Автор: Heidebrecht Marg Название: In the Shade: Friendship, Loss, and the Bruce Trail ISBN: 1525560158 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781525560156 Издательство: Неизвестно Рейтинг: Цена: 21450.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: An 885-kilometre trail, 53 hiking days over 4 years. Think mild, not wild. Reflections on the walking, the talking and, ultimately, the losing of friends.
Pam and Marg stepped away from their "to do" lists and onto the Bruce Trail. Read their tips for packed lunches and no-nonsense fashion, then follow the author's subsequent journey as she steps back to weave together the disparate topics of friendship, loss, and the value of forests. Lyrical and insightful, these essays will engage anyone who loves nature and people, who prefers moving ahead to sitting still. People who hike, on local or distant trails, will relate to the specifics of contour maps, shuttling, buying the right size boots. People who enjoy activities accompanied by a good friend will relate to the bond that develops and deepens. People experiencing loss will relate to the restlessness and confusion that follows heartbreak. This book begins as "How to" but develops into "What now?" as Marg turns to words as a way of making sense of the world around her, steadying herself after the loss of a close friend....

In November 1869 the ship Electra sails from Amsterdam. On board is a young missionary Heinrich Dirks, together with his wife Aganetha, who are supposed to begin a new missionary work on the distant island of Sumatra. In the southern part of Batak territory, where Islam is advancing rapidly, their task is to found a new mission station and preach the Gospel. Most of the Batak are still heathen. They worship the spirits of the dead (begus), and are considered to be one of the last cannibalistic tribes in the world. A number of them have turned to Islam. There is not a single Christian in southern Batak-Land.
The passengers on the ship are very surprised at the plans of the young missionary. Most do not see any sense in doing missionary work among the native people and declare his task to be an impossible vision. "They should send more cannon and soldiers there and not such harmless missionaries," says an older gentleman. Another one observes: "The savages cannot help being the way they are, but to change them is impossible."
Will the young missionary succeed in reaching the distant island? Will any indigenous person become a Christian?
A true story that challenges and encourages us to dare the seemingly impossible for God.
