Download or read book Wesley the Owl written by Stacey O'Brien and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2008-08-19 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times–bestselling memoir of a biologist’s life with an unforgettable owl “will captivate animal lovers” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). On Valentine’s Day 1985, biologist Stacey O’Brien first met a four-day-old barn owl—a fateful encounter that would turn into an astonishing 19-year saga. With nerve damage in one wing, the owlet had no hope of surviving in the wild. O’Brien, a young assistant in the owl laboratory at Caltech, was immediately smitten, promising to give him a permanent home. Wesley the Owl is the funny, poignant story of their dramatic two decades together. With a tender heart and a scientist’s eye, O’Brien describes how Wesley grew from a helpless ball of fuzz to a gorgeous adult owl with an outsized personality. She also brings us inside her research community, a kind of scientific Hogwarts where resident owls flew freely from office to office and eccentric, brilliant scientists were extraordinarily committed to studying and helping animals. As O’Brien gets close to Wesley, she makes important discoveries about owl behavior, intelligence, and communication: he did not tolerate lies, held her to her promises, and provided unconditional love, though he was not beyond an occasional sulk. When O’Brien develops her own life-threatening illness, the biologist who saved the life of a helpless baby bird is herself rescued from death by the insistent love and courage of this wild animal.

Book Synopsis Assist Me to Proclaim by : John R. Tyson
Download or read book Assist Me to Proclaim written by John R. Tyson and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2007 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Wesley (1707-1788) was the cofounder of Methodism and the author of more than 9,000 hymns and sacred poems, including such favorites as "Hark the Herald Angels Sing," "O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing," and "Christ the Lord Is Risen Today." John Tyson here traces the remarkable life of this influential man from cradle to grave, using rare -- including previously unpublished -- hymns, letters, and journal materials. As the younger brother of John Wesley, Charles was a vital partner in the Methodist revival. While often standing in the shadow of his more famous brother, Charles Wesley was arguably the founder of the Oxford Holy Club, and he actually experienced evangelical conversion three days prior to John. In Assist Me to Proclaim Tyson explores, among other things, behind-the-scenes questions about the brothers' sometimes-stormy relationship. Notwithstanding all his accomplishments as an evangelist and itinerant preacher, Charles is chiefly remembered for his startling facility at writing hymns that show God at work in almost every instance of life. His remarkable legacy endures around the world, as hundreds of Charles Wesley hymns are still sung in churches everywhere today. Assist Me to Proclaim draws a picture of a man whose fidelity to both the Church of England and the original vision of Methodism energized his remarkable abilities as a revivalist and hymn writer. Readers also get a glimpse into Wesley's heart and mind through the window of his hymn texts. This is a biography that any student of church history or hymnody will welcome.
Book Synopsis Amazing Love! How Can It Be by : Chris Fenner
Download or read book Amazing Love! How Can It Be written by Chris Fenner and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-05-12 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present collection of essays examines specific texts by Charles Wesley in multiple dimensions (theological, poetical, historical, biographical, etc.), demonstrating both the profound nature of the hymns and their continued relevance for Christians today. The discussions are organized by theological/liturgical topics, and each essay treats us to the hymn in its complete original form (noting significant variants as necessary), explains the historical context of its composition, provides a theological interpretation, and relates it to the life and faith of the believer. In the pages of this book, the reader will find both information and inspiration. Scholars of hymnody and of Charles Wesley will appreciate the depth of inquiry in the chapters. Just as importantly, laypersons and hymn lovers (as well as scholars) will find much spiritual benefit from the study of hymns they know and love, as well as texts with which they may be less familiar. This exploration of these profound hymns will surely lead to a deeper understanding of the "amazing love" responsible for changing the course of Charles Wesley's life, who in turn changed the course of Christian worship.

