Kirjailija Gregory David Roberts syntyi vuonna 1952 Melbournessa. Vuonna 1978 hänet tuomittiin aseellisista ryöstöistä vankilaan lähes 20 vuodeksi. Roberts onnistui pakenemaan Bombayhin, jonne hän perusti ilmaisklinikan slummien asukkaille ja pestautui kaupungin mafian leipiin. Vuonna 1990 Roberts vangittiin uudestaan, hän kärsi tuomionsa ja kirjoitti maailmanlaajuista huomiota herättäneen omaelämäkerrallisen romaaninsa Shantaramin vankeusvuosiensa aikana.Nykyään Roberts on vetäytynyt täysin julkisuudesta ja keskittyy kirjoittamiseen. Hän on kieltänyt jopa kuviensa julkaisemisen kirjojensa ilmestymisen yhteydessä.Shantaramissa nuori australialaismies Lin pakenee vankilasta Bombayhin. Vieraassa miljoonakaupungissa hän niittää aluksi mainetta parantajana, minkä vuoksi hänet lopulta vangitaan. Vapauduttuaan Lin sotkeutuu laittomaan passibisnekseen ja asekauppaan. Vuoren varjo ajoittuu tapahtumiin kaksi vuotta Shantaramin jälkeen. Lin on menettänyt kaksi rakasta ihmistä: isähahmon, mafiapomo Khaderbhain, ja sielunsisar Karlan, joka on nyt naimisissa komean mediapohatan kanssa. Kun Lin palaa salakuljetusmatkalta Bombayhin, kaupunki tuntuu muuttuneen vaarallisen paljon, vaarallisen nopeasti. Vaikka monet vanhat ystävät ovat häipyneet, Lin ei pysty jättämään kaupunkia: Karla ja eräs kohtalokas lupaus eivät päästä häntä otteestaan.Vuoren varjo on eksoottinen runsaudensarvi, kuten edeltäjänsä Shantaram. Roberts vie jälleen lukijansa jännittävälle ja unohtumattomalle matkalle, joka toivottavasti jatkuu vielä jonain päivänä.

As Often as You Eat This Bread: Communion Frequency in English, Scottish, and Early American Churches

As Often as You Eat This Bread: Communion Frequency in English, Scottish, and Early American Churches

Gregory David Soderberg

Vandenhoeck Ruprecht
2022
sidottu
Why can't Christians agree about communion? Why is it that in some churches all worship services culminate in a holy meal whereas other churches celebrate this "holy supper" only once in a while? Theologian Gregory Soderberg has researched this question, excavating patterns of communion frequency within one of the bigger Christian families: the Reformed tradition. Despite being the sacrament of unity, the eucharist has often been a cause of strife in Christian churches.In his study, Gregory David Soderberg is the first to focus in depth on communion frequency in the Reformed tradition. He concludes that, although the 16th century Reformers desired more frequent communion, this was balanced by their desire to create mature Christian communities. So, preachers and church leaders stressed the priority of moral conduct and the importance of understanding what the eucharist meant for Protestants. The study analyses sources from the very beginnings of this tradition in 16th century Zurich and Geneva, and it follows its trajectories through England and Scotland all the way down to 19th century USA. Ultimately, it is hoped that understanding the polemics of the past will help churches today to celebrate the sacrament of unity more meaningfully.

David O. McKay and the Rise of Modern Mormonism

Gregory Prince; Wm Wright

University of Utah Press,U.S.
2005
sidottu
Ordained as an apostle in 1906, David O. McKay served as president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from 1951 until his death in 1970. Under his leadership, the church experienced unparalleled growth - nearly tripling in total membership - and becoming a significant presence throughout the world. The first book to draw upon the David O. McKay Papers at the J. Willard Marriott Library at the University of Utah, in addition to some two hundred interviews conducted by the authors, David O. McKay and the Rise of Modern Mormonism focuses primarily on the years of McKay's presidency. During some of the most turbulent times in American and world history, McKay navigated the church through uncharted waters as it faced the challenges of worldwide growth in an age of communism, the civil rights movement, and ecumenism. Gregory Prince and Robert Wright have compiled a thorough history of the presidency of a much-loved prophet who left a lasting legacy within the LDS Church.

