“Faith, in general, of whatever kind mention is made in the Holy Scriptures, is an assent to, or a certain knowledge of what is revealed concerning God, his will, works, and grace, in which we confide upon divine testimony. It is employed to signify the most extreme distress and anguish.” ( ) “But providence is the eternal, most free, immutable, wise, just and good counsel of God, according to which he effects all good things in his creatures permits also evil things to be done, and directs all, both good and evil, to his own glory and the salvation of his people.” ( ) The substance of this comfort consists in this that we are ingrafted into Christ by faith, that through him we are reconciled to, and beloved of God, that thus he may care for and save us eternally.” ( ) On this account, all divine truth has been revealed by God, and is especially to be studied by us. The design is, that we may be led to the attainment of sure and solid comfort, both in life and death. “The question of comfort is placed, and treated first, because it embodies the design and substance of the catechism. “The substance of our comfort therefore is briefly this:-That we are Christ’s, and through him reconciled to the Father, that we may be beloved of him and saved, the Holy Ghost and eternal life being given unto us.” ( )

"Detailed account of America's war effort in the Pacific in WWII. He offers an unrivaled firsthand account of World War II in the Pacific: of what it looked like, sounded like, smelled like, and most of all, what it felt like to one who underwent all but the ultimate of its experiences.

In his dreams he lived with the recurring image of himself as a battle-weary youth "angrily demanding to know what had happened to the three decades since he had laid down his arms."

As a matter of fact, the main point is to challenge the idea of productivity and what it actually means. It is important to note that “doing nothing” is not associated with merely taking a vacation or some time off before returning to the work post and becoming more productive by optimizing the work process. However, this is actually an action plan. The “nothing” which is proposed here can be construed as “truly nothing” by a capitalist society that condemns and punishes lack of productivity. These individuals are often perceived as unproductive and less significant because they are not pressured into optimizing every aspect of life.ĭoing nothing, which is by no means a call for inertness and indifference, in the strongest sense, is an act of political resistance to the attention economy. This world leaves very little space for authors, thinkers, artists, and dreamers. In our predominantly materialistic world, people are becoming increasingly obsessed with productivity and financial gains. The couple realizes they must compromise or part ways, but a tragic accident shakes their decision.

One person knows Levi’s talents: Mary Hershberger, the girl who promised years ago to keep his secret. Levi asks God often why music tempts him when playing an instrument isn’t allowed in his world. His strict Amish community forbids instruments or the singing of any music not in their approved songbook. Musical prodigy Levi Shetler hasn’t touched a piano since he secretly played one many years ago. Their love of forbidden music brings them together, but it could be what tears them apart.
