Download or read book Descending with angels written by Christian Suhr and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2019-07-28 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over several years, Christian Suhr followed Muslim patients being treated for jinn possession and psychosis in a Danish mosque and in a psychiatric hospital. Through rich filmic and textual case studies, he shows how the bodies and souls of Muslim patients become a battlefield between the moral demands of Islam and the psychiatric institutions of European nation-states. The book reveals how both psychiatric and Islamic healing work to produce relief from pain, and also entail an ethical transformation of the patient and the cultivation of religious and secular values through the experience of pain. Creatively exploring the analytic possibilities provided by the use of a camera, both text and film show how disruptive ritual techniques are used in healing to destabilise individual perceptions and experiences of agency, which allows patients to submit to the invisible powers of psychotropic medicine or God.
Download or read book Descending Angels written by Richard Burson and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2016-11-30 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is intended for those that are in a time of great tragedy and in need of hope to get them through those dark times. I also hope that this will help those that have a finite worldview to have an eternal worldview. One of the purposes of this book is to help people change their view of death and dying, for them to view death not as the end or as a dark and hopeless place but as just the next step of many that are yet to come in eternity. Out of this love that God has for humanity, God sends his angels to minister to mankind. The angels that he uses to minister to mankind are the supernatural creations of God, angels from heaven. This book is filled with nonfiction stories of the dying and how God in and for his glory sends angels to minister to those that are dying and, then once they are have died, carry the souls of those that have died into the presence of Jesus. Some, after having read just a portion of the book, say they had chills. Others have said that they cried and praised God for this book and only wished it had been published much sooner.

Download or read book God Was in This Place I i Did Not Know written by Rabbi Lawrence Kushner and published by Turner Publishing Company. This book was released on 2011-07-26 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Selected as a Union of American Hebrew Congregations (UAHC) “Significant Jewish Book” Jacob was running away from home. One night he lay down in the wilderness to sleep and had one of the great mystical experiences of Western religion. He dreamed there was a ladder, with angels ascending and descending, stretched between heaven and earth. For thousands of years, people have tried to overhear what the messengers came down to tell Jacob, and us. Now in a daring blend of scholarship and imagination, psychology and history, Lawrence Kushner gathers an inspiring range of interpretations of Genesis 28:16 given by sages, from Shmuel bar Nachmani in third-century Palestine to Hannah Rachel Werbermacher of Ludomir who lived in Poland two hundred years ago. Through a fascinating new literary genre and Kushner’s creative reconstruction of the teachers’ lives and times, we enter the study halls and sit at the feet of these spiritual masters to learn what each discovered about God’s Self and ourselves as they ascend and descend Jacob’s ladder. In this illuminating journey, our spiritual guides ask and answer the fundamental questions of human experience: Who am I? Who is God? What is God’s role in history? What is the nature of evil? How should I relate to God and other people? Could the universe really have a self? Rabbi Lawrence Kushner brilliantly reclaims a millennium of Jewish spirituality for contemporary seekers of all faiths and backgrounds. God Was in This Place & I, i Did Not Know is about God and about you; it is about discovering God’s place in the universe, and yours.
