Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first picture book that the award-winning Sydney Smith has both written and illustrated is a story about feeling small in the city — and finding your way home. On a snowy day in a big city, a little boy hops off a streetcar and walks through downtown, between office buildings, through parks and down busy streets. Along the way, he provides helpful tips about which alleys make good shortcuts, which trees to climb and where to find a friendly face. All the while, the boy searches for what he has lost ... The first book that award-winning illustrator Sydney Smith has written tells a story of what it means to get lost in the city, travel the wrong path and get caught in bad weather — and to ultimately find your way back home. His beautiful watercolour illustrations alternate between full spreads and small panels, evoking the sometimes overwhelming cacophony of urban sights and sounds, as well as the quiet moments that make all of us feel less small in the city.

Download or read book Sydney Anglicans and the Threat to World Anglicanism written by Dr Muriel Porter and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-06-28 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sydney Anglicans, always ultra-conservative in terms of liturgy, theology and personal morality, have increasingly modelled themselves on sixteenth century English Puritanism. Over the past few decades, they have added radical congregationalism to the mix. They have altered church services, challenged church order, and relentlessly opposed all attempts to ordain women as priests, let alone bishops. Muriel Porter unpacks how Australia's largest and, until recently, richest diocese developed its ideological fervour, and explores the impact it is having both in Australia and the Anglican Communion.
Download or read book Residual Effect written by Sydney Porter and published by . This book was released on 2019-12-04 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relaxed morality of Bourbon Street in the 1990's is the backdrop for her story. A homecoming of sorts for this bohemian beauty with the mouth of a longshoreman. Embraced by the lifestyle of the French Quarter, she fit in as if she had always been there. No longer a need to accommodate the norm, she could blossom..Armed with street wisdom and quick wit, she was able to explore different avenues of expression. The fulfillment of unspoken desire was at her threshold. Tattooing her soul. Leaving a residual effect. WHAT THEY'RE SAYING: It is in more than one way very different from what one expects from a romance. It has much more depth in the characters and their interactions. A very mature book with an intense story.I love this book of yours. Been thinking about your characters all day.Started your book yesterday afternoon and couldn't stop reading til around 11PM. I'm usually lights out by 9:30/10. Such great character development.I felt like I was back in New Orleans. A rollercoaster ride of a story. VERY STEAMY.Porter spins a superb tale by weaving seemingly unrelated stories and events and allows each to cone together by use of sharp dialog along with vivid and sometimes graphic descriptions.

Book excerpt: Muriel assumes her family is too poor to hold a Passover Seder this year--but an act of kindness and a mysterious magician change everything. It's the Spring of 1933 in Washington D.C., and the Great Depression is hitting young Muriel's family hard. Her father has lost his job, and her family barely has enough food most days, let alone for a Passover Seder. They don't even have any wine to leave out for the prophet Elijah's ceremonial cup. With no feast to rush home to, Muriel wanders by the Lincoln Memorial, where she encounters a mysterious magician in whose hands juggled eggs become lit candles. After she makes a kind gesture, he encourages her to run home for her Seder, and when she does, she encounters a holiday miracle, a bountiful feast of brisket, soup, and matzah. But who was this mysterious benefactor? When Muriel sees Elijah's ceremonial cup is empty, she has a good idea. This fresh retelling of the classic I.L. Peretz story, best known through Uri Shulevitz's 1973 adaptation The Magician, has been sumptuously illustrated by noted graphic novelist Sean Rubin, who based his art on photographs of D.C. in the 1930s. An author note with information about the holiday is included.
