Book Description
This book is a collection of my poems, hymn texts, and stories of answered, fervent prayer-not only my prayers, but also prayers shared by friends and acquaintances of faith and trust in a God who hears and responds to the concerns of our hearts. My poems and hymn texts are prayers because they arise out of my time in communion with God, often when I am the most broken. They express deep grief and questioning as well as great joy. For me, natural beauty continues to draw me into a closer relationship with the Holy Spirit in my journey to wholeness. Wholeness, I believe, is the desired state of being in which we experience the joy of Heaven on Earth-moments in which we are in complete harmony with God, ourselves, and the entire creation to experience what I call Paradise Within, symbolized for me by the Emerald Leaf.

Captive Paradise
Author: James L. Haley
Publisher: St. Martin's Press
ISBN: 1466855509
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 447
Book Description
The most recent state to join the union, Hawaii is the only one to have once been a royal kingdom. After its "discovery" by Captain Cook in the late 18th Century, Hawaii was fought over by European powers determined to take advantage of its position as the crossroads of the Pacific. The arrival of the first missionaries marked the beginning of the struggle between a native culture with its ancient gods, sexual libertinism and rites of human sacrifice, and the rigid values of the Calvinists. While Hawaii's royal rulers adopted Christianity, they also fought to preserve their ancient ways. But the success of the ruthless American sugar barons sealed their fate and in 1893, the American Marines overthrew Lili'uokalani, the last queen of Hawaii. James L. Haley's Captive Paradise is the story of King Kamehameha I, The Conqueror, who unified the islands through terror and bloodshed, but whose dynasty succumbed to inbreeding; of Gilded Age tycoons like Claus Spreckels who brilliantly outmaneuvered his competitors; of firebrand Lorrin Thurston, who was determined that Hawaii be ruled by whites; of President McKinley, who presided over the eventual annexation of the islands. Not for decades has there been such a vibrant and compelling portrait of an extraordinary place and its people.
