Download or read book The Lost Meaning of the Seventh Day written by Sigve Tonstad and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 575 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Lost Meaning of the Seventh Day, Sigve K. Tonstad recovers the profound and foundational understanding of God that can be experienced in the seventh day. He shows that Scripture has consistently asserted that the Sabbath of Creation is the Sabbath of the whole story of how God makes right what has gone wrong in the world. Tonstad argues that the seventh day is the symbol of God¿s faithfulness precisely when God¿s presence seems to be in doubt. He demonstrates how God, through the seventh day, seeks the benefit of all creation. Inevitably, this leads to an investigation of how this universal symbol became obscured. This sweeping work of biblical theology and historical analysis traces the seventh day as it is woven throughout Scripture and the history of Christianity. Its twenty-seven chapters consider, among other things, the relationship of the seventh day to freedom, to social conscience, to the ¿greatest commandment,¿ and to the enigmatic ¿rest that remains.¿ Tonstad engages the move away from the seventh day in early Christian history, the mindset in medieval Christianity, and the sobering long-term implications leading all the way to the Holocaust and the ecological crises in our time. The Lost Meaning of the Seventh Day will engage, illuminate, provoke, and ultimately inspire readers who enjoy a serious work presented in a style that is ¿luminous¿ and a ¿delight to read.¿

Book excerpt: An inventive historical thriller that reimagines the tumultuous presidential election of 1860, capturing the people desperately trying to hold the nation together—and those trying to crack it apart. Abby Kelley Foster arrived in Springfield, Illinois, with the fate of the nation on her mind. Her fame as an abolitionist speaker had spread west and she knew that her first speech in the city would make headlines. One of the residents reading those headlines would be none other than the likely next president of the United States. Abraham Lincoln, lawyer and presidential candidate, knew his chances of winning were good. All he had to do was stay above the fray of the slavery debate and appear the voice of reason until the people cast their votes. The last thing he needed was a fiery abolitionist appearing in town. When her speech sparks violence, leading to her arrest and a high-profile trial, he suspects that his political rivals have conspired against him. President James Buchanan is one such rival. As his term ends and his political power crumbles, he gathers his advisers at the White House to make one last move that might derail Lincoln’s campaign, steal the election and throw America into chaos. A fascinating historical novel and fast-paced political thriller of a nation on the cusp of civil war, The Day Lincoln Lost offers an unexpected window into one of the most consequential elections in our country’s history.

Download or read book The Day We Lost the H Bomb written by Barbara Moran and published by Presidio Press. This book was released on 2009-04-28 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Day We Lost the H-Bomb, science writer Barbara Moran marshals a wealth of new information and recently declassified material to give the definitive account of the Cold War’s biggest nuclear weapons disaster. On January 17, 1966, a U.S. Air Force B-52 bomber exploded over the sleepy Spanish farming village of Palomares during a routine airborne refueling. The explosion killed seven airmen and scattered the bomber’s payload–four unarmed thermonuclear bombs–across miles of coastline. Three of the rogue H-bombs were recovered quickly. Tracking down the fourth required the largest search-and-salvage operation in U.S. military history. Moran traces the roots of the Palomares incident, giving a brief yet in-depth history of the Strategic Air Command and its eccentric, larger-than-life commander, General Curtis LeMay, whose massive deterrence strategy kept armed U.S. bombers aloft at all times. Back on the ground, Moran recounts the myriad social and environmental effects of an accident that spread radioactive debris over hundreds of acres of Spanish farmland, alarmed America’s strategic allies, and damaged Spanish-American diplomatic relations. As the American military floundered in its attempt to keep the story secret, the events in Spain sometimes took on farcical overtones. Constant global media hype was fueled by the hit James Bond movie Thunderball, with its plot about an atomic weapon lost at sea. In addition, there were the unwanted attentions of a rusty- hulled Soviet surveillance ship and even awkward public relations stunts, complete with American diplomats in swim trunks. The Day We Lost the H-Bomb is a singular work of military history that effortlessly and dramatically captures Cold War hysteria, high-stakes negotiations, and the race to clean up a disaster of unprecedented scope. At once epic and intimate, this book recounts in stunning detail the fragile peace Americans had made with nuclear weapons–and how the specter of imminent doom forced the United States to consider not only what had happened over Palomares but what could have happened. This forgotten chapter of Cold War history will grip readers with the tension of that time and reawaken the fears and hopes of that dangerous era.