"What doest thou want of me?" asked the Rabbi of him, "tell me quickly, in what I can render thee a service; for thou seemest to stand in need of it." "Yes, Rabbi," replied the stranger earnestly, "that Ido; and still I find it difficult to express myself freely of my affairs." "Be it what it may, that lies heavily on thy heart, God will give me strength that I may afford thee help and consolation." "Listen then, Rabbi," said the unknown. "I am a countryman of Judaea; God has amply blessed me with worldly goods; he gave me fields and vineyards, oxen and sheep in abundance; he also granted me a wife and two children." "Andthou hast cause to complain?" eagerly interrupted him the Rabbi. "And two children," repeated the man after a somewhat long and distressing pause; "but of one of them, my son, has become rebellious to me, he is a disobedient son, he it is who has changed for me all the sweet gifts which Heaven has bestowed on me, into naught but wormwood." "What is the guilt of thy son?" inquired Jochanan. "Has he proved himself ungrateful towards thee? has he raised his hand against thee?" "He has dug my grave," answered the stranger, gloomily. "I loved him in a manner God demands it from parents. I bestowed on him every care from his first infancy.

Faithwalking In Our Time is a candid autobiographical account of my battle with human injustice. My book begins with an old friend, now known as Deacon Jim, meeting me in an unlikely location--Grafton Correctional--during the summer of l993. From there I provide my account of the events that brought me unjustly into prison. I recount the difficulties with an adopted son, including his eventual accusation of sexual abuse. I attempt to take the reader through the maze of social work froth with racial prejudice, and mental stereotyping. Also included is a background of my life leading up to the criminal charges, along with my courtship and marriage to Diane and the birth of our children. Faithwalking In Our Time seeks to raise awareness of the injustices I encountered which permeate both the social justice system and religious minded individuals. Utilization of detailed descriptions and characterizations enhance the presentation of those themes. The primary theme is, through this desert walk full of horrible experiences and overwhelming odds, I gradually discovered I was traveling this road with God at my side.

Alex Issacson's life has never been normal. His mother got into bed the day his father left, and never got back out again. Hugely over-weight, she is known to the viewing public as Starbright the phone-in-psychic. Although she spends her time consulting the stars and offering advice to others, she won't answer the questions that consume Alex. Why did his father leave, and where is he now? So Alex has turned his search to the internet. When he starts receiving strange emails riddled with bad puns, Alex thinks he might be on the right track -- but what on earth do they mean? More clues come when a "saxophone incident" leads Alex on a dangerous cross-country adventure. After dodging the barrel of a hermit's shotgun, hooking up with a band on tour, and hitching a ride with a weak-bladdered truck driver, Alex may have found out more than he ever wanted to know. And the truth may just leave him seeing stars.

As spare and elegant as her highly praised short novels Light and Waking , Eva Figes's Ghosts captures the experience of aging. In prose that seems to measure the very beat of passing time, we follow her heroine, an unnamed woman, through four seasons of a single year and watch her come to terms with her former lover, her grown children, and, finally, the ghostly self that she is slowly becoming. She moves through streets that have changed their contours, landscapes in constant flux, in a body slowly turning into her mother's.As her character poignantly lets go of possessions, memories, and all that she holds dear, Figes turns the ordinary occurrences of daily life – eating breakfast, having tea, weeding a garden – into luminous events through the clarity and beauty of her writing.

Throughout history the heritage of faith has been conveyed within the family and the congregation. In the New Covenant, the primary expression of spiritual life is the congregation, under godly elders, teaching, exhortation, and discipline. However, the first institution in the Bible is the family and only the family can raise children with an adequate appreciation of our faith and heritage. This guide exists to help families learn how to pass on the heritage of spiritual Messianic Jewish life. It is not an exhaustive or fully adequate guide, but is one that each family should complement with their own creativity.

Horrified by the results of a survey on drug abuse in London Schools, which reported that more and more children are experimenting with illegal drugs and other addictive substances and are doing so at an astonishing young age, the author describes what happens to the body when addictive substances are used - from smoking and use of solvents to drinking alcohol and taking drugs.

During World War II, Honor Carmichael and her two young children are uprooted to Linfield, to join Honor's husband Colin, a dapper, small-town doctor stationed at the military hospital. She is visited by her sister Claudia, whose fiance, Andrew, waits to be invalided out of the Army. Whilst Andrew dismisses himself as 'damaged goods', Colin becomes absorbed by the petty feuds and power games of uniformed life - most particularly with the arrival of Captain Herriot, a commando, and the C.O.'s current favourite. Apparently peripheral to this 'male pirouetting' Honor and Claudia are nevertheless deeply affected by this war - for its threat to notions of masculinity forces both women to reassess the roles they're always played. First published in 1945, this exploration of the crushing psychological effects of war was described by Stevie Smith as a sensitively and beautifully told story ... perfectly drawn. This edition carries a new foreword by Sir Jonathan Miller C.B.E., the author's son

A delightful story about ice cream and the importance of always telling the truth. Miss Patricia Higgins's painting holiday in Italy isn't going according to plan. She'd hoped to paint many outdoor scenes in the picturesque fishing village but as soon as her easel is set up, the local children gather around asking her to paint their portraits. Hoping to avoid the crowds, Miss Higgins goes out very early one morning. This time she encounters only one child, Arturo 'Sardines' Camuffo, who says, rather surprisingly, that he doesn't want a portrait of himself. He'd rather Miss Higgins painted a picture of his friend, the bronze angel sitting atop the church spire. How does the son of a poor local fisherman become friends with a huge statue of an angel? For the price of three ice cream cones, Miss Higgins is about to find out. First published by Oxford University Press in 1967, Sardines and the Angel is the third in a series of vintage illustrated Bettina Ehrlich children's books, proudly reproduced by For Pity Sake Publishing. This book is preceded by Francesco and Francesca (2018) and The Goat Boy (2019).

Heather and Mack McKay seem to have it all: wealth, a dream house in the suburbs, and two adorable children along with the nannies to raise them. But their marriage has lost its savor: she is a frustrated writer and he longs for a cultural trophy to hang on his belt. During a chance encounter in LA, Mack invites exiled writer Zoltan Barbu—once lionized as a political hero, now becoming a has-been—to live with him and his wife in their luxurious home. The plan should provide Heather with literary companionship, Mack with cultural cachet, and Zoltan himself with a pastoral environment in which to overcome his writer’s block and produce a masterpiece. Of course, as happens with triangles, complications arise—some hilarious, some sad—as the three players pursue a game that leads to shifting alliances and sexual misadventures. Shulman pokes fun at our modern malaise (why is having it all never enough?), even as she traces the ever-changing dynamics within a marriage. Ménage is a bravura performance from one of America’s most renowned feminist writers.
