Download or read book A Thorn in the Side written by Bill Knapp and published by Carbon Based Books. This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many incredible stories of courage and bravery in the face of overwhelming odds have been told arising from the backdrop of World War 2. One of the most amazing and heroic is the story of Ian (Johnny) Hopper. As a young boy, he and his British-born parents relocated to the northern French town of Caen. By the time of the Nazi Blitzkrieg, as the German army marched through town, Hopper was determined to live life on his own terms. Along with his wife, Paulette, his goal was to everyday do something to fight back against his oppressors. First in Caen and continuing in Paris, Hopper stole, killed, committed acts of sabotage, and worked in whatever way possible to disrupt the German war machine. Eventually, inevitably Hopper was captured and spent the remaining years of the war, along with a tight-knit group of fellow Brits, being shuttled from one prison camp to the next, finally reaching the end of the line at Dachau. Along the way, he continued to resist the Germans, worked to help those he could, and struggled to survive while still holding on to his humanity.
Download or read book A Thorn in the Flesh written by Caroline J. Addington Hall and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2013-03-22 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the vote to bless same-sex marriages, the Episcopal Church becomes the largest U.S. denomination to officially sanction same-sex relationships. Homosexuality has become a flashpoint at the intersection of religion, family, and politics. A Thorn in the Flesh: How Gay Sexuality is Changing the Episcopal Church tells the story of how homosexuality has been used to further conservative political agendas, both here and abroad. It describes how African and Asian churches have been drawn into a conflict that began in the United States in the Episcopal Church, and raises vital questions of whether people with different understandings of authority and truth can live in harmony. This provocative book is not a history of the movement for gay inclusion, nor a history of the movement for a new, conservative Anglican church in the Americas. Instead, it is a comparison of the conservative and the liberal parts of the church. There are those, such as the Church of England, who have conservative theological orientation and are most likely to oppose fully including gays and lesbians in the church. Hall, also, explores the rapid changes that have happened in Western society in the past fifty years that have led to the acceptance of same-sex marriage and homosexuality. This change has not come easily and even after nearly four decades, gay marriage remains a politically divisive issue in the United States and England.
Download or read book Hallelujah Anyway written by Anne Lamott and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2017-04-04 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Anne Lamott is my Oprah.” —Chicago Tribune The New York Times bestseller from the author of Dusk, Night, Dawn, Almost Everything and Bird by Bird, a powerful exploration of mercy and how we can embrace it. "Mercy is radical kindness," Anne Lamott writes in her enthralling and heartening book, Hallelujah Anyway. It's the permission you give others—and yourself—to forgive a debt, to absolve the unabsolvable, to let go of the judgment and pain that make life so difficult. In Hallelujah Anyway: Rediscovering Mercy Lamott ventures to explore where to find meaning in life. We should begin, she suggests, by "facing a great big mess, especially the great big mess of ourselves." It's up to each of us to recognize the presence and importance of mercy everywhere—"within us and outside us, all around us"—and to use it to forge a deeper understanding of ourselves and more honest connections with each other. While that can be difficult to do, Lamott argues that it's crucial, as "kindness towards others, beginning with myself, buys us a shot at a warm and generous heart, the greatest prize of all." Full of Lamott’s trademark honesty, humor and forthrightness, Hallelujah Anyway is profound and caring, funny and wise—a hopeful book of hands-on spirituality.
