Download or read book Mark Twain written by Hamlin Hill and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-04-15 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After laughing their way through his classic and beloved depictions of nineteenth-century American life, few readers would suspect that Mark Twain’s last years were anything but happy and joyful. They would be wrong. Contrary to the myth perpetrated by his literary executors Twain ended his life as a frustrated writer plagued by paranoia. He suffered personal tragedies, got involved in questionable business ventures, and was a demanding and controlling father and husband. As Mark Twain: God’s Fool demonstrates, the difficult circumstances of Twain’s personal life make his humorous output all the more surprising and admirable. “Ham[lin] Hill remains among the smartest, most honest, and most humane of Twain scholars—and . . . God’s Fool parades those qualities on every page.” Jeff Steinbrink, Franklin & Marshall College “Fills a great, long-standing need for a thoroughly researched book about Mark Twain’s twilight years. . . . Splendidly, grippingly written and excellently documented. . . . Likely to be a standard work for as long as anyone can foresee.” Choice

Download or read book The Godfool written by Mark Pendergrast and published by . This book was released on 2015-09 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Once there was a fool. He must have had a real name once, but the only name he knew, and the only thing he was called, was Fool...." Thus begins this thought-provoking folktale. The Godfool is not just a children's book. It is a fable, a parable with a moral for all of us. The village Fool, who sleeps in Ma Beezle's pig trough, comes to believe that he is also God. Though he is the butt of jokes and source of amusement for many who consider themselves superior to him, the Godfool has dipped into a deep well of wisdom, compassion and humanity. His story may inspire others to learn from his simple kindness and faith.

Download or read book The God of Intimacy and Action written by Mary Albert Darling and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2019-03-05 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acclaimed evangelical speaker and writer Tony Campolo teams up with spiritual director and teacher Mary Albert Darling to reveal some gems from the liturgical Christian tradition to Protestants who may be ready for a refreshing change. While steeped in their own evangelical tradition, the authors are not afraid to venture back into Christian history and reclaim practices that have long been considered exclusively Catholic--including Centering Prayer, along with works by Ignatius Loyola and Catherine of Siena--as excellent spiritual tools to help evangelicals grow in faith and love for the poor. A vital theme in Campolo and Darling's work is that spirituality is not solely an individualistic practice but must lead Christians to love and help the oppressed. True Christian mysticism, they posit, is not an either/or proposition. That's because the nexus between evangelism and justice is to be found in Christian mysticism.
