Download or read book The Churchman s Treasury of Song written by John Henry Burn and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Churchman's Treasury of Song: Gathered From the Christian, Poetry of All Ages I have aimed at producing a book which may be acceptable to Church-people of all shades of Opinion. The longer I live, the more trivial do those party-cries appear, which seem to some to be of such moment that they can scarcely recog nize as brethren those who do not utter their own particular Shibboleth. It is my profound convic tion that the time has come for insisting, above all things, upon the secondary importance of all ques tions which lie outside the scope of the Catholic Creeds. Truth is so many-sided that no man living has sufficient intellectual power to grasp more than a tiny fragment of it; yet its essence, thank god, is of such a nature, that no man who is really in earnest need despair of being able to comprehend all that is necessary for keeping his soul in the state of salvation - that is, in a sound and healthy condition.

Download or read book Divine Inspiration written by Robert Atwan and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1998 with total page 629 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible is by far the leading source of inspiration for Western literature, and in particular, the life of Jesus has drawn the attention of artists and writers throughout the ages. Now, in a volume of astonishing range and originality, Robert Atwan, George Dardess, and Peggy Rosenthal present 280 remarkable poems from world literature focusing on Jesus's life and teaching. Readers accustomed to the predictable inclusions of many anthologies will be surprised and delighted by the diversity of poets represented here, from Aquinas, Dante, de Guevara, Donne, and Sor Juana, to D.H. Lawrence, Gabriela Mistral, Wole Soyinka, Margaret Atwood, Gwendolyn Brooks, Czeslaw Milosz, and Leopold Senghor. Perhaps no other thematically organized anthology could have brought together writers as different as Jorge Luis Borges, Thomas Merton, Alice Walker, Rainer Maria Rilke, and Jack Kerouac. Indeed, simply to turn the page in Divine Inspiration is an adventure in itself. And in terms of form, style, modulations of tone and perspective, the variety here is as unparalleled as it is unpredictable. The editors of Divine Inspiration have done a masterful job of unifying this vast assortment of poems. Organized chronologically around the life of Jesus, the book is divided into nine sections--from Birth and Infancy, through Healings and Miracles, to the Resurrection-- and presents passages from the Gospels followed by the poems they inspired. This structure gives readers the dual pleasures of a strong narrative pull punctuated by moments of lyric intensity. Our familiarity with the life of Jesus is thus enlivened, deepened, and in some cases wholly transformed by the imaginative power of the poems. In the largest section of the book, on the Passion of Jesus, we find an array of poems by Anna Akhmatova, Antonio Machado, Thomas Hardy, Miguel de Unamuno, Charles Baudelaire, R.S. Thomas, Andrew Marvell, Frederico Garcia Lorca, and Denise Levertov, among others. To see the Passion of Jesus refracted through the lenses of such poets is to see it anew, or more vividly than before. And to encounter Chinese, Korean, Nigerian, Arab, Latin American, Scandinavian, Hungarian, and Greek poets alongside English, French, and German is a testimony both to the editors' devoted scholarship and to the power of Jesus's life to inspire great poetry across a spectrum of cultures and eras. An invaluable sourcebook for students, scholars, and general readers alike, Divine Inspiration should prove equally satisfying to readers with a strong interest in religion and to all lovers of poetry.

This book was released on 2011-08-01 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I was born to Alfred and Lena Mandel on July 1, 1928. My parents owned a Stoney Creek Cheese Factory that we lived above. I grew up in the country 3 miles from the small town of Loyal, Wisconsin. I went to a one room country school with 36 others, grades 1-8. My mother and older sister both worked in the factory, while I cared for four siblings younger than me. We were brought up in a loving home; bible studies every week. We were taught to love one another, love God, respect our elders, being kind to one another. We all worked hard and long. My oldest sister and I have had a double wedding. We moved to Marshfield, Wisconsin area when marred, and lived there. I had a family of twelve children, nine sons in a row, then three daughters. In 1959 we built out new home and moved four mile west of Marshfield. The last six of my children were born there. The bible studies continued weekly. My children grew up knowing and loving God. My love for God has been brought out in my poems. God is our rock of salvation; our hope, our strength in every time of need. We only need to go to Him in prayer. I was widowed in January 1983, with three young children still at home. I started writing poems and songs; the first poem published in 1985 with my picture and biography. My second poem is an all religious book of poems. In 1983 I became a domestic engineer providing rhyme time. The Lord told me to write the Bible as a poem, making it easier to read and remember. My second book is being published soon. Our Father God is gracious.Abiding in Jesus, Ruth Mandel Kuehmichel
