Doris Curtis, a retired English teacher and now in her 80's, first developed a keen interest in laconic quotations in the 1960's when she began posting them on the blackboard of her classroom. In the 1980's she began scribbling quotations down in her journals and daily planners. For many years her friends suggested that she compile her quotations in a book. However, it wasn't until April 2010, that she and her son Bryan (co-author) began the arduous task of compiling the quotations as well as identifying the source of each quotation. During the compilation exercise Bryan also found additional insightful quotations which have been included as well. This is Doris' first book.

It answers questions about how to ask for help and about how prayer (as he now understands it) can help one grow through depression.

Download or read book The Science and Theology of Godly Love written by Matthew T. Lee and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2012-06-15 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arguing that there are ways to move beyond the limitations of methodological atheism without compromising scientific objectivity, the essays gathered in The Science and Theology of Godly Love explore the potential for collaboration between social science and theology. They do so within the context of the interdisciplinary study of Godly Love, which examines the perceived experience of loving God, being loved by God, and thereby being motivated to engage in selfless service to others. This volume serves as an introduction to and a call for further research in this new field of study, offering ten methodological perspectives on the study of Godly Love written by leading social scientists and theologians. Drawing on the work of Douglas Porpora and others, the contributors contend that agnosticism is the appropriate methodological stance when religious experience is under the microscope. Godly Love does not force a theistic explanation on data, instead these essays show that it sensitizes researchers so that they can take seriously the faith and beliefs of those they study without the assumption that these theologies represent an incontestable truth.
