‘An intriguing and complex family story. I was hooked from the first sentence.’ – Nozizwe Cynthia Jele, author of The Ones with Purpose What is the cost of giving a gift? What is the cost of receiving one? At eleven years old, Julian Flint prefers to remain invisible, safe inside the architecture of adults provided by his mother, his uncle and his aunt. But when his mother, Emma, a celebrated sculptor, takes them all on a family holiday to a hotel by the sea, he meets the captivating and irreverent Clare and everything he thought he knew begins to shift – setting off a chain of events that will determine each of their fates. From the award-winning author of The Dream House and The White Room comes Craig Higginson’s most gripping and nuanced novel to date. Moving from the lush beaches of uMhlanga Rocks to the stark midwinter wastes of Johannesburg and the rich and strange coral reefs of Mauritius, this masterfully plotted novel explores the fault-lines between loyalty and betrayal, innocence and accountability, blindness and perception, entrapment and flight. The Book of Gifts dives into the deepest and most hazardous reaches of human consciousness in order to catch the brightest fish.

The gift, like so many gifts, was a book...' So begins the essay by Robert Macfarlane that inspired this collection. In this cornucopia of an anthology, you will find essays by some of the world's most beloved novelists, nonfiction writers, essayists and poets. 'You will see books taking flight in flocks, migrating around the world, landing in people's hearts and changing them for a day or a year or a lifetime. 'You will see books sparking wonder or anger; throwing open windows into other languages, other cultures, other minds; causing people to fall in love or to fight for what is right. 'And more than anything, over and over again, you will see books and words being given, received and read - and in turn prompting further generosity.' Published to coincide with the 20th anniversary of global literacy non-profit, Room to Read, The Gifts of Reading forms inspiring, unforgettable, irresistible proof of the power and necessity of books and reading.

There will come a time when pain, illness, doubt, or failure will come into your life unannounced. Without a word or notice, they will latch onto you and will do everything in their power to never let go. Everything in your life will seem like it is coming to an end. It'll seem that your life can't and will not get better. Life will hit you with everything it's got to keep you from getting up. It'll send one of its greatest enforcers to get the job done, fear. Fear will strip you from your strength and your will to survive. James had more downs than ups in his life. Life was constantly presenting him with opposing forces. With every opposing force he encountered, he discovered a common factor""the live BASIC formula. The live BASIC formula helped him overcome his opposing forces that life had given him. The live BASIC formula helped him establish a strong relationship with God, and because of it, he overcame his greatest enemy of all, fear. With the live BASIC formula, James was able to put his uttermost trust in God and welcomed whatever decision God would give him. Many decide to go through this journey of life without ever asking for help from God. What we fail to understand is that God blessed humanity with the gift of freedom of choice. God will not force his love on us; instead, He gives us the choice to love and follow him. The freedom of choice can serve as a double-edged sword. We get upset when things don't go our way. If only we'd ask for God's guidance, our life may or may not have brought us into the predicaments we're currently in. Instead, we have become selfish with our time and lives. We want nothing to do with God. Many will argue that he doesn't exist. But what kind of life would that be? A life without God means a life without a purpose. A man or woman without a purpose is destined for a life filled with misery. Throughout our existence, we've wrestled with ourselves in trying to find an answer to what is my purpose in life? Some find its meaning, and others never do. This then leads them down a dark path of emptiness and hopelessness. They start to feel an emptiness growing inside of them, never knowing how to fill it. They try to fill it with money, materialistic things, or meaningless relationships, but it never works! We were all blessed with gifts and talents by our creator God. But we never bother to seek out our gifts and talents; we rob ourselves and the world from them. We were created by God to serve a specific purpose. When we don't carry out our purpose, then we feel as though our life is meaningless. If ever we get to this point, we must then ask God to guide us through our journey of life. God shouldn't be your last resort; on the contrary, God should be the first person you seek in your life's journey.

Neon Pilgrim written by Lisa Dempster and has been published by Simon and Schuster this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2017-08-01 with Travel categories.
During a culture-shocked exchange year in Japan, fifteen-year-old Lisa Dempster’s imagination is ignited by the story of the henro michi, an arduous 1200 kilometre Buddhist pilgrimage through the mountains of Japan. Perfectly suiting the romantic view of herself as a dusty, travel-worn explorer (well, one day), she promises to return to Japan and walk the henro michi, one way or another, as soon as humanely possible. Fast-forward thirteen years, and Lisa’s life is vastly different to what she pictured it would be. Severely depressed, socially withdrawn, overweight, on the dole and living with her mum, she is 28 and miserable. And then, completely by chance, the henro michi comes back into her life, through a book at her local library. It’s a sign. She decides then and there to go back to Japan almost immediately: to walk the henro michi, and walk herself back to health. Brushing aside the barriers that other people might find daunting – the 1200km of mountainous terrain, the sweltering Japanese summer, the fact she has no money and has never done a multi-day hike before – Lisa is determined to walk the pilgrimage, or die trying.

In The Gift, Lila Ellexson Senter reflects on Christmases past and takes us along for the journey. Throughout time, she and her friends and family have discovered the joy of "word gifts"--Collections of quotations, original poetry, and stories that have amplified the meaning of Christmas for both the gift giver and the recipient. This book represents some of the most meaningful word gifts they have exchanged over the years. The words, so carefully chosen, reflect a strong faith, and the beautiful artwork that accompanies each word gift amplifies the message.
