Wampler’s message and meaning are clear, concise, and scripturally honed it is the heart cry of “Hunger” that resonates with its readers. “God’s Word’s in response to our hunger, both historically and contemporarily, empowers the cry of my unclad soul,” Wampler says. ![]() The reader will be challenged and changed by specifics in the Word of God about the current need for a hungry heart. Wampler says, “I believe and take to heart the scripture found in Luke, ‘Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be satisfied’ (Luke 6:21, NIV), which is the reason I crisscross the globe. In this timely book, “ Hunger ,” unsheathes a profound and gritty two-edged narrative that cuts to the Biblical heart of the matter. ![]() As an evangelist, Wampler crisscrossed the globe ministering to those who hunger and thirst for righteousness. ![]() – Aug– While many Christians and ministries strive tirelessly to share the love of God throughout the world by feeding the hungry, author-evangelist, Caleb Wampler, has penned a profoundly affecting new book confronting the desperate need for believers to be hungry. More than a deeply moving book, “Hunger” is a transfiguring encounter best described by its subtitle, “For Those Who Know There’s More.”ĬLERMONT, Fla. ![]() ![]() I hoped, like everything I make, that it would simply be honest. I feel like this might be my one chance to say this: I never meant for this novella to condone abusive relationships. ![]() ![]() I worry that it makes her seem foolish, to disregard Clarkson’s words and actions, and want him anyway. One of my worries about this novella is that it takes away something from Amberly. It would explain so many moments in her own Selection process and also make it easier to understand why she would be so keen to accept her son’s choice for a wife, even if her husband (and the country at large) had written her off. I think she genuinely believes that no one is bad on purpose, that every soul has some good in it, and she looks for it constantly. It was also amazing to see Amberly trying so hard to find the positive in him, and in his mother, despite her less-than-kind experiences. Watching the abuse and worry he dealt with firsthand made me see how time and fear could shape a person into someone who is, by most accounts, evil. It was interesting, to say the least, to see not only Amberly as a teenager but also Clarkson. So how did this magical woman fall for someone the likes of Clarkson Schreave? ![]() She’s charming, smart, gracious, beautiful and though she’s seen her share of sadness, she tries to be joyful. ![]() As a mother, I look at her with a sort of awe. This story was one I was kind of aching to discover myself. ![]() ![]() ![]() In 2003, full of trepidation, I posted off my first book, The Water Horse, a fictionalised account of Jane Evans who, in 1853, ran off to nurse with Florence Nightingale in Scutari. My first good fairy was the anonymous reader who was part of the Welsh Academi’s mentoring scheme where you paid, I think around £10, and an expert told you in effect whether your book stunk or had any merit at all. It implies an ongoing relationship, a deliberate attempt to get educated, whereas inspiration from other people seems to come in a flash, a sentence, an image of how we want to be.

I just think he wasn't a very discerning reader. ![]() (Ayn Rand sycophants and her most vociferous critics are the two groups in the world who think that the controversial author's ideas must be embraced or rejected in their entirety.) So I don't mind the idea that the Russian emigre's books shaped Ryan's word view. Too many Ayn Rand critics react to the mention of her name in the way that John Birch Society members react to an academic citing Karl Marx. What liberals always seize on is his statement, "I grew up reading Ayn Rand and it taught me quite a bit about who I am and what my value systems are, and what my beliefs are." That doesn't bother me in the least, for when I was 11 or 12, I plucked Atlas Shrugged off the family book shelf, where it sat beside The Lord of the Rings, Trinity, Tai-Pan, and Watership Down, and it taught me quite a bit, by which I mean that I gleaned useful insights from it, not that I took its every word as gospel. Paul Ryan's biography is a 2005 speech he gave at The Atlas Society, where he extolled author and philosopher Ayn Rand, particularly her magnum opus Atlas Shrugged. ![]() 7/5/2023 0 Comments Dawn by kevin brooks![]() In 2004 he published Kissing the Rain and Bloodline and I See You, Baby and Candy in 2005.
