Download or read book til I Want No More written by Robin W Pearson and published by . This book was released on 2021-02-02 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If Maxine could put her finger on the moment when her life went into a tailspin, she would point back twenty years to the day her daddy died. She tells herself he's the only person who ever really knew and loved her, and if he hadn't left her behind, her future would've taken a different path. No absentee mother, no stepfather, no rebellious ripping and running during her teenage years. And no JD, who gave her wandering young heart a home, at least for a time. But that's over and done with. All grown-up now, Maxine's heart and ring finger belong to Theodore Charles, the man she'll pledge to love, honor, and obey in front of God and everybody. At least that's what she's telling anybody who will listen. The only folks buying it are the dog and the readers of her column, however. Her best friend and family aren't having it--not even Celeste, the double bass-playing thirteen-year-old the community of Mount Laurel, North Carolina, believes is Maxine's adopted sister. And apparently, neither is the newly returned JD, who seems intent on toppling Maxine's reconstructed life. As her wedding day marches ever closer, Maxine confronts what it means to be really known and loved by examining what's buried in her own heart and exposing truth that has never seen the light of day.

Download or read book In the Land of the Willing written by Kenneth L. Sehested and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2014-10-24 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this follow-up work to his earlier In the Land of the Living: Prayers Personal and Public, Kenneth L. Sehested sustains his evocative poetic imagination and capacity "for finding the right text at the right time," as Walter Brueggemann notes in his foreword. Sehested, an award-winning author and activist as well as a poet, pastor, and sometime stonemason, knows that serious thinking about Jesus is transacted on the road and then translated in liturgy to provoke the kind of praise that rankles the world (as it is) with a foretaste of what it might be. Most of the pieces in this work have been used first in worship in his own Circle of Mercy Congregation. "This book is a great gift," Brueggemann writes, and "it issues in a calling that befits the coming rule of God." Or, as Sehested writes in his meditation on John the Baptizer, "There's no getting right with God. There's only getting soaked."

Download or read book Unrevealed Until Its Season written by James C. Howell and published by Upper Room Books. This book was released on 2021-10-01 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author James Howell believes in the power of song to teach spiritual truths. "Hymns embed faith into the marrow of the soul," he writes. In Unrevealed Until Its Season, Howell takes us on a 40-day journey through well-loved hymns. A meaningful Lenten devotional guide for individuals and small groups, Unrevealed Until Its Season is also a valuable resource and perfect gift for musicians as they prepare for worship, and for ministers as they lead worship.

Howell ponders phrases from old and new hymns, such as "Be Thou My Vision," "Hymn of Promise," "All Creatures of Our God and King," "For Everyone Born," "Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing," "Lift High the Cross," and "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross."
Download or read book The Night Offices written by Phyllis Tickle and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2006-11-13 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Phyllis Tickle's inspirational trilogy The Divine HoursTM was the first major literary and liturgical reworking of the sixth-century Benedictine Rule of fixed-hour prayer--an age-old discipline of saying prayers at certain times of the day. This highly regarded trilogy has become one of America's best-loved and most frequently consulted manuals for observing this ancient form of Christian worship. Now, in The Night Offices, Tickle offers the perfect complement to The Divine HoursTM, bringing together prayers, psalms, hymn texts, religious poetry and other readings not included in the original trilogy, covering the offices for the hours from late evening (Compline) to early morning (Prime). Fans of the Divine HoursTM will recognize Tickle's simple, elegant format, her use of a modern calendar rather than a liturgical one, and the single ribbon in the binding, to track one's progress through the year. As in the trilogy, Tickle makes primary use of the Book of Common Prayer and the writings of the Church Fathers, and she draws all the scriptural readings from the Revised Standard Version. The book includes a set of Matins, Lauds, and Prime specific to each day of the week and varied only by month. Thus, the Monday reading for January would be used every Monday in January, but Monday in February would have new offices for it. The cumulative total, being 84 Matins, 84 Lauds, and 84 Prime (252 offices), fits neatly into a single, nightstand edition, a small, compact book that can be comfortably held in the hand. Easy to use, poetically rich, with a superb sampling of devotional works, The Night Offices will be welcomed by a broad readership, Christian and non-Christian alike.

Download or read book Whispering Silhouette written by Preston Williams II and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2006-05 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whispering Silhouette is life evolving on many levels. It is the life experiences that have taken many down the hidden paths of personal discovery. These paths are a mixture of Williams' interpretation on life, love, and relationships. You will find his interpretations simple, yet sometimes complex-real and at times surreal-emotionally wrenching, as well as, pleasing to the imagination. After reading just a few pieces it becomes quite clear that poetry has become a form of expression and comfort in dealing with his innermost thoughts. Insightfulness, pure elegance, and passion epitomize the poetry of Preston Williams II. With this distinct voice and accessible language, he opens the sensibility to poetry for countless people for whom it might otherwise have remained numb to its influence. In his amazing new collection, the first of many others to come, Williams explores youth, family, life, love, and the passage of time. Preston Williams' poetry is a window through which we see our lives as if for the first time. He uses simple, understandable language, to capture ordinary life-its pleasures, discontents, its moments of sadness and joys. It is considerably difficult not to be charmed by Williams' Whispering Silhouette.
Download or read book In the Land of the Living written by Kenneth L. Sehested and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2014-12-05 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "If required to summarize my deepest conviction in a single sentence, it would be something like this: I believe that God is more taken with the agony of the earth than with the ecstasy of heaven." So begins the preface to In the Land of the Living: Prayers Personal and Public by Kenneth L. Sehested. What follows from that conviction is a collection of prayers and poems, most of which are "inspired by" one or more particular biblical texts and many of which were originally written for use in Sehested's own congregation. Sehested's lifelong work as a justice and peace organizer informs his "poetic eloquence," which, in the words of one reviewer, produces reflections on Scripture that create "a flash of insight, a bolt of courage, a stretch of imagination, a surprising peek into the heart of God" and "cries out against second-hand convictions." In the Land of the Living (Ps 27:13) represents a significant addition to that tradition of spirituality which takes seriously both the pain of the world and the claim of a God at work disarming both the heart and the nations. Indeed, "These prayers are jumper cables from the pew to the world."
