Thirty Years That Changed the World
Author: Michael Green
Publisher: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing
ISBN: 1467465682
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 333
Book Description
The first Christians turned the world upside down in the space of a generation. How can we learn from them today? In this book Michael Green opens up the gripping story of Acts, highlighting the volcanic eruption of faith described there and contrasting it with the often halfhearted Christianity of the modern Western world. Green explores the life and faith of the Christians of Acts, answering such questions as, What kind of people were they? How did they live? And how did they organize and practice as members of the new church? Besides describing life in the early church, Green discusses how we today can apply the first Christians’ dynamic efforts at church planting, pastoral care, social concern, gospel proclamation, and prayer. Combining trusted scholarship with a popular, enjoyable writing style, Thirty Years That Changed the World is an ideal book for church, group, or personal study.

The Years
Author: Annie Ernaux
Publisher: Seven Stories Press
ISBN: 160980788X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 174
Book Description
WINNER OF THE 2022 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE One of the New York Times’s 100 Best Books of the 21st Century Shortlisted for the 2019 Man Booker International Prize Considered by many to be the iconic French memoirist's defining work and a breakout bestseller when published in France in 2008 The Years is a personal narrative of the period 1941 to 2006 told through the lens of memory, impressions past and present—even projections into the future—photos, books, songs, radio, television and decades of advertising, headlines, contrasted with intimate conflicts and writing notes from 6 decades of diaries. Local dialect, words of the times, slogans, brands and names for the ever-proliferating objects, are given voice here. The voice we recognize as the author's continually dissolves and re-emerges. Ernaux makes the passage of time palpable. Time itself, inexorable, narrates its own course, consigning all other narrators to anonymity. A new kind of autobiography emerges, at once subjective and impersonal, private and collective. On its 2008 publication in France, The Years came as a surprise. Though Ernaux had for years been hailed as a beloved, bestselling and award-winning author, The Years was in many ways a departure: both an intimate memoir "written" by entire generations, and a story of generations telling a very personal story. Like the generation before hers, the narrator eschews the "I" for the "we" (or "they", or "one") as if collective life were inextricably intertwined with a private life that in her parents' generation ceased to exist. She writes of her parents' generation (and could be writing of her own book): "From a common fund of hunger and fear, everything was told in the "we" and impersonal pronouns." Co-winner of the 2018 French-American Foundation Translation Prize in Nonfiction Winner of the 2017 Marguerite Yourcenar Prize for her entire body of work Winner of the 2016 Strega European Prize

Book Description
A full-length book of poems by Doug Ramspeck. Praise for the book: "A butchered horse in falling snow; a father teaching his son the brutal rites of manhood; crows, newlyweds, and the "nomad moon"-these are some of the indelible images in Doug Ramspeck's lushly elegiac Book of Years. With a storyteller's perfect pitch and a pilgrim's restless eye, Ramspeck plumbs the ever present now of memory in poems that are alive to mystery, to the wasp in a glass jar that "keeps humming/a primordial tune . . . as though all of life is a vibration." Annie Kim, author of Eros, Unbroken "These poems are elaborate and evocative constructs that offer insight and, more significantly, consolation, which is something we need, it might be said, now more than ever." George Looney, author of The Itinerate Circus: New and Selected Poems 1995-2020
