Quinn’s Just Like Heaven is the dazzling first installment of a delightful quartet of Regency Era-set tales featuring the romantic exploits of the well-meaning but less-than-accomplished Smythe-Smith musicians—in this case, a beautiful violinist in the pitiful group who has her sights set on marrying the last unwed Bridgerton…unless her handsome, love-struck guardian has anything to say about it.

The Music of Heaven

Pages : 164
Book Description
What is the music of heaven really like? Read a Bible-based answer from John Thurber, a professional musician who has made a lifelong study of the topic. Churches everywhere are in a crisis mode over what to sing and play for the assembly of the saints in worship. Many have unanswered questions such as: Is God concerned about the music being played by Christians today? Is the music being played in my church of heavenly, or earthly origin? How should the church react to all the new "flavors" of music? Was Lucifer's "pride problem"--The one that started his rebellion in heaven-somehow tied to his music? And is it still hounding the saints today? What about the music that so many of our youth love so dearly. Are they being led or misled? Are we swept up in worshipping stars rather than looking to and praising the Star of heaven? John Thurber finds the answers to these questions, and more, in this important new book on the music of heaven. Pastor Thurber's first sermon, which he preached while a student in college, was on this wonderful topic. Since that day, he has spent many happy hours searching the inspired pages of the Scriptures and Spirit of Prophecy to learn even more of God's music. You'll find the results of his study in this book, including: The role music has played in the great controversy between Christ and Satan Detailed descriptions of what heaven's music is-and isn't-like, and 27 Practical Principles for choosing heavenly music No book Pastor Thurber wrote would be complete without stories, so he's put a few of those in, too. Read the touching story of the fat lady and the circus, and how God worked in her life through music, in "Baby Francis and the Bullet Holes." Your heart will be warmed as you read how God send a "shoe shine" boy to Pastor Thurber in an airport one day. And your thinking will be stirred by the lesson behind "When the Crowd Didn't Clap." Before his retirement, Pastor Thurber taught music in several different academies and colleges. The highlight of Pastor Thurber's music ministry was singing with the King's Heralds Quartet at the Voice of Prophecy, and traveling with H.M.S. Richards Sr. and his fellow musicians there. Pastor Thurber brings all of his experience, and the wisdom gained through his career as a professional musician, into this inspiring book.

Book Description
Timeless, beautiful, and haunting, spirals connect the four episodes of The Ghosts of Heaven, the mesmerizing new novel from Printz Award winner Marcus Sedgwick. They are there in prehistory, when a girl picks up a charred stick and makes the first written signs; there tens of centuries later, hiding in the treacherous waters of Golden Beck that take Anna, who people call a witch; there in the halls of a Long Island hospital at the beginning of the 20th century, where a mad poet watches the oceans and knows the horrors it hides; and there in the far future, as an astronaut faces his destiny on the first spaceship sent from earth to colonize another world. Each of the characters in these mysterious linked stories embarks on a journey of discovery and survival; carried forward through the spiral of time, none will return to the same place. This title has Common Core connections.
Canons and Wisdoms
Author: Albert CookPublisher: University of Pennsylvania Press
ISBN: 1512801291
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
In Canons and Wisdoms, Albert Cook addresses what is arguable the most profound question about poetry and literature: What is its human value? Cook claims that the value lies in the special yield of wisdom rich, full, and not available in other forms of human discourse. This somewhat traditional position is reinforced by the related arguments of such philosophers as Adorno and Heidegger, and by other works in Renaissance poetry and modern poetry and fiction, where the sense of the work becomes clearer when it is seen in the light of such a question. Cook addresses what can be claimed for poetry and literature after all due allowance has been made for the relativity of canons, the subjectivity of the literary experience, and the subtle and comprehensive effects of received expectations. Such questions have dominated recent discussions about the value of literature. The nature of all human utterance argues for its being aimed at social inclusion, formalized as a canon, even though such a notion must remain ideal. Canons and Wisdoms is an eloquent and original contribution to the ongoing debate about the canon. It is the work of an experienced, erudite, and individualistic scholar working at the intersection of philosophy and literary theory and criticism.

When the Englishman's sister, a promising Surrey painter, visits along with her husband and young son, the ranch hands soon learn that this reunion is more than a family gathering. The brother-in-law, who provided most of the investment money for the Rolling F Ranch, has come to take over the ownership and management. As the crew ponders its shift of loyalty to such a man, they begin to see signs that he is a wife-beater. When Clayton attempts to interfere in this suppressed spousal abuse, he finds himself in an awkward position with his present employer and future employer. His dedication to protecting this headstrong artistic woman leads to a surprising bond between ranch foreman and celebrated painter, a relationship that totters between mutual respect and romance.
