Books with title Between the Roots

“Love. Hate. Peace. Three emotions made the ply of human life.”Between the Acts takes place on a June day in 1939 at Pointz Hall, the Oliver family’s country house in the heart of England. In the garden, everyone from the village has gathered to present the annual pageant—scenes from the history of England starting with the Middle Ages. As the story of England unfolds, the lives of the villagers also take shape. The past blends with the present and art blends with life in a narrative full of invention, affection, and lyricism. Through her characters' passionate musings and private dramas, and through the enigmatic figure of the pageant's author, Miss La Trobe, Virginia Woolf's final novel both celebrates and mocks Englishness. Even so, the coming of war looms over the whole community, heralding a new act.

We all have a beginning. We all have an end. It's what we do in the in-between that seals our eternal existence. John wrote, "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End" (Rev 22:13, NIV). "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty" (Rev 1:8, NIV). In our in-between, children, honor your mother and father. Parents, raise your children by the word of God. Live a quiet life, love one another, help those in need. "Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me" (Matthew 25:40, NIV). The in-between, the children we are blessed with are precious to us, only second to God. The in-between, the span in the middle of our lives connecting beginning to end, the name in the middle connecting the first and last, may our lives be rich with everything God has for us. We all have a choice, the free will to choose Jesus and eternal life, or to not choose Jesus and not eternal life. "Jesus is the way, and the truth, and the life" (John 14:6). It's faith alone in Christ alone that saves. Admit your sinful nature, believe Jesus is the Son of God, and confess your faith in Jesus as Lord and Savior. Grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ.
