Book Description

This anthology combines some of the finest writing by such well-known writers as Leacock, Moodie, Ernest Thompson Seton and Lucy Maud Montgomery with fascinating pieces by lesser-known names such as George Copway (the first Canadian native writer to have his work published in English) and Lady Agnes Macdonald (the wife of Canada’s first prime minister, and a popular writer of great verve and enthusiasm). In addition to three genres of fiction the anthology includes two important varieties of non-fiction in which early Canadians made a strong and distinctive contribution: Travel and Exploration Narratives and Memoirs and Descriptive Sketches.

Book Description

“MY CRAVINGS, MY THROES” is a matchless and peerless collection of poems of Hilal Ahmad Mir. The book is divided into two sections. It depicts the subjective and objective world of the poet. When we go to the depths of the depthless depths of the book, we come to know that the poet craves for something, but his cravings are not fulfilled. Unfulfillment of the cravings pains the poet wildly and the unfulfillment of the cravings gives rise to throes. The book is the best one. Hilal Ahmad has touched every issue in the book. He believes in humanity. He tells in one of the poems that all human beings are one. They belong to the same parents. Allah has given the same air, water, sky, sun, moon, earth. . . to all. Why do they fight in this fleeting world for nothing? He believes in the fraternity, justice, peace, equality. . . This book is good in every sense. It is not inapt to write here that the book is the Panacea of the ills.

Irene Nowell's lively and thoughtful exploration of these poetic and powerful books promises to ignite appreciation and understanding in the hearts and minds of readers.

The book of Ruth, a masterpiece of storytelling, tells of two valiant women who move from emptiness to fullness, desolation to redemption. Lamentations, telling of the destruction of Jerusalem, recognizes that the Lord has struck and that only the Lord can heal. Ecclesiastes teaches the futility of vanity and storing up riches. The book of Esther tells the story of a Jewish woman and her uncle who, by their courage and wit, deliver the Jews from threatened genocide.

How does the Bible form our worship practices? How does liturgy incorporate the Bible? The Liturgy and Life Study Bible explores these questions and provides answers for today’s church. This indispensable guide includes essays from the world’s top liturgical and biblical scholars on a variety of subjects, including Jewish liturgical traditions, Psalms as liturgical prayer, early church worship, social justice, sacraments, the Last Supper, and more. Throughout the biblical text, brief comments flag passages that contain something of liturgical or personal prayer interest. A correlation chart highlights the intersection between biblical passages and the Catholic liturgy, listing every place where a verse of the Bible appears in any liturgical book: the Missal, the orders of sacramental rites, even the Roman Gradual and the Martyrology. This one-of-a-kind tool will serve researchers, catechists, preachers, and anyone studying the Bible for the purposes of prayer and meditation. Uses the New American Bible, Revised Edition. Cover art by Jan Richardson. Includes eight full color map images.
