Download or read book The Shortest Day written by Susan Cooper and published by Candlewick Press. This book was released on 2024-11-01 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this seasonal treasure, Newbery Medalist Susan Cooper’s beloved poem heralds the winter solstice, illuminated by Caldecott Honoree Carson Ellis’s strikingly resonant illustrations. So the shortest day came, and the year died . . . As the sun set on the shortest day of the year, early people would gather to prepare for the long night ahead. They built fires and lit candles. They played music, bringing their own light to the darkness, while wondering if the sun would ever rise again. Written for a theatrical production that has become a ritual in itself, Susan Cooper’s poem "The Shortest Day" captures the magic behind the returning of the light, the yearning for traditions that connect us with generations that have gone before — and the hope for peace that we carry into the future. Richly illustrated by Carson Ellis with a universality that spans the centuries, this beautiful book evokes the joy and community found in the ongoing mystery of life when we celebrate light, thankfulness, and festivity at a time of rebirth. Welcome Yule!

Download or read book Faithwalkers written by Frederick Mundle and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2015-05-14 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Faithwalkers comprises a collection of poems addressing those desirous of walking in faith. Long ago, the one who became the father of faith defi ned the Faithwalker and set the bar for all of those who would subsequently lay claim to having faith. A poem about him lies within. Faithwalkers appeals to a wide audience of inter-denominational people of faith who may or may not be at the top of their respective walks or ministries in Christ as yet. For those uncertain in their current walks, the inherent hope is to awaken them. For the verage Faithwalker (find out if you are a person of faith) the hope is to stimulate them to go on to greater heights in their faith. For those of invincible faith, those who walk at the apex of their ministries, the hope is to encourage them in their daily challenges. Any given poem may have the anointing of the Holy Spirit to be the prompter to uplift the Faithwalker in general. For those who do not have a faith, or those who may be weak or burnt out in their faith, the greatest hope of all is to ignite them once again. Finally, for any without faith, Faithwalkers will offer a call to become a Faithwalker.

Download or read book 11 Days in December written by Stanley Weintraub and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2006-11-07 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 11 Days In December, master historian and biographer Stanley Weintraub tells the remarkable story of the Battle of the Bulge as it has never been told before, from frozen foxholes to barn shelters to boxcars packed with wretched prisoners of war. In late December 1944, as the Battle of the Bulge neared its climax, a German loudspeaker challenge was blared across GI lines in the Ardennes: "How would you like to die for Christmas?" In the inhospitable forest straddling Belgium, France, and Luxembourg, only the dense, snow-laden evergreens recalled the season. Most troops hardly knew the calendar day they were trying to live through, or that it was Hitler's last, desperate effort to alter the war's outcome. Yet the final Christmas season of World War II matched desperation with inspiration. When he was offered an ultimatum to surrender the besieged Belgian town of Bastogne, Brigadier General Anthony McAuliffe defied the Germans with the memorable one-word response, "Nuts!" And as General Patton prayed for clear skies to allow vital airborne reinforcements to reach his trapped men, he stood in a medieval chapel in Luxembourg and spoke to God as if to a commanding general: "Sir, whose side are you on?" His prayer was answered. The skies cleared, the tide of battle turned, and Allied victory in World War II was assured. Christmas 1944 proved to be one of the most fateful days in world history. Many men did extraordinary things, and extraordinary things happened to ordinary men. "A clear cold Christmas," Patton told his diary, "lovely weather for killing Germans, which seems a bit queer, seeing whose birthday it is." Peace on earth and good will toward men would have to wait. 11 Days in December is unforgettable.