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Summary about this story: "The Day the Tall Man Got Lost" is a touching children's story that takes readers on a fantastic journey with Tim, the tallest man in the world, as he finds a mysterious map that leads him to Tiny Island. Tim lived in a big city not too far away. The world around him seemed small and unimportant because he was so tall. But when he found a map to Tiny Island, he couldn't turn down the chance for an adventure. Tim found himself on Tiny Island, where everything was small, including the trees, houses, and, most importantly, the Littles, who were tiny people. Tim was greeted with open arms by these friendly people, and he quickly learned that their way of life was marked by their friendliness, sense of community, and simplicity. Tim and the Littles went on a beautiful journey. They went through honey-scented flower fields, sparkling woods, and magical places like Tiny Lake and Tiny Market. He was amazed by how beautiful this small world was, and he became close with the people who lived there. Tim knew it was time to leave the tiny world that had won his heart and go back to the big city as the sun went down. The Littles waved goodbye with their tiny hands, and their bright eyes showed both sadness and hope. When Tim went back to the busy city, he couldn't stop thinking about his day on Tiny Island. He had learned that real greatness was not measured by how tall you are but by how many connections you have, how generous you are, and how well you can see beauty in simple things. Tim's life in the big city changed when he put what he learned on Tiny Island to use. He tried to get his friends to live more simply, love nature, and feel like they were part of a community. He helped people for free and told them about what he had learned, which made them kinder and simpler. Tim always had memories of Tiny Island with him, even though he lived in a big, complicated world. The lessons he had learned and the friends he had made changed his life. He knew that sometimes the most amazing things can happen in the most ordinary places, and that the most magical things can happen in the most ordinary times. "The Day the Tall Man Got Lost" is a story about finding yourself, changing, and the power of kindness and community that lasts. It tells us that the most exciting things can happen in the most unexpected places, and that the most profound and lasting magic can happen in the most ordinary things. Here's how the story starts: Once upon a time, on a bright morning in a place not too far away, a tall man named Tim lived there. Tim was a good example of the power of being taller than most people. He stood out in a world where most people couldn't even reach his chest. He was amazed by the unique view his height gave him, since he was so tall that even the largest people of his time were dwarfed by him. From his point of view, the way the world worked was both interesting and strange. Tim lived in the middle of a huge, busy city in a big, stately house that fit his towering height. It was a beautiful building that looked like it reached for the sky, and it reflected how powerful he was in the city. The greatness of the building was shown by its beautiful front, which had intricate carvings and tall columns on either side of the entrance. Tim looked out over the skyline from his luxurious home with a sense of power. He watched the tiny people below going about their daily lives as if they were small figures in a big diorama. Tim's world was full of highs and lows. The things he did every day showed how different things were in his surroundings. He walked through the twisting streets of the city and felt like a giant among the people who lived there. In comparison, the busy people looked like a sea of moving dots, and the cars moving below him looked like small toys. Even everyday things like lampposts and park benches looked like tiny decorations in his huge kingdom. Tim loved the many benefits of being taller than most people. He thought it was great that he didn't need ladders to get things off high shelves or change light bulbs. His friends used to joke that he had a "top shelf" view of life. Even though it was easy and interesting, his height made him feel alone. When he talked to other people, he often had to stoop or crouch, as if he were physically and mentally lowering himself to their level. Even though he looked powerful and had a lot of luxury, Tim was interested in a lot more than his big house and the city around it. He wanted to see the world from a different point of view and understand what it was like to live with people whose lives seemed so small compared to his. Tim was digging around in his closet one morning when he came across an old, worn-out map that would change his life forever. He was interested in the paper because it had a picture of Tiny Island on it. It drew him in with the promise of magic and wonder, and he couldn't resist the pull of the unknown. Tim went on an adventure, holding the map tightly in his huge hand. He was going to a world that was the exact opposite of his own. The trip itself to Tiny Island was an adventure. Tim, the giant, got on a small boat that seemed so small compared to him that it was almost funny. As he flew away from the tall buildings of the city, the world around him changed in