Download or read book Notes of a Son and Brother and The Middle Years written by Henry James and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 2011-05-03 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After a childhood divided between America and Europe, Henry James settled with his family in New England, first in what he regarded as an outpost of Europe, Newport, and later in Cambridge. The family letters (the initial inspiration for this autobiographical enterprise), many of which recount the early career of William James at Harvard and in Germany, also reveal Henry James Sr.’s views on the intellectual, philosophical, and social issues of the time. Henry Jr., aspiring to be "just literary," acknowledges his indebtedness to the widely cultured artist John La Farge, whose friendship he enjoyed during adolescence. The Civil War is recorded through the letters of his younger brother, Wilky, while Henry recalls a Whitmanesque longing for the Union soldiers he met and talked to. The death of a beloved cousin, Mary Temple, who would become the inspiration for some of his greatest fictional heroines, is documented through the passionate, questioning letters she wrote in her final year of life. In The Middle Years James, newly resident in London, gives his impressions of some of the literary "lions" of the time, most notably George Eliot and Tennyson. This first fully annotated critical edition of Notes of a Son and Brother and The Middle Years both offers the reader extensive support in appreciating the demands of James’s late prose and illuminates the context in which one of literature’s most influential figures developed a characteristic voice.
Download or read book The Prodigal Son s Brother written by Valerie J. Russell and published by . This book was released on 2016-05-01 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Parable of the Prodigal Son is one of the most read and preached parables of our Lord Jesus Christ. This Parable focuses on The Father, His House and His two Sons. We know that the Father was a good man, for the scripture declares a good man leaves and inheritance for his children's children. Many who expound on this passage focus on The Son who prematurely took his inheritances, wasted it on riotous living, lost his "substance" and wound up in the Pig Pen Motel. Perhaps this is why this parable is called the "Parable of The Prodigal Son." Others focus on the Father and his relentless love for his son. The father who released the inheritance to his Son knowing that it was premature, the father who let his son leave without confrontation, the father who knew his son would return and actually ran out to meet him before he got back to the house, and the father who threw an elaborate party for his rebellious but now repentant son.However in this powerful presentation Pastor Valerie Russell focuses on The Prodigals Brother. Her spirit-led insights will captivate you and draw you closer into understanding the heart of God for all of His Children. After reading this book you will understand that God really does not play favorites and there is no need for believers to be envious or jealous of one another. You will learn that whose you are, is more important that who you are and that who you are, is more important that what you have. Finally you will come away with the understanding that because you are in the Father's house everything he has is yours, it always has been and it always will be.

Download or read book Your God is Too Glorious written by Chad Bird and published by New Reformation Publications. This book was released on 2023-11-14 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of us are regular people who have good days and bad days. Our lives are radically ordinary and unexciting. That means they're the kind of lives God gets excited about. While the world worships beauty and power and wealth, God hides his glory in the simple, the mundane, the foolish, working in unawesome people, things, and places.In our day of celebrity worship and online posturing, this is a refreshing, even transformative way of understanding God and our place in his creation. It urges us to treasure a life of simplicity, to love those whom the world passes by, to work for God's glory rather than our own. And it demonstrates that God has always been the Lord of the cross--a Savior who hides his grace in unattractive, inglorious places.Your God Is Too Glorious reminds readers that while a quiet life may look unimpressive to the world, it's the regular, everyday people that God tends to use to do his most important work.

Download or read book The Prodigal God written by Timothy Keller and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2008-10-30 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times bestselling author of The Prodigal Prophet uncovers the essential message of Jesus, locked inside his most familiar parable. Newsweek called renowned minister Timothy Keller "a C.S. Lewis for the twenty-first century" in a feature on his first book, The Reason for God. In that book, he offered a rational explanation of why we should believe in God. Now, in The Prodigal God, Keller takes his trademark intellectual approach to understanding Christianity and uses the parable of the prodigal son to reveal an unexpected message of hope and salvation. Within that parable Jesus reveals God's prodigal grace toward both the irreligious and the moralistic. This book will challenge both the devout and skeptics to see Christianity in a whole new way.
