Book excerpt: The Cool Side of My Pillow is a collection of essays by actor, cult icon and New York Times bestselling author Bruce Campbell, sharing some of his experiences and observations outside of the entertainment industry.In Campbell's own words, "What's it about? Mostly, things that matter to me, like putting in the effort, being honest and not treating the environment like it's the enemy. Is it self-help? I hope not, but you will find musings about fame, mysterious carvings, UFOs and my general disdain of loud noises. Is it political? If it is, I'll refund your money. There are no conspiracy theories in The Cool Side of my Pillow, just snarky humor and a sincere desire for us all to find peace on earth."

Book excerpt: Best-selling Author and Beloved Storyteller Patsy Clairmont Takes an All-New Approach to Her Message of Encouragement, Healing, and Hope. From "Boxed In," the story of a woman making a startling discovery about a distant aunt she never really knew, to "Cloistered," the tale of a severely phobic woman being gently wooed back into life, popular speaker and writer Patsy Clairmont has crafted a beautiful and impressive first collection of short fiction. Through the fourteen tales featured in Stardust on My Pillow, Patsy sensitively explores the themes of compassion and kindness, holiness and hope, while providing beautifully written inspiration for all of us who desire to spread a little stardust of our own. Quotes: "Patsy Clairmont has a sensitive and compassionate voice as a storyteller." -Francine Rivers, author "I rarely read fiction, but when I do it had better be good. Well, let me tell you, friends, this is good. It incorporates Patsy's extraordinary communication skills with her unique ability to weave a charming and fantastic story. Plan to stay up late and be dazzled by stardust." -LuciSwindoll, author and speaker "Like a vase holding a spring bouquet, Patsy's book holds a wonderful variety of stories, each one with emotional color and a lingering fragrance all its own." -Ken Gire, author "As endearing as Patsy herself, these honest, poignant tales bring home messages of grace, truth, and above all, hope." -Liz Curtis Higgs, author and speaker "Patsy's short stories are sure to warm your heart and soul. Simply one of the most delightful reading experiences I've had in a long time." -Shelley Breen, Point of Grace Short Stories to Bolster Your Spirit Petite, playful, and profound. These words help to describe Patsy Clairmont's size, message, and humor. Gifted with both a quick wit and a sure command of God's Word, Patsy can simultaneously bring laughter to her audiences while imparting deep, life-changing insights. Known today as a best-selling author and popular speaker who addresses thousands of women at national conferences, Patsy once suffered as a prisoner in her own home because of agoraphobia (fear of open spaces). Her experience has given her a deep appreciation of God's healing power. In Stardust on My Pillow, Patsy courageously and skillfully breaks new ground, offering her message of God's grace for the first time through the medium of short fiction. In fourteen touching and tender tales, she explores the mystery and faithfulness of God's goodness and love, as experienced and demonstrated by his people.

Download or read book Unbinding The Pillow Book written by Gergana Ivanova and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2018-11-06 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An eleventh-century classic, The Pillow Book of Sei Shōnagon is frequently paired with The Tale of Genji as one of the most important works in the Japanese canon. Yet it has also been marginalized within Japanese literature for reasons including the gender of its author, the work’s complex textual history, and its thematic and stylistic depth. In Unbinding The Pillow Book, Gergana Ivanova offers a reception history of The Pillow Book and its author from the seventeenth century to the present that shows how various ideologies have influenced the text and shaped interactions among its different versions. Ivanova examines how and why The Pillow Book has been read over the centuries, placing it in the multiple contexts in which it has been rewritten, including women’s education, literary scholarship, popular culture, “pleasure quarters,” and the formation of the modern nation-state. Drawing on scholarly commentaries, erotic parodies, instruction manuals for women, high school textbooks, and comic books, she considers its outsized role in ideas about Japanese women writers. Ultimately, Ivanova argues for engaging the work’s plurality in order to achieve a clearer understanding of The Pillow Book and the importance it has held for generations of readers, rather than limiting it to a definitive version or singular meaning. The first book-length study in English of the reception history of Sei Shōnagon, Unbinding The Pillow Book sheds new light on the construction of gender and sexuality, how women’s writing has been used to create readerships, and why ancient texts continue to play vibrant roles in contemporary cultural production.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspiration for Girls on the Threshold of Change "Before I go to sleep each night Before I turn off every light Let me put away my fears Let me brush away the tears" The heartfelt prayers in this luminous volume were originally written for the comfort and inspiration of a twelve-year-old girl named Julia. The author of these prayers is Julia's mother, who wrote them because she was troubled that she and her daughter no longer talked as much as they used to. So each night, she left a verse on Julia's pillow. Julia shared them with her younger sister and with her friends, and the prayers moved outward in ever-widening circles. Now everyone can enjoy and meditate upon these simple supplications, whose words, feelings, and perspective are those of a girl growing into womanhood. Nearly one hundred and fifty prayers encourage girls to look inward for the strength to heal hurts, calm fears, and reconcile with family and friends. They present the values of self-reliance and confidence, celebrating the gift of life and the unique pleasure and challenges of being a girl. Each prayer is a loving act of faith, and together they provide a safe and private space in which a girl can simply be and grow.

