Book Description
“The longtime chronicler of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula . . . gives eloquent expression to death and the grieving process.” —Booklist Hailed by The New York Times Book Review as “a master . . . who makes the ordinary extraordinary, the unnamable unforgettable,” beloved author Jim Harrison returns with a masterpiece—a tender, profound, and magnificent novel about life, death, and finding redemption in unlikely places. Donald is a middle-aged Chippewa-Finnish man slowly dying of Lou Gehrig’s Disease. His condition deteriorating, he realizes no one will be able to pass on to his children their family history once he is gone. He begins dictating to his wife, Cynthia, stories he has never shared with anyone as around him, his family struggles to lay him to rest with the same dignity with which he has lived. Over the course of the year following Donald’s death, his daughter begins studying Chippewa ideas of death for clues about her father’s religion, while Cynthia, bereft of the family she created to escape the malevolent influence of her own father, finds that redeeming the past is not a lost cause. Returning to Earth is a deeply moving book about origins and endings, making sense of loss, and living with honor for the dead. It is among the finest novels of Harrison’s long, storied career, and confirms his standing as one of the most important American writers. “A deeply felt meditation on life and death, nature and God, this is one of Harrison’s finest works.” —Library Journal

All Things New
Author: John Eldredge
Publisher: Thomas Nelson
ISBN: 0718038002
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 239
Book Description
New York Times bestselling author John Eldredge offers readers a breathtaking look into God’s promise for a new heaven and a new earth. This revolutionary book about our future is based on the simple idea that, according to the Bible, heaven is not our eternal home--the New Earth is. As Jesus says in the gospel of Matthew, the next chapter of our story begins with "the renewal of all things," by which he means the earth we love in all its beauty, our own selves, and the things that make for a rich life: music, art, food, laughter and all that we hold dear. Everything shall be renewed "when the world is made new." More than anything else, how you envision your future shapes your current experience. If you knew that God was going to restore your life and everything you love any day; if you believed a great and glorious goodness was coming to you--not in a vague heaven but right here on this earth--you would have a hope to see you through anything, an anchor for your soul, "an unbreakable spiritual lifeline, reaching past all appearances right to the very presence of God" (Hebrews 6:19). Most Christians (most people for that matter) fail to look forward to their future because their view of heaven is vague, religious, and frankly boring. Hope begins when we understand that for the believer nothing is lost. Heaven is not a life in the clouds; it is not endless harp-strumming or worship-singing. Rather, the life we long for, the paradise Adam and Eve knew, is precisely the life that is coming to us. And that life is coming soon.

Coming Home to Earth
Author: Mark S. Brocker
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1498221742
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 199
Book Description
As a young Norwegian Lutheran teenager in rural Wisconsin, Brocker lay awake one night worrying whether he believed in Jesus enough to get to heaven. This getting-to-heaven anxiety reflected an excessive focus on individual salvation and a loss of concern for the well-being of the Earth community. A faith journey that leaves Earth behind is misguided. Ever since those early teen years Brocker has been on a journey to come home to Earth. Coming Home to Earth makes the case that there is no salvation apart from Earth and that Earth care is at the core of our identity and mission as followers of Jesus. The ecological consequences of a loss of concern for the well-being of Earth have been devastating. Brocker is especially concerned to determine what will motivate followers of Jesus to make radical changes in our way of life so that we can participate in the healing of wounded Earth and all of its inhabitants, both human and nonhuman. We are far more likely to make needed sacrifices for our fellow creatures if we share God's delight in and affection for them, and cherish Earth as our home.

2012... the Year Jesus (Yeshua) Finally Came Back to Earth
Author: Dante P. Chelossi Jr
Publisher: Trafford Publishing
ISBN: 1466952202
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 313
Book Description
This controversial subject matter about the return of Jesus (Yeshua) to earth in modern times to come face-to-face with humanity once again after almost twenty centuries has been something thought about and anticipated by millions of people since the time of his physical departure. There is also the human curiosity about what would happen if and when he did actually return to earth. There have been many times when this event was predicted over the centuries, about when he would arrive, and every time, it did not happen. Patience and faith still continued afterwards, after much disappointment of the believers. This hope of his return is embedded within the souls of millions of people on our planet. Even though this story in this book is fiction, it will still make the reader wonder about how he or she would react if someone were to show up one day in the near future, on a world stage, and declare that he is indeed the very same man that modern-day people call Jesus (Yeshua), who was crucified on a wooden cross almost two thousand years ago by the Romans. Certainly, unarguable proof from this man claiming to be Jesus (Yeshua) would need to be so utterly convincing that even nonbelievers who are not necessarily religious would be convinced without argument. The author will be able to show an event that he has created in this book and prove to anyone that if this event were to actually happen before their eyes, it would be hard for them to deny that this person is, in fact, who he claims to be. This event is so extraordinary and unbelievable that denial that this person is Jesus (Yeshua) would be impossible!
