Book excerpt: Understanding Roots uncovers one of the greatest mysteries underground—the secret lives and magical workings of the roots that move and grow invisibly beneath our feet. Roots, it seems, do more than just keep a plant from falling over: they gather water and nutrients, exude wondrous elixirs to create good soil, make friends with microbes and fungi, communicate with other roots, and adapt themselves to all manner of soils, winds, and climates, nourishing and sustaining our gardens, lawns, and woodlands. Understanding Roots contains over 115 enchanting and revealing root drawings that most people have never seen, from prairies, grasslands, and deserts, as well as drawings based on excavations of vegetable, fruit, nut, and ornamental tree roots. Every root system presented in this book was drawn by people literally working in the trenches, sketching the roots where they grew. The text provides a verydetailed review of all aspects of transplanting; describes how roots work their magic to improve soil nutrients; investigates the hidden life of soil microbes and their mysterious relationship to roots; explores the question of whether deep roots really gather more unique nutrients than shallow roots; shares the latest research about the mysteries of mycorrhizal (good fungal) association; shows you exactly where to put your fertilizer, compost, water, and mulch to help plants flourish; tells you why gray water increases crop yields more than fresh water; and, most importantly, reveals the science behind all the above (with citations for each scientific paper). This book contains at least eighty percent more new information, more results of the latest in-depth and up-to-date explorations, and even more helpful guidelines on roots than the author’s previous book (Roots Demystified: Change Your Garden Habits to Help Roots Thrive). This is not a revised edition—it’s a whole new stand-alone book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the twenty years since its publication, Celebration of Discipline has helped over a million seekers discover a richer spiritual life infused with joy, peace, and a deeper understanding of God. For this special twentieth anniversary edition, Richard J. Foster has added an introduction, in which he shares the story of how this beloved and enduring spiritual guidebook came to be. Hailed by many as the best modern book on Christian spirituality, Celebration of Discipline explores the "classic Disciplines," or central spiritual practices, of the Christian faith. Along the way, Foster shows that it is only by and through these practices that the true path to spiritual growth can be found. Dividing the Disciplines into three movements of the Spirit, Foster shows how each of these areas contribute to a balanced spiritual life. The inward Disciplines of meditation, prayer, fasting, and study, offer avenues of personal examination and change. The outward Disciplines of simplicity, solitude, submission, and service, help prepare us to make the world a better place. The corporate Disciplines of confession, worship, guidance, and celebration, bring us nearer to one another and to God. Foster provides a wealth of examples demonstrating how these Disciplines can become part of our daily activities-and how they can help us shed our superficial habits and "bring the abundance of God into our lives." He offers crucial new insights on simplicity, demonstrating how the biblical view of simplicity, properly understood and applied, brings joy and balance to our inward and outward lives and "sets us free to enjoy the provision of God as a gift that can be shared with others." The discussion of celebration, often the most neglected of the Disciplines, shows its critical importance, for it stands at the heart of the way to Christ. Celebration of Discipline will help motivate Christians everywhere to embark on a journey of prayer and spiritual growth.

