AMERICA COULD BE BEAUTIFUL
Author: Dr. George B. Bailey, Jr.
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1483669785
Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
In times like these, no American who truly love the United States of America cannot honestly say our nation is being lead in the wrong direction from the White House, the Senate, and the House of Representatives. And with the support of liberal media and progressive Americans, our core-values, Constitution, God, family, and nation are being devalued in thought, word, and deed. Thusly our nation has begun to embrace every idol worship that was forbidden by our Sovereign-Creator-God. Now observe what we use to lo be in the eyes of our Founding Fathers under the power of God, and four hundred later what we have gradually become a godless nation in every institution that was founded on biblical teaching. The present mirror that reflects our ugly disposition and marred image is not a picture that cannot be changed from “Ugly” to “Beautiful” just by making a “U-Turn” back to God who created us I His image, then said is good. America, we do not have to continue living as slaves to a corrupt, evil and doctorial leadership, for we have been blessed with so much goodness from God as a fee people to be threaten to act a fool in fear of the very people we elected to political office. It is far past a human solution that will correct our problem, so we are desperately need of God’s divine intervention, that is, if we are desirous to be beautiful again in our conduct that brings honor and glory unto God, family, and country.

Book Description
INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NPR Best Book of the Year • Time Best Book of the Year • Oprah Daily Best Memoir of the Year “A bittersweet study in both grief and joy.” —Time “A sparklingly beautiful memoir-in-vignettes” (Isaac Fitzgerald, New York Times bestselling author) that explores coming of age in your middle age—from the bestselling poet and author of Keep Moving. “Life, like a poem, is a series of choices.” In her memoir You Could Make This Place Beautiful, poet Maggie Smith explores the disintegration of her marriage and her renewed commitment to herself. The book begins with one woman’s personal heartbreak, but its circles widen into a reckoning with contemporary womanhood, traditional gender roles, and the power dynamics that persist even in many progressive homes. With the spirit of self-inquiry and empathy she’s known for, Smith interweaves snapshots of a life with meditations on secrets, anger, forgiveness, and narrative itself. The power of these pieces is cumulative: page after page, they build into a larger interrogation of family, work, and patriarchy. You Could Make This Place Beautiful, like the work of Deborah Levy, Rachel Cusk, and Gina Frangello, is an unflinching look at what it means to live and write our own lives. It is a story about a mother’s fierce and constant love for her children, and a woman’s love and regard for herself. Above all, this memoir is “extraordinary” (Ann Patchett) in the way that it reveals how, in the aftermath of loss, we can discover our power and make something new and beautiful.

How Beautiful the World Could Be
Author: Frederick Christian Bauerschmidt
Publisher: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing
ISBN: 1467463906
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
Meditations on ordinary life as part of a larger story “We human beings are creatures of time and space,” writes Frederick Bauerschmidt. “We have no choice but to find ourselves at a particular place in a particular moment.” Fortunately, as Christians, we worship a God who became embodied and lived among us—the timeless Word who became the Word in time. Thus, it is no contradiction for us to expect to find our stories in the larger story of God’s ongoing dealings with the world. This truth is nowhere more evident than in preaching, which, of necessity, speaks to particular occasions. Throughout these thirty-eight homilies, Bauerschmidt finds the truth of Scripture refracted through the lenses of current events from the past decade—including the coronavirus pandemic—as well as the seasons of the liturgical year and momentous individual occasions like baptisms, weddings, and funerals. His advice and examples will help preachers heed Paul’s urging to be on point and persuasive “in season and out of season.” All readers will be joyfully reminded of how beautiful the world is when seen in its larger context, illuminated by the light of eternity.
