Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of Oprah.com's "17 Must-Read Books for the New Year" and O Magazine's "10 Titles to Pick up Now." “Exquisite in its honesty and truth and resilience, and a necessary chronicle from one of the greatest writers of our time. ” —Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, The Guardian, Best Books of 2016. “Every page ripples with a contagious faith in education and in the power of literature to shape the imagination and scour the conscience.” —The Washington Post From one of the world’s greatest writers, the story of how the author found his voice as a novelist at Makerere University in Uganda Birth of a Dream Weaver charts the very beginnings of a writer’s creative output. In this wonderful memoir, Kenyan writer Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o recounts the four years he spent at Makerere University in Kampala, Uganda—threshold years during which he found his voice as a journalist, short story writer, playwright, and novelist just as colonial empires were crumbling and new nations were being born—under the shadow of the rivalries, intrigues, and assassinations of the Cold War. Haunted by the memories of the carnage and mass incarceration carried out by the British colonial-settler state in his native Kenya but inspired by the titanic struggle against it, Ngũgĩ, then known as James Ngugi, begins to weave stories from the fibers of memory, history, and a shockingly vibrant and turbulent present. What unfolds in this moving and thought-provoking memoir is simultaneously the birth of one of the most important living writers—lauded for his “epic imagination” (Los Angeles Times)—the death of one of the most violent episodes in global history, and the emergence of new histories and nations with uncertain futures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The bestselling, award-winning Soul Savers series continues with the launch of Age of Angels, a mini-series of novellas about Alexis, Tristan, and family after the war. Part I: Awakened The first and last thing I remember about my entire life happened two seconds ago, when I woke up in the middle of the forest with a group of strangers who claim to be family and friends. I have no idea who they are. In fact, I have no idea who I am. They say I’m their leader, which makes me laugh, then the scary but sexy one sweeps me in his arms and takes me back to their home against my will. I kick and scream the whole way, though I can’t deny how nice his arms feel around me. He says he’s my second-in-command and my husband, but wouldn’t I remember this man who takes my breath away? And the fact that I have twin babies? I mean, come on. How could I forget that? The more I learn about all of the challenges these people are facing, the more I question what kind of leader this Alexis person—supposedly me—is. Nobody knows what happened to me, but in a world destroyed by war and black magic, we realize I’ve been cursed. While they scramble to find an antidote, we’re attacked, and it quickly becomes apparent that if I don’t regain my memories and my power fast, everyone will suffer. Not just these people I’ve been getting to know, but the whole world. Because I’m supposed to lead this new Age of Angels—which just might end before it’s really begun. Age of Angels Part I: Awakened, Soul Savers Book 8, was previously published as Awakened Angel, Book 7.5. The story is the same but has a new epilogue.

Download or read book Hip Hop s Inheritance written by Reiland Rabaka and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2011-03-31 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hip Hop's Inheritance arguably offers the first book-length treatment of what hip hop culture has, literally, 'inherited' from the Harlem Renaissance, the Black Arts movement, the Feminist Art movement, and 1980s and 1990s postmodern aesthetics. By comparing and contrasting the major motifs of the aforementioned cultural aesthetic traditions with those of hip hop culture, all the while critically exploring the origins and evolution of black popular culture from antebellum America through to 'Obama's America,' Hip Hop's Inheritance demonstrates that the Hip Hop generation is not the first generation of young black folk preoccupied with spirituality and sexuality, race and religion, entertainment and athletics, or ghetto culture and bourgeois culture.
Download or read book Spirituality and the Awakening Self written by David G. PhD Benner and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being human is a lifelong journey of becoming. This journey defines our humanity, for it is a journey toward our source and our fulfillment, described in Christian theology as union with God. If we remain open to God as our sense of self awakens, we experience a deeper consciousness of being in him. The self that emerges during this process is larger, more enlightened, and whole. David Benner, who has spent thirty-five years integrating psychology and spirituality, presents psychological insights in a readable fashion to offer readers a deeper understanding of the self and its spiritual development. Drawing on a broad range of Christian traditions, Benner shows that the transformation of self is foundational to Christian spirituality. This book will appeal to readers interested in a psychologically grounded, fresh exploration of Christian spirituality; professionals engaged in pastoral care, counseling, and spiritual direction; and students in ministry development and spiritual formation courses. Questions and answers for individual or group use are included at the end of each chapter.

