Download or read book Windborne written by Philip Fair and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2006-05 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compelling tale of love, battle, and faith, Windborne is set in a land of flying warriors, locked in a seemingly endless conflict over an ever-changing border, a war that has gone on long enough that even the combatants are no longer sure of their goals or the endgame. Wilford is a shy young villager, pulled into the struggle as a cadet, and turned into a vicious killer, the pride of his captains, by the tragedies of war. Saved by people of faith from his hopelessly murderous existence, he re-enters the war, baptized with the Spirit and the desire to end the bloodshed. Besides the obvious enemy across the border, he faces belligerent superiors, traitors in the ranks, and personal loss. Through hard work, faith, loyal friends, his own fighting prowess, and the grace of God, he ascends the ranks, determined to bring a victorious peace.

Download or read book Sister Carrie written by Theodore Dreiser and published by Modern Library. This book was released on 2000-11-01 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Selected by the Modern Library as one of the 100 best novels of all time 'American writing, before and after Dreiser's time, differed almost as much as biology before and after Darwin,' said H. L. Mencken. Sister Carrie, Dreiser's great first novel, transformed the conventional 'fallen woman' story into a bold and truly innovative piece of fiction when it appeared in 1900. Naïve young Caroline Meeber, a small-town girl seduced by the lure of the modern city, becomes the mistress of a traveling salesman and then of a saloon manager, who elopes with her to New York. Both its subject matter and Dreiser's unsparing, nonjudgmental approach made Sister Carrie a controversial book in its time, and the work retains the power to shock readers today. 'Sister Carrie came to housebound and airless America like a great free Western wind, and to our stuffy domesticity gave us the first fresh air since Mark Twain and Whitman,' noted Sinclair Lewis. 'Dreiser enlarged, willy-nilly, by a kind of historical accident if you will, the range of American literature,' observed Robert Penn Warren. '[Sister Carrie] is a vivid and absorbing work of art.'
Download or read book Eve s Sisters written by Jayne P. Bowers and published by Inspiring Voices. This book was released on 2012 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this compilation of essays demonstrating the application of psychological and spiritual principles to the women of the Bible, the reader will soon see the similarities between the lives of Biblical women and those of today. Just like 21st century “Eves,” some are wise, brave, and faithful, and others are conniving, imprudent, and downright disagreeable. Then and now, women struggle with emotions, relationships, and personal choice as they navigate their way through life. Eve and her sisters felt apprehension, jealously, and self-doubt. And like us, many squared their shoulders and faced their fears head on. With its themes of love, faith, individuality, and fulfillment, the Bible can actually be seen as a self-help book. Don’t underestimate the power of these women who lived generations ago to reach across time and culture to touch our lives. A semi-retired educator with a background in psychology, Jayne is the author of four blogs and has published articles/stories in Guideposts, The Petigru Review, and two LDS magazines, the Liahona and the Ensign. She has also written two books, Human Relations in Industry and Musings of a Missionary Mom.

Download or read book Keeping the World Away written by Margaret Forster and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2008-07-29 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gwen, a bold and spirited young English artist, defies convention and sets out to study in Paris, where she has a tumultuous affair with the inspiring, controlling sculptor Rodin. But as the relationship cools, Gwen feels lonely and adrift as she awaits the ever more infrequent visits from her lover. Attempting to restore her artistic vision and recapture her true self, Gwen pours out her soul onto a canvas, creating an intimate painting of a quiet corner of her attic room. Lost, found, stolen, sold, and fought over, the painting enchants all who possess it. First it falls into the hands of Charlotte, a dreamy intellectual with artistic leanings–though little talent. In turn the work finds its way to the lovely, bright Stella; the destitute but willful Lucasta; self-sufficient Ailsa; and, finally, young, curious Gillian. All of whom long for a tranquil golden place such as the one depicted in the painting, a haven where they can “keep the world away.” Praise for Keeping the World Away: “Evocative . . . an apparently simple yet potent work of art.” –The New York Times Book Review “Highly recommended . . . One small painting, a still life of a corner of an attic room, is the thread that ties this moving novel together.” –Library Journal (starred review) “It is the painting’s power to evoke tranquility that Forster so effectively celebrates.” –Richmond Times-Dispatch “Haunting . . . revealing . . . exquisitely drawn.” –The Washington Post Book World “An intimate, subtly crafted, satisfying read.” –Kirkus Reviews

Book excerpt: Dark magic, bound centuries ago by young Salem witches to ensure the safety of all has awakened. Unaware of their family histories, three modern women are all that stand between black magic and the havoc it would cause in today’s world where pure intentions are rare. As Teegan learns of the legacy of her ancestors, and that she will be the one to stand between the innocent and chaos, she isn’t sure she can do it. She wasn’t born to fight evil. She doesn’t even know if she believes in magic, white or black. Her entire life she was led to believe her family had a hereditary illness that affected the mind—now that she knows it was because of one young ancestor’s enchantment, to pass it from mother to daughter through the generations until now, she trains hard to be able to do what needs to be done. Will that be enough? If she stops the first descendant carrying the darkness, will that be the end of it or is there more to come? Leland has been part of the brotherhood since birth, as was his father, grandfather, and many generations before him. He has one job on this earth, to help the descendant of Alana hone the magic inside her. If he fails, all of mankind will suffer the consequences. He’s prepared for this all of his life, but the one thing he couldn’t anticipate is the way his magic reacts to Teegan’s or how hard he has to fight it to help her complete what she was born to do.
