Download or read book Fire Is Your Water written by Jim Minick and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-15 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sacred chants are Ada Franklin’s power and her medicine. By saying them, she can remove warts, stanch bleeding, and draw the fire from burns. At age twenty, her reputation as a faith healer defines her in her rural Pennsylvania community. But on the day in 1953 that her family’s barn is consumed by flame, her identity as a healer is upended. The heat, the roar of the blaze, and the bellows of the trapped cows change Ada. For the first time, she fears death and—for the first time—she doubts God. With her belief goes her power to heal. Then Ada meets an agnostic named Will Burk and his pet raven, Cicero. Fire Is Your Water is acclaimed memoirist Jim Minick’s first novel. Built on magical realism and social observation in equal measure, it never gives way to sentimentality and provides an insider’s glimpse into the culture of Appalachia. A jealous raven, a Greek chorus of one, punctuates the story with its judgments on the characters and their actions, until a tragic accident brings Ada and Will together in a deeper connection.

Download or read book Leave Your Water Jar written by Georgia Wilkerson and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2008-03 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, based on the account of "the woman at the well" found in John's Gospel chapter four, is a refreshing look at what it means to leave your "water jar" and move forward for the glory of our Lord with new joy, peace, and a love for life in our newfound relationship in Christ. Author Georgia Wilkerson gives fresh, new insight into this age-old account that can be the catalyst to set the reader free from the power of Satan that holds him/her in bondage to a past that is under the blood of Christ-forgiven, never to be remembered by the loving Father God against him/her ever again. It is amazing how the truth in this book can set one free to enjoy their new life in Christ to the fullest. From the foreword by James Hutchings Dr. Georgia Wilkerson was educated at Covington Theological Seminary, Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia. Graduating with honors, she earned a Bachelor of Ministry Degree in Bible, a Master Degree in Religious Education, and a Doctor of Ministry Degree in Theology. She trusted Christ as personal Savior at age seven, but for many years didn't grow in her faith. Much of her life was lived in defeat, intimidation, and shame, which she struggled to hide, endeavoring to be the perfect Christian. Not realizing that her identity and value is in Christ alone, she lived in the prison of past sins and failures. Georgia understands that God used her struggles to prepare her for the ministry of setting the captives free, and is brokenhearted for brothers and sisters who remain captives. Therefore, with zeal to see Christians walk in freedom, Georgia has ministered as keynote speaker for many crusades, Bible conferences, luncheons, and retreats.

Download or read book Your Water Footprint written by Stephen Leahy and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The average American lifestyle is kept afloat by about 2,000 gallons of H2O a day. The numbers are shocking. Your Water Footprint reveals the true cost of our lifestyle. A "water footprint" is the amount of fresh water used to produce the goods and services we consume, including growing, harvesting, packaging, and shipping. From the foods we eat to the clothes we wear to the books we read and the music we listen to, all of it costs more than what we pay at the check-out. The 125 footprint facts in this book show the true cost of our lifestyle and what it is doing to Earth, including draining it dry. The "Virtual Water Concept" shows the amount of water used in human activities. Presented in clever, understandable graphics, Your Water Footprint raises readers' awareness of how much water is used to make the things we use, consume and grow. What we put on our dinner table has a very high cost. Nearly 95 percent of our water footprint is hidden in the food we eat: One pound of lettuce costs 15 gallons of freshwater; mango 190 gallons; avocado 220 gallons; tofu 244 gallons; rice 403 gallons; olives 522 gallons; pork 1,630 gallons; butter 2,044 gallons; chocolate 2,847 gallons; and beef 2,500 to 5,000 gallons. A slice of bread costs 10 gallons but if you eat it with a slice of cheese, it takes another 13 gallons. One glass of beer takes 20 gallons of water, and just one standard cup of tea costs 120 same-sized cups of water. A cotton t-shirt takes almost as much water as beef, a pair of jeans even more. In fact, all aspects of our daily lives require water in some way, shape or form. The saying that "nothing is free" applies more to water than anything else we consume, considering just three percent of the world's water is drinkable and that we are using more of it than ever before. Factor in climate change, population growth and pollution and we have an unsustainable situation. Many experts predict dire water shortages if we continue on our current path. Your Water Footprint is riveting. Consumers of all ages will be stunned by what it reveals. It is an excellent reference and an exciting way to introduce the resource-consumption equation to students.
