DOWNLOAD EBOOKAutobiographical sketches and stories from India's best-loved writer in English. For over four decades now, by way of innumerable short stories, essays, poems and novels, Ruskin Bond has championed simplicity and quietude in life and in art. This collection of essays and episodes from his journals is, in his own words, "a celebration of my survival as a freelance'. The author's early forays into the literary magazines of the 1950s and '60s are described in the first part of the book, along with some examples of his work at the time. The sections that follow contain extracts from an unpublished travel journal he kept during the '60s, episodes from the highways on which he was a frequent traveller, and vignettes of life in Mussoorie, past and present. With understated humour and compassion, Ruskin Bond records the charming eccentricities of friends and acquaintances (a former princess cheerfully obsessed with death and disaster); the silent miracles of nature ("New moon in a purple sky'); life's little joys (the smell of onions frying) and its fleeting regrets. Nostalgic and heart-warming, full of wisdom and charm, The Lamp is Lit provides a fascinating glimpse into the life of "our very own resident Wordsworth in prose.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK“The Faith Keeper sheds light on how God uses everyday circumstances in our lives to draw us close to Him and how He works through prayer—the fervent prayers of faithful saints, and those humble, honest cries of our hearts. Kendra Shields, Domestic Field Manager, Samaritan’s Purse/Operation Christmas Child A young woman is involved in a potentially life threatening car accident, but her life is mysteriously spared, changing her path forever. Long down the road, despite her strong faith, she becomes overwhelmed with sorrow and suffering and life’s demands. She wonders if God is truly enough. As she searches for answers, she is challenged by scripture to “wake from her slumber” (Romans 13:11). A rescue prayer forms on her lips testifying to a renewed longing to trust in her Saviour. Life altering circumstances follow. Will she find the courage to surrender to Jesus Christ, who has never stopped keeping her faith?
