Book Description
Diana is a creative writer who skillfully entwines biblical truths and principles with interesting stories of everyday living. Since her early childhood, the Bible has been planted in her heart through Bible story books, tapes, and LP records, and the love for telling stories has been nurtured. Within these pages, you will meet characters from various walks of life. Some will bring a smile to your face, and others will give you food for thought. The stories are true, though some names have been changed to protect the privacy of individuals. Whether you prefer lighthearted stories or more serious tales, there are stories that can entertain you. Maine culture is carefully portrayed in the characters that come alive within the pages. Be uplifted and encouraged by stories of people whose faith in God has helped them overcome many difficulties in their lives. Read stories of a visit from an angel, a single moms special Christmas, the cat that is the boss at a garage, Mainers whose wealth is measured by love, and the way a homeless veteran found hope. Each story brings home a spiritual truth that once embraced will bring light to your path and strength for the journey.

The Book of (More) Delights
Author: Ross Gay
Publisher: Algonquin Books
ISBN: 1643755471
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
From bestselling author of The Book of Delights and award-winning poet, a book of lyrical mini-essays celebrating the everyday that will inspire readers to rediscover the joys in the world around us. In Ross Gay’s new collection of small, daily wonders, again written over the course of a year, one of America’s most original voices continues his ongoing investigation of delight. For Gay, what delights us is what connects us, what gives us meaning, from the joy of hearing a nostalgic song blasting from a passing car to the pleasure of refusing the “nefarious” scannable QR code menus, from the tiny dog he fell hard for to his mother baking a dozen kinds of cookies for her grandchildren. As always, Gay revels in the natural world—sweet potatoes being harvested, a hummingbird carousing in the beebalm, a sunflower growing out of a wall around the cemetery, the shared bounty from a neighbor’s fig tree—and the trillion mysterious ways this glorious earth delights us. The Book of (More) Delights is a volume to savor and share.

My First Book of Quantum Physics
Author: Sheddad Kaid-Salah Ferrón
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781787080102
Category : Quantum theory
Languages : en
Pages : 48
Book Description
Everything around us - trees, buildings, food, light, water, air and even ourselves - is composed of minute particles, smaller than a nanometre (a billionth of a metre). Quantum physics is the science of these particles and without it none of our electronic devices, from smartphones to computers and microwave ovens, would exist. But quantum physics also pushes us to the very boundaries of what we know about science, reality and the structure of the universe. The world of quantum physics is an amazing place, where quantum particles can do weird and wonderful things, acting totally unlike the objects we experience in day-to-day life. How can atoms exist in two places at once? And just how can a cat be dead and alive at the same time? Find out more with this entertaining illustrated guide to the fascinating, mysterious world of quantum physics.
