Book Synopsis The Extraordinary Life of an Ordinary Man by : Paul Newman
Download or read book The Extraordinary Life of an Ordinary Man written by Paul Newman and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2022-10-18 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • The raw, candid, unvarnished memoir of an American icon. The greatest movie star of the past 75 years covers everything: his traumatic childhood, his career, his drinking, his thoughts on Marlon Brando, James Dean, Elizabeth Taylor, John Huston, his greatest roles, acting, his intimate life with Joanne Woodward, his innermost fears and passions and joys. With thoughts/comments throughout from Joanne Woodward, George Roy Hill, Tom Cruise, Elia Kazan and many others. A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: TIME and Vanity Fair "Newman at his best…with his self-aware persona, storied marriage and generous charitable activities…this rich book somehow imbues his characters’ pain and joy with fresh technicolor." —The Wall Street Journal In 1986, Paul Newman and his closest friend, screenwriter Stewart Stern, began an extraordinary project. Stuart was to compile an oral history, to have Newman’s family and friends and those who worked closely with him, talk about the actor’s life. And then Newman would work with Stewart and give his side of the story. The only stipulation was that anyone who spoke on the record had to be completely honest. That same stipulation applied to Newman himself. The project lasted five years. The result is an extraordinary memoir, culled from thousands of pages of transcripts. The book is insightful, revealing, surprising. Newman’s voice is powerful, sometimes funny, sometimes painful, always meeting that high standard of searing honesty. The additional voices—from childhood friends and Navy buddies, from family members and film and theater collaborators such as Tom Cruise, George Roy Hill, Martin Ritt, and John Huston—that run throughout add richness and color and context to the story Newman is telling. Newman’s often traumatic childhood is brilliantly detailed. He talks about his teenage insecurities, his early failures with women, his rise to stardom, his early rivals (Marlon Brando and James Dean), his first marriage, his drinking, his philanthropy, the death of his son Scott, his strong desire for his daughters to know and understand the truth about their father. Perhaps the most moving material in the book centers around his relationship with Joanne Woodward—their love for each other, his dependence on her, the way she shaped him intellectually, emotionally and sexually. The Extraordinary Life of an Ordinary Man is revelatory and introspective, personal and analytical, loving and tender in some places, always complex and profound.
Book Synopsis I AM JUST AN ORDINARY MAN by : GS. Subbu
Download or read book I AM JUST AN ORDINARY MAN written by GS. Subbu and published by Notion Press. This book was released on with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sir, you asked me who I am. What shall I say? I have been asking myself this question for quite some time and reached nowhere. After all I am no saint to throw away everything that I have and go in search of an answer. If I had, I would have been a saint. Don’t you agree? Well I have a name, but what’s in a name? You may call me an Ordinary Man. The narrator in a series of conversations with a friend who he says is his alter ego and through his own introspections, unfolds the process of growing up and aging through an exploration of all that had brought joy in living to serious questions regarding God, religion, destiny, freewill, compassion and to whether we have been really honest in our relationships; the relationships that have affected us at various stages in our life and continue to influence even our present living. They are all locked up somewhere within our private world and which we release and relish in our solitude. Though ‘I am just An Ordinary Man’ is an autobiographical novel, it is only in parts that real events have been narrated to build a base for addressing the questions and the existential angst which arise in the mind of any person during the process of living and that the first step towards resolution is in acceptance of the reality of existence and the finality of death.

Download or read book Billy Graham written by Lon Allison and published by Paraclete Press. This book was released on 2019-02-01 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just in time for the first anniversary of Billy Graham’s death, Allison’s reflection on the life and work of America’s pastor is now available in paperback. New preface by the author, new to this edition. Billy Graham said, “You have no idea how sick I get of the name Billy Graham, and how wonderful and thrilling the name Christ sounds to my ears.” So why another book about him? Lon Allison, evangelist himself, and popular evangelical pastor in Wheaton, Illinois, has learned much from Billy. Allison retells the highlights of what has been, by any objective account, a fascinating life, and tells it in a way that resonates with the Graham legacy of serving God and seeking to spread the Good News. Every stage of Graham’s life is included, even the rough spots, with appreciation and a desire to answer the question: What can we learn from the life and ministry of Billy Graham? What is his legacy? What was his message and how might it still be relevant for today. “Many will welcome the intimate details of his life revealed by Allison. Their close relationship allows the author to present a ‘bird’s-eye view’ of the evangelist.” —David Gibson, Catholic News Service

