Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lord, The Light of Your Love is Shining is a continuation of the author’s first book, My Journey Back to God. In this story, Emanuela recalls her personal testimony, including her struggles and how she changed her perspective to go on. As a believer, the author’s walk of life hasn’t been easy, but she relied on the study of the bible and in her belief that Jesus is real. After moving to another country, she found her call in scripture. When entering into Canada, she was met with a sponsor – a widowed man with 8 adult children – who later became her life partner. In this story, the author is confronted with a culture that is destroyed by English and French speaking people. Her love of the First Nation was woken up many years prior in her former home country of Switzerland, but here in Canada she felt the hate of this nation that has seemed to have lost their culture. Entering into the country as a stranger, she was forced to learn and speak English, which posed to be a struggle with her hard Swiss accent. This story in its entirety will show readers how important it is to be a believer in Jesus – He was the presence that guided her through these struggles, and became an important aspect of her new life in Canada. She was often comforted by the fact that everything happens in God’s plan, and knowing that He is the only one who makes it happen. However, this path in life is also covered in hate, such as racism ad xenophobia, amplifying the importance of putting God first and trusting Him through the many ups and downs we encounter in all walks of life. With all these difficult experience at hand, the author learned to look at life with a different outlook: “If God is for me, who can be against me?”

Download or read book The Victorian Baby in Print written by Tamara S. Wagner and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-10-15 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Victorian Baby in Print: Infancy, Infant Care, and Nineteenth-Century Popular Culture explores the representation of babyhood in Victorian Britain. The first study to focus exclusively on the baby in nineteenth-century literature and culture, this critical analysis discusses the changing roles of an iconic figure. A close look at the wide-ranging portrayal of infants and infant care not only reveals how divergent and often contradictory Victorian attitudes to infancy really were, but also challenges persistent clichés surrounding the literary baby that emerged or were consolidated at the time, and which are largely still with us. Drawing on a variety of texts, including novels by Charles Dickens, Wilkie Collins, Mary Elizabeth Braddon, Mrs Henry Wood, and Charlotte Yonge, as well as parenting magazines of the time, childrearing manuals, and advertisements, this study analyses how their representations of infancy and infant care utilised and shaped an iconography that has become definitional of the Victorian age itself. The familiar clichés surrounding the Victorian baby have had a lasting impact on the way we see both the Victorians and babies, and a critical reconsideration might also prompt a self-critical reconsideration of the still burgeoning market for infant care advice today.
