Book excerpt: "In a green town in the middle of America, a bright 18-year-old Hispanic student named Isaias Ramos sets out on the journey to college. Isaias, who passed a prestigious national calculus test as a junior and leads the quiz bowl team, is the hope of Kingsbury High in Memphis, a school where many students have difficulty reading. But Kingsbury's dysfunction, expensive college fees, and forms printed in a language that's foreign to his parents are all obstacles in the way of getting him to a university. Isaias also doubts the value of college and says he might go to work in his family's painting business after high school, despite his academic potential. Is Isaias making a rational choice? Or does he simply hope to avoid pain by deferring dreams that may not come to fruition? This is what journalist Daniel Connolly attempts to uncover in The Book of Isaias as he follows Isaias, peers into a tumultuous final year of high school, and, eventually, shows how adults intervene in the hopes of changing Isaias' life. Mexican immigration has brought the proportion of Hispanics in the nation's youth population to roughly one in four. Every day, children of immigrants make decisions about their lives that will shape our society and economy for generations.

Book excerpt: A profound exploration of how to hold on to hope when our unchanging faith collides with a changing culture, from two respected Christian storytellers and thought leaders. “Offers neither spin control nor image maintenance for the evangelical tribe, but genuine hope.”—Russell Moore, president of ERLC As the pressures of health warnings, economic turmoil, and partisan politics continue to rise, the influence of gospel-focused Christians seems to be waning. In the public square and popular opinion, we are losing our voice right when it’s needed most for Christ’s glory and the common good. But there’s another story unfolding too—if you know where to look. In Gospelbound, Collin Hansen and Sarah Eekhoff Zylstra counter these growing fears with a robust message of resolute hope for anyone hungry for good news. Join them in exploring profound stories of Christians who are quietly changing the world in the name of Jesus—from the wild world of digital media to the stories of ancient saints and unsung contemporary activists on the frontiers of justice and mercy. Discover how, in these dark times, the light of Jesus shines even brighter. You haven’t heard the whole story. And that’s good news.

Download or read book The Catholic Controversy written by Saint Francis de Sales and published by Aeterna Press. This book was released on 2015-09-01 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE FOLLOWING TREATISE is the message or teaching of S. Francis de Sales to the Calvinists of the Chablais, reluctantly written out because they would not go to hear him preach. The Saint neither published it nor named it. We have called it “The Catholic Controversy,” partly to make our title correspond as nearly as possible with the title “Les Controverses,” given by the French editor when the work was posthumously published, chiefly because its scope is to state and justify the Catholic doctrine as against Calvin and his fellow-heretics. It is the Catholic position and the defense of Catholicism as such. At the same time it is incidentally the defense of Christianity, because his justification of Catholicism lies just in this that it alone is Christianity and his argument turns entirely on the fundamental question of the exclusive authority of the Catholic Church as the sole representative of Christianity and Christ.

Download or read book A PORTRAIT OF THE ARTIST AS A YOUNG MAN Awakening of Stephen Dedalus written by James Joyce and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2023-12-07 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This carefully crafted ebook: "A PORTRAIT OF THE ARTIST AS A YOUNG MAN (Awakening of Stephen Dedalus)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is the first novel of Irish writer James Joyce. An artist's novel in a modernist style traces the religious and intellectual awakening of young Stephen Dedalus, a fictional alter ego of Joyce and an allusion to Daedalus, the consummate craftsman of Greek mythology. Stephen questions and rebels against the Catholic and Irish conventions under which he has grown, culminating in his self-exile from Ireland to Europe. The work uses techniques that Joyce developed more fully in Ulysses and Finnegans Wake. A Portrait began life in 1903 as Stephen Hero—a projected autobiographical novel in a realistic style. After 25 chapters, Joyce abandoned Stephen Hero in 1907 and set to reworking its themes and protagonist into a condensed five-chapter novel, dispensing with strict realism and making extensive use of free indirect speech that allows the reader to peer into Stephen's developing consciousness. James Joyce (1882-1941) was an Irish novelist and poet, considered to be one of the most influential writers in the modernist avant-garde of the early 20th century. Joyce is best known for Ulysses, a landmark work in which the episodes of Homer's Odyssey are paralleled in an array of contrasting literary styles, perhaps most prominent among these the stream of consciousness technique he utilized.
Download or read book Stephen Hero A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man Two Autobiographical Novels written by James Joyce and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2024-01-10 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James Joyce's 'Stephen Hero & A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man' presents a unique insight into the development of a young artist's mind. The two novels follow the character Stephen Dedalus on his journey of self-discovery, struggling with the conflicts of religion, nationality, and artistic ambition. Joyce's intricate and stream-of-consciousness style of writing adds depth to the narrative, making it a challenging yet rewarding read for those interested in modernist literature. Set against the backdrop of early 20th century Ireland, these novels provide a glimpse into the psyche of a young man coming to terms with his place in the world. James Joyce, known for his experimental and innovative storytelling techniques, drew inspiration from his own life experiences to create these compelling autobiographical novels. His intricate attention to detail and rich character development showcase his mastery of the craft, solidifying his place in the literary canon as a groundbreaking genius. I highly recommend 'Stephen Hero & A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man' to readers who appreciate complex narratives, introspective exploration, and profound philosophical insights. These novels are a must-read for anyone looking to delve into the intricacies of the human psyche and the journey of self-discovery.
