Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teacher Emily Davis spent her summer vacation from school searching for people and places to inspire her reluctant students. She found inspiration in the culture of Native Americans which was envisioned by a Native American in Wisconsin. Thus began Emily's INDIAN SUMMER. Over the course of weeks, she had many encounters with Native Americans which finally led to a lifethreatening episode in the fictional town of Kangee, South Dakota. She was rescued by the Tribal Policeman, a Native American, who Emily realized would become much more than a friend. As INDIAN SUMMER ended, Emily was retelling her adventure to her best friend. It was obvious there was much more to Emily's story, which led to A TALE OF TWO WEDDINGS. In A TALE OF TWO WEDDINGS, Emily has to leave Kangee and her new Mr. Right, to serve as Maid of Honor for her Best Friend Rosie, a promise she is determined to keep. Both Emily and Ben are earnest about their feelings for each other and vow to keep in touch. Emily continues her journey through Mount Rushmore and Yellowstone before having more trouble that is again resolved by a Native American. The first of the two weddings takes place in Las Vegas as Rosie weds her fianc Roger. Trouble continues to follow Emily there before she gets back home. Emily faces the school year resolutely, but continues to talk with Ben over the phone and with e-mail. There are school problems as well as holiday problems before there can finally be a second wedding.

This laugh out loud and heartwarming romantic comedy from bestselling author Meghan Quinn will keep you on the edge of your feet as you fall in love with the second book in the Dating by Numbers Series. **CAN BE READ AS A STANDALONE** I don't know what love is anymore. Well, that's not entirely true, but I'm going to tell you a little secret: I've lost the spark. You know the kind of spark I'm talking about? Where butterflies take flight in your stomach from two hands innocently colliding. Or catching your breath when you first meet someone attractive. Yeah, that spark. Except I haven't felt that feeling in forever; there is nothing left inside of me. Normally, this wouldn't be a problem--but I'm a writer on a serious deadline, and my editor is breathing down my neck for a romantic, Nicholas Sparks type love story. No pressure, right? That's how I find myself flying across the country to crash a wedding in the name of research, dress and heels stuffed into my small suitcase. It should be the easiest book research ever. Drinking some free champagne, basking in the love of two strangers, and tapping into my romantic side. That'll be a breeze. I'm a pro. I can handle this. Until I mistakenly end up in the wrong hotel room, naked as the day I was born, with the sexiest human I have ever met staring me down, wondering what I'm doing taking a shower in his bathroom. I don't think calling it "research" will get me out of this mess. But it will make for one hell of a story.

Download or read book Baba Nyonya Heritage Peranakan Weddings from a Malaccan Perspective written by Charles KK Chua and published by Malaysian Institute of Translation & Books. This book was released on 2019-07-14 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Baba Nyonya Heritage: Peranakan Weddings from a Malaccan Perspective was written by a sixth generation Baba, who has practiced the traditions of Peranakan weddings over a span of eight decades. During the course of his life, he observed, learned and participated in every aspect of traditional Baba Nyonya weddings – from the matchmaker’s arrival, to exchanges between the families, to the actual wedding, which comprises many small and intimate ceremonies of its own. Having been a firsthand witness and participant at the traditional Peranakan weddings of many family members (including his own), he is uniquely qualified to be the author of such an important cultural document. The intention of this book is to document and preserve the traditions of Peranakan weddings, both in their original form and as they have been adapted over the years, in order to ensure that future generations will continue to live up to the proverb “Biar mati anak, jangan mati adat.” (Our cultural identity is more precious than our flesh and blood).
Download or read book Hindu Ritual at the Margins written by Linda Penkower and published by Univ of South Carolina Press. This book was released on 2014-10-09 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hindu Ritual at the Margins explores Hindu forms of ritual activity in a variety of "marginal" contexts. The contributors collectively examine ritual practices in diaspora; across gender, ethnic, social, and political groups; in film, text, and art; in settings where ritual itself or direct discussion of ritual is absent; in contexts that create new opportunities for traditionally marginalized participants or challenge the received tradition; and via theoretical perspectives that have been undervalued in the academy. In the first of three sections, contributors explore the ways in which Hindu ritual performed in Indian contexts intersects with historical, contextual, and social change. They examine the changing significance and understanding of particular deities, the identity and agency of ritual actors, and the instrumentality of ritual in new media. Essays in the second section examine ritual practices outside of India, focusing on evolving ritual claims to authority in mixed cultures (such as Malaysia), the reshaping of gender dynamics of ritual at an American temple, and the democratic reshaping of ritual forms in Canadian Hindu communities. The final section considers the implications for ritual studies of the efficacy of bodily acts divorced from intention, contemporary spiritual practice as opposed to religious-bound ritual, and the notion of dharma. Based on a conference on Hindu ritual held in 2006 at the University of Pittsburgh, Hindu Ritual at the Margins seeks to elucidate the ways ritual actors come to shape ritual practices or conceptions pertaining to ritual and how studying ritual in marginal contexts—at points of dynamic tension—requires scholars to reshape their understanding of ritual activity.
Download or read book Philosophical Perspectives on Existential Gratitude written by Joshua Lee Harris and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-03-23 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Existential gratitude-gratitude for one's very existence or life as a whole-is pervasive across the most influential human, cultural and religious traditions. Weaving together analytic and continental, as well as non-western and historical philosophical perspectives, this volume explores the nexus of gratitude, existence and God as an inter-subjective phenomenon for the first time. A team of leading scholars introduce existential gratitude as a perennially and characteristically human phenomenon, central to the distinctive life of our species. Attention is given to the conditions under which existence itself might be construed as having a gift-like or otherwise gratitude-inducing character. Drawing on a diversity of perspectives, chapters mark out new territory in philosophical inquiry, addressing whether and in what sense we ought to be grateful for our very existence. By analysing gratitude, this collection makes a novel contribution to the discourse on moral emotions, phenomenology, anti-natalism and theology.
