Coming All the Way Home
Author: Fred McCarthy
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476684707
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
In 1968, twenty-one-year-old Fred McCarthy transitioned from the monastic life of a seminary student to that of a U.S. Army helicopter gunship commander in Vietnam. Despite preparation from a family tradition of decorated combat service, a strong sense of patriotism, a love for aviation, and a desire for adventure, he got far more than he bargained for. Written after 50 years of reflection, reading, and study, this memoir tells both a universal story about war, adventure, and perseverance and, also shares the intensely personal experience of the Vietnam War and its legacy for those who fought in it. McCarthy describes many of his missions, reflects on the nature of being a combat helicopter pilot, and processes the experience through his poetry, letters home, and reflective analysis.

ISBN: 1365566862
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 181
Book Description
In this time of ecological crisis, all that is holy calls us into a more intimate partnership with the diverse and beautiful beings of this earth. In Finding Our Way Home, Myke Johnson reflects on her personal journey into such a partnership and offers a guide for others to begin this path. Lyrically expressed, it weaves together lessons from a chamomile flower, a small bird, a copper beech tree, a garden slug, and a forest fern, along with insights from Indigenous philosophy, environmental science, fractal geometry, childhood Catholic mysticism, the prophet Elijah, fairy tales, and permaculture design. This eco-spiritual journey also wrestles with the history of our society's destruction of the natural world, and its roots in the original theft of the land from Indigenous peoples. Exploring the spiritual dimensions of our brokenness, it offers tools to create healing. Finding Our Way Home is a ceremony to remember our essential unity with all of life.

Touching the Fire
Author: Ray Gonzalez
Publisher: Anchor
ISBN: 0385478623
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 317
Book Description
As we approach the new century, Latino poetry is in the midst of its most vital and productive period. Poetry by Mexican Americans, Puerto Ricans, and Cuban Americans has changed the course of contemporary American writing forever. And it has done this by emphasizing poetry as the sound of everyday life--showing readers and other writers that the most effective manner of preserving the traditions of a culture comes from the colorful language of daily experience. Touching the Fire recognizes the excitement of this movement by focusing on a few of its major poets, presenting a substantial portion of each poet's work. Some of these poets--Martin Espada, Lorna Dee Cervantes, and Victor Hernandez Vruz, for example--have been writing and publishing a long time. Some are only starting their careers. But they were all chosen because they best represent the strongest elements of modern Latino poetry--a confidence of language in its many forms, a gift for shattering emotional honesty, and an ear for the rhythms of a vibrant culture. Featuring the poetry of: Sandra M. Castillo Lorna Dee Cervantes Judith Ortiz Cofer Victor Hernandez Cruz Silvia Curbelo Juan Delgado Martin Espada Diana Garcia Richard Garcia Ray Gonzalez Maurice Kilwein Guevara Juan Felipe Herrera Dionisio D.

Both Hands Before the Fire
Author: Spencer Wade
Publisher: Trafford Publishing
ISBN: 1466965193
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 359
Book Description
Spencer Wade was born in March of 1888, into a mining family in the village of West Auckland situated in the Durham coalfields. Following the death of his father, a deputy over-man at the Townsend pit, his family fell upon hard times. Spencer, his two brothers, five sisters, and their mother struggled to survive. Eventually, at the age of fourteen, Spencer joined his brother Wilson down the pit of the local mines. He, like his siblings, did his part. After several years as a young miner, Spencer's fate took a turn. As the result of an interview with the Anglican bishop of Durham, he was identified by as "promising." The young man was sent to Macclesfield Grammar School and then to Manchester University, where he distinguished himself with a classical honours Degree. Soon after, he was ordained and went on to serve as a clerk in holy orders in over a dozen country parishes. His career was punctuated with a number of interesting diversions and highlights: as a young man, he worked with William Temple on the Life and Liberty Movement; he preached twice to King George V; and he served as a chaplain in the RAF and for the High Sheriff of Northumberland. Spencer Wade went home to the Lord in 1976, after a long and distinguished life of service to others. This, his autobiography, offers erudite reflections of faith and a delightful and candid glimpse into the life of an ordinary country parson, whose life was anything but ordinary.
