Book excerpt: After Dale Short moved away (reluctantly) from his hometown of Shanghi [sic] in Walker County, Alabama, he wrote home every week -- by means of a newspaper column in The Daily Mountain Eagle, where he held his first writing job in the late 1960s.

They are collected here in Short's book I Left My Heart in Shanghi, Alabama, along with a new introduction by the author.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A heartfelt collection of personal stories that connect a common past and offer hope for a promising future For many, South Carolina is a sunny vacation destination. For those who have been lucky enough to call it home, it is a source of rich memories and cultural heritage. In this final volume of State of the Heart, thirty-eight nationally and regionally known writers share their personal stories about places in South Carolina that hold special meaning for them. While this is a book about place, it is ultimately about people's connections to one another, to a complex, common past, and to ongoing efforts to build a future of promise and possibility in the Palmetto state. Editor Aïda Rogers groups the essays thematically, with poetry, vintage photographs, and even recipes introducing each section. She unites pieces by New York Times best-selling novelists Patti Callahan Henry, CJ Lyons, and John Jakes; USA Today best-selling mystery writer Susan Boyer; historians Walter Edgar, Orville Vernon Burton, and Bernard Powers; artist and author Mary Whyte; and cookbook authors Sallie Ann Robinson and the Lee Brothers—just to name a few.

Download or read book My Heart Sings written by Jan Auggi Jones and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2017-11-29 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This author appreciates writing poetry, novels, childrens stories; the performing arts; and music of many genres. She was raised on gospel and country music played on an old Victrola phonograph with a black-and-white dog staring into a gramophone on the inside of the cover. Today, this author has become enamored with and is fangirling over country a cappella music, which is relatively new. Curious about the behind the scenes activities of a successful bands life, living on the edge of temptations in todays media-frenzied world, she created a believable group running through life on unbelievable favor, spearheaded by love between a wealthy, incredibly intelligent and beautiful African-American ballerina and a super talented tenor from the deep South and their unique way of overcoming racial issues with love. Murder, sex, and drugs fuel the life and romance of these two extraordinary, opposite, characters living and excelling way above the normal expectations of life, hinting into the cosmic pluralism like no one has ever experienced before. This author spent thirty-five years in the busy, topsy-turvy support area of corporate America, starting with the FBI and ending in the legal field, before being forced to retire on disability. This is her first adult romance novel. She writes and has published poetry on poetry.com with two poems published in anthologies; she was the author and publisher of Newsletters for Boy Scout Troop and Pack 731, The Indian Creek District, and for newsletters, service bulletins, and memorial programs for two churches. The author is a widow who lives in Waldorf, Maryland, with her son, daughter-law, grandson, and grandpup, Toli.