This book was released on 2011-02-07 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The one guide every creative nonfiction writer needs to turn to when being "creative." Writers of memoir and narrative nonfiction are experiencing difficult days with the discovery that some well-known works in the genre contain exaggerations--or are partially fabricated. But what are the parameters of creative nonfiction? Keep It Real begins by defining creative nonfiction. Then it explores the flexibility of the form--the liberties and the boundaries that allow writers to be as truthful, factual, and artful as possible. A succinct but rich compendium of ideas, terms, and techniques, Keep It Real clarifies the ins and outs of writing creative nonfiction. Starting with acknowledgment of sources, running through fact-checking, metaphor, and navel gazing, and responsibilities to their subjects, this book provides all the information you need to write with verve while remaining true to your story.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Intelligent but accessible, and often poignant . . . [by] the biggest talents on the essay and blog beat.” —Publishers Weekly (on Vol. 2) Anyone still asking, “What is creative nonfiction?” will find the answer in this collection of artfully crafted, true stories. Selected by Lee Gutkind, the “godfather behind creative nonfiction,” and the staff of Creative Nonfiction, these stories—ranging from immersion journalism to intensely personal essays—illustrate the genre’s power and potential. Edwidge Danticat recalls her Uncle Moise’s love of a certain four-letter word and finds in his abandonment of the word near the end of his life the true meaning of exile. In “Literary Murder,” Julianna Baggott traces her roots as a novelist to her family’s “strange, desperate (sometimes conniving and glorious) past” and writes about her decision, in The Madam, to kill off a character based on her grandfather. And Sean Rowe explains why, if you must get arrested, Selma, Alabama, is the place to do it. This exciting and expansive array of works and voices is sure to impress and delight.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Folksy, eclectic, disarmingly humble, and astonishingly wide-ranging, Hauerwas offers us a provocative reading of Bonhoeffer that, not surprisingly, assimilates him closely to John Howard Yoder. At the same time, Hauerwas replies to recent criticisms of his work by Jeffrey Stout. Contending that truth depends on performance far more than on theory, Hauerwas steps forward as a pacifist gadfly for a more truly faithful church and a more recognizably democratic society." --George Hunsinger, Princeton Theological Seminary "This book shows how lively and fecund Hauerwas's thought remains. A dazzling performance, capable of entertaining and instructing professional theologians as much as those who think the world might be a better place without theologians in it." --Paul J. Griffiths, University of Illinois at Chicago "Stan Hauerwas has done it again! He is able skillfully to blend into his book the passion for truth and justice of two of his greatest influences, Dietrich Bonhoeffer and John Howard Yoder. He takes these heroic advocates for peace into his own present-day struggle for the soul of the American nation. Hauerwas, an admirable Christian pacifist himself, dares Christians to be the 'Jesus people' they claim to be and to follow Jesus into the gospel path of nonviolence." --Geffrey B. Kelly, author of Liberating Faith: Bonhoeffer's Message for Today "Never totally predictable. Always a fresh perspective. And yet once again in these essays--on narrative, politics, Bonhoeffer, and the church--we hear the engaging, discerning, and brilliant voice we have come to know as Stanley Hauerwas." --Mark Thiessen Nation, Eastern Mennonite Seminary "Contending with and learning from the witness of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, whose life is often thought to provide a Christian alternative to pacifism, Hauerwas deepens the account of Christian nonviolence he has been articulating for decades. His theology is strengthened and clarified by his encounter with the exemplary figure of Bonhoeffer." --Alan Jacobs, Wheaton College "Without loss of the provocative edge that has made him a vital and distinctive Christian voice, Hauerwas's Performing the Faith allows him to cast a retrospective eye on his work. At the same time, in a brilliant essay under the title of the book, he develops a profoundly important description of faithfulness." --Dennis O'Brien, University of Rochester

Book excerpt: She stood on a bridge and looked across the small mountain lake to see the bluest of skies and the purple Rocky Mountains. Gratitude welled up within her, for after suffering seventeen bedridden years with an unknown illness, she found herself in the center of a miracle. Frannie Rose nearly had committed suicide but had instead chosen to surrender to a God she believed had abandoned her. Finally, in wellness, she heard a voicesmall and simple at firstguiding her on a spiritual journey of which only mystics speak. The voice, Gods voice, would change her life forever. Through Frannies journey, a teacher was born, with a message from God for the world: They speak of Me, but they do not know Me. They speak at Me but without the space within their hearts to listen. Gods words, teachings, and gentle coaxing, shared simply and lovingly, brought Frannie back to livingnot living the life she imagined and planned, but a life more wondrous than she ever could have dreamed. The Invitation is true to its title; it is an invitation for every reader to discover that faith is the secret to living an extraordinary life. It offers hope that amid the worst, most unimaginable struggles lies a gift. For no matter how hard life is and how desperate you become, with God, all good things are possible. He is longing for you to hear Him.

