Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Selected by Today as a book "to ease kids’ anxiety about coronavirus.” We all need hope. Humans have an extraordinary capacity to battle through adversity, but only if they have something to cling onto: a belief or hope that maybe, one day, things will be better. This idea sparked The Great Realization. Sharing the truths we may find hard to tell but also celebrating the things—from simple acts of kindness and finding joy in everyday activities, to the creativity within us all—that have brought us together during lockdown, it gives us hope in this time of global crisis. Written for his younger brother and sister in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, Tomos Roberts’s heartfelt poem is as timely as it is timeless. Its message of hope and resilience, of rebirth and renewal, has captured the hearts of children and adults all over the globe—and the glimpse it offers of a fairer, kinder, more sustainable world continues to inspire thousands every day. With Tomos Roberts’s heartfelt poem and beautiful illustrations by award-winning artist Nomoco, The Great Realization is a profound work, at once striking and reassuring, reminding readers young and old that in the face of adversity there are still dreams to be dreamt and kindnesses to be shared and hope. There is still hope. We now call it The Great Realization and, yes, since then there have been many. But that’s the story of how it started . . . and why hindsight’s 2020.

Ask anyone who has ever spent time there as a student, traveler, or "townie," and they are likely to name several favorites in an instant. From debating the best place to celebrate or console on football Saturdays to deciding where to eat after the bars close, the choices have always sparked passionate conversation. In Ann Arbor, people are known to have strong feelings about the best places for pizza, coffee, beer, burgers, noodles, and burritos. Although many of the go-to hangouts are long gone, a surprising number still thrive. And there are always a few newcomers coming along to win the hearts of the next generation of diners, nibblers, and noshers. Some are fine restaurants and taverns, and others are lunch counters, diners, carry-outs, and drive-ins--but in each and every case, they are unique and together make up a collection of iconic local eateries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many people think of the Bible as a confused mixture of entries, episodes, characters, and commands. Sixty-six books, written by some thirty authors, scattered over a period of roughly 1,500 years, including virtually every genre known to man. Clearly, the Bible consists of many parts. Yet, it communicates a metanarrative, one great story, the drama of redemption. And when we understand this story, and find our place within it, it brings us unparalleled purpose and hope.

Download or read book Robert Kirkman written by Terrence R. Wandtke and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2021-07-29 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert Kirkman (b. 1978) is probably best known as the creator of The Walking Dead. The comic book and its television adaptation have reinvented the zombie horror story, transforming it from cult curiosity and parody to mainstream popularity and critical acclaim. In some ways, this would be enough to justify this career-spanning collection of interviews. Yet Kirkman represents much more than this single comic book title. Kirkman’s story is a fanboy’s dream that begins with him financing his irreverent, independent comic book Battle Pope with credit cards. After writing major titles with Marvel comics (Spider-Man, Captain America, and X-Men), Kirkman rejected companies like DC and Marvel and publicly advocated for creator ownership as the future of the comics industry. As a partner at Image, Kirkman wrote not only The Walking Dead but also Invincible, a radical reinvention of the superhero genre. Robert Kirkman: Conversations gives insight to his journey and explores technique, creativity, collaboration, and the business of comics as a multimedia phenomenon. For instance, while continuing to write genre-based comics in titles like Outcast and Oblivion Song, Kirkman explains his writerly bias for complex characters over traditional plot development. As a fan-turned-creator, Kirkman reveals a creator’s complex relationship with fans in a comic-con era that breaks down the consumer/producer dichotomy. And after rejecting company-ownership practices, Kirkman articulates a vision of the creator-ownership model and his goal of organic creativity at Skybound, his multimedia company. While Stan Lee was the most prominent comic book everyman of the previous era of comics production, Kirkman is the most prominent comic book everyman of this dynamic, evolving new era.
