Book Synopsis Just Passin' Thru by : Winton Porter
Download or read book Just Passin' Thru written by Winton Porter and published by Menasha Ridge Press. This book was released on 2009-12-01 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like a well-crafted stage play, Just Passin' Thru delivers one suspenseful scene after another. But in this historic setting — a store on the Appalachian Trail called Mountain Crossings — the characters who show up are no fictional creations. They are the real-life stars of the author’s new life as a backpack-purging, canteen-selling, hostel-running, bandage-taping, lost-child finding, argument-settling, romance-fixing, chili-making man of many faces. Like any good drama, there are the good guys (and gals) and the weirdos, too. Some show up once (and that’s enough), and some appear again and again. Some are friends, and some dangerous. But all are united by two things: the author’s story-capturing talent, and whatever it is that lures them to attempt (or conquer) a 2,200-mile path that climbs and plummets from Georgia to Maine.

Book Synopsis I Was Just Passing Through by : Cassandra
Download or read book I Was Just Passing Through written by Cassandra and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-05-16 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When I decided to write this autobiography, a strange feeling overcame me, wondering why I should reveal my innermost and carefully protected memories that had lain dormant for so many years and expose them now to the world. However, others kept encouraging me to share my saga of growing up during very difficult times in the world, as well as personal circumstances of instability in which I often felt like I was walking about in a haze. Jokes about blondes being dumb might have applied at times but do blondes really have more fun? I leave that to you, dear reader, to decide. This haze finally forced me to use an undeveloped creativity I never knew I had that led to amazing, unexpected and unusual events, and changed the direction of my life completely. My hope is that upon reading this, no matter how difficult and unfair life is or may seem to be, such moments can serve as stepping stones that force us to become creative in making make a life that becomes more exciting and worthwhile. We have the gift of life and there truly is no time like the present to hope and achieve for something better, whether young or elderly. Some of my finest accomplishments took place later in life. However, this book would never have been written without the help of others. Memories of loved ones who have passed on who taught and guided me out of a labyrinth of despair at times will forever remain in my heart as my greatest treasures. They are as live to me today in my memory as when they were here.
Book Synopsis Just Passing Through by : H. Peter Zell
Download or read book Just Passing Through written by H. Peter Zell and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 729 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this updated and revised edition of Just Passing Through: A German American Family Saga, first published in 2011, the author tells the story of several generations of his unique but dysfunctional family spanning over a hundred years including the two world wars. Peter Zell was eight years old when World War II ended and in a prologue entitled A German - American Childhood recounts his boyhood experiences that included the apocalyptic firebombing of his hometown of Stuttgart by the western Allies, the postwar occupation of Germany, and his family’s emigration to America. The book centers on the author’s mother, whom her children called Mutti, and her ordeal during the Nazi era for having been married to a Jew, the son of prosperous Frankfurt business owners, with whom she had two children. With anti-Semitism on the rise in Germany, her husband decided to emigrate to America but Mutti chose to remain behind to take care of her ailing father. The couple had an amicable divorce and while her ex-husband took their son with him, their daughter remained with Mutti in Germany. Under the Nuremberg Laws of 1935, mother and daughter now found themselves classified as non-Aryans which meant that Mutti could not remarry while their teenage daughter, being half Jewish, was put in dire jeopardy of her life. At this point Mutti’s older brother, himself a dedicated National Socialist, proposed an unconventional solution that ensured her survival. Following his advice, she had more children, fathered by so-called Aryans, who were eventually all brought to America. The book follows the lives of the five siblings, all half-brothers and half-sisters, and their difficult relationships with each other as each seeks to achieve his or her version of the American Dream.
Book Synopsis Just Passing Through by : Helen Jean McCullough
Download or read book Just Passing Through written by Helen Jean McCullough and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2016-09-06 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: IS IT TIME FOR A WAKE UP CALL? ‘Just Passing Through’ is a book designed to help us think about the ups and downs of our lives and where God stands in our lives at various times. It draws attention to the impact we may have on each other’s lives, whether positive or negative, as we journey through this world. God gave us two phases of life, (1) our temporary life here on earth, in preparation for (2) our eternal life in the destination of our own choosing. Where are our earthly preparations leading us? Our lifetime here on earth is just a drop in the bucket compared to eternity, yet some go on nonchalantly living for now with little thought for the eternal afterlife. Why do we put so much emphasis on our short span of life in the here and now and so little emphasis on the eternity of life in the hereafter? This is a problem we tend to struggle with throughout our lives. Sometimes God is at the forefront and at other times, He is put on the back burner, not really forgotten, but just put aside for the time being. In other cases, He almost seems non-existent. ‘Just Passing Through’ is written for people of all ages who are struggling with their faith or just in need of a little encouragement to stay on track. It is aimed at helping us to think about where we are in life, what is truly important to us, where we are heading and how our decisions can affect future generations. If this concerns us, then perhaps we should take a look inside. We can make a difference.

