Bücher von Marion Dearman

Journeys have a beginning and an end, but so much more happens along the way. Becoming lost in life's everyday moments can often discourage and frustrate us so that we lose sight of our final destination. Author Marion Dearman in Destination Heaven writes of moments in her life that God used to strengthen her faith. As you read her book, learn how God takes each day with its laughter, joy, and sorrow to build a stronger relationship with him if we will just be still and listen.

Beginning with the invention of movable type in the 15th century, itinerant artisans roamed the highways and byways of the world, working where and when they pleased. It all ended five centuries later, when computer typesetting replaced humans. Mark Twain, Bret Harte, Horace Greely (along with legions of much less famous printers) plied their trade and enjoyed adventures as tramp printers until it all suddenly vanished in the mid 1970s. A sociological study, as seen through the eyes of tramp printers themselves. Footloose and carefree, these adventurers enjoyed 500 years of freedom, working where and when they pleased. A vanished breed, today they live on through recollections, anecdotes, and memories of how it used to be, when printers worked with "real type."
