As the Sparks Fly Upward by Gilbert Morris Pdf

A young man finds his calling as a doctor in Queen Elizabeth’s court in this Christian historical trilogy finale—a prequel to the House of Winslow series. Neither bold and rough like his brother, Adam, nor headstrong and spoiled like his sister, Adara, young Colin Winslow is a gentle soul with a special love for natural things. His interest in animals and healing brings him in contact with Meg Caradoc, a strange woman who lives in the woods, and teaches him the fine art of herbal medicine. At Oxford, an eccentric but brilliant professor, Dr. Phineas Teague, guides Colin toward a medical career. This formal training, combined with Meg’s herbal remedies, makes Colin an insightful and successful doctor—one with the approving eye of Queen Elizabeth. Colin’s skill quickly earns him many patients, some highly placed in the courts of both his queen and her sister, Mary Queen of Scots. Soon, this once shy young man finds himself amid court intrigue, acting covertly on the queen’s behalf. When Colin faces his most difficult case—curing the wounds his brave brother suffered in battle—he must confront his attraction to Adam’s wife, his unsteady faith in God, and the limits of his ability to heal.

AS THE SPARKS FLY UPWARD by Gloria Dank Pdf

Bernard Woodruff should have known better than to expect anything but disaster from a visit to his wife’s indolent but good-natured brother, Snooky. In a cabin in the Vermont woods, the irrepressible Snooky rhapsodizes about the simple pleasures of country living while preparing gourmet meals and falling in love with Sarah Tucker, a young woman whose family life is anything but simple. Bernard’s depression at being away from home only deepens after he meets Sarah’s assortment of relatives. There’s a wealthy widowed aunt with a much younger admirer, an eccentric nature-loving spinster, a young photographer, and a blustering hunter, none of whom Bernard finds at all to his liking. But when Bernard never likes anyone, as his wife, Maya, keeps pointing out in an attempt to save Snooky’s bruised feelings. Bernard is still grumbling when he stumbles on a corpse in the woods. It turns out to be the remains of the young man who had just become engaged to Sarah’s rich aunt, and everyone in the family falls under suspicion. Against his will, Bernard is drawn into the murder investigation. By the end, he and Snooky join forces to track down an elusive and unlikely killer.

Sparks Fly Upward by Katie Spivey Brewster Pdf

In Sparks Fly Upward, Katie Spivey Brewster captures life memories and experiences in an interesting variety of poetic forms. The free verse title poem, "Sparks Fly Upward," was inspired by the campfire at the wedding reception of her son, Andrew. "Sensory Seashore" recalls a young child crossing the bridge at the Intercoastal Waterway knowing the beach was just ahead. A summer salad bar prompted, "Pretty Apricots." "C R A B," an acrostic, was written on a lark at the table in Capt Billy's while waiting for her family to finish their crabs while "I P H O N E" came from looking around and thinking. C R A B Crustaceans Really messy All hands on deck Bring wipes. I P H O N E I put it down Pick it up Habitual Over and over Not Even knowing why A snowflake falling to the ground in "Where, oh where?" wonders about its destination while the limerick "A lady of Books" ask if "she can find any good reads to meet her needs?" Poetry friends taught Mrs. Brewster about Haiku and Cinquain, giving her ample reason to write about heliotrope, azure, her hammock, and walking. Sparks Fly Upward ends with "I Came From," one of the first forms Mrs. Brewster encountered in her poetic walk. With the template she provides, Mrs. Brewster invites you to write your own poem and join her in strolling the poetic pathway.

As Sparks Fly Upwards by Michael Carr Pdf

When on our path we experience suffering and pain, trials and temptations, and all the other worldly and spiritual tornadoes and calamities, how do we keep calm, carry on, and trust in God to keep us steady? And how do we walk in faith when we face doubts about unanswered prayers and delays in God’s will? In As Sparks Fly Upwards: Weathering the Storms of Life, author and pastor Michael Carr invites his fellow believers to have faith in the provision of God in necessity, in the peace of God in perplexity, in the praise of God in adversity, and in the purity of God amidst iniquity. Writing from the pain and suffering of nursing his sick wife for forty-seven years—a woman whose life was a miracle of longevity—he has gathered together his writings and sermons during those five decades where he dealt with and explained what weathering the storms of life really means for a Christian—handling the hard task of life joyfully and with praise to God. By walking in faith and being undergirded by omnipotence, we can prevail over circumstances that we think are too great, too deep, and too challenging—“for greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world.” Life in God should not be more than we can handle, but it should be all that we can handle and that is the right handle to grasp.

Erasmus by Nathan Ron Pdf

This book is a sequel to Nathan Ron's Erasmus and the “Other.” Should we consider Erasmus an involved or public intellectual alongside figures such as Machiavelli, Milton, Locke, Voltaire, and Montesquieu? Was Erasmus really an independent intellectual? In Ron's estimation, Erasmus did not fully live up to his professed principles of Christian peace. Despite the anti-war preaching so eminent in his writings, he made no stand against the warlike and expansionist foreign policies of specific European kings of his era, and even praised the glory won by Francis I on the battlefield of Marignano (1515). Furthermore, in the face of Henry VIII’s execution of his beloved Thomas More and John Fisher, and the atrocities committed by the Spanish against indigenous peoples in the New World, Erasmus preferred self-censorship to expressions of protest or criticism and did not step forward to reproach kings of their misdeeds or crimes.

As My Sparks Fly Upward & Other stories by Matthew St. Amand Pdf

Among the citizens of these stories you will find: The best man, secretly against his best buddy’s marriage, finds himself having to actually talk the panicking groom into going through with the ceremony. After Larry Dun’s name appears in the obituary section of the local newspaper, he goes to a bar to contemplate life as a ghost, and decide what second chances are about. Legendary rock ’n’ roller, Wolf Kearney, takes the stage and faces a tumultuous audience—a mirror reflection of his thirty years in the business—a crowd lost in the past?—finding himself more confined within the spotlight, than exalted by it. As a young man drives home one night following band practice, his car is nearly struck by something falling from a bridge overhead: an ordinary soda can-filled with ominous, though potentially profitable contents. Adam—living in Dublin, Ireland—one night sees a statue of Jesus Christ standing upon a pedestal inside a Plexiglas box. And attempts to rescue him. A rock ’n’ roll fan makes a pilgrimage to Bono’s estate in Killiney, County Dublin, where he reflects on art, fandom and hero worship.
