Because of its ambiguous nature the Tao Te Ching is famously difficult to translate, and many, if not all, translations are significantly influenced by the translatorâs state of mind. Subjects range from advice to those in power to advice to regular people and adages for daily living. The work itself is a series of 81 short poetic sections, each one written in a fluid, ambiguous style, leaving them open to wide interpretation. Today itâs one of the most-translated works in the world. While its authorship is debated, the text remains a fundamental building block of Taoism and one of the most influential works of its time. The Tao Te Ching is a classic Chinese text written around the 6th century BC by Laozi, a Zhou-dynasty courtier. ![]() Standard EbooksĢ5,290 words (1 hour 32 minutes) with a reading ease of 67.28 (average difficulty) Translated by James Legge - Free ebook download - Standard Ebooks: Free and liberated ebooks, carefully produced for the true book lover. ![]()

I loved this vibe and found it very fitting for the main premise of the story, which explores how far a person will go to secure a happily ever after for themselves. As the title hints with its “once upon a time” tease, Once Upon a Broken Heart has a fairytale-like feel to it.

The subtlety of Peterson's faith was grounded in a heartfelt fondness for metaphor and a steadfast commitment to the poetry inherent in the Bible. His translation, which resonated deeply with millions worldwide, became an instrumental force in shaping the perspectives of pastors, teachers, and readers across generations. Disrupting the passive reading habits, he dove into the extraordinary task of rendering the entire Bible into a more accessible language. Peterson's quiet discontent with the limited manner his congregants engaged with the Bible led to a significant undertaking. ![]() ![]() His pastoral ministry spanned nearly three decades, a setting where one might discover worn volumes by writers such as Wallace Stegner or Denise Levertov subtly mingled with sacred texts. “Prayers are tools not for doing or getting, but for being and becoming,” he once reflected. Eugene Peterson, the late revered teacher and interpreter of the Bible, held a profound understanding of the purpose of prayer. ![]() ![]() ![]() The monotone quality to a lot of the art is accompanied by bright pops of color to add effect or emphasis, which really added to the spooky atmosphere created by each of the 5 tales included in the book.
