The Ballad of Barnabas Pierkiel
Author: Magdalena Zyzak
Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 0805095527
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
A story of love and adventure in an imaginary Slavic nation on the brink of historic change—the debut of a ribald and raucous new literary voice Set in the quaint (though admittedly backward) fictional nation of Scalvusia in 1939, The Ballad of Barnabas Pierkiel follows the exploits of a young swineherd with romantic delusions of grandeur. Desperate to attract the voluptuous Roosha, the Gypsy concubine of the local boot-and-shoe magnate, Barnabas and his short-legged steed Wilhelm get embroiled in a series of scandals and misadventures, as every attempt at wooing ends in catastrophe. After the mysterious death of an important figure in the community, a witch-hunt ensues, and a stranger falls from the sky. Barnabas begins to see the terrible tide of history turning in his beloved hometown. The wonderfully eccentric supporting cast includes a priest driven mad by a fig tree, a gang of louts who taunt our reluctant hero at every turn, and a dim-witted vagabond with a goat for a wife. Even as her characters brush up against one of the darkest moments of the twentieth century, Magdalena Zyzak's humor and prose delight in the absurdities of the human animal.

Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 162
Book Description
Many believers have a hard time accepting transformation is a part of God's plan for their lives. Changes happen every day. We accept address changes, income changes, management changes, and we even agree that our physical appearance changes, but we do not embrace that God wants to change our sinful nature to that of a Holy people. Change is something we all need; however, few are willing to make the change from mediocre to greatness. Prophetess Lori McKenney shares about the 4 stages a caterpillar must achieve before it transforms into a beautiful butterfly. In correlation, she imparts how the heart and mind is connected to the complete metamorphosis process. The powerful scriptures and motivational quotes found in "Transformation" also reveal the treasures of how God wants you to have a successful life. A must have for your personal library and chat groups. "Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass." (Psalm 37:5)

A Time To Act
Author: S.J. Knight
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1503509990
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 667
Book Description
This is a novel about Paul the Apostle from birth to the end of his first missionary journey. Written for adults, nevertheless it is contains nothing unsuitable for advanced younger readers. There are many books about this great man, but this is something fresh and different, a ‘back story’ creating warm empathy with a complex man who is both anguished and admirable, flawed and likeable. Far more than a mere ‘character’, in this novel the passionate Shaul Benjamin of Tarsus steps out of the New Testament pages, coming to life in a story of ambition, failure, and redemption. The childhood, formative years, friendships, and struggles of this driven man are all depicted in intriguing detail, with lively characters, believable incidents, and a well researched background. The book also gives insight on what might have been behind the more unusual quirks of his strong personality, which shaped his outlook to life and the gospel. Culturally relevant, and faithful to the New Testament record, this fictional work takes the reader on a journey of love and laughter, fear and failure, tears, and excitement. For believers and non believers alike, it is enjoyable as a robust story of Jewish experience and travel in the first century Roman empire, and the birth of a momentous new world faith.

Stay Happy Children’s Stories

Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1664188746
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 104
Book Description
All these stories are based on real life adventures and, perhaps the most heartfelt; these are among the thousands of stories that the author shared with his daughter Lois (to whom all these book series are dedicated) every night from the time she was around 2 years old to around 7 years of age. Every night without fail, before going to sleep, the author would read children’s’ Bible stories, pray with her and narrate to her a true life story about his very adventurous childhood years growing up in Kenya. Having been born in the United States and having a great deal of intellectual curiosity and adventure, she found the stories unbelievably exciting. Amazingly she still does even as a young adult. Over and above the stories, the books provide fun activities, word search, plus coloring and spot the difference activities that are sure to keep families at home and while traveling really engaged and having fun. These fun activities also have a learning component where the children learn a few important facts and principles about every topic covered in each story, but in a fun, non-traditional-class way. The author owns the copyright to all the graphics. The names of characters and places have been changed to protect identities. Barnabas Gikonyo, Ph.D.