Book Synopsis The Heart and its Attitudes by : Stephen Darwall
Download or read book The Heart and its Attitudes written by Stephen Darwall and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024-05-15 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philosophers don't often write about the heart. At least, analytical philosophers don't. Why is this? Philosophers are said to live life ?in their heads? rather than ?from their hearts.? But even if that is so, why don't they think and write about the heart? Moreover, it can hardly have escaped philosophers' attention that matters of the heart are central to what we human beings value most about our lives, including our lives with animals. Philosophers write a lot about friendship and love, but they tend to do so in terms that leave out heartfelt connection. They speak rather of commitment to one another and each other's well-being, or taking each other as ends, or sharing deliberative standpoints or living life together, or a whole host of other topics, and much less about mutual emotional vulnerability and sharing and being in one another's hearts. Surely one explanation of philosophers' reticence is that talk of ?the heart? seems unavoidably metaphorical. It turns out to be easy enough, however, to cash the metaphor in if we simply take ?heart? refers to a cluster of emotional susceptibilities that have an essentially reciprocating structure. The heart aims at heartfelt connection-at shared experience of joys and sorrows, hopes and fears, and other personal emotions. We seek naturally to share these feelings with others and must suppress our natural tendencies if we wish to avoid doing so. Our heart's wish is to be open to other hearts in the hope that they will be open to ours, and thereby us, in return. This book is a systematic treatment-perhaps the first-of ?attitudes of the heart?-remorse (versus guilt), love, trust, gratitude, personal anger (versus righteous anger), jealousy, and others-and their role in mediating personal relationship, attachment, and connection. This is obviously interesting in its own right, but it also shows how heartfelt attitudes mirror more extensively studied ?reactive attitudes? of guilt, resentment, and blame (?attitudes of the will?). Whereas the latter mediate moral relations of mutual respect and accountability, attitudes of the heart are the currency of heartfelt connection and personal relationship.
Download or read book A Faithful Heart written by Emmala Reed and published by Univ of South Carolina Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emmala Reed's journals from 1865 and 1866 present a detailed account of life in western South Carolina as war turned to reconstruction. Reed's postwar writings are particularly important given their rarity - many Civil War diarists stopped writing at war's end. Also unlike many diarists of the period, Reed lived in a small town rather than on a plantation or in an urban center.
Book Synopsis Within the Heart of God, I Am by : Lucero Tello, MorningStar
Download or read book Within the Heart of God, I Am written by Lucero Tello, MorningStar and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2020-02-15 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within the Heart of God, I Am is a true story about the mystical experiences and divine support that not only changed the author’s life forever but propelled her to share it. Here is the detailed description of how the voice of God makes itself heard in all of our lives, and how the power resides within each of our hearts to hear it. In this collection of stories about truth and love—with the author our protagonist—tells readers about how she started receiving divine messages after her Galactic family began making appearances in her photographs, some of which are included in the book. Here is the apparition of the Divine Feminine in the Himalayan mountains, for example, the hands of God in the sky, and the encircled fourth pointed star indicating the Second Coming of the Christ, among others. The book’s nine chapters synthesize each mystical event and the lesson associated with it. She unpacks Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven”, to understand the powerful message it imparts from Mother Mary, which the author received while she was in Sedona, Arizona, along with a song she (with Mother Mary’s divine assistance) composed in response. Her virtues of unconditional love, tenderness, and compassion are desperately needed in our present world. Along with the stories and photos, there is information about the author’s healing abilities and some testimonials. Ultimately, she would like to help the reader to recognize their own power to initiate the process of liberation, through meditations, exercises and practices that enhance one’s life bringing liberation, which is human’s deepest desire after all. The love of God is without exception—we are galactic beings, after all. By raising our perception, we may change our environment.

Book Synopsis Can the Elect Be Deceived by : Ashira Bellamy
Download or read book Can the Elect Be Deceived written by Ashira Bellamy and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2015-12-28 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can the Elect Be Deceived is not intended to ask a question, but to incite a vigilant stir in us. We can get so comfortable in our ceremonial, habitual, routines and patterns that the subtleties of the enemy too often go unnoticed, and many times do not even occur to us until it is too late. The spirit of deception is rampant among us, and without keen discernment one can and will fall prey to the devourer. Deception mimics sincerity and is designed to look and sound good and feel right. The impostor comes posing as the "Real McCoy," and oft times we are none the wiser. Even as a minister of the gospel, when deception came I did not recognize it. It did not come the usual way. It did not announce itself. It did not come as I would suspectI did not have a clue that my deceiver was truly a "wolf in sheep's clothing." So I tell my story to sound the alarm!
Book Synopsis Race Point Light by : Dwight Cathcart
Download or read book Race Point Light written by Dwight Cathcart and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2017-12-13 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Race Point Light describes a chaotic world for queer people in which politics, medicine, the universities, the military, even the churches, all the big players in the culture of late-twentieth century America-and, of course, the queer community-combine to be a part of Fair Shaw's life. RPL captures the chaotic quality of Shaw's life, and the difficulty of controlling events. This is a literate book, well-written, well-researched, full of detail about the period and the man. It is a very powerful story and has the same pattern as the lives of many gay men and lesbians who lived between 1945 and marriage equality. Most of them had to learn to fight back and lost their allegiance to the culture they were born into.
