Books with title Snow in Summer

Excerpt from Summer in SkyeMoreover, one is tired and jaded. The whole man, body and soul, like sweet bells jangled, out of tune, and harsh, is fagged with work, eaten up of impatience, and haunted with visions of vacation. One babbles 0' green fields, like a very Fal staff; and the poor tired ears hum with sea-music like a couple of sea-shells. At last it comes, the Ist of August, and then - like an arrow from a Tartar's bow, like a bird from its cage, like a lover to his mistress - one is off; and before the wild scar lets of sunset die on the northern sea, one is in the silence of the hills, those eternal sun-dials that tell the hours to the shepherd, and in one's nostrils is the smell of peat-reek, and in one's throat the flavour of usquebaugh. Then come long floating summer days, so silent the wilderness, that one can hear one's heart beat; then come long silent nights, the waves heard upon the shore, although z'kaz' is a mile away, in which one snatches the fearful joy of a ghost story, told by shepherd or fisher, who believes in it as in his own existence. Then one beholds sunset, not through the smoked glass of towns, but gloriously through the clearness of en kindled air. Then one makes acquaintance with sunrise, which to the dweller in a city, who con forms to the usual proprieties, is about the rarest of this world's sights.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Four siblings, ranging in age from five to seventeen years old, while on a summer hiking trip, notice something strange. A young girl on a distant hill was being bullied; the children began to pray. The girl was then pushed and started rolling down a hill, as the siblings ran to save her, the seasons magically began to change, from warm to cool, then cold, and finally freezing and the girl ends up on a frozen river. Once the children get to the young girl, now perched on the ice, the falling snow thickens and the children can’t see what is happening around them.“What’s going on?!” The girl screamed.“I don’t know,” the oldest boy in the group answered. “Trust God. He just supernaturally saved your life.”Join the children as they go on an amazing adventure where the miracles of God change their perceptions from doubting to faith and from death to life.“Summer Snowstorm by Drs.
