a blessing from above elizabeth edge patti henderson

A beautiful story about adoption—and how each child is a blessing.Every night before she goes to sleep, a kangaroo prays under the stars for a baby to love and hold. One day, as she rests under a tree, a baby bird falls out of its crowded nest—plop!—right into her pouch! Now, every night before they fall asleep, Momma-Roo and Little One thank God for all their blessings . . . but especially for each other. The book closes with a quote from Ephesians 1:5: “In love he destined us for adoption to himself. . . .”

In 1956, when she was only four years old, Karen Heasley died on the operating table while having her tonsils removed. While she was dead, she travelled through a dark tunnel and felt a peace she hasn''t felt since. It would be twenty years until she discovered the work of Raymond Moody and understood she had had a Near Death Experience. It also explained why she was sensitive to the spirits around her.One hundred years before Karen''s birth, in 1907, Lydia Marquette was the first medium to stand up for her rights to practice Spiritualism in New Castle, Pennsylvania. After suffering through a fortune-telling trial, she went on to help found a new religion in the flourishing steel town. She joined with the Johns family and Agnes Guthrie to become leaders who changed the culture of the city.BLESSING FROM AGNES is based on true events. It interweaves the struggles of the early Spiritualists and Karen''s efforts to remain "normal" in an old western Pennsylvania steel town. It follows her as she discovers her true calling and rids herself of the expectations of her community, church, and family to become a Spiritualist medium. The fight is not always easy, but like ...

Thrilling, funny, fresh, and surprising, From Above is a one-of-a-kind graphic novel that is impossible to put down. As the Washington Post noted: “Panchaud’s diagrammatic style, informed by his dyslexia, is conceptually fresh;" This innovative, award-winning graphic novel uses the visual language of infographics to tell the story of Simon—an average teenager whose brush with a fortune teller sends him on a surreal adventure.From Above is an internationally acclaimed, groundbreaking graphic novel that tells its story from a bird’s-eye view. Characters are depicted as colored circles in a graphic and strikingly designed visual approach reminiscent of Chris Ware's. Readers are encouraged to actively engage with the story as its relatively simple setup unfolds into a shocking and surreal adventure. Simon is an unpopular and awkward 14-year-old boy. Overweight, eager to please, and well-meaning, no matter how hard he tries, his lot in life is to be bullied by the neighborhood children and neglected by his absentminded parents. But one day everything changes for Simon when he does a favor for a fortune teller who rewards him by telling him the name of the winning horse at the Royal Ascot. Simon becomes an overnight millionaire when he bets his father’s life ... Unknown localization key: "more"

In conversation with ninety-one women over the age of eighty in California, northern Iceland, south India, and among Sisters of St. Joseph in western New York, A View from Life’s Edge explores how, in the face of death, a sense of what really matters can clarify. Here we find a loosening of certitudes normally meant to keep life’s unwieldiness at bay, a chipping away at the illusion that any of us are captains of our own perfectly sailing ships. Reflecting on stories and opinions shared with her across the globe, Dempsey describes how a countercultural realism and an expanded sense of wonder repeatedly emerge in later life. These are offerings that call for our attention and yet face a double challenge. In as much as we strive to deny life’s finitude, we deny older adults their voices. A central conundrum of ageism is that we silence out of fear that which could quell our fears.

The book is an account of the U.S. Marine Corps 3rd Battalion, 23rd Marine Regiment ("3/23"), who were tasked with governing Wasit Province immediately after the Coalition invasion as part of the 1st Marine Division. Then Lt. Col. David Couvillon, was appointed provincial military governor—a position for which he had zero training and preparation. His instructions were simple: "If anything happens, it's your responsibility." As simple as that order was, it was also very complicated. It’s difficult to grasp the challenge the 3/23 faced after the Coalition’s invasion of Iraq, overseeing a population of over a million people scattered across 6600 sq. miles: the breakdown of normal society, interruption and outright devastation of infrastructure, political and religious schisms, and the collapse of a functioning economy. The province was in shambles. 3/23 had to provide basic security for both military personnel and the populace, while also thwarting insurgency. Couvillon and his men had very little direction—sometimes without sufficient resources. Marines are not trained for long-term occupation. They are trained in first-strike operations. Establishing city councils, creating women's political parties, holding local elections, creating a functioning police force, instituting a civilian judicial system, instituting a free press and independent TV and radio ...

