Confessions of a Church Mouse

Pages : 92
Book Description
Bre'nae Whiteley was a church mouse: quiet, unassuming, rarely drawing attention to herself. Honoring the way she was raised, Bre'nae felt more eager to learn in church than to socialize or lead groups. She found that this quiet, unassuming side of her personality leads some members to question her prayer life and faith. Made evident while gathered in the fellowship hall, preparing to consecrate before going into the choir stand. The choir president asked for someone to say a prayer, before anyone could respond the comment was made "Sis Whiteley doesn't pray" a conclusion drawn because of her quiet ways. The comment stung. After all, Bre'nae prayed regularly not always in front of others. But instead of taking offence, Bre'nae was inspired to use it as an opportunity to reflect on her own prayer life. She found that not only could she grow in her communication with God. There were no doubt other quiet, unassuming church goers all over the nation that more than likely found themselves in the category of the Church Mouse. By closely examining her prayer life and her relationship with God, she learned that a church mouse has a special role in praying for the body of Christ and encouraging its well-being in ways that are quiet but incredibly valuable.

Life of a Song
Author: Jan DalleyPublisher: Nicholas Brealey
ISBN: 1473670470
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 166
Book Description
Who knew that Paul McCartney originally referred to Yesterday as 'Scrambled Eggs' because he couldn't think of any lyrics for his heart-breaking tune? Or that Patti LaBelle didn't know what 'Voulez-vous couches avec moi ce soir?' actually meant? These and countless other fascinating back stories of some of our best-known and best-loved songs fill this book, a collection of the highly successful weekly The Life of a Song columns that appear in the FT Weekend every Saturday. Each 600-word piece gives a mini-biography of a single song, from its earliest form (often a spiritual, or a jazz number), through the various covers and changes, often morphing from one genre to another, always focusing on the 'biography' of the song itself while including the many famous artists who have performed or recorded it. The selection covers a wide spectrum of the songs we all know and love - rock, pop, folk, jazz and more. Each piece is pithy, sparkily written, knowledgeable, entertaining, full of anecdotes and surprises. They combine deep musical knowledge with the vivid background of the performers and musicians, and of course the often intriguing social and political background against which the songs were created.
