Book Description
STORYTELLING AT ITS BEST FOR TWEENS & TEENS - FAITH & FAMILY-FRIENDLY - Book 1 in the Footsteps in the Canyon Adventure Series Thirteen-year-old Caitlyn knew that many feet had walked over the beautiful high meadow and into the deep rugged canyon she loved so much near her family’s guest ranch in the Oklahoma Panhandle. In addition to the hooves, padded paws, claws, and talons that still roamed this untamed land, there were the footsteps of boots, shoes, and moccasins of centuries past that had left their mark with stories to be told. What Caitlyn didn’t know was just how personal all those stories would become as she and her homeschooled friends left their own footsteps in the canyon. This exceptionally researched historical fiction series for tweens and teens combines stories from the present day with those of the settlers pushing West in the late 1800s and from the lives of the Kiowa Indians a century earlier. A GIFT FROM THE PAST (Story 1) Caitlyn’s discovery of a tragedy in the canyon by her home was unexpected. That day, she was only wishing to rest her eyes from staring at the computer screen and at the puzzle called mathematics. But this discovery was a different kind of puzzle, and with each piece she set in place, it squeezed her heart a little more. Yet she was drawn to it like a moth to a flame and would cherish it for the rest of her life. THE BIG WIND (Story 2) Over the years, many people had lived on the high meadow beside the box canyon, including those of the tipi village a hundred years ago. Now, thirteen-year-old Caitlyn lives on the same high meadow. She visits the same canyon with the river running through it. She feels the same sunshine and rain and even the whirling cone of wind dropping out of the clouds—that fearsome funnel of air and debris known as the twister. Staying safe would not be easy.

Heaven's Breath
Author: Lyall Watson
Publisher: New York Review of Books
ISBN: 168137370X
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 401
Book Description
A “comprehensive and fascinating study” of how wind has shaped the world as we know it, affecting all aspects of human and natural life—from geography to political history, plant life to psychology, and biology to philosophy (The Observer) Wind is everywhere and nowhere. Wind is the circulatory system of the earth, and its nervous system, too. Energy and information flow through it. It brings warmth and water, enriches and strips away the soil, aerates the globe. Wind shapes the lives of animals, humans among them. Trade follows the path of the wind, as empire also does. Wind made the difference in wars between the Greeks and Persians, the Mongols and the Japanese. Wind helped to destroy the Spanish Armada. And wind is no less determining of our inner lives: the föhn, mistral, sirocco, Santa Ana, and other “ill winds” of the world are correlated with disease, suicide, and even murder. Heaven’s Breath is an encyclopedic and enchanting book that opens dazzling new perspectives on history, nature, and humanity.

Confessions of a Born-Again Pagan
Author: Anthony T. Kronman
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300224915
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 1174
Book Description
In this passionate and searching book, Anthony Kronman offers a third way—beyond atheism and religion—to the God of the modern world We live in an age of disenchantment. The number of self-professed “atheists” continues to grow. Yet many still feel an intense spiritual longing for a connection to what Aristotle called the “eternal and divine.” For those who do, but demand a God that is compatible with their modern ideals, a new theology is required. This is what Anthony Kronman offers here, in a book that leads its readers away from the inscrutable Creator of the Abrahamic religions toward a God whose inexhaustible and everlasting presence is that of the world itself. Kronman defends an ancient conception of God, deepened and transformed by Christian belief—the born-again paganism on which modern science, art, and politics all vitally depend. Brilliantly surveying centuries of Western thought—from Plato to Augustine, Aquinas, and Kant, from Spinoza to Nietzsche, Darwin, and Freud—Kronman recovers and reclaims the God we need today.
