Download or read book Ordinary written by Tony Merida and published by B&H Publishing Group. This book was released on 2015 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ordinary is not a call to be more radical. If anything, it is a call to the contrary. The kingdom of God isn’t coming with light shows, and shock and awe, but with lowly acts of service. Tony Merida wants to push back against sensationalism and “rock star Christianity,” and help people understand that they can make a powerful impact by practicing ordinary Christianity.

Download or read book World Upside Down written by C. Kavin Rowe and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2011-02-10 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No longer can Acts be seen as a simple apologia that articulates Christianity's harmlessness vis-à-vis Rome. Rather, in its attempt to form communities that witness to God's apocalypse, author Kavin Rowe argues that Luke's second volume is a highly charged and theologically sophisticated political document. Luke aims at nothing less than the construction of a new culture - a total pattern of life - that inherently runs counter to the constitutive aspects of Graeco-Roman society.

Download or read book Sticks Stones Upside Down Magic 2 written by Sarah Mlynowski and published by Scholastic Inc.. This book was released on 2016-05-31 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Upside-Down Magic kids are back in another topsy-turvy adventure in the next installment of this New York Times bestselling series, now a Disney Channel Original Movie! Strange things are happening at Dunwiddle Magic School -- and the Upside-Down Magic class is getting blamed! Yes, Marigold did shrink Lacey Clench to the size of a gerbil. But that was an accident. And, yes, most people weren't prepared for Nory to transform into a squippy (that's half squid, half puppy) -- but it's not like Nory meant to mix up paws and tentacles. And while Bax does have the unfortunate magical condition of turning into a stone, he swears he has nothing to do with the rocky magic that's been happening in Dunwiddle's halls. When things get messy, it's easy to point your finger at the kids with the messiest magic. But the Upside-Down Magic students aren't going to let themselves get in trouble. Instead, they're going to find out what's really going on -- and get their school back on track before something really wacky happens.

Download or read book Upside Down in the Middle of Nowhere written by Julie T. Lamana and published by Chronicle Books. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A ten-year-old girl learns the importance of family and community in this tale of love and hope set during the Hurricane Katrina disaster. Armani Curtis can think about only one thing: her tenth birthday. All her friends are coming to her party, her mama is making a big cake, and she has a good feeling about a certain wrapped box. Turning ten is a big deal to Armani. It means she’s older, wiser, more responsible. But when Hurricane Katrina hits the Lower Nines of New Orleans, Armani realizes that being ten means being brave, watching loved ones die, and mustering all her strength to help her family weather the storm. A powerful story of courage and survival, Upside Down in the Middle of Nowhere celebrates the miraculous power of hope and love in the face of the unthinkable. Praise for Upside Down in the Middle of Nowhere “Lamana goes for and achieves realism here, carefully establishing the characters and setting before describing in brutal detail, beyond what is typical in youth literature, the devastating effects of Katrina—loss of multiple family members, reports of attacks in the Superdome, bodies drifting in the current and less-than-ideal shelter conditions. An honest, bleak account of a national tragedy sure to inspire discussion and research.” —Kirkus Reviews “I recommend the book because I think it does a good job of capturing what life was like in New Orleans both before and after Katrina and because Armani’s journey will give readers a lot to think about and discuss. But parents will want to know that it doesn’t flinch when describing the death and destruction that hit New Orleans during that time and be cautious with younger, sensitive readers.” —Cindy Hudson, author of Book by Book

Download or read book Upside Down Verses Right Side Up written by Steven Allen and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2018-08-07 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book written out of an observation of the great need for God's full truth to be proclaimed as never before. The word of God (the Bible), His truth, is not matching the lifestyles of many proclaiming Christians today as we see the end draw near to that promised land. The Lord God has opened my mind up to so many pertinent issues of today: Not in judgment, but in need of checking our short accounts before the Lord God Almighty. God has a schedule, and though Satan does not know the hour or the day, just as we do not; he knows the seasons and is in full attack mode to deceive and destroy. As this world seems to be spinning out of control with everything it seems running at warp speed. God has never been out of control and never will be. We need like never before to fix our eyes on Him and His word of truth if we are to survive in the chaos of today. Record number of young adults are today leaving the church, and it's easy to see why when you look at all the hypocrisy that they are seeing in reference to God's truth. In how we are living our lives as if this world is our hope. And to all the compromise of today. It's important that we don't take observation as judgment, but that we examine our lives unto the full word of God. Not to just live in a form of legalism and rules, but living in the grace of God and living that grace out, not taking advantage of that grace. It should never be about judgment but encouragement to running the race as to win the prize. This is my motivation! "Complacency in living in half-truth is not truth at all."

Download or read book Grenade at My Feet written by Wilfredo Gomez and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2015-04-07 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I was given the gift of writing poetry when my mother passed away on June 27th 2004. As she had her last breath, she passed the gift on to me. My inspirations to start telling my life story through poetry began. My interest in poetry increased once I realized I obtained the same talent as my cousin Miguel Pinero. He was a great playwright, actor and co-founder of the Nuyorican Poets Café; he was the writer of the play Short Eyes and was nominated New York Critics Circle Award, Obie Award and Drama Desk Award. Through my poems, I tell my story of early child abuse, witnessing domestic violence towards my mother, depression leading to drug abuse and my struggle staying away from abusing drugs and alcohol. Also, I express my feelings towards my wife’s life struggle, and supporting the LGBT Community. I wanted to put my story out there and show others that giving up and being defeated by obstacles is not the way to go. Keep fighting and overcome every bad situation being thrown.

Download or read book Nelson s Letters to Lady Hamilton and Related Documents written by Marianne Czisnik and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 537 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This critical edition of Admiral Nelson’s letters to Lady Hamilton is to bring together the important letters of Nelson to Lady Hamilton that have only been published in parts over the last 200 years. Only by bringing the letters of Nelson to Lady Hamilton together is it possible to assess their relationship and to present certain insights into Nelson’s personality that are not revealed in his official correspondence. Thorough research into this side of Nelson’s personality and into the nature of his notorious and unconventional relationship with Lady Hamilton has been hampered in the past by a desire not to look too closely at Nelson’s personal morality. To a considerable extent their relationship was regarded as a challenge to traditional gender roles and it indeed did not conform to stereotypes that are usually attributed to men and women in a heterosexual relationship. Lady Hamilton was so obviously lacking in the subservience and passivity expected from women in that era that authors over the course of time started to exclude her in their accounts of the public sphere by reducing her to a private weakness of Nelson’s, who could be successful at sea, where he was far away from the enthralling influence of a manipulating woman. The letters in this edition testify how Admiral Nelson’s life at sea was not exclusively public nor was Lady Hamilton’s life ashore solely private. It also shows how the two supposedly separate spheres of male and female lives were connected. A fresh approach and a thorough discussion of this important and neglected aspect not only of Nelson’s life, but of gender history, demands this exact and scholarly edition of the primary material, which consists of about 400 letters that Nelson wrote to Lady Hamilton over the course of the last seven years of his life and about a dozen letters of her to him that have survived.
