New York Times bestselling author Ann Voskamp invites you to embrace everyday blessings and embark on the transformative journey of chronicling God's gifts. How can you find joy in the midst of deadlines, debt, drama, and even the death of loved ones? What does the Christ-life really look like when your days are gritty, long, and sometimes even dark? How is God even here? “It is in the dark that God is passing by . . . our lives shake not because God has abandoned but the exact opposite. God is passing by. God is in the tremors. Dark is the holiest ground, the glory passing by. In the blackest, God is closest, at work, forging His perfect and right will. Though it is black and we can’t see and our world seems to be free-falling and we feel utterly alone, Christ is most present to us...” In One Thousand Gifts, Ann Voskamp invites you to discover a way of seeing that opens your eyes to ordinary amazing grace, a way of living that is fully alive, and a way of becoming present to God that brings deep and lasting joy. It's only in the expression of gratitude for the life we already have, we discover the life we've always wanted . . . a life we can take, give thanks for, and break for others. Come to feel and know the impossible right down in your bones: you are wildly loved by God. As Ann invites you into her own beautiful, heart-aching moments of amazing grace, she gently teaches you how to: Biblically lament loss and turn pain into poetry Intentionally embrace a lifestyle of radical gratitude Slow down and catch God in the moment Not a book merely to read, One Thousand Gifts is an invitation to engage with truths that will serve up the depths of God’s joy and transform your life forever. Leave pride, fear, and control behind, and abandon yourself to the God who overflows your cup.
Book Synopsis The Story of the Bayeux Tapestry: Unraveling the Norman Conquest by : David Musgrove
Download or read book The Story of the Bayeux Tapestry: Unraveling the Norman Conquest written by David Musgrove and published by Thames & Hudson. This book was released on 2021-04-06 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive and fully illustrated guide to the Bayeux Tapestry. The full history of the events leading up to the Battle of Hastings and the story of the tapestry itself. Most people know that the Bayeux Tapestry depicts the moment when the last Anglo-Saxon king of England, Harold Godwinson, was defeated at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 by his Norman adversary William the Conqueror. However, there is much more to this historic treasure than merely illustrating the outcome of this famous battle. Full of intrigue and violence, the tapestry depicts everything from eleventh-century political and social life—including the political machinations on both sides of the English Channel in the years leading up to the Norman Conquest—to the clash of swords and stamp of hooves on the battle field. Drawing on the latest historical and scientific research, authors David Musgrove and Michael Lewis have written the definitive book on the Bayeux Tapestry, taking readers through its narrative, detailing the life of the tapestry in the centuries that followed its creation, explaining how it got its name, and even offering a new possibility that neither Harold nor William were the true intended king of England. Featuring stunning, full- color photographs throughout, The Story of the Bayeux Tapestry explores the complete tale behind this medieval treasure that continues to amaze nearly one thousand years after its creation.

Rowan must rely on Max McDaniels and David Menlo and hope that their combined powers can stop Prusias's war machine before it's too late. But even as perils loom, danger stalks their every move. Someone has marked Max for death and no one is above suspicion. Should the assassins succeed, Rowan's fate may depend on little Mina whose abilities are prodigious but largely untested. And where is Astaroth? Has he fled this world or is he biding his time, awaiting his next opportunity? In the Tapestry's fourth book, author-illustrator Henry H. Neff boldly raises the stakes in an epic tale of mankind's struggle to survive in a world now populated by demons and demigods and everything in between!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beth Duke, Author of #1 Best Seller It All Comes Back to You, delivers an emotional and inspiring novel about family, from the roots that ground us to the branches that allow us to take flight. "Beth Duke is a poet disguised as a Southern novelist. Tapestry made me laugh, made me think and in the end, made me cry. Tapestry delivers on ALL counts." -Dan Brown, Author of Reunion Twenty-two-year-old Skye Willis lives in Eufaula, Alabama, a tourist mecca of stately homes and world-class bass fishing. Her childhood friends are either stuck at dead ends or have moved on to accomplish Big Things. Skye's grandmother, Verna, insists on being called "Sparrow" because she suspects her ancestors were Muscogee Creek. She dresses in faux deerskin and experiments with ancient Native American recipes, offering a myth or legend to anyone who will listen. Skye has no idea what to do with her life. She's smart as hell, but she has no faith or knowledge there's something out there she was "born to do." Nor does she know much of anything about her father, who died in Afghanistan when she was a toddler. He and his family are a mystery her mother won't discuss. But when Sparrow is determined to confirm her Creek ancestry through genetic testing, Skye joins in. The results hit like a DNA bomb, launching them both on a path filled with surprises and life-changing events. Skye learns a harder truth than she ever expected. Alternating chapters between Skye's Alabama life and an intertwining tale of greed, deceit, and control in Texas, this story offers proof that all life is a woven tapestry of past, present, and future. In Beth Duke's uplifting and soul-singing voice, TAPESTRY is Southern Fiction at its best; you will cry, you will laugh out loud, and you will wish you were a member of the beautiful, matriarchal family Duke has created for her readers. This book is a must-read for fans of Fannie Flagg, Anne Rivers Siddons, and Rebecca Wells.

