Download or read book My Dearest Jonah written by Matthew Crow and published by Legend Press Ltd. This book was released on 2012-04-01 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nominated for the Dylan Thomas Prize, a novel of long-distance love. “There is an assured precision to Crow’s observations that cannot be learned” (Jonathan Trigell, award-winning author of Boy A). “Like you I’ve been feeling forlorn of late. I don’t know how long you have to be somewhere before it begins to feel normal, before you start to feel as though you belong . . . And so all I have is you. Your letters and the thought that somewhere, something good exists in my life. For now that seems enough to get by on.” Introduced via a pen-pal scheme, Verity and Jonah write their lives, hopes and dreams to one another without ever having met. Verity is a fragile beauty. When a dangerous sequence of events is set in motion, she tries to explain to Jonah what led her to unravel so spectacularly. Jonah has been released after years of imprisonment and embarks upon the quiet life he’s always wanted. But then a dark reminder shatters his world, keen to make history repeat itself. Offering the sole strand of stability in two progressively elaborate lives, they develop a deep and delicate love, a love that becomes clouded and threatened by increasingly dark forces.

It will improve your life.”—Matt Haig, international bestselling author “A moving and wonderfully witty tale . . . This excellent book is worth anyone’s time.”—Daily Telegraph

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the narratives of the Bible which have stood in the paths of the old mode of literal interpretation the story of Jonah has proved to be one of the worst stumbling blocks. Nowhere have the rationalistic school, the symbolical, the allegorical, the historical-and many others besides-better succeeded in maintaining the impossibility of adhering to the letter of the story; but nowhere also have they made a poorer show of their own respective latch-keys. As Dean Stanley said, at the funeral of Sir Charles Lyell in Westminster: "There were and are two modes of reconciliation which have each totally and deservedly failed: the one attempts to wrest the words of the Bible from their real meaning and force them to speak the language of science; the other attempts to falsify science in order to meet the supposed requirements of the Bible." Bro. Simpson's remarkable essay is not one more attempt to put new wine into old bottles, but simply to seek how the Jonah legend has originated and grown. To that effect, the author resorts to the comparative method, which, he says, throws the older process of investigation into the shade, "as idle or vague speculation." In the very prayer which Jonah utters from the whale's belly, the Prophet represents himself as speaking "from the womb of Sheol" and even adds: "I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me forever." Such language would hardly apply to a fish. In later iconography, Hell is often represented by the head of a sea-monster with the jaws open. The Bible contains more than one story, which according to Bro. Simpson, has its origin in some initiatory legend of the same kind; for instance, the translation of Enoch, whose name means " the Initiate," and whom our author compares to the culture-hero of the Chaldæans, the Fish-God Oannes - also the translation of Elijah, which so closely resembles that of Enoch. Elijah, among other feats, recalls to life a Widow's son, by stretching himself three times on the body and crying to the Lord. Here again Bro. Simpson is inclined to suppose some form of ritual rather than pretended miracles. According to a Mahomedan tradition, referred to in Mirkhond, the Widow's son was Junas or Jonah, "the Companion of the Fish." - Ars Quatuor Coronatorum [1900]

Download or read book Legends of the Bible written by Louis Ginzberg and published by Robson Books Limited. This book was released on 2001 with total page 645 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bible Legends explores the rich crop of legends that occur in the Old Testament, many of which are the key to the richest literary and artistic traditions of the western world. Real people emerge from these familiar (and not so familiar) stories: Adam's ascent into Heaven in a chariot; Abraham's trial by fire; Jonah's adventure in the whale; Solomon as a beggar; the wooing of Rebekah; the life of Moses; David and Goliath; Cain and Abel. In this fascinating book, Louis Ginzberg presents the Bible's spiritual values in new colours and dimensions. This is storytelling with a grain of salt and a lot of wit. These tales sprang from the ancient oral tradition and changed the daily thoughts and deeds of a hundred generations; here, their power and truth is examined

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Los Angeles Times Best Non-Fiction Book of 2007 A Boston Globe Best Non-Fiction Book of 2007 Amazon.com Editors pick as one of the 10 best history books of 2007 Winner of the 2007 John Lyman Award for U. S. Maritime History, given by the North American Society for Oceanic History "The best history of American whaling to come along in a generation." —Nathaniel Philbrick The epic history of the "iron men in wooden boats" who built an industrial empire through the pursuit of whales. "To produce a mighty book, you must choose a mighty theme," Herman Melville proclaimed, and this absorbing history demonstrates that few things can capture the sheer danger and desperation of men on the deep sea as dramatically as whaling. Eric Jay Dolin begins his vivid narrative with Captain John Smith's botched whaling expedition to the New World in 1614. He then chronicles the rise of a burgeoning industry—from its brutal struggles during the Revolutionary period to its golden age in the mid-1800s when a fleet of more than 700 ships hunted the seas and American whale oil lit the world, to its decline as the twentieth century dawned. This sweeping social and economic history provides rich and often fantastic accounts of the men themselves, who mutinied, murdered, rioted, deserted, drank, scrimshawed, and recorded their experiences in journals and memoirs. Containing a wealth of naturalistic detail on whales, Leviathan is the most original and stirring history of American whaling in many decades.

Download or read book The Judgment of Jonah written by Jacques Ellul and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2011-06-02 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is not a commentary in the traditional sense. One might call it an existential commentary. An important aim of the author is to bring out the relevance of the story, of the person, mission, and situation of Jonah, to Christians in our own time. Above all, this is a theological, or --more specifically -- a christological commentary. The author's chief aim is to relate the book, not to Christians, but to Christ. Ellul thinks Christ is the center of all Scripture, and he also takes seriously the specific reference which Christ makes to the sign of Jonah. If this reading is correct, and the Bible is indeed a unity, the exposition of Ellul, though not developed in detail, has a distinctive theological contribution to make. Those who want acute theological insight, and are not afraid of plain, hard-hitting application, will read this vivid study with relish and profit. -- From the Preface by G. W. Bromiley

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Jonah Legend: A Suggestion of Interpretation IF thucydides did really write these words which are attributed to him, he must have been far in advance of his time. We live now in a critical age, and all history, traditional or otherwise, is being tried by the test which the Old historian indicated as being necessary. Still, it has taken a long time to reach this mental condition; and even yet it may be assumed that many will reject this method when applied to the story Of Jonah. Biblical criticism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Story of Jonah By: Elaine Medeiros Jonah was a believer in the Lord God and knew Him to be loving, kind and compassionate. When God spoke to Jonah about going to Nineveh to warn the people of His impending punishment for their evil deeds, Jonah feared they would not listen to him, that they would imprison or even kill him. He tried to run away from the presence of the Lord and paid the fare to travel far away by ship. God caused a great storm and Jonah, being the cause of the storm, is thrown overboard. He is swallowed by a great fish and clings to nodules in the stomach of the fish to keep from drowning. He goes to the land of the dead where he prays and is sorry for his disobedience. The great fish leaps high in the air and beaches itself on the shore of Nineveh. Jonah is spewed out of the great fish’s mouth. He has been bleached white by the acid in the fish’s stomach.
