Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

All these stories seek to interrogate and render in genuine and unflinching ways the nature of doubt, delusion, and surprisingly, the potentially rescuing powers of faith and grace. They are above all, honest and compassionate stories. Here is a writer you can trust; here are people you have known. (Behold Faith)

Elegantly crafted and sharply observed, Jennifer Haigh’s Faith is a haunting meditation on loyalty and family that demonstrates how the truth can shatter our deepest beliefs—and restore them.
Book Synopsis Faith Based Short Stories by : Anna Hartsell
Download or read book Faith Based Short Stories written by Anna Hartsell and published by . This book was released on 2024-01-28 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Faith Based Short Stories is a book from the heart and with that I am wishing all its readers hope and healing. People always say they wouldn't change anything when looking back at their life. But I would. This book is about letting go of those things that haunt your mind at night and roll around your thoughts before finding sleep. Situations, interactions, and words people say to you. Let it all go, vent, get it out of your mind so you can live life in joy and peace free of the effects of what others might say or do. I am making a bold promise here because I have lived it. I let others' actions take a hold on me and didn't tell anyone. It led to terrible health conditions and a mental health scare. This is not just mindless suggestions, this was my life and what I learned. I am better equipped with doctors and counselors who help me deal with problems as they come. Please seek help. Faith Based Short Stories is a glimpse into my life past and present. No one knows what the future may hold for our individual lives except God himself who created and numbered our days. My book is generously peppered with scripture to help back me up in my liberal advice. I hope it will alleviate unnecessary pain and suffering for all who choose to read. For those who are the source of the pain, I hope my compiled stories will help you understand just how bad words hurt. Think hard before you speak and even harder before you act. And most of all be kind.

Book Synopsis Faith and Fiction by : Anita Gandolfo
Download or read book Faith and Fiction written by Anita Gandolfo and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2007-08-30 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, there has been an explosion in the market for fiction on religious topics and themes, most notably Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code. The variety of contemporary religious fiction and the publishing phenomenon surrounding it indicate that this literature transcends any overt religious meaning and is significant in its political and social implications; it is emblematic of the contemporary American Zeitgeist. Traditionally, literature is both mirror and lamp, reflecting the society that produces it and illuminating the values and interests of that society. Recognizing both of those perspectives, Gandolfo examines Christian literature's place in American culture today and explores the cultural meaning and significance of the wildly popular Christian fiction now available. The phenomenon surrounding Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code has led to a cottage industry of interpretations, attacks, and commentaries, but one thing is certain: the book has had an enormous impact on American society, culture, and religious understanding, not to mention the publishing industry, which scrambles to find similar religious books to feed to an eager public. But The Da Vinci Code is not the only book of its type on the market today. In recent years, there has been an explosion in the market for fiction on religious topics and themes, with an entire series devoted to the impending Rapture as described in the Left Behind series. Some fiction does not take an explicitly religious theme as these books do. Instead, writers like Andre Dubus and Ron Hansen imbue their creative work with spiritual and religious themes embedded in the everyday lives and concerns of their characters. Regardless of the specific approach, what is not in doubt is that American readers have made the authors of these works wealthy as bookstores cannot stock their shelves with enough copies. Why the recent surge of interest in Christian fiction? How does it reflect trends in our culture and our lives? How has it changed our society and our understanding of spirituality and religion? How accurate are these books in terms of the theology they espouse? The variety of contemporary religious fiction and the publishing phenomenon surrounding it indicate that this literature transcends any overt religious meaning and is significant in its political and social implications; it is emblematic of the contemporary American Zeitgeist. Traditionally, literature is both mirror and lamp, reflecting the society that produces it and illuminating the values and interests of that society. Recognizing both of those perspectives, Faith and Fiction examines Christian literature's place in American culture today and explores the cultural meaning and significance of the wildly popular Christian fiction now available.