Download or read book Susanna Wesley written by Ray Comfort and published by Destiny Image Publishers. This book was released on 2014-12-22 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Virtuous Woman The life of Susanna Wesley (1669-1742) is both intriguing and illuminating to explore. This book presents her life in ways that will astound the modern reader. Susanna and her husband, Samuel, had nineteen children, ten of whom survived to adulthood. Her son Charles became a well-known hymn writer and her son John became the founder of Methodism. Susanna was brought up in a Puritan home as the youngest of twenty-five children. As a teenager, she became a member of the Church of England. She became the wife of a chronically debt-ridden parish rector in an English village. She said, I have had a large experience of what the world calls adverse fortune. Nonetheless, Susanna managed to pass down to her children Christian principles that stayed with them. Ray Comfort and Trisha Ramos quote from Susannas many letters and other sources to reveal a true woman of faith, who strongly endured the trials of life. Susanna Wesley: Her Remarkable Life gives readers a generous glimpse into the life of this exemplary wife and mother. In addition, the authors provide us with contemporary illustrations and faith-building stories that parallel Susannas experiences of walking out her faith.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the “dean of Western writers” (The New York Times) and the Pulitzer Prize winning–author of Angle of Repose and Crossing to Safety, a fascinating look at the old American West and the man who prophetically warned against the dangers of settling it In Beyond the Hundredth Meridian, Wallace Stegner recounts the sucesses and frustrations of John Wesley Powell, the distinguished ethnologist and geologist who explored the Colorado River, the Grand Canyon, and the homeland of Indian tribes of the American Southwest. A prophet without honor who had a profound understanding of the American West, Powell warned long ago of the dangers economic exploitation would pose to the West and spent a good deal of his life overcoming Washington politics in getting his message across. Only now, we may recognize just how accurate a prophet he was.
Book Synopsis An Exact Likeness by : Prof. Richard P. Heitzenrater
Download or read book An Exact Likeness written by Prof. Richard P. Heitzenrater and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2016-04-05 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Faces are more than a montage of organs that see, breathe, speak, hear, eat, sing, smell, and yell. As Josephine Tey points out in her mystery novel, The Daughter of Time, the slant of an eyebrow, the set of a mouth, the look of the eye, the firmness of a chin, often can provide evidence of character that is as telling as a report card or a police blotter. Those features depicted on portraits of individuals can be equally telling of the person’s inner nature or perhaps of what the artist thinks (or wants the viewer to think) about the person being portrayed. Sometimes a portrait might be even more useful than a biography. While examining these portraits, the author considers three questions: what was Wesley’s attitude toward the portrait (if any), how did the public respond to these portrayals, and what was the artist attempting to convey? This book focuses on the main portraits and their derivatives, looking at them within the three main categories that developed over the years: Oxford don, Methodist preacher, and notable person. Although these types seemed to arise in chronological order, there is some overlap between categories, especially toward the end of Wesley’s life and beyond.
Book Synopsis Wild Mary: The Life Of Mary Wesley by : Patrick Marnham
Download or read book Wild Mary: The Life Of Mary Wesley written by Patrick Marnham and published by Random House. This book was released on 2014-12-11 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mary Wesley published her first novel at seventy and went on to write a further nine bestsellers, including the legendary The Camomile Lawn, in a style best described as arsenic without the old lace. Many of her stories were inspired by her experiences during the Blitz, and by her marriages: the first to an aristocrat, a brief and conventional affair, and the second to a penniless writer she adored. A remarkable book about a remarkable woman, Patrick Marnham's brilliantly researched and wonderfully impartial book disentangles truth from rumour, highlighting the links between Wesley's real life and her fiction.
Book Synopsis John Wesley's Social Ethics by : Manfred Marquardt
Download or read book John Wesley's Social Ethics written by Manfred Marquardt and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2000-08-23 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume, first published in German in 1976, still stands as the most definitive, comprehensive treatment of John Wesley's social ethics. John Wesley's Social Ethics offers a balanced treatment that dispels notions that Wesley can easily be categorized as only an evangelist or only a social reformer. It demonstrates that Wesley's theological and spiritual concerns were catalytic in his social program. It encourages a rethinking of the importance of theology for social ethics in the Methodist tradition.
