Listening to the Bees
Author: Mark Winston
Publisher: Harbour Publishing
ISBN: 0889711313
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
Listening to the Bees is a collaborative exploration by two writers to illuminate the most profound human questions: Who are we? Who do we want to be in the world? Through the distinct but complementary lenses of science and poetry, Mark Winston and Renée Saklikar reflect on the tension of being an individual living in a society, and about the devastation wrought by overly intensive management of agricultural and urban habitats. Listening to the Bees takes readers into the laboratory and out to the field, into the worlds of scientists and beekeepers, and to meetings where the research community intersects with government policy and business. The result is an insiders’ view of the way research is conducted—its brilliant potential and its flaws—along with the personal insights and remarkable personalities experienced over a forty-year career that parallels the rise of industrial agriculture.

Corners

Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
Society’s latest attempt to create unity among the diverse people of the world was to create one government, one unified race of people. Integral—and without which, this goal could not be accomplished—was the Leaving. Well-intentioned but fatally flawed and cruel at its inception. A state-mandated and tightly controlled expulsion of all children at the age of eighteen from their homes. Their destinations only known by the state. Their goodbyes to their family and friends are final. The story begins as one family—Father, Son, and Daughter—prepares for Son’s Leaving. The state, in its cold efficiency, plans every detail of his last day together. The state, however, did not plan for the train accident that sends Son in a panic, running away, and has Daughter and Father now presumed enemies of the state in their search for him. Meanwhile, in the form of a man and woman, the eternal emerges. Walking among them. Silent of late. Wakening to heal the poison that the state represents. The rebellion has begun. The story bending time and space, interweaved with all others. Some feeling the effects first. Others to a greater degree. Others to a lesser degree. Those in power took notice and took action. This, it knew, would come to pass. This was necessary, inevitable. Many times in many worlds, it had waited for the time to waken. The time to choose was now. Some worlds had chosen poorly. All He/She had was hope and a small group of unlikely rebels.

Matthew
Author: Anna Case-Winters
Publisher: Westminster John Knox Press
ISBN: 1611645654
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 408
Book Description
One of the most beloved books of the New Testament, the Gospel of Matthew speaks with eloquence and power. Among the Gospels, Matthew paints a fuller picture of the life, ministry, and teachings of Jesus. Anna Case-Winters's incisive commentary reveals that Matthew is clearly a theological book. It is about God's saving work in Jesus Christ. Moreover, it is presented in a way that easily lends itself to the task of teaching and preaching. Case-Winters highlights five themes that shape the distinctive portrait of Jesus this Gospel offers. Here we see Jesus facing up to conflict and controversy, ministering at the margins, overturning presuppositions about insiders and outsiders, privileging the powerless, demonstrating the authority of ethical leadership, challenging allegiance to empire, and pointing the way to a wider divine embrace than many dared imagine. Case-Winters captures the core of Matthew's unique Gospel, which speaks powerfully to the life of Christian faith today in the midst of our own issues and struggles.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 78
Book Description
Embark on an epic adventure through time with Emily Carter, a young historian whose life takes an extraordinary turn when she discovers an ancient artifact known as the Time Weaver. In this captivating novel, Emily is thrust into a world where the past, present, and future are intricately connected, and the fabric of history hangs by a delicate thread. The Time Weaver: Guardians of History's Hidden Threads takes you on a thrilling journey through pivotal moments that have shaped our world. From the grandeur of Renaissance Florence to the chaos of the American Civil War, Emily witnesses history firsthand, guided by the enigmatic teachings of the Chronomancers—an ancient order dedicated to understanding and preserving the flow of time. When Emily uncovers the Time Weaver in the Museum of Antiquities, she finds herself armed with the power to travel through time. But with this power comes immense responsibility. The scrolls left by the Chronomancers warn of the dangers of tampering with history, and Emily soon learns that even the smallest actions can have far-reaching consequences. As she navigates the complexities of time travel, Emily encounters the shadowy Temporal Syndicate, a group bent on manipulating history for their own gain. Their clashes test her resolve and ingenuity, forcing her to confront the darker aspects of human nature and the profound impact of power. Each chapter of this spellbinding tale brings Emily to a different era, where she faces new challenges and uncovers the secrets of history. Whether she is preventing an assassination that could alter the course of World War I or guiding a brilliant physicist to realize her potential, Emily's actions are driven by a deep sense of duty and a desire to protect the integrity of the timeline. As Emily delves deeper into her role as a Guardian of Time, she undergoes a personal journey of self-discovery. Through her introspection and the wisdom of the Codex Tempus, Emily learns that her mission is not just about observing history but about understanding and safeguarding the intricate web of human experience. Her growth from a curious historian to a vigilant guardian is mirrored in the philosophical teachings of the Chronomancers, who emphasize the interconnectedness of all moments in time. The narrative is enriched by Emily's encounters with influential figures like Alaric Voss, a brilliant scientist and ally who shares her commitment to preserving history. Together, they develop advanced techniques for detecting and correcting temporal anomalies, strengthening Emily's resolve and equipping her for the challenges ahead. The Time Weaver: Guardians of History's Hidden Threads is more than just a tale of time travel.
