Download or read book His Name Was Ezra written by Craig Moody and published by . This book was released on 2018-02-27 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Judith Bracewell, a twenty-one-year-old, pale-skinned, red-haired, freckle-faced tomboy, enjoys spending her Saturday afternoons playing baseball with the boys on the other side of town. Falling in love with one of her teammates, dream-driven, hopeful future lawyer Ezra Washington, the pair are forced to spend their shared off-field time together in secret, deep in the woods within the confines of an abandoned Civil War-era cemetery. Residing in Waynesboro, Mississippi, in 1957, the strict, limiting, and dehumanizing laws of the Jim Crow South deem their natural bond forbidden, all due to the opposite color of their skin. After Judith falls victim to a violent and brutal physical assault, Ezra goes missing, with Judith's older brother, Ed, receiving the blame for his disappearance. When a fame-eager, ambitious assistant district attorney arrives to investigate the vanishing of young Ezra, Judith is quickly forced to balance her love and loyalty for her only brother with the overwhelming devastation and heartbreak she feels for her beloved, missing Ezra. Amid a reckless and ongoing criminal trial and quickly-deteriorating relationship with her younger sister, Francis, Judith must contend with a self-sacrificing decision that will eliminate her personal hopes and dreams for the future, but will save her brother's life. Years later, the cruel course of destiny has Judith trapped in an emotionally, psychologically, and physically abusive marriage, her only saving grace: her five-year-old son. Once more faced with an extreme decision of selfless abandon, Judith finds her fate dangling in the hands of not only the state of Mississippi's judicial system, but also the slow-changing, ever-fickle, and often unjustified court of social and public opinion. Set between the infamous Emmett Till murder of 1955 and the Civil Rights Act of 1964, His Name Was Ezra tells the riveting tale of one young woman's incredible journey of love, personal sacrifice, family loyalty, and forgiveness, and a region and nation's deep-rooted struggle with race and gender discrimination.
Book Synopsis Following Ezra by : Tom Fields-Meyer

Book excerpt: A heartwarming, intimate, and amusing memoir of a father’s experience raising his autistic son. When Tom Fields-Meyer’s son Ezra was three and showing early signs of autism, a therapist suggested that the father needed to grieve. “For what?” Tom asked. The answer: “For the child he didn't turn out to be.” That moment helped strengthen the author’s resolve to do just the opposite: to love the child Ezra was, a quirky boy with a fascinating and complex mind. Full of tender moments and unexpected humor, Following Ezra is the story of a father and son on a ten-year journey from Ezra’s diagnosis to the dawn of his adolescence. It celebrates his growth from a toddler to an extraordinary young man, connected in his own remarkable ways to the world around him. And through Ezra’s eyes, Tom—and, in turn, the reader—gains a new and beautiful understanding of the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ONE OF BARACK OBAMA’S FAVORITE BOOKS OF THE YEAR “The best science-fiction nonfiction novel I’ve ever read.” —Jonathan Lethem "If I could get policymakers, and citizens, everywhere to read just one book this year, it would be Kim Stanley Robinson’s The Ministry for the Future." —Ezra Klein (Vox) The Ministry for the Future is a masterpiece of the imagination, using fictional eyewitness accounts to tell the story of how climate change will affect us all. Its setting is not a desolate, postapocalyptic world, but a future that is almost upon us. Chosen by Barack Obama as one of his favorite books of the year, this extraordinary novel from visionary science fiction writer Kim Stanley Robinson will change the way you think about the climate crisis. "One hopes that this book is read widely—that Robinson’s audience, already large, grows by an order of magnitude. Because the point of his books is to fire the imagination."―New York Review of Books "If there’s any book that hit me hard this year, it was Kim Stanley Robinson’s The Ministry for the Future, a sweeping epic about climate change and humanity’s efforts to try and turn the tide before it’s too late." ―Polygon (Best of the Year) "Masterly." —New Yorker "[The Ministry for the Future] struck like a mallet hitting a gong, reverberating through the year ... it’s terrifying, unrelenting, but ultimately hopeful. Robinson is the SF writer of my lifetime, and this stands as some of his best work. It’s my book of the year." —Locus "Science-fiction visionary Kim Stanley Robinson makes the case for quantitative easing our way out of planetary doom." ―Bloomberg Green

