Book excerpt: From a bestselling women’s fiction author, an “absorbing” novel about a divorced single mother struggling to forgive her estranged father before he dies. (The Daily Mail) “Master storyteller” (Cosmopolitan) Rosie Thomas returns with an affecting novel of the complexities of family and the sacrifices we make for the ones we love. Sadie's life is calm and complete. She is a mother, a good friend, and the robust survivor of a marriage she deliberately left behind. She has come to believe that she has everything she wants and deserves. But now her father is dying―the elusive man who spent his life creating exquisite perfumes for other women is slipping away from her, and Sadie must try to make her peace with him before it’s too late. As Sadie confronts the truth about her father, who often ignored her as he pursued his separate life, her relationship with her son Jack also appears to be breaking down. Intent on salvaging her relationships with both son and father, her seemingly perfect life unravels from both ends. Then the arrival of an ephemeral woman from her father's past sets off a chain reaction of events that even Sadie cannot control. “Thomas masterfully juggles a large cast of characters with sensitivity and a great deal of empathy.” —Booklist “Thomas’s novels are beautifully written.” —Marie Claire

Richard Ganton has created a cast of characters and a series of events that will engage, entertain, and challenge readers to consider their own biases and prejudices. John Jeremiah is a seven-foot-tall gentle giant studying for the ministry at Princeton Theological Seminary. The son of a pro-football player, he has a big reputation to live up to. At the same time, he’s a deep thinker and genuinely caring man, and he quickly becomes the de facto chaplain of his residence, dealing with issues in creative yet effective ways. He carries his own burdens, however, birthed from an accident on the football field that saw his best friend injured and subsequently confined to a wheelchair. John carries this “demon” with him into the ministry, where he also confronts new challenges. Mr. Ganton provides his audience with a look into prejudice in the church when John, a Black man, takes a position with a White congregation in Atlanta as the college and careers pastor. Although he meets with resistance, he thrives, and in time he takes on the gangs of the city with the love of God. Finding love for himself in the process, John allows God to mold him and refine him for His purposes.

Download or read book Hands of My Father written by Myron Uhlberg and published by Bantam. This book was released on 2009-02-03 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By turns heart-tugging and hilarious, Myron Uhlberg’s memoir tells the story of growing up as the hearing son of deaf parents—and his life in a world that he found unaccountably beautiful, even as he longed to escape it. “Does sound have rhythm?” my father asked. “Does it rise and fall like the ocean? Does it come and go like the wind?” Such were the kinds of questions that Myron Uhlberg’s deaf father asked him from earliest childhood, in his eternal quest to decipher, and to understand, the elusive nature of sound. Quite a challenge for a young boy, and one of many he would face. Uhlberg’s first language was American Sign Language, the first sign he learned: “I love you.” But his second language was spoken English—and no sooner did he learn it than he was called upon to act as his father’s ears and mouth in the stores and streets of the neighborhood beyond their silent apartment in Brooklyn. Resentful as he sometimes was of the heavy burdens heaped on his small shoulders, he nonetheless adored his parents, who passed on to him their own passionate engagement with life. These two remarkable people married and had children at the absolute bottom of the Great Depression—an expression of extraordinary optimism, and typical of the joy and resilience they were able to summon at even the darkest of times. From the beaches of Coney Island to Ebbets Field, where he watches his father’s hero Jackie Robinson play ball, from the branch library above the local Chinese restaurant where the odor of chow mein rose from the pages of the books he devoured to the hospital ward where he visits his polio-afflicted friend, this is a memoir filled with stories about growing up not just as the child of two deaf people but as a book-loving, mischief-making, tree-climbing kid during the remarkably eventful period that spanned the Depression, the War, and the early fifties. From the Hardcover edition.

This book was released on 2021-06-01 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible unveils many facets of God.

This book is a study on the Father’s love. Our understanding of God’s love for us affects how we love God, how we love ourselves, and how we love others. God, our Father in heaven, loves us unconditionally and immeasurably. The greatest expression and demonstration of the Father’s love for us is the Cross of Jesus Christ. When we know, believe, receive, and rest in the Father’s love for us, everything changes. We are healed, made whole and set free from all our brokenness and bondages. When we live out of the Father’s love we love as we are loved. We love God freely. We love others freely. We live as more than conquerors, those who have more than vanquished all of life’s challenges and the powers of darkness, through the unbreakable love of God. This book is for YOU!
