Faith Rising—Between the Lines
Author: David B. Bowman
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1666700320
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
This writing intends to rouse would-be believers to faith--or enhance the faith of others--through the adventure of modern fiction. While taking note of the secularity of our era, the author insists the Spirit of God has not departed the scene. The opening poem by Emily Dickinson, "Tell all the truth but tell it slant," proposes the author's contention that the "indirect discourse" of fictional writers may welcome readers to faith's door in ways sermonic speech never did. The modern authors chosen for this purpose are Izak Dinesen, Annie Dillard, Kent Haruf, Loren Eiseley, Gary Trudeau, Garrison Keillor, William Golding, Walker Percy, Frederick Buechner, and Gabriel Marcel. Having explained one work each by these noted authors, the book closes by pointing to ways in which embedded faith may rise out of these pages to meet the reader where he or she lives.

Book Description
Prepare, dear reader, for the tale of Solomon Snow, his bossy friend Prudence, and the insufferable Infant Prodigy as they set out in search of Solly’s rightful inheritance — despite some woeful misadventures along the way! Solomon Snow lives in a run-down cottage just outside the village of Boring, works for Ma and Pa Scubbins's laundry business, and has nothing to eat but a gloppy stew known as pottage. It's a pitiful existence, but it's all Solly knows. Then, one day, a secret is revealed that changes his life forever—a secret that happens to involve a mysterious silver spoon. On his resulting quest, Solly is joined by a curious cast of characters: a sharp-minded girl named Prudence, a charming child called the Infant Prodigy, and a filthy (yet extremely cheerful) chimney sweep. Can Solly's new friends help him to reclaim his spoon—and his true identity?

This book will equip you with ideas and priceless pearls of wisdom that you can use to achieve success in all spheres of your life. The author examines the habits of successful people and condenses them into a single compendium for you to easily apply into your everyday living. The answers to good health, sound wealth, contentment and serenity lies herein. This book unearths the secrets and simple truths to success by extracting several mediations and transforming these into practical solutions, necessary for you to excel and grow exponentially in your life. I personally, have applied the teachings of this book, to achieve many great things including the purchase of two properties before the age of 30, the establishment of the Changing Lives Foundation, the penning of several articles, the deliverance of several key note addresses, the management of several workshops and finding the perfect life partner to name but a few. I have been fortunate enough to have interacted with many great individuals through the course of my career and I have also been blessed enough to be placed into many challenging situations that forced me to sip from the cup of life albeit at first bitter, the lessons of the aftertaste was indeed sweet. I grew up in a middle income home with a hard working self-employed father and an equally as hard working stay at home mother from both of whom, I have received priceless knowledge, guidance and understanding to navigate through the waters of life and achieve success in every area thereto. The lessons and advice from this book, has helped several young and old, men and women, from diverse parts of society, achieve success, in both their personal and professional lives. To cite a few other real life examples, a young South African female, took the decision to change her life and relocated from Durban to Johannesburg in 2019. She had her life transformed on all levels both professionally and personally. After applying the principles of this compendium, she has gone, from being an unemployed, shy and reserved teenager who lived in a township in KwaZulu-Natal, to becoming an independent, confident, outspoken and now permanently employed woman, in the role of a junior manager might I add, now living her best life in Sandton. Need I say more about what this book can do for you? A divorced, middle aged South African male faced endless child custody battles and was constantly depressed, tired and demotivated. He is now enjoying some of the best moments of his life in his professional and personal sphere, heading up his department, always laughing, and now spending precious moments with this child. He is now happier and healthier than he would ever have imagined. How about a bi-polar male who lived alone with little to no hope for his life. He lost his parents as a teenager and lived between families. He made the decision to turn his life around and found a renewed purpose. He is now a renowned physical trainer and has a stable happy family. Your life will change forever once you’ve read and applied the wisdom of this compendium. Being an educator and a mentor, I always encourage reading and nourishment of minds. Reading is knowledge, knowledge is power, power is choice, choice is freedom and freedom is the ultimate goal of life. Go on… Open the pages toward the best of your life and rewrite your destiny to live your Best Life! Succeed in Your Life and Inspire Others to do the same!
