Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For fans of the hugely popular Downton Abbey television series and lovers of British historical sagas, award-winning author Murray Pura continues the enthralling story of the Danforths of Lancashire. The second book in the series (following Ashton Park) transports the reader back in time to 1924 as Sir William—recently named Lord Preston—celebrates his sixtieth birthday at the Danforth summer home in Dover. Although the ravages of World War I are in the past, new threats loom as a man named Adoph Hitler publishes a book called Mein Kampf. Is he a danger to Europe? And what of Lord Preston’s growing friendship with an up and coming political leader named Winston Churchill? On the home front, one of the Danforth daughters, the recently widowed Catherine, sells her home in Belfast to spend more time at Dover—where she finds herself annoyed at the impertinent German theologian her father has befriended. The entire Danforth family faces many changes as illness and tragedy strike. Young Edward finally makes his move into the political arena while Michael and Libby welcome a new family member. Readers will be captivated by the upstairs/downstairs interplay as they once again savor this compelling saga of the well-loved Danforth family overcoming obstacles by placing their trust in the God who has always been faithful. Book 2 in The Danforths of Lancashire series
Download or read book By the Rivers of Water written by Erskine Clarke and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2013-10-08 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In early November 1834, an aristocratic young couple from Savannah and South Carolina sailed from New York and began a strange seventeen year odyssey in West Africa. Leighton and Jane Wilson sailed along what was for them an exotic coastline, visited cities and villages, and sometimes ventured up great rivers and followed ancient paths. Along the way they encountered not only many diverse landscapes, peoples, and cultures, but also many individuals on their own odysseys -- including Paul Sansay, a former slave from Savannah; Mworeh Mah, a brilliant Grebo leader, and his beautiful daughter, Mary Clealand, at Cape Palmas; and King Glass and the wise and humorous Toko in Gabon. Leighton and Jane Wilson had freed their inherited slaves, and were to become the most influential American missionaries in West Africa during the first half of the nineteenth century. While Jane established schools, Leighton fought the international slave trade and the imperialism of colonization. He translated portions of the Bible into Grebo and Mpongwe and thereby helped to lay the foundation for the emergence of an indigenous African Christianity. The Wilsons returned to New York because of ill health, but their odyssey was not over. Living in the booming American metropolis, the Wilsons welcomed into their handsome home visitors from around the world as they worked for the rapidly expanding Protestant mission movement. As the Civil War approached, however, they heard the siren voice of their Southern homeland calling from deep within their memories. They sought to resist its seductions, but the call became more insistent and, finally, irresistible. In spite of their years of fighting slavery, they gave themselves to a history and a people committed to maintaining slavery and its deep oppression -- both an act of deep love for a place and people, and the desertion of a moral vision. A sweeping transatlantic story of good intentions and bitter consequences, By the Rivers of Water reveals two distant worlds linked by deep faiths.
Download or read book Uder the African Sky written by Donald Adamu and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-08-11 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just like the title of the book 'Under The African Sky, ' this book is a collection of stories to help promote some African culture to the outside world. The society we are currently living in is filled with many wicked, disobedient, disrespectful, corrupt, rude, proud and greedy people. I believe in the saying "charity begins at home." Most of the character which people demonstrate outside of their homes is the result of what they have learned from their homes as they were growing up. Being raised in an environment that is lacking in love, kindness, and in the caring for others and the world that surrounds them, young impressionable minds are often corrupted in their reasoning and doings as they mature into adults. I believe if children can acquire a good upbringing from their homes it will go a long way toward cleansing our societies, our world and environments of these problems. A balanced society in which love, kindness and the sharing of abundance is always demonstrated will encourage the development of a kind, considerate and thoughtful character in the individual, (Story-One). It is of great benefit for our younger ones to listen to their parents' and elders' advice and teachings as they mature so that they will succeed in life, (Story-two). It is also a great benefit for the younger ones to know that they will only be able to succeed in life if they read, study very hard, and diligently apply themselves in acquiring a good education in school rather than depending upon any form of cheating and malpractice in the pursuit of education, knowledge and wisdom, (Story-three). Vainglorious pride destroys character worse than anything else can. A proud person will never learn from his or her mistakes in life. Overarching pride and vanity ruins a person, (Story-four). It is also important to know that the combination of strength and wisdom work together better than independently of each other. If you depend solely on strength alone without wisdom you might end up doing foolish things in life, (Story-five). Learn to trust and believe in God for assistance. Whatever you are doing, make sure you do it well so that God and the people in the society will honor you, (Story-six). The book also contains questions at the end of each story to refresh the readers' mind back to what he/she has read. In this way the reader will learn correctly how to better comprehend what was read and answer questions in English language. Dictionary work is also included to enhance smooth reading and comprehension. Aside from the lessons this book provides for our younger generation, it will also help to enlighten and bring them up into the fascinating and wonderful world of literature - what it takes to think, read and write. This book is not only for entertainment purpose. It is also targeted at teaching young ones good moral and ethical behavior in their society. Adamu Donald
Download or read book African Sky written by Tony Park and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2012-07-31 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rhodesia, 1943. The body of parachute instructor and local celebrity, Felicity Langham, has been found brutally raped and murdered. The police have arrested the most obvious suspect, a black man named Innocent. But it turns out, he is. WPC Pip Lovejoy is convinced that there's more to this case than meets the eye, and is determined to obtain justice for the murdered woman. Paul Bryant, the Squadron Leader responsible for training RAF pilots, needs to find out why three aircraft have crashed in as many weeks. One of the pilots has been discovered killed by poisoned arrows, but there is no sign of his plane. When Pip and Bryant's investigations collide, a much more serious crime becomes apparent. The man behind it, Reitz, believes that if Hitler can cull the Jews, he can cull the blacks. Reitz and his team have discovered a poison so deadly that a single drop of it can kill a man in less than a minute. Their plan is to detonate this poison bomb during an RAF passing out parade, killing a thousand pilots. This in turn would likely lead to civil war in South Africa. Reitz's aim is to create an independent Afrikaner-controlled South Africa, and he doesn't care what lengths he has to go to achieve it.
