Leslie Allen Knihy

Vlnka je prastarý příběh o delfíní samičce, inspirovaný touhou naplnit intelektuální sen, který změnil celý vesmír. Toto vědecky přesné a emocionálně nabité dílo vás zaujme. Děj se odehrává v dávném podmořském světě, kde delfíni žijí v rodinách a společenstvích, komunikují, vzdělávají se a čelí dravcům i nejisté budoucnosti. Román patří do kategorie alegorií o zvířatech, která touží po výjimečnosti, podobně jako Bachův Racek Jonathan Livingston. Inspirací pro příběh je delfíní mozek, schopný zpracovávat zvuky desetkrát lépe než lidský, a fakt, že delfíni byli plně rozvinuti už před dvaceti miliony lety. Příběh obsahuje silný konflikt, hrůzostrašná stvoření a smrt, ale hlavním motivem je milostná zápletka, která ukazuje, jak Vlnčina láska obohacuje náš život dodnes. Kniha se dotýká i hudby a ukazuje, jak vlastně vznikla. Autorka Tui Allen, která vyrostla v Aucklandu, se inspirovala svými zkušenostmi s kytovci během plavby přes Tichý oceán. Vlnka je jejím prvním románem pro dospělé a byla pozitivně srovnávána s dílem Richarda Bacha. Recenze ji označují za „báseň v próze, lyrickou píseň“. V roce 2012 byla vybrána na Frankfurtský knižní veletrh jako reprezentantka Novozélandské společnosti autorů. Dílo je obtížně zařaditelné, lze je označit za beletrii mysli, těla a duše nebo mořskou environmentální fantazii.

"Before my conversion, I knew so little about God and his word, that I could not even quote John 3:16, nor name the four gospels. In the Methodist church where I was converted and of which I became a member, I was not taught to expect to be baptized with the Holy Ghost as the first disciples were on the day of Pentecost, nor to expect the signs mentioned in Mark 16:17,18 to follow me as a believer in the Lord. I was taught to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation, and was gloriously saved, and set free from condemnation for sin. Then as I searched the Scriptures, asking God to lead me to those readings from which I would receive the greatest benefit, the Lord began to reveal to me the truths of the baptism of the Holy Ghost, the signs following, the gifts of the spirit, and the supernatural things of God." Asa A. Allen was a controversial evangelist with a Pentecostal healing and deliverance ministry. He was associated with the "Voice of Healing" movement founded by Gordon Lindsay. Allen became one of the first to develop a national television ministry. His television programs frequently included excerpts from his "healing line" ministry.

This scholarly study presents a new political Wordsworth: an artist interested in 'autonomous' poetry's redistribution of affect.

He renders poetry a critical instrument that, through acute feeling, can evaluate public and private life.

I make no apology for the Bible! I make no apology for the way people shout and praise God in these meetings. I make no apology for the loud noise of hundreds of people clapping their hands in praise! People shout, sing, and dance in the Spirit in these meetings. I will not apologize for the way children of God who attend our meetings talk in tongues and prophesy! I have no apology for God's Word! I cannot apologize for what God declared we ought to be receiving and enjoying today! Asa A. Allen was a controversial evangelist with a Pentecostal healing and deliverance ministry.
