Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever tried to read the Bible from start to finish but found it too complicated or overwhelming, causing you to give up even before you’re partway through the Old Testament? No book is as life changing as the Holy Bible. And yet, so many people have a difficult time reading it, getting bogged down with the genealogies in 1 Chronicles or the seeming convoluted laws of Leviticus, never mind the confusing imagery of Revelation. Furthermore, they have no idea how the people, events, and themes of the Old Testament connect with the New Testament and vice versa. If this describes your experience, then Journey Through the Bible is the perfect book for you. Wherever you are in your faith journey, this book of 406 daily readings makes each part of the Bible relevant, clear, and easy to understand. By inserting several points of interest along the way, author Brenda Ryan emphasizes the messages that are relevant to you and your faith walk while also connecting the Old Testament with the New Testament and the promise of a Saviour. Each reading includes, on average, three chapters of the Bible in chronological order, from Genesis to Revelation. At the end of each reading, space is provided for you to jot down and reflect upon any other points of interest that you encounter along the way. By the time you complete your journey, not only will you have a clear overview of the Bible and its one big story, you’ll be ready— and eager—to start all over again.

Download or read book Adaptive Strategies for Small Handed Pianists written by Lora Deahl and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adaptive Strategies for Small-Handed Pianists brings together information from biomechanics, ergonomics, physics, anatomy, medicine, and piano pedagogy to focus on the subject of small-handedness. The first comprehensive study of its kind, the book opens with an overview of historical, anatomical, and pedagogical perspectives and redresses long-held biases concerning those who struggle at the piano because of issues with hand size. A discussion of work efficiency, the human anatomy, and the constraints of physics serves as the theoretical basis for a focused analysis of healthy movement and piano technique as they relate to small-handedness. Separate chapters deal with specific alternative approaches: redistribution, refingering, strategies to maximize reach and power, and musical solutions for technical problems. Richly illustrated with hundreds of examples from a wide range of piano repertoire, the book is an incomparable resource for piano teachers and students, written in language that is accessible to a broad audience. It balances scholastic rigor with practical experience in the field to demonstrate that the unique physical and musical needs of the small-handed can be addressed in sensitive and appropriate ways.
