The Drama
Author: Soldier's Salvation/The Golden Box
Author: Koa De'AngeloPublisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 1532096992
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 215
Book Description
Soldiers' Salvation is the story of a year-long adventure that completely changed the lives of two young brothers. Set in the first century AD 29 to AD 30. It is a chronology of events, starting with their induction into the Imperial Roman army and continuing to some days after the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Golden Box, a story of a secret heirloom that has been handed down through the millennia of time from grandmother to granddaughter. Some of the chapters in these two books share instances from the four New Testament gospels of the Bible. What is imaginative in the narrative is largely detail of what has been left open in the biblical and historical accounts. Nothing has been included that did not seem to be a reasonable assumption. The second story touches on the unmistakable fact, not all that someone deems wonderous can be appreciated in the same way by others. The beautiful part is, God lets us as individuals, decide what is precious to us.

Where Flowers Bloom
Author: Victoria NeblikPublisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1479736678
Category : Gardening
Languages : en
Pages : 70
Book Description
Flowers are both perennial and transient; we get to enjoy a single bloom for only a short time, but trust that there will always be more in the future. Photography, by contrast, is the art and the science of capturing whatever is impermanent around us and transforming it in to something longer-lived, for our pleasure or, at least, our inspection. "Where Flowers Bloom" grew out of the catalogue for a temporary exhibition I produced, so is my own attempt to produce something more permanent from something fleeting. This book went through many incarnations before reaching its present form and, whilst working on it, I was reading a number of Zen Buddhist texts for another project, which partly explains some of the Buddhist and oriental influences on this book. I very much like the traditional Japanese cultural and artistic preoccupation with the natural world and with the passing seasons, so that was another influence. My hope is that this book will offer its readers a calming and uplifting experience, or at least a reminder of the pleasures of the natural world around us.

The ornate gates, the tumbling roses, the winding paths, and the sunlight winking through branches of delicate blossoms have long inspired poetry and romance. . . . Some are intimate and secret, with secluded corners and mysterious pools where dragonflies hover or fantastic creatures might even dwell.
