As Shinoni and Keena work to overcome disaster at every turn, they are joined by Tewa, a powerful she-wolf who becomes their guardian and spirit guide.

Book Synopsis Wolfe's History: A Family Story by : Brendan Wolfe
Download or read book Wolfe's History: A Family Story written by Brendan Wolfe and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-07-18 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wolfe's History, by the author of Finding Bix (2017), wraps its arms around a single, sprawling Irish and American family. In an opening essay, Wolfe introduces a cast of larger-than-life characters-from an Old West barkeep and a Gold Rush pharmacist to an IRA fugitive and a British recruit whose loyalties are tested during the Easter Rising. Together these fast-talking, writerly cousins live intricate lives that move quickly between past and present-complete with periodic and sudden outbursts of violence. A man is set ablaze on the prairie. A Jesuit is tortured in Dublin Castle. In the author's sure hands, their stories are converted into something broader and more searching than just a single family's journey. He wonders what binds the Wolfes together in the first place and whether the experiences of his own immediate family subvert the connections he feels with his ancestors. A biographical dictionary and fifty pages of family trees complete this impressive volume.
Book Synopsis Christian Women in Chinese Society by : Wai Ching Angela Wong
Download or read book Christian Women in Chinese Society written by Wai Ching Angela Wong and published by Hong Kong University Press. This book was released on 2018-07-17 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christian Women in Chinese Society: The Anglican Story expands on the long-standing debates about whether Christianity is a collaborator in or a liberating force against the oppressive patriarchal culture for women in Asia. Women have played an important role in the history of Chinese Christianity, but their contributions have yet to receive due recognition, partly because of the complexities arising out of the historical tension between Western imperialism and Chinese patriarchy. Single women missionaries and missionary spouses in the nineteenth century set the early examples of what women could do to spread the Gospel, yet they might not have intended to instill the same free spirit into their Chinese converts. The education provided to Chinese women by missionaries was expected to turn them into good wives and mothers, but knowledge empowered the students, allowing them to become full participants not only in the Church but also in the wider society. Together, the Western female missionaries and the Chinese women whom they trained explored their newfound freedom and tried out their roles with the help of each other. These developments culminated in the ordination of Florence Li Tim Oi to priesthood in 1944, a singular event that fundamentally changed the history of the Anglican Communion. At the heart of this collection lies the rich experience of those women, both Chinese and Western, who devoted their lives to the propagation of Anglicanism across different regions of mainland China and Hong Kong. Contributors make the most of the sources to reconstruct their voices and present sympathetic accounts of these remarkable women’s achievements. “This inspiring volume restores women converts and missionaries to their central place in the history of Chinese Christianity. Its critical re-evaluation of the contribution of women to the Anglican church in China reconfigures our understanding of mission and of the construct of Chinese womanhood.” —Chloë Starr, Yale University “This engaging volume provides a rounded and nuanced picture of the role of women in the history of the Anglican church in China by approaching it from multiple perspectives. A must-read for those interested in Asian Christianity or the role of women in the history of the church.” —Judith Berling, Graduate Theological Union “This wide-ranging collection offers a re-appraisal of the role of women in Anglican mission in China. Careful and detailed scholarship allows women’s often painful stories to be told afresh. Like all good collections, this book serves to challenge assumptions, stimulate research, and provoke further questions.” —Mark D. Chapman, University of Oxford
Book Synopsis Conversations with Tom Wolfe by : Dorothy McInnis Scura
Download or read book Conversations with Tom Wolfe written by Dorothy McInnis Scura and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 1990 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literary journalist, ""lowly social historian,"" ""chronicler of his times,"" and ""champion of realism"" are among the many epithets heaped upon Tom Wolfe by himself and his myriad admirers and critics. In this collection of interviews spanning his richly productive career, Wolfe is seen as a writer imitating no one and riding the crest of each latest wave in contemporary America. For more than a quarter of a century he has been the vivid and varied chronicler of our time--from the Californian car customizers and Ken Kesey's Merry Pranksters of the sixties to the ambition-driven inhabitants of New York City in the eighties. His hybrid of reporting and fiction-writing has received perhaps more applause than any other literary journalism, and his first major work of fiction, Bonfire of the Vanities, rested at the top of the bestseller lists for more than a year. Here is Tom Wolfe talking--about the subjects of his eight books, about the writers he admires, about the discipline of writing, about his politics and his disposition to satire and parody. As he explains his attempt ""to show the world 'life in our times,'"" this collection of delightfully witty and informative interviews reveals the insights and the intellect of one of America's brightest and most appealing authors.

Book excerpt: Just like any dysfunctional family reunion, loyalty, love, and good times soon turn to bitterness, regret, and promises to never see one another again. At the end of the day, the Banks sisters are no different than any other family in the city of Richmond—other than the fact that they are rotten to the core. Sure, the girls are bonded by D.N.A, but they’re also tied together because of their past of robbing banks, extortion, drug dealing, and even cold-blooded murder. However, that bond means absolutely nothing to them. When it comes down to it, it is every sister for herself, even if it means throwing her siblings underneath the bus to avoid the consequences of their many crimes. Sisterly love be damned; this is survival!

