will soon put an end to all such reports herself, by marrying some one of three or
four of our collegians, who are besieging her with their attentions. I feel very
grateful to ... I know his relish for pleasure and society, and sometimes fear that
the same facility of yielding to its seductions that has made him forget his promise
of writing to me, may make him forget his professions to my sister. If he were

When Sarah Carr's husband Jamie drowns, her young life is shattered and takes a turn that she never expected. Pregnant and now widowed, she reaches out to Jamie's family for help but they are unwilling. Instead they devise a plan to have her kidnapped and taken to the Colonies to live a life of servitude.

But Sarah's new life in the Colonies finds her surrounded by a family's whirlwind of secrets, while she hopes the young doctor she loves will bring her freedom.
The color fascinated the people of the village, who said their fire god had
bestowed it upon her. Some believed it had healing powers and would cut a lock
from the nape of her neck. Others thought it powerful magic and treated her kindly
for fear if they did not, bad luck would befall them. Many stones lighter than when
she was taken, Sarah's clothes hung loose over her frame. Her hands were raw
and red from hard work, and when she lifted the basket to her arm, the reeds
scraped ...
In The Dark Ages, three commoners were beset by mythical beings in a struggle for life or death as they passed through a forest known as Shadow Woods.
He was careful not to breathe too deeply, for he feared that even his breath might
be heard. He aimed the point of his sword to his left, gently rested one of the flat
sides of the blade against the leather he had hung over his left arm, and lowered
the hilt to the floor. Now with his right hand free, he reached into a small pouch
that was tied to his hip and hung along the side of his loincloth. When he
removed his hand from the pouch, he held within his grasp two objects. One
object was a ...
Here in the Luangwa Valley there were always birds and insects busy. They
rustled and rummaged among the dry- season grass and fallen leaves, or sang
from branches in the thorn scrub. This afternoon there was fear over everything
and everyone, like a strong spell. Larger animals had left the area, which might
be because of the gunfire. Smaller creatures must be here still, hidden like
himself. Death walked today in the bush. Raw liver and whiskey churned in his
stomach. Rustles ...

This collection of David Giuliano’s previously published articles and more recent writing is both a personal reflection on his own journey toward the heart of God and the journey being made by many mainline churches. The personal journey is one made through a valley of shadows carved out by cancer. The book invites readers to reflect on fear, faith, joy, and the encounter with the Holy One in their own lives and on the common life of the church. The book includes a study guide for personal or group use.

Gut-wrenching and profound in its depiction of flawed humanity, it forces us to turn our souls inside out and examine who we are ourselves. It offers an intimate glimpse into the writer's struggle against a system of injustices which the writer philosophically, intellectually and sometimes physically, rejects. It is a story that will touch the heart of the reader, and doubtless, as the writer hopes, 'find a refuge in your spirit.' It nudges us to employ the better angels of our nature while calling us to a higher place.
Or I might ask, “What view of myself is registering with her that could cause her to
respond to me so untruthfully? Why is she not honest? God, help me to be.
Perhaps there are many reasons why we are unable to reveal our true selves to
others. Among them are: fear of lack of acceptance, loss of human value or
prestige, fear of rejection, or awareness of our weaknesses. These are all natural
phenomena of the human condition, and I believe that most of us, if not all of us,
have ...

I am indeed admonished of this by study of my son, for whose children in turn this
tale is indited, and who is now able to remember many incidents of his youth--
chiefly beatings and like parental cruelties--which I know very well never
happened at all. He is good enough to forgive me these mythical stripes and
bufferings, but he nurses their memory with ostentatious and increasingly
succinct recollection, whereas for my own part, and for his mother's, our enduring
fear was lest we had ...

PLEASE... please understand that each man must write his OWN ending. Your
Valley will not be my Valley, or the next man's Valley. It is up to you to live,
explore, develop, and write your own Up- Valley story. If my story gives you hope,
so be it! If not, at least you will get some clues as to the changes that may be
coming your way. Have you given any thought to what lies ahead? I can give you
one sure answer... CHANGE! Several months into my Valley, it occurred to me
that whether or ...
