Only The Moon Understands The Beauty Of Love by Thomas Wilson Pratt Slatin Pdf

Only the Moon Understands the Beauty of Love, signifies the next chapter in the creative nonfiction writer's life. Though Slatin enjoyed a rewarding career as an Emergency Medical Technician and Firefighter spanning some two decades, writing has permeated every aspect of Slatin's life since writing on her parents' New York City apartment walls as a child. Slatin says, when it became apparent that she was unlikely to stop, her parents set up a desk and chair with a pile of notebooks and pens. So, how do you rekindle creative passions and pursue them as your second career? For Slatin, rebranding herself as a writer has been a significant challenge but is equally rewarding. It was reaching her retirement goal from the fire service and a failed long-term relationship that catalyzed Slatin's conversion to writing and photography full-time. Today, you'll find the Vermont-based writer scribbling ideas, song lyrics, snippets of news, or conversations on paper that she later incorporates in her writing – a change of pace from her former life. For many amateur writers, success is incredibly challenging and habitual – it requires disciplines, portfolios, exposure, and contributions. Early on, Slatin turned to the online world, establishing her author platform and building a readership. Her journalistic-style entries include first-hand personal accounts, layered with assiduous hindsight narration. Slatin describes her writing style as reminiscent of the 1988 television show, The Wonder Years. For example, she devotes a passage to her favorite tree as an 8-year-old in her parent's backyard in Stamford, New York, titled, A Little Ghost For The Offering. The new book amalgamates Slatin's most inspired pieces, a tangible product decades in the making. In essence, the book documents her life, careers, and relationships with the potential for expansion in future releases. Though she admits many aspects of her life are irreconcilable, nevertheless, in her work, Slatin deconstructs, then bridges the two spheres. In life, as in her writing, Slatin recognizes that everything is connected in some way, even if connections are unseen or not fully understood. She's also grateful to those who invigorated her writing passion. Slatin received mentorship and encouragement from her youth by some illustrious literary names, including American journalist Charles Kuralt, and poet and writer Allen Ginsberg. She describes Ginsberg's mentorship included sharing his writing process and practices that Slatin still uses today. Slatin dedicates the entire memoir to her wife and agent, Amelia Desertsong. It's clear that Amelia is at the center of all her work as muse, confidant, and greatest supporter. Desertsong's admiration, love, and respect are also clearly apparent in her description of Thomas and her work, having written the foreword to the new book – challenging the myth that writers assume solitary existences in success. When asked about the most challenging aspect of self-publishing, Slatin says it takes an enormous amount of discipline, but the biggest challenge is wrestling with extremely high standards. She seeks the absolute pinnacle of quality as a writer, refusing to publish anything short of such a standard. As a self-publishing author with Barnes and Noble, Slatin also takes on the roles of book cover designer and marketer, with Amelia serving as editor. Her experience in photography and web design supports her endeavors in these roles. Slatin's photography work help to shape her writing and thrives through the thousands of images living on her website, TomSlatin.com. In 2022, Slatin published her photography book, Reckless and Wild, a follow up to her 2019 release Entropy. Like its predecessor, it immortalizes abandoned historic places now lost forever to fire, decay, or intentional demolition

Let Beauty Speak by Jimmy Mitchell Pdf

"From the time of the great Greek philosophers, the good, true, and beautiful were seen as inseparable. Beauty is always good and true. It can be the still, small voice crying in the wilderness, calling us to higher things. Jimmy Mitchell communicates this with an eloquence and elegance which is itself a thing of beauty." — Joseph Pearce, Biographer of Shakespeare, Solzhenitsyn, Tolkien, and Chesterton In an era marked by rampant secularism and endless noise, the ten principles of Let Beauty Speak empower Christians to evangelize the world by bringing beauty to the forefront of their lives and reminding the world what it means to be human. This book is particularly timely given the social unrest, political upheaval, and cultural strife of our times. The world's problems cannot be solved by worldly solutions. Politics, medicine, technology, and other secular fields have their place in society, but the deepest existential questions of the human heart can only be answered by the beauty of holiness found in the lives of the saints. From cave diving in Austria to summer camps in New Zealand, Let Beauty Speak is full of personal stories and rich theology that will inspire you to become a great saint as you apply the book's principles to your own life. Each chapter is organized into beautiful, bite-size sections that make it easy for non-academics to enjoy. Each chapter also concludes with practical tips and recommendations that give you an opportunity to further personalize the principles and transform your day-to-day life. From embracing childlike wonder to integrating prayer, work, and leisure into your everyday life, this is your how-to guide for evangelizing others by first living your humanity well. If not you, then who? If not now, then when? Turn these principles into a way of life, and you'll join the long line of saints whose holiness was the remedy for the isolation, confusion, and meaninglessness of their times.

