How to Find a Farm Wife by Daniel S. Smith Pdf

Divisive tribalism vs. love. Which will prevail? John Kramer is a fifth-generation Kansas farmer. While attending college, he asks Jill Rabinovich out on a date, and the two of them quickly fall in love. But their relationship faces several daunting challenges. He is a rural Republican, and she is a suburban Democrat. He is Catholic, and she is Jewish. He wants her to become his farm wife, but she wants to move to L.A. after completing her degree in theater, in order to jump start her acting career. (She also wants to become a stand-up comedian, and thanks to her, this novel is packed full of jokes.) Is their relationship doomed? Or will they somehow manage to clear these hurdles and achieve a happily-ever-after ending? This novel explores several difficult modern issues. How do we maintain peaceful relationships with loved ones who are on the opposite side of the political spectrum? How does a young woman balance her desire to find love and start a family with her dream of building a fulfilling career? How can two young lovers craft a marriage that will honor both of their disparate heritages and withstand the test of time? These issues are addressed with both dignity and humor in this romantic comedy.

Faith, Farming, and Family by Caitlin Henderson Pdf

"When Caitlin Henderson fell in love with a farmer, she learned the important skills of life through refinement in the ever-changing seasons as a mother and farmer's wife. Because Caitlin didn't grow up on a farm, there was a period of adjustment and struggle--intermixed with humorous mishaps--as she learned to navigate this different way of life. The Rural Way is filled with stories and the lessons God taught her along the way about His goodness, grace, love, and redemption. From the big lessons like facing your fears to the simpler ones like the impact of hospitality, adventures such as run-ins with cows, wayward tractors, and a squeaky farmhouse enliven each enthralling story. Woven through every chapter are the scriptures that our weary souls need to be refreshed and strengthened in truth. Caitlin shares how God used the challenges that arise on a farm to refine her, but that each season is one that any wife and mother like you can relate to--even if you're far removed from the rural way of life. Whether you are in the middle of a wheat field, or in the heart of the city, you can grab hold of these moments and lessons as you reflect on a simpler way of life"--

The New I Do by Susan Pease Gadoua,Vicki Larson Pdf

If half of all cars bought in America each year broke down, there would be a national uproar. But when people suggest that maybe every single marriage doesn't look like the next and isn't meant to last until death, there's nothing but a rash of proposed laws trying to force it to do just that. In The New I Do, therapist Susan Pease Gadoua and journalist Vicki Larson take a groundbreaking look at the modern shape of marriage to help readers open their minds to marrying more consciously and creatively. Offering actual models of less-traditional marriages, including everything from a parenting marriage (intended for the sake of raising and nurturing children) to a comfort or safety marriage (where people marry for financial security or companionship), the book covers unique options for couples interested in forging their own paths. With advice to help listeners decide what works for them, The New I Do acts as a guide to thinking outside the marital box and the framework for a new debate on marriage in the 21st century.

Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck Pdf

Of Mice and Men is a novella written by John Steinbeck and first ublished in 1937. It chronicles the experiences of George Milton and Lennie Small, two displaced migrant ranch workers, who move from place to place in California in search of new job opportunities during the Great Depression in the United States. Steinbeck based the novella on his own experiences working alongside migrant farm workers as a teenager in the 1910s (before the arrival of the Okies that he would describe in The Grapes of Wrath). The title is taken from Robert Burns' poem "To a Mouse", which reads: "The best laid schemes o' mice an' men / Gang aft agley". (The best laid schemes of mice and men / Often go awry.) While it is a book taught in many schools, Of Mice and Men has been a frequent target of censors for vulgarity, and what some consider offensive and racist language; consequently, it appears on the American Library Association's list of the Most Challenged Books of the 21st Century.
