Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Walks About Zion In accordance with suggestions of several friends, the following addresses have been prepared for the press as a contribution to family Sabbath readings, and with a view to prayer meetings held in the absence of stated ministers. In this age of growing Christian activities, it often devolves on many besides ministers of the Gospel to preside at prayer meetings. Some think it well to supplement remarks of their own with readings from different authors; but difficulty is often felt in making suitable selection. Excellent printed sermons can easily be obtained; but most of them are far too long for such meetings, and to read a part or parts thereof is a plan that has its disadvantages. Such are some of the considerations that have had to do with the preparation of the following addresses. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Walks About Zion written by Isaac Morgan Atwood and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-18 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Walks About Zion: Ten Lectures The Lectures here presented to the public were prepared in the regular course of the Author's ministry, - (1) to afford his people the opportunity to look more at large over the wide field of religious administration and effort; and (2) to give his hearers their pastor's point of view in taking such a survey. The reasons which have influenced to publish the discourses are precisely those which led to their preparation originally; namely, to present the facts and the considerations essential to a just opinion of the value of the different denominations of Christians, and to offer to those who may be interested to know it, or possibly benefited by knowing it, the view which the Author takes of a common but by no means unimportant subject of meditation. It is scarcely needful to add that the Lectures make no pretensions to any merits, historical or literary, beyond the very humble ones named above.

Download or read book The Order of Zion Classic Reprint written by John Zahnd and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-21 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Order of Zion In giving this book to the public I do so with no apology on my part. I feel that every individual has a right to ex press his own opinions and convictions and also feel that we owe it to each other to express our opinions publicly as well as in private for the benefit and the good that we can do to each other. I feel that there is a necessity for the honest hearted to combine in establishing an order of affairs in such a way that justice might be done to everyone. In the Order of Zion I believe it is the only possible chance to bring about the conditions which are longed and sought for by so many of God's people and while we see the great trend that is being made among the nations of the earth for common ownership of all things as far as public utilities are concerned, it is no new idea upon my part, but I am only seeking to help in the establishing of that order of things that will make us not only better qualified as citi zens of a nation, but that we might come nearer to the pur pose of Christ, our Lord, and prepare ourselves to the end when we may look for his return to claim his own. I trust that all those who may be interested, will seek to come together in unity of purpose, of action, and in this we will establish the Order of Zion.

Download or read book Six Walks in the Fictional Woods written by Umberto Eco and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1998-07-21 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Six Walks in the Fictional Woods Umberto Eco shares with us his Secret Life as a reader—his love for MAD magazine, for Scarlett O'Hara, for the nineteenth-century French novelist Nerval's Sylvie, for Little Red Riding Hood, Agatha Christie, Agent 007 and all his ladies. We see, hear, and feel Umberto Eco, the passionate reader who has gotten lost over and over again in the woods, loved it, and come back to tell the tale, The Tale of Tales. Eco tells us how fiction works, and he also tells us why we love fiction so much. This is no deconstructionist ripping the veil off the Wizard of Oz to reveal his paltry tricks, but the Wizard of Art himself inviting us to join him up at his level, the Sorcerer inviting us to become his apprentice.
Download or read book If Beale Street Could Talk Movie Tie In written by James Baldwin and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2018-10-30 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A stunning love story about a young Black woman whose life is torn apart when her lover is wrongly accused of a crime—"a moving, painful story, so vividly human and so obviously based on reality that it strikes us as timeless" (The New York Times Book Review). "One of the best books Baldwin has ever written—perhaps the best of all." —The Philadelphia Inquirer Told through the eyes of Tish, a nineteen-year-old girl, in love with Fonny, a young sculptor who is the father of her child, Baldwin’s story mixes the sweet and the sad. Tish and Fonny have pledged to get married, but Fonny is falsely accused of a terrible crime and imprisoned. Their families set out to clear his name, and as they face an uncertain future, the young lovers experience a kaleidoscope of emotions—affection, despair, and hope. In a love story that evokes the blues, where passion and sadness are inevitably intertwined, Baldwin has created two characters so alive and profoundly realized that they are unforgettably ingrained in the American psyche.

Download or read book The Penguin Book of the Prose Poem written by Jeremy Noel-Tod and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2018-11-01 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last decades have seen an explosion of the prose poem. More and more writers are turning to this peculiarly rich and flexible form; it defines Claudia Rankine's Citizen, one of the most talked-about books of recent years, and many others, such as Sarah Howe's Loop of Jade and Vahni Capildeo's Measures of Expatriation, make extensive use of it. Yet this fertile mode which in its time has drawn the likes of Charles Baudelaire, Oscar Wilde, T. S. Eliot, Gertrude Stein and Seamus Heaney remains, for many contemporary readers, something of a mystery. The history of the prose poem is a long and fascinating one. Here, Jeremy Noel-Tod reconstructs it for us by selecting the essential pieces of writing - by turns luminous, brooding, lamentatory and comic - which have defined and developed the form at each stage, from its beginnings in 19th-century France, through the 20th-century traditions of Britain and America and beyond the English language, to the great wealth of material written internationally since 2000. Comprehensively told, it yields one of the most original and genre-changing anthologies to be published for some years, and offers readers the chance to discover a diverse range of new poets and new kinds of poem, while also meeting famous names in an unfamiliar guise.

Book excerpt: A NATIONAL JEWISH BOOK AWARD FINALIST A Recommended Book From: The New York Times * Good Morning America * Entertainment Weekly * Electric Literature * The New York Post * Alma * The Millions * Book Riot A commanding debut and a poignant coming-of-age story about a devout Jewish high school student whose plunge into the secularized world threatens everything he knows of himself Ari Eden’s life has always been governed by strict rules. In ultra-Orthodox Brooklyn, his days are dedicated to intense study and religious rituals, and adolescence feels profoundly lonely. So when his family announces that they are moving to a glitzy Miami suburb, Ari seizes his unexpected chance for reinvention. Enrolling in an opulent Jewish academy, Ari is stunned by his peers’ dizzying wealth, ambition, and shameless pursuit of life’s pleasures. When the academy’s golden boy, Noah, takes Ari under his wing, Ari finds himself entangled in the school’s most exclusive and wayward group. These friends are magnetic and defiant—especially Evan, the brooding genius of the bunch, still living in the shadow of his mother’s death. Influenced by their charismatic rabbi, the group begins testing their religion in unconventional ways. Soon Ari and his friends are pushing moral boundaries and careening toward a perilous future—one in which the traditions of their faith are repurposed to mysterious, tragic ends. Mesmerizing and playful, heartrending and darkly romantic, The Orchard probes the conflicting forces that determine who we become: the heady relationships of youth, the allure of greatness, the doctrines we inherit, and our concealed desires.
Download or read book The Black Jacobins written by C.L.R. James and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2023-08-22 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A powerful and impassioned historical account of the largest successful revolt by enslaved people in history: the Haitian Revolution of 1791–1803 “One of the seminal texts about the history of slavery and abolition.... Provocative and empowering.” —The New York Times Book Review The Black Jacobins, by Trinidadian historian C. L. R. James, was the first major analysis of the uprising that began in the wake of the storming of the Bastille in France and became the model for liberation movements from Africa to Cuba. It is the story of the French colony of San Domingo, a place where the brutality of plantation owners toward enslaved people was horrifyingly severe. And it is the story of a charismatic and barely literate enslaved person named Toussaint L’Ouverture, who successfully led the Black people of San Domingo against successive invasions by overwhelming French, Spanish, and English forces—and in the process helped form the first independent post-colonial nation in the Caribbean. With a new introduction (2023) by Professor David Scott.
