Book Description
In the 1930s, as her second marriage approaches, a brilliant and independent sculptor faces tensions between her art and everyday life in this novel by the author of The Good Earth. This Proud Heart narrates the experience of a gifted sculptor and her struggle to reconcile her absorbing career with society’s domestic expectations. Susan Gaylord is talented, loving, equipped with a strong moral sense, and adept at anything she puts her hand to, from housework to playing the piano to working with marble and clay. But the intensity of her artistic calling comes at a price, isolating her from other people—at times, even from her own family. When her husband dies and she remarries, she finds herself once again comparing the sacrifice of solitude to that of commitment. With a heroine who is naturalistic yet compellingly larger than life, This Proud Heart is incomparable in its sympathetic study of character. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Pearl S. Buck including rare images from the author’s estate.

Cause of Our Joy
Author: Mary Francis
Publisher: Ignatius Press
ISBN: 1681497999
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
These meditations on Mary are filled with wisdom and hope. On ordinary days, on Marian holy days, and in times of spiritual and moral challenges, they offer the strength and the consolation that come from a relationship with the Mother of Jesus. Mother Mary Francis, P.C.C., a contemplative Poor Clare nun and an acclaimed spiritual writer, wrote with an intimate familiarity of the Mother of God. To her Mary was real, lovable, and accessible, and her words help the reader to discover that walking with Our Lady day by day is the cause of our unending joy. The book includes reflections for the feasts and solemnities of Mary throughout the year. It incorporates the most cherished Marian prayers of the Church, such as the Rosary, the Litany of Loreto, and the Magnificat. Also included are some of the author's poems and a moving tribute to her life and Marian devotion in the form of a foreword written by her Poor Clare spiritual daughters.

Book Description
I became a Christian in May of 1979. Shortly after I got saved, God started speaking to my heart. God actually speaks to a lot of Christians, but they think it is their own thoughts. He first starts speaking to us through our conscience, and if we will listen and obey, He will get louder and stronger. One word of caution; not every voice you hear is from God. The enemy tries to talk to us, and sound like God, and I can't tell you how to tell the difference between the two. Even after forty years, the enemy still fools me sometimes, but it is much less then it was forty years ago. In II Corinthians 11:14 it speaks of Satan being transformed into an angel of light, actually he is an angel of darkness, but he tries to appear as an angel of God to fool the saints. Be careful whom you follow!

The Pentateuch in the Progressive Revelations of God to Men
Author: Henry Cowles
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1725290995
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 424
Book Description
My reasons for treating the Pentateuch topically rather than textually will be obvious. Criticism on the original text is rarely needed. There is seldom the least occasion to aid the reader in following the line of thought or the course of argument. The demand here is rather for the discussion and due presentation of the great themes of the book. My plan has therefore aimed to meet this demand, discussing these themes critically so far as seemed necessary either because of their intrinsic nature or because of popular objections or misconceptions; and always practically so far forth as to show the important moral bearings of these themes as revelations of God to man. It has been, however, my purpose to explain all the difficult, doubtful, or controversial passages. ... from the Preface.

Life and Death of Mr. Badman
Author: John Bunyan
Publisher: Good Press
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 199
Book Description
In John Bunyan's 'Life and Death of Mr. Badman', the author presents a detailed account of the life of a morally corrupt man, exploring the consequences of his actions and choices. Written in a straightforward and didactic style, the book serves as a moral allegory, highlighting the dangers of leading a sinful life and the importance of ethical behavior. Bunyan's narrative is steeped in Christian morality, reflecting the religious landscape of 17th-century England. Through vivid descriptions and compelling storytelling, Bunyan creates a powerful commentary on the nature of good and evil. This book can be seen as a cautionary tale, urging readers to reflect on their own actions and the impact they have on others. Through Mr. Badman's story, Bunyan prompts readers to consider the consequences of their choices and strive for a virtuous life. John Bunyan, a Puritan preacher and writer, drew inspiration from his own religious beliefs and experiences to write 'Life and Death of Mr. Badman'. His work exemplifies the moralistic literature of the period, seeking to educate and enlighten readers on the perils of vice. Bunyan's vivid imagination and fervent religious convictions shine through in this compelling narrative, making it a timeless classic that continues to resonate with readers today. I recommend 'Life and Death of Mr. Badman' to those interested in exploring moralistic literature, religious allegory, or historical perspectives on ethics and morality.