Download or read book Awaken You written by Shelly Bond and published by Voices Rising Press. This book was released on 2022-01-14 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Awaken You, yogi and storyteller Shelly Bond offers tangible ways of waking up to life. Part guide and part memoir, Shelly shares her journey of self-doubt to self-reflection and finally accepting love. With an authentic voice, she combats the inner critique as a way toward awakening to life flaws and all. Inside this soulful guide, are enlightened echoes of pain, loss, mending a broken marriage, parenting, acceptance, healing, compassion, forgiveness and more. Excerpts from the book: Being a conscious parent is more than a thought; it is a way of showing up for each and every child as the moment presents itself. The false perception of parenting tells us our children need to be a certain way; they need to look, act, think, behave, and test like everyone else, and if they don’t, we have failed in the parenting realm. These lies we have been fooled into believing are only putting more separation between parents and children. We can stop the destruction now. With the help of unconditional love, compassion, and forgiveness, we can carve a new path for how we will parent from this moment moving forward. Showing up and being a conscious parent is being open to what children are teaching us. Be open to how we can grow from them and with them, and work together to understand how each individual works. Today is a beautiful day to be alive. There is no better moment than this one; there is nowhere to go, nothing to do, except this moment here and now. Inhale a deep breath, pause in between the thoughts and thank yourself for showing up, followed by a sigh of relief on the exhale. There is a hero within us all, and dreams do come true when you hold them in your heart with belief, no matter what. I am inspired with love to share with you no matter your circumstances or life experiences. With help, we can change seemingly unchangeable events in our lives. How, you ask? With the power of thought and intention, linked with the power of loving and believing in yourself again. Or for the very first time ever. Speaking used to be my worst enemy. I held fear of failure and purpose may as well have been on another planet beyond our solar system. Yet, my journey and these words are more significant than fear. Allowing myself to be creative is a life with the possibility of purpose. No matter the fear, I still take the step; I still write the words even when it’s scary. I write when my heart feels like exploding out of my chest when words become constricting. Fear has never gotten me anywhere but down, yet purpose keeps me afloat.
Download or read book Rising Out of Hatred written by Eli Saslow and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2019-09-03 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter, the powerful story of how a prominent white supremacist changed his heart and mind. This is a book to help us understand the American moment and to help us better understand one another. “The story of Derek Black is the human being at his gutsy, self-reflecting, revolutionary best, told by one of America’s best storytellers at his very best. Rising Out of Hatred proclaims if the successor to the white nationalist movement can forsake his ideological upbringing, can rebirth himself in antiracism, then we can too no matter the personal cost. This book is an inspiration.” —Ibram X. Kendi, National Book Award-winning author of Stamped from the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America Derek Black grew up at the epicenter of white nationalism. His father founded Stormfront, the largest racist community on the Internet. His godfather, David Duke, was a KKK Grand Wizard. By the time Derek turned nineteen, he had become an elected politician with his own daily radio show—already regarded as the "the leading light" of the burgeoning white nationalist movement. "We can infiltrate," Derek once told a crowd of white nationalists. "We can take the country back." Then he went to college. At New College of Florida, he continued to broadcast his radio show in secret each morning, living a double life until a classmate uncovered his identity and sent an email to the entire school. "Derek Black ... white supremacist, radio host ... New College student???" The ensuing uproar overtook one of the most liberal colleges in the country. Some students protested Derek's presence on campus, forcing him to reconcile for the first time with the ugliness of his beliefs. Other students found the courage to reach out to him, including an Orthodox Jew who invited Derek to attend weekly Shabbat dinners. It was because of those dinners—and the wide-ranging relationships formed at that table—that Derek started to question the science, history, and prejudices behind his worldview. As white nationalism infiltrated the political mainstream, Derek decided to confront the damage he had done. Rising Out of Hatred tells the story of how white-supremacist ideas migrated from the far-right fringe to the White House through the intensely personal saga of one man who eventually disavowed everything he was taught to believe, at tremendous personal cost. With great empathy and narrative verve, Eli Saslow asks what Derek Black's story can tell us about America's increasingly divided nature.
Download or read book Homecoming a Wizard s Story written by Ann M. Murphy and published by . This book was released on 2021-03-30 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bill is not happy. He is an overlooked, overworked, underpaid wizard and if things don't change soon, he might just have to do something drastic. Pushed to his limit, he decides, that in order to have the freedom he craves, changes will have to be made -- and fast. Unfortunately, things do not always go to plan and Bill finds himself the unwitting protector of an abandoned baby dragon named Scarlet. As he learns to care for her, the changes he wanted happen without him even realising, and he discovers, the hard way, that change isn't always as easy, or as desired, as he'd imagined. Journey with Bill and Scarlet as they are initiated into the world of the Shepherdesses: the protectors of Divine Balance on Earth. Follow them through a labyrinth of lessons and life challenges as they learn to live in the care of the Great Mother, the Soul of Planet Earth. Let them, in their turn, guide you on your journey into the Mother's world, to meet the many Beings who reside within the protection of her Ruby heart. Embedded in this book are keys and codes of an energetic nature, designed to awaken those who have already, before their birth into this life, decided to awaken to their Soul Path. As they read this story, their soul will recognise the symbols and energies, and dormant seeds will germinate in their psyche, awakening them to their full potential. In the years to come, they may walk the path of the Creators; the path of the artist, the healer, the writer, the musician or as a guardian of the natural world. In this time of great change, all are needed. This book is a book of fiction, with comedic undertones, but it is also a book of healing, of light and of courage. Bill's journey is our journey. The challenges he faces are what we face on our spiritual path; managing the emotional rollercoaster of healing and growth while moving onto the path which is truly ours. How do we let go of old patterns of behaviour? How can we learn to stand up for what we believe in? And how do we find the strength to continue when everything around us is falling apart and we are forging a path that no one understands? These are some of the challenges we face as we move into the uncharted waters of healing and change; challenges that Bill too must overcome if he is to become what he is destined to be.
Download or read book The Dark Side of the Enlightenment Wizards Alchemists and Spiritual Seekers in the Age of Reason written by John V. Fleming and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2013-07-22 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why spiritual and supernatural yearnings, even investigations into the occult, flourished in the era of rationalist philosophy. In The Dark Side of the Enlightenment, John V. Fleming shows how the impulses of the European Enlightenment—generally associated with great strides in the liberation of human thought from superstition and traditional religion—were challenged by tenacious religious ideas or channeled into the “darker” pursuits of the esoteric and the occult. His engaging topics include the stubborn survival of the miraculous, the Enlightenment roles of Rosicrucianism and Freemasonry, and the widespread pursuit of magic and alchemy. Though we tend not to associate what was once called alchemy with what we now call chemistry, Fleming shows that the difference is merely one of linguistic modernization. Alchemy was once the chemistry, of Arabic derivation, and its practitioners were among the principal scientists and physicians of their ages. No point is more important for understanding the strange and fascinating figures in this book than the prestige of alchemy among the learned men of the age. Fleming follows some of these complexities and contradictions of the “Age of Lights” into the biographies of two of its extraordinary offspring. The first is the controversial wizard known as Count Cagliostro, the “Egyptian” freemason, unconventional healer, and alchemist known most infamously for his ambiguous association with the Affair of the Diamond Necklace, which history has viewed as among the possible harbingers of the French Revolution and a major contributing factor in the growing unpopularity of Marie Antoinette. Fleming also reviews the career of Julie de Krüdener, the sentimental novelist, Pietist preacher, and political mystic who would later become notorious as a prophet. Impressively researched and wonderfully erudite, this rich narrative history sheds light on some lesser-known mental extravagances and beliefs of the Enlightenment era and brings to life some of the most extraordinary characters ever encountered either in history or fiction.