Versailles seen from the sky is dreamlike. First to experience this remarkable sight on September 19, 1783, were three passengers aboard the world''s first hot-air balloon flight: a sheep, a duck, and a chicken. These animals rose up into the sky in front of King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette, making Versailles a pioneering location in the conquest of the air.In the twenty-first century, the advent of drone cameras makes it possible to capture an infinity of new perspectives from the air. Versailles is particularly beautiful when seen from above, and the stunning images in this volume reveal the ingenious geometry of its different spaces, while also offering a panoramic view of the estate in all its immensity. The classical gardens lend themselves well to aerial views: the Grande Perspective, the fountains, the intricate parterres, many of which were plotted out on architectural plans. The wooded groves seem to take on new forms: the Domes, Colonnade, and Obelisk groves resemble watch faces on which the channels that feed the fountains mark out the time; the Chestnut Grove shrouded in snow assumes the shape of a violin; the Grand Canal at sunset becomes a glowing ribbon.Versailles from the Sky

'From the first page to the last, I could not put down this book. I am a Girl from Africa is a story that can uplift and inspire every girl and boy from every part of the world. Beautifully told, and beautifully lived.' Angela Duckworth, author of GritA powerful memoir about a girl from Africa whose near-death experience sparked a dream that changed the world. She squeezes my hand and smiles. “I am here to feed hungry children in the village, because as Africans we must uplift each other.”I don’t understand what it means to uplift others, but I nod.I know that I can finally stand up. I will search for food. I will live. When severe draught hit her village in Zimbabwe, Elizabeth, then eight, had no idea that this moment of utter devastation would come to define her life purpose. Unable to move from hunger, she encountered a United Nations aid worker who gave her a bowl of warm porridge and saved her life. This transformative moment inspired Elizabeth to become a humanitarian, and she vowed to dedicate her life to giving back to her community, her continent and the world. Grounded by the African concept of Ubuntu ... Unknown localization key: "more"

It begins with a deeply inspiring wish for the positive welfare of another person. Writer and social justice advocate Pierre Pradervand believes that making the conscious choice to bless every person or being around you can truly make the world a better place.In The Gentle Art of Blessing, Pradervand shows that the practice of blessing has the power to create more than just a momentary change. It unleashes tangible benefits throughout your entire life—through your daily interactions, your relationships, and how the laws of positive expectations and unconditional love can open the doors to a more peaceful world. Pradervand describes a blessing as genuinely wishing the best for another person through seeing their individual worth and honoring them for it. By looking at several different perspectives—providing spiritual inspiration from Hinduism, Taoism, the Koran, the Bible, and other important spiritual sources—The Gentle Art of Blessing provides the tools for people to shift their attitude from negativity to acceptance. These blessings can be practiced daily in everyday situations whether it be at the supermarket, driving in rush hour, or spending time in the workplace, the simple action of blessing the event can turn a challenging experience into an experience of grace and ...

Nový titul zpěvačky, básnířky a spisovatelky Patti Smith, autorky slavné knihy Just Kids, je ojedinělým autobiografickým záznamem. Kontemplativní odyseu, která vznikala přibližně v letech 2011-2013, sama autorka nazvala "automapou svého života". Příslovečný vlak vzpomínek "M Train" se dává do pohybu v malé kavárničce v Greenwich Village, kam Patti Smith každé ráno vyráží na šálek černé kávy. V prozaickém vyprávění se sen plynule mísí se skutečností a minulost s přítomností; Patti Smith zavádí čtenáře na místa, která drží v nejvyšší úctě: do Casa Azul, modrého domu malířky Fridy Kahlo v Mexiku, do Berlína na setkání obskurního společenství polárníků, do zchátralého domu na Rockaway Beach, který si autorka pořídí těsně před tím, než na východní pobřeží udeří ničivý hurikán Sandy; a k hrobům milovaných autorů, Jeana Geneta, Sylvie Plathové, Artura Rimbauda nebo Jukia Mišimy. Patti Smith v knize vykresluje mozaiku tvůrčích aspirací a inspirací. Textem se proplétají také vzpomínky na její život v Michiganu a autorka se poprvé dělí o bolest spojenou se ztrátou manžela, hudebníka Freda Sonica Smithe. Své putování po krajinách snových i skutečných ilustruje polaroidovými snímky. M Train je meditací o cestování, detektivních seriálech, literatuře a kávě, ale především intimní a hluboce působivou sondou do vnitřního světa jedné z ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Patti Smith: Horses, Paris 1976 is a gorgeous collection of never-before-published photographs of music legend Patti Smith, taken by rock-n-roll photographer Claude Gassian during the release of her iconic album Horses. In 1975, Patti Smith released Horses, a seminal album in punk and rock music history. Lauded by critics, and often cited as the first punk rock album, Horses has influenced artists like U2, Madonna, and R.E.M. Over the following year, she and her band visited Paris multiple times to perform, to accept awards, and to absorb the city’s culture. Gassian beautifully captures this moment in time. As Patti writes, Claude Gassian’s photography is “a glimpse of the highly charged atmosphere of 1976 and the joyful hubris of a rock n’ roll band.” These are previously unpublished images that show a young artist on the cusp of world stardom, and they will be catnip for her fans and for music historians.

