life illustrations of Scriptural truths . I really think this kind of narrative/story helps the biblical Word come alive as few things do." --Bryan C.

I m fortunate to be able to tell the story and maybe help someone else in the same predicament. To these people I say, Don t give up. Great job! Thank you for sharing it with me... I am a better person for having read it... I particularly like the ending. Full of hope, positive thoughts and inspiration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Not Grant nor Sherman, nor any of our country’s heroes, were ever made the subject of more ardent curiosity on the part of our citizens than the hero of a thousand-mile walk. The excitement at times reached almost to the point of frenzy and in their eagerness to gain a standing point right in front of the window at which the beaming countenance of the great man was seen, the crowd came in sharp collision with the police.” — Chicago Tribune — November, 1867 “He moved through a greater mass of people than was on the streets when William H. Taft, as President of the United States was here, or when Theodore Roosevelt came the day after. Crowds that blocked all traffic in the neighborhood greeted the veteran pedestrian. The side streets were choked and every roof had a fringe of humanity.” — New York’s The Sun — August, 1913 In a professional career spanning just over 60 years, one man would capture the imagination and the hearts of the people of the sporting world. Born in 1839, the enigmatic and eccentric American from Providence, Rhode Island, would become the “walking sensation” of both Britain and the USA, where he would “wow” the enormous crowds that filled the arenas and lined the roadsides with his performances on the tracks and highways. Handsome, immaculately dressed, well-spoken and intelligent, the “Wily Wobbler” would be watched by hoards of adoring fans throughout his career, which would see him compete against “time” and other athletes in the most amazing competitions. Everyone wanted to see him in action. Whenever he was pacing around a sawdust track, or scurrying along a dirt road, they clapped him, they cheered him, they loved him – and he loved them! Without them, he was a nobody, but with their support and his gutsy determination to succeed against all the odds, he became the...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Time travel, UFOs, mysterious planets, stigmata, rock-throwing poltergeists, huge footprints, bizarre rains of fish and frogs-nearly a century after Charles Fort's Book of the Damned was originally published, the strange phenomenon presented in this book remains largely unexplained by modern science. Through painstaking research and a witty, sarcastic style, Fort captures the imagination while exposing the flaws of popular scientific explanations. Virtually all of his material was compiled and documented from reports published in reputable journals, newspapers and periodicals because he was an avid collector. Charles Fort was somewhat of a recluse who spent most of his spare time researching these strange events and collected these reports from publications sent to him from around the globe. This was the first of a series of books he created on unusual and unexplained events and to this day it remains the most popular. If you agree that truth is often stranger than fiction, then this book is for you"--Taken from Good Reads website.

Download or read book Fun Home written by Alison Bechdel and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 2007 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fresh and brilliantly told memoir from a cult favorite comic artist, marked by gothic twists, a family funeral home, sexual angst, and great books. This breakout book by Alison Bechdel is a darkly funny family tale, pitch-perfectly illustrated with Bechdel's sweetly gothic drawings. Like Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis, it's a story exhilaratingly suited to graphic memoir form. Meet Alison's father, a historic preservation expert and obsessive restorer of the family's Victorian home, a third-generation funeral home director, a high school English teacher, an icily distant parent, and a closeted homosexual who, as it turns out, is involved with his male students and a family babysitter. Through narrative that is alternately heartbreaking and fiercely funny, we are drawn into a daughter's complex yearning for her father. And yet, apart from assigned stints dusting caskets at the family-owned "fun home," as Alison and her brothers call it, the relationship achieves its most intimate expression through the shared code of books. When Alison comes out as homosexual herself in late adolescense, the denouement is swift, graphic -- and redemptive.

Download or read book Fay Jones written by Sandy Harthorn and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Her paintings are tableaus, and her tableaus are stones, yet they are also baited traps, poised to spring. One moves around them with care as well as pleasure. -- Regina HackettThis delightful book, with insightful essays by Regina Hackett and Sondra Shulman, provides a fresh perspective and understanding of Fay Jones art. The paintings and mixed-media collages included here survey four main periods in the artist's career. From the early 1970s to 1977, Jones works were primarily diaristic. The artist created figural compositions in outdoor settings that explored her reflections on social conventions and interpersonal relationships. From 1977 to 1980, Jones became a socially conscious observer, moving beyond the personal views of a diarist. Her paintings grew in scale, while background landscapes and atmospheric perspective were eliminated and figures became more prominent.During the 1980s, Jones developed contrived fictions of painted stage sets in which all real space disappears and the artist incorporates theatrical devices. Diverse and conflicting figures lay one upon the other, overlapping like cutouts or paper dolls. Rendered in a geometric framework, they gain a sense of monumentality and take on the rhetoric of the stage. In the 1990s, Jones has incorporated a lighter, brighter palette and bolder shapes; she has found elegance in the simplification of forms and a directness that is poised and assured. In her paintings, Fay Jones has chronicled a lifetime of impressions, observations, and reflections, all peppered with brilliant imagination and wry humor.

Book excerpt: "Some Like It Cold chronicles the true story of twin brothers Lee and Larry Williams, who even as teenagers never considered surfing to be just a hobby, but rather a lifestyle. Over the next six decades, they rode the gnarliest waves despite living nearly 2,000 miles away from any ocean. To overcome the obstacles of being born and raised in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, the Williams boys adapted to the chilling realities of surfing in the freshwaters of the Great Lakes when bringing their dreams and longboards to the shores of Lake Michigan. Their combined passion and ingenuity has since transformed their hometown into "The Malibu of the Midwest." This new edition of Bill Povletich's previously published 2010 will include a new chapter in the "Fourth Wave" section, updating Lee and Larry Williams' story to the present"--