Her parents have forced her to move to the Ordinary World and that means -- new home, new school and worst of all, no magic! Seriously?! A witch without magic? That's LITERALLY tragic. Ruby has to leave behind her broomstick (and walk everywhere -- YUCK!) and her friends (no more watching Hex Factor together on a Saturday night). She's absolutely STARVING with no snack spell, and there's no way to get revenge on the mean girls at her boring new school without a good curse. Despite her best witching efforts, the Ordinary World remains tragically magic-deprived, until Ruby receives a mysterious hext that seems to offer an answer. That is, if she can figure out what it means and, more importantly, who sent it.

Download or read book The Snowy Day written by Ezra Jack Keats and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2012-10-11 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The magic and wonder of winter’s first snowfall is perfectly captured in Ezra Jack Keat’s Caldecott Medal-winning picture book. Young readers can enjoy this celebrated classic as a full-sized board book, perfect for read-alouds of all kinds and a great gift for the holiday season. In 1962, a little boy named Peter put on his snowsuit and stepped out of his house and into the hearts of millions of readers. Universal in its appeal, this story beautifully depicts a child's wonder at a new world, and the hope of capturing and keeping that wonder forever. This big, sturdy edition will bring even more young readers to the story of Peter and his adventures in the snow. Ezra Jack Keats was also the creator of such classics as Goggles, A Letter to Amy, Pet Show!, Peter’s Chair, and A Whistle for Willie. (This book is also available in Spanish, as Un dia de nieve.) Praise for The Snowy Day: “Keats made Peter’s world so inviting that it beckons us. Perhaps the busyness of daily life in the 21st century makes us appreciate Peter even more—a kid who has the luxury of a whole day to just be outside, surrounded by snow that’s begging to be enjoyed.” —The Atlantic "Ezra Jack Keats's classic The Snowy Day, winner of the 1963 Caldecott Medal, pays homage to the wonder and pure pleasure a child experiences when the world is blanketed in snow."—Publisher's Weekly

Book Synopsis My Name Is Ezra by : Cynthia Thillet
Download or read book My Name Is Ezra written by Cynthia Thillet and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-12-08 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this Reader's Favorite five-star rated book, author Cynthia Thillet takes us on Ezra's journey from childhood to death by crucifixion next to Jesus of Nazareth. Along the way he meets various biblical people including John the Baptist, the woman at the well and Jesus himself. We learn through his words about experiences that caused him to be condemned to death as well as why he became known as "The Good Thief." We identify with Ezra as he tries many times to straighten out his life, but just doesn't seem to be able to do it on his own. You will want to have several copies of this book to share with seekers. While it is a work of fiction, eternal truths reveal themselves in an appealing story that could very well have occurred as told. "My Name Is Ezra covers familiar territory in one regard, the forgiving of our sins by accepting Jesus as our Lord and Savior, but also works on another level through the recounting of Ezra's upbringing; that of parental involvement in a child's formative years, or lack thereof. A worthy message for our times. Ms. Thillet's sparse prose evokes a sense of time and place, and her clever spin on the age-old tale of sin and ultimate redemption in the eyes of God is well told and well worth the reader's investment." - Neil A White for Reader's Favorite "The author, Cynthia Thillet, has taken an unusual approach by setting out the life of one of the lesser known characters of the Bible. Giving an authentic and believable account of an insignificant person's life journey, she manages to build the character of Ezra into a memorable character, culminating in the words of Jesus at the crucifixion. 'Today you will be with me in paradise.' This story brings to life and reality many people and situations from the Bible and really works well to reflect the social issues, the era, and the harshness of life in biblical times." - Jane Finch for Reader's Favorite "My Name Is Ezra: The Thief on the Cross by Cynthia Thillet is an inspirational story told in a warm, arresting tone. It is the story of one of the thieves crucified beside Jesus on the cross. Starting from his childhood, Ezra takes readers into his family dynamics, exploring some of the customs and traditions of his people. For instance, he tells readers that his mother was betrothed at thirteen and married his father at fourteen. Ezra, thief and runaway slave, while hanging on the cross begins to contemplate his life, going through the events of his life and the missed opportunities to heed the call and message of Jesus. In fact, he recounts his encounter with John the Baptist, and powerful moments like the Sermon on the Mount, but why didn't he follow Jesus when he had the chance? The story is told in Ezra's own words, a narrative voice that is absorbing and the reader is transported into the world of spiritual realities, where our mortality intersects with the hope of redemption. On the cross, he doesn't lose hope, and encouraged by the warm smile of Jesus, he says: "Remember me when you come into your kingdom." This is a story that captures powerful moments in the life of a sinner, culminating in his ultimate experience of forgiveness and redemption. The story will remind readers of the beauty of the Gospel while entertaining them, awakening a soothing spiritual atmosphere in their souls. My Name Is Ezra: The Thief on the Cross is written in excellent prose and readers will enjoy the character development as well as elements of the setting - cultural, spiritual, and physical. Cynthia Thillet has created a character who will forever remind readers of where they come from and their ultimate destiny. Highly inspiring!" - Divine Zape for Reader's Favorite

