Book excerpt: Praise for THE Seasons OF A Restless Heart "Debra Farrington has done a beautiful job of Christian interpretation by building a bridge between the ancient stories of the Exodus and our contemporary experiences of transition. She shares most eloquently what she has learned from others, and more importantly, what she has experienced personally. Her words will both enlighten and inspire." —John R. Claypool, Episcopal priest and author, The Hopeful Heart "Debra Farrington has always been a deeply practical, realistic, and honest writer whose work is companionable and full of stories. In The Seasons of a Restless Heart she is all these things and much, much more. In 'the time between ending and beginning,' Farrington finds the poetry as well as the agony of change; she allays our fears and charms our spirits back to faith, hope, and—yes—to charity." —Phyllis Tickle, compiler, The Divine Hours "In this daring and hopeful work Debra Farrington illumines how to live into the arduous task of transition so that 'we stand a better chance of being closer to God when we reach the end.' . . . {It is} an extended prayer for the journeys of all in transition. Reminding us that we are God's beloved, she offers footholds to guide us through the murky in-between times. This book is beautiful, hopeful, and caressing." —Anne E. Kitch, Canon for Christian Formation, Cathedral Church of the Nativity, and author, The Anglican Family Prayer Book "It's all here. The doubts, the hesitations, the fears, even the excitement that mark the small and large transitions of our lives. Farrington provids a helpful tool for readers as they learn to celebrate what was, live meaningfully through the uncertainties of the present, and move into a healthy and whole future." —Linda Post Bushkofsky, executive director, Women of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America

The Confessions is a dramatic personal narrative of a soul choosing between eternal life and death, an exploration of the timeless questions great minds have been asking for millennia, and a prayer of praise and thanksgiving to God. I Burned for Your Peace is not a scholarly work but an unpacking of the riches found in Augustine's text. It is existential, personal, and devotional, as well as warm, witty, and thought-provoking. With Kreeft to guide them, readers of the Confessions can overhear and understand the intimate conversation between a towering intellect and the God whose peace he at last humbly accepts.

Book excerpt: The figure of Augustine of Hippo looms large over the history of western Christianity: theologian, mystic, monk, philosopher, artist, bishop, ascetic, convert, polemicist, seeker. Augustine's distinctive spiritual vision has played and continues to play a profoundly formative role in both imagining and living the Christian life. For some his presence is celebrated, for others it is lamented - for few can it be a matter of indifference. Thomas Martin's concise survey of this vast, complicated and controversial terrain begins with Augustine and his own restless heart and then traces the legacy of this spiritual vision as it is taken up by other restless seekers through the centuries. Our Restless Heart is a concise but masterly introduction to the Augustinian tradition which will stimulate beginner and specialist alike. Book jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The negro will not be alarmed at the unjust talk against him, as is often uttered by Mr. Tillman, of South Carolina. He will not be sent to the island of the sea to please Mr. Graves, of Georgia. The negro is here to stay, to work, to learn, to obey, to pray and to accumulate property and to become a responsible factor in his own country and nation.” --Dr. John Jefferson Smallwood September 25, 1903 “John J. Smallwood is the most eloquent negro orator that has ever spoken in Steubenville. He is dark in complexion, rather fine looking, a plain but substantial dresser, unassuming in his manners, a profound scholar, and a master of the pure English. He has a full round voice, very eloquent as a speaker, logical, graceful, and convincing. Upon the subject of the “Negro Problem” he has no equal in this country.” The Steubenville Weekly Herald Star September 25, 1903 “His style of oratory, which is dignified and graceful, is suggestive of that of Hon., Frederick Douglass, and his friends, of whom he has a host, numbering among them some of the leading men and women in New England, say that in time he will surpass Douglass.” The Boston Globe November 16, 1890 “On my return to America, on the question of labor, I learned that a colored man could better represent his race upon such issues when they came before the public.” Dr. John Jefferson Smallwood The Boston Sunday Globe November 16, 1890 “But through the broader knowledge which cultivated intelligence brings, Dr. Smallwood has not stopped at the race question, but has entered upon the agitation of temperance and labor, topics affecting American citizens, white and colored.” The Boston Globe, November 16, 1890. “I was only twelve years of age when I ran away from my birthplace of Rich Square, NC . . . I walked sixty miles from N.C. into the town of Franklin [VA] where my poor, slave-born father and mother once lived and where my great but misguided grandfather was executed Aug. [1831]. I speak of my grandfather (Nat Turner) who led the Southampton Insurrection in [1831] as being “great.” I do not mean in a foolish, unselfish way but as a fact.” November 16, 1890, Dr. John Jefferson Smallwood.

