Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Mariana's Letter' is a cookbook written as you would write a note to a friend. This book comes from the many newsletters I wrote over the years. The recipes come from many sources but are mainly French and American. I have tried to stay away from recipes that have too many or hard to find ingredients or require too much to be done at the last minute. Recipes are often accompanied by stories, true or fictional. You do not have to be a cook to enjoy reading this book - only to enjoy the thought of a good meal and listening to a good story.I have always followed the rule that if one can not taste the recipe by reading it, it is better to discard it for one that tastes good in your head.I have spent some time in France as well as Washington, D.C., New York City and the Rangeley Lakes of Northwestern Maine and I come from a family of writers who loved to cook and tell stories.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - We say that the style is the man. Style as the soul of wit and wisdom is the person. The aphorism points to this memoir's author, Joseph Roccasalvo: refined, astute and ironic. Readers will envision him moving at a slight angle to family and friends, exuding his intelligence to wide benefit. He is at once scholar and believer. Although the events of his life may enlarge on his attainments, we value him best for his faith and hope. Like his namesake, Joseph, he's accounted a blessing.He avoids being confessional by his cool, robust, somewhat distant stance. If he's a practitioner of perfect prose, he's also practitioner of the perfect pose: linguist, novelist and orientalist; priest and playwright. He alarms us with the library he carries in his brain. He's the recorder of the secrets and longings, not only of his friends, but also of himself. The portraits in AS IT WERE issue a summons: 'You, dear reader, take note. We are questioning you. Do you claim a soul among the soulless who wander our culture lost You may yet be found.' This is the triumph of Roccasalvo's memoir told with singular purpose. It's a story of divine providence; of grace doled out during infancy which brings all things mysteriously to completion.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Through circumstances beyond our control, our family found ourselves in the Philippines in 1985. As a part of that circumstance we were going to have to share a house with another family, whom we did not know. The family was the Balitons, Mel and Ruth and at that time Willy was still living at home. How would this work Two families, two different cultural backgrounds, and one house Even people of the same cultural background have trouble living in the same place, but here we were, sowe were prepared to make the best of it until our visas could be straightened out for South Korea. Frankly, I dont remember one time when there was a conflict. We had some trouble keeping our children out of Aunt Ruth and Uncle Mels (which our children now in their 40s still call them) apartment area. But they knew they were always welcome. On numerous occasions we had the privilege of Filipino parties spilling out all over the house as Ruths good food was distributed and friends and family poured in. Because of the close proximity we were always treated as a part of the family, whatever the occasion. When moving day came, about a year later, and we went our separate ways as families, it was a day of sadness, a few tears were shed. During those days Mel was the Wesleyan Churchs National Treasurer, and I had the privilege of traveling all over Luzon with him on public transport. These were journeys of fellowship, sharing and learning from each other. It was a time blessed by the Lord as changes were coming into the Filipino Wesleyan Church. It was my privilege to have a very small part of that at the side of my friend and brother Mel Baliton. As I am sure you will see as his story unfolds, there is a kind firmness in all that Mel does. Once he knows what God wants, thats it then. I have heard him say that often when he was sure of something. There will be good humor and kindness for the human weakness of others, but once the path is known, the path is not strayed from, and Ruth will be right beside him all the way. If you dont know my friend Mel, you will be blessed by his life. If you do know him, you already have been. Dr. John H. Connor Pacific Area Director Global Partners.…
