Download or read book Stuck Together written by Raymond N Armstrong and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2009-10 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joe Bennett, Dixie Mae Crandall, Hattie Cooper, and Clarence Cobb are hardly exemplary citizens, but they color the pages of this book with recognizable humanity. Thornburg, Indiana, is the kind of town in which such characters are not only tolerated but accepted as part of the scenery. Their lives intertwine, sometimes in spite of their intentions. Often against the odds they support and help one another to greater hope and a better life. Too involved with each other's business to be objective, they nevertheless regard one another with tolerance or, at their best, with love and admira-tion. With no two people alike, they form a mosaic of American life on a small scale, a kind of confusion which, as E.B White has noted, "makes a democracy so lovable and so frightening." You will likely find people you have known--or perhaps yourself--in these stories.

Download or read book Keeping Christmas written by James A. Hopwood and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-09-17 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year—or at least we want it to be. Too often our celebration of Jesus’ birthday is overwhelmed by bright lights and tinsel, overspending and overeating, plus constant chatter about a “war on Christmas.” Can’t we do better than this? There are two Christmases. One is sacred. One is secular. The two have clashed in one “culture war” or another for 1,700 years. Christmas is not (as some falsely claim) a pagan holiday, but pagan-influenced traditions are part of the seasonal clutter. Keeping Christmas is about helping you find joy in a season of excess and strife. Part survival guide, part history, part cultural commentary, and all laced with spiritual reflection, this book is about how you can celebrate in ways that are most meaningful to you and your family. It’s not easy to thread your way through the Christmas maze. But if Ebenezer Scrooge could learn to keep Christmas well, so can you. Maybe it’s time to reinvent Christmas. Maybe we can get it right this time.