This is the story of David. No, not that David, the David of the Bible. This is the story of Decatur, Illinois native and musician David Causey, my Uncle. However, like the David of the Bible, who played the lyre and sang songs, David Causey played the guitar and sang songs. In fact, as of the writing of this book in 2021, he still does play guitar and sing for himself and friends. David, or Dave to his friends, had a long musical history in Decatur, fronting Decatur's first rock and roll band, The Headhunters in the 50s, to the Trambones who played dates with the Elvis Presley band, and to being the rhythm guitarist and vocalist for the popular dance band, The Blue Notes, into the 70s. His musical sojourn also took him to South Bend, Indiana and he spent a year playing bass guitar in a Surf band in southern California at the beginning of the surf movement in the early 60s. From fronting Decatur's first Rock band to playing in a Surf band in southern California, David really was at the forefront of many musical first waves. This book is my own attempt to honor my Uncle's musical career, and that of the musicians, many from Decatur, he played with. The book contains over sixty black and white, and color photos from 1954 through 2007, including the 1959 Elvis Presley band with Scotty Moore, Reggie Young, Bill Black, DJ Fontana and Joe Lee. There are many photos of vintage Gibson, Gretsch, Martin, National and Fender guitars, as well as Fender and Gibson amps, all being played by the musicians. David Causey: A Life in Music is a is a hardback book with 60 black and white and full color glossy pages.

The Escapes of David George: An Odyssey of Slavery, Freedom, and the American Revolution

The Escapes of David George: An Odyssey of Slavery, Freedom, and the American Revolution

Gregory E. O'Malley

St. Martin's Press
2026
sidottu
By a prize-winning historian: The dramatic story of a Black man's relentless search for freedom in Revolutionary-era America When most Americans think of slavery, they do not picture the colonial or revolutionary eras. Yet, in fact, one of six inhabitants of the thirteen original colonies was enslaved. The Escapes of David George: an Odyssey of Slavery, Freedom, and the American Revolution reveals a remarkable, untold experience of the American revolutionary period--a Black man's quest for the freedom espoused by our Founders, but denied him and other enslaved people. In 1762, at the age of 19, David George escaped from a plantation in Virginia. Running southwest by night, fording rivers and crossing borders, he embarked on a decades-long journey in and out of captivity that spanned multiple colonies and thousands of miles. George lived among White, Black, Creek, and Natchez settlements, fled to the British Army for the promise of liberty, founded what might have been the first Black Baptist church, helped to hack a settlement for refugees out of the Nova Scotia wilderness, and died as a leader of an experimental anti-slavery community in Sierra Leone. Piecing together archival records and David George's own brief account of his life--the earliest written testimony by a fugitive enslaved person in North America--Gregory O'Malley presents a thrilling narrative and a unique perspective on our nation's origins, principles, and contradictions.

The Colosseum Critical Introdcution to David Mason

The Colosseum Critical Introdcution to David Mason

We learn a good deal about David Mason's life through his poetry: we learn of his family life and troubles, his travels, his loves, and his losses, but we never have the impression of being buttonholed by a man who is self-centered or egoistical. Partly this is because we are convinced of the numerous ways in which the life he recounts is connected to other lives, to places and to historical events. But it is mainly because we always sense how closely what he recounts is related to ourselves. As with all major poets, his voice becomes our own."This book examines Mason's career in detail, from his very first volume (1990) to his most recent publications, bringing out the full range of his accomplishment in a number of different genres—lyrics, narrative poetry, children's verse, drama, and opera libretti—while also examining his critical essays and memoirs. While offering close readings of all his most important poems—from the shortest epigram to the book-length verse narrative, Ludlow—the book also provides the biographical context for these works, giving an insight into a rich and varied life that has spanned three continents.

Giant Lessons from David

Giant Lessons from David

Claybon Lea Dmin; Joel C Gregory

Westbow Press
2021

The definition of success varies widely from person to person and is often influenced by one's goals, dreams, experiences, and stage in life. Anyone considered to be a public success has survived personal attacks, sabotage, hardships, and disappointments. Nevertheless, neither their survival nor success would be noteworthy apart from the lessons they learned along the way. This book is not intended to be a self-help guide that dictates a prearranged series of steps to success. Rather, by drawing insights from the life of David (who began as a humble shepherd boy and became the most celebrated king in the history of Israel), "Giant Lessons From David" seeks to help you manage your own journey of success. To that end, this book makes a few fundamental presuppositions. First, success is a journey that always entails enemies, experiences, and emotions that must be managed. Second, success is influenced by the providential favor of God. Third, there are valuable lessons to be learned about God, life, and self at every stage of the journey. Practical, uplifting, and relatable, this biblically based book of "Giant Lessons" from the life of David is a must-read for anyone looking to manage the highs and lows of a successful life.
