Ostatnie kaczę od narodzin odstawało od reszty. Za duże, za brzydkie, za bardzo różniło się od rodzeństwa. Było wyrzutkiem, którym wszyscy wokół pomiatali, nawet nie próbując go zrozumieć. Upór, waleczność i ciekawość świata sprawiły, że Brzydkie Kaczątko przeszło przemianę. Odnalazło prawdziwe piękno ukryte w nim samym.

Many ex-prisoners testified to the mental and physical courage that he showed protecting POWs from the worst excesses of their captors.

The popular view of Christianity today is a list of rules. The do's and don'ts seems to be what it is all about. But if that's what we think Christianity is all about, then we have a lot to learn. The key to understanding Christianity is not something we have to do, but rather something that Jesus Christ has already achieved on our behalf.

A sermon by Charles Spurgeon, in which he claims that Christ died out of sheer pity for the ungodly.

After losing her job, Sian goes to visit her brother on the island where he works, only to discover his hut in ruins and him nowhere to be found. Alone on a strange island, she takes the only path open to her - disguise herself as a man (obviously). It is whilst she is in this disguise that she catches the eye of the lovely Olivia, and the unwanted attention of her other suitors. All the Shakespearean hijinks set in the modern world, with all the annoying bits fixed. Or, what you will.

These promises are for every believer yet each will admit to not fully experiencing what is promised. Spurgeon helps us to appreciate that all God's promises are the birthright of each Christian. It is not presumptuous or unreal to expect to enjoy what God has promised. We are to measure what God can do by his generous promises, not by our level of expectation.

Using plain language and word pictures, Spurgeon shares an earnest word for those who are seeking salvation. It has been written to show clearly how much we all need grace and how much grace is available for our needs. The writer would like to compel us, by his words, to come to Jesus Christ and receive that grace. A classic on a great subject written by one of the greatest preachers who ever lived.

In this sermon, Spurgeon argues that Christ's triumph over Satan through the cross and resurrection provides the believer with the foundation for victory and gives hope and encouragement in the daily battles. He argues that Christ died out of pity for the human race.

The daughters of the merchants are dying. Panic has spread, and they are more than content to let their children be taken by this investigator from the mountains, for, they think it to be a hemorrhagic fever from the south. They are afraid of what might be brought into their doily parlors if "vigil for the dead" should be held in their homes. It is not a fever as I am given to understand, though he burns them anyway as is the mountain custom which we can all agree is a more poetic end.
