DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe fifteen short stories in this collection immerse readers in rural Ireland. They are full of singing and laughing, pranks and family disputes, desperation and comfort. Mike Mac Domhnaill's distinctive voice and prose-poetry-like writing style bring to life characters both familiar and vivid. He makes the visceral pain of grieving real, and forcefully reminds readers of the disconnect between memory and reality, and how that disparity has its own healing power. The stories in Sifting are marked by an authenticity of character and dialogue, and peppered with references to Irish history and culture. 'These people, places and situations are wonderfully observed; full of the wry humour and the lilt and roll of west Limerick. There is a richness and a verisimilitude to the dialogue and a natural rhythm to the language that draws in and holds the reader, who becomes an eavesdropper, present but unseen.' —Donal Ryan, author of The Spinning Heart Mike Mac Domhnaill won RTÉ's Francis MacManus Short Story Award in 2013. He has had numerous poems and short stories published, in Nua-Aois, An Cloigeann is a Luach, The Stony Thursday Book, Microphone On, Dal gCais, LÁ, Weekly Observer, Limerick Leader and Feasta. He has two books of poetry: Mac Baintrí/Widow's Son (2009) and Macalla Maidu (2013). He lives in Newcastle West, County Limerick.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKTony Crypt and Paul Elliott are brilliant, poverty-stricken teenagers living in the Bronx at the helm of the Second World War. As they grow up in a swelling wake of loss, a tunnelled path of engulfing research paves their way forward: they gain insight into the trajectories of souls and memories when someone dies. As Tony and Paul desperately deepen their understanding of the composition and malleability of these trajectories, their research falls into the wrong hands — a fearful government, frantic for the ability to sift through and control a tainted past and the path of knowledge. As Tony and Paul battle with an arrested ability to alter the outcome of their actions, two talented young people with arduous pasts are accosting the barriers of time and circumstance, connecting each line between Tony, Paul, their research, and the hands it should be left in. A swirling of the boundaries of neuroscience, astrophysics, and poetry, The Sifting Project characterizes the biological path of love, trust, loss, control, and legacy within the memories of time. The Sifting Project teaches tensions like non-fiction, illustrates experiences and observations like a memoir, and loves like that one story you'll never forget. It's the excuse you need to read fiction and forget that work exists. This story will remind you that the essence of who you are — your memories, experiences, and truths — is what makes you irreplaceable in the narrative of change. When you do the work to listen to yourself and others, you can lift both history and the future. You are The Sifting Project of today. Be the voice of the truth.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKSifting Through the Ashes is a purge of normal day words and phrases spilled onto the page in complete randomness. In its deepest sense of themes, Ive discovered a more cohesive way to explore the creative process. Ive strayed from my more logical workings to a more budding body of beautification. The themes are set from rhyming couplets to story telling stanzas. The lines are more likeable because of the sound Ive procured. And the lines also find their identity through the meanings of each word. All in all, Sifting Through the Ashes is a great attempt to perfect the English word.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKSifting Your Life, and Gathering Pearls is the manifestation of more than six decades of poetry and prose, and the love of written and spoken word. Readers are witness to an elegantly crafted, and at times stark, slideshow of the American south, from The Great Depression, through World War II and Vietnam, while still settling into quip and delightful remembrances of what true friendship and compassion look like over decades of caring. Realist and Renaissance Woman merged, she has a gift for capturing the spectrum of blessings, joy, and grief, as well as highlighting the segregated south and cultural hypocrisy we continue to encounter today. Bringing forth from her ancestors, the strength, compassion, and resolve to bring balance to social inequality, Joy’s writings about her own friends and family bring full-circle the impressions of seeing the raw realness of human beings ... family and stranger alike. This collection of poetry nudges readers to a higher awareness in their interactions with one another and with the world.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAt the end of the 1740s, the Moravians, a young and rapidly expanding radical-Pietist movement, experienced a crisis soon labeled the Sifting Time. As Moravian leaders attempted to lead the church away from the abuses of the crisis, they also tried to erase the memory of this controversial and embarrassing period. Archival records were systematically destroyed, and official histories of the church only dealt with this period in general terms. It is not surprising that the Sifting Time became both a taboo and an enigma in Moravian historiography. In A Time of Sifting, Paul Peucker provides the first book-length, in-depth look at the Sifting Time and argues that it did not consist of an extreme form of blood-and-wounds devotion, as is often assumed. Rather, the Sifting Time occurred when Moravians began to believe that the union with Christ could be experienced not only during marital intercourse but during extramarital sex as well. Peucker shows how these events were the logical consequence of Moravian teachings from previous years. As the nature of the crisis became evident, church leaders urged the members to revert to their earlier devotion of the blood and wounds of Christ. By returning to this earlier phase, the Moravians lost their dynamic character and became more conservative. It was at this moment that the radical-Pietist Moravians of the first half of the eighteenth century reinvented themselves as a noncontroversial evangelical denomination.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIt doesn't matter who we are or what our accomplishments in life are; we are absolutely no good to God until we submit to the sifting of God. The enemy of your soul would do everything to keep you from being totally submissive to God and His will for your life. Surviving the Sifting of God is a hard-hitting truth that causes every believer to examine themselves in their walk with the Lord. God transforms lives when they are willing to allow him to touch anything that Satan has secretly placed there to be a stumbling block to them. Surviving the Sifting of God uses ordinary biblical characters to point out how Satan will attempt to come against you to prevent you from accomplishing God's ultimate purpose for your life. Peter, the man that Jesus would call to be the first pastor of the New Testament church would face the sifter and would fail miserably! The good news is that Jesus promised him that He had already prayed for him. Through the sifting process Peter learned that there was an unfailing faith in a failing situation. Johnny Willis, author of Servant Worthy, is a successful pastor with cutting-edge mentorship and teaching skills spanning more than thirty-nine years. He is a graduate with a doctorate in theology from Springs of Life Bible College. His studies and experiences come to life in Surviving the Sifting of God.
