Tisha: The Wonderful True Love Story of a Young Teacher in the Alaskan Wilderness

1984

by Robert Specht

Tisha is the beloved real-life story of a woman in the Alaskan wilderness, the children she taught, and the man she loved.

“From the time I’d been a girl, I’d been thrilled with the idea of living on a frontier. So when I was offered the job of teaching school in a gold-mining settlement called Chicken, I accepted right away.”

Anne Hobbs was only nineteen in 1927 when she came to the harsh and beautiful Alaska. Running a ramshackle schoolhouse would expose her to more than just the elements. After she allowed Native American children into her class and fell in love with a half-Inuit man, she would learn the meanings of prejudice and perseverance, irrational hatred and unconditional love.

“People get as mean as the weather,” she discovered, but they were also capable of great good. As told to Robert Specht, Anne Hobbs’s true story has captivated generations of readers.

Essays and Lectures

Essays and Lectures by Ralph Waldo Emerson covers the most productive period of his life, 1832–1860. Emerson, known as America's eloquent champion of individualism, acknowledges the countervailing pressures of society in American life. As he extols what he called “the great and crescive self,” he also dramatizes and records its vicissitudes.

This volume includes indispensable and renowned works such as “The American Scholar” - our intellectual Declaration of Independence, “The Divinity School Address”, considered atheistic by many of his listeners, and the summons to “Self-Reliance”. More embattled realizations appear in “Circles” and “Experience”. Emerson also offers wide-ranging portraits of Montaigne, Shakespeare, and other “representative men,” along with astute observations on the habits, lives, and prospects of the English and American people.

This collection includes Nature; Addresses, and Lectures (1849), Essays: First Series (1841), and Essays: Second Series (1844), plus Representative Men (1850), English Traits (1856), and The Conduct of Life (1860). These works established Emerson’s colossal reputation in America and earned him admirers abroad, including Carlyle, Nietzsche, and Proust.

Emerson’s enduring power is felt throughout American literature: in those like Whitman and major twentieth-century poets who seek to corroborate his vision, and among those like Hawthorne and Melville who questioned, qualified, and struggled with it. His vision reverberates in American philosophy, notably in the writings of William James and John Dewey, and in the works of his European admirers.

Follow the exhilarating, exploratory movements of Emerson's mind in this comprehensive gathering of his work. This volume is not merely another selection of essays; it includes all his major books, conveying the exhilaration and exploratory energy of perhaps America's greatest writer.

Frida: A Biography of Frida Kahlo

1983

by Hayden Herrera

Hailed by readers and critics across the country, this engrossing biography of Mexican painter Frida Kahlo reveals a woman of extreme magnetism and originality. An artist whose sensual vibrancy came straight from her own experiences: her childhood near Mexico City during the Mexican Revolution; a devastating accident at age eighteen that left her crippled and unable to bear children; her tempestuous marriage to muralist Diego Rivera and intermittent love affairs with men as diverse as Isamu Noguchi and Leon Trotsky; her association with the Communist Party; her absorption in Mexican folklore and culture; and her dramatic love of spectacle.

Here is the tumultuous life of an extraordinary twentieth-century woman — with illustrations as rich and haunting as her legend.

Through Gates of Splendor

In 1956, five young men, including Elliot's husband, Jim, traveled into the jungles of Ecuador to establish communication with the fierce Huaorani Tribe, a people whose only previous response to the outside world had been to attack all strangers. The men's mission combined modern technology with innate ingenuity, sparked by a passionate determination to get the gospel to those without Christ.

In a nearby village, their wives waited to hear from them. The news they received—that all five missionaries had been murdered—changed lives around the world forever.

Written while she was still a missionary in South America and at the request of the men's families, Through Gates of Splendor was Elisabeth Elliot's personal account of the final mission of these five courageous men. Filled with material from personal journals and a wealth of photographs, this story tells a lasting tale of God's grace, unconditional love, and great courage.

One Child

1981

by Torey L. Hayden

One Child is a beautiful and deeply moving tale that recounts educational psychologist Torey Hayden's battle to unlock the emotions of a troubled and sexually abused child. With the help of Hayden, this child was finally able to overcome her dark past and realize her full potential.

Six-year-old Sheila was abandoned by her mother on a highway when she was just four years old. A survivor of horrific abuse, she never spoke, never cried, and was placed in a class for severely retarded children after committing an atrocious act of violence against another child.

