Book Description
A second chance at love. Lainey Wise is coming home. Lainey hasn’t been back to her hometown of Mountain Valley since her mother’s death, and never had any desire to return. But now she’s working on a film for Mason Scott’s new production company and finds herself renting a cabin on location in order to finish the script. The first person she sees on arrival is her high school boyfriend, Logan Matthews. She knew coming home meant she’d have to reckon with her past, she just didn’t realize she’d have to do it so quickly. Logan Matthews has never forgotten his one true love. When Lainey walks into his furniture shop one January night in the midst of a winter storm, Logan can’t believe his eyes. Years ago, he’d given up dreaming she’d ever come back to him, and here she was. His initial disappointment at learning she’d returned for work and not him is easily quelled by the fact he’s got a month to win her back. Can they find a second chance at love? When Lainey and Logan get together, it’s like the years between them have vanished…until they start to talk. And when Logan brings over an expected bundle of her late mother’s journals, the long-buried secrets of Lainey’s past come bubbling to the surface.

Book Description
""WomanPrayer, WomanSong is a groundbreaking contribution to the church of our day. While drawing on scripture and affirming God's self-revelation in Jesus Christ, this exciting book addresses the urgent need for ritual which incorporates women's experience. Feminine biblical images of God are recovered; feminine pronouns for God are supplied; valiant women are remembered; the church year is reinterpreted to highlight women's experience; and oppression and violence against women in scripture and society are exposed. I have been searching for alternatives to hierarchical, coercive, male images of God which are at the same time faithful to the Christian revelation. I have found a rich resource here "" --Ruth Duck, Pastor, Professor of Worship, Garrett -Evangelical Theological Seminary ""With Miriam Therese Winter's WomanPrayer, WomanSong, the feminist movement in the Christian community goes beyond the critique of patriarchal bias in religion and begins a new phase. Through a new religious encounter with the Mother-spirit of God, a new religious culture begins to develop that also renews the liberating grace and power of biblical faith. For the first time the church prays and sings the ancient story of creation and redemption through women's creative imagination."" --Rosemary Ruether, author of Women-Church ""By drawing on tradition to challenge tradition, this book models how a feminist hermeneutic can revitalize tradition. The preface, liturgies, and songs reveal a sophisticated theological mind blessed with the gift of poetic expression."" --Thomas Troeger, Professor of Preaching and Parish Ministry and Vice President and Dean of Academic Affairs, Iliff School of Theology Miriam Therese Winter, a Medical Mission Sister, is professor of liturgy, worship, spirituality, and feminist studies and director of the Women's Leadership Institute at Hartford Seminary in Connecticut. She is author of award-winning books and songs, which include WomanWisdom, WomanWitness, and WomanWord, a trilogy of books on all the women of the Bible, and the recording Joy Is Like the Rain.

In the Spirit of Jesus
Author: Miriam Therese Winter

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 126
Book Description
What can one say about Jesus that would add new insight to a Christian’s understanding of the man from Galilee? Consider this. The one we call upon to be a harbinger of peace and an example of justice and mercy is often the reason why people today continue to divide and exclude. Instead of seeing Jesus as a unifying force for all Christians everywhere, bigotry and bias expressed in multi-faceted ways in the name of Jesus stifle the transformative power inherent within our faith traditions. We have rejected, condemned, killed one another based on our interpretations of the one we call Prince of Peace. We need a new narrative, one that acknowledges there is more to the story of Jesus of Nazareth, his life and his mission, than what we profess and proclaim. Without a more inclusive and compassionate understanding of the one we know as Jesus, not only churches, but our beloved planet, with all of its inhabitants and nature’s graced diversity, cannot – will not – survive. Jesus is an example of how we humans can continue to be a beneficial link in the evolutionary chain. His living spirit – a holy Spirit – is calling to us all.

Book Description
Coeur dAlene is a city on the north end of Coeur dAlene Lake, a hundred miles from the Canadian border. In 1930, prohibition was in force, and the mines to the east and logging camps to the south were filled with men who were paid on Saturday night and where a fellow was served at a bar if he was tall enough to order across it. Grag Bergman, a widower and father of two, was a banker in Coeur dAlene. Gary Madison brought whiskey across the border from Canada, owned a few clubs, supplied red-light establishments, the police, doctors, lawyers, bankers, and private citizens. This is a story of that special time of probation, of Depression, a time between world wars in that special part of the north Idaho, where homesteads were still new and civilization as we know it today was only a dream.

Tim Richmond
Author: David Poole
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1613210906
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 165
Book Description
Tim Richmond was, fellow NASCAR driver Kyle Petty said, "a stranger in time." In one regard, the flashy, flamboyant driver from Ashland, Ohio, was years ahead of the trends in a sport that would soon enjoy explosive growth in popularity. Women who were NASCAR fans loved him¬¬¬—and so did their husbands and boyfriends. Richmond believed he could use his stardom in racing as a springboard to a second career as an actor, and he had the Hollywood good looks to make that a realistic dream. At the same time, Richmond was also a throwback. He pushed his race cars hard, too hard at times, driving every lap like he was hauling moonshine through the mountains of the Carolinas with a revenuer on his rear bumper. Those who saw him drive still compare him to veterans like Curtis Turner and Joe Weatherly, who ran as hard off the track as they did off of it. In the early 1980s, however, Richmond stood out. He was not from the South; he had not grown up slinging a stock car through the dirt on red-clay ovals. He had, in fact, never raced at all until he was twenty-one. And just ten years later, after making a splash in the Indianapolis 500 as a rookie, he was emerging as one of the brightest stars and greatest talents in NASCAR's Winston Cup Series. Richmond's star was bright, but its light went out too soon. As he neared stock car racing's zenith, Richmond's life took a tragic turn. A man who thrived on the affection he felt from those who enjoyed watching him compete spent his final months almost completely shut off from that world. Tim Richmond: The Fast Life and Remarkable Times of NASCAR's Top Gun tells the memorable story of a born racer and how he raced headlong through life with the throttle wide open and his wheels burning rubber at almost every turn.

Girls Like Us
Author: Sheila Weller
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1416564772
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 690
Book Description
A groundbreaking and irresistible biography of three of America’s most important musical artists—Carole King, Joni Mitchell, and Carly Simon—charts their lives as women at a magical moment in time. Carole King, Joni Mitchell, and Carly Simon remain among the most enduring and important women in popular music. Each woman is distinct. Carole King is the product of outer-borough, middle-class New York City; Joni Mitchell is a granddaughter of Canadian farmers; and Carly Simon is a child of the Manhattan intellectual upper crust. They collectively represent, in their lives and their songs, a great swath of American girls who came of age in the late 1960s. Their stories trace the arc of the now mythic sixties generation—female version—but in a bracingly specific and deeply recalled way, far from cliché. The history of the women of that generation has never been written—until now, through their resonant lives and emblematic songs. Filled with the voices of many dozens of these women's intimates, who are speaking in these pages for the first time, this alternating biography reads like a novel—except it’s all true, and the heroines are famous and beloved. Sheila Weller captures the character of each woman and gives a balanced portrayal enriched by a wealth of new information. Girls Like Us is an epic treatment of midcentury women who dared to break tradition and become what none had been before them—confessors in song, rock superstars, and adventurers of heart and soul.
