Download or read book Gashmu Saith It written by Douglas Wilson and published by Canon Press. This book was released on 2021-11-30 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Nehemiah rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem, Gashmu and the enemies of Israel mocked him: "It is reported among the heathen, and Gashmu saith it, that thou and the Jews think to rebel..." (Neh. 6:6). Too many Christians building communities today take the taunts of every modern-day Gashmu seriously. Community is a buzzword, and it turns out there's a lot of bad advice about how to build one. In Gashmu Saith It, Douglas Wilson includes forty years of experience for Christians wanting to build robust communities without retreat or compromise on the foundation of the Gospel. This book is full of wisdom: Get calluses. Be loyal. Fight sin. Build walls on the outside and a church in the middle.

I will teach you my ways…if you can survive it…" All I've ever dreamed of is to learn the ways of magic, but the village witch casts me off because I can’t read. I’m just a poor miller’s daughter, but the most beautiful man I’ve ever seen finds me weeping by the side of the road, and takes pity on me. He gives me my first kiss and a gold coin, and tells me that if I can hang onto the gold coin for one year, he’ll return and make my dreams come true. Well, how on earth is a girl supposed to hang onto a gold coin when she’s freezing and hungry? Now the handsome man has returned and as it turns out, he’s a king—and my father tells him I can spin straw into gold, since…I might have told a few wild stories about where that damn coin came from. Now I’m locked in a tower by a king who knows I’m a liar who spent his coin, and if I can’t spin the straw into gold, I’ll face his punishment. He’s more of a jerk than I thought, but he’s the king, so what am I to do? Enter the Trickster Mage—a ragged, wild goblin sorcerer. He’ll teach me to spin the straw into gold but in exchange he asks for the most wicked bargain I can imagine—and I will learn the secrets of the most exquisite and horrible patience. Caught between these two men, I learn more than I ever imagined—and more than the goblin sorcerer ever imagined as well, because as we grow closer, I begin to see the man behind the Trickster Mage—and grow closer to his true name. The Goblin’s Curse is a steamy fairy tale retelling of Rumpelstiltskin for those who like an adorable happily ever after fairy tale romance.

Book excerpt: Summary of the story: In the middle of the magical forest, there was a Goblin’s named Grumble, Flutter, and Snicker went on an adventure called the Goblin's Treasure Hunt. Their trip took them through beautiful green areas, over bubbling brooks, and deep into interesting caves. Along the way, they met mythical animals, solved problems, and went through tests that put their courage and friendship to the test. As they followed an old, dirty map, what started out as a search for material wealth turned into a search for something much more important. They learned that the greatest treasures were not cash and jewelry, but the people they met, the lessons they learned, and the acts of kindness they did for other people. When the three friends found a magical genie lamp, they could make a wish, but they knew that the real value of their journey was in the memories they made and the bond they formed. They did not care about themselves when they worked to keep the beauty of the country they had grown to love. They did this so that the Enchanted Forest could continue to be a place of wonder and peace. Their hard work didn't go unnoticed by the Enchanted Forest, which grew even more magical and became a safe place for all living things, both human and magical. People in Fairytale Ville respected their heroes by sharing stories about their bravery and wisdom and passing down the story of the Goblin's Treasure Hunt from one generation to the next. Grumble, Flutter, and Snicker became sources of hope and motivation for others, showing them how important it is to be friends, work together, and try for the best. Their story moved both kids and adults, telling them that real treasures can be found in laughter shared with friends and in the wonders of the world around us. Grumble, Flutter, and Snicker's legacy lives on, reminding us to enjoy the beauty of daily life, value our relationships, and make wishes that bring happiness and peace to the world without thinking about ourselves. The Goblin's Treasure Hunt is a timeless reminder that the best treasures are not gold, but the love, kindness, and wonder we create on our own unique journeys. How the Story Starts Once upon a time, Grumble, a bad fairy, lived in the made-up town of Fairytale Ville. Grumble was known for how much he liked shiny things and how often he got into trouble. He lived deep in the magical forest, where old trees whispered secrets and strange animals roamed free. Grumble, the goblin who liked to cause trouble, made this strange area his home. As soon as he opened his eyes in the morning, he heard the beautiful songs of birds and the soft rustling of leaves. The air had a magical feel to it that made him feel like anything was possible. When Grumble was looking through his collection of odd things one sunny morning, his sharp eyes got a glimpse of something strange. A dusty, spider-web-covered old map was sitting in a forgotten nook. The edges of the paper were torn, and it had turned yellow with age. Grumble's heart skipped a beat when he realized he had found a secret treasure—an ancient relic full of excitement and a lot of money. Grumble slowly opened the map with shaky hands, revealing