They are honest, accurate, and give the reader a wonderful sense of the Greek.”—Drew A. Hyland, Review of Metaphysics

Download or read book Something Beautiful Happened written by Yvette Manessis Corporon and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yvette Manessis Corporon grew up listening to her grandmother's stories about how the people of the small Greek island Erikousa hid a Jewish family -- a tailor named Savvas and his daughters -- from the Nazis during World War II. Nearly 2,000 Jews from that area died in the concentration camps, but even though everyone on Erikousa knew Savvas and his family were hiding on the island, no one ever gave them up, and the family survived the war. Years later, Yvette couldn't get the story of the Jewish tailor out of her head. She decided to track down the man's descendants -- and eventually found them in Israel. Their tearful reunion was proof to her that evil doesn't always win. But just days after she made the connection, her cousin's child was gunned down in a parking lot in Kansas, a victim of a Neo-Nazi out to inflict as much harm as he could. Despite her best hopes, she was forced to confront the fact that seventy years after the Nazis were defeated, it was still happening today. As Yvette and her family wrestled with the tragedy in their own lives, the lessons she learned from the survivors of the Holocaust helped her confront and make sense of the present.

We keep on with our focused, relentless pursuit of everything else and find ourselves dissatisfied. In Do Something Beautiful, York Moore shows you how to: reframe your own story and begin seeing God’s story breaking into your life in the everyday moments leave behind mediocrity and be a part of that beautiful story, and make your life count for something that matters. Don’t give up on your “something more.” Chase it better.

Book excerpt: ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: THE NEW YORK TIMES • NPR • THE GUARDIAN From pole to pole and across decades of lived experience, National Book Award-winning author Barry Lopez delivers his most far-ranging, yet personal, work to date. Horizon moves indelibly, immersively, through the author’s travels to six regions of the world: from Western Oregon to the High Arctic; from the Galápagos to the Kenyan desert; from Botany Bay in Australia to finally, unforgettably, the ice shelves of Antarctica. Along the way, Lopez probes the long history of humanity’s thirst for exploration, including the prehistoric peoples who trekked across Skraeling Island in northern Canada, the colonialists who plundered Central Africa, an enlightenment-era Englishman who sailed the Pacific, a Native American emissary who found his way into isolationist Japan, and today’s ecotourists in the tropics. And always, throughout his journeys to some of the hottest, coldest, and most desolate places on the globe, Lopez searches for meaning and purpose in a broken world.

Download or read book All Things Beautiful Ziparound Devotional written by Belle City Gifts and published by BroadStreet Publishing Group LLC. This book was released on 2021-05-04 with total page 736 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We’ve probably all heard an older gentleman declare that his wife is more beautiful now than the day they married. And we likely thought he was crazy. What we fail to recognize in our outward-focused airbrushed society, is that time really does make things beautiful. More accurately, time gives us perspective on the true definition of beauty. When we sit and intentionally reflect on something, it affords us a glimpse into the depth of beauty that lies within. So, while the external beauty may be fading, there is a wealth of beauty inside. God says that he makes all things beautiful in his time. All things. As you reflect on these Scriptures, devotions and prayers, you will find the unfading beauty spoken of in God’s Word. Perseverance, humility, grace, obedience—these are beautiful. But there’s more. The beauty God creates in us cannot be fully described in human terms. When you are met with challenges, take time to sit in the presence of the Lord. As you rest there, you become more like him, adopting his thoughts and plans as your own. In time you will see how difficult situations became a catalyst for true beauty in you. SPECIAL FEATURES: • High-grade faux leather cover provides durability and exquisite tactile appeal. • Special heat debossing gives the cover a two-tone appearance and creates indentation which shows off the intricate design and varied texture. • Metallic and matte foil finishing touches are elegantly placed to enhance features, capturing attention and adding class for an aesthetic appeal. • This high-quality, sturdy Smythe-sewn binding stitches the signatures together creating durability and allowing pages to lay flat when open.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who is that sitting on a small rotating planet gliding through a large cold universe? It's you, of course. And where do you think you are going? The deepest question in every human heart is: does my life ultimately matter? What is my value based on? In Who Are You, Really? you will see where others have found meaning, which can be a vantage point from which to make your own discoveries. Becoming the person you are called to be is a journey into reality. The journey involves shedding all that is not your true self. The journey is about becoming more real. These pages cover a range of topics--your past, coming to see God's gifts, your relationship with God, and more--touching on things you might have thought were unrelated to each other. They all have something to do with who you are and how you can know this. Doing the exercises at the end of each chapter and praying the psalms will help you make your own discoveries and "see for yourself." There is someone waiting for you at the end of this journey--someone you will enjoy meeting. You will find the answer to who you really are.

His fingernails dug into the skin on his bare arms, and he pursed his lips grimly.Slowly, I scooted toward him. "Talk to me, Danny, please," I said, trying to pry one of his arms loose. But the more I tugged, the more rigidly he kept them crossed against his body as he shrank away from me as far as he could inside the cramped car. For a moment, I was afraid he would simply get out and walk away.Too close, a voice whispered inside me. You're much too close to him!I let go of his arm so I could slide back into my seat, and he relaxed almost instantly. He took several deep, slow breaths before opening his eyes and blinking at me through his long lashes."You know why," he whispered. "And someday I'll tell you myself. I promise. Be patient with me."
