Steven James
Medallion Book Award. Before he began writing and speaking fulltime, he had diverse experiences working as a wilderness guide, museum educator, camp director and youth pastor. • In 2004 Steven turned his attention to exploring the relationship of faith, imagination and the Christian story. As a result of his research, he wrote the poetic and highly compelling 2006 release Story: Recapture the Mystery. His intimate look at the paradoxes of faith, Sailing Between the Stars: Musings on the Mysteries of Faith, was released in September 2006. • Always exploring beyond the horizon, Steven has recently delved into writing fiction and suspense. His book Quest for Celestia (Tyndale 2006), is an epic fantasy adventure that reimagines and breathes fresh life into John Bunyan’s spiritual classic, The Pilgrim’s Progress. Steven is a member of the International Thriller Writers. His debut novel of psychological suspense, The Pawn, reached #10 on the CBA fiction bestsellers list. • The next thriller, The Rook, will be released August first 2008.
Romantic or not, the result of love will be getting into marriage. And I’m sure many of you must have heard of a famous saying which says “Marriage is the tomb of love. ” Because once a man and a woman marry, they ’ ll have to live together. Then they’ll have to accept and adapt to the differences and distance between being together and living together. They’ll have to face the endless chores in daily life and plan for their money together. Those will unavoidably lead to disagreements and even give rise to quarrels.
Speaking of love, there’s too much to say. But we can’t actually talk about it without mentioning romance. Isn’t a fine dinner in a luxury restaurant with lit candles attractive? Isn’t a bunch of red roses in the morning surprising? Isn’t sweet words that almost have your heart melted touching? The answer will absolutely be “yes”. I, however, think that romance will only play a little part in love. I’ve never been in love, therefore I don’t know how important romance really means for a couple who love each other enthusiastically. If I have a chance to choose, I’ll prefer rational love and sense of responsibility instead of romance.
I’ll Never Understand My Wife
• Author: Steven James • Retelling the story.
• Scanning to answer the questions(P4):
Question 1: How could a man and his wife get along well when they have very different habits? Question 2: What is the key to a long lasting love?
After reading this article, the same question that I’ve thought millions of times occurred to me again, “What kind of marriage will I have and what kind of family will I raise in the future?” I admire those who have successful careers as well as happy families. Gradually I understand that, love or family, just like career, needs our careful management.In recent years, people’s concept on marriage has changed. People now marry because of love, rather than the arrangement of parents or some sort of responsibility. But it doesn’t mean that we shouldn ’ t take responsibility in marriage. Marriage is more than a red certification announcing that you’re man and wife. It also means that one has to be responsible for his or her spouse, as well as the new family.
• From an early age, Steven's vivid imagination and questioning spirit have led him to explore the boundaries of faith and spirituality, as well as the deep paradoxes of good and evil. This comes through clearly in his evocative, highly-acclaimed nonfiction and fast-paced novels of fantasy and suspense. • As an acclaimed author and one of the nation's most innovative storytellers, Steven shares his unique blend of drama, comedy and inspirational speaking at conferences, churches, schools and special events around the country. When Steven completed his Master of Arts in Storytelling in 1997, there were fewer than 100 people in the world with that degree. Since then, he has been in demand throughout the country as a conference presenter, family entertainer and performance storyteller, appearing more than 1,500 times throughout North America, Europe and Asia. • Since 2000, James has penned more than 20 books and recorded 4 CDs of children's stories. His books and recordings have won numerous awards, including a nomination for an ECPA Gold
I’ll Never Understand My Wife This story mainly talked about some details in the author’s marriage. He never understands the way his wife deals with everyday life, but he knows when to be silent and to respect her way of doing things. Then on a morning as normal as always, however, he realized suddenly that how much his wife had sacrificed and contributed to this family during the long time of four years without any complain. Though still he couldn’t understand his wife, he realizes that he has a very good wife. He also happily finds out that their daughter will also be a good wife for someone in the future just like her mother.
