So where do you start if you’d like a thoughtful introduction to romantic relationships? I believe Elisabeth Elliot’s Passion and Purity: Learning to Bring Your Love Life Under Christ’s Controlis an excellent starting point for both singles and dating/courting couples desiring to, as the subtitle says, bring their love lives under Christ’s control. Most of us don’t have the time, money, or desire to wade through a stack or relational/purity books looking for a few diamonds in the rough. All rights reserved.īecause there are so many relational/purity books in print, I think it’s easy for Christian singles desiring a Biblical world view regarding romance and purity to feel at a loss of where to even start reading. ![]() 7/7/2023 0 Comments Coming Home by Alexa Land![]() ![]() ![]() You'll see someone turn a page and you can imagine a puff of page powder coming up real slow and easy until it starts piling on a person's eyelashes, weighing their eyes down so much they stay down a little longer after each blink and finally making them so heavy that they just don't come back up at all.

Then I could sniff the the paper, that soft, powdery, drowsy smell that comes off the page in little puffs when you're reading something or looking at some pictures, kind of hypnotizing smell. ![]() Then there was the the smell of the cloth that covered the brand-new books, books that made a splitting sound when you opened them. I got a whiff of the leather on all the old books, a smell that got real strong if you picked one of them up and stuck your nose real close to it when you turned the pages. “As soon as I got into the library I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. ![]() 7/7/2023 0 Comments The river is wide pat conroy![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The stories he told about the world outside of their island may have seemed like fairy tales to these children who had never ventured off the island. For a year they met in the tiny wood framed schoolhouse where they were mesmerized by the youthful Pat Conroy as he attempted to open up the world to them. Pat recognized that these isolated black children were terribly underserved by our society. ![]() This page is our attempt to answer that so often asked question about his students. Pat Conroy and students on Daufuskie Island Pat had a lifelong respect for teachers and his most important mentors were the teachers who saw something in him as a boy and encouraged him to write. Toward the end of his life he said that The Water is Wide was the favorite of all his books as it was the book that shaped him, not only as a teacher, as a writer, but we believe as a citizen. If you arrived at this page you’ve certainly read Pat Conroy’s book or perhaps heard him speak about his students. Many of you asked what eventually happened to the students Pat Conroy taught on Daufuskie Island, later named Yamacraw in the book and movie.

The poetry is powerful and quite effective in communicating the behind the scenes emotions as well as capturing the senses-especially the sights and sounds of battle camps and war. (Not, I'll die without his love desperate.) Meet Arthur, Elaine, Gwynivere, Lancelot, Tristan, and Gawain in this new telling of love and war. While the literary tradition has her as beautiful but essentially weak and desperate, Sandell's Elaine is strong, brave, and while she, for a time, is lovesick on Lancelot, she is not too desperate or clingy.
