Als Heinrich Breling (1849-1914) sich 1907 endgültig mit seiner Familie in Fischerhude, dem Ort seiner Kindheit, niederließ, lag bereits ein bewegtes Leben hinter ihm. Nach dem Kunststudium in Hannover und der Teilnahme am Deutsch-Französischen Krieg 1870/71 wurde er Maler am Hof des bayerischen Königs Ludwig II. und Professor an der Münchner Kunstakademie. Später machte er sich als Historienmaler großformatiger Schlachtengemälde einen Namen. 0Dabei blieb er stets ein Suchender, der immer wieder neue künstlerische Wege beschritt und seine sechs Töchter ebenfalls darin bestärkte, ihre eigenen Wege zu gehen höchst ungewöhnlich in einer Zeit, in der die wenigsten Frauen ein selbstbestimmtes Leben führen durften.0Vor dem Hintergrund historischer Umwälzungen seiner Zeit entwirft Barbara D. Johnson auf Basis bisher unveröffentlichter Aufzeichnungen ein profund recherchiertes und lebendiges Porträt ihres Urgroßvaters und seiner Familie.0Mit zahlreichen Fotos und Dokumenten aus dem Familienarchiv

Devotions That Celebrate God's Gift of Grace
Women of Faith points you to the bedrock of grace. Grace describes things beyond your ability to earn or attain, gifts you can only gratefully receive from a God who lavishes them on you freely. With the same wit and insight that have characterized their previous devotionals such as Joy Breaks and Overjoyed! Patsy Clairmont, Barbara Johnson, Marilyn Meberg, Luci Swindoll, Sheila Walsh, and Thelma Wells shine a spotlight for you on grace. Grace that cleanses your sin. Grace that guides your life. Grace that weathers life's fiercest storms and stamps every cloud with the rainbow of God's promise. Grace to grieve and laugh, give and gain, love and live. Extravagant Grace. Here is a devotional filled with laughter as a rich as the insights are deep. Extravagant Grace celebrates God's liberating power at work in your circumstances, your relationships, your inner being, your marriage, your vocations, in all the things that matter most to you . . . and even in things that seem to be of little consequence. Extravagant Grace will encourage you to look for grace in all of life's seasons, come rains or shine -- and to give it away as freely and joyously as you receive it.