Download or read book Tapestry written by Barbara Hollander and published by . This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TAPESTRY Comments on an uncommon life This really is a collection of bits and pieces written during three or four decades in the course of different centuries on a couple of continents. I haven't tried to be particularly kind or politically correct. On the other hand, I have carefully avoided mention of a number of people, places and things best buried in a deep pit somewhere out back This is about me. It's far less a chronicle of how it was, than how I felt about how it was. With all the warts. I don't come out smelling like roses. I didn't really mean to. Mostly I'm trying to chronicle a lost world, write a history of a time, a place which, like Tartessos, sank long ago beneath the seas. There are wonderful days and days of misery. Pain and pleasure intermingled. The human mind, the soul, unaffected by mankind's manufacturing genius. We learn a lot. Do we really? Isn't it all the same? We give up some things in favor of others. It's all a trade-off. It's not all wonderful. It's not all a waste. Best not to spend too much time in deciding which to discard, which to keep. There's only one life. You could call it a memoir, you could call it a fairy tale. Either way you wouldn't be far off the mark. It's the story of a young girl with straight, lank blond hair who leaves her childhood home in Chicago's outskirts of the 30's, and finds adventure and a life as one of New York's first women filmmakers of the 50's, as well as a wife and mother of three, then tops it off with thirty years as an expatriate raising her children on the Spanish Mediterranean shore, before returning to America to spend her older age in, of all places, Aspen, Colorado. It's a mélange of prose and poetry, a glimpse of the rich and famous, the often outrageous. It's a love story (but a far cry from the woman's romance category), of a woman who makes her own rules in searching for her ego, in searching for a fuller life for herself and her family. The author's early milieu was the Depression, World War II and Greenwich Village of the 50's. It covers the art scene, the film people, the Eurotrash. It deals in ego, in archeology, architecture, culture and taste; in off-beat travels, in the very unconventional education of the children and their parents. It takes you from the back rooms of Seventh Ave. designers to the remotest Spanish mountain village, from glittering corridas and country fairs to the earliest human endeavors Palaeolithic cave art. Home base for this American family's three decades in Spain is a huge Andalusian l5th Century Cortijo, entirely rebuilt by them without architect or engineer, using only the treasures of Sephardic Cordoba, of Moorish Granada, of Medieval Spain to reconstruct their dream house with a bit of Iberian, Phoenician, Roman and Vizigoth thrown in. It is a home for myriad birds of prey, five-in-hand carriages, a month-long family horse trip across Spain to run with the bulls in Pamplona. A home of love and living, of life and death. It has something for everyone.
Download or read book A Tolkien Tapestry written by Cor Blok and published by HarperCollins Publishers. This book was released on 2011 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifty years ago, shortly after The Lord of the Rings was first published, Cor Blok read the trilogy and was completely captivated by its invention and epic storytelling. The breadth of imagination and powerful imagery inspired the young Dutch artist, and this spark of enthusiasm, coupled with his desire to create art that resembled a historical artefact in its own right, led to the creation of more than 100 paintings.Following an exhibition at the Hague in 1961, JRR Tolkien's publisher, Rayner Unwin, sent him five pictures. Tolkien was so taken with them that he met and corresponded with the artist and even bought some paintings for himself.The series bears comparison with the Bayeux Tapestry, in which each tells an epic and complex story in deceptively simple style, but beneath this simplicity lies a compelling and powerful language of form that becomes more effective as the sequence of paintings unfolds.The full-colour paintings in this new book are presented in story order so that the reader can enjoy them as the artist intended. They are accompanied by extracts from The Lord of the Rings and the artist also provides an extensive introduction illuminating the creation of the series and notes to accompany some of the major compositions. Many of the paintings appear for the very first time.Readers will find Cor Blok's work refreshing, provocative, charming and wholly memorable - the bold and expressive style that he created stands as a unique achievement in the history of fantasy illustration. Rarely has an artist captured the essence of a writer's work in such singular fashion; the author found much to admire in Cor Blok's work, and what higher accolade is there?