Everyone thought Sheila was beyond salvation—except her teacher, Torey Hayden. With patience, skill, and abiding love, Torey fought long and hard to release a haunted little girl from her secret nightmare and nurture the spark of genius she recognized trapped within Sheila's silence.

This is the remarkable story of their journey together—an odyssey of hope, courage, and inspiring devotion that opened the heart and mind of one lost child to a new world of discovery and joy.

A Woman of Substance

A celebration of an indomitable spirit, here is New York Times bestselling author Barbara Taylor Bradford's dazzling saga of a woman who dared to dream--and to triumph against all odds...

In the brooding moors above a humble Yorkshire village stood Fairley Hall. There, Emma Harte, its oppressed but resourceful servant girl, acquired a shrewd determination.

In the wake of tragedy she rose from poverty to magnificent wealth as the iron-willed force behind a thriving international enterprise. As one of the richest women in the world Emma Harte has almost everything she fought so hard to achieve--save for the dream of love, and for the passion of the one man she could never have. Through two marriages, two devastating wars, and generations of secrets, Emma's unparalleled success has come with a price. As greed, envy, and revenge consume those closest to her, the brilliant matriarch now finds herself poised to outwit her enemies, and to face the betrayals of the past with the same ingenious resolve that forged her empire.

The Valley of Vision: A Collection of Puritan Prayers and Devotions

1975

by Arthur Bennett

The strength of Puritan character and life lay in prayer and meditation. In this practice, the spirit of prayer was regarded as of first importance and the best form of prayer, for living prayer is the characteristic of genuine spirituality.

Yet prayer is also vocal and may therefore on occasions be written. Consequently, in the Puritan tradition, there are many written prayers and meditations which constitute an important corpus of inspiring devotional literature.

Too often, ex tempore prayer lacks variety, order, and definiteness. The reason for this lies partly in a neglect of due preparation. It is here that the care and scriptural thoroughness which others found necessary in their approach to God may be of help.

This book has been prepared not to 'supply' prayers but to prompt and encourage the Christian as he treads the path on which others have gone before.

Tao of Jeet Kune Do

1975

by Bruce Lee

This book is the remarkable outcome of those six months of introspection and intellectual exploration.

Within these pages, Bruce Lee shares his philosophical musings and practical insights into martial arts, emphasizing that Jeet Kune Do has no fixed boundaries—only those that we impose upon ourselves. This book serves as both a guide to martial arts techniques and a profound philosophical treatise.

Tao of Jeet Kune Do continues to inspire readers with its timeless wisdom and remains a testament to Bruce Lee's enduring legacy.

The Hiding Place: The Triumphant True Story of Corrie Ten Boom

1974

by Corrie ten Boom

Corrie ten Boom, an unassuming old-maid watchmaker, led a life that would have been considered unremarkable for the first fifty years. Living with her sister and their father in a tiny Dutch house above their shop, their lives were as precise and regular as the timepieces they crafted. But as the Nazi occupation of Holland turned their world upside down, Corrie and her family were thrust into a story of extraordinary courage and faith.

Transformed into leaders within the Dutch Underground, they risked everything to hide Jewish individuals from the Nazi regime, ingeniously concealing a secret room for this purpose in their home. Despite their valiant efforts, they were eventually betrayed, and all but Corrie faced a grim fate in a concentration camp.

The Hiding Place is more than just a recounting of historical events; it's a testament to the indomitable human spirit and the power of love and faith to overcome the darkest of times.

How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World: A Handbook for Personal Liberty

1973

by Harry Browne

In 1973, Harry Browne sent a simple message: You can live the life you want to live. Forty years after the publication of How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World, it is now being reissued in digital format to reach the millions of people around the world still seeking a refreshing and liberating point of view.

From the book:

Freedom is the opportunity to live your life as you want to live it. And that is possible, even if others remain as they are.

If you’re not free now, it might be because you’ve been preoccupied with the people or institutions that you feel have restrained your freedom. I don’t expect you to stop worrying about them merely because I suggest that you do.

I do hope to show you, though, that those people and institutions are relatively powerless to stop you — once you decide how you will achieve your freedom. There are things you can do to be free, and if you turn your attention to those things, no one will stand in your way. But when you become preoccupied with those who are blocking you, you overlook the many alternatives you could use to bypass them.

