The first part of the book, which is based on interviews with Dr. Each chapter follows a specific structure: an anecdote from his time as a lawyer (an opening), then an interview with one expert on this topic (the overwhelming majority of each chapter), followed by some concluding remarks at its end. In each section he interviews people who have different backgrounds but all agree that they can verify whether or not what is written in the Bible is true. He splits the book into three sections: examining the record investigating the man and weighing the evidence. In order to investigate the Bible, Strobel decides to interview a number of experts in Christianity. However, when his wife becomes a Christian, he begins to question her beliefs by applying the skills of an investigative journalist and lawyer to determine whether there’s any credible evidence backing up the Bible’s claims about God and Jesus’ crucifixion saving mankind. He has earned degrees in journalism and law, as well as experience working for newspapers. Lee Strobel is a journalist and a lawyer. 1-Page Summary of The Case for Christ Overall Summary

Rudy Wiebe has a difficult time articulating the attitudes of ethnic insiders toward outsiders. Unlike mainstream literature, ethnic fiction features insiders who are members of the minority group and outsiders who are generally members of the majority culture. In ethnic literature, Weaver identifies a moral challenge that includes sustaining the minority perspective without degrading the outsider (Weaver 215). According to Weaver’s analysis of the “Peace Shall Destroy Many” using the question posed by the central character, Thom Wiens “why must we…. Weaver adds his contribution to the analysis to the “Peace shall Destroy Many” by spotting a moral dilemma in the Mennonite community. Similarly, the book enabled Rudy Wiebe to get the measure of racism and sexuality, which was a test of the perception held regarding Mennonites as people. Rudy Wiebe was unafraid to share his wonders openly and philosophically, even conflicts that originate from non-conflict (peace) nature. Consequently, their Christianity nature alienated them from politics and the military though they affected them greatly. The Mennonite community had practiced agriculture and Christianity as their lifestyle. This was as a result after his novel aroused great controversy among the Mennonite communities after publishing it in 1962 (Wiebe 2). Although Rudy Wiebe meant no harm while publishing the book, he found himself in a critical situation that obligated him to resign from his position as the editor of the Mennonite Brethren Herald.

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of It Ends with Us and It Starts with Us! Later, after he is dismembered by incensed female groupies (“Get over her already”), his still-singing head and other parts (unillustrated, unfortunately) are gathered for burial by the Muses. When Eurydice, fending off a grabby wedding guest, is fatally bitten by a snake, Orpheus cuts a wrenchingly lonely figure as he makes his way to Hades’ eerie otherworldly realm in an almost successful effort to bring his love back to life. In Pommaux’s neoclassical-style drawings, slender, pale Orpheus looks so fetchingly ethereal it’s no wonder that when he plays for the ladies, one sighs: “He’s so dreamy.” Arbitrarily right-handed in some scenes and left-handed in others, he produces music-represented by odd airborne flurries of dots and hinky abstract symbols-from a lyre with a turtle-shell soundbox that likewise switches sides on occasion. Not that the story’s tragic events sit heavily on this rendition. This spare, graphic retelling of the myth features illustrations that underscore its pervasive sadness. In 1986, Edward's child, Novak-just Novak-is an acrobatic window washer cleaning Manhattan high-rises, who gets caught up in the plight of Cecily, a small town girl remade as a gender-bending Broadway ingénue.Īnd in 2015, Cecily's daughter Flip-a burned-out stoner trapped in a bureaucratic job firing cremains into keepsake glass ornaments-resolves to break the cycle of inherited secrets, reaching back through the generations in search of a family legacy that feels true.įor readers of Mary Beth Keane, Min Jin Lee, and Rebecca Makkai, Glassworks is "an era-spanning, family and chosen-family following, marvel of a debut."

After years as an independent woman of fortune, influential with the board of a prominent university because of her financial donations, she is now subject to the whims of an abusive, spendthrift husband. In 1910, Agnes Carter makes the wrong choice in marriage. A gorgeously written and irresistibly intimate queer novel that follows one family across four generations to explore legacy and identity in all its forms. It went on to win Miura a prize from the Comi Manga School. In 1988, Miura bounced back with a 48-page manga known as Berserk Prototype, as an introduction to the current Berserk fantasy world. This is approximately where Miura's career hit a slump. Due to a disagreement with one of the editors, the manga was stalled and eventually dropped altogether. Another Miura manga Noa was published in Weekly Shōnen Magazine the very same year. This project was later nominated Best New Author work in Weekly Shōnen Magazine. He submitted Futanabi for examination and was granted admission. In 1985, Miura applied for the entrance examination of an art college in Nihon University. That same year, in 1982, Miura enrolled in an artistic curriculum in high school, where he and his classmates started publishing their works in school booklets, as well as having his first dōjinshi published in a fan-produced magazine. His first dōjinshi was published, with the help of friends, in a magazine in 1982. When he was in middle school in 1979, Miura's drawing techniques improved greatly as he started using professional drawing techniques. In 1977, Miura created his second manga called Ken e no michi (剣への道 The Way to the Sword), using Indian ink for the first time. In 1976, at the early age of 10, Miura made his first Manga, entitled "Miuranger", that was published for his classmates in a school publication the manga ended up spanning 40 volumes.

Donne’s atmospheric, twisty update of a cherished classic will keep you up late into the night!” -Elly Blake, NYT bestselling author of the Frostblood Saga “ Brightly Burning delivers a brooding gothic mystery and a swoony romance, all set in space. “One of the most anticipated YA debuts of 2018, Brightly Burning is a gothic, romantic mystery with hints of Jane Eyre, Marissa Meyer, and Kiera Cass.” - Entertainment Weekly If there is to be hope for change, Starr comes to realize, it must be through the exercise of her voice, even if it puts her and her family in harm’s way. Difficulties are exacerbated by their encounters with the local drug lord for whom Khalil was dealing to earn money for his impoverished family. As the case becomes national news, violence erupts in her neighborhood, and Starr finds herself and her family caught in the middle. Her bifurcated life changes dramatically when she is the only witness to the unprovoked police shooting of her unarmed friend Khalil and is challenged to speak out-though with trepidation-about the injustices being done in the event’s wake.

Booklist Editors' Choice: Books for Youth, 2017. The year 1969 is a heady one, of course, with the Summer of Love still fresh in memory, but Altamont on the way and Vietnam all around. Along the way, new neighbors appear, drugs make their way into the idyllic landscape and two new orphans turn up “behind the cathedral on Broad Street.” The combination of all these disparate elements bears the unmistakable makings of a spirit-shaping saga. It is on Bloomsday (June 16) 1969 that 18-year-old Leo learns his mother had once been a nun. The Greeks knew that, and so does young Leopold Bloom King. This one starts most promisingly: “Nothing happens by accident.” Indeed. The title refers, meaningfully, to a section of Charleston, S.C., and, as with so many Southern tales, one great story begets another and another. First novel in 14 years from the gifted spinner of Southern tales ( Beach Music, 1995, etc.)-a tail-wagging shaggy dog at turns mock-epic and gothic, beautifully written throughout. |
