Paths of Peace:1 Year Devotional: A Weekly Devotional Walk with God through the Year
Beryl Adamsbaum Manufacturer: Crusade for World Revival ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 1853454230 |
Book Description
Beautifully presented in hardback, this one-year devotional is divided into 52 meditations. The book enables thoughtful but busy people to engage in serious but leisurely reflection on each week's theme. You are helped and encouraged to walk with God every day of each week, thanks to the meditations, Bible verses, poems and prayers.
The weeks of the year are divided into the four seasons, with a short introduction to each season's walks. The themes are clearly stated so as to enable you to dip into sections relevant to your situation. Many of the themes overlap to present the Christian life in it fullness rather than treat each theme as a compartmentalised entity in its own right. If we are followers of Jesus, then we will live for him and try to please him wherever we are and whatever we may be doing.

The Crying Rocks
Janet Taylor Lisle Manufacturer: Simon & Schuster Ltd ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0689860447 |
Book Description
About Joelle's life before she was found -- brought in from the railway depot, a scrawny five-year-old child -- there isn't a lot known for sure."And don't ask me! I can't remember anything," she snaps at anyone who pries, including the weird kid named Carlos who sits in the back row in Spanish class. But when Carlos, collector of arrowheads and Native American lore, tells her she looks like a girl in an old painting of Rhode Island's Narragansett Indians, Joelle can't help sneaking a look. She's surprised by a flicker of recognition.
It's Carlos who leads her through the forest to the ancient Crying Rocks, where howls on windy days are thought to be the spirit voices of children long ago, flung from the boulders to early death. The terrible story draws Joelle into the downdraft of her own memory, to a window, a shadowy mother, a freight train escape from Chicago. It also leads her toward the history of a lost American people, and the discovery of a rare kind of courage that runs deep in her family.

Richie's Picks: THE CRYING ROCKS.......2003-11-05
"One little, two little, three little Indians
Four little, five little, six little Indians
Seven little, eight little, nine little Indians
Ten little Indian boys."
I was a little kid on Long Island back in an era when in circle time songs you'd as easily count ten little Indians as you would count six little ducks or ten green and speckled frogs.
A few years further on, in the mid 1960s, I chose "The Indian Tribes of Paumanok" (a Native American name for Long Island) as the topic for a social studies report. And while this raised my 10 year-old state of consciousness a few notches, I still had a heck of a time envisioning the booming suburbs where I lived as having been a vast woodland sheltering those peoples.
In contrast, thirteen year old Joelle, the main character in THE CRYING ROCKS, has such an ability and inclination. In fact, she can sometimes imagine someone from the distant past following her. Joelle, who was adopted at five by "Aunt" Mary Louise and "Uncle" Vernon, has that hunger to know about her own roots. In sharp contrast to her "heavy and earthbound" adoptive parents, Joelle is such a tall and striking seventh grader that a group of little neighborhood girls worships her from a distance, imagines her to be royalty, and emulates her style. But it is clear to the reader that something awful must have happened to Joelle as a young child, since she cannot remember the mysterious and unspoken circumstances in which she came to be discovered at the railroad depot of the northwestern Rhode Island community where she has since lived.
" 'Back in the woods there's a place where they used to meet. A high council place. There are trails, too. You can tell they're old Indian paths because of how deep they're worn down. It would take hundreds of years of feet to wear down a path like that.'
" 'Hundreds of years of feet?' she says. 'Give me a break.'
" 'A thousand years, even. Some artifacts are that old and more. What's amazing is how their culture got wiped out when the white man came. Fifty years after the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock, the Narragansetts were all gone, thirty or forty-thousand people who lived right around here.'
" 'What happened?' Joelle asked in spite of herself.
" Carlos stares at her. 'Disease, first, then they were killed off. The last few were sold into slavery down in the West Indies. It's one of those histories people don't like to remember.'
" 'But you do?'
" 'I'm part Indian.'
" 'Really?'
"Carlos stands up straighter and looks at her defiantly, as if she might have a problem with this. She registers again his gray eyes, his brown hair, his long thin face. " 'You don't look--'
" 'Just a small part,' Carlos says quickly. 'Like about one sixteenth or something.' "
The innocent and tentative relationship that develops between Carlos and Joelle--that of close friends whom the reader imagines/hopes will later become boyfriend and girlfriend--is impeccably drawn. Sometimes as if a pair of bumper cars, sometimes utterly in tune, the connection between these two kids who are finding themselves winds its way through the tension of the story to an absolutely fun and joyous scene where the two are dueling each other with quotes from their research.
THE CRYING ROCKS asks hard questions about the values and behavior of the Europeans who came to America as well as that of the Narragansetts who were there when the ships arrived. The author skillfully ties these questions to treatment of arguably "less fortunate" groups in twenty-first century society. Janet Taylor Lisle has an ability for crafting a story that is taut and powerful while maintaining the limits which allow for this story to be used in middle school classrooms. THE CRYING ROCKS will find a home in those classrooms and is a tale that will surely have readers thinking and asking about their own roots.

Child Crying Rock: Because The Blood Remembers
Debra A. Chase Manufacturer: Writers Club Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 189365205X |
Book Description
It began with Thomas II who remembered.And remembering, he saw through other eyes, many other eyes. Some young, some old. Always male. Always they were of the forest, of the people. He remembered back to Phillip, King Phillip, and neither questioned nor worried why he knew what he did. It was simply a matter of blood. His blood knew that of Phillip.
Sara Walker remembers too, but not as much as her father, Thomas II had. In her the old blood had curled in upon itself and what self preservation had blocked from her memory had also locked her outside of aging, forcing her to watch those she loves age and die, leaving her to go on alone. Concealing this curse has drawn her back to where it began, because someone has threatened to draw the wrong attention to the farms and through those, to her.
Intending only to get close enough to stop him, Sara instead lands practically in his lap, to find the color of Michael Renault's skin bringing bits of the past alive. Making her recognize the same unexpected beauty that had destroyed Simeon.
Caught up in her excuse for being there, she finds her own ghosts grinning back at her and the dark blood coming alive. Old blood and Michael's dark beauty are opening the floodgates of her memory and the choice that drove so many of her line to madness is now hers to make. She can choose safety, half-life... or she can bring the past alive again and choose the blood, skin and heart that can begin to heal them all.
