Book excerpt: "In an intimate record of his twenty-three-year marriage to poet Jane Kenyon, Donald Hall recounts the rich pleasures and the unforeseen trials of their shared life. The couple made a home at their New England farmhouse, where they rejoiced in rituals of writing, gardening, caring for pets, and connecting with their rural community through friends and church. The Best Day the Worst Day presents a portrait of the inner moods of "the best marriage I know about," as Hall has written, against the stark medical emergency of Jane's leukemia, which ended her life in fifteen months. Between recollections of better times, Hall shares with readers the daily ordeal of Jane's dying through heartbreaking but ultimately inspiring storytelling."--Back cover.

Download or read book Even on Your Worst Day You Can Be a Student s Best Hope written by Manny Scott and published by ASCD. This book was released on 2017-08-05 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Manny Scott travels the world speaking to students and educators, he meets young people whose stories sound a lot like his own—a childhood that was marked by poverty, instability, violence, and despair until a few caring educators showed him how to find meaning in the classroom and gave him a glimpse of his own possibilities. So many kids he meets today need this kind of hope and practical assistance. But with all that is already on educators’ plates, what can an individual teacher do to help traumatized children believe in themselves, succeed in school, and graduate prepared for work and life? Here, you’ll find answers. With the same passion that inspires so many who hear him speak, Scott presents an approach informed by the teachers who helped him and honed through years of connecting with kids who desperately need someone to show them a path to a more positive future. He shares the little things you can do to prepare yourself for the hard work of making a difference and offers advice for bridging cultural divides, earning students’ trust, and equipping them to take responsibility for their own success. This book is a reminder of the incredible power every teacher has to help young people rewrite their destinies—and it’s a call to action for all who read it.
Download or read book Willow Temple written by Donald Hall and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 2004-08-23 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of stories by the former US poet laureate, “a first-rate work by an author whose control over the tools of his genre is impeccable” (Publishers Weekly). A contemplative selection of twelve short stories from the celebrated author Donald Hall, Willow Temple focuses on the effects of divorce, adultery, and neglect. Hall’s stories are reminiscent of those of Alice Munro and William Maxwell in their mastery of form and their ability to trace the emotional fault lines connecting generations. “From Willow Temple” is the indelible story of a child’s witness of her mother’s adultery and the loss that underlies it. Three stories present David Bardo at crucial junctures of his life, beginning as a child drawn to his parents’ “cozy adult coven of drunks” and growing into a young man whose intense first affair undergirds a lifelong taste for ardor and betrayal. In this superbly perceptive collection, Hall gives memorable accounts of the passionate weight of lives. “[Hall possesses] a consistent gift for delicate description.” —The New York Times Book Review “Hall is comfortable with small stages—a tavern, a summer music camp, a farm, an artist’s studio, a junior college classroom, a cemetery, a bakery. But the quiet dramas that boil up in such places . . . are never small.” —Chicago Tribune “Understated lyricism very much in what William Carlos Williams (whom Hall often resembles) called the ‘American grain.’ Moving and memorable.” —Kirkus Reviews “A writer who attains the same high level of the game in poetry, fiction, and nonfiction.” —The Boston Globe “[Willow Temple] attests to Hall’s mastery as a storyteller, the prose lyrical and elegiac as he moving unfolds each character’s frailties.” —Ploughshares

You will feel he is yours as you read these real-life stories of redemption." Bart Millard of MercyMe Not a moment of your life has been left to chance. Not a moment have you been uncared for. Many of us stumbled into Jesus and discovered the one we'd been searching for our entire lives-whether we knew it or not. Now that we've found Him though, it's hard not to wonder where He was before... Where was He on our worst days? Were we as overwhelmingly alone as we felt? What if every single moment of every single day-He had been magnificently redeeming your worst days into your best ones? What if redemption wasn't a tenet of cold theology, but instead, a relationship of love that was formed most deeply, not when you were on your game, but when you couldn't seem to make sense of almost anything? The hope-infused pages of On My Worst Day reveal the redemption you've longed for. Discover firsthand how the narrative of your life changes as you dare to believe that your worst days do not define you. With each impactful story, you will be awakened to the undeniable power of the cross that sets you free. Whether for the first time or the first time in a long time, you will encounter the voice of God, who has adored you from the beginning and you will hear His words to you: You are enough, My child. Surpassingly enough. Praise for On My Worst Day: "Everyone I know wants to hang out with John Lynch. He's just that type of guy. You're drawn to him, almost without explanation.

This book is your chance to hang out with John, share some incredibly honest moments with him, and discover the rejuvenating power of God's grace." Dr. Andrew Farley, host of Andrew Farley LIVE on Sirius XM, bestselling author of The Naked Gospel and Twisted Scripture "John Lynch is a trusted storyteller who brilliantly engages the human journey, both his and ours, with kind humor, authentic insight, and deep compassion."

Bill Thrall, co-founder of Trueface, co-author of The Cure "I have never met anyone like John Lynch. He reminds me of a human lantern shining a light of God's outrageous love so bright my eyes squint. If you are so lucky as to read the magnificent On My Worst Day, you will encounter an unguarded peek into a life compellingly marked by unfathomable grace, and the vast love of a very intimate God. Let these powerful words shine as they persuade all of us who long for redemption in our own stories: 'Not a minute left to chance, not a moment uncared for.' Cheers to this important and hopeful book!" Tracy Levinson, bestselling author of Unashamed - Candid Conversations about Dating, Love, Nakedness, & Faith
