Where the Tree Falls, the Forest Rises: Stories of Death and Renewal

Where the Tree Falls, the Forest Rises: Stories of Death and Renewal

For Charlene Elderkin, compiling thirty original, first-person essays from twenty-nine different authors brings the kind of solace and breadth of understanding she longed for when facing her own mother's end-of-life journey at the hands of chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Now her experience takes its place alongside those of her fellow authors, the complexity of their collective loss laid bare to expose the power of these personal, life-altering experiences. They offer an intimate glimpse into love and loss and the renewal that follows the death of a loved one. It is not a book about grief, though that is part of the process. No, it is a book about life-and the life that begins anew with death.As courageous and powerful as it is intimate and affecting, Charlene Elderkin's collection of essays brings comfort and strength at a time full of uncertainty and vulnerability. Between each line of each essay lies the unspoken: we search for some solid ground in a time when it seems to be forever shifting. Giving voice to emotions that seem beyond understanding and articulation, Where the Tree Falls, the Forest Rises is a transformative journey that will change the way you view death and the life that comes after.

When the mother of her beloved pastor died, Carline purposed to travel to the funeral-a distance of approximately seventy miles. The weather was terrible, with heavy rains all over the island, but Carline and three of her friends decided, against good advice, to go anyway. The harrowing journey both to and from the funeral tested the faith and fortitude of these friends.Swollen rivers, climbing vines up a rock face, pouring rain, scanty food, and other troubles plagued the women as they pushed on. God sent help more than once, just when they needed it most. Carline uses the hardships they faced as they trekked back as a comparison to the Christian life and urges us to press ahead, just as the four friends did in their determination to get home.I encourage anyone who has ever been broken, felt empty, needs a refill from the Holy Spirit or you are just an avid reader, to read this book.

Capital of the World

Capital of the World

Charlene Mires

New York University Press

From 1944 to 1946, as the world pivoted from the Second World War to an unsteady peace, Americans in more than two hundred cities and towns mobilized to chase an implausible dream. The newly-created United Nations needed a meeting place, a central place for global diplomacy—a Capital of the World. But what would it look like, and where would it be? Without invitation, civic boosters in every region of the United States leapt at the prospect of transforming their hometowns into the Capital of the World. The idea stirred in big cities—Chicago, San Francisco, St. Louis, New Orleans, Denver, and more. It fired imaginations in the Black Hills of South Dakota and in small towns from coast to coast. Meanwhile, within the United Nations the search for a headquarters site became a debacle that threatened to undermine the organization in its earliest days. At times it seemed the world's diplomats could agree on only one thing: under no circumstances did they want the United Nations to be based in New York. And for its part, New York worked mightily just to stay in the race it would eventually win. With a sweeping view of the United States' place in the world at the end of World War II, Capital of the World tells the dramatic, surprising, and at times comic story of hometown promoters in pursuit of an extraordinary prize and the diplomats who struggled with the balance of power at a pivotal moment in history.
