This book was released on 2020-01-29 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The History of Christian Missions in Guangxi, China describes the fascinating history of Catholic and Protestant missions in bandit-infested Guangxi from the seventeenth century to the present. Included is an overview of Guangxi's historical context and its development throughout the twentieth century. Particular attention is given to the missionaries through abundant quotations and several short biographies. Other chapters include: -an examination of the relationships between mission societies and the missionaries that served in Guangxi -a detailed history of outreach to Guangxi's minorities, including the Zhuang, Yao, Dong, and Miao -an analysis of the missionary methods and ministries of compassion -a breakdown of the costs and challenges faced by the missionaries, including martyrdom and death -an evaluation of the receptivity levels and results in Guangxi over time The book ends with an appendix of missionary quotations on life in Guangxi, to which contemporary missionaries in South China could easily relate. Although this is a regional study, readers will gain a much clearer picture of nineteenth- and twentieth-century missions and be spurred on to sacrificially make Christ known in the least reached parts of the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Teaching in Long Underwear: My China, Ernie Danek shares his experiences of living as a foreigner outside of the major cities in China. As an American entering his early years as a senior citizen, he faced the challenges of teaching for a decade in the Middle Kingdom's public university system. During his time there, he developed an oral English teaching plan for freshman English majors. Ernie observed in his day-to-day experiences the numerous differences between Chinese and American cultures. Many stories were told to him by his students of the grotesque follies that resulted from Chairman Mao’s efforts to expel Western and traditional Chinese influences from China during the Cultural Revolution from 1966 to 1976. Ernie’s students insisted on hearing his American viewpoint of China’s successful launch of a manned, orbital spacecraft. His comment, “It's like watching your little brother learn to walk,” produced both titters and scowls. Teaching in Long Underwear: My China provides an honest account of what it is like to teach outside of the major Chinese cities and what it means to live as a foreigner inside an ancient culture.

Download or read book Seeking Modernity in China’s Name written by Weili Ye and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2002-04-01 with total page 509 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The students who came to the United States in the early twentieth century to become modern Chinese by studying at American universities played pivotal roles in Chinese intellectual, economic, and diplomatic life upon their return to China. These former students exemplified key aspects of Chinese "modernity," introducing new social customs, new kinds of interpersonal relationships, new ways of associating in groups, and a new way of life in general. Although there have been books about a few especially well-known persons among them, this is the first book in either English or Chinese to study the group as a whole. The collapse of the traditional examination system and the need to earn a living outside the bureaucracy meant that although this was not the first generation of Chinese to break with traditional ways of thinking, these students were the first generation of Chinese to live differently. Based on student publications, memoirs, and other writings found in this country and in China, the author describes their multifaceted experience of life in a foreign, modern environment, involving student associations, professional activities, racial discrimination, new forms of recreation and cultural expression, and, in the case of women students, the unique challenges they faced as females in two changing societies.

You received a phone call out of the blue; or you bumped into someone who led you to a new job, a new relationship, or opportunity that totally changed your life. You probably even said, “Wow, what a coincidence I met so and so.” But did you ever stop to ask what caused that person to be right there, at that exact moment, in your path? It was Divine Alignment: the arrangement of coincidences into a pattern of alignment so astonishing they could have come only from a higher source.

In his charmingly avuncular and wonderfully optimistic voice, SQuire shares moving stories from his own and others’ lives to show the awesome strength inherent in what he calls God’s Positioning System, or GPS. All of us, he assures readers, can use our own personal GPS to grow more closely aligned with God to become vastly more effective, successful, and fulfilled in our relationships, careers, and everything we do. *** DIVINE ALIGNMENT offers a comprehensive approach for living our lives in harmony with God—every minute of every day—offering a whole new paradigm for understanding the mysterious connections between people and events, challenges and solutions.

