“How do we recognize the moment our future has been written for us? In To Keep the Sun Alive, as the Islamic Revolution looms just outside the gate of an Iranian family orchard, Rabeah Ghaffari has built a world so lush, so precise that you will find yourself rewriting history if only to imagine it could still exist.”—Mira Jacob, author of The Sleepwalker’s Guide to Dancing "[A] tenderhearted début novel . . . A wide–ranging narrative, showing the enduring ramifications of filial and political violence." —The New Yorker The year is 1979. The Iranian Revolution is just around the corner. In the northeastern city of Naishapur, a retired judge and his wife, Bibi–Khanoom, continue to run their ancient family orchard, growing apples, plums, peaches, and sour cherries. The days here are marked by long, elaborate lunches on the terrace where the judge and his wife mediate disputes between aunts, uncles, nieces, and nephews that foreshadow the looming national crisis to come. Will the monarchy survive the revolutionary tide gathering across the country? Will the judge’s brother, a powerful cleric, take political control of the town or remain only a religious leader? And yet, life goes on. Bibi–Khanoom’s grandniece secretly falls in love with the judge’s grandnephew and dreams of a career on the stage. His other grandnephew withers away on opium dreams. A widowed father longs for a life in Europe. A strained marriage slowly unravels. The orchard trees bloom and fruit as the streets in the capital grow violent. And a once–in–a–lifetime solar eclipse, set to occur on one of the holiest days of year, finally causes the family—and the country—to break. Told through a host of unforgettable characters, ranging from servants and young children to intimate friends, To Keep the Sun Alive reveals the personal behind the political, reminding us of the human lives that animate historical events.
Heavenly Father is a prayer devotional that was created and written for people who would sometimes lose faith to the point where they don’t even feel like praying anymore. I recorded these prayers into this book, because each one of them broke down a wall before me by God’s grace. That’s when I realized the power of prayer, and became sure that My Heavenly Father always listens and delivers. At times, while in your sorrows, you may not really know what to say in your prayer. But having this book in your hand, you will be able to read the prayers and hopefully they will keep you going. This book is to lead people to pray in any season in their lives. You will not only find prayers that give you strength, but you will also be able to reflect on some very poingnant passages of Scripture which will cause you to be transparent while others will just remind you of the unequivocal prowess of the God you serve.
A Vermonter rambles through the writing field for nearly three-quarters of a century. During the first part the flow in the field grows a crop of poetry. Then the course of growing produces a large quantity of messages delivered on Sunday mornings in a number of Vermont churches. Portion three of the field grows a limited crop of essays. In the final little corner of the field some small seeds of Christmas "editorials" from the "Brennan Chronicle" spring up and flourish. For more specific details, select for reading those portions which appeal to your interests.