Download or read book Jefferson's Pillow written by Roger W. Wilkins and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2002-07-12 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An outspoken participant in the civil rights movement, Roger Wilkins served as Assistant Attorney General during the Johnson administration. In 1972 he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize along with Bernstein and Herblock for his coverage of Watergate. Yet this black man, who has served the United States so well, feels at times an unwelcome guest here. In Jefferson's Pillow, Wilkins returns to America's beginnings and the founding fathers who preached and fought for freedom, even though they owned other human beings and legally denied them their humanity. He asserts that the mythic accounts of the American Revolution have ignored slavery and oversimplified history until the heroes, be they the founders or the slaves in their service, are denied any human complexity. Wilkins offers a thoughtful analysis of this fundamental paradox through his exploration of the lives of George Washington, George Mason, James Madison, and of course Thomas Jefferson. He discusses how class, education, and personality allowed for the institution of slavery, unravels how we as Americans tell different sides of that story, and explores the confounding ability of that narrative to limit who we are and who we can become. An important intellectual history of America's founding, Jefferson's Pillow will change the way we view our nation and ourselves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Book #2 of The Genesis Trilogy. This special reissue of a classic work of spirituality from the author of A Wrinkle in Time offers life-transforming insights on the rich heritage of the Bible and shows how the characters of this ancient text are relevant for living the good life now. Includes a new reader's guide. In this book for the curious, spiritual seeker, Madeleine L'Engle offers relevant lessons drawn from the life of Jacob from the Old Testament. Here, the son of Isaac becomes a spiritual companion to L'Engle, equipping her to deal with earthly and psychological struggles. Throughout her journey, L'Engle offers contemporary answers to questions that burden modern day readers and believers. With her customary fearlessness and candor, she broaches such topics as the significance of angels, redemption, sexual identity, forgiveness, and the seemingly constant conflict between good and evil. Madeleine L'Engle possesses the same ambidextrous skill of storytelling as other literary giants, including C. S. Lewis and George MacDonald. Her fictional stories appeal to generations of readers, and are equally embraced in both the secular and religious markets. But, it is her ability in her nonfiction to engage with the historical text of the Bible through a dynamic unpacking of protagonists, antagonists, and matters of faith that establishes the Genesis Trilogy as a highly treasured collection of spiritual writings. A Stone for a Pillow acts as a compass for those traveling through the tumultuous landscape of faith in our cynical and divisive modern culture.

Book excerpt: This "intense reading experience"* is a Printz Honor Book. Shawn McDaniel's life is not what it may seem to anyone looking at him. He is glued to his wheelchair, unable to voluntarily move a muscle—he can't even move his eyes. For all Shawn's father knows, his son may be suffering. Shawn may want a release. And as long as he is unable to communicate his true feelings to his father, Shawn's life is in danger. To the world, Shawn's senses seem dead. Within these pages, however, we meet a side of him that no one else has seen—a spirit that is rich beyond imagining, breathing life. *Booklist starred review