Book Synopsis Thy Kingdom Come 爾國臨格 by : Philip L. Wickeri 魏克利
Download or read book Thy Kingdom Come 爾國臨格 written by Philip L. Wickeri 魏克利 and published by Hong Kong University Press. This book was released on 2019-06-28 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Celebrating the twentieth anniversary of the formation of the Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui (Anglican Church) Province in 2018, Thy Kingdom Come: A Photographic History of Anglicanism in Hong Kong, Macau, and Mainland China is a richly illustrated history of the past 200 years. Although connected to the British colonial government, Hong Kong bishops always sought to relate the Church to Chinese society, making this story predominantly Chinese. The book is divided into five parts. Part I explores the beginnings of Anglican and Episcopal missions in China. Part II relates the history of the Chung Hua Sheng Kung Hui (CHSKH) from 1912 to 1951, a turbulent time in China, when the church’s challenge was to respond to change in every facet of society. Part III illustrates the history of the Diocese from 1951 to 1981, during which new churches, schools, and clinics were established. Part IV records Hong Kong’s transition from colonial rule to the return to China; it was during these years that Bishop Peter Kong-kit Kwong developed parish ministries, strengthened missions in education and social welfare, and solidified relations with the church in China. Part V describes new developments in the Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui. With almost 180 photos, Thy Kingdom Come brings Church history to life in a way no prose history ever could. 《爾國臨格：港澳及內地聖公宗圖片史》豐富地勾勒出香港聖公會過往 200年的歷史，以慶賀香港聖公會教省成立20週年（2018）。縱然聖公會與英國殖民政府有著千絲萬縷的聯繫，但香港的主教常常尋求教會與中國社會的連結，從而使整部歷史成為了一部以華人敘事為主的歷史。 本書分為五部分。第一部分探索了在華聖公宗早期之歷史；第二部分則講述1912–1951年中華聖公會的歷史，其時中國正處於一個動盪的時代，教會需回應因社會變遷所帶來的挑戰；第三部分勾勒出1951–1981年的教區歷史，此時新的教堂、學校及醫院紛紛落成；第四部分記錄了香港從殖民地到回歸中國的轉變。其時正值鄺廣傑主教主理時期，鄺主教發展了牧區事工，並加強了教育、社會福利方面的服務，亦鞏固了與中國教會的關係；第五部分則描述了香港聖公會新的發展方向。 《爾國臨格：港澳及內地聖公宗圖片史》一書收錄了近180張照片，使教會歷史栩栩如生地重現眼前，這是僅用文字來敘述歷史所無法達到的。 “This beautiful book is a moving witness to the work of God in Hong Kong, Macau, and mainland China. It pays tribute to all those who faithfully proclaimed and responded to the word of God, and to the vibrancy of the life of the Church in that province. I thoroughly recommend it, both home and abroad, for those looking at their own history and those learning of the church universal.” —Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury 「這部優美的歷史圖集，是上帝在港澳地區及中國內地神妙作為的動人見證。她向滿有生機活力的香港教省，以及所有忠誠傳揚和回應上帝聖言的人表達了敬意。我全心全意地將這部圖集推薦予全世界每一位關注自身歷史和普世教會的人。」 ──坎特伯里大主教賈斯汀•韋爾比 “This book is an invaluable resource to understand the history of the Chinese Anglican Church. Each picture tells a different story of the people or mission work of the Church. Together they form a colorful mosaic of Christians whose work has furthered God’s Kingdom.” ─Professor Kwok Pui Lan, Emory University, USA 「本書為了解聖公會在華歷史提供了珍貴資料。每幀圖片勾勒了教會領袖或宣教事工的故事，整體像一幅多彩的鑲嵌畫，表明信徒如何促進天國降臨。」──美國埃默里大學教授郭佩蘭

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hannah Langdon loves working with the dead. As an embalmer at the Max Grace Funeral Home in the inner city Sydney suburb of Balmain, she considers it an honor and a privilege to prepare someone for their final resting place. But recently, a couple of her work colleagues have been killed in horrible accidents. The fact that these people lived on the fringes of Sydney society and had no one to mourn them doesn’t ease Hannah’s turmoil. And then she reconnects with a man from her past, a man she’d rather forget and her life becomes a whole lot more turbulent. Doctor Jacob Black is now a highly respected emergency room doctor who works in the reputable Sydney Harbour Hospital, but she remembers him only as the eighteen-year-old drunk driver who killed her high school boyfriend. Then Jacob’s twin goes missing and Hannah wants to know why. After all, the last time she saw him was at the Max Grace Funeral Home… What is happening to the people employed at the funeral home? Hannah can’t help but think she might be next…
