Sassy and independent, confident and secure; growing up in the family business with her four brothers has taught Rae to be fearless, tough-minded, and not so easily intimidated-assets in their male-dominated profession. When her mother, both nurturer and friend-and the only oasis in this sea of testosterone, is suddenly killed, Rae's life is up-ended, leaving her wounded, confused and resentful toward God. But when a prank leaves her stranded far from home and the shelter of her dad and brothers, she learns she cannot run from Him for very long.Centered around church and family, Heath's life was ideal-or so he thought. Suddenly the rug was pulled out from under him when his wife wanted out. Left alone to care for his eight-month-old son, his heart and his life in pieces; moving back in with his mom and the group of elderly boarders who share her house, seemed the practical thing to do. But is he really just hiding-out?'For better or for worse'Andrea had made vows to God-who knew that 'worse' would come so early in their marriage and stay so long? When, after twenty-five years, Andrea is widowed, she purposes in her heart that she will eschew marriage and devote herself only to God-but is that His will for her? Our deepest hurts and disappointments: who can heal them? We promise ourselves we will never again allow ourselves to be hurt again hold back part-or all-of our heart from God. But in His mercy, God wants to heal our hurts and draw us close to Himself as He reveals to us His heart of love.

Download or read book Collected Nonfiction written by Mark Twain and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2020-09-15 with total page 1585 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These three travel memoirs by the beloved author of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn capture nineteenth-century life in America and beyond. Life on the Mississippi: Before Samuel Clemens became Mark Twain, he trained to be a Mississippi River steamboat pilot. Here Twain recounts his apprenticeship under legendary captain Horace Bixby, the dramatic fates of riverboat gamblers, and much more. Years later, as a passenger on a voyage from St. Louis to New Orleans, he witnesses the changes wrought by the Civil War and the steady advance of railroad transportation. The Innocents Abroad: Based on a series of letters first published in American newspapers, this is Twain’s hilarious and insightful account of an organized tour of Europe and the Holy Land, undertaken in 1867. With trademark satirical wit, he skewers the pretensions of Americans overseas and delights in tormenting local tour guides. First published in 1869, The Innocents Abroad made Twain a national celebrity and remains one of the bestselling travelogues of all time. Roughing It: In 1861, Twain joined his older brother on a stagecoach journey from Missouri to Carson City, Nevada. Having planned to be gone for only three months, he spent the next “six or seven years” exploring the great American frontier, from the Rocky Mountains to Hawaii. Along the way, he made and lost a theoretical fortune, danced in the finest hotels of San Francisco, and came to terms with freezing to death in a snow bank—only to discover, in the light of morning, that he was fifteen steps from a comfortable inn.

Kent Rasmussen and a foreword by Azar Nafisi, author of Reading Lolita in Tehran and The Republic of Imagination In recent years, neither the persistent effort to “clean up” the racial epithets in Mark Twain’s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn nor its consistent use in the classroom have diminished, highlighting the novel’s wide-ranging influence and its continued importance in American society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life on the Mississippi is Twain’s happiest book. Written early in his career, before the difficulties of his personal life had a chance to color his perception, and filled with reminiscent celebration of his time as a boy and man, as an apprentice and as a Mississippi steamboat pilot, it is a lively, affectionate tribute hardly muted by the fact that the world of the romantic pilots of the Mississippi had disappeared forever during the Civil War and the development of the railroads.

Download or read book rama and the dragon written by Idwār Kharrāṭ and published by American Univ in Cairo Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rama and the Dragon, a multi-layered novel about the depths of human experience and the struggle between polarities, on the surface presents a love story of unrequited passion between Rama -- the symbol of multiplicity and creativity -- and Mikhail -- the symbol of unity and constancy. Their story reflects the relationship not only between man and woman, Copt and Muslim, but also between Upper and Lower Egypt. Through a delicate grid of intertextual references and juxtaposed narratives, the dreams and hopes, fears and defeats of Rama and Mikhail move from the local to the global, corresponding to human dreams and anxieties everywhere. In this novel, Edwar al-Kharrat has created a unique form of narrative discourse in which he presents Egyptian realities and actualities of the 1960s and 1970s, with flashbacks to as early as the 1940s, in an aesthetic form that highlights historical moments while blending philosophical, mythical, and psychological perspectives in a literary parallel to the cinematic technique of montage. In their citation awarding al-Kharrat the Mahfouz Medal, the judges stated: ''Rama and the Dragon is considered a breakthrough in the literary history of modern Arabic fiction.''
