Download or read book Strange Mr Satie Composer of the Absurd written by M. T. Anderson and published by Candlewick Press. This book was released on 2021-01-26 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a brilliant performance worthy of the composer, M. T. Anderson and Petra Mathers present a picture-book biography of the singular Erik Satie. Throughout his life, Erik Satie wanted to make a new kind of music, a kind of music both very young and very old, very bold and very shy, that followed no rules but its own. At first glance, Erik Satie looked as normal as anyone else in Paris one hundred years ago. Beyond his shy smile, however, was a mind like no other. When Satie sat down at the piano to compose or play music, his tunes were strange and dreamlike, his melodies topsy-turvy and discordant. Many people hated his music. Few understood it. But to Erik Satie there was sense in nonsense, and the vibrant, surreal compositions of this eccentric man-child would go on to influence many artists.

Download or read book On Wings of Infinity written by Linda C. Smith and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-02-06 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Infinity. It's something that never ends. There is no way to begin to imagine what that really means, but the Holy Spirit is infinite. On Wings of Infinity tells how by the leading of the Holy Spirit, I was able to experience the hand of God moving in my life and in my sons' lives in a mighty way. It is about the all-seeing and all-knowing God who hears you when you pray. It's about times when he created miracles for each one of my sons, individually, that saved their lives. Each incident brought me closer and closer to the realization that God really does care about everything in my life. Sometimes people think that knowing the God who created the universe would be impossible. But it is not. Actually, it is very simple. This is what I believe. You can spend your whole life, even as a child of God, never really understanding or knowing the voice of God. But, as a child of God, his spirit lives in you. And you can learn to know when he is speaking to you. You can really become aware that God wants to speak to you, to help you. He never forces himself on you. You have to desire, to want to hear him. The first part of James 4:8 (KJV) says, "Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you." When you begin to have moments of knowing that it is the Holy Spirit of God speaking to you, it becomes so precious. In this book, I will tell you of times that I learned how much I needed God to help me and the ways that he did. Most of them are complete miracles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.
