Beowulf - An Anglo-Saxon Epic...

Frances Gummere (Translator)

"Beowulf", a sprawling, fantastical tale of bravery, heroism, and Anglo-Saxon heraldry, is the most celebrated epic poem in the English language.  The story of the great Geatish fighter Beowulf, who comes to the aid of the beleagued Hrothgar and his men, this poem relates three epic battles: Beowulf's fight with the monster Grendel, his face-off with Grendel's vengeful mother and, after serving as King for 50 years, Beowulf's fateful clash with a fire-breathing dragon.  Francis B. Gummere's translation of this ancient text has been hailed for over a century and is here brought back to life with a summary of the poem by the English scholar Dr. J.L. Hall.

Sweet Words of Life (Christian...

Fimalia McNoll

I traveled the dirt road with no water in sight. 
My lips parched and dry from the burning sun. 
My feet cracked and rough, cut with sharp stones. 
I had traveled this road many times. 
I knew the trail, yet somehow this time 
it seemed unfamiliar; 
All around was desolation, bareness, and emptiness. 
I was tired of the heat; I cried out to God 
"Father please come rescue me." 
He said, "I am right here." 
He was just waiting for me to ask for help. 
He gave me water for my thirst, 
Food for my hungry soul, and he walked on with me. 
I trust him more now, 
I know I will never pass this way again.

Word Petals

Carla L Ibanzo

Disappointment, hope, struggle, love, failure and resilience are every day themes that occupy our thoughts and constitute our inner monologue.  In this book, the writer takes you on a journey of self-reflection. It invites each of us to pause and reflect on the beauty,  simplicity and complexity of life.  To reconnect with ourselves and nature.  And to rediscover ties and pure feelings with our families, friends, and the world around us... "The water gliding forming ripples on the lake. Above the cloud, blue skies,  pure air... You are you... time to get happy,  smile and laugh again. "...  And " silence, alone with my thoughts again, inviting and familiar, like communing with an old friend... "
