Book excerpt: Making the Change is a part personal story, part in-depth look into life, and part inspirational message, for you the reader, to Make the Change You Long to in your Life! For much of my life I desired growth in some form or another but for reasons unknown to me at the time, I remained stuck. Today, I understand I share a pain and struggle that is common amongst many; a void that causes most of us to become stagnate and lose sight of our true potential. However, no matter what it is holding you back in life, know that it is never too late to seize the day. This book sets out to aid the reader in identifying personal discoveries and applying your new awareness in the effort to bring about the happiness and fulfillment you seek. Allow this work to guide you in your personal journey, by urging you to become more self-aware through a series of questions, serving as both a guide and a journal. My hope is that this book will share that message with those who are experiencing both internal and external conflict, to find a means to heal old wounds and learn to forgive and therefore grow into the individual that you were truly always meant to be!
Download or read book A Commentary on Jean Paul Sartre s Being and Nothingness written by Joseph S. Catalano and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1985-09-15 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[A Commentary on Jean-Paul Sartre's Being and Nothingness] represents, I believe, a very important beginning of a deservingly serious effort to make the whole of Being and Nothingness more readily understandable and readable. . . . In his systematic interpretations of Sartre's book, [Catalano] demonstrates a determination to confront many of the most demanding issues and concepts of Being and Nothingness. He does not shrink—as do so many interpreters of Sartre—from such issues as the varied meanings of 'being,' the meaning of 'internal negation' and 'absolute event,' the idiosyncratic senses of transcendence, the meaning of the 'upsurge' in its different contexts, what it means to say that we 'exist our body,' the connotation of such concepts as quality, quantity, potentiality, and instrumentality (in respect to Sartre's world of 'things'), or the origin of negation. . . . Catalano offers what is doubtless one of the most probing, original, and illuminating interpretations of Sartre's crucial concept of nothingness to appear in the Sartrean literature."—Ronald E. Santoni, International Philosophical Quarterly

Download or read book Cutting Ties with Darkness written by John D. Barry and published by Lexham Press. This book was released on 2016-02-24 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul wrote 2 Corinthians with a heavy heart, wrestling to maintain his relationship with the young church that he established. The way that Paul handled this painful situation provides an example for us today. When should we reconcile, and when should we walk away? How do we cut ties with darkness--whether in ourselves or in others? In this volume from the Transformative Word series, edited by Craig Bartholomew, John D. Barry explores how we deal with such scars in light of Jesus' example. Endorsements In beautiful prose, John Barry offers a plethora of practical insights for our lives, relationships and ministries from 2 Corinthians. He shows how the letter as a whole fits together, and his heart for the world shines through as he provides illustrations from a range of cultures as well as what he has witnessed personally. --Craig Keener, F. M. and Ada Thompson Professor of Biblical Studies, Asbury Theological Seminary In his work, Cutting Ties with Darkness, John Barry walks us through Second Corinthians, opens our eyes to the heart of Paul, and connects his message to our world in language and illustrations anyone can understand. This is not like most commentaries. It is both stimulating and enjoyable to read. The clarity with which he communicates Paul's message demonstrates that he has delved deeply into each passage and thought through each one's implications. John Barry is masterful in bridging the cultural gap and making Paul's message contemporary and practical. --Gary W. Derickson, Professor of Biblical Exposition and Greek Department Chair, Bible and Theology Corban University School of Ministry

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First book addressing the concerns and issues of people of color in spiritual direction “These essays speak of how we have incorporated our contemplative practices into our family life; our urban, non-religious background; how we have been nurtured in struggles for health and life through our contemplative prayer practices and our courage to survive and even thrive in the midst of dire circumstances. We speak of the unfolding bridge between faith and culture; our conflicts with an Interspiritual journey with a Christian foundation; our sexuality; our journey to healing and authenticity; and how we are taking this practice that began in the first centuries of the church with the desert mothers and fathers to the present and into the future with spiritual direction through the Internet across the world.” —from the Introduction
Download or read book The Poetics of Philosophy A Reading of Plato written by David Ross and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2008-12-18 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Poetics of Philosophy is my attempt to hear what academic philosophy attempts to silence, namely, how reason resonates with madness. It is thus a stinging of the great steed of academia in order to recover and re-experience what otherwise would be repressed by the exigencies of bureaucratic-commodity life in the late capitalist world. An analysis of Plato’s principal dialogues with a view towards developing the author’s conception of thinking, knowing, and loving, it incorporates the insights of Heidegger, Nietzsche, and Derrida. Provoking the world mind to reflect upon its phenomenological possibility for Being dispersed within its daily routines or business, the book argues for the metaphysicality of physical reality articulated through the narrative trope of fractal dialectical logic. The present volume’s more general implications extend the insights of the author’s previous work in the area of social science. I refer to the possibility for world communist revolution, which is predicated on communism’s thorough ridding itself of its naïve materialist perspective, the relics of a Newtonian Universe, and its embracing of a fractal-dialectical logic (or similar) that is better able to incorporate the yearning for immortality, desire to experience beauty, and the need to have a meaningful life that define human species life. To articulate such a framework is the aim of my general research.

This book was released on 1988-07-08 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The threat of solipcism nagged Husserl.

Download or read book Love Is an Inside Job written by Romal Tune and published by FaithWords. This book was released on 2018-04-03 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Faith in God plus therapy are the combination that leads to wholeness. Tune's story of his faith/therapy path to authenticity with God will empower you for your own life journey. Tune is the son of a drug-addicted single parent mother, who herself, inherited deeply ingrained obstacles to self-love. He found his way out of poverty via the military. He graduated from Howard University and Duke School of Divinity. He was a minister, a sought-after speaker, and social entrepreneur. Outwardly, he was successful, an overcomer. Yet, his past, hidden childhood trauma would sometimes revolt, causing self-sabotage that threatened to destroy the life he was creating. He worked hard to keep the emotional brokenness caused by the challenges of his upbringing carefully hidden -- especially from the church. His mother, with whom he successfully reconciled after she was finally free from addiction, died of lung cancer. Then he divorced -- a second time. Feeling like a failure, questioning his faith and will to live, he made a choice not to give up but to examine his life and seek counseling. Dubbed "Brother Brown" (a Black man's Brene Brown), his book shares his process of applying therapy and faith to anger, shame, self-doubt and plaguing memories. Romal learned that the pursuit of success was not the key to healing the inner turmoil but it was in learning to accept the love of God and learning to love the wounded child within. His past pain was redeemed as self-worth and he finally found inner peace. No longer carrying the weight of secrets, guilt and shame, he emerged emotionally free and more powerful than ever. His book will empower others to stop living a past driven present by healing their stories, embracing the love of God, and learning to truly love themselves.

This beautifully designed edition presents Dr. King's speech in its entirety, paying tribute to this extraordinary leader and his immeasurable contribution, and inspiring a new generation of activists dedicated to carrying on the fight for justice and equality.

Book excerpt: There is nothing more humanly pleasing than the feeling of a clear conscience. I did not know how to express in a more profound manner that illuminating and deep feeling, which lights up the soul of an individual from within and perhaps, transforms one into one of those rare people in this world.I contended that I touched upon this spiritual realization by way of my own personal experience. But, when I examined this issue with myself, I found many benevolent elements, which helped me reach this point of illumination in life, the one I found myself in now. Knowledge resembles light, just as ignorance resembles darkness. What is more important is to be able to see through the darkness.