Download or read book A Curse upon the Nation written by Kay Wright Lewis and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2017-08-15 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the inception of slavery as a pillar of the Atlantic World economy, both Europeans and Africans feared their mass extermination by the other in a race war. In the United States, says Kay Wright Lewis, this ingrained dread nourished a preoccupation with slave rebellions and would later help fuel the Civil War, thwart the aims of Reconstruction, justify Jim Crow, and even inform civil rights movement strategy. And yet, says Lewis, the historiography of slavery is all but silent on extermination as a category of analysis. Moreover, little of the existing sparse scholarship interrogates the black perspective on extermination. A Curse upon the Nation addresses both of these issues. To explain how this belief in an impending race war shaped eighteenth- and nineteenth-century American politics, culture, and commerce, Lewis examines a wide range of texts including letters, newspapers, pamphlets, travel accounts, slave narratives, government documents, and abolitionist tracts. She foregrounds her readings in the long record of exterminatory warfare in Europe and its colonies, placing lopsided reprisals against African slave revolts—or even rumors of revolts—in a continuum with past brutal incursions against the Irish, Scots, Native Americans, and other groups out of favor with the empire. Lewis also shows how extermination became entwined with ideas about race and freedom from early in the process of enslavement, making survival an important form of resistance for African peoples in America. For African Americans, enslaved and free, the potential for one-sided violence was always present and deeply traumatic. This groundbreaking study reevaluates how extermination shaped black understanding of the Atlantic slave trade and the political, social, and economic worlds in which it thrived.
Download or read book Eternal Heart written by Carl McColman and published by Broadleaf Books . This book was released on 2021-06-29 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The heart is where the human soul and God meet. This is what teachings from Scripture and the mystics reveal: the heart is the temple of God within us and within the heart we hold the key to live a truly divine life. But how do we embody the tremendous love available to us, deep in our hearts? In Eternal Heart, Carl McColman, author of The Big Book of Christian Mysticism, invites us to create an optimistic, visionary, and imaginative path to personal happiness and fulfillment. Weaving together teachings from the biblical tradition, literature of the mystics, and wisdom of the world's contemplative traditions, McColman engages us in profound, practical exercises for cultivating fuller, more abundant, and more satisfying lives. The path of Christian Mysticism is a path of both contemplation and action. By unlocking the mysteries in our hearts, we discover a source of divine love deep within us: a power for spiritual growth, and for creating meaningful relationships and working together to change the world for the better.

Download or read book Healing of a Restless Heart written by M. A. Andrew D. Isbell and published by . This book was released on 2021-08-10 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a story of a man still trying to heal from his childhood. A man who is still hurting and bleeding, yet at the same time being saved. This story about Andrew is the story of Jesus. His story is really all of ours - or at least many of ours. He is being healed by God the Father as he is being hurt by the sin of the world. The wounded heart of Jesus is present within all of us if we really stop and look and give that time to see it for what it really is. This life is hard and painful, but at the end of the day - if we give that pain to Jesus - he heals us in the sight of his Father.
Download or read book Struggling with God written by Simon D Podmore and published by James Clarke & Company. This book was released on 2013-10-31 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Invoking the biblical motif of Jacob's struggle with the Face of God (Genesis 32), Simon D. Podmore undertakes a constructive theological account of 'spiritual trial' (tentatio; known in German mystical and Lutheran tradition as Anfechtung) in relation to enduring questions of the otherness and hiddenness of God and the self, the problem of suffering and evil, the freedom of Spirit, and the anxious relationship between temptation and ordeal, fear and desire. This book traces a genealogy of spiritual trial from medieval German mystical theology, through Lutheran and Pietistic thought (Tauler; Luther; Arndt; Boehme), and reconstructs Kierkegaard's innovative yet under-examined recovery of the category (AnfAegtelse: a Danish cognate for Anfechtung) within the modern context of the 'spiritless' decline of Christendom. Developing the relationship between struggle (Anfechtung) and release (Gelassenheit), Podmore proposes a Kierkegaardian theology of spiritual trial which elaborates the kenosis of the self before God in terms of Spirit's restless longing to rest transparently in God. Offering an original rehabilitation of the temptation of spiritual trial, this book strives for a renewed theological hermeneutic which speaks to the enduring human struggle to realise the unchanging love of God in the face of spiritual darkness.