The freedom you seek is already available to you, but it has gone unnoticed. There probably are two basic reasons you haven’t taken advantage of that freedom. One reason is that you’re unaware of the many alternatives available to you.

The Lorax

1971

by Dr. Seuss

Celebrate Earth Day with Dr. Seuss and the Lorax in this classic picture book about sustainability and protecting the environment! I am the Lorax. I speak for the trees. Dr. Seuss's beloved story teaches kids to treat the planet with kindness and stand up and speak up for others. Experience the beauty of the Truffula Trees and the danger of taking our earth for granted in a story that is timely, playful, and hopeful.

The book's final pages teach us that just one small seed, or one small child, can make a difference. Printed on recycled paper, this book is the perfect gift for Earth Day and for any child—or child at heart—who is interested in recycling, advocacy, and the environment, or just loves nature and playing outside.

Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not.

Studies in the Sermon on the Mount

A spiritual classic, this detailed and comprehensive study by one of the greatest expository preachers of our time explains Christ's teaching in the Sermon on the Mount and incisively applies it to the Christian life.

With characteristic vigor and emotional vitality, Dr. Lloyd-Jones presents a brilliant and detailed exposition of one of the best known but most frequently misunderstood passages of Scripture. Here is a comprehensive and exhaustive study of our Lord's words as recorded in Matthew chapter five.

This beautiful portion of the Sermon on the Mount is carefully analyzed, its contents outlined and thoughtfully arranged, and vastly rich and abundant truths are gleaned for the reader's spiritual nurture.

The author brought a wealth of devoted study as well as a profound spiritual appreciation to the work of interpreting this greatest address of our delightful experience in meditation. It presents depth of thought in simple language and beauty of style and contains a veritable thesaurus of spiritual truths drawn from the entire Bible.

Tortured for Christ

One Man Who Dared to Stand Up

Months of solitary confinement, years of periodic physical torture, constant suffering from hunger and cold, and the anguish of brainwashing and mental cruelty—these are the experiences of a Romanian pastor during his 14 years in Communist prisons.

His crime, like that of thousands of others, was his fervent belief in Jesus Christ and his public witness concerning that faith.

Meeting in homes, in basements, and in woods—sometimes daring to preach in public on street corners—these faithful souls persisted in their Christian witness knowing full well the ultimate cost of their actions.

This is their story—a classic account of courage, tenacious faith, and unbelievable endurance. This history of the Underground Church reflects the continuing struggle in many parts of the world today.

Sir Gibbie teaches adults and children alike about the ability to sacrifice self, and to strive for a world more honest and pure than our own.

Letter from the Birmingham Jail

Letter from the Birmingham Jail is a profound piece of writing by Martin Luther King Jr., composed on April 16, 1963, while he was confined in a Birmingham jail. King was serving a sentence for his participation in civil rights demonstrations.

Alone for days in the dull monotony of a narrow jail cell, King reflected on a letter from fellow clergymen urging him to abandon his campaign of nonviolent resistance and leave the battle for racial equality to the courts. In response, he drafted this extensive and forceful written statement against social injustice.

This remarkable essay not only focused the world's attention on Birmingham but also spurred the famous March on Washington. Bristling with the energy and resonance of his great speeches, this letter is both a compelling defense of nonviolent demonstration and a rallying cry for an end to social discrimination. It remains as powerful today as it was more than twenty years ago.

The Story of Art

1950

by E.H. Gombrich

The Story of Art is a classic introduction to the world of art, tracing its evolution from the earliest cave paintings to the most experimental modern art.

This 16th revised and updated edition includes eight new artists from the modern period, such as Corot, Kollwitz, Nolde, de Chirico, Brancussi, Magritte, Nicolson, and Morandi. The book provides a comprehensive overview with fuller captions, detailing the medium and dimensions of the illustrated works.

Featuring six fold-outs that present selected large-scale works, including masterpieces like Van Eyck's Ghent Altarpiece, Leonardo's Last Supper, Botticelli's Birth of Venus, Jackson Pollock's One (Number 31, 1950), Van der Weyden's Descent from the Cross, and Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling, this book is a treasure trove for art enthusiasts.

