Bright Precious Thing
Author: Gail Caldwell
Publisher: Random House Trade Paperbacks
ISBN: 0525510079
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
From the New York Times bestselling author of Let’s Take the Long Way Home comes a moving memoir about how the women’s movement revolutionized and saved her life, from the 1960s to the Me Too era. In a voice as candid as it is evocative, Gail Caldwell traces a path from her west Texas girlhood through her emergence as a young daredevil, then as a feminist—a journey that reflected seismic shifts in the culture itself. Caldwell’s travels took her to California and Mexico and dark country roads, and the dangers she encountered were rivaled only by the personal demons she faced. Bright Precious Thing is the captivating story of a woman’s odyssey, her search for adventure giving way to something more profound: the evolution of a writer and a woman, a struggle to embrace one’s life as a precious thing. Told against a contrasting backdrop of the present day, including the author’s friendship with a young neighborhood girl, Bright Precious Thing unfolds with the same heart and narrative grace of Caldwell’s Let’s Take the Long Way Home, called “a lovely gift to readers” by The Washington Post. Bright Precious Thing is a book about finding, then protecting, what we cherish most.

With You Every Step of the Way
Author: Christopher B. Wolf
Publisher: Tate Publishing
ISBN: 1617778389
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
Where are you on your faith journey? Many have described faith as a journey, and it seems very accurate and appropriate to do so. Now, to be sure, it's no random jaunt or spree! It is a lifelong expedition with much uncertainty and loneliness. The weight we carry rarely gets lighter, and it requires more strength than we know we have. Along this journey, we lose our way and our confidence. We get distracted and stuck and sometimes become hopeless and despairing, but we also learn and gain wisdom, celebrate and find meaning, and ultimately arrive at discovering who God created us to be and who God really is. As with every long journey, our faith journey needs a map, perhaps even an atlas. Thankfully, each and every step of our journey is intimately and definitively known by our loving God, who is there With You Every Step of the Way. Christopher B. Wolf's new book is for everyone who desires to navigate and draw closer to God along the unpredictable but exhilarating journey of faith. It serves as a 'word atlas' of both the things we need along the way and what we receive: assurance, heart and soul, fellowship, possibilities, and transformation. Formatted for the individual who needs insight and support, as well as for the small group that wants to grow, study, and think together, With You Every Step of the Way includes thoughtful messages as well as reflection questions that will inspire compelling contemplation and discussion. Christopher B. Wolf is the author of Giving Faith a Second Chance: Restarts, Mulligans and Do-Overs. He has served and led churches in New Jersey and Michigan and now lives in Saddle Brook, New Jersey, with his wife, Jennifer, and children, Brian and Madelyn. He also writes a weekly message called Living Water. To sign up and visit with him, go to his website, www.christopherbwolf.com, or you can find him on Facebook and Twitter.

These Precious Days
Author: Ann Patchett
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0063092808
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
The beloved New York Times bestselling author reflects on home, family, friendships and writing in this deeply personal collection of essays. "The elegance of Patchett’s prose is seductive and inviting: with Patchett as a guide, readers will really get to grips with the power of struggles, failures, and triumphs alike." —Publisher's Weekly “Any story that starts will also end.” As a writer, Ann Patchett knows what the outcome of her fiction will be. Life, however, often takes turns we do not see coming. Patchett ponders this truth in these wise essays that afford a fresh and intimate look into her mind and heart. At the center of These Precious Days is the title essay, a surprising and moving meditation on an unexpected friendship that explores “what it means to be seen, to find someone with whom you can be your best and most complete self.” When Patchett chose an early galley of actor and producer Tom Hanks’ short story collection to read one night before bed, she had no idea that this single choice would be life changing. It would introduce her to a remarkable woman—Tom’s brilliant assistant Sooki—with whom she would form a profound bond that held monumental consequences for them both. A literary alchemist, Patchett plumbs the depths of her experiences to create gold: engaging and moving pieces that are both self-portrait and landscape, each vibrant with emotion and rich in insight. Turning her writer’s eye on her own experiences, she transforms the private into the universal, providing us all a way to look at our own worlds anew, and reminds how fleeting and enigmatic life can be. From the enchantments of Kate DiCamillo’s children’s books (author of The Beatryce Prophecy) to youthful memories of Paris; the cherished life gifts given by her three fathers to the unexpected influence of Charles Schultz’s Snoopy; the expansive vision of Eudora Welty to the importance of knitting, Patchett connects life and art as she illuminates what matters most. Infused with the author’s grace, wit, and warmth, the pieces in These Precious Days resonate deep in the soul, leaving an indelible mark—and demonstrate why Ann Patchett is one of the most celebrated writers of our time.

Book Description
Daniel P. Mannix's father and grandfather were distinguished navel officers who expected Daniel to keep up the family tradition. Daniel tried, he really did, but when all those attempting to mold him into a respectable cadet eventually gave up, well, what else can a navel academy flunkie do — TA DA! Join a carnival, of course.

From the pen of a man who lived the life and loved and respected carnival folk, Step Right Up! will take the reader on a comprehensive and highly entertaining excursion into the vanishing world of sideshow performers. Fire-eating and sword swallowing are not tricks, ladies and gentlemen. Allow the talented Daniel P Mannix to explain!
