Lords of the earth by don richardson5/24/2023 Redemption itself rests solely on Christ's atoning self-sacrifice. By the way, redemptive analogies are redemptive only in the sense of facilitating understanding as a lead-up to redemption. His teaching and writing ministry has spread internationally and continues to this day.ĭon's books, Peace Child, Eternity in their Hearts and Lords of the Earth were the first mission books I ever read and profoundly influenced me as I began my own time as a missionary in Croatia.Ī redemptive analogy is something within a culture - a custom, ritual, tradition or story - that is cherished by the people in that culture but also anticipates an aspect of redemption provided in Jesus Christ.

The landscape that Peter Rabbit first introduced to us in 1902 is still today one of Beatrix Potter's most popular and well-loved worlds. It turned out that the real tailor's assistants were his apprentices, but in Beatrix Potter's version of the story the secret helpers are skillful little brown mice.īeatrix Potter (1866–1943) loved the countryside and spent much of her childhood drawing and studying animals. It was based on the true story of a tailor who left the unsewn pieces of a coat in his shop and found that the garment had been mysteriously finished for him in the night. Potter described 'The Tailor of Gloucester' as her own favorite among her books. "In the time of swords and periwigs and full-skirted coats with flowered lappets-when gentlemen wore ruffles, and gold-laced waistcoats of paduasoy and taffeta-there lived a tailor in Gloucester."

The epic third novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling Court of Thorns and Roses series by Sarah J. A Court of Wings and Ruin - Book Three (Paperback) Immortal longings chloe gong5/24/2023 In YA, I'm seeking contemporary realistic fiction (romcoms, fierce feminists, strong family/friendship dynamics, light-hearted and humorous, interesting jobs/hobbies, hopeful) like A Pho Love Story, Happily Ever Afters, and Dumplin’ historical fiction (original, accessible, unique, uncharted areas of female and/or non-European history) like Outrun the Moon and A Madness So Discreet and fantasy (fractured fairytales, culturally-influenced folklore, historically-inspired, lush world-building, horror) akin to The Star-Touched Queen, The Lie Tree, A Magic Steeped in Poison, and Six Crimson Cranes. I'm interested in diversity in all of its forms. I'm interested in a variety of YA and Adult fiction, in contemporary realistic fiction, women's fiction, historical fiction, and fantasy. I joined TriadaUS in the summer of 2014 after several years working as a librarian, a bookseller, a writing tutor, and completing my M.A. Over the last nearly two decades, the agency has built a list of high quality fiction and non-fiction, and our books are consistently critically acclaimed and translated into multiple languages. Stargirl book about5/24/2023 For two years, Leo’s collection stood at one tie. Around the time of his move, Leo decided to start collecting porcupine neckties–no easy task, especially in Mica. The story starts with Leo Borlock, who moved to Mica, Arizona at the age of twelve. I’ll say it again: Stargirl is a classic. Classics are the books you want to immerse yourself in: the books you wish you could live in with the characters that you wish were your friends. It needs to be a book that you enjoy more every time you read it or talk about it. A classic also needs to have memorable writing and characters. This designation raises the question: What makes a book (any book) a classic? For me it means a book that is timeless something you can read years and years after it was written without the book losing its vibrancy. Okay, I’m going to say it: Stargirl (2000) by Jerry Spinelli is a young adult classic (maybe even a children’s classic but that’s really a cataloguing issue that I am ill-equipped to discuss). Again, however, this is NOT a movie for little children. "Ernest and Célestine" is a thousand times better. That came as a shock at first to me, but again, I let myself go with it, and it had a certain fairly obvious interest. We also see the prince as an adult, very changed. Exupéry's original tale is the best, as far as I'm concerned. Traduction trs belle et qualit parfaite du roman bien-aim et intemporel. But if you let yourself go with it, it has an appeal over time. Read Le Petit Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupry available from Rakuten Kobo. It took me awhile to accept the frame story. If you go expecting just what you know from St Exupéry's story, most of this movie will therefore be an annoyance to you. Most of the movie is a frame for that tale, the story of a small girl who meets an elderly aviator who tells her, in bits and pieces, the story of his encounter, many years before, with the Little Prince. It's in this movie, but it only comprises a small part of it. 2) If you are expecting a video reproduction of St Exupéry's story, you will be very disappointed. So, first comment: 1) This is not a movie for small children. I could hear that the few children among them were bored. There were perhaps 30 people altogether in attendance. The movie opened today - 29 July 2015 - here in France, and I saw the second show here where I live, the small town of Paimpol. Kick, Push by Jay McLean5/24/2023 “I let myself into the cellar, locked the door behind me. ― Timothy Ferriss, quote from The 4-Hour Workweek Hear the music, Before the song is over.” When you worry and hurry through your day, It is like an unopened gift thrown away. When you run so fast to get somewhere, You miss half the fun of getting there. Ever told your child we'll do it tomorrow? And in your haste, Not see his sorrow? Ever lost touch, Let a good friendship die, Cause you never had time, To call and say Hi? You'd better slow down. Do you run through each day, On the fly? When you ask: How are you? Do you hear the reply? When the day is done, do you lie in your bed, With the next hundred chores, Running through your head? You'd better slow down, Don't dance too fast. Have you ever watched kids, On a merry-go-round? Or listened to the rain, Slapping on the ground? Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight? Or gazed at the sun into the fading night? You better slow down. Considering Shahab's reputation as a man of integrity and a Sufi, Dawn wrote that "he mainly told the truth but there were things that he stretched. Mushfiq Khwaja, a close friend of Shahab, was one of those who criticised the book for its exaggerations, inaccuracies and stretched truths. It covers his childhood, education, work life, admission to Imperial Civil Service, thoughts about Pakistan and his religious and spiritual experiences. It is his most notable publication and a bestselling Urdu autobiography. The 1248-page long book was published posthumously in 1987, shortly after Shahab's death. It is an eyewitness account of the background of the subcontinent's Muslims' independence movement and of the demand, establishment and the history of Pakistan. Shahab Nama ( Urdu: شہاب نامہ, lit.'
