Book Synopsis Certain Women by : Madeleine L'Engle
Download or read book Certain Women written by Madeleine L'Engle and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2017-05-02 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An award-winning author explores the meaning of family in a novel that draws parallels between the lives of a modern man and an ancient biblical king. As he struggles with cancer, legendary screen actor David Wheaton contemplates the one role that always eluded him: King David. Comparing his own life to that of the biblical ruler, David recalls his own numerous wives and children, forcing his daughter Emma to confront the memories of her family’s unconventional past. As David’s loved ones gather to say goodbye to their patriarch, Certain Women masterfully links past and present in an emotional story rich in dramatic tradition, showcasing the struggles—both ordinary and extraordinary—of family life. From the renowned author of A Wrinkle in Time, Certain Women is a wise and “memorable work” (Kirkus Reviews). This ebook features an illustrated biography of Madeleine L’Engle including rare images from the author’s estate.

Book Synopsis Certain Women Called by Christ by : Paige Lanier Chargois
Download or read book Certain Women Called by Christ written by Paige Lanier Chargois and published by New Hope Publishers. This book was released on 2008 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The scriptural text Luke 8: 1-3 (KJV), which mentions "certain women" who were with Jesus, is the basis of the book Certain Women Called by Christ. In this book, author and teacher Paige Chargois identifies 12 qualities evident in these certain women as revealed by these three verses. Written with powerful words and imagery, this book reminds readers that just as Jesus called His 12 disciples, these certain women also had an invitation from Christ and so do the women of today. Certain Women Called by Christ is a biblical, historical, and faith- and character-nurturing book written out of a desire to see the relationships among women strengthened. Through a thorough analysis of Scripture, the author looks at profiles of both biblical women and contemporary Christ followers who exhibit these 12 essential qualities of servant women. She "calls out" today certain women who are not afraid to make history and pave the way for others as she offers confidence building and assurance to women in the church today. She helps women see that by exhibiting these 12 qualities, they are validated in their call to share in the full ministry of Jesus. Readers will be challenged, like the certain women who walked with Jesus, to be trimmed of excesses, to be whole and not self-limiting, to have an intergenerational ministry, and to manage their households well as they come to know the power of the Lord and set their objective on glorifying Him.
Book Synopsis Both Ways Is the Only Way I Want It by : Maile Meloy
Download or read book Both Ways Is the Only Way I Want It written by Maile Meloy and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2009-07-09 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the New York Times 10 Best Books of 2009-- now adapted into the feature film Certain Women, starring Kristen Stewart-- award-winning writer Maile Meloy's short stories explore complex lives in an austere landscape with the clear-sightedness that first endeared her to readers. Don't miss her new novel, Do Not Become Alarmed. Meloy's first return to short stories since her critically acclaimed debut, Both Ways Is the Only Way I Want It is an extraordinary new work from one of the most promising writers of the last decade. Eleven unforgettable new stories demonstrate the emotional power and the clean, assured style that have earned Meloy praise from critics and devotion from readers. Propelled by a terrific instinct for storytelling, and concerned with the convolutions of modern love and the importance of place, this collection is about the battlefields-and fields of victory-that exist in seemingly harmless spaces, in kitchens and living rooms and cars. Set mostly in the American West, the stories feature small-town lawyers, ranchers, doctors, parents, and children, and explore the moral quandaries of love, family, and friendship. A ranch hand falls for a recent law school graduate who appears unexpectedly- and reluctantly-in his remote Montana town. A young father opens his door to find his dead grandmother standing on the front step. Two women weigh love and betrayal during an early snow. Throughout the book, Meloy examines the tensions between having and wanting, as her characters try to keep hold of opposing forces in their lives: innocence and experience, risk and stability, fidelity and desire. Knowing, sly, and bittersweet, Both Ways Is the Only Way I Want It confirms Maile Meloy's singular literary talent. Her lean, controlled prose, full of insight and unexpected poignancy, is the perfect complement to her powerfully moving storytelling.

Download or read book A Certain Woman written by Hala El Badry and published by American University in Cairo Press. This book was released on 2006-09-01 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this prize-winning novel, Nahid is a woman determined to go on a journey of self discovery and understanding. As we accompany her in her sometimes delirious, sometimes lucid journey, we are given rare glimpses of the inner thoughts and feelings of a woman confronting questions of love and intimacy within and outside of marriage. It is a story of one woman's quest for liberation, not from a repressive society or a male-dominated world that is easy and has been done many times before but from self-imposed taboos that inhibit a woman's ability to find fulfillment and to confront the many imponderables surrounding sexuality, desire, and love. Stuck by conscious choice to keep up the genteel appearances of her middle-class family in a loveless marriage to Mustafa, the forty-something Nahid finds love and sex with novelist and journalist Omar himself trapped in a loveless, but not sexless, marriage to Maggie. Although their love story is at the very heart of the novel, we are given broad glimpses of the larger picture of the world outside through Nahid's work as an archaeologist and Omar's as a journalist. The novel was well received by women readers, critics, and reviewers and by a majority of the male audience, while a vociferous minority of male critics felt scandalized by it, finding it unseemly that such issues should be raised by a woman. Now English readers can judge for themselves.

Download or read book Half in Love written by Maile Meloy and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2009-12-01 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fourteen remarkable stories that combine strong Western settings with a subtle and distinct female voice. This critically celebrated debut collection marks the exciting beginning of prize-winner Meloy’s promising career. Lean and controlled in their narration, abundant and moving in their effects, Maile Meloy’s stories introduce a striking talent. Most are set in the modern American West, made vivid and unexpected in Meloy’s unsentimental vision; others take us to Paris, wartime London, and Greece, with the same remarkable skill and intuition. In “Four Lean Hounds, ca. 1976,” two couples face a complicated grief when one of the four dies. In “Ranch Girl,” the college-bound daughter of a ranch foreman must choose which adult world she wants to occupy. In “A Stakes Horse,” a woman confronts risk and loss at the racetrack and at home. And in “Aqua Boulevard”—winner of the 2001 Aga Khan Prize for Fiction—an elderly Parisian confronts his mortality. Meloy’s command of her characters’ voices is breathtaking; their fears and desires are deftly illuminated. Smart, surprising, and evocative, Meloy’s brilliantly observed stories fully engage the mind and heart.
