Along with period photos, the author shows us the sod house in Nebraska where his mother was born, the frame house of his childhood, the production houses he built in the San Fernando Valley, and the Habitat for Humanity homes he devotes his time to now. It's an engaging read written by a veteran builder with a thoughtful awareness of what was intrinsic to home building in the past and the many ways it has evolved.

Download or read book Carpenter s Gothic written by William Gaddis and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1999-03-01 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This story of raging comedy and despair centers on the tempestuous marriage of an heiress and a Vietnam veteran. From their "carpenter gothic" rented house, Paul sets himself up as a media consultant for Reverend Ude, an evangelist mounting a grand crusade that conveniently suits a mining combine bidding to take over an ore strike on the site of Ude's African mission. At the still center of the breakneck action--revealed in Gaddis's inimitable virtuoso dialoge—is Paul's wife, Liz, and over it all looms the shadowy figure of McCandless, a geologist from whom Paul and Liz rent their house. As Paul mishandles the situation, his wife takes the geologist to her bed and a fire and aborted assassination occur; Ude issues a call to arms as harrowing as any Jeremiad--and Armageddon comes rapidly closer. Displaying Gaddis's inimitable virtuoso dialogue, and his startling treatments of violence and sexuality, Carpenter's Gothic "shows again that Gaddis is among the first rank of contemporary American writers" (Malcolm Bradbury, The Washington Post Book World).

Download or read book Why Karen Carpenter Matters written by Karen Tongson and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2019-06-01 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the '60s and '70s, America's music scene was marked by raucous excess, reflected in the tragic overdoses of young superstars such as Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin. At the same time, the uplifting harmonies and sunny lyrics that propelled Karen Carpenter and her brother, Richard, to international fame belied a different sort of tragedy—the underconsumption that led to Karen's death at age thirty-two from the effects of an eating disorder. In Why Karen Carpenter Matters, Karen Tongson (whose Filipino musician parents named her after the pop icon) interweaves the story of the singer’s rise to fame with her own trans-Pacific journey between the Philippines—where imitations of American pop styles flourished—and Karen Carpenter’s home ground of Southern California. Tongson reveals why the Carpenters' chart-topping, seemingly whitewashed musical fantasies of "normal love" can now have profound significance for her—as well as for other people of color, LGBT+ communities, and anyone outside the mainstream culture usually associated with Karen Carpenter’s legacy. This hybrid of memoir and biography excavates the destructive perfectionism at the root of the Carpenters’ sound, while finding the beauty in the singer's all too brief life.
Download or read book In a Carpenter s Overall written by Ishmael Angelo and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2006-01-20 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The foundation of religion is a true idea of God. It is upon this idea of the Divine that all doctrines ultimately rest. Christianity affirms the existence of three Divine persons in the one God the Father, the Son, and Holy Spirit. This is an erroneous concept that has been uncritically embraced in the Roman, Orthodox, and Protestant Churches. The idea of a triumvirate of Divine persons has had disastrous consequences for mankind. It spawned the doctrine of the atonement that interprets the Crucifixion in terms of a human sacrifice for sin, a propitiation by the Son to a wrathful Father whose sense of justice demanded punishment for sin. As a direct consequence of the widespread acceptance of this preposterous doctrine, Christianity inevitable acquired the status of a do-nothing religion, the gods having done it all for man who is justified, that is, declared righteous by mere faith in the atoning death of Jesus. The result has been the emasculation of the Christian Faith and the erosion of genuine spirituality, as no serious effort is mad towards a reformation of character through the renunciation of evil. In A Carpenter's Overall affirms the existence of one God who incarnated in the person of Jesus Christ, in whom resided the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit one God in one Divine person. In the words of Paul, In him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.' Colossians 2:9 Having established that the Jesus of the New Testament is the very I AM THAT I AM' of the Old Testament, the idea of the Crucifixion as a human sacrifice for sin is examined and shown to be unscriptural, unnecessary, and utterly blasphemous. The doctrine of instant salvation justification by faith is refuted, repentance and the renunciation of evil being the only means whereby salvation can be attained. A true idea of the Divine is affirmed, one God whose very nature is centered infinite love and compassion for the human race, and who enfleshed Himself, entering into the dimensions of space and time in response to the demands of this unfathomable love. In A Carpenter's Overall is based on the revelations of Emanuel Swedenborg, the eminent 18th century scientist-turned-theologian and revelator, the sleeping giant in the bosom of Christianity waiting to be discovered. And the most fascinating part of the book is the 138 quotations from his theological works, classified under 20 subject-headings in Appendix V. These quotations are utterly sublime and make an excellent introduction to the Writings, the name applied to Swedenborg's 30 volumes of theological exposition God's glorious gift to the human race, divinely inspired as the Old Testament and the New. In the Writings is the Second Coming of the Lord.
Download or read book Teaching the World to Shell Peas written by Rev. R. L. Phillips and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2012-03 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surely, God did not allow African Americans to experience oppression for over four hundred years just for us to dwell in an exclusive neighborhood, acquire material possessions, attain middle class status, or be a famous black first. African Americans are not in America to imitate our white brothers and sisters. Our situation is unique. We are insiders and outsiders, Americans and of African descent, free and unfree. We are a split people seeking wholeness. By bringing new insights into the life of African Americans, Rev. Phillips uses a number of case studies of his former high school students to reveal the severity of the split in the life of the students and their community at large. He contends that if we do not attain true wholeness, our unresolved conflicts would harm us psychologically and spiritually, which in turn could detrimentally affect us socially, politically and economically. Many have already become hopeless and mentally challenged. Our educational and social problems are troublesome. Despite our progress in America, many are still experiencing a meaningless life and are seeking answers. How can one attain wholeness in a materialistic and black phobic world? Rev. Phillips takes us on an engaging journey to discover the answer.

Together with Nick, the autistic child they adopt, they must discover how the nearby Priory is trying to discredit Lord William de Braose, the baron for whom Gervase works.
