Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Selected from among approximately 1,700 poems that Ralph Vile, a Christian layman and former schoolteacher of Luray, Virginia, wrote over a period of more than fifty years, this book focuses on the holiday during which Christians throughout the world observe the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem. Drawing from the Biblical accounts, Ralph reflects on what it means that Jesus came to earth and on what it would mean if He had chosen not to do so. The volume includes, 'The Christmas Tree,' 'Let the Bells Ring Out,' 'The Christmas Gospel Story,' and many others that have touched those who have read them. Written for individuals who want to celebrate the true meaning of Christmas, this volume reflects the love, the joy, and the hope of God's greatest gift to mankind and points to the redemption that the crucified and risen Savior provides to all who believe in Him.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Ralph Vile of Luray, Virginia, presents poems that he wrote from 1945 to 1961. This period encompassed his service in the U.S. Navy, college and seminary education, marriage and family, a call to the mission field, ill health, and a return to the Shenandoah Valley, where he and his wife, Joanna Griffith Vile, now live. They taught in public schools for many years and have been active laypersons at Mt. Carmel Regular Baptist Church. Ralph's poems center on the themes of home, family, God, Bible, church, and community. The author records his struggles with God's providence and his faith in His care. Even as they provide a backward glance at a time now gone by, these poems look confidently ahead to the future. They focus both on the beautiful visible world of nature and on the even more precious, once invisible, Word that was made flesh and dwelt among us.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Just as the biblical book of Proverbs reveals the wisdom of an ancient king of Israel who dedicated himself to Jehovah in his youth, so too this book presents the wit and wisdom of a modern school teacher and church leader who committed himself to Christ at the age of seven. Compiled, arranged, and edited by Ralph Vile's eldest son, John, this book contains some 2,500 of Ralph's aphorisms from a fifty-year period, arranged under more than 200 topics covering the range of practical and spiritual living. A unique mix of universal truths and deeply held personal opinions from a man with a good sense of humor who loves both rhymes and paradoxical word plays, this book will amuse, challenge, and inspire general readers as it provides insights, illustrations, and reflections for pastors and speakers. RALPH VILE has spent most of his life in Luray, Virginia in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley. Born in Colonial Beach, Virginia and committing his life to God at the age of seven, Ralph served in the U.S. Navy and attended college where he met his wife Joanna. After brief service on the mission field in Costa Rica, the couple returned with their growing family to Virginia. There they began teaching in public schools as they raised five children and two grandchildren; furthered their educations; and served God through music, teaching, and in other leadership capacities at the Mt. Carmel Regular Baptist Church. Ralph has been writing poems, some of which have been collected in Xulon's We Are His Poets (the first volume of Valley Verses) and Let the Bells Ring Out on Christmas Morning, and proverbs for more than fifty years.…
