Summary

Much has been written and reported on the broad canvas of the history of County Wexford over the centuries. Its battles, insurrections, maritime adventurers, political leaders and Princes of the Church have all left an indelible mark on this county located on the South-East corner of Ireland. Also included in this work are those illustrious visitors to the county, many of whom remained, adding their talents to all aspects of urban and rural activities. Many of the principal players in these events have faded into almost anonymity and these profiles will help to revitalize interest and encourage readers, historians and the inquisitive to explore further the involvement in the various aspects of their lives within and without the Model County of Wexford.

    Vincent van Gogh is undoubtedly one of the most influential painters of the end of the 19th century. His style was unique in that he used all types of colors in a painting that didn’t show those colors in reality and somehow, he still made it work and look like an actual shape. Different from other impressionistic artists, he developed his still lifes, his portraits, and other beautiful paintings. 
    An entire museum in Amsterdam is dedicated to the works of Vincent van Gogh. And even though his name is famous now, his life was tough, and he faced many fears, worries, and inner demons. Van Gogh was depressed. According to the narrative, he cut off his own ear, and eventually, he committed suicide at the age of 37. The sad reality that this artist’s success wasn’t evident during his life but only after his death, doesn’t change the fact that he is, nevertheless, a grand success. If only he were alive to see it. 
    Let’s discuss the circumstances under which this Dutch painter lived, and what moved him to go into the direction in which he did.

    Elizabeth Smart follows up her #1 New York Times bestseller, My Story—about being held in captivity as a teenager, and how she managed to survive—with a powerful and inspiring audiobook about what it takes to overcome trauma, find the strength to move on, and reclaim one's life. 
    Author. Activist. Victim—no more. 
    In her fearless memoir, My Story—the basis of the Lifetime Original movie I Am Elizabeth Smart—Elizabeth detailed, for the first time, the horror behind the headlines of her abduction by religious fanatic Brian David Mitchell and his wife, Wanda Barzee. Since then, she's married, become a mother, and traveled the world as the president of the Elizabeth Smart Foundation, sharing her story with the intent of helping others along the way. 
    Over and over, Elizabeth is asked the same question: How do you find the hope to go on? In this audiobook, Elizabeth returns to the horrific experiences she endured, and the hard-won lessons she learned, to provide answers. She also calls upon others who have dealt with adversity—victims of violence, disease, war, and loss—to explore the pathways toward hope.  
    Through conversations with such well-known voices as Anne Romney, Diane Von Furstenburg, and Mandy Patinkin to spiritual leaders Archbishop John C. Wester and Elder Richard Hinckley to her own parents, Elizabeth uncovers an even greater sense of solace and understanding. Where There's Hope is the result of Elizabeth's mission: It is both an up-close-and-personal glimpse into her healing process and a heartfelt how-to guide for readers to make peace with the past and embrace the future.

    When American writer Stephanie Saldaña finds herself in an empty house at the beginning of Nablus Road, the dividing line between East and West Jerusalem, she is a new wife trying to navigate a fragile terrain, both within her marriage and throughout the country in which she has chosen to live. Pregnant with her first child, Stephanie struggles to protect her family, their faith, and herself from the cracks of Middle Eastern conflict that threaten to shatter the world around her. But as her due date approaches, she must reconcile herself with her choice to bring a child into a dangerous world. Determined to piece together life from the brokenness, she sets out to uncover small instances of beauty to balance the delicate coexistence between love, motherhood, and a country so often at war. In an urban valley in Jerusalem, A Country Between captures the fragile ecosystem of the Middle East and the difficult first years of motherhood in the midst of a conflict-torn city. What unfolds is a celebration of faith, language, family, and love that fills the space between what was shattered, leaving us whole once more.

    When God calls us to some small act of faith—maybe encouraging a stranger or opening up our home—we may never know the consequences if we disobey. But when we do obey, God can do amazing things. In this book, Marlene picks up where she left off in Making Faith Great Again. When her husband passed away after sixty years of fruitful ministry, God promised her that the best was yet to come. By believing His promise and obeying His promptings, she soon found herself mentoring up to thirty people each week in her condo on the 42nd floor of the Bellevue Towers. This book is filled with just some of their stories, including: •,A life-long Christian who allowed early success to distract him from what really mattered, costing him his marriage. •,A lapsed Mormon who discovered that following God is about a relationship, not rules.•,An immigrant who tried to fill his need for God with drugs and then with money, but found freedom from karma through grace.•,A self-proclaimed “lone wolf” who found community in the middle of the COVID-19 shutdown. These stories will inspire your faith and encourage you to obey God in your everyday life…because you never know what miracles He may have just around the corner!