The Beauty of Love by Dorothy Wiley Pdf

Brought together after tragedy, Edward Wyllie and Dora Williams find the true beauty of love in this poignant and thrilling historical romance set in 1800 Boston and New Hampshire. In an unlikely place for new beginnings, a cemetery, Edward and Dora meet for the first time. But in that forlorn place, the beauty of love blossoms. Edward is still struggling with guilt over the death of his family more than a year ago-a guilt so great he's unable to even look at his childrens' gravestones. As their friendship grows, Dora forces Edward to confront the truth-their deaths were not his fault. And Edward gives Dora, a young Boston widow, a chance to seize love and learn the meaning of passion.But first, they must put their whirlwind courtship on hold as Edward and Dora become embroiled in a shocking family crisis. Edward's brother Captain Sam Wyllie and his wife Catherine, a friend of Dora's since childhood, have come from their home in Kentucky to Boston to confront Catherine's wealthy father Remington Forbes. When Sam and Catherine arrive, both of Catherine's upper-crust parents reject her rugged frontier husband Sam and, heartlessly, their beautiful infant grandson Rory. A powerful businessman, obsessed with wealth, Forbes is desperate to gain control of Sam's property, Wyllie Mountain in New Hampshire. The mountain's abundant and newly discovered gold offers Forbes a chance to escape his insurmountable financial debt. Forbes will stop at nothing and is willing to have Sam murdered to get the gold. By killing Sam, he'll also regain control of the fortune his daughter inherited from her grandfather. Dora resolves to try to help Catherine. She challenges Mr. and Mrs. Forbes to measure themselves not by their wealth and social status, but by how much love they are willing to give others. As hostilities mount, Edward is determined to keep Sam safe from Forbes and his unscrupulous men. But danger awaits on Wyllie Mountain and events quickly spin out of Edward's control. What do you do when the enemy is a family member who will do anything to get what he wants?This extraordinary historical romance, teeming with intrigue and cliff-edge tension, is the story of a love that was meant to be. And the book's timeless messages of family and loyalty are both raw and honest. As in Wiley's other novels, the author's complex characters come alive and are joined by a memorable ensemble of friends and family. As Wiley skillfully unravels this compelling tale, she includes rich historical elements to create The Beauty of Love's vivid colonial world. But in a slight variation of style for this popular author, Wiley blends the feel of a modern mystery thriller with the romance of a moving love story to create a highly engaging page-turner.Inspired by history, Wiley's books may all be read independently, including her highly-acclaimed debut novel WILDERNESS TRAIL OF LOVE, the first in her American Wilderness Series. The novels of this Readers' Favorite Gold Medal winning author are enjoyed worldwide by readers of historical romance, westerns, and classic American adventures.

Unleash the Beauty and Power of Love by H. C. Villanueva Pdf

Chapter 1: To cross the great unknown to harvest love is a challenge we all face. Chapter 8: You cannot close your heart, ignore the hurting world around you, and be content with life. Chapter 32: Love is real. The question is whether we are real enough to embrace love. Chapter 21: We hide inside shells of denials and go under shades of lies to avoid the piercing rays of truth. Chapter 6: To share love in the arena of life, you open the vault of your heart and disburse gems polished by God. Chapter 11: Regret robs your life. It is a thief you allow to rummage your soul and steals the precious life you have been given. Chapter 27: In the face of adversity, you are forced to define yourself. You are given a chance to show your essence. The depth of your heart exposed and the size of your faith revealed. Chapter 2: Love binds feelings on the solid rock of faith and ties passion within the sacrificial cord of promise. Chapter 34: Life grows cold when you do not put ideas in the furnace of adversity. When you tarry, dreams become wavering titillations of the soul, and aspirations turn into useless trinkets of the mind. Chapter 16: When we fail to follow God, we drift in a sea of confusion, struggle in the field of opportunity, and wither in the garden of life.

