Book excerpt: Writer Susan Tweit and her economist-turned-sculptor husband Richard Cabe had just settled into their version of a “good life” when Richard saw thousands of birds one day—harbingers of the brain cancer that would kill him two years later. This compelling and intimate memoir chronicles their journey into the end of his life, framed by their final trip together, a 4,000-mile-long delayed honeymoon road trip. As Susan and Richard navigate the unfamiliar territory of brain cancer treatment and learn a whole new vocabulary—craniotomies, adjuvant chemotherapy, and brain geography—they also develop new routines for a mindful existence, relying on each other and their connection to nature, including the real birds Richard enjoys watching. Their determination to walk hand in hand, with open hearts, results in profound and difficult adjustments in their roles. Bless the Birds is not a sad story. It is both prayer and love song, a guide to how to thrive in a world where all we hold dear seems to be eroding, whether simple civility and respect, our health and safety, or the Earth itself. It’s an exploration of living with love in a time of dying—whether personal or global—with humor, unflinching courage, and grace. And it is an invitation to choose to live in light of what we love, rather than what we fear.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Birds Without Wings traces the fortunes of one small community in southwest Turkey (Anatolia) in the early part of the last century—a quirky community in which Christian and Muslim lives and traditions have co-existed peacefully over the centuries and where friendship, even love, has transcended religious differences. But with the disintegration of the Ottoman Empire and the onset of the Great War, the sweep of history has a cataclysmic effect on this peaceful place: The great love of Philothei, a Christian girl of legendary beauty, and Ibrahim, a Muslim shepherd who courts her from near infancy, culminates in tragedy and madness; Two inseparable childhood friends who grow up playing in the hills above the town suddenly find themselves on opposite sides of the bloody struggle; and Rustem Bey, a wealthy landlord, who has an enchanting mistress who is not what she seems. Far away from these small lives, a man of destiny who will come to be known as Mustafa Kemal Atatürk is emerging to create a country from the ruins of an empire. Victory at Gallipoli fails to save the Ottomans from ultimate defeat and, as a new conflict arises, Muslims and Christians struggle to survive, let alone understand, their part in the great tragedy that will reshape the whole region forever.

Download or read book Three Little Church Birds written by Darlinda Turner and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2019-12-27 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about Mother Reba P. Richardson Jackson. She was a lady of class and loved to get dressed up and wear fancy hats. She was a lady that walked with authority. She always had Pearls and a scarf around her neck. She was a Proverbs 31 woman. The scriptures fits her: Proverbs 31:15, 20, 22 KJV 15: “She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens. 20: She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy. 22: She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.” The book tells how she sang from church to church. She was a Devotional Leader and Prayer Warrior. Her life was taken care of her 22 children and singing. In Spite of her having Cancer in her throat before and her mouth was twisted from a tumor, it never stopped her from singing. She loved to bless others when she would sing. Singing was a way she said “Thanks to the Lord for all He has done for her.” All the songs that are mentioned in the book were some of her favorite. “Especially during Sunday morning church service.” The Song Bird was chosen to show how free she could fly around God’s creation and sing. I pray that this book will bless all ages. I just want the world to know how much my Grandmother had an impact on my life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A book that “compiles more than 200 poignant and warmly humorous blessings” to still your mind and lighten your heart (Publishers Weekly). Gale Pryor offers found blessings, traditional blessings, and her own original blessings, which are at times funny, at times thought provoking, but always meaningful. Included are “Blessings for Home,” “Blessings for Friends & Neighbors Wherever They Are,” “Blessings for Our Daily Bread,” “Blessings for Babies and Children,” “Blessings for Partnership,” and “Blessings for Small Pleasures.” Pryor gathers blessings from many cultures that aid the search for peace in the midst of chaos. Examples include:May your home have more books than shelves, more food than plates, and more guests than chairs.Bless the partner who sorts and cleans the spice cabinet.May every small child watch an ant and let it live. Sometimes looking to traditional prayers for comfort and guidance can only take you so far. You need “prayers drawn up from the little things more than prayers drawn down from the heavens.” The kinds of blessings included in this book are those that have been swept up from daily life, those that open your eyes to the small graces in all of our homes and families, the moment-by-moment blessings.
