The two-handled sword also, which nothing could resist--" "What was that ?" interrupted Constantine. "I would rather that you should discover that for yourself," said Mrs. Roby. "If the kernel of an allegory be good, it is worth the trouble of cracking the shell" "Oh! but I hate all trouble," cried Adolphus, "above all, the trouble of thinking!" "Take care, take care," laughed little Laura, "or we shall suspect that you have been caught by Giant Sloth." CHAPTER IV. GIANT SELFISHNESS. "Do you know, mamma," said Laura the next day, as she and her sister sat alone with their mother, the boys being at lessons in the study, "do you know that I did not feel inclined to get up when I was called, but the clock began to strike, which put Giant Sloth into my head, and up I jumped in a minute!" "I am glad that you made such practical use of my little tale," replied Mrs. Roby with a smile. "But mamma, --if I might say something," began Bertha, then hesitated and paused "Say anything that you please, my dear." "I almost wondered at your beginning with only Giant Sloth; that seems such a little fault compared with the great ones of the Probyns. Constantine did not seem hit at all, for he is active enough in mischief" "I repeat that I hit no one," replied her mother. "Oh !--but--you know what I mean, mamma; I should have liked something very-- very--" Bertha's face had a puzzled look, for she knew not how to express her meaning, "I should have liked some story that would have made them know themselves, and hate thenfaults as every one else must hate them! I would have had a horrible Giant Selfishness!" she added, her manner becoming more excited as she spoke. "You look upon selfishness then as their grand enemy!" "Oh! mamma can anything be plainer--...

Book excerpt: SINCE THE DAY YOU WERE BORN, there have been giants in your life. Tyrants of immense size who try to exert negative influence over your destiny. Giants try to intimidate you into inaction and apathy. They want to convince you that your past mistakes, family tree, size, and shame will always hold you back. I, too, was born with giants. When I was eight years old, twenty-seven of my relatives were massacred by cult leader Jim Jones in the Jonestown Guyana Tragedy. The shame of my own family history shadowed my life until I discovered the lessons revealed in this book, a searing expose of how our history can influence our legacy. We were made to break the cycle and, just like men and women in the Bible, fiercely face the giants in our lives before they get passed to the next generation. Be A Giant Killer is a knockout punch to what's holding you back from your wildest dreams and best life! "Powerful and impactful! Ed is an incredible man and friend with a very unique personal story.

Download or read book Lessons from David written by Andrew Wommack and published by Destiny Image Publishers. This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Probably one of the most well- known characters in the Bible is David. He grew up a shepherd boy and defeated a giant named Goliath and then went on to be King of Israel. While king, David made some serious mistakes. However, David didn't try to place the blame on other people. He took responsibility and shouldered the blame himself. By doing this, he was described by God as a "man after His own heart." In this book, you will learn that God has a good plan for every individual. But sometimes you can thwart that plan by your own desire to fulfill certain desires and dreams but God's grace can bring you back to the plan that God has for you. Even though David made some mistakes and even cost people their lives, he repented and was able to turn the direction of those mistakes to want to serve the Lord. God's grace is evident through the entire life of David. Rather than having to go through your own hard knocks, the author encourages the reader to learn from these life lessons from David

Book excerpt: A girl’s imagination transports polio-afflicted kids into a fantastic world. The spring of 1955 tests Laurie Valentine’s gifts as a storyteller. After her friend Dickie contracts polio and finds himself confined to an iron lung, Laurie visits him in the hospital. There she meets Carolyn and Chip, two other kids trapped inside the breathing machines. Laurie’s first impulse is to flee, but Dickie begs her to tell them a story. And so Laurie begins her tale of Collosso, a rampaging giant, and Jimmy, a tiny boy whose destiny is to become a slayer of giants. As Laurie embellishes her tale with gnomes, unicorns, gryphons, and other fanciful creatures, Dickie comes to believe that he is a character in her story. Little by little Carolyn, Chip, and other kids who come to listen, recognize counterparts as well. Laurie’s tale is so powerful that when she’s prevented from continuing it, Dickie, Carolyn, and Chip take turns as narrators. Each helps bring the story of Collosso and Jimmy to an end—changing the lives of those in the polio ward in startling ways.

Book excerpt: THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The only comprehensive, firsthand account of the fourteen-hour firefight at the Battle of Keating in Afghanistan by Medal of Honor recipient Clinton Romesha, for readers of Black Hawk Down by Mark Bowden and Lone Survivor by Marcus Luttrell. “‘It doesn't get better.’ To us, that phrase nailed one of the essential truths, maybe even the essential truth, about being stuck at an outpost whose strategic and tactical vulnerabilities were so glaringly obvious to every soldier who had ever set foot in that place that the name itself—Keating—had become a kind of backhanded joke.” In 2009, Clinton Romesha of Red Platoon and the rest of the Black Knight Troop were preparing to shut down Command Outpost (COP) Keating, the most remote and inaccessible in a string of bases built by the US military in Nuristan and Kunar in the hope of preventing Taliban insurgents from moving freely back and forth between Afghanistan and Pakistan. Three years after its construction, the army was finally ready to concede what the men on the ground had known immediately: it was simply too isolated and too dangerous to defend. On October 3, 2009, after years of constant smaller attacks, the Taliban finally decided to throw everything they had at Keating. The ensuing fourteen-hour battle—and eventual victory—cost eight men their lives. Red Platoon is the riveting firsthand account of the Battle of Keating, told by Romesha, who spearheaded both the defense of the outpost and the counterattack that drove the Taliban back beyond the wire and received the Medal of Honor for his actions.