Osobitá a dojemná kniha od autorky titulů Just Kids a M Train obsahuje na 365 fotografií a zamyšlení, jež dokládají jedinečnou estetiku Patti Smith. Inspirací pro vznik tohoto díla byl autorčin populární profil na Instagramu. V roce 2018 zveřejnila na této sociální síti první snímek. Pod obrázkem byla krátká zpráva: "Zdravím všechny."

Sledující těmto miniaturním vhledům do autorčina světa ihned propadli, ať už se jednalo o záběry kávy, rozečtených knih, obrázky z hudebních turné, železničních stanic a zapadlých kaváren nebo o náhrobky jejích hrdinů - Williama Blakea, Dylana Thomase, Sylvie Plathové, Simone Weilové či Alberta Camuse. Po nějaké době tak vznikl ucelený příběh o životě zasvěceném umění, který si získal více než milion sledujících.

From Tudor to Stuart: The Regime Change from Elizabeth I to James I tells the story of the troubled accession of England's first Scottish king and the transition from the age of the Tudors to the age of the Stuarts at the dawn of the seventeenth century. From Tudor to Stuart: The Regime Change from Elizabeth I to James I tells the story of the dramatic accession and first decade of the reign of James I and the transition from the Elizabethan to the Jacobean era, using a huge range of sources, from state papers and letters to drama, masques, poetry, and a host of material objects. The Virgin Queen was a hard act to follow for a Scottish newcomer who faced a host of problems in his first years as king: not only the ghost of his predecessor and her legacy but also unrest in Ireland, serious questions about his legitimacy on the English throne, and even plots to remove him (most famously the Gunpowder Plot of 1605).Contrary to traditional assumptions, James's accession was by no means a smooth one. The really important question about James's reign, of course, is the extent of change that occurred in national political ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Patti Smith arrived in New York City at the end of the Age of Aquarius in search of work and purpose. Through her poetry, her songs, her unapologetic vocal power, and her very presence as a woman fronting a rock band, she kicked open a door that countless others walked through. No other musician has better embodied the “nothing-to-hide” rawness of punk, nor has any other done more to nurture a place in society for misfits of every stripe.Why Patti Smith Matters is the first book about the iconic artist written by a woman. The veteran music journalist Caryn Rose contextualizes Smith’s creative work, her influence, and her wide-ranging and still- evolving impact on rock and roll, visual art, and the written word. Rose goes deep into Smith’s oeuvre, from her first album, Horses, to acclaimed memoirs operating at a surprising remove from her music. The portrait of a ceaseless inventor, Why Patti Smith Matters rescues punk’s poet laureate from “strong woman” clichés. Of course Smith is strong. She is also a nuanced thinker. A maker of beautiful and challenging things. A transformative artist who has not simply entertained but also empowered millions.

Patti Eddington always knew she was adopted, and her beloved parents seemed amenable enough to questions - but she never wanted to hurt them by expressing curiosity, so she didn''t. The story of her mother cutting off and dying her hair when she was a toddler? She thought it was eccentric and funny, nothing more. When she discovered at fifteen that her birthday wasn''t actually her birthday? She believed it when her mother said she''d changed it to protect her from the ''nosy old biddies'' who might try to discover her identity. It wasn''t until decades later, when a genealogy test led Patti to her biological family (including an aunt with a shocking story) and the discovery of yet another birthday, that she really began to integrate what she thought she knew about her origins. Determined to know the truth, she finally petitioned a court to unseal records that had been locked up for almost sixty years - and began to put the pieces of her past together, bit by painstaking bit. Framed by a brief but poignant 1963 ''Report of Investigation'' based on a caseworker''s one-day visit to Patti''s childhood home, The Girl With Three Birthdays tells the story ...
