Sinopsis

In "William Carey, Shoemaker and Missionary," George Smith intricately weaves the inspiring narrative of William Carey, a humble cobbler turned pioneering missionary whose life transformed the landscape of Christian missions in India. The book employs a biographical style enriched with historical context, exploring Carey's steadfast commitment to linguistic scholarship, social reform, and missionary zeal during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Smith's meticulous attention to detail highlights Carey's innovative translation work and educational contributions, illustrating how his secular background profoundly influenced his spiritual journey and missionary work. George Smith, an accomplished author and historian, is perhaps best known for his own missionary efforts and work with the Baptist Missionary Society. His profound understanding of Christian missions, paired with personal experience in the field, lends authenticity and insight to Carey's story. Smith's scholarly background informs his nuanced portrayal of Carey, emphasizing the socio-political challenges of the era and Carey's unwavering faith in the face of adversity. This book is highly recommended for those interested in missionary history, religious studies, and biographical literature. Readers will find Smith's work not only informs them about William Carey but also inspires them to reflect on the broader implications of missionary work and its impact on societies around the globe.

    Euphemia Lamb was painted and sculpted by many renowned artists during the period before the First World War, such as Augustus John, Henry Lamb, Ambrose McEvoy, Jacob Epstein and James Dickson Innes. She was at the vanguard of modern British art. She was also a literary muse for many leading writers of the period, including Virginia Woolf, Henri-Pierre Roche and Aleister Crowley.
    
    
    Euphemia was the embodiment of the modern woman: sexually liberated, hard-working and ambitious. She used her connections in bohemian London and Paris to educate herself and advance the notion of what a woman could be in early twentieth-century British society. Euphemia was a pioneer who broke down barriers and her legacy survives in art and literature.

    The National Book Award–winning coming-out memoir. “One of the most complex, moral, personal, and political books to have been written about gay life” (LA Weekly). Paul Monette grew up all-American, Catholic, overachieving . . . and closeted. As a child of the 1950s, a time when a kid suspected of being a “homo” would routinely be beaten up, Monette kept his secret throughout his adolescence. He wrestled with his sexuality for the first thirty years of his life, priding himself on his ability to “pass” for straight. The story of his journey to adulthood and to self-acceptance with grace and honesty, this intimate portrait of a young man’s struggle with his own desires is witty, humorous, and deeply felt. Before his death of complications from AIDS in 1995, Monette was an outspoken activist crusading for gay rights. Becoming a Man shows his courageous path to stand up for his own right to love and be loved. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Paul Monette including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the Paul Monette papers of the UCLA Library Special Collections.

    This is a story of a successful businessman, Bruce McEver, the founder of Berkshire Capital and a global pioneer of investment banking, who is devastated by the sudden and unexpected death of his wife of thirty years, a beautiful and talented opera singer who shared that life with him and gave it meaning. The day following her death, Christmas morning, in a barn yard on the farm where he and his wife lived together, Bruce experiences a hierophany-a physical manifestation of the holy and sacred. Unbelieving its veracity, the revealing of his vision to his minister sets Bruce off on a journey spanning the world, Harvard Divinity School, Joseph Campbell lectures, summer poetry workshops, professorships, new loves and loves lost, health crises and new business.Many Paths is heartfelt, honest, unflinching, and charged on every page with humor and grace. It takes an under represented view of traditional autobiography, charting a full and unique life that weaves entrepreneurial, spiritual, intellectual, philanthropic and artistic paths together. In this way, Many Paths follows in the tradition of Augustine's Confessions, J.R. Moehringer's The Tender Bar, and Jack Welch's Jack: Straight from the Gut.
