Описание: Frieda Harms was born into a farming family in Indian Territory in 1906. Widowed at thirty and left with three children in the midst of the Great Depression, she worked as a farmer, a railroad cook, a mill worker, and a nurse in four states. She died in 1983.Sandra Scofield spent most of her childhood with her grandmother Frieda and remained close to her in adulthood. When Frieda died, Sandra received her Bible and boxes of her photographs, letters, and notes. For thirty years, Sandra dipped into that cache.Sandra always sensed an undercurrent of hard feelings within her grandmother, but it was not until she sifted through Frieda’s belongings that she began to understand how much her life had demanded, and how much she had given. At the same time, questions in Sandra’s own history began to be answered, especially about the tug-of-war between her mother and grandmother. At last, in Mysteries of Love and Grief, Scofield wrestles with the meaning of her grandmother’s saga of labor and loss, trying to balance her need to understand with respect for Frieda’s mystery.

Описание:
An old diary, tucked away in a historical museum since the Great Depression, provides clues as to what really happened on a farm outside Wirrim, a small Australian country town. Was it a murder/suicide, where a young mother shot herself and her three children? Or was her husband responsible? Does knowledge of the history of the time carry some weight?
A Japanese teenager and exchange student, Hiroshi Nakamura, chronically anxious and depressed, walks out of Wirrim and vanishes. Has he survived? If so, where is he? If not, is this a suicide? Or murder? Malcolm Richardson, an elderly farmer and son of a Japanese prisoner-of-war survivor, admits that he met the boy but swears that he had nothing to do with the disappearance. Truth, or lies? And where do his father's letters to his mother from the Middle East in World War II fit in?
These are mysteries that claim the attention of historian Merran Scofield, who grew up in Wirrim but left long ago to pursue an academic career in San Francisco. When she returns for a short study trip and attends a class reunion, she little guesses that her life will never be the same, thanks to former classmates, the local police officer and, again, her knowledge of the times.
Truth, Fiction, andLies will appeal to mystery buffs; those interested in Australia, particularly its history; and armchair psychologists. It's a fast read with a surprisingly complex plot which will keep you reading well into the night.

Описание: God is the creator of all things, from the beauty we find in a branch of apple blossoms, to the peace we find in a cool breeze. His love and faithfulness can be seen in everything around us, for He has created it all and spoken it into this world. When His words enter your heart, you will be forever changed and see the world anew-just as He intended. Even our own backyards, when seen through God's Word, can be splendid places full of extraordinary lessons on love, life, family, friendship, loyalty, and faith. Just outside our homes is the world God created for us to learn from and enjoy. Gigi Scofield felt God press into her heart and encourage her to share the simple joys she was audience to outside her own kitchen window. In forty-four sections, Gigi Scofield illustrates how God revealed Himself to her through the world right outside her home. Offering charming insight and meaningful prayer, As I Look Out of My Kitchen Window will fill your day with a refreshing look at God's Word and will forever change the way you peer out into God's creation. Gigi grew up in Tarpon Springs, FL and married Darwin, her high school sweetheart. She is a loving mother to three grown sons, their beautiful wives and proud grandmother of six. It has been her honor to be a pastor's wife, a Bible teacher of all ages for over thirty-five years (writing many of the lessons herself), a women's ministry leader, and working mom. Serving God has taken her from Florida to Alabama and, for the past twenty-five years, Montana. While on mission trips to Uganda and Ukraine she had the pleasure of teaching and encouraging women. No matter where she is, Gigi loves people and loves the Lord - serving Him is her privilege and joy.
