![]() ![]() This REALLY is one of the best series there is. □ My Isaac and my David were a delight, and Aaron and Jen were lovely. Deacon Stoltzfus was just as terrifying to listen to as he was to read about. ![]() John's narration of the whole series has been really good, although I do wonder why he over-emphasises some words I have to can be quite irritating. ***Audio Review*** Decent finish to the series. I don't understand why this narrator was chosen, especially since this, her most popular or one of her most popular, series took so very long to be released in audio. His weird pauses, off-putting emphasises, and just generally overdramatic presentation made that unlikely. Audio: I had the highest of hopes that this series would be one that I'd re-listen to over and over, but John Solo is an irritating narrator. I love that they always find their strength in their love of each other. The problems they face are reasonable for people being introduced to a world they've lived alongside their whole lives without ever being part of. It's impossible not to fall in love with David and Isaac, they manage to be the best people while still having depth. It manages to be honest about the Amish lifestyle without being judgmental. I've re-read it many times, and loved it more each time. ![]() I read this series when it was first released and fell in love with it completely. ![]()

Later, PF Volland, a Gruelle book publisher, made the dolls. ![]() Raggedy Ann dolls were originally handmade. Gruelle became an opponent of vaccination, and the Raggedy Ann doll was used as a symbol by the anti-vaccination movement. ![]() Authorities blamed a heart defect, but her parents blamed the vaccination. Marcella died at age 13, shortly after being vaccinated at school for smallpox without her parents' consent. From his bookshelf, he pulled a book of poems by James Whitcomb Riley, and combined the names of two poems, "The Raggedy Man" and "Little Orphant Annie." He said, "Why don't we call her Raggedy Ann?" Gruelle created Raggedy Ann for his daughter, Marcella, when she brought him an old hand-made rag doll and he drew a face on it. ![]() ![]() Leo Bonhart, the man who chased, wounded, and tortured Ciri, is still on her trail.

Trapped in a world ruled by the Elves, separated from Geralt and her destiny, Ciri will need all her training as a fighter and sorceress to survive in the fifth novel of the Witcher, Andrzej Sapkowski’s groundbreaking epic fantasy series that inspired the hit Netflix show and the blockbuster video games.Īfter walking through the portal in the Tower of Swallows and narrowly escaping death, Ciri finds herself in a completely different world. ![]() ![]() Her work, though always rooted in people, remains in conversation with the broader issues of its time. ![]() Sappho’s women touch, taste, and see the world, and are touched in return, a radical assertion in an increasingly patriarchal Greek world, a world where wives were cloistered in the home like property.īeyond romance and sensuality, Sappho's work touches on religion, aristocratic lifestyle, aging, and the passage of time. ![]() ![]() Fragments 94 and 96 effortlessly bridge absolute loss and intense, immediate joy. “Fragment 31,” perhaps her most famous poem, describes an experience of romantic transcendence and bodily disintegration so abstract that it might feel modern were it not so distinctly hers. Nevertheless, it is impossible to read Sappho and remain unmoved by the stark passions of her work. Later scholars butchered her words in attempts to heterosexualize the writing and the life of one of history’s greatest poets. They accused her of promiscuity, named her death a suicide, and alleged that her poetry was an embellished emptiness, not worth reading. Classical scholars speculated about her lovers, her work, her faith. Along with her few surviving words, we know Sappho through a rich legacy of praise, conjecture, gossip, and legend. ![]() Of the nine volumes of her poetry that once sat in the library of Alexandria, only two full poems, and a few hundred fragments, remain. Sappho was a Grecian singer who performed more than 2,500 years ago. ![]() ![]() ![]() To make his point, Coelho tells a tale about a young shepherd boy named Santiago who leaves his herd of sheep in search of buried treasure in a faraway land. “To realize one’s Personal Legend is a person’s only real obligation.” 1 The plot of The Alchemist revolves around chasing your dreams or life’s purpose which Coelho refers to as your ‘Personal Legend’. However, it was not until I did some research on the author, Pablo Coelho, that it all fascinatingly came together for me! I will get to that a little later, but first, let’s discuss some of the lessons from The Alchemist.īefore I get into the 9 lessons from The Alchemist, let’s briefly discuss the premise of the book which is… Pursuing Your Personal Legend It is a book I have read several times, and each time I read it I take away new life lessons!

Packer explains: “New Testament references to the blood of Christ are regularly sacrificial (e.g., Rom 3:25 5:9 Eph 1:7 Rev 1:5). As the old song goes, “He paid a debt he did not owe, because we owed a debt we could not pay.” The New Testament speaks of Christ’s saving work in this way frequently. ![]() Redemption ( apolutrósis) refers supremely to the work of Christ on our behalf, whereby he purchases and ransoms us-at the price of his own life-securing our deliverance from the bondage and condemnation of sin. It is the overarching rubric for studying the doctrine of salvation, as in John Murray’s famous book: Redemption Accomplished and Applied (Grand Rapids: Eerdmans). The significance of the term is seen in that it serves as the overarching category for the whole saving work of God: redemptive history. Redemption is an important soteriological term and concept for Christians. ![]() ![]() ![]() A graduate of the Fashion Institute of Technology, where he studied advertising and communications, he has contributed to Vogue, Elle, Harper's Bazaar, Talk, InStyle, Essence, O:The Oprah Magazine, and Esquire magazines, among others.
