Pages : 123
Book Description
Divine Love is worth reading! I believe it is essential in our lives as children of God. When people fall short of it, they easily get disconnected from the presence of God. In this book, we will look at both the love with which we love God and the one with which we love people or our neighbours. The love you have for God will empower you to love people from all walks of life. Divine love is the love of God, referred to as the Agape love in the Greek rendering. I pray you will undergo divine change and revival as you read this book. There is no way you can claim to love God if you are walking in hatred towards your wife, husband, mum, dad, uncle, or neighbour. No! The love you have for God will enlighten you to love people regardless of their wrongdoings. Hence, don’t read this book with a casual mindset—instead, engage your spirit. It is not just reading that will revolutionise you to walk in dominion, but much more your desire to encounter Jesus Christ in your life. Many people, even Christians, are looking for encounters with God, but they don’t know the key. Get this book! You will scale greater heights of wisdom, understanding, knowledge, and spiritual growth in Christ Jesus!!

The Open Road
Author: Jean GionoPublisher: New York Review of Books
ISBN: 1681375117
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
A nomad and a swindler embark on an eccentric road trip in this picaresque, philosophical novel by the author of The Man Who Planted Trees. The south of France, 1950: A solitary vagabond walks through the villages, towns, valleys, and foothills of the region between northern Provence and the Alps. He picks up work along the way and spends the winter as the custodian of a walnut-oil mill. He also picks up a problematic companion: a cardsharp and con man, whom he calls “the Artist.” The action moves from place to place, and episode to episode, in truly picaresque fashion. Everything is told in the first person, present tense, by the vagabond narrator, who goes unnamed. He himself is a curious combination of qualities—poetic, resentful, cynical, compassionate, flirtatious, and self-absorbed. While The Open Road can be read as loosely strung entertainment, interspersed with caustic reflections, it can also be interpreted as a projection of the relationship of author, art, and audience. But it is ultimately an exploration of the tensions and boundaries between affection and commitment, and of the competing needs for solitude, independence, and human bonds. As always in Jean Giono, the language is rich in natural imagery and as ruggedly idiomatic as it is lyrical.
