The Broken Chariot
Author: Alan Sillitoe
Publisher: Open Road Media
ISBN: 1504034481
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 271
Book Description
This postwar British coming-of-age novel questions the foundations of society and self. Class and identity are lifelong struggles for Herbert Thurgarton-Strang, who was born in India but sent away at age seven to a boarding school in England. As an adolescent, Herbert loathes British weather and boxing—despite his penchant for camping and his brutality in the ring—and his only solace is imagining a violent revenge on his parents for “abandoning” him. As Herbert grows into an angry teen and World War II breaks out, he channels his rage into a passion for the Army Cadet Force. Then a book about escaped prisoners of war falls into his lap, and Herbert begins to daydream about running away. At the age of seventeen, the rebellious young man finally breaks free from school and heads straight into the industrial slums of Nottingham. There, Herbert discards his upper-class accent and reinvents himself as “Bert Gedling”—a working-class lathe man, a drinker, a womanizer, and eventually a soldier. During his tour of duty, Bert continues to adapt his character to the world around him, and when he returns to England he transforms once again—but this time the fictions he constructs will follow the truth of his heart. From the bestselling author of The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Runner, The Broken Chariot explores work, class, life, and love in postwar England.

Prepare to Overcome
Author: Kristos Parakletos

ISBN: 1098044886
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 198
Book Description
Prepare to Overcome: A Believer's Response to God's Call to Intimacy. The signs of the times, the end of the age, the last days, are words and phrases we are hearing more and more. Indeed, the signs are surrounding us and for those with eyes to see, the end of the age is surely drawing near. But what does that mean, exactly, in a practical, day-to-day response for a child of God? Is it just enough to know our place in history? Jesus admonished the Pharisees and Sadducees for their inability to discern the signs of the times; believers are exhorted to watch and be sober, but then what? Are there things to do in preparation?It is a great privilege as a believer to be chosen by God to live in so significant a time in history. The references to the last days in the Bible build to an ever-increasing crescendo until reaching its full culmination in the proclamations of Revelation to overcome.To overcome is to be victorious, undefeated, to prevail; by default, to not be overcome. As students of Bible prophecy regarding the last days in which we live, it becomes apparent that the Overcomers are an elite company defined by God as His choice ones, superior in their humility, and therefore victorious in their day. They are likened to the Obedient, the Royal Priesthood, the bride, the messenger of the Lord, and His Zadok priest.Contrary to the assumption of many, not all qualify; there are conditions that must be met. In the end, the only opinion that will matter on the great and terrible day of the Lord is His; all people would do well to know what it is. Indeed, there is much to prepare to overcome.
