Download or read book To Everything There is a Season written by Allan M. Winkler and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2009-05-21 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author or coauthor of such legendary songs as "If I Had a Hammer," "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?" and "Turn, Turn, Turn," Pete Seeger is the most influential folk singer in the history of the United States. In "To Everything There Is a Season": Pete Seeger and the Power of Song, Allan Winkler describes how Seeger applied his musical talents to improve conditions for less fortunate people everywhere. This book uses Seeger's long life and wonderful songs to reflect on the important role folk music played in various protest movements of the twentieth century. A tireless supporter of union organization in the 1930s and 1940s, Seeger joined the Communist Party, performing his songs with banjo and guitar accompaniment to promote worker solidarity. In the 1950s, he found himself under attack during the Red Scare for his radical past. In the 1960s, he became the minstrel of the civil rights movement, focusing its energy with songs that inspired protestors and challenged the nation's patterns of racial discrimination. Toward the end of the decade, he turned his musical talents to resisting the war in Vietnam, and again drew fire from those who attacked his dissent as treason. Finally, in the 1970s, he lent his voice to the growing environmental movement by leading the drive to clean up the Hudson River. The book seeks to answer such fundamental questions as: What was the source of Seeger's appeal? How did he capture the attention and affection of people around the world? And why is song such a powerful medium? Richly researched and crisply written, "To Everything There Is a Season": Pete Seeger and the Power of Song is an ideal supplement for U.S. history survey courses, as well as twentieth-century U.S. history and history of American folk music courses.

Download or read book To Everything a Season written by Sherri Schaeffer and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-10-25 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One June night, on a dark country road, two worlds-one of privilege and wealth, one modest and Plain-collide, and tragedy forces two families together, ultimately leading both to question the lives they lead. Taylor Loden, heir-apparent to her father's media empire, has never examined her breakneck work pace or her empty life until her world becomes entwined with the Old Order Amish Yoder family of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Taylor has zero desire to muck a barn or strip tobacco, yet feels compelled, for reasons she's not prone to analyze, to temporarily trade her technology-fueled business life in Philadelphia for country life without electricity on the Yoder farm. While she struggles to adapt to Amish life, she bonds with the family, especially with two of the Yoder siblings: Jacob and Becca. Jacob, the eldest son, refuses to baptize and join the church, and according to his frustrated father, lacks direction. He not only faces a grave physical challenge resulting from his actions that June night, but also harbors a secret that threatens to upend his family and community. Becca is 16, entering her rumspringa, and free to explore the modern world. When Taylor returns to her Philadelphia penthouse, Becca accompanies her for the summer and for the first time is exposed to city life-its museums, music, restaurants, fashion, even religious faiths different from her own. Taylor mentors Becca's city fling and helps Jacob conceal his secret, actions that jeopardize her relationship with the Yoder family and her father. Ultimately, all three must answer for themselves: Are we more than what we do for a living or where we're born? And if so, what price, if any, is too steep to walk away from family expectations? A clash of cultures and family secrets change two families' lives forever.
Download or read book To Everything a Season written by Bonnie Bowman Thurston and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2004-03-26 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fruit of her determined prayer for a way to give her spirit time to catch up, this pithy reflection on the qualities of time will introduce highly respected biblical scholar, professor, pastor, widow, friend, and author Bonnie Thurston to a wider audience - everyone who is time-pressed and deadline pressured. The news is good: Time is the creation of a generous God who always provides not only the bare essentials, but usually a feast. As the writer of Ecclesiastes mused: For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven. It is with her trust in this abundance that Thurston explores the mystery of time and the rediscovery of the Judeo-Christian understanding of time as God's sacred and bountiful gift. She looks at time from both a historical and a theological perspective; she studies seasons as measured by the liturgical cycle, the monastic day, the jubilee year, and the Sabbath; and she ponders the meaning of time participles - familiar phrases such as finding time, making time, spending time, and marking time. With her encouragement, the reader will discover that there is enough time - if we redeem the time by reclaiming the Sabbath, the time built into the rhythm of creation by God for rest and re-creation. 'To Everything a Season' offers reflection exercises to help us understand both how we think about and how we use time, as well as suggestions for ways of making Sabbath in the midst of our own crowded lives. The result is an invitation and a recipe for living in the present moment, in God's eternal Now.
