The Little Minister (Annotated)

J. M. Barrie

Sinossi

This edition includes the following editor's introduction: The traumatic life of J. M. Barrie, source of universal creativity 


First published in 1891, “The Little Minister” is a popular sentimental novel written by Scottish novelist and playwright J. M. Barrie, best remembered as the creator of Peter Pan. "The Little Minister" was made for the stage in 1897 and, due to its great success, has been adapted for the cinema on several occasions.

"The Little Minister" is not a children's book, but a reflection on life in a remote Scottish village. The story is set in Thrums, a Scottish weaving village based on Barrie’s birthplace, to which Gavin Dishart, an impoverished young minister, and his mother have moved. The minister must earn the respect of the villagers, threading his way through class differences, politics and suspicion of the travelling gypsies. But what would happen if the newly respectable minister of Thrums fell in love with a gypsy woman? And how will her secret impact upon them all?

Let It Go - A Conversation with...

Crina Okumus

It is so noisy outside. Every day, new voices tell you how to live, what to fix, and how to do better. A new book promises to teach you the next solution almost every week. But this is not that kind of book. 
Let It Go is not a manual. It is a reminder, a mirror that shows you your most important resources are already inside you. It is a gentle call to return home to yourself. 
For years, author Crina Okumus believed success meant running faster, working harder, and chasing money. She built businesses, achieved much, and yet felt empty until the moment everything stopped. In silence, she asked: Who am I really, and how can I truly help? 
During meditation, with only a notebook and a pen, she surrendered, and the words came. For three months she wrote without stopping. What poured out became this book: a record of her journey through fear, darkness, and doubt, and her awakening into a deeper truth. 
The book is divided into two parts: 
•⁠  ⁠A raw and intimate conversation with God, flowing from the deepest places of the heart. 
•⁠  ⁠Practical, soul-guiding chapters drawn from Crina’s path, steps that helped her remember her hidden superpower and the magic within. 
Inside you will discover: 
•⁠  ⁠The fall that wakes you, and how fear can become your teacher. 
•⁠  ⁠How to embrace your inner beauty and feminine power. 
•⁠  ⁠The courage to listen deeply to your soul, life, and God. 
•⁠  ⁠Money as a mirror, one of our most excellent teachers. 
•⁠  ⁠Why the right tools only find you when you are truly ready. 
•⁠  ⁠And, most of all, that beyond every storm there is only love and the Source. 
At the end, Crina offers guiding questions to help you integrate the journey into your own life, so this book becomes her story and yours. 
Let It Go is not here to teach you how to become someone else. It is here to remind you of who you are.

Beyond Newton: Explore the...

Chuck Missler

How can a star, distant from us, gravitationally affect our sun? Where is the missing 95 percent of matter in the universe? Do dark matter and even black holes really exist? Astronomers explain their views relying on the 17th- and 18th-century tools of their forefathers, Kepler and Newton: gravity, fluid mechanics, and the magnetism of loadstone, rather than those of the 19th century - James Clerk Maxwell and electromagnetic field theory. Beyond Newton explores the challenges to current astronomy by scientists who have discovered that the entire volume of our galaxy is filled with diffuse clouds of magnetized plasma - electrically charged ionized particles.

A Carpenter Called Joseph

Kenneth Winter

Joseph was an unlikely choice to be the earthly father of Jesus. There was nothing about him on the surface that would have prompted any of us to consider him worthy. And yet, no other man in history has been charged with the tremendous responsibility he was given.     He wasn’t randomly chosen by God. He wasn’t chosen simply because he and Mary were engaged to be married. He was, most definitely, not an after-thought or a footnote. He and Mary were betrothed because God had chosen them both and ordered their steps accordingly … from before the beginning of time.     God had been at work in Joseph’s life long before he ever knew the events that would unfold in his life. God carefully molded and shaped Joseph into the man to whom He could entrust this special assignment. Through this novella, you’ll discover the heart and character of the carpenter God called to raise His Son.
