Navigating the events of everyday life, we who have chosen the Christian path or are seeking faith may sometimes feel a sense of disillusionment with the relevance of spirituality in today’s world. Even when faced with great disappointment or loss, it may be hard to remember Christ’s teachings when we need them most. As Joy Barker and Bernie Potvin show us, however, the wisdom of scripture underlies all our experiences — every joy, sorrow, failure, and choice. Brimming with personal insight, Three-Word Wisdom is a love-invested collection of twenty-eight stories that encompass the authors’ lives, from Joy’s heartfelt reflections and the birth of her beloved son with Down syndrome, to Bernie’s thought-provoking experiences as a father and teacher. Each story is coupled with an inspirational quote from the ages of literature and scripture that is aimed at encouraging reflection and unlocking emotion, guiding us towards a renewed sense of faith. Whether you are a new or longstanding believer, a parent or teacher, Three-Word Wisdom provides an intimate and approachable perspective from which to find inspiration and fulfillment in your daily relationships with others, yourself, the world, and God.

If You Can Walk, You Can Dance by Marion Molteno Pdf
Jennie de Villiers, an idealistic and politically engaged student, suddenly has to flee her native South Africa with a boyfriend whom she no longer loves—only to be stranded as an exile in neighbouring Swaziland. Fending for herself in a new culture, she discovers new ways of living and a kind of music that moves her deeply. As the story moves between Africa and 1970s London, the music of different cultures is woven through the narrative. Jennie works, studies, learns music and tries to bring these various strands together to create a fulfilling and meaningful life, as well as discover her way forward—personally and professionally. Lyrically written, extremely engrossing and deeply moving, If you can walk you can dance exemplifies the thought—‘the personal is political’. Its depiction of a young woman’s life as she travels across frontiers and cultures, reaffirms the healing power of music and the redemptive nature of human connections.

The Shepherd's Song by Betsy Duffey,Laurie Myers Pdf
Follow the incredible journey of one piece of paper—a copy of Psalm 23—as it travels around the world, linking lives and hearts with its simple but beautiful message. The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures… Shortly before a tragic car accident, Kate McConnell wrote down the powerful words of Psalm 23 on a piece of paper for her wayward son. Just before she loses consciousness, Kate wonders if she’s done enough with her life and prays,“Please, let my life count.” Unbeknownst to Kate, her handwritten copy of Psalm 23 soon begins a remarkable journey around the world. From a lonely dry cleaning employee to a soldier wounded in Iraq, to a young Kurdish girl fleeing her country, to a Kenyan runner in the Rome Invitational Marathon, this humble message forever changes the lives of twelve very different people. Eventually, Kate’s paper makes it back to its starting place, and she discovers the unexpected ways that God changes lives, even through the smallest gestures. With beautiful prose evocative of master storyteller Andy Andrews’s The Butterfly Effect, this “intriguing…[and] inspiring read” (RT Book Reviews) will touch your heart and remind you of the ways God works through us to reach beyond what we can imagine.
The daughter of a king and a fairy, the Princess Niamh is glorious fair - perhaps overly so. Her incredible beauty proves a curse as no man can withstand even a moment in her presence without running mad.
Thomas Hanner Lyle, like so many other southerners, finds himself embroiled in a war that will change his life forever. As a Confederate soldier, he fights in battle while trying to retain his humanity and not damn his soul. During in-between times, he tries to find the beauty in life beneath the shade of cottonwoods by breezy riverbeds. An incident in battle ushers Thomas from the rank of private to sergeant, but the glory is short-lived as he is soon wounded. He gets help from a woman who reminds him so much of his wife, Jenny. In and out of consciousness, he flashbacks to his safe, happy life in Tennessee and makes it his mission to return home to his beloved—but will war let him go so easily?

It is a tale of love, daring-do, spies and danger set in Japan, Germany, Turkey, the USA, Canada and the UK, but mostly in the Soviet Union of the Seventies.Two girls, born thousands of miles apart in Kazakhstan and Japan just after World War II, meet and are like peas in a pod. They also get on like sisters and keep n touch for the rest of their lives.However, one wants to help her battle-scarred country and the other wants to leave hers for the West. They dream up a daring, dangerous plan to achieve both goals, which Andropov, the chief of the Soviet KGB, is told about. He dubs it Operation Youriko and it is set in motion, but does it have even the remotest chance of success?Andropov’s Cuckoo is based on a ‘true story’ related to the author by one of the protagonists.The story starts with William, an octogenarian widower, who misses his wife terribly, in a sanctuary in southern Spain.

The wife is a government agent who stirs the workers in her area to produce more, and we meet her daughter.Through the Japanese Communist Party visits to the area, the Russian and the Japanese families meet and get on. The girls especially. In fact, they actually look alike too.The girls hatch a plan to switch lives, though the Japanese girl sees no future in the USSR. She wants to go to America.The switch is made, and The Russian girl, now known as Youriko takes a job in the Japanese Foreign Office. Then she moves to the Diplomatic Corps, all the while spying for her boss Andropov, the head of the KGB.She falls from grace when she becomes disillusioned with her work and tries to escape to see her double, who is now in Canada. She is captured and held in the dreaded Lubyanka prison, before she is given a show trial and sent to a camp.When she gets out, Andropov takes pity on her and sets her up as the boss of a 'honey trap' spy ring. While doing this job, she falls in love with a British exchange student, and spends the rest of the book fleeing the country on horseback through the Caucasus into Turkey, where she hands herself over to the British Embassy.After a thorough debriefing, she is allowed to remain in the UK, so she goes to surprise the love of her life during a class.Youriko and William live a long life together in Andalusia, until she dies.The last chapter of the book sees him dying and calling his wife's name as she stands before him welcoming him back into her arms.The doctor is the one who finds the manuscript and gets it published.
