Download or read book Full of Grace written by Judith Dupre and published by Random House. This book was released on 2010-11-02 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two thousand years ago, a girl from Nazareth was transformed by a simple “yes” into the Mother of God—the subject of sublime devotion, divisive controversy, and extravagant speculation. A mother and a virgin, a saint and a peasant, a woman both tragic and triumphant, Mary has held sway over the human imagination for centuries. Yet she has never felt as relevant to our everyday lives as she does today. In Full of Grace, Judith Dupré, the bestselling author of Churches, offers an intimate exploration of this beloved figure, now and through the ages. In a series of poignant stories and essays, Dupré examines Mary’s artistic, cultural, and historical influence, and at the same time shows how Mary’s human journey of love, compassion, grief, and humble strength inextricably connects her to our modern lives. Accompanied by a breathtaking visual feast ranging from classic Renaissance portraits to unexpected contemporary images, Dupré’s text offers insights into the Virgin Mary as a mother and as a religious icon. Visits to the great shrines of Marian pilgrimage—Lourdes, Medjugorje, Fatima, and the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe—underscore the author’s journey to find Mary’s meaning in her own life. In an essay about Mary in the Qur’an, we see how Mary, far from being an exclusively Catholic figure, emerges as one of the central women in Islam. Another piece details the author’s travels in the Holy Land, a landscape wracked by religious strife but still overflowing with the spirit of generosity that Mary embodies. From Sudanese refugee camps to the painful reminders of Auschwitz, from the struggle of divorce to the challenges of raising a child with autism, we see how Mary’s tenderness, bravery, and grace infuse the story of every mother, young and old. For men and women seeking to better understand their own life journey, this book looks at the many miracles, large and small, along the way. From the Hardcover edition.

Book excerpt: Catherine Parr, also known as Katryn, is most well-known as the last and sixth wife of King Henry VIII — a powerful monarch and an infamous husband. However, Katryn's role as queen, though aglow with razzle dazzle, is but a brief chapter of her absorbing story. Most noble men and women of the sixteenth century married to unite families, build fortunes, produce heirs, and to maintain or secure power. Katryn was no exception. Independent, well-educated, and eager to experience life and take risks, she nevertheless agreed to marry after the death of her father and found herself the wife of a much older man when she was barely sixteen. Not one to shirk responsibility, she fulfilled her duties faithfully. Households flourished under her direction and she raised her numerous step-children with love and genuine concern for their welfare. However, beneath her dutiful exterior lurked a passionate woman who met and fell in love with a man she was not destined to marry until she had been widowed three times. Thomas Seymour — a forceful and reckless man who was the brother of Jane Seymour, third wife to King Henry VIII — was her match in all ways and their unpredictable and tempestuous relationship is the real subject of this story. Jan Westcott is the daughter of a renowned classical historian and subsequently became an enthusiastic and insightful student of history. With spell-binding speculation she deftly expands on the facts as we know them to bring to life the trials and frustrations, disappointments and triumphs of Katryn Parr and all the lords and ladies of King Henry's realm.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Vivid and amusing...Magically funny."-Ursula K. LeGuin, Los Angeles Times An enchanting collection of stories, set in the same world, from the author of the award-winning, internationally bestselling Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell. Following the international bestseller Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, Susanna Clarke returns with an enchanting collection of stories brimming with all the ingredients of good fairy tales: petulant princesses, vengeful owls, ladies who pass their time in embroidering terrible fates, endless paths in deep, dark woods, and houses that never appear the same way twice. The heroines and heroes who must grapple with these problems include the Duke of Wellington, a conceited Regency clergyman, an eighteenth-century Jewish doctor, and Mary Queen of Scots, as well as two characters from Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell; Strange himself and the Raven King. The Ladies of Grace Adieu and Other Stories introduces readers to a world where charm is always tempered by eerieness, and picaresque comedy is always darkened by the disturbing shadow of Faerie.
