Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Noor is an anthropomorphic anglerfish who lives in the idyllic kingdom of Ellycium, where he leads a peaceful life gathering gemstones and worshipping king Quzah. Noor’s life is pretty uninteresting except for the fact that his esca, the colorful orb floating above his head, is rainbow colored, unlike the rest of the anglerfish who have unicolored escas. Noor’s distinctive esca color, coupled with certain unexplained events and rituals in Ellycium, push him to question his own identity as well as the reality behind the kingdom’s myths and mysterious king. His quest for truth causes division among the anglerfish and leads him on a journey to the legendary emerald mountain of Kaf where he uncovers some astonishing secrets about the true ruling cabal and about himself. Inspired by Arabian mythology and Sufi beliefs, this story explores the mystery of the spiritual aspect of existence and the theme of uncontrolled technological progress.
Download or read book The Saving Line written by Márton Dornbach and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 2020-12-15 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Walter Benjamin and Theodor Adorno both turned to canonical literary narratives to determine why the Enlightenment project was derailed and how this failure might be remedied. The resultant works, Benjamin’s major essay on Goethe’s Elective Affinities and Adorno’s meditation on the Odyssey in Dialectic of Enlightenment, are centrally concerned with the very act of narration. Márton Dornbach’s groundbreaking book reconstructs a hitherto unnoticed, wide-ranging dialogue between these foundational texts of the Frankfurt School. At the heart of Dornbach’s argument is a critical model that Benjamin built around the concept of caesura, a model Adorno subsequently reworked. Countering an obscurantism that would become complicit in the rise of fascism, the two theorists aligned moments of arrest in narratives mired in unreason. Although this model responded to a specific historical emergency, it can be adapted to identify utopian impulses in a variety of works. The Saving Line throws fresh light on the intellectual exchange and disagreements between Benjamin and Adorno, the problematic conjunction of secular reason and negative theology in their thinking, and their appropriations of ancient and modern legacies. It will interest scholars of philosophy and literature, critical theory, German Jewish thought, classical reception studies, and narratology.
Download or read book Unafraid written by Adam Hamilton and published by Convergent Books. This book was released on 2018-03-13 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn how to face and overcome the fears we feel about loneliness, illness, financial insecurity, disappointing others, failure, insignificance, and aging “A thoughtful, literate, faith-filled guide to reclaiming our minds and our lives.”—John Ortberg, senior pastor of Menlo Church and author of I’d Like You More If You Were More Like Me You’d be hard-pressed to overstate the extent to which fear, anxiety, and worry permeate our lives today. Fear wreaks havoc on our relationships and communities. It leads us into making bad decisions. It holds us back from the very pursuits that promise fulfillment and joy. As the senior pastor of a large, diverse church in America’s heartland, Adam Hamilton has seen the cost of fear up close. When he surveyed his congregation on how fear affects them, 2,400 people responded—and what they said was eye-opening. Eighty percent admitted to living with moderate or significant levels of fear. Unafraid is Hamilton's insightful and impassioned response. Drawing on recent research, inspiring real-life examples, and fresh biblical insight, Hamilton uses a mixture of facts and faith to help readers understand and counter fears related to such outsize perils as death and illness, as well as the everyday anxieties all of us encounter. He invites us to: Face our fears with a bias of hope Examine our fears in light of the facts Attack our anxieties with action Release our cares to God Writing with generosity and intelligence, Hamilton shows how believer and unbeliever alike can develop sustaining spiritual practices and embrace Jesus’s recurring counsel: “Do not be afraid.” For anyone struggling with fear or wondering how families and communities can thrive in troubled times, Unafraid offers an informed and inspiring message full of practical solutions.

Download or read book Forty Nine Truths and the Pentecost written by John D. Richie and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2000-08-21 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work results from years of studying God's Word and observation of the current trends in Christianity. The problem with Christianity today is that it has forgotten that the battle is not with those without, but with the foolishness, sin, and unbelief in the believer. The forty-nine truths contained herein appear to be the most neglected in this age. Considering that God's Word is not open to personal interpretation, each Scripture quotation is left to individual understanding through the visitation of the Holy Spirit. Although some explanation is given, my intent is to guide the reader toward understanding; and not to impose upon them my own understanding. It is perhaps ironic that many Christians professing Jesus to be their Lord and Master may spend eternity in a place they would not desire. God's Word states that a follower of Jesus that does not keep his sayings will not inherit the kingdom of heaven. The truths discussed herein are the sayings of Jesus, not mine. The Pentecost follows these forty-nine truths. It is a day that is in the future. It will be a happy day for many, but the road thereto is troubled with much tribulation.

Download or read book Tell It Like It Is written by Roy Peter Clark and published by Little, Brown Spark. This book was released on 2023-04-11 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America's favorite writing coach and bestselling author returns with an "indispensable" guide (Diana K. Sugg, Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter) to writing clearly and honestly in a world full of lies, propaganda, and misinformation. The darker and more dystopian the future appears, the more influential public writers become. But with so much content vying for our attention, and so much misinformation and propaganda polluting public discourse, how can writers break through the noise to inform an increasingly busy, stressed, and overwhelmed audience? In Tell It Like It Is, bestselling author, writing coach, and teacher Roy Peter Clark offers a succinct and practical guide to writing with clarity, honesty, and conviction. By analyzing stellar writing samples from a diverse collection of public writers, Clark highlights and explains the tools journalists, scientists, economists, fact-checkers, even storytellers use to engage, inform, and hook readers, and how best to deploy them in a variety of contexts. In doing so, he provides answers to some of the most pressing questions facing writers today: How do I make hard facts—about pandemics, wars, natural disasters, social justice—easy reading? How do I get readers to pay attention to what they need to know? How do I help contribute to a culture of writing that combats misinformation and propaganda? How do I instill hope into the hearts and minds of readers? With Clark's trademark wit, insight, and compassion, Tell It Like It Is offers a uniquely practical and engaging guide to public writing in unprecedented times—and an urgently needed remedy for a dangerously confused world.
