Book Description
"Old Captain Noah is frustrated. He and his wife are at odds about what could and should be done as to enticing an entire menagerie into his ark for their own self preservation. Pairs of animals arrive and complications arise about signing them up and finding them proper quarters. Only the intercession of a dynamic blues singing angel spiced with written messages from the Lord helps to restore some semblance of sanity to the situation. Then discrimination among the animals takes place. Unicorns and Griffins prefer to become extinct rather than associate with the likes of rats, skunks and others. But after forty days and nights, their stormy voyage on the ark is ended -- and its passengers depart for a brave new world and new complications in accommodations on terra firma. "--Publisher.

Happily
Author: Sabrina Orah Mark
Publisher: Random House
ISBN: 0593242475
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
WINNER OF THE NATIONAL JEWISH BOOK AWARD • A beautifully written memoir-in-essays on fairy tales and their surprising relevance to modern life, from a Jewish woman raising Black children in the American South—based on her acclaimed Paris Review column “Happily” “One of the most inventive, phenomenally executed books I’ve read in decades.”—Kiese Laymon, author of Heavy FINALIST FOR THE SOUTHERN BOOK PRIZE The literary tradition of the fairy tale has long endured as the vehicle by which we interrogate the laws of reality. These fantastical stories, populated with wolves, kings, and wicked witches, have throughout history served as a template for understanding culture, society, and that muddy terrain we call our collective human psyche. In Happily, Sabrina Orah Mark reimagines the modern fairy tale, turning it inside out and searching it for the wisdom to better understand our contemporary moment in what Mark so incisively calls “this strange American weather.” Set against the backdrop of political upheaval, viral plague, social protest, and climate change, Mark locates the magic in the mundane and illuminates the surreality of life as we know it today. She grapples with a loss of innocence in “Sorry, Peter Pan, We’re Over You,” when her son decides he would rather dress up as Martin Luther King, Jr., than Peter Pan for Halloween. In “The Evil Stepmother,” Mark finds unlikely communion with wicked wives and examines the roots of their bad reputation. And in “Rapunzel, Draft One Thousand,” the hunt for a wigmaker in a time of unprecedented civil unrest forces Mark to finally confront her sister’s cancer diagnosis and the stories we tell ourselves to get by. Revelatory, whimsical, and utterly inspired, Happily is a testament to the singularity of Sabrina Orah Mark’s voice and the power of the fantastical to reveal essential truths about life, love, and the meaning of family.

More Than Survivors

Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
Dr. Richard Baggett heard disconsolate believers expressing despair and frustration about their failures when comparing themselves to Biblical characters. As the author continued to peruse the Scriptures, he discovered a startling truth: the heroes of the Bible were, in truth, ordinary people, mired in crises, who met the Living God and changed dramatically, becoming More Than Survivors! These saints who became legends were ordinary people, who had in-law problems, committed vile sins, had doubts, expressed frustration, and raged at the Lord at times, cheated their siblings, cursed the day that they were born, murdered Christians before becoming one, and met the Lord in prison! But when they encountered the risen Christ, they became extraordinary heroes of faith! Read their amazing stories in More Than Survivors!
