Book excerpt: **NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER** Her story. His story. The love story of Joey and Rory. By inviting so many into the final months of Joey’s life as she battled cancer, Joey and Rory Feek captured hearts around the world with how they handled the diagnosis; the inspiring, simple way they chose to live; and how they loved each other every step of the way. But there is far more to the story. “My life is very ordinary,” says Rory. “On the surface, it is not very special. If you looked at it, day to day, it wouldn’t seem like much. But when you look at it in a bigger context—as part of a larger story—you start to see the magic that is on the pages of the book that is my life. And the more you look, the more you see. Or, at least, I do.” In this vulnerable book, he takes us for the first time into his own challenging life story and what it was like growing up in rural America with little money and even less family stability. This is the story of a man searching for meaning and security in a world that offered neither. And it’s the story of a man who finally gives it all to a power higher than himself and soon meets a young woman who will change his heart forever. In This Life I Live, Rory Feek helps us not only to connect more fully to his and Joey’s story but also to our own journeys. He shows what can happen when we are fully open in life’s key moments, whether when meeting our life companion or tackling an unexpected tragedy. He also gives never-before-revealed details on their life together and what he calls “the long goodbye,” the blessing of being able to know that life is going to end and taking advantage of it. Rory shows how we are all actually there already and how we can learn to live that way every day. A gifted man from nowhere and everywhere in search of something to believe in. A young woman from the Midwest with an angelic voice and deep roots that just needed a place to be planted. This is their story. Two hearts that found each other and touched millions of other hearts along the way.

Download or read book The Life of the Honey Bee written by ,Adrianna and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-03-25 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Life of the Honey Bee, two young girls, Em and Noel, cope with the destructive, fatal choices made by their mother during her life after her death. Their mother, Marian, suffered great tragedies in her lifetime, causing her to lose compassion for everyone including her own daughters. Marian, born in the south and migrated north with her mother as an elementary-aged child, recovered from the brinks of insanity, only to fall into ghastly grips of addiction and self-destruction. During happier times in her life, Marian conceived two children in very different manners. Marian tried to be a good mother, until the weight of her past caught up with her. Not in the mental state to be a productive parent, Marian left much of the child rearing to her mother, Cecilia. Cecilia was a devout Christian, an excellent mother, and a dutiful wife to the day of her husband's death. After the death of her husband, Cecilia dedicated her life to raising her children successfully. Marian, the baby of the family, was the only of Cecilia's children who failed to live a long joyous, happy Christian life. Em suffered, and Noel witnessed much pain during the short time they were in their mother's care. Both girls lost their innocence before age ten. They had seen too much to have the socio-emotional intellect of girls their ages. The wisdom both girls gained was fuel. It fueled their very different paths to very different ends. While Em remained in the cycle of the generational curses that were the root causes of her mother's death, Noel embarked on a spiritual journey that helped her cope and survive with the loss and her pain of her life. Some people may consider Noel's life and survival to be a miracle. Noel managed to stay strong and focused. Despite the bad she witnessed, she always managed to do right and good to everyone in every situation.

Download or read book Skin Acts written by Michelle Ann Stephens and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2014-08-24 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Skin Acts, Michelle Ann Stephens explores the work of four iconic twentieth-century black male performers—Bert Williams, Paul Robeson, Harry Belafonte, and Bob Marley—to reveal how racial and sexual difference is both marked by and experienced in the skin. She situates each figure within his cultural moment, examining his performance in the context of contemporary race relations and visual regimes. Drawing on Lacanian psychoanalysis and performance theory, Stephens contends that while black skin is subject to what Frantz Fanon called the epidermalizing and hardening effects of the gaze, it is in the flesh that other—intersubjective, pre-discursive, and sensuous—forms of knowing take place between artist and audience. Analyzing a wide range of visual, musical, and textual sources, Stephens shows that black subjectivity and performativity are structured by the tension between skin and flesh, sight and touch, difference and sameness.
