Download or read book The Tie That Binds written by Jon Carleton and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2004-08 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Tie That Binds is a compilation of poems written over the lifetime of a Congregationalist minister. The poet and preacher, Richard Carleton, tells us about his faith from day to day, talking about love, philosophy, children, family, and his memories. Within these personal reflections, he speaks of the mystery and eloquence of God. He creates extraordinary pictures of God from the ordinary events in our lives. This is the key! Richard Carleton lets us know that God is central to his thinking and feeling and living. It is both a refuge for him and an exhortation for the rest of us. If you were to accept--just for the time it takes to read these verses--that God is a real part of our lives, you might see your acceptance of our Creator and Redeemer assume a new and expanded reality: God as the underlying force! These poems let you see a man of deep faith, and at the same time, ask yourself about your own faith.

Download or read book The Pastor as Minor Poet written by M. Craig Barnes and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2008-12-30 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today s pastors often expected to be multitasking marvels who can make their churches "successful" are understandably confused about their role. Craig Barnes contends that the true calling of a pastor is to assist others in becoming fully alive in Christ to be a "minor poet." The pastor absorbs the wisdom of major poets the biblical poets as well as the church s theological poets and distills its essence for parishioners. / The Pastor as Minor Poet calls pastors to continually search for a deeper, truer understanding of what they see both in the text of Scripture and in the text of their parishioners' lives. Discerning the subtexts beneath these texts reveals the core truths that allow pastors to preach the heart of the Word and to understand the hearts of the people to whom they minister. Written with a seasoned pastor s depth of understanding and a poet's sensibility and sensitivity, this book will minister to and inspire pastors everywhere.
Download or read book Proverbs from the Poet Preacher written by Ralph Vile and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2008-12 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just as the biblical book of Proverbs reveals the wisdom of an ancient king of Israel who dedicated himself to Jehovah in his youth, so too this book presents the wit and wisdom of a modern school teacher and church leader who committed himself to Christ at the age of seven. Compiled, arranged, and edited by Ralph Vile's eldest son, John, this book contains some 2,500 of Ralph's aphorisms from a fifty-year period, arranged under more than 200 topics covering the range of practical and spiritual living. A unique mix of universal truths and deeply held personal opinions from a man with a good sense of humor who loves both rhymes and paradoxical word plays, this book will amuse, challenge, and inspire general readers as it provides insights, illustrations, and reflections for pastors and speakers. RALPH VILE has spent most of his life in Luray, Virginia in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley. Born in Colonial Beach, Virginia and committing his life to God at the age of seven, Ralph served in the U.S. Navy and attended college where he met his wife Joanna. After brief service on the mission field in Costa Rica, the couple returned with their growing family to Virginia. There they began teaching in public schools as they raised five children and two grandchildren; furthered their educations; and served God through music, teaching, and in other leadership capacities at the Mt. Carmel Regular Baptist Church. Ralph has been writing poems, some of which have been collected in Xulon's We Are His Poets (the first volume of Valley Verses) and Let the Bells Ring Out on Christmas Morning, and proverbs for more than fifty years.
Download or read book Finally Comes the Poet written by Walter Brueggemann and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 1989-01-01 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Christian gospel, says Brueggemann, is too easily preached and heard. Too often technical reason and excessive religious certitude reduce the gospel to coercive, debilitating pietisms that mask the text's meaning and freeze the hearers heart. With skill and imagination, Brueggemann demonstrates how the preacher can engage in daring speech?differently voiced and therefore differently heard. This speech, as suggested by the Bible itself, is "poetic" speech, enabling the preacher to forge communion in the midst of alienation, bring healing out of guilt, and empower the hearer for "missional imagination." As an alternative to theological/homiletical discourse that is moralistic, pietistic or scholastic, Brueggemann proposes preaching that is artistic, poetic, and dramatic. The basis for the 1989 Lyman Beecher Lectures at Yale Divinity School, Finally Comes the Poet is a unique and transforming guide for powerful preaching.

Download or read book Gabriele d Annunzio written by Lucy Hughes-Hallett and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2013-08-20 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Godfather to Mussolini, national hero of Italy and the WWI irredentist movement, literary icon of Joyce and Pound, lover of actress Eleonora Duse: here is Lucy Hughes-Hallett’s extraordinary biography of Gabriele d’Annunzio, poet, bon vivant, harbinger of Italian fascism. Gabriele d’Annunzio was Italy’s premier poet at a time when poetry mattered enough to trigger riots. A brilliant self-publicist in the first age of mass media, he used his fame to sell his work, seduce women, and promote his extreme nationalism. In 1915 d’Annunzio’s incendiary oratory helped drive Italy to enter the First World War, in which he achieved heroic status as an aviator. In 1919 he led a troop of mutineers into the Croatian port of Fiume and there a delinquent city-state. Futurists, anarchists, communists, and proto-fascists descended on the city. So did literati and thrill seekers, drug dealers, and prostitutes. After fifteen months an Italian gunship brought the regime to an end, but the adventure had its sequel: three years later, the fascists marched on Rome, belting out anthems they’d learned in Fiume, as Mussolini consciously modeled himself after the great poet. At once an aesthete and a militarist, d’Annunzio wrote with equal enthusiasm about Fortuny gowns and torpedoes, and enjoyed making love on beds strewn with rose petals as much as risking death as an aviator. Lucy Hughes-Hallett’s stunning biography vividly re-creates his flamboyant life and dramatic times, tracing the early twentieth century’s trajectory from Romantic idealism to world war and fascist aggression.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection spanning over thirty years. Poems both religious and secular with a little something for everyone. Poems I hope will entertain and inspire with reflection, thought-provoking, and humor as well. My poems are my children, some unruly, and some are my pride and joy. Some were hard in birthing, and some I couldn't write down fast enough. And some even seem to have written themselves. If the eyes are the windows to the soul, then poetry is the transcript. Such a gift to one so unworthy. I'm the luckiest man in the world.Bless you all,Bob