The Love That Split the World by Emily Henry Pdf

"A truly profound debut."—Buzzfeed "A time-bending suspense that's contemplative and fresh, evocative and gripping."—USA Today "Henry's story captivates, both as a romance and as an imaginative rethinking of time and space."—Publishers Weekly "This time-traveling, magical, and beautifully written love story definitely deserves a spot on your bookshelf."—Bustle Emily Henry's stunning debut novel is Friday Night Lights meets The Time Traveler's Wife and perfectly captures those bittersweet months after high school, when we dream not only of the future, but of all the roads and paths we've left untaken. Natalie's last summer in her small Kentucky hometown is off to a magical start . . . until she starts seeing the "wrong things." They're just momentary glimpses at first—her front door is red instead of its usual green, there’s a preschool where the garden store should be. But then her whole town disappears for hours, fading away into rolling hills and grazing buffalo, and Nat knows something isn't right. Then there are the visits from the kind but mysterious apparition she calls "Grandmother," who tells her, "You have three months to save him." The next night, under the stadium lights of the high school football field, she meets a beautiful boy named Beau, and it's as if time just stops and nothing exists. Nothing, except Natalie and Beau.

life.love.beauty by Keegan Allen Pdf

Ingram and Publishers Weekly bestseller! "This book takes you on a photographic voyage through my life so far." -Keegan Allen Keegan Allen is currently known to fans of the ABC Family hit television series, Pretty Little Liars. He has also appeared in numerous independent films and made his New York Stage debut in the acclaimed MCC production of Small Engine Repair. Keegan was given his first camera at age nine, and began a lifelong study and pursuit of photography. life.love.beauty is a selection of photographs taken since his childhood. It's a photo journey through the life of an intensely creative soul whose expression finds various forms: in acting, in poems and stories, lyrics and music, but above all in photography. This book's content resonates in the commonality we all share on our own journeys while unveiling an inside look into a world that very few experience. Organized into three broad groups-life, love, and beauty-the book ranges over the public and private side of Keegan Allen and his world. A child of Hollywood, whose father was also an actor and his mother a painter, Keegan roams freely through that realm, photographing his fellow actors on set, behind the scenes; and recording the amazed, gleeful, sometimes weeping fans that flock to his television and career related events. Allen also has an eye for the anonymous and the unexpected: the woman gazing dreamily from the balcony of a run-down hotel; the rifle-toting dog walker who seems to have emerged from the 19th century; the performers and denizens of Venice Beach and also the streets of New York, some of them chasing the dream of fame, others having long-since abandoned it; the little boy amid in the crowd in an enormous airport; portraits of lovers kissing on subways, in parks, and on the streets. Traveling from California to New York to Paris and back, as well as through the American west, he finds beauty in both urban and rural places: from large-scale landscapes to glimpses of light transforming what it touches. Keegan's poems, stories, captions and musings, song lyrics, and journal pages complement the photographs on this journey. He provides an account of growing up just off the Sunset Strip, coming into his own as an actor/artist, dealing with public recognition while maintaining a very private life, falling in and out of love, and acknowledging the influence of his family, friends, fans, and loved ones. life.love.beauty is an unusually intimate and revealing book: a delight for anyone who values photography, and a gift for the many fans who already follow Keegan's career. Keegan's real passion comes through in both his photographs and candid story telling in this unique photo-journal.

The Beauty of Love by Jorge Posada,Laura Posada Pdf

JORGE and LAURA POSADA were accustomed to being on top of the world. After a romantic courtship, the lives of these newlyweds were filled with unimaginable success and joy. But all of that changed when their first-born son was diagnosed with craniosynostosis, a birth defect that causes an abnormally shaped skull. Their priorities swiftly changed, as Jorge and Laura navigated their way through the challenges of their son’s diagnosis and eventual treatment, which has included eight major surgeries. Laura stayed home with her son, while Jorge suffered in silence as he tried to stay strong under the pressure to perform as a Yankees baseball player. Amid their fear, confusion, and anxiety as young parents, they decided to keep their son’s sickness a secret to protect him from a media frenzy, but in time they realized it was this very celebrity status that would allow them to make a difference—not only for patients with craniosynostosis but for people suffering from any type of illness. They decided to open the Jorge Posada Foundation to help kids with the same condition, a decision that gave new meaning to their lives. Before being a celebrity athlete or a lawyer, Jorge and Laura are a father and a mother, a husband and a wife—and the fortitude and foundations of their family values have helped them face even the worst of days. The Beauty of Love is more than a memoir about dealing with childhood illness—it is a heartfelt and uplifting illustration of how a couple can endure stress and strife and come out stronger on the other side.

On Beauty by Zadie Smith Pdf