Spectra and Dusty are sent to find and stop this new threat, while Spectra begins her plan to change the balance of power for the entire known multiverse. Dusty must decide whether to follow Spectra as she uses this mission of mercy for her own gain, or stand with the Wizard Kingdom, which would put him in direct opposition to his wife.

To do this he must stop the opening of the Well of Souls, a gate to the Underworld that could be the destruction of a prophecy that must unfold. In his effort to find who and what he must, he takes cover as a merchants guard. A twist of destiny has him meet Lady Darfinel of Ladasia, a strong-willed merchant that plans a trip in the direction Therin needs to go. Darfinel, stubborn and defiant, becomes an unlikely asset to join forces with Therin, but he comes to believe she is part of the prophecies. As she travels with the wizard and his company of warriors, Darfinel begins to feel the need to be something more than just a merchant. Her abilities as a warrior surfaces in this time of growing darkness, and through the wizard, Darfinel learns she was born with the blood of an ancient line of warriors.

The world stirs with evil as the feared Lords of Morigdune join with a strange power. New, monstrous creatures as well as old myths walk the land, leaving death to mark their paths. Fighting both witch hunters and the wizard Lords of Morigdune, Therin learns the Well of Souls is already open. Now they must find a way to close it before the webs of prophecy are wiped away.
