Between the Mountain and the Sky
Author: Maggie Doyne
Publisher: Harper Horizon
ISBN: 0785240292
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 270
Book Description
Between the Mountain and the Sky shows us the goodness that is possible when a single person--regardless of age--takes action to help another and, in the process, changes the lives of hundreds. Maggie’s story begins in suburban New Jersey, in a comfortable middle-class family that supports her decision to travel the world during a gap year before starting college. During her travels, the trajectory of her life alters when she has a surprise encounter with a Nepali girl breaking rocks in a quarry. Maggie decides to invest her life savings of five thousand dollars to buy a piece of land and open a children’s home in Nepal. That home becomes Kopila Valley Children’s Home, and eventually, the nonprofit Maggie launches, the BlinkNow Foundation, also starts the Kopila Valley School, which provides tuition-free education for more than four hundred students. Maggie and BlinkNow’s work have been recognized around the world for their innovative, sustainable work. However, this book isn’t a how-to for fledging philanthropists or nonprofit founders--it’s a coming-of-age story about a young woman suspended between two worlds, as well as the love, loss, healing, and hope she experiences along the way. And Maggie’s inspiring, intimate tale shows readers an important truth: the power to change the world exists within all of us.

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 176
Book Description
Mountain of Hope takes you on an endearing journey alongside author Karen Dancey, through the ordinary and extraordinary circumstances she faces through the seasons of her life. Her story is a beautiful testimony to the transformational power of God in our lives. As a Midwestern pastor's daughter, Karen's hopes and dreams are not always in line with the plans God has for her. Following the suicide of her husband, this young mother of three reminds us that in order to be transformed by God, we must continually seek to know Him, commit to Him, and ultimately surrender to His authority in our lives. "Karen Dancey passes us the mustard seed God used to move her mountain. Now it's our turn!" Phyllis Wallace, host of Woman to Woman, talk radio, Lutheran Hour Ministries "Karen's story honestly relates the tragedy of her husband's death and its devastating effect upon her family, but powerfully bears testimony to God's amazing provision and comfort through His Word, Christian friends, counselors, family, and a new Christian husband. This story radiates hope through Jesus." Stephen J. Carter, past president of Concordia Publishing House "Through telling her story of a broken heart, Karen Dancey gives encouragement to all who struggle with loss. Its conclusion resonates with the biblical truth that the God of all hope brings strength and joy through the presence of Jesus Christ." Elise Arndt, author, conference speaker, and director of women's ministry in Troy, Michigan

Mountain Gloom and Mountain Glory
Author: Marjorie Hope Nicolson
Publisher: University of Washington Press
ISBN: 9780295975771
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 436
Book Description
To English poets and writers of the seventeenth century, as to their predecessors, mountains were ugly protuberances which disfigured nature and threatened the symmetry of earth; they were symbols God’s wrath. Yet, less than two centuries later the romantic poets sang in praise of mountain splendor, of glorious heights that stirred their souls to divine ecstasy. In this very readable and fascinating study, Marjorie Hope Nicolson considers the intellectual renaissance at the close of the seventeenth century that caused the shift from mountain gloom to mountain glory. She examines various writers from the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries and traces both the causes and the process of this drastic change in perception.
