Download or read book The Good Shepherd, Gentle Guide, and Gracious Host written by Patrick Allen and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-03-19 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Good Shepherd, Gentle Guide, and Gracious Host is a collection of fifteen discipleship meditations, organized around three metaphors from the Twenty-Third Psalm. Why does the Twenty-Third Psalm connect so profoundly with the human spirit, whether we are grieving, hoping, or suffering? The answer has much to do with the approachable, inviting metaphors for God that are expressed in this psalm—the good shepherd, the gentle guide, and the gracious host, as well as the full range of human emotions that rise up within us when we read them. Each chapter contains a powerful personal story told by one of the Northwest’s best storytellers, an inviting meditation from a line of the psalm, the wisdom of Scripture, some words of practical advice, and questions for reflection and discussion. Suited for personal devotions or small discipleship groups, The Good Shepherd, Gentle Guide, and Gracious Host invites all of us to an adventure of grace, healing, and hope, seeing God as approachable, good, loving, and kind. As our understanding of God’s love and care matures, our spiritual journeys will take on a new character, too. This book will highlight the path ahead, providing fence posts, guide posts, and lamp posts as we make our way home.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Someone is plotting the start of World War III. Colonel North sets out to find the mastermind, but United States Intelligence calls him off the case. In spite of the five men mysteriously murdered, the government says there is no proof of the conspiracy. But North knows it is true. And he chooses to pit himself singlehandedly against a vicious ring of spies to prove it! "A Bermuda houseparty loses its gaiety after the ocean races when Col. North is recalled to duty because there seems to be an obtrusion of international throat-cutting (a transfer of submarines), a shifting of gold bars to be delivered, and a to-do in drugs. Dead bodies -- and live and seductive ones too -- are a starter for a race against time which leads to China where major moves by the intrepid Colonel foil a Soviet-Red China combine. At the price a lot for your money with North still in the lead." -- Kirkus Reviews

Book excerpt: So you’re adulting. Now what? New York Times bestselling author of Adulting: How to Become a Grown-Up in 468 Easy(ish) Steps Kelly Williams Brown is here to tell you what, with her funny, charming guide to modern civility in these—yes, we'll say it—rather uncivil times. Graciousness is practicing the arts of kindness, thoughtfulness, good manners, humanity, and, well, basic decency. It’s not about memorizing every rule of traditional etiquette (though there is something to be said about a lovely hand-written invitation) or being the perfect hostess. It’s about approaching the world with compassion, conviction, and self-confidence—and it makes all the difference, whether you're at a Fancy Schmancy Intimidating Work Occasion or at the convenience store. Gracious provides tips to help you deal with the people and circumstances that challenge all of us (pushy relatives, internet trolls), and thoughtful discussions on being the highest version of yourself. Graciousness, at its heart, is the ability to be truly present to the humans around you, to face the world with a generous heart and a core of strength that’s never corroded. Even when you get rude comments from Internet strangers (hot tip: you don’t give a lot of credibility to someone screaming obscenities at you on the street, so why do it online?) We can’t control the world, or other humans, or even how we feel in a given moment. The only thing we can control is our words and actions, and when we act deliberately and with kindness, it makes everything better.

Download or read book Private Newport written by Bettie Bearden Pardee and published by Bulfinch. This book was released on 2004-04-14 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Newport, Rhode Island, blessed with stunning ocean vistas and constant sea breezes, is home to some of the most exceptional private residences in America. Its deeply rooted history makes it a perennial destination, with more than 3.5 million visitors each year. Although it is one of the most high profile towns in the country, Newport is also one of the most cloistered. Private Newport: At Home and in the Garden offers an invitation to venture beyond the privet hedges and massive iron gates. It is the first book to step inside the privately owned mansions to reveal a diverse collection of architectural jewels complemented by spectacular gardens. These homes, created by distinguished architects and landscape designers, are stunning examples of Newport's 375-year "old-world" heritage. Eighteen exquisite and unique homes are prominently featured-from the resilient crescent curve of majestic Seafair, which withstood the Hurricane of '38, to the prizewinning Japanese garden at Wildacre, to the nostalgic working farm of heritage breeds at Swiss Village-each contributing its own part to the "Eden of America."

Book excerpt: John and Joseph Loya, brothers who serve the Catholic Church as a diocesan priest and a religious priest, respectively, take fifteen of Jesus' most well-known parables: The Prodigal Son, The Publican and the Pharisee, The Good Shepherd and the Lost Sheep, The Generous King and the Fearful, Lazy Steward, etc., and weave a philosophy and theology of love as told--and lived--by Jesus. The authors employ the teachings of Pope Benedict XVI's encyclical Deus Caritas Est (God is Love) as a theological touchstone for the proper understanding of Christian love, and offer additional inspirational commentaries on love drawn from the spiritual traditions of both the Christian West and the Christian East. This gentle, engaging book will assist readers in discovering the peace, joy and freedom that come with loving as God loves us. +
