Book Synopsis In the Belly of Jonah by : Sandra Brannan

Download or read book In the Belly of Jonah written by Sandra Brannan. This book was released on 2010-09. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Belly of Jonah is a fast-paced mystery with a likable protagonist and an intricately woven narrative brimming with bizarre yet believable twists. The first in a series, the book expertly lays the groundwork for Liv Bergen, amateur sleuth, and her love interest, FBI Agent Streeter Pierce. Liv becomes involved in the investigation of the murder of Jill Brannigan, a summer intern at the limestone mine Liv manages near Fort Collins, Colorado (a breathtaking setting that unwittingly becomes an accessory to crime). In doing so, she inadvertently puts her friends, her family, and herself at risk of being swallowed in the belly of a madman bloated with perverse appetites for women, surrealistic art, and renown. Perhaps a bit too daring (and at times irreverent) for her own good, ¿Boots,¿ as Liv¿s eight siblings call her, soon realizes she has a knack for outsmarting and tracking down the Venus de Milo murderer¿and she enjoys it! As the gripping plot of In the Belly of Jonah unfolds, Liv Bergen takes her place alongside the best female crime-solvers as a woman with smarts, self-confidence, and intuitive savvy. For twenty-five years, Sam Brannan has run a division in the mining company that was founded by her grandfather, father, and uncle in 1944. She lives with her family in Rapid City, South Dakota. In the Belly of Jonah is her first novel.

Book Synopsis Jonah's Belly by : Anthony Wittwer

Download or read book Jonah's Belly written by Anthony Wittwer. This book was released on 2014-05-27. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thriller, love story, and supernatural tale, JONAH'S BELLY is an intricately woven tapestry of tender and terrible things. Strange things are happening on the hill called Jonah's Belly. A tall circle of weathered stone pillars stands on top of the hill. The circle of stones is ancient, crumbling, and holy-a small and hidden Stonehenge, slumbering in the mist-covered woods. An old magic has begun flowing from the stone circle and spilling down Jonah's Belly. The magic touches those living near the hill, drawing together ordinary people and extraordinary beings as events and dark forces begin to collide. At the heart of the developing storm are Blue and Elissa, raw and wounded from the recent accident that claimed their son's life. Blue lies awake at night, thinking about the secrets he's keeping from Elissa-secrets about the accident that took their son, and secrets about the fragile sound he's begun hearing in the darkness outside their cabin...the sound of a baby crying. Crying somewhere on Jonah's Belly. Attracted by the drifting magic, other things gather.... ...a Gypsy carnival appears at the local fairground. The fortune-teller's sign warns, "All You Want To Know. And More You Don't." ...the Matchman arrives. A shimmering, red-haired man in a corporate black suit, he brings dangerous gifts, and counsels those he meets to "Stay small. Don't Stir. Stay tucked tight away." ...five black cars begin prowling the county's web of back roads. The cars crisscross the territory slowly, studying the area's secluded homes, and sometimes stopping to visit nightmares upon those who live inside. ... the Glammerys, a multi-generational nest of evil and violence living at the bottom of a sunless ravine are visited by something more evil and violent than they've ever imagined. ....and something else. Something unseen, prowling in the wood's dark and green tangled places. Propelled forward by the powerful forces of family, friendship, loss, and reunion, JONAH'S BELLY is a story of love, revenge, horror, myth, and the magic of every day.

Book Synopsis Jonah by : Amy Erickson

Download or read book Jonah written by Amy Erickson. This book was released on 2021-05-18. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dominant reading of the book of Jonah—that the hapless prophet Jonah is a lesson in not trying to run away from God—oversimplifies a profoundly literary biblical text, argues Amy Erickson. Likewise, the more recent understanding of Jonah as satire is problematic in its own right, laden as it is with anti-Jewish undertones and the superimposition of a Christian worldview onto a Jewish text. How can we move away from these stale interpretations to recover the richness of meaning that belongs to this short but noteworthy book of the Bible? This Illuminations commentary delves into Jonah’s reception history in Christian, Jewish, and Islamic contexts while also exploring its representations in visual arts, music, literature, and pop culture. After this thorough contextualization, Erickson provides a fresh translation and exegesis, paving the way for pastors and scholars to read and utilize the book of Jonah as the provocative, richly allusive, and theologically robust text that it is.

Book Synopsis Under the Unpredictable Plant by : Eugene Peterson

Download or read book Under the Unpredictable Plant written by Eugene Peterson. This book was released on 1994-06-27. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like Eugene Peterson's other books on pastoring, Under the Unpredictable Plant is full of stimulating insights, candid observations, and biblically grounded prescriptions. Yet this book emanates with a special poignancy out of Peterson's own crisis experience as a pastor. Peterson tells about the "abyss," the "gaping crevasse," the "chasm" that he experienced, early in his ministry, between his Christian faith and his pastoral vocation. He was astonished and dismayed to find that his personal spirituality, his piety, was inadequate for his vocation -- and he argues that the same is true of pastors in general. In the book of Jonah -- a parable with a prayer at its center -- Peterson finds a subversive, captivating story that can help pastors recover their "vocational holiness." Using the Jonah story as a narrative structure, Peterson probes the spiritual dimensions of the pastoral calling and seeks to reclaim the ground taken over by those who are trying to enlist pastors in religious careers.
