Book Description
An inspirational fictional story about a young man's quest to find a Brahma bull sold illegally into the rodeo circuit. A unique pet (Tuff Bramble), he and his father raised it from birth. Jacob's search rekindles the values and respect he has for his father and grandfather. This two-and-a-half-year modern-day quest leads him into the professional rodeo circuit, culminating in an epic championship win at the nationals in Sedona, Arizona. This is a story about a boy who had traveled with his parents, crossing the country in the rodeo circuit. After his parents are killed in a tragic car accident, he is sent to an orphanage until he was of age to go out on his own. In an effort to find new friends, he gets involved in illegal things and finds himself in a man's prison. Lucky enough to have people who knew his deceased parents, he is nurtured and protected. After serving some years, he is released and finds himself wandering on a lonely highway in Eastern Texas. Hungry and thirsty and feeling weak, he stumbles upon a dwindling ranch in need of repairs. With great help from God, the rancher recognizes the young man and takes him in. Several years later, he marries the rancher's daughter and has a son. From birth, he teaches his son all he knows of ranching and animals. He also raised two orphaned girls and treats them as his own. Eighteen years later, he has a sudden heart attack and passes away. His son gives up a college career to go in search of the pet Brahma bull his father and he had raised from a sickly calf. This two-year search culminates in a professional rodeo career and an entourage of people who greatly love and respect him in his search. With some turmoil and special people along the way, the young man finds his special pet and is determined to overcome great odds to win him back. With a stunning and violent ending, the young man overcomes the odds and wins with a spectacular ending.

The Bramble Bush - Pages from Dell's Book of Life
Author: Adelle Bradford
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 055707360X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 435
Book Description
Most human beings have their own private places, places to hide, places to conceal their most tender feelings, places to dream, cry, nurse wounds and heal, undisturbed by casual public scrutiny, uncaring passersby. I visualize my private place as a big, leafy-green bramble bush, full of protective thorns. These thorns are long and sharp, to be sure, but they are not poisonous. They are there to protect my private place and keep intruders away - - unless I decide to invite them in - - and they do provide safe, secure perches for visitors . . . like you. "I think of my life as a book. It has a beginning and an end, with a finite number of pages in between. Across the years, there have been certain moments, certain feelings and moods, certain experiences and observations, certain days - - good and bad - - that linger in memory, bookmarks in a commonplace life. I am not an artist but I try to paint my sketches and pictures with words, brush stroke word by brush stroke word."

Power and Politics in the Book of Judges
Author: John C. Yoder
Publisher: Fortress Press
ISBN: 1451496621
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
John C. Yoder examines political culture and behavior in the book of Judges. Although the Deuteronomistic editor portrayed the "judges" as moral champions, the men and women of valor were preoccupied with the problem of gaining and maintaining political power. They were ambitious, at times ruthless; they might be labeled chiefs, strongmen, or even warlords in today's world, using violence, patronage, and the control of the labor and reproductive capacity of subordinates, as well as other strategies that did not require the constant exercise of force.

Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 227
Book Description
Written generations ago, but highly relevant today, The Bramble Bush remains one of the books most recommended for students to read when considering law school, just before beginning its study, or early in the first semester. Its first edition began as a collection from a series of introductory lectures given by legal legend Karl Llewellyn to new law students at Columbia University. It still speaks to law, legal reasoning, and exam-taking skills in a way that makes it a classic for each new generation. The Quid Pro Legal Legends Edition includes an extensive, practical, and modern Introduction by Stewart Macaulay, a senior law professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Macaulay updates the current reader on the book's continued relevance and application, offers a practical perspective to new law students, and places the original edition in its historical context. Simply put, Macaulay writes, this "is a book that anyone interested in law schools or law should read." The Quid Pro Books edition of the classic work also includes several unobtrusive annotations, to update the reader on legal terms and cultural references made in the original that may not be clear to today's reader. Moreover, this is a carefully proofread and presented edition, lacking the errors and scanning mistakes of other presses' editions in print. It is also available in paperback and clothbound formats from Quid Pro, including the annotations and new Introduction by Prof. Macaulay.

Inspiring and practical, this is a lovely resource for anyone looking to grow fruit trees or start an orchard, whether in your garden or as a community project. For centuries, orchards have been a compelling and important part of our landscape. The sight of a fruit tree, blushing in blossom in the spring, and then laden with fresh fruit in the summer and autumn, can be truly enchanting, inspiring folklore and art. Not only do orchards provide bountiful fruit for families and communities, they are also attractive to pollinators such as bees, and make a wonderful habitat for birds. There are many ways of incorporating orchard living into your lifestyle, no matter how busy or short of space you are. Written by esteemed horticulturalist Naomi Slade, this gloriously illustrated resource illuminates the possibilities and enables you to make it a reality – whether you have a few fruit trees already or have always wanted an orchard of your own. An Orchard Odyssey shows you how to plant and care for your trees and suggests fruit trees suitable for different spaces. It also covers the benefits of orchard for conservation and biodiversity, orchard heritage, and the role of fruit trees in garden and landscape design. The guide promotes the 'five trees' principle of orchards, and encourages the reader to embrace the orchards in a way that is personal to them. Packed with practical ideas and inspiration, let this delightful book encourage you to re-engage with tree fruit in new ways: look at it the right way and everyone can have an orchard.