Los árboles mueren de pie

Los árboles mueren de pie is considered one of the best works of Alejandro Casona (Besullo, Asturias, 1903 - Madrid, 1965) and is also one of the most representative of the poetic theater that characterizes the author. From an action that takes place in a philanthropic institution, the reader/spectator witnesses the violent clash between two frequent values in his theater: fantasy and reality, with the triumph of the latter in this play.

Creator of types, the character of the Grandmother has all the strength of the tragic characters and constitutes the central element of the work. With her temperament and strength, she dominates adverse circumstances, confronts a painful reality, and when she feels weakened, she does not want to be seen fallen, but rather: "dead inside but standing. Like a tree."

The Pianist: The Extraordinary Story of One Man's Survival in Warsaw, 1939–45

The Pianist is the extraordinary memoir of Władysław Szpilman, a young Jewish pianist who survived the horrors of World War II in Warsaw. On September 23, 1939, Szpilman played Chopin's Nocturne in C-sharp minor live on Polish Radio, only to be interrupted by the outbreak of war as German shells exploded around him.

His account details the devastating impact of the Nazi occupation on the Jews of Warsaw, including the tragic loss of his entire family who were deported to Treblinka. Szpilman's survival is a testament to his resilience and the unexpected kindness of strangers, including a German officer, Wilm Hosenfeld, who provided him with food and shelter.

The memoir captures the haunting reality of life in the Warsaw Ghetto, where Szpilman hid among the ruins, enduring hunger and despair. His story is interwoven with excerpts from Hosenfeld's diary, offering a poignant counterpoint that highlights the madness and humanity found amidst the war's chaos.

Originally published in 1946, this powerful narrative was suppressed for decades and now stands as a profound testament to human endurance and the redemptive power of music.

Every family is a ghost story... Mitch Albom mesmerized readers around the world with his number one New York Times bestsellers, The Five People You Meet in Heaven and Tuesdays with Morrie. Now he returns with a beautiful, haunting novel about the family we love and the chances we miss.

For One More Day is the story of a mother and a son, and a relationship that covers a lifetime and beyond. It explores the question: What would you do if you could spend one more day with a lost loved one? As a child, Charley "Chick" Benetto was told by his father, "You can be a mama's boy or a daddy's boy, but you can't be both." So he chooses his father, only to see the man disappear when Charley is on the verge of adolescence. Decades later, Charley is a broken man. His life has been crumbled by alcohol and regret. He loses his job. He leaves his family. He hits bottom after discovering his only daughter has shut him out of her wedding. And he decides to take his own life.

He makes a midnight ride to his small hometown, with plans to do himself in. But upon failing even to do that, he staggers back to his old house, only to make an astonishing discovery. His mother, who died eight years earlier, is still living there, and welcomes him home as if nothing ever happened.

What follows is the one ordinary day so many of us yearn for, a chance to make good with a lost parent, to explain the family secrets, and to seek forgiveness. Somewhere between this life and the next, Charley learns the astonishing things he never knew about his mother and her sacrifices. And he tries, with her tender guidance, to put the crumbled pieces of his life back together.

Through Albom's inspiring characters and masterful storytelling, readers will newly appreciate those whom they love and may have thought they'd lost in their own lives. For One More Day is a book for anyone in a family, and will be cherished by Albom's millions of fans worldwide.

Lima sahabat telah menjalin persahabatan selama tujuh tahun. Mereka adalah Arial yang paling tampan, Riani sebagai satu-satunya wanita dalam kelompok itu, Zafran yang berlagak seperti seorang penyair, Ian yang paling subur badannya, dan Genta yang dianggap sebagai leader dalam kelompok itu.

Kegemaran mereka adalah mengeksekusi hal-hal yang tidak mungkin dan mencoba segala hal, mulai dari kafe paling terkenal di Jakarta, sampai nonton layar tancap. Semuanya penggemar film, dari film Hollywood sampai film yang nggak kelas—kecuali film India karena mereka punya prinsip bahwa semua persoalan di dunia atau masalah pasti ada jalan keluarnya, tapi bukan dalam bentuk joget.

Suatu saat, karena terdorong oleh rasa bosan di antara satu dan yang lain, mereka memutuskan untuk tidak saling berkomunikasi dan bertemu satu sama lain selama tiga bulan. Selama tiga bulan berpisah itulah telah terjadi banyak hal yang membuat hati mereka lebih kaya dari sebelumnya.

