Book Synopsis The Book of Fathers by : Miklos Vamos

Download or read book The Book of Fathers written by Miklos Vamos. This book was released on 2009-10-13. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When in 1705 Kornell Csillag's grandfather returns destitute to his native Hungary from exile, he happens across a gold fob-watch gleaming in the mud. The shipwrecked fortunes of the Csillag family suddenly take a new and marvelous turn. The golden watch brings an unexpected gift to the future generations of firstborn sons: clairvoyance. Passed down from father to son, this gift offers the ability to look into the future or back into history–for some it is considered a blessing, for others a curse. No matter the outcome, each generation records its astonishing, vivid, and revelatory visions into a battered journal that becomes known as The Book of Fathers. For three hundred years the Csillag family line meanders unbroken across Hungary's rivers and vineyards, through a land overrun by wolves and bandits, scarred by plague and massacre, and brutalized by despots. Impetuous, tenderhearted, and shrewd, the Csillags give birth to scholars and gamblers, artists and entrepreneurs. Led astray by unruly passions, they marry frigid French noblewomen and thieving alehouse whores. They change their name and their religion, and change them back. They wander from home but always return, and through it all The Book of Fathers bears witness to holocaust and wedding feast alike.

Book Synopsis A Father's Book of Wisdom by : H. Brown

Download or read book A Father's Book of Wisdom written by H. Brown. This book was released on 2000-10-06. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A few weeks after Dad passed away," says H. Jackson Brown, Jr., the compiler of A Father's Book of Wisdom, "we found eight shoeboxes in his closet filled with scraps of paper all covered with ideas Dad thought were profound, interesting, or merely amusing." The result is one father's view of life and what he thought about the importance of self-reliance, commitment, love, generosity, and success. It contains 159 quotes from Socrates, Eleanor Roosevelt, Andrew Jackson, Mother Teresa, and many others covering such topics as achievement,courage, happiness, parenting, success, and values. Quotations such as "If you're looking for a big opportunity, seek out a big problem" and "Life doesn't come with an instruction book - that's why we have fathers" communicate an upbeat, positive view of the world that will inspire and charm the reader. It is the perfect gift book for Father's Day, graduation, or any time of the year, and may even inspire you to jot down a few notes of your own.

Book excerpt: Fueled by fear, a man runs to escape the consequences of a head-on collision he caused by driving drunk. He realizes too late that not only did he die in the crash, he chose to run from the beckoning light of Heaven into a region of malicious spirits and their self-created hell. Manipulated by a master demon, he is trained to tempt and torment his living son. But his love for his family is not dead, and heaven has not forsaken him. Will he yield to God's efforts to rescue him from Hell? In a spiritual journey that spans dimensions of space and time, he must choose to let go of earthly attachments, accept God's perfect love, and reconcile his troubled relationship with his own father, who also suffers in Hell and needs his son's heart to turn to him. Inspired by hundreds of real near-death experiences, Hearts of the Fathers is a novel about how faith, family, and God's mercy can transcend death to provide hope for a new life after life.