a big way. The water spread out in front of him, and it looked like the sky went on forever. It was a big change from his everyday life, which was spent in crowded streets and big buildings. As the boat got closer to Tiny Island, Tim's heart rate went up. When he stepped onto the island, he felt like Gulliver in the land of the Lilliputians. The trees around him were only about as tall as his knee, and their leaves moved slowly in the breeze. The flowers' many colors look like little pearls strewn all over the ground. The houses he found were small and cozy, about the size of dollhouses, and they were hidden among the plants and flowers like gifts. Tim was most interested in the people who lived on Tiny Island, though. These little people, who were no taller than his hand, made him smile with their strangeness. Their eyes shone like stars, and their big smiles made them look warm and friendly. When a giant from the big world showed up, it got their attention. They welcomed him with open arms. Tim and the Littles went on an adventure to find out more about the magical world of Tiny Island. The Littles were so happy as they led him through fields of tiny flowers that smelled so good. They went through beautiful woods where the trees sparkled in the light, and they showed him the smallest animals on the island. As the day went on, Tim couldn't help but be amazed by how beautiful and simple Tiny Island was. In a world where everything was small and fragile, he learned a lot about how complicated life can be. He liked the Littles' ability to make a thriving community even though they were small. Their tiny leaf-and-twig homes were works of art, and their tiny crops gave them a lot of food. Tim's friendship with the Littles grew stronger as time went on. They told each other stories and laughed, and Tim realized that they had a lot in common despite how different they looked. He learned a lot from the Littles about being part of a group, being kind, and enjoying the simple things in life. Tim knew it was time to leave Tiny Island when the orange and pink colors of the setting sun filled the sky with golden rays. The Littles came to say their last goodbyes, and their small voices were full of sadness and thanks. They had grown to like the huge guest, and when they left, it meant the end of a great day. Tim went back to the small boat that would take him back to the big city. The Littles showed him the way. He thanked his new friends very much and promised to come back. As the boat moved away, he looked back at the small island and thought about how nice the day had been. Tim couldn't help but think about his trip to Tiny Island when he got back to the big city with its tall buildings and busy streets. It had been a day of magic and new discoveries that had changed his view of life for good. Even though he was the biggest person on Earth, he found that the people of Tiny Island had a lot to teach him. Tim went for a walk one day when the sun cast a warm, golden glow over the city and made everything look warm and inviting. On this beautiful morning, Tim's path led him to a surprising find because of a bit of luck. As he walked down the streets he knew, lost in thought, he came across a part of the city that looked like it wasn't being taken care of. There, a charming old bookstore was nestled between new shops. Tim's attention was drawn to a dusty window display. Beneath the layers of age and disrepair was a treasure chest of forgotten stories. He opened the door, which creaked, and walked into the cozy little shop. The walls were lined with rows and rows of books, whose spines sagged from holding so many stories. The air was full of the smell of old paper, a relaxing scent that took him back in time right away. As he walked along the shelves, his fingers ran over the old covers of the books. Each one held a world of adventure in its pages. But it wasn't a book that brought him in that day; it was a faded, old map that stood out on a small wooden board next to the bar. The title "Tiny Island" was written in a fancy, curling script that seemed to whisper secrets of a long-gone world. The map was framed in broken leather. The paper had turned yellow from age, and the ink lines made complicated landscapes and strange shapes that hinted at adventure and mystery. Tim's interest was first sparked by the intriguing word, but it grew into a strong desire to see this unknown country. The chart's appeal drew him in, and he couldn't say no to the temptation it offered. As shown on the map, Tiny Island wasn't just any island. It was a magical place where reality seemed to shrink to comedic proportions. People said that it was home to tiny people, animals that were no bigger than his palm, and homes that were no bigger than his palm. Tim's heartbeat fast as he held the map, which felt rough and brittle to the touch. He felt like an adventurer from one of the many books he had read in his huge home library. The idea of going somewhere where everything was small and pretty was enticing, like a call to step out of the everyday and into the unusual. Tim didn't think twice before making his choice. He was going to Tiny Island, a place that offered more magic and adventure than he could have ever imagined. He set off on a trip that would take him far out of his comfort zone. He left the busy streets of the city, which seemed tiny next to their huge size, behind.
