Download or read book In the Embrace of God written by Ann O. Graff and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2005-01-26 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since Karl Rahner posited the importance of the nature of the human as the starting point for theological reflection, the field of Christian anthropology has been one where very basic questions - and much creative theologizing - have been focused. For example, liberation theologians have had much to say about the presumptions inherent in classical definitions of human being and have pointed up the vital idea of social location as an integral part of human experience. Theological anthropology has come to be of vital interest to Christian feminists as well. As in other disciplines, the study of what is human tends to either ignore gender or to favor one as normative. In the quest to understand the totality of human experience it is necessary to view it from 'lived' experience. At the same time and deeply embedded in the Christian tradition is the recognition that human beings come from God, are going to God, and dwell in the embrace of God. 'In the Embrace of God' provides a well-organized, clearly focused volume of original essays by North American feminist theologians encompassing the major areas of theological anthropology. In addressing the meaning of creation and end-time, fall and redemption, sin and grace, pain and suffering, sexuality and ecology, these contributors offer fresh insights and helpful new ways to approach the rich complexities of human experience.

Download or read book Hit Refresh written by Satya Nadella and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2017-09-26 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “At the core, Hit Refresh, is about us humans and the unique quality we call empathy, which will become ever more valuable in a world where the torrent of technology will disrupt the status quo like never before.” – Satya Nadella from Hit Refresh “Satya has charted a course for making the most of the opportunities created by technology while also facing up to the hard questions.” – Bill Gates from the Foreword of Hit Refresh The New York Times bestseller Hit Refresh is about individual change, about the transformation happening inside of Microsoft and the technology that will soon impact all of our lives—the arrival of the most exciting and disruptive wave of technology humankind has experienced: artificial intelligence, mixed reality, and quantum computing. It’s about how people, organizations, and societies can and must transform and “hit refresh” in their persistent quest for new energy, new ideas, and continued relevance and renewal. Microsoft’s CEO tells the inside story of the company’s continuing transformation, tracing his own personal journey from a childhood in India to leading some of the most significant technological changes in the digital era. Satya Nadella explores a fascinating childhood before immigrating to the U.S. and how he learned to lead along the way. He then shares his meditations as a sitting CEO—one who is mostly unknown following the brainy Bill Gates and energetic Steve Ballmer. He tells the inside story of how a company rediscovered its soul—transforming everything from culture to their fiercely competitive landscape and industry partnerships. As much a humanist as engineer and executive, Nadella concludes with his vision for the coming wave of technology and by exploring the potential impact to society and delivering call to action for world leaders. “Ideas excite me,” Nadella explains. “Empathy grounds and centers me.” Hit Refresh is a set of reflections, meditations, and recommendations presented as algorithms from a principled, deliberative leader searching for improvement—for himself, for a storied company, and for society.

Download or read book The Mind Body Politic written by Michelle Maiese and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-06-28 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building on contemporary research in embodied cognition, enactivism, and the extended mind, this book explores how social institutions in contemporary neoliberal nation-states systematically affect our thoughts, feelings, and agency. Human beings are, necessarily, social animals who create and belong to social institutions. But social institutions take on a life of their own, and literally shape the minds of all those who belong to them, for better or worse, usually without their being self-consciously aware of it. Indeed, in contemporary neoliberal societies, it is generally for the worse. In The Mind-Body Politic, Michelle Maiese and Robert Hanna work out a new critique of contemporary social institutions by deploying the special standpoint of the philosophy of mind—in particular, the special standpoint of the philosophy of what they call essentially embodied minds—and make a set of concrete, positive proposals for radically changing both these social institutions and also our essentially embodied lives for the better.

Mankind longs to be touched! His existence began with hands that so gently sculpted his very being. Those hands molded mankind into the image of He who created all things. Unwittingly, mankind wanders off from the Fathers embrace into the darkness, becoming lost, alone and aching for the safety and comfort he once knew.

Guided by the Creator, Momma Braxton and Martha Mae develop from a divine conception and spiritual gestation in the womb to a thriving infancy and adulthood in Christianity. Take a journey down the birth canal with the author, experience the complications, and witness as each contraction pushes both Momma Braxton and Martha Mae closer to the waiting hands of the Fathers embrace.

