Download or read book LOVE LETTERS FROM THE BATTLE OF OKINAWA written by Everett Ware Smith and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2024-09-18 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Marine Corps Officer, Everett Smith, served overseas for nearly three years including 1944 and 1945 in the Pacific Theater. Eighty years after the unconditional surrender of Imperial Japan ended WW II, the massive conflict that engulfed every corner of the planet is increasingly a distance memory. Its toll on an entire generation in lost and maimed lives and destruction of entire cities has faded into the history books. While the conclusion of the European war was being celebrated with VE Day on May 8, 1945, U.S. armed forces were still engaged in a vicious battle against Japanese combatants on Okinawa Island. By early August, preparations code named Operation Downfall were well underway for a massive invasion of Japan’s mainland islands. Everett expected to participate in that final campaign and privately believed he would not survive it. For military personnel serving overseas, letters from loved ones were critical lifelines. This book is a compilation of letters Everett wrote to his wife. In them, he describes the battle’s progression (censured), his dreams for their future together, and especially his love for Ruth during their many months of separation

Download or read book Emery s Mansion written by Paul A. Lavallee and published by Author House. This book was released on 2007-08-23 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul A. Lavallee is a romantic when writing or talking about small town New England. He is an occasional contributor to a weekly newspaper publication, writing on local issues as well as timely articles of interest. He was born and still lives in the heart of the Blackstone River Valley, where Americas industrial revolution began. A Marine veteran of the Korean War, Mr. Lavallees recollection of growing up in a small mill town during the war years of the 1940s, along with his later experiences at Parris Island, and then in war-ravaged Korea in the 1950s, all tended to inspire him to write his first novel, Rattle of the Looms. That novel was and still is so well received that a sequel seemed imperative. Thus comes the revisiting of the old mill town, Northcross, along with the eeriness of Emery Sibleys mansion, the few vaguely familiar faces over at Felix Morrells bar, as well as the folks who happen to be still around town in 1982, twenty-eight years after the close of the original novel that ended in 1954.

Download or read book The Rise of the Nones written by James Emery White and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2014-04-29 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The single fastest growing religious group of our time is those who check the box next to the word none on national surveys. In America, this is 20 percent of the population. Exactly who are the unaffiliated? What caused this seismic shift in our culture? Are our churches poised to reach these people? James Emery White lends his prophetic voice to one of the most important conversations the church needs to be having today. He calls churches to examine their current methods of evangelism, which often result only in transfer growth--Christians moving from one church to another--rather than in reaching the "nones." The pastor of a megachurch that is currently experiencing 70 percent of its growth from the unchurched, White knows how to reach this growing demographic, and here he shares his ministry strategies with concerned pastors and church leaders.

Download or read book The Luminaries written by Eleanor Catton and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2013-10-15 with total page 860 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The winner of the Man Booker Prize, this "expertly written, perfectly constructed" bestseller (The Guardian) is now a Starz miniseries. It is 1866, and Walter Moody has come to stake his claim in New Zealand's booming gold rush. On the stormy night of his arrival, he stumbles across a tense gathering of 12 local men who have met in secret to discuss a series of unexplained events: a wealthy man has vanished, a prostitute has tried to end her life, and an enormous cache of gold has been discovered in the home of a luckless drunk. Moody is soon drawn into a network of fates and fortunes that is as complex and exquisitely ornate as the night sky. Richly evoking a mid-nineteenth-century world of shipping, banking, and gold rush boom and bust, The Luminaries is at once a fiendishly clever ghost story, a gripping page-turner, and a thrilling novelistic achievement. It richly confirms that Eleanor Catton is one of the brightest stars in the international literary firmament.