a confusing maze of lines and symbols. His eyes lit up with joy as he ran his finger along the old roads and sites, trying to figure out what the cryptic clues meant. On the map, there was a path to a secret place that was said to have the most valuable wealth in the whole enchanted forest. Grumble's cheeky smile grew as he thought about how exciting it would be to go on a treasure hunt. His quick fingers held on tight to the map, and his mind was full of thoughts. He knew he couldn't go on this trip by himself; he needed the help of his friends, each of whom had different skills that would help him complete his task. Grumble set out to find his best friend, the fairy Flutter, with excitement running through his blood. Flutter was known for her beautiful wings, which sparkled in all the colors of the rainbow. She was good at finding things that were hidden and had as much courage as the wildest adventures. Grumble found Flutter under a beautiful stream. Her beautiful body was floating over a delicate flower. On the mossy ground, he was almost silent as he walked toward her. He waved the map in front of Flutter with a mean look in his eyes and couldn't hide his excitement. He told Flutter, "Look what I found! It's a treasure map! Let's go on a treasure hunt!" Grumble opened the dirty map to show its beautiful details, and his eyes grew big with happiness. The paper showed a large part of the magical forest, with landmarks and strange symbols all over it. It was a treasure map that could lead to wealth and adventures you could never imagine. Grumble's heart was beating faster as he moved his finger along the lines, following the way to the prize. Legends said that it was so valuable that it was worth more than any other prize in Fairytale Ville. Grumble's bad heart was filled with joy at the thought of finding such a rare gem. As he enjoyed his new wealth, he could already see the envy and respect in the eyes of his fellow goblins. The map became his compass and gave him a sense of direction. Grumble's mind went crazy with each step as he thought about all the money and diamonds he would find at the end of the journey. He knew that the road ahead would be hard and full of obstacles, but he kept going because he wanted the prize. Grumble went deeper into the magical woods because he was excited by what he didn't know, the chance to find something new, and the promise of endless wealth. As he set out, his mind was full of questions. What might he find along the way? Would he have to deal with creatures that were out to get him? Or, to get to his prize, he might have to solve problems and avoid tricky traps. Grumble's heart raced with excitement, even though he was used to danger. He liked the thrill of outsmarting his opponents and getting past obstacles. The chance to find a big treasure got his goblin senses going, so he kept going with determination. Grumble figured out that he couldn't go on this trip by himself. He needed the help and skills of his teammates to deal with the problems that were coming. He walked through the magical forest with the map tightly in his hand, looking for his best friends to join him on this amazing journey. Grumble was excited to go on a journey with Flutter, who never got scared, and Snicker, who was smart and funny. They would get past any problem to get the treasures that were buried deep in the magical forest. As Grumble went deeper into the bush, he was getting more and more excited. He liked the unknown because it was mysterious and exciting, and he was looking forward to the journey that was waiting for him. In his hands, the map was more than just an old piece of paper. It became a sign of possibilities and dreams about to come true. Grumble's eyes shone with purpose because he knew the prize, he was working for was more than just money. It was a test of courage, persistence, and the strength of friendships. With the help of his loyal friends and the treasure map, Grumble went on a journey in Fairytale Ville that would change the course of his life for good. Grumble's heart leapt with joy as he thought about all the fun things they were going to do. If Flutter was with them, they couldn't lose. They would find out the secrets of the enchanted forest and work through problems and wins together. Grumble saw that Flutter's bravery and amazing ability to find things that are hidden gave them a good chance of solving the puzzles that lay ahead. Grumble and Flutter went to the warm den of Snicker the squirrel together. Snicker was known for being smart and funny, so he was the perfect person to help them find the prize. As they got closer to Snicker's house, Grumble's steps got lighter because he was getting more and more excited about their next adventure. When they came, Snicker was busy getting acorns and putting them in neat piles. His bushy tail moved back and forth as he carefully put his wealth in order. Grumble and Flutter gave each other a knowing look, eager to tell their clever friend about what they had found. Grumble walked up to Snicker with a mean grin and waved the map in his face. "Snicker, we need your help! Look, we found a treasure map! We're going on a treasure hunt!" Snicker looked at the old piece of paper with wide eyes. His fast paws stopped sorting the acorns, and a mean look flashed in his eyes. He asked, "A treasure hunt, you say?" "Count me in, my friends! Let's find this hidden treasure and make our own legends!" Grumble, Flutter, and Snicker huddled together and talked excitedly about their plans. They looked at the map, tried to figure out what the strange marks meant, and planned how to get through the magical forest.
