Download or read book Of Wars and Morning Glories written by Helene Setjo-Heijblom and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2005-04 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A true story seen through the eyes of a young girl who had no time to be a child, as she and her father sidestepped the German invasion of Western Europe in World War II, only to end up in the middle of the Japanese invasion of the Netherlands East Indies. The earliest recollections are as a whisper of the past, but recall becomes crisp and sharp as tensions of war become etched in photographic memory. The accuracy of detail is supported by extensive research. A perplexing voyage from Belgium took them through warring France and on a mail-boat to Java. During the Japanese occupation, her father was taken to Kanchanaburi Thailand, and the Japanese army and later Indonesian terrorists imprisoned her, her mother, and her younger brother. Optimism of youth, a strong bond between her and her younger brother, friendships throughout, and the Morning Glories made it bearable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the absence of the preacher, Jim the elder was called to visit a woman who had lost her husband. She was desolate and was threatening to commit suicide! Jim was called by a mother of a child who attended the Sunday school. I went with him that morning. As we drove to this home, Jim was at a loss as to what he could do or say. This was something out of his realm of expertise! We had prayed before we left the house, but Jim was anxious! God was putting this woman's life in his hands! I picked up the Bible from the console and said, "Maybe I can find a verse that will help you!" I opened the Bible randomly, and a verse jumped right out at me. I read it to him, "For the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour, what you ought to say!" (Luke 12:12, NIV). As we pulled up in front of her house, Jim said, "Mark that page!" We quietly walked into this home. Jim was directed to the woman in need. He talked with her, prayed with her, and read the scriptures of comfort and encouragement. He was with her a long time! When the situation became calm, we took our leave, and the woman who contemplated suicide continued to live. We never heard if she made a place for the Lord in her life, but we knew that He had taken up permanent residence in ours! We felt it! We saw it! We were lifted by His might and encouraged to keep on keeping on. God is real!

Download or read book Morning Glory written by Samuel Charles Poteat III and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2015-11-09 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his book, Sam shares how God personally and radically intersects a persons life. When God enters our lives, it involves more than just a change in eternal destination, but also a vital transformation of the heart. After God initiates a faith relationship with Himself, He begins to teach us about Himself and how we are to relate to Him through His Word, through His Holy Spirit, and through everyday occurrences in the life of His child. In his book, Sam again and again relates to us how God works in our lives through the inspiration of His Word. Each devotion is about everyday experiences. Each one makes a specific application to Gods Word. The singular purpose of God in the life of His child is to conform us to the image of His Son. He accomplishes this as His Word is applied to our everyday lives. These devotions communicate to us the simplicity along with the profoundness of a loving Father manifesting His life and purposes to His child. Steve Poteat, pastor, Lake Martin Baptist Church

Download or read book Morning Glory Evening Shadow written by Gordon Chang and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 596 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has a dual purpose. The first is to present a biography of Yamato Ichihashi, a Stanford University professor who was one of the first academics of Asian ancestry in the United States. The second purpose is to present, through Ichihashi’s wartime writings, the only comprehensive first-person account of internment life by one of the 120,000 persons of Japanese ancestry who, in 1942, were sent by the U.S. government to “relocation centers,” the euphemism for prison camps. Arriving in the United States from Japan in 1894, when he was sixteen, Ichihashi attended public school in San Francisco, graduated from Stanford University, and received a doctorate from Harvard University. He began teaching at Stanford in 1913, specializing in Japanese history and government, international relations, and the Japanese American experience. He remained at Stanford until he and his wife, Kei, were forced to leave their campus home for a series of internment camps, where they remained until the closing days of the war.

Finding a faint thread of hope she can't resist tugging, Ivy records Anna's memoir, scribbling furiously after hours to keep up with the woman's emotion-packed, grace-hemmed stories. Is Ivy's answer buried in Anna's past? Becky, Ivy, Anna--three women fight a tangled vine of deception in search of the blossoming simplicity of truth.
Download or read book Morning Glory written by Linda Dahl and published by Pantheon. This book was released on 2012-09-19 with total page 665 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mary Lou Williams -- pianist, arranger, composer, and probably the most influential woman in the history of jazz -- receives the attention she has long deserved in the definitive biography by a leading scholar of women in jazz. The illegitimate child of an impoverished and indifferent mother, Williams began performing publicly at the age of seven when she became known admiringly in her native Pittsburgh as "the little piano girl of East Liberty," playing one day for the Mellons at bridge teas and the next in gambling dens where the hat was passed for change. She grew up with the jazz of the early part of the century, championed by the likes of Earl Hines and Fats Waller, yet unlike so many other musicians of her time, she was open to new forms in jazz -- she was an early champion of bop, and a mentor and colleague to its central figures, such as Thelonius Monk and Bud Powell -- and in broader musical styles as well (after her conversion to Catholicism, she wrote masses and other sacred music). Most of the other famous women in jazz -- Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald -- have been singers. Williams was instead a phenomenal pianist who performed solo, with small groups and big bands, in vaudeville and clubs, and on numerous records. But she is equally well known today as a composer and arranger of remarkable versatility and power, having worked with, among others, Duke Ellington and Benny Goodman. Her compositions have been recorded by artisits as varied as Marian McPartland, Dizzy Gillespie, Nat "King" Cole, Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, and herself -- and, more recently, by cutting-edge players Geri Allen and Dave Douglas. But Williams was more than "just a musician"; her interests were catholic in both senses, and she struggled to combine her love of music with her love of God. She was a tireless humanitarian, and made ongoing attempts to help dozens of down-and-out musicians; in the 1950s, her apartment was, at times, virtually a rehab. Though she was often in emotional despair, she found comfort for her many disappointments and hurts not only in her music but in her spirituality. Linda Dahl, granted unprecedented access to the large Williams archive, has given us the whole of Williams's very full life, from her often harrowing days on the road to her tumultuous marriages and love affairs, from the ups and downs of her unique fifty-year career to the remarkable spirituality that came to inform both her daily life and her music. This is a striking protrait of one of our least understood and most important musicians.

Book excerpt: From a newspaper article, circa 1900: ..".Many people regard the Claireborne Insane Asylum as their favorite building in Claireborne; it has soul, tranquility, and a brooding atmosphere, despite its grim early history. Reported causes for admission to the facility: disappointment, jealousy, menstrual irregularity, nostalgia, and religious excitement, brooding over sin, cigarette smoking, no desire to marry, fear of child-birth, fear of pregnancy, fright, hard-work, and nose bleed. The brooding 'water towers and chimneys' of that asylum warn against 'powers of resistance to our assault..."" Mix in some demonic possession, missing person, and you have a fine stew...
