Download or read book Muddy Water written by Al Tysick and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2024-05-30 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lifetime on Canada’s streets results in vivid stories ranging from despair to humor to hope. Voices of street people are seldom found in print, yet homelessness, addiction, mental illness, poverty, and other factors are major issues today. As a minister of the United Church of Canada, Rev. Al Tysick deals with the entire range of human experience in this unique volume that helps us to understand street life. Evocative drawings by artist Elfrida Schragen enhance and extend the informal style of the text, weaving art into the varied encounters on the street. The long-detrimental effects of Canada’s residential schools highlight why so many street people have Indigenous heritage. The often positive and powerful aspects of that heritage are featured in many stories. This book helps readers to understand why we must free ourselves from every vestige of colonialism, racism, sexism, and any other aspect of institutions that enable inequality, injustice, and poverty. We must move from living in the ego to living for all our citizens.

Download or read book Grimes Creek written by Arthur G. Milton and published by Magic-Quill Publishing. This book was released on 2011-09-07 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jennie Lester thought the stranger she met on the trail close to Grimes Creek was the handsomest man she had ever seen. But the more she learned of Flint Weldon, suspicion and distrust invaded her thoughts. It was 1875 in the Idaho Territory and cattle rustling had begun. Was it the renegade Indians who were murdering and scalping families, or a band of rustlers using the Indian raids as a cover? Was Flint a part of the rustling? He was able to make many improvements to his ranch with no visible means of income. Flint told Jennie it was from the coyote bounties he was collecting, but how many coyotes could there be? Was he involved in the National Bank of Idaho robbery too? Was her neighbor, an old widow woman, participating in it somehow? Jennie’s near escape of having her own scalp lifted increased her fear and distrust of everyone. Her mother’s recent death left her with no one she could confide in. She loved Flint but his behavior led her to believe he was withholding something. The story of Grimes Creek is one of love, suspicion and action. It is filled with realistic characters who could have lived in the Idaho Territory. Grimes Creek, Idaho City, and Boise City all are factual places. The bank and businesses are factual as well. The story is woven around the tumultuous settling of the west and its inherent dangers.

Download or read book Told Rush written by Brett Babbitt and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2018-11-19 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why TOLD RUSH? Ever wonder why people like me who claim paranormal abilities go public? I think the number one reason is that we have proven to ourselves that there is something else out there that no one can fully explain. My whole life is full of odd happenings, but initially I was very secretive and tried to explain nothing. Over the last few years, I have developed an overwhelming urge to tell people or at least entertain them even though some of my experiences are unexplainable. Some photos have no provenance unless me talking to dead people in dreams is great provenance. I risk facing complete ridicule, but when I pass away and head toward the afterlife heaven and I speak to people involved in my book, I can always say, "I did what you wanted me to do! I was your dead person reporter, and I hopefully was a janitor of the Wild West!"
Download or read book The Man Who Walked out of the Pages of History I written by Daniel Masias and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2016-07-22 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Likewise, because mankind has no idea that extremely advanced godlike entities live on the sun, man does not truly understand nature. Theres no doubt that these entities have, over a couple billion years, engineered the Earths physical environment. We know this environment as nature and specifically clouds. The water from clouds, combined with solar energy, has given rise to life on the Earth through photosynthesis and other processes. The Websters Dictionary describes clouds as A visible expanse of suspended droplets of water or ice particles in the air. Because of the highly advanced entities scientific work on Earth for the last two billion years, clouds are really floating geometric crystalline, highly advanced entities. These ghostly hydrogen gas cities of the skies are directly related to the Sun. Their waste products of crystal snow and water have given rise to life as we know it on Earth. This process has allowed human life to thrive, but roadblocks and firewalls have also been placed on mankinds knowledge. One of these restrictions has been demonstrated when Albert Einstein failed to discover the unified field theory.

Download or read book A Walk by the Sea written by John Brant Chatterton and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2016-09-19 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The British coast is where journeys begin and where journeys end, where sun rises and where sun sets.” In John Chatterton’s A Walk by the Sea, John tells the story of his journey from Land’s End to circumnavigate an island with a longer coastline than France or India with an infinite variety of landscapes, seascapes and cultures. After having always wanted to walk the coastline of Great Britain and returning to normality after the foot and mouth epidemic was declared over in 2001, John started his epic journey around Great Britain. He quickly realised that this was not just a walk, and this book is certainly not a walker’s handy guidebook to the periphery of Blake’s ‘green and pleasant land,’ but something much deeper and meaningful. For John, walking gets the most out of travel, but this was a ‘journey’ not a walk. The journey is a reflection of Britain in the first millennium of the 21st century - its events its places and its people. Walking, unlike other forms of travel, allows time for expansion of thoughts and ideas, and reflections on life and times. This journey uses Britain as a backdrop to explore philosophical, social, political, geographical and cultural issues that spring to mind on the way. Although these thoughts and ideas are physically separate from the journey, John explains how they are also a deeply intrinsic part of it too. “A Walk by the Sea is much more than a usual guidebook but, instead, is a psycho-geographical journey around the Great British coastline in thefirst decade of the new millennium,” comments John.
Download or read book Sweetbitter written by Reginald Gibbons and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2003-02-01 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award “Reginald Gibbons’s first novel takes place in east Texas in 1910 during the time of white rule—not by law but by lynch mob. Amid the suffocating racism and fear, half-Choctaw, half-white Reuben Sweetbitter and Martha Clarke, a white woman, fall in love. . . . Reuben and Martha’s love is strong, but, dishearteningly, racism is stronger. Timely in the subject of interracial love, this authentic, richly -detailed novel plumbs sacrifice, fear, and the loss of one’s identity, bringing the -anguish of the two young lovers to life. Highly recommended.”—Library Journal “Far more than a spellbinding love story . . . a novel wide and deep in its understanding. . . . An unforgettable story, a remarkable piece of work.”—Dallas Morning News “I love this novel: it sings, it soars. Simultaneously deft and deep, it brings a lost world back to brilliant light.”—Andrea Barrett “Surprising in every way. . . . The novel’s ending is as strong as its beginning—terrifying and beautiful, a true tour de force.”—Chicago Tribune
Download or read book Water Logic written by Laurie J. Marks and published by Small Beer Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By water logic, a cow doctor becomes a politician. A soldier becomes a flower farmer. A lost book contains a lost future. The patterns of history are made and unmade. Amid assassinations, rebellions, and the pyres of too many dead, a new government forms in the land of Shaftal--a government of soldiers and farmers, scholars and elemental talents, all weary of war and longing for peace. But some cannot forget their losses, and some cannot imagine a place for themselves in an enemy land. Before memory, before recorded history, something happened that now must be remembered. Zanja na'Tarwein, the crosser of boundaries, born in fire and wedded to earth, has fallen under the ice. Now, by water logic, the logic of patterns repeated, of laughter and music, the lost must be found--or the found may forever be lost. Laurie J. Marks teaches at the University of Massachusetts Boston. She is the author of five previous novels, and her first two Elemental Logic novels (Fire Logic and Earth Logic) won the Gaylactic Spectrum Award and received multiple starred reviews. She is a recipient of the Fairy Godmother Award (James D. Tiptree, Jr. Award) and a founding member of Broad Universe.