Download or read book Standards Battles in Open Source Software written by Huibert de Vries and published by Palgrave MacMillan. This book was released on 2008-10-23 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In many ways, the rise of the open source web browser Firefox contradicts common wisdom and expectations. An industry with network effects, as is the case in the web browser industry, should follow the rationale of "the strong grow stronger, and the weak become weaker." This means that in the long run, a single dominant technology will prevail that prevents competing technologies from obtaining a foothold in the market. We can therefore explain the victory of Internet Explorer (IE) over Netscape mainly because IE was bundled with the Windows operating system; however, we still need to understand the rise of Firefox in a "winner-takes-all market." Could the characteristics of Firefox, an open source software web browser, explain this unexpected success?" "This book brings together insights from open source software, open standards, and standards-setting, and illustrates the dynamics of standards-setting by examining two standards battles: Internet Explorer versus Netscape and Internet Explorer versus Firefox."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Embrace Life From Seeking to Living written by Charles Nehme and published by Charles Nehme. This book was released on with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a world filled with endless distractions, constant comparison, and the relentless pursuit of success and validation, it's easy to lose sight of what truly matters. We often find ourselves caught in a cycle of seeking—seeking approval, seeking validation, seeking happiness—only to discover that the more we chase after external sources of fulfillment, the further we drift from true contentment and meaning. But what if there was another way? What if, instead of constantly seeking validation from external sources, we chose to turn inward and embrace the fullness of our own existence? What if, instead of striving endlessly for perfection and success, we chose to savor the richness of each moment and find beauty in the imperfections of life? What if, instead of chasing after fleeting pleasures and temporary highs, we chose to cultivate a deeper sense of presence, gratitude, and connection? This book is an invitation to stop seeking and start living—a call to embrace a new way of being in the world. It's a reminder that true fulfillment and happiness are not found in the pursuit of external achievements or possessions, but in the richness of our inner lives and connections with others. Each chapter explores a different aspect of this journey—from cultivating self-awareness and acceptance of imperfection to finding joy in simplicity and surrendering to the natural flow of life. Through stories, reflections, and practical exercises, we'll explore how we can shift our mindset, embrace our true selves, and live with greater authenticity, purpose, and fulfillment. So, if you're ready to break free from the cycle of seeking and start living your life with intention, presence, and joy, then let's embark on this journey together. Let's explore what it means to stop seeking and start living—and discover the boundless possibilities that await us when we choose to embrace the fullness of our own existence. Inner peace is a state of being that many seek tirelessly but often fail to find because they overlook the simple truth: it resides within the present moment. The pursuit of inner peace is not about embarking on a relentless journey to find something external; rather, it is about recognizing and embracing the tranquility that exists within oneself. When we stop seeking and start living, we allow ourselves the opportunity to tap into this inherent peace. Instead of constantly chasing after fleeting desires or external validation, we turn our focus inward, acknowledging the serenity that arises from simply being present in the here and now. In the present moment, there is no need to dwell on past regrets or anxieties about the future. Instead, we can fully immerse ourselves in the richness of the present experience, accepting it without judgment or resistance. This acceptance brings a sense of calmness and contentment, freeing us from the burden of incessant striving. By embracing inner peace, we cultivate a profound sense of harmony within ourselves. We learn to let go of the need for control and surrender to the natural flow of life. In doing so, we release ourselves from the grip of stress and anxiety, allowing space for clarity and perspective to emerge. Moreover, inner peace enables us to navigate life's challenges with grace and resilience. Rather than reacting impulsively to external circumstances, we respond from a place of centeredness and stability. This resilience empowers us to weather the storms of life with equanimity, knowing that we possess the strength to endure. Ultimately, the journey to inner peace is not about reaching a destination but rather embracing the process of becoming. It is a continuous practice of mindfulness, self-awareness, and acceptance. When we stop seeking and start living, we open ourselves up to the profound beauty and tranquility that exist within us, waiting to be discovered.

Download or read book Hope in the Dark written by Rebecca Solnit and published by Haymarket Books. This book was released on 2016-05-14 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “[A] landmark book . . . Solnit illustrates how the uprisings that begin on the streets can upend the status quo and topple authoritarian regimes” (Vice). A book as powerful and influential as Rebecca Solnit’s Men Explain Things to Me, her Hope in the Dark was written to counter the despair of activists at a moment when they were focused on their losses and had turned their back to the victories behind them—and the unimaginable changes soon to come. In it, she makes a radical case for hope as a commitment to act in a world whose future remains uncertain and unknowable. Drawing on her decades of activism and a wide reading of environmental, cultural, and political history, Solnit argues that radicals have a long, neglected history of transformative victories, that the positive consequences of our acts are not always immediately seen, directly knowable, or even measurable, and that pessimism and despair rest on an unwarranted confidence about what is going to happen next. Now, with a moving new introduction explaining how the book came about and a new afterword that helps teach us how to hope and act in our unnerving world, she brings a new illumination to the darkness of our times in an unforgettable new edition of this classic book. “One of the best books of the 21st century.” —The Guardian “No writer has better understood the mix of fear and possibility, peril and exuberance that’s marked this new millennium.” —Bill McKibben, New York Times–bestselling author of Falter “An elegant reminder that activist victories are easily forgotten, and that they often come in extremely unexpected, roundabout ways.” —The New Yorker
