Download or read book Tell It As It Was written by Kathleen Hann and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2002-05-23 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kathleen Hann was born into a poor working-class family in the Black Country during the depression of the nineteen thirties. She was a clever child at a time when it wasn't thought poor children could be clever, when ridicule was the only way the mediocre teachers knew how to deal with the situation. This is a book to make you laugh and cry as the author revisits her past and evokes many of the outrageous and picaresque charcters of her childhood, her youth and early womanhood. She was one of a hundred people in Shropshire chosen by the BBC to appear on the programme, The Century Speaks, in which the BBC called for people to give their views on Shropshire. This book is living history, experienced in the raw and tested on the pulses of a real participant whose vision of those times, while sympathetic, sincere and humorous, is never coloured by rose-tinted lenses. She has not given us a dry treatise of social history, but a slice of life that will forever remain with the reader.

Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Discover the game-changing theory of the cycles of history and what past generations can teach us about living through times of upheaval—with deep insights into the roles that Boomers, Generation X, and Millennials have to play—now with a new preface by Neil Howe. First comes a High, a period of confident expansion. Next comes an Awakening, a time of spiritual exploration and rebellion. Then comes an Unraveling, in which individualism triumphs over crumbling institutions. Last comes a Crisis—the Fourth Turning—when society passes through a great and perilous gate in history. William Strauss and Neil Howe will change the way you see the world—and your place in it. With blazing originality, The Fourth Turning illuminates the past, explains the present, and reimagines the future. Most remarkably, it offers an utterly persuasive prophecy about how America’s past will predict what comes next. Strauss and Howe base this vision on a provocative theory of American history. The authors look back five hundred years and uncover a distinct pattern: Modern history moves in cycles, each one lasting about the length of a long human life, each composed of four twenty-year eras—or “turnings”—that comprise history’s seasonal rhythm of growth, maturation, entropy, and rebirth. Illustrating this cycle through a brilliant analysis of the post–World War II period, The Fourth Turning offers bold predictions about how all of us can prepare, individually and collectively, for this rendezvous with destiny.

Download or read book As It Was Told to Me written by Ted Theodore and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-07-15 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Holy Bible contains God and his promises to every believer. Through the Holy Spirit, by divine revelations, we get to know and understand God words to us. Author Ted Theodore shares wisdom and divine insight about Gods word to every reader, especially devout Christians, in his book, As It Was Told To Me. When God promises, rather when God speaks, His Word is certain. It is definite. It is truth. It is life. When Jesus said, The words that I speak are spirit and life, He was referring to the spiritual creation of the Word and the eventual physical manifestation. It is this certainty that makes the concordance meaning of the word promise, in the New Testament, come alive, the author stated. In As It Was Told To Me, Theodore offers a deeper understanding of the scriptures found in the books of the Holy Bible. He captures truths that help readers understand about God, his absolute power, eternal presence, the value of faith, the lessons found in the Book of Genesis, the importance of prayer, and inspires readers to re-examine their beliefs, and their spiritual journey. This book will open readers eyes to the truth of Gods words providing a deeper and greater understanding of the Bible, which will eventually help them to in their spiritually growth and walk with God.

Download or read book The Bible As It Was written by James L. Kugel and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1999-11-01 with total page 700 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a guide to the Hebrew Bible unlike any other. Leading us chapter by chapter through its most important stories--from the Creation and the Tree of Knowledge through the Exodus from Egypt and the journey to the Promised Land--James Kugel shows how a group of anonymous, ancient interpreters radically transformed the Bible and made it into the book that has come down to us today. Was the snake in the Garden of Eden the devil, or the Garden itself "paradise"? Did Abraham discover monotheism, and was his son Isaac a willing martyr? Not until the ancient interpreters set to work. Poring over every little detail in the Bible's stories, prophecies, and laws, they let their own theological and imaginative inclinations radically transform the Bible's very nature. Their sometimes surprising interpretations soon became the generally accepted meaning. These interpretations, and not the mere words of the text, became the Bible in the time of Jesus and Paul or the rabbis of the Talmud. Drawing on such sources as the Dead Sea Scrolls, ancient Jewish apocrypha, Hellenistic writings, long-lost retellings of Bible stories, and prayers and sermons of the early church and synagogue, Kugel reconstructs the theory and methods of interpretation at the time when the Bible was becoming the bedrock of Judaism and Christianity. Here, for the first time, we can witness all the major transformations of the text and recreate the development of the Bible "As It Was" at the start of the Common era--the Bible as we know it.