Book excerpt: Just before her death, Macie Zanderneff wrote a letter to her loved ones stating that she planned to come home to the mountains with her two daughters. A few days later, the sheriff delivers the unbelievable news of Macie's suicide to her adoptive parents, Aunt Mae and Uncle Hume, and the rest of the family. When Macie's diary marked, "A Fairy Tale" is discovered in her meager belongings, it becomes obvious that her marriage was far from the "happily ever after" that she made it out to be. The diary gives an account of her daily life-a living hell-and how she attempts to get away from her physically and emotionally abusive husband. It becomes Aunt Mae's mission to determine why her daughter and others stay in abusive situations. She becomes so persistent, she learns that even some of her friends and neighbors have been or are currently involved in abusive relationships. Why Didn't She Just Leave and Come on Back Home? follows Aunt Mae's journey for answers about obsessive love, extreme passion, and the mystery of abusive relationships, and how she uses her newfound knowledge to help other abused women.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of coaching books systematically deceived the American immigration system during the years following the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. Follow Jim’s life as an eight-year-old immigrant from Taishan whose diligent memorization of false identities, dates and places erased all memories of his boyhood in China. After facing language difficulties and isolation during assimilation and education, he eventually achieves academic success. But then he must overcome the institutional racism of the 1950s, and reaches the plateau of middle class America during the Cold War. He finds himself oddly suited to the silence and secrecy shrouding his work with the military and NASA. But despite having lived the American Dream, he sees the world as a Chinese American in a racist society. Mr. Eng completed this memoir at the age of 95. He attributes his health, long life, and success to his beautiful wife Lan.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explore 80 classic and modern recipes inspired by Stephen King’s Maine, featuring dishes from the books set in Castle Rock, Derry, and other fictional towns—with a foreword from the legendary author himself. Castle Rock Kitchen is an immersive culinary experience from the mouthwatering to the macabre, with gorgeous, moody photographs to transport Stephen King fans to kitchen tables, diners, and picnic blankets across Maine. Recipes ranging from drinks to dessert (and every course in-between) are inspired by meals and gatherings from the more than forty novels and stories set in King’s Castle Rock multiverse—a darker, more gothic version of the Maine most are familiar with. The eighty professionally developed dishes use plenty of local, down-home ingredients such as fresh seafood, potatoes, wild blueberries, and maple syrup, plus some delicacies from away—here are just a few: • Breakfast: Pancakes with the Toziers (It), Dog Days French Toast (Cujo) • Dinner: One-Handed Frittata (Under the Dome), Killer Mac and Cheese (“Gramma”) • Supper: Blue Plate Special (11/22/63), Whopper Spareribs (The Tommyknockers) • Fish and Seafood: Crab Canapés (Pet Sematary), Moose-Lickit Fish & Chips (The Colorado Kid) • Vegetarian: Wild Mushroom Hand Pies (Bag of Bones), Holy Frijole Enchiladas (Elevation) • Baking and Sweets: Hermits for the Road (The Long Walk), Blueberry Cheesecake Pie (“The Body”) • Drinks and Cocktails: Homemade Root Beer (Carrie), Deadly Moonquake (“Drunken Fireworks”) With a foreword written by Stephen King and story excerpts that connect the recipes to the books that inspired them, Castle Rock Kitchen delivers frightfully good food and drink.

Download or read book In My Skin written by Sophie Lee and published by SPCK. This book was released on 2024-04-18 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's taken 27 years for Sophie Lee to feel comfortable in her skin. This the real-life story of one woman's courage in rising from the ashes as she learns to discover that true beauty is more than skin deep in a society that so often tells us otherwise. When twenty-three-year-old Sophie Lee was booked to perform at a huge event in Chicago, she thought it was a dream come true. Little did Sophie know it was about to become her nightmare, when a dramatic fire-dancing accident left Sophie with life-changing injuries. The model faced years of operations and recovery to treat the keloid scar that developed on her face and neck. Having worked as a model and dancer, the idea of being disfigured was terrifying. But long before the accident, Sophie had faced bullying because of her Chinese heritage. At every stage of her life, Sophie has been forced to muster her strength and push back against those who said she wasn't good enough. This bold memoir is a demonstration of the healing power of resilience, kindness and family. Sophie encourages us all that it doesn't matter how we look or where we're from, we're all beautiful in our own skin. Inspired by her own story of overcoming adversity, Katie Piper's The UnSeen is a publishing collection that sheds light on the untold stories of hope that deserve to be heard. In My Skin is the second book in Katie Piper's UnSeen series, also featuring Down Syndrome Vogue-cover-girl Ellie Goldstien's book Against All Odds.