Book Synopsis An Ordinary Man An Extraordinary God by : Dr. Ernest S. Martin
Download or read book An Ordinary Man An Extraordinary God written by Dr. Ernest S. Martin and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-08-02 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After retiring as a veterinarian, the author had much more time to spend with others, so he related stories of many of the experiences in his life. He was asked by family, friends, and others with whom he had shared if he had recorded these stories. Ernest never wanted to write his life story, but God revealed to him that he should record his experiences and title the book An Ordinary Man, An Extraordinary God. His procrastination to write ended when he had a back fusion with two rods and ten screws which required him to lay on a bone stimulator for four hours a day for six months; and during that time, he was not able to do any physical work. The book would show how God could take a country boy raised on a farm and use him to bring glory to God. Explaining how God used him could encourage others who also thought they were "nobodies" to realize that God could use any person that believed in God and spent time in His Word to walk in the Spirit and be led by the Spirit. The book begins just before Ernest received Jesus as his Lord and Savior and continues showing how, through His Word, the author received the baptism of the Holy Spirit, learned to walk in the Spirit, witnessed about God to others, prayed the prayer of faith for healing, cast out demons, and did other works of God. His walk with God and how he grew in faith is shared chronologically in the book. Now he could understand the groaning of the spirit within a Christian for the day of redemption when he would enter God's presence and be with Jesus for eternity.

This book is divided into three sections as Poetries, Short stories and Quotes of me. I confess that the names and the characters mentioned in this book are purely imaginary. In the Poetry section, I have expressed my thoughts and ideas in the way of poems. Most of my poems are based on the poetic expression of my thoughts. In the Short story section, I have written two short stories. Actually, I have used my future goals in the story “The Surreal of Nahkkurahsk”. It is also an imaginary story. Both the stories will express my views on my ambitions in future but in real, they are imaginary. In the Quotes section, I have expressed my views on my experiences and ideas which are slightly related to philosophies in this book. My quotes will be useful to everyone in our society and so I named this part of the book as “My Quotes to Our Society” This book is all about my views on all the things so that I titled this book as “The Views of an Ordinary Man” After reading this book, you will surely feel the good vibes in your heart and my quotes will help you to lead the great successful life.

Book Synopsis The Life of an Ordinary Man by : Norman Ross
Download or read book The Life of an Ordinary Man written by Norman Ross and published by Writers Republic LLC. This book was released on 2020-07-17 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I enjoy writing. I don’t possess an imagination that can make up fiction, so I only write about actual historical events particularly those that occurred during my life. As has been said, truth can be stranger than fiction. Necessarily, my writings include stories involving my forebears, but they predominantly document events that took place during my marriage with Alida. I was born and raised in Scotland, a country known for its excellent education system. I was able to read and write before my sixth birthday. As a boy, I read extensively, first comics then the classics. I say “comics” but the weekly publications (Rover, Wizard and others) consisted solely of adventure stories, words without any pictures. Boys would create pictures in their own minds to illustrate what they were reading. I hope that readers will be able to form word pictures in their imaginations when they read the stories in this book.
Book Synopsis Thoughts of an Ordinary Man by : Jack Gorman
Download or read book Thoughts of an Ordinary Man written by Jack Gorman and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-02-23 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a compilation of the thoughts of an ordinary man, any subject that comes to mind; and in no particular order. I cover all ideas, from conversations I have had, my reactions to newspapers and other media reports, and virtually everything that I have formed opinions on. With the accusations that Americans are always far left or far right, I wanted to give the opinions of an ordinary man. From this, you decide if an ordinary man leans hard left, hard right, more toward center or maybe is really schizophrenic. Each thought is kept as short as possible in presentation in an attempt to get right to the point and solicit expanded thought from the reader. I wrote this, not to be read as a novel, but to be read whenever there are five minutes available to ponder a new idea.
Book Synopsis ORDINARY MAN / EXTRAORDINARY GOD by : Gordy Carlson
Download or read book ORDINARY MAN / EXTRAORDINARY GOD written by Gordy Carlson and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-01-31 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible is a book unlike any other book ever written. God used different men, over a period of time, to record His thoughts and words to mankind. In essence, the men were the pen (or quill) in the hand of God. Each of our lives is also a book to be read by others. Some books have more chapters. Some have longer chapters. Some have more colorful chapters. With some, the ending is too abrupt. Ordinary Man/Extraordinary God is my attempt to be a pen in the hand of God. It is my attempt to brag about God by recalling His involvement in my life. I hope it inspires you to reflect and look for moments where you can brag about Him too.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An ordinary man found that serving a great God is always a rewarding life. He saw lives changed from the bondage and hopelessness of sin to lives of great victory and peace. His calling took him to dangerous places where he faced wolves, bandits, guns, bombs, and even being lost in the mountains at night. He faced poverty, famine, and the death of many loved ones, and he found that God was sufficient for each day. This man was Knute Hjalmar Ekblad, missionary to North China in the early 1900's. His faith in his great God is contagious to any reader.
