Miracle on Boswell Road by John M. Eades Pdf

Miracle Boswell Road tells 20 stories -- all true -- of ordinary people who displayed their love for God in unexpected ways. Take for instance, the rich widow who pretends to be a bag lady; the death-row inmate who offers new life to a mother and her crippled son, the converted madam of a New Orleans brothel who uses her wealth to help the destitute. And the Miracle on Boswell Road, the story of a young girl astonishingly rescued from the brink of death. Through them all, readers will see that God is miraculous, He is loving, and He is available to us all -- if only we seek Him.

Boswell by Stanley Elkin Pdf

Elkin’s striking debut: The story of one man’s comic attempts at immortality James Boswell is a professional strongman and a wrestler. He is also a loveable leech who amasses friends of wealth and influence as his own insurance policy against death, an obsession that leads him from coast to coast, crashing parties and mentioning any celebrity whose name will grant him an ounce of social currency. But when those around him begin dying, Boswell is forced to confront his own mortality and determine once and for all how to find permanence in an ephemeral world. Poignant and laugh-out-loud funny, Boswell is Elkin’s engaging novel of one man’s desperate attempts to outmaneuver death, and an acerbic take on the follies of the American Dream. This ebook features rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author’s estate and from the Stanley Elkin archives at Washington University in St. Louis.

The Golden Thread by Ewan Clayton Pdf

From the simple representative shapes used to record transactions of goods and services in ancient Mesopotamia, to the sophisticated typographical resources available to the twenty–first–century users of desktop computers, the story of writing is the story of human civilization itself. Calligraphy expert Ewan Clayton traces the history of an invention which—ever since our ancestors made the transition from a nomadic to an agrarian way of life in the eighth century BC—has been the method of codification and dissemination of ideas in every field of human endeavour, and a motor of cultural, scientific and political progress. He explores the social and cultural impact of, among other stages, the invention of the alphabet; the replacement of the papyrus scroll with the codex in the late Roman period; the perfecting of printing using moveable type in the fifteenth century and the ensuing spread of literacy; the industrialization of printing during the Industrial Revolution; the impact of artistic Modernism on the written word in the early twentieth century—and of the digital switchover at the century's close. The Golden Thread also raises issues of urgent interest for a society living in an era of unprecedented change to the tools and technologies of written communication. Chief among these is the fundamental question: "What does it mean to be literate in the early twenty–first century?" The book belongs on the bookshelves of anyone who is inquisitive not just about the centrality of writing in the history of humanity, but also about its future; it is sure to appeal to lovers of language, books and cultural history.

Jesus' Spiritual Laws by Isabel Anders Pdf

Seven steps to spiritual life ... ten principles for business success ... twelve ways to fulfill your destiny. We see the promises and principles everywhere we turn—and our hearts leap. Is there really a list of foolproof actions or attitudes—or a combination of the above—that can turn our life around, bring us joy and fulfillment and personal acclaim ... fill up the empty places inside us and guarantee better relationships with the people around us? When Jesus taught these eight spiritual laws in his Sermon on the Mount in Matthew chapter 5, he was giving timeless descriptions of the good, moral, and ethical life, which, when sincerely practiced, will bring incalculable joy. Each of these laws can be accessible to us in our spiritual lives as naturally as breathing comes to our physical lives. These laws or blessings are actually a series of exclamations—or "Congratulations!"—appropriate for those who are already existing in a state of happiness. Love—fulfillment—is all around us already. All that is required is that we learn how to enter in to the joy and peace that is God’s kingdom among us here and now.

The Hidden Language of Baseball by Paul Dickson Pdf

Baseball is set apart from other sports by many things, but few are more distinctive than the intricate systems of coded language that govern action on the field and give baseball its unique appeal. During a nine?inning game, more than one thousand silent instructions are given—from catcher to pitcher, coach to batter, fielder to fielder, umpire to umpire—and without this speechless communication the game would simply not be the same. Baseball historian Paul Dickson examines the rich legacy of baseball’s hidden language, offering fans everywhere a smorgasbord of history and anecdote. Baseball’s tradition of signing grew out of the signal flags used by ships and hand signals used by soldiers during battle and were first used in games during the Civil War. The Hartford Dark Blues appear to be the first team to steal signs, introducing a larcenous obsession that, as Dickson delightfully chronicles, has given the game some of its most historic—and outlandish—moments. In this revised and expanded edition through the 2018 season, Dickson discusses recent developments and incidents, including the illegal use of new technology to swipe signs. A roster of baseball’s greatest names and games, past and present, echoes throughout, making The Hidden Language of Baseball a unique window on the history of our national pastime.

Stigmata by Colin Falconer Pdf

1205 AD: As a Knight of the Realm, Philip of Vercy has fought the infidel in the Holy Land. Now, after 12 months of savage, bloody warfare, he is finally coming home to peace, and to his beloved wife. But France offers neither comfort nor peace. His wife has died in childbirth and his young son is gravely ill. When Philip hears rumors of a healer in the Languedoc, a young woman blessed by God and marked with Christ's Stigmata, he rides out on a desperate quest to save his child. His journey takes him into a vision of hell that outstrips even what he saw in Outremer. Disgusted by the senseless slaughter, Philip gradually becomes embroiled in the Cathar cause. And then he finds his miracle, Fabrisse Berenger—beautiful, mysterious, and bewildered by her terrible wounds. Together, the pair must flee persecution under cover of darkness—but they cannot hold off the Pope's soldiers forever. Their destiny will be decided at Montaillet, the site of one of the most terrible massacres in history, where Fabrisse and Philip must make choices not just to save their lives, but their souls.
