Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I was very touched by the story beautifully told in An Uncommon Friendship. The pain and suffering brought on by the Holocaust is described in a riveting way. The book shows how a chance meeting followed by a deep friendship can lead to compassion, forgiveness, and understanding on a deeply personal level."--Barbara Boxer, United States Senator "Fritz Tubach and Bernat Rosner perfectly link the abstract horror of the Nazi death machine with the harmless-seeming, rural somnolence of European village life in the '30s. An Uncommon Friendship is tangible, real, heart-breaking, awesome. This double memoir of a German youth and the Hungarian-Jewish youth he befriended in later life is absolutely unique and stunningly beautiful."--Carolyn See, author of The Handyman "I read, admired and was gripped by the counterpoint memoirs of Bernie Rosner, a Hungarian-born survivor of Auschwitz and Mauthausen, and Fritz Tubach, the son of a Nazi German army officer. Factual, measured, unemphatic, sharply evocative, their linked stories prove extraordinarily moving. An original document not to be missed and an absorbing read."--Eugen Weber, author of The Hollow Years

His Conversations with God series, book 1, book 2, and book 3, have all been New York Times bestsellers--book 1 for over two years.The essence of Neale Donald Walsch's message lies at the heart of faith--the sacred place in every person, where he stands alone with his God. Walsch urges each of us to forge our own unique relationship with God, a God who is everywhere and speaks to us in all we do. It is up to us to stop and listen. It is up to us to respond . . . to begin the conversation. And a conversation is the first step, just as in any relationship, in establishing trust, in building friendship, in creating communion. In Friendship with God, Neale Donald Walsch shares the next part of his journey, and leads us to deepen and strengthen our own bonds with God. He honors our heart's desire: a closer connection, richer and fuller. A friendship with God.

Using diaries, letters and other sources,The Empress and Mrs. Congertraces the parallel lives of Empress Dowager Cixi and American ambassador's wife Sarah Pike Conger, which converged to alter their perspectives of each other and each other's worlds. Grant Hayter-Menziesis the author ofImperial Masquerade: The Legend of Princess Der Lingand the biographer of stage and screen stars Charlotte Greenwood and Billie Burke. "Sarah Conger's story is worth telling for many reasons. She occupied a point in time that makes her interesting, but the author demonstrates that she is interesting in her own right-a flawed and fascinating individual whose story we want to read not for what we learn about Chinese history, but for what we learn about a woman profoundly typical of her era and class leading a life of determination in the belief that the right combination of positive attitudes and common sense must win out over adversity." - Timothy Brook, University of British Columbia

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An inspiring true story about losing your place, finding your purpose, and building a community one book at a time. Wendy Welch and her husband had always dreamed of owning a bookstore, so when they left their high-octane jobs for a simpler life in an Appalachian coal town, they seized an unexpected opportunity to pursue thier dream. The only problems? A declining U.S. economy, a small town with no industry, and the advent of the e-book. They also had no idea how to run a bookstore. Against all odds, but with optimism, the help of their Virginian mountain community, and an abiding love for books, they succeeded in establishing more than a thriving business - they built a community. The Little Bookstore of Big Stone Gap is the little bookstore that could: how two people, two cats, two dogs, and thirty-eight thousand books helped a small town find its heart. It is a story about people and books, and how together they create community.

Download or read book An Uncommon Truth written by Rene Sanchez and published by . This book was released on 2020-02-20 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hi our names are Jesse MacDonald (mac) and Rene Sanchez (sanchez). We are best friends. Our book is the story of our journey as friends and our search for Truth. We have found that Christians and non-Christians alike are going through life making decisions not connected to Absolute Truth. Our solution to this problem was to tell the story of how Sanchez helped a reluctant Mac find his way to Jesus; then find His voice. Even though we both have B.A. and M.Ed. degrees, our qualifications for writing this book come from the more basic human ability to question, discuss, search, and reason. We have studied the arguments of the greats in philosophy, religion, theology, and many of the common or popular alternative worldviews. We are trying everyday, and really every moment, to apply what we learned through our journey of self taught discovery of the way to live in this world. This book is our attempt to share what we have found to be true and hope others discover Him too.Our book is unique in that it doesn't have traditional chapters. Rather, its broken into to major volumes: Getting to Jesus and After Jesus. The book is three things. It is a first hand account of our journey. It is a roadmap from non belief to belief. Finally, it is a ministry for anyone who is seeking truth.
