The Little Angel and the Three Wisdoms
Author: Catherine Farrar
Publisher: Strategic Book Publishing
ISBN: 1618973606
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 67
Book Description
The story The Little Angel and the Three Wisdoms begins in heaven and travels to earth, ending up back in heaven. Follow the adventures of a nervous young trainee angel, conscientious but fallible, as he travels to earth to shadow Three Wisdoms (the three dimensions of the girl Sophia). But before he can get back to heaven, he misplaces his trumpet. Everything starts with a recapitulation of the creation of the universe by a very bored God. You see, God has got nothing better to do because He has seen it all. God loves music, especially Bach and Mozart's piano concerto slow movements. Meanwhile, the little angel, still scared and a bit fumbling, is tussling with the love affairs of three willful and flighty girls. The angel gets back his trumpet and God sends his peace messages to humankind by email (with a bit of help from his nerds). In the end, God is quite pleased with his creation and his erring creatures as they are led astray by their dragons and their free will, saved by His forgiving love and the amazing grace of music. Catherine Farrar was born and raised in Derry and Donegal, Ireland, "which will forever affect my outlook and language, not least my love of music and the music of words. For this and much else, I owe a great debt to my parents, Tom and Agnes Finnegan, to my brothers and sister who are still there, and to our wonderful three daughters, their husbands, and their children, who I hope will one day read and enjoy these stories."

Pages : 264
Book Description
Over the years, I have often wondered what my pets and livestock would write if they could. The stories that follow come from a host of animals with some stories from my viewpoint. I started writing stories to share with my friends. Then these friends asked that I consider getting them published so that other people could have some joy in their lives. Seeing as the Bible said laughter is like good medicine, I decided to compile some stories and write more. Some of the people who answer the e-mails are real people, and some of the answers from them are from me so that I can keep a story going or try to keep it clearer or funny. One last disclaimer: no farm animals were hurt writing these stories, but some chickens did lose feathers and had their serenity disturbed.

LESSONS FROM MY COACH...COUCH
Author: Farley Moffat
Publisher: Balboa Press
ISBN:
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 131
Book Description
Discover new ways of understanding dogs and people, through the eyes of this wise old dog. Farley started sharing his thoughts about Herself (which is what he calls Delphine du Toit), their life together and his understanding of her professional work and language as a life coach, on his own Facebook page, about 10 years ago. He built up quite a following and with the encouragement of his fans he decided what he had to say needs a broader audience, and persuaded Delphine to start this project with him. Feedback from his readers of the draft of this book says that Farley’s style is Reflective and observant, Conversational and Intimate, Humorous and Witty, Honest and Raw, Story-driven relevantly anecdotal, Descriptive and Sensory. It is an easy and enjoyable read although at times you might find yourself responding quite emotionally. If you’ve ever wondered about the meaning of phrases like ‘living in the moment’, ‘I’m there for you’, ‘I’m holding space for you’ Farley will give you a whole new way of working it all out. He also explores important topics like happiness and fear, courage and trust. Farley doesn’t want to hear that you’ve cancelled dentist appointments or something because you had to finish trying to grasp some abstract concept. He wants you to enjoy reading it and to see your own dog in a slightly different light perhaps.
