Download or read book Bilbo's Birthday and Frodo's Adventure of Faith written by Robert E. Morse and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2002-03 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the form of myth, elves,orcs, men and hobbits become real to every reader of J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. Tolkien's pen gave shape to that which can be called evil and presented the mysterious nature of all that is sinister in life for every eye to see. More importantly, Tolkien has left his readers wondering how he was able to create on a truly cosmic scale. Bilbo's Birthday and Frodo's Journey of Faith is a fascinating reading of Tolkien's famous trilogy. It extends our understanding of Tolkien the thinker and storyteller to include Tolkien the Christian believer for whom myth was more than poetic fancy- it was a symbol of his faith. The book sets out the conflict between Tolkien's understanding of the meaning and nature of myth and the theories of other scholars of his time. Then, it explains how Tolkien used the images associated with certain Greek words commonly used in the time of Augustus. The result is a refreshing and different approach that emphasizes Tolkien's personal beliefs while answering questions like: Why does Tolkien put so much emphasis on Bilbo's Birthday Party? Why does Tolkien stress the hobbitt interest in family lines? Who is the model for Tom Bombadil? Is Odin the only model Tolkien used for Gandalf?

Book Synopsis Taking the Adventure by : Gracia Fay Ellwood
Download or read book Taking the Adventure written by Gracia Fay Ellwood and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2014-11-11 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the relationship between faith, especially Christian faith, and a lifestyle that respects animals as our neighbors and kin? Why should faith entail a commitment to vegetarianism? Are animals meant to be heirs of the kingdom of God as well as human beings? Taking the Adventure offers answers to these questions in the context of important biblical themes: of Eden and Exodus, of the prophetic imperative, of Jesus as a prophet proclaiming liberty to the oppressed and the captives, of the feast of the kingdom, of the resurrection and life beyond death. It explores imagery from familiar novels such as A Christmas Carol and The Hobbit that deal with cravings, anxiety, and true abundance. It proposes that committing ourselves to live in God-given peace with all living beings, and sharing with others the good news of that peace, is an adventure worth the best we can give--an arduous and painful, yet joyous adventure climaxing in return to the heart of God.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children love Christmas and children love coloring books. But at a certain age, they also begin to question the truth of Santa Claus, his flying reindeer, and his overnight, world-wide, toy-delivering abilities. Not quite ready to give up the magic of Christmas and not quite able to still believe, parents are faced with the task of revealing the truth of Santa and the real meaning of Christmas. And that's where THE SECRET OF THE SANTA BOX COLORING BOOK comes in. Whether used as a supplement for THE SECRET OF THE SANTA BOX picture book or on its own, the coloring book is a delightful tool for parents to use to explain that the magic of Christmas is in each one of us--a gift from our Savior that is "a love that's more precious than silver or gold." The poem that weaves its way through the coloring book and picture book is by Christopher Fenoglio and illustrated by Elena Makansi. A delightful story written in the same lyrical style as 'Twas the Night Before Christmas, the poem will help parents navigate this difficult time in a fun and loving way, and is a natural transition for children who have outgrown the "Elf on a Shelf" and are ready to move forward to the real meaning of Christmas.

The result is an important, lasting, and concise companion guide to the works of Shakespeare by one of our most eminent literary scholars.

Book Synopsis War Letters of Fallen Englishmen by : Laurence Housman
Download or read book War Letters of Fallen Englishmen written by Laurence Housman and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2002-07-02 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than eight million young men perished during the First World War—a staggering figure. The natural reaction to such a great loss of humanity was to forget the individuals and recast the conflict into one of faceless armies and battles commemorated in stone and metal monuments. War Letters of Fallen Englishmen was published following the war in order to remind the living of those who were lost in the name of the British crown—brothers, husbands, fathers, sons. This collection provides, in the very words of those who participated and died in combat, the closest approximation possible to the experience of war. Carefully selected from thousands of letters, those in this collection are poignant, powerful, and graphic and were chosen for their depth of perception, the intensity of their descriptions, and their messages to future generations. This edition contains a new foreword by the distinguished World War I historian Jay Winter.

Book Synopsis Why Choose the Liberal Arts? by : Mark William Roche
Download or read book Why Choose the Liberal Arts? written by Mark William Roche and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 2010-08-20 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a world where the value of a liberal arts education is no longer taken for granted, Mark William Roche lucidly and passionately argues for its essential importance. Drawing on more than thirty years of experience in higher education as a student, faculty member, and administrator, Roche deftly connects the broad theoretical perspective of educators to the practical needs and questions of students and their parents. Roche develops three overlapping arguments for a strong liberal arts education: first, the intrinsic value of learning for its own sake, including exploration of the profound questions that give meaning to life; second, the cultivation of intellectual virtues necessary for success beyond the academy; and third, the formative influence of the liberal arts on character and on the development of a sense of higher purpose and vocation. Together with his exploration of these three values—intrinsic, practical, and idealistic—Roche reflects on ways to integrate them, interweaving empirical data with personal experience. Why Choose the Liberal Arts? is an accessible and thought-provoking work of interest to students, parents, and administrators.
