Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our Lord has a tender heart for widows! Jesus demonstrated His care for a destitute widow when He halted a funeral procession to raise her dead son. (Luke 7:11-17) "When the Lord saw her, He felt compassion for her." (Vs. 13a) Similar accounts of God's care for widows appear throughout Scripture. In the pages of The Widow's Song, a collection of devotionals, widows will find encouragement from the author's personal journey of grief and healing, the journeys of ten other widows, and stories of Biblical widows. Frances Rollins King Abrams challenges widows to find strength and healing in the God who sees and loves them. She encourages widows to allow Him to use their heartbreak as a vehicle for ministry. The Widow's Song includes lyrics from hymns, anthems, and poems to inspire widows that God can turn "their mourning into gladness" and give them "comfort and joy instead of sorrow," as He promised His people Israel in Isaiah 31:13 (NIV). Abrams hopes that widows who read The Widow's Song will discover God's tender, loving heart and share their discovery with others in various stages of their journeys. She trusts that God will use these devotionals to put a new song in every reader's heart. The hardcover and softcover editions are available as a gift for widows or for anyone who wants to understand and walk alongside a widow through her journey. The Kindle eBook contains a compatible design for your e-reading devices.

Book excerpt: From the acclaimed author of Daughters and Brown Girl, Brownstones comes a “work of exceptional wisdom, maturity, and generosity, one in which the palpable humanity of its characters transcends any considerations of race or sex”(Washington Post Book World). Avey Johnson—a black, middle-aged, middle-class widow given to hats, gloves, and pearls—has long since put behind her the Harlem of her childhood. Then on a cruise to the Caribbean with two friends, inspired by a troubling dream, she senses her life beginning to unravel—and in a panic packs her bag in the middle of the night and abandons her friends at the next port of call. The unexpected and beautiful adventure that follows provides Avey with the links to the culture and history she has so long disavowed. “Astonishingly moving.”—Anne Tyler, The New York Times Book Review

Ruth: The foreign widow who sneaks onto the nighttime threshing floor to find survival for herself and her devastated mother-in-law. Esther: The Jewish orphan-turned-queen who turns Persian banqueting on its head in an effort to defend her people. Song of Songs: The proud and alluring lover who claims her sexuality as her own and joyfully shares it with her beloved. Judith: The pious and beautiful widow who lets the enemy commander's appetite become his downfall in order to save her besieged city. This volume is an opportunity to engage these women's suspense-filled stories, which have sustained faith communities since ancient times.
Download or read book Ukrainian Epic and Historical Song written by Natalie Kononenko and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2019-03-06 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ukrainian epic, or dumy, were first recorded from blind mendicant minstrels in the nineteenth century, yet they reflect events dating back to as early as the 1300s. Ukrainian Epic and Historical Song provides new translations in contemporary English of these songs of family strife, war, and human dignity. It also explains the historical events celebrated in epic and other historical songs: fierce battles, rebellion against tyranny, the struggles of captivity, the joys of escape from slavery. Natalie Kononenko's expert translation and analysis of Ukrainian epics provides a sweeping social history of folklore that is vital to Ukrainian identity. A translation of at least one variant of every known epic is included. Whereas earlier trends in folklore scholarship emphasized genre purity and compartmentalization, Kononenko critically examines the events about which songs were sung. Her emphasis on the lives of ordinary people rather than on leaders reshapes our understanding of how epics were composed and performed. Kononenko's ground-breaking analysis also illuminates Ukrainian self-understanding and explains how songs preserve and perpetuate historical memory. Scholars interested in epic song, history, and general folklore will benefit from this work. Members of the Ukrainian diaspora will find new appreciation of Ukrainian folklore.

Download or read book The Titanic and the City of Widows It Left Behind written by Julie Cook and published by Pen and Sword History. This book was released on 2020-03-30 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Harrowing and emotional . . . A tribute to the enduring power of family. The story of the disaster’s widows uplifts and devastates in equal measure.” —Gareth Russell, author of The Ship of Dreams When the Titanic foundered in April 1912, the world’s focus was on the tragedy of the passengers who lost their lives. Ever since, in films, dramatizations, adaptations and books, the focus has mostly continued to be on the ones who died. The Titanic and the City of Widows It Left Behind focuses on another group of people—the widows and children of the crew who perished on board. Author Julie Cook’s great-grandfather was a stoker who died on the Titanic. Her great-grandmother had to raise five children with no breadwinner. This book focuses on Emily and the widows like her who had to fight for survival through great hardship, while still grieving for the men they loved who’d died on the ship. Using original archive sources and with accounts from descendants of crew who also lost their lives, the book asks how these women survived through abject poverty and grief—and why their voices have been silent for so long. “The sinking of the Titanic has produced a wealth of books, articles, films and TV documentaries, all of which have given very little thought to the dependents and friends of those who lost their lives in this ocean tragedy. A moving and involving story that corrects this neglect, told by a descendant of a Titanic widow . . . How most of them survived the grief and grinding hardship is a story worth the telling, as are the stories of those who did not survive the crushing pressures.” —Firetrench

Download or read book Sweet Song of Sharon written by Charles Alan Long and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2020-10-21 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SWEET SONG OF SHARON WAS OF HER GLORY BUT MUCH MORE Sharon and Charles were born, educated, and in love in fundamentalist Kansas, both attending a conservative protestant church. Tragedy and poverty forced her marriage to another. It eventually failed. The supernatural event seemed to bring the long separated pair back to an impossible love. Odds against were their ages and health, finding each other after 65 years of separate adult lives, and so many years of unrequited love. Reunited, the love ecstasy was so incredible for two people bonded hopelessly for many years, that too was a miracle. It defied age, poor health, her family, a suicidal dying woman, a thousand miles distance between our homes. There is much more arising from this miracle. The poet and Sharon considered it love from heaven. After sharing bliss and happiness, the poet wrote a poem of Sharon’s momentous, magnificent song of love. After becoming a naturalist with math background and great giants teaching sciences, some observed “miracles” could not be explained. Since college he was also a transcendentalist, and the suddenly revealed supernatural events from Quantum Physics made God and Jesus make sense. But many fundamentalists believe every word in the Bible. Genesis was written by Moses with two odd myths on creation. A preacher who said that this 12 billion years old universe was only 6000 years. Some accept Egyptian science long before science was invented. Joyously I found an obscure scripture, the truth about Moses from a dying martyr “full of the holy spirit”, face shining like an angel. “Moses was set out outside to die and then raised by the Pharaoh’s princess. All his learnings were Egyptian wisdom” for a full 40 years. He was 80 before God began to give him His holy word. Now that Science is amenable on the supernatural, God may be tired with an evil war against science based on Egyptian myths. Perhaps, thanks to God, we can trust one another. Revelation is logical. And Sharon’s song of love is holiness and love, but was not only for the poet. But love has its glory.