This book was released on 2017-04-25 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the popular YouTube channel Mama Natural, this is the first week-by-week natural pregnancy book for soon-to-be moms. For the last half-century, control over childbirth has been in favor of doctors. Many pregnancy guidebooks are conventional, fear-based, and written by male physicians deeply entrenched in the old-school medical model of birth. But change is underway. A groundswell of women are taking back their pregnancy and childbirth and embracing a natural way. Genevieve Howland, the woman behind the enormously popular Mama Natural blog and YouTube channel, has created an inspiring, fun, and informative guide that demystifies natural pregnancy and walks mom through the process one week at a time. The Mama Natural’s Week-by-Week Guide to Pregnancy and Childbirth is the modern (and yet ancient) approach to pregnancy and childbirth. “Natural” recognizes that pregnancy and birth are normal, and that having a baby is a wondrous biological process and rite of passage—not a medical condition. This book draws upon the latest research showing how beneficial and life-changing natural birth is for both babies and moms. Full of weekly advice and tips for a healthy pregnancy, Howland details vital nutrition to take, natural remedies for common and troublesome symptoms, as well as the appropriate (and inappropriate) use of interventions. Peppered throughout are positive birth and pregnancy stories from women of all backgrounds (and all stages of their natural journey) along with advice and insights from a Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM) plus a Registered Nurse (RN), doula, and lactation consultant. Encouraging, well-researched, and fun, The Mama Natural’s Week-by-Week Guide to Pregnancy and Childbirth will be an essential companion for women everywhere to embrace natural pregnancy and reap all the benefits for both baby and mama.

Book Synopsis Ezra Pound Among the Poets by : George Bornstein
Download or read book Ezra Pound Among the Poets written by George Bornstein and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1988-10-03 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Be influenced by as many great writers as you can," said Ezra Pound. Pound was an "assimilative poet" par excellence, as George Bornstein calls him, a writer who more often "adhered to a . . . classical conception of influence as benign and strengthening" than to an anxiety model of influence. To study Pound means to study also his precursors—Homer, Ovid, Li Po, Dante, Whitman, Browning—as well as his contemporaries—Yeats, Williams, and Eliot. These poets, discussed here by ten distinguished critics, stimulated Pound's most important poetic encounters with the literature of Greece, Rome, China, Tuscany, England, and the United States. Fully half of these essays draw on previously unpublished manuscripts.