Pertemuan setelah tiga bulan yang penuh dengan rasa kangen akhirnya terjadi dan dirayakan dengan sebuah perjalanan. Sebuah perjalanan yang penuh dengan keyakinan, mimpi, cita-cita, dan cinta. Sebuah perjalanan yang telah mengubah mereka menjadi manusia sesungguhnya, bukan cuma seonggok daging yang bisa berbicara, berjalan, dan punya nama.

Ada yang pernah bilang kalau idealisme adalah kemewahan terakhir yang dimiliki oleh generasi muda….

A Long Walk to Water: Based on a True Story

A Long Walk to Water begins as two stories, told in alternating sections, about a girl in Sudan in 2008 and a boy in Sudan in 1985.

The girl, Nya, is fetching water from a pond that is two hours’ walk from her home. She makes two trips to the pond every day.

The boy, Salva, becomes one of the "lost boys" of Sudan, refugees who cover the African continent on foot as they search for their families and for a safe place to stay.

Enduring every hardship from loneliness to attack by armed rebels to contact with killer lions and crocodiles, Salva is a survivor, and his story goes on to intersect with Nya’s in an astonishing and moving way.

Alone on a Wide Wide Sea

There were dozens of us on the ship, all ages, boys and girls, and we were all up on deck for the leaving of Liverpool, gulls wheeling and crying over our heads, calling good-bye, I thought they were waving good-bye. None of us spoke.

It was a grey day with drizzle in the air, the great sad cranes bowing to the ship from the docks as we steamed past. That is all I remember of England!

When orphaned Arthur Hobhouse is shipped to Australia after WW II, he loses his sister, his country, and everything he knows. The coming years will test him to his limits, as he endures mistreatment, neglect, and forced labour in the Australian outback. But Arthur is also saved, again and again, by his love of the sea.

And when he meets a nurse whose father owns a boat-building business, all the pieces of his broken life come together. Now, at the end of his life, Arthur has built a special boat for his daughter Allie, whose love of the sea is as strong and as vital as her father's.

Now Allie has a boat that will take her to England solo, across the world's roughest seas, in search of her father's long-lost sister! Will the threads of Arthur's life finally come together?

Approaching Zion is LDS scholar and social critic Hugh Nibley's most popular book. More accessible than many of his scholarly works, it is replete with Nibley's trademark humor and startling insights into history, religion, and life.

Captivating: Unveiling the Mystery of a Woman's Soul

Every woman was once a little girl. And every little girl holds in her heart her most precious dreams. She longs to be swept up into a romance, to play an irreplaceable role in a great adventure, to be the Beauty of the story.

Yet, how many women do you know who ever find that life? Most women think they have to settle for a life of efficiency and duty, striving to be the women they "ought" to be but often feeling they have failed. Sadly, too many messages for Christian women add to the pressure. "Do these ten things, and you will be a godly woman." The effect has not been good on the feminine soul.

The message of "Captivating" is this: Your heart matters more than anything else in all creation. The desires you had as a little girl and the longings you still feel are telling you of the life God created you to live. He offers to rescue your heart and release you to live as a fully alive and feminine woman. A woman who is truly captivating.

Heaven is for Real: A Little Boy's Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back

When Colton Burpo made it through an emergency appendectomy, his family was overjoyed at his miraculous survival. What they weren't expecting, though, was the story that emerged in the months that followed--a story as beautiful as it was extraordinary, detailing their little boy's trip to heaven and back.

Colton, not yet four years old, told his parents he left his body during the surgery--and authenticated that claim by describing exactly what his parents were doing in another part of the hospital while he was being operated on. He talked of visiting heaven and relayed stories told to him by people he met there whom he had never met in life, sharing events that happened even before he was born. He also astonished his parents with descriptions and obscure details about heaven that matched the Bible exactly, though he had not yet learned to read.

With disarming innocence and the plainspoken boldness of a child, Colton tells of meeting long-departed family members. He describes Jesus, the angels, how "really, really big" God is, and how much God loves us. Retold by his father, but using Colton's uniquely simple words, Heaven is for Real offers a glimpse of the world that awaits us, where as Colton says, "Nobody is old and nobody wears glasses."

Heaven is for Real will forever change the way you think of eternity, offering you the chance to see, and believe, like a child.