Book excerpt: I believe there comes a time in every man's life when he needs to stop what he's doing and take a good look at the choices he's made and the direction in life those choices take him. Ultimately, bad choices will lead you down the wrong path in life -- nearly every time. Though sometimes, no matter how hard you try to make the right choices, fate still finds a way to somehow make you regret it.I discovered this as I lay bound by wrists and ankles in the trunk of a cherry red 1963 Corvette convertible, somewhere on Route 322 in Pennsylvania.
Book Synopsis We’Re Just Passing Through by : Timothy Balmford
Download or read book We’Re Just Passing Through written by Timothy Balmford and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2014-04-09 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We spend most of our lives placing value in meaningless things, believing that our happiness can only come as a result of objects and people found outside of ourselves. As a result, we lose sight of who we really are and why we are here. It is possible to experience love and joy in the moment of every single day, without worry, without guilt and without fear, which come as a result of being beset by external sources of unproven truths. This is a book about taking the time for yourself, everyday to remember those things which will allow you to see the beauty of who and what you really are: a light to shine for the world with pure joy, love and nothing more. Everything else is a false creation and an illusion which holds us back from experiencing the heaven on earth we were born to make for ourselves and others.

Book Synopsis Just Passing Through by : Milton Gendel
Download or read book Just Passing Through written by Milton Gendel and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2022-11-08 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of Vanity Fair’s Best Books of 2022 “Milton Gendel had the good fortune to live a wildly entertaining life in Rome—a charmed, romantic period he captured in diaries and photos. Milton had the further good fortune to have Cullen Murphy bring this vanished dolce vita to life.” —Graydon Carter, coeditor of Air Mail A never-before-seen treasure trove of photos and diary entries from the celebrated photographer Milton Gendel that bring Rome’s midcentury heyday to life. “I’m just passing through,” Milton Gendel liked to say whenever anybody asked him what he was doing in Rome. Even after seven decades in the Eternal City, from his arrival as a Fulbright Scholar in 1949 until his death in 2018 at the age of ninety-nine, he refused to be pigeonholed. He was always an American—never an “expat,” never an émigré—but he couldn’t leave, so deep were his ties, and this dual bond left an indelible imprint on his life and art. Born in New York City to Russian immigrants, Gendel first made his way to Meyer Schapiro’s classroom at Columbia University and then to Greenwich Village, where he and his friend Robert Motherwell joined the circle of surrealists around Peggy Guggenheim and André Breton. But it was Rome that earned his enduring fascination—the city supplied him with endless outlets for his curiosity, a series of dazzling apartments in palazzi, the great loves of his life, and the scores of friendships that made his story inextricably part of the city’s own. Gendel did much more than just pass through, instead becoming one of Rome’s foremost documentarians. He spoke Italian fluently, worked for the industrialist Adriano Olivetti, and sampled the latest currents of Italian art as a correspondent for ARTnews. And he was an artist in his own right, capturing the lives of Sicilian peasants and British royals alike on film and showing his photographs at the Roman outpost of the Marlborough Gallery. Then there were his diaries, a casement window thrown open onto a who’s who of artists, writers, and socialites sojourning in the city that remained, for Gendel, the Caput Mundi: Mark Rothko, Princess Margaret, Alexander Calder, Anaïs Nin, Gore Vidal, Martha Gellhorn, Muriel Spark. His longtime home on the Isola Tiberina was the nerve center of the dolce vita generation, whose comings and goings and doings he immortalized in both words and images. Here, for the first time in print, are Gendel’s diaries, together with his photographs, selected and edited by Cullen Murphy. Just Passing Through brings together the most striking artifacts of one of the past century’s richest and most expansive lives, salted with wit and insight into the figures who defined an era. Includes black-and-white photographs

Download or read book Kissing Fish written by Roger Wolsey and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-01-10 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christianity receives a lot of attention in the media, but the most frequently discussed version represents a type of Christianity that sometimes turns people away from the Church. Kissing Fish presents a postmodern systematic theology of progressive Christianity, a growing movement that reclaims the radical message of the Gospel. This informative, contemplative, and entertaining book will guide you through the beliefs that inspire us to love one another in the transformative way that Jesus proclaimed, including practices that will take your faith to a new level. Kissing Fish is a scholarly yet thoroughly accessible introduction to progressive Christianity. While the intended target audience for this work would seem to be those who have either left the Christian faith or never adopted it at all; the work is filled with pearls of wisdom for all of us, whether associated with Christianity or not. Kissing Fish is a truly remarkable work, serving both as a reminder of the beauty and grace that form the central tenets of the faith, while offering a graceful yet prophetic rebuttal to its more exclusionary tendencies. Kissing Fish is part theological text and part tell-all personal spiritual journey. Imagine a down-to-earth combination of the works of Marcus Borg, Anne Lamott, Jim Wallis, Rob Bell, Shane Claiborne, Diana Butler-Bass, Brian McLaren, Walter Wink, Wes Howard-Brook, and Donald Miller. A profound romp that informs and inspires.
