Book excerpt: We all dream about what we want to do for the rest of our life. We plan, train and work hard as we develop our skills in our chosen field. But what happens if a catastrophic illness or accident suddenly takes away all our physical abilities? This is what happened to Charlie, a man that author Don Davis cared for as an orderly back in 1967. Charlie's attitude and outlook on life were so positive, so optimistic, that he made an indelible impression on the young Don Davis and has continued to inspire him even to this day. Charlie, a big, strong truck owner and driver, falls asleep at the wheel and crashes his eighteen-wheeler. He falls asleep a whole person and wakes up paralyzed from the neck down. The job prospects for quadriplegics are dismal but Charlie persists, even though his fellow quadriplegic roommates refuse to focus on rebuilding their futures. Surrounded by defeatism and depression, Charlie will not be deterred. This story is about the strength of the human spirit when faced with apparently insurmountable obstacles. Charlie's Quest takes you on a journey like no other.

Download or read book The Storied City written by Charlie English and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2018-05-01 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Timbuktu is a real place, and Charlie English will fuel your wanderlust with true descriptions of the fabled city’s past, present, and future.” –Fodor’s Two tales of a city: The historical race to “discover” one of the world’s most mythologized places, and the story of how a contemporary band of archivists and librarians, fighting to save its ancient manuscripts from destruction at the hands of al Qaeda, added another layer to the legend. To Westerners, the name “Timbuktu” long conjured a tantalizing paradise, an African El Dorado where even the slaves wore gold. Beginning in the late eighteenth century, a series of explorers gripped by the fever for “discovery” tried repeatedly to reach the fabled city. But one expedition after another went disastrously awry, succumbing to attack, the climate, and disease. Timbuktu was rich in another way too. A medieval center of learning, it was home to tens of thousands—according to some, hundreds of thousands—of ancient manuscripts, on subjects ranging from religion to poetry, law to history, pharmacology, and astronomy. When al-Qaeda–linked jihadists surged across Mali in 2012, threatening the existence of these precious documents, a remarkable thing happened: a team of librarians and archivists joined forces to spirit the manuscripts into hiding. Relying on extensive research and firsthand reporting, Charlie English expertly twines these two suspenseful strands into a fraught and fascinating account of one of the planet's extraordinary places, and the myths from which it has become inseparable.

Download or read book The Ideal of Kingship in the Writings of Charles Williams C S Lewis and J R R Tolkien written by Christopher Scarf and published by James Clarke & Company. This book was released on 2013-06-27 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his distinctive work, Christopher Scarf explores the writings of the three most prominent Oxford Inklings - Charles Williams (1886-1945), C.S. Lewis (1898-1963), and J.R.R. Tolkien (1892-1973) - to reveal and contrast their conceptions of the ideal of 'kingship'; divine, human, and mythological. As practising Christians, the faith of all three writers was central to their literary and personal visions of kingship, society, love, beauty, justice and power. Scarf investigates their beliefin God as Creator and heavenly King, opinions on the nature of His very being, and the way in which all believed the Creator to be unique rather than one among many. The relationship between the earthly and heavenly King is considered, as well as the extent to which the writers contend that earthly kings are God's viceregents, act with His authority, and are duty-bound to establish and sustain just and joyous societies. Examining the writings of all three men in detail, Scarf also highlights the covert evidence of their lives and personalities which may be discovered in their texts. An understanding of the authors' individual but overlapping views of the essential meaning of Kingship, and their personalities and early lives, will enrichthe reader's appreciation of their created worlds. This volume provides a unique focus on Kingship and the Christian beliefs of three well-loved writers, and will be of interest to any reader seeking a fuller understanding of the individuals and their works.