For the past century, every girl has been born with a special talent, like the ability to Fix any object, Heal any wound, or Find what is missing. To best friends Rome, Lux, and Mercy, their abilities often feel more like a curse. Rome may be able to Fix anything she touches, but that won’t help her mom pay rent. Lux’s ability to attract any man with a smile has always meant danger. And although Mercy can make Enough of whatever is needed, even that won’t help when her friendship with Rome and Lux is tested. Follow three best friends in this enchanting debut novel as they discover that friendship is stronger than curses, that trust is worth the risk, and sometimes, what you’ve been looking for has been under your feet the whole time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Manna in the Morning is a collection of devotions written to refresh weary or malnourished Christians who need sustenance from the bread of Heaven. These short devotions, taken from every book of the Bible give Christians on the go a quick but nourishing word for the day. Having a hearty appetite for the Word of God is as essential to our spiritual walk as the manna the Israelites gathered each morning was for the nourishment of their physical bodies, during their journey through the desert. Daily "Manna Moments" prompt the reader into a time of reflection and application of the Word. The tasty morsels of Scripture in this book are the result of the author's application of Romans 15:4 which says: Everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is it your destiny to help people? Perhaps become a healer? Come follow the journey of real world shamanism in three books…Do you feel like you have a gift but are not sure how to use it? Seasoned master shamanic healer and spiritual teacher, Gregory Drambour, in his 35 year career has guided over 12,000 clients to a better understanding of the code of the spiritual warrior and hundreds into successful healing practices. Now he’s sharing his teachings with you through The Shaman Series. You’ll discover: How to create partnerships with the Tree-, Plant-, and Rock-People How to "see" inside clients to their core issues. How a shaman is guided in healing clients. How to merge with your animal totem and develop an intimate partner and friendship. How to project yourself to another location. How to listen and act on the wisdom inside you. How to overcome your own resistance to your healing gifts How to clear yourself and clients of blocks, and much, much more! The Woodstock Bridge “A marvelous adventure! I recommend it highly!” —Richard Carlson, author of Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff A lost soul. A man desperate for meaning. Can he discover his inner Warrior and unleash the power to change? Two decades after the heady 60s, John struggles to make sense of his life. With fading optimism, he’s unsure if he can ever make a difference in the world. But crossing paths with two Sioux warriors gives him another chance for mentorship and wisdom. As John learns to confront his fears, can he find the passion that makes life worth living? The Shaman & His Daughter The Shaman & His Daughter contains 18 short stories that explore the special bond between a Shaman and his apprentice daughter, Angel-Girl. Come inside and get a close-up view of a shaman-in-training and a shaman on the ground in the real world – even shopping at Safeway! Through these tender tales you’ll learn how to let Spirit guide to develop and expand your unique healing abilities The Lead Guitarist & The Sisterhood of the Wolf You have a special uniqueness inside you -- never doubt it! Do you feel there is a talent you were born with but you are not getting a chance to use it? James Ryder, the lead guitarist, is a shaman in his own right – in the same vibe as Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison and other musicians who embodied a connection with Spirit. James has “seeing” dreams and mystical happenings throughout the book, and his fiercely soulful guitar playing embodies a deep communication with another world. The other character, Char Montgomery is deeply bonded with her Wolf-Totem-Sister and was adopted by a Native American Crow Elder. She truly walks the path of the shaman. I felt it was important for me as a teacher to bring shamanism into real world situations in all three books. We want to walk the path of the warrior in our daily life. I hope these books reflect that mission.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the year 1292, no one would have said that just a few years earlier, famine and unrest had ravaged the Křivoklát Castle area. It was the daughter of a metallurgist named Hana who saved Křivoklátsko, the Forest of Crooked Logs, from Brandenburg mercenaries at that time. However, the past left scars on her, forcing her into hiding. Everything changes when she encounters a mysterious stranger who initiates her into ancient writings. As Hana hears the words from the De rerum natura manuscript, she remembers her father's tale of a celestial blacksmith who forges elements of the world within distant stars. Her understanding of nature brings her back to her lost childhood and painful memories that will help her confront the visions of phantoms, cold, and unrest that are destined to return in the future. The story unfolds ten years after the original legend of the Forest and is supplemented by additional tales and well-known legends from the Bronze Age, through Celtic settlements, until the present day. You will learn about the changes in the landscape and climate over millennia, our own history, and scientific knowledge from the last years regarding the origin and development of forests, the universe, and life.