Download or read book The Way of Kings written by Nathan Clarkson and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2022-04-26 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's man is in an identity crisis. With a never-ending barrage of confusing, condescending, and condemning voices telling him who he is and who he isn't, it can feel impossible to discover who he was made to be. Men were made to be kings, to protect the light, fight the darkness, and rule well the domain God has given them. But to be a good king, men must act in the likeness of the King. Drawing on the ancient tradition of an older and wiser ruler passing on his wisdom, like Solomon in the book of Proverbs, Nathan Clarkson offers young men 40 short and to-the-point letters for the journey. Packed with practical, biblically based advice on real-life issues, this book helps men base their identity not in who the world says they should be but in who their King says they can be. For the modern man looking to live out a greater story, The Way of Kings offers ancient wisdom rooted in sacred Scripture to help him discover who he was created to be.
Download or read book How to Preach and Teach the Old Testament for All Its Worth written by Christopher J. H. Wright and published by Zondervan Academic. This book was released on 2016-04-19 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many preachers ignore preaching from the Old Testament because they feel it is outdated in light of the New Testament and difficult to expound. On the other hand, some preachers will preach from the Old Testament frequently but fail to handle it correctly, turning it into moralistic rules or symbolic lessons for our spiritual life. In How to Preach and Teach the Old Testament for All Its Worth, Christopher J. H. Wright proclaims that preachers must not ignore the Old Testament. It is the Word of God! The Old Testament lays the foundation for our faith and it was the Bible that Jesus read and used. Looking first at why we should preach from the Old Testament, the author moves on to show the reader how they can preach from it. Covering the History, Law, Prophets, Psalms, and Wisdom Literature, interspersed with practical checklists, exercises, and sermons, Wright provides an essential guide on how to handle the Old Testament responsibly.
Download or read book Surpassing Peace written by Linda Gottschalk and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-07-14 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Go home, you did enough.” I looked at him as my adrenalin rose up. I spoke, “Oh no, that is not how this goes. We came to fight. You are going to fight from where you are, and I am going to fight on my knees over there. I will not leave you.” He cried and turned away. I walked away. ***** They took me in with him. I was his voice because he no longer had one. It felt so cold, strange, and eerily quiet in there. I had to sign his papers there in that place. I felt I was signing him off. Gut-wrenching—that is what that is. ***** Before I could answer, he said, “Is he your brother, and is he homeless?” I smiled and said, “He’s my friend, like a brother. He’s homeless, and I do this because I love him.” To that he said, “This is some kind of love.” ***** When life is on the line, each breath of life becomes very real. Options run out, and grasping for control is futile because when our time is up, it’s up. We spend most of our lives wrestling with this reality. Life doesn’t always play out the way we plan for it, and we really do a lot of planning, don’t we? When that ugly thing shows up and takes our breath away, we are faced with a reality that is mind-bending and heart-wrenching. What are we to do? We get to choose. What will we do? Can we know before that unthinkable thing happens? It haunts us because it’s daunting to the core. When dying is a real possibility, what should one expect? What does one hope for? What does one think about? I was about to find out. It’s wasn’t like in the movies. It was quiet. Time stood still, and our eyes did a lot of the talking. I recall saying, “I am not exactly sure what the doctor means, but I think I know.” My hubby just shook his head yes as we looked at each other through FaceTime on our phones. I was getting tired. I couldn’t feel my legs, but they were there because I had to touch them to believe it. My husband and my baby girls flashed through my mind. Our lives, our laughter, and our long talks and walks. This true story is a portrait of human frailty and the reality of this life filled with disruptions and interruptions beyond our control. It’s daunting and filled with authentic fear replaced by unspeakable peace in the journey. It is filled with humor in the hard and trauma that shows up uninvited. It’s a beautiful walk in the depths of agony and struggle colliding with an overcoming peace that paralyzes one’s ability to reason. It’s a journey, an adventure; it’s chaotic and calm. It’s worth sharing with a world that hands out the hard stuff. May you find this power-packed peace in the midst of the real hard stuff too.
