Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why speak about love in all its facets? Love is a diamond—we cannot fathom its depths. By a combination of all its facets, we hope to reach a vision of true love. I realize that all people are looking for love so they can say life is beautiful. Love appears in different forms, different versions, different ages, and different cultures. It is present everywhere, but transparent, like wind and water. Could it be an element of nature that feeds us daily? Everybody knows that when we fall in love, we just need fresh water to survive. Love is the word we use the most to express a feeling of satisfaction. We use it more to express our personal sensations than those inspired in somebody else. This is not our fault; we are taught growing up to hide our feelings and say things halfway, so as not to shock. That's what it means to live in community. Society attempts to control people who have chosen to live inside it—to control love—by imposing rules that restrict behavior. Sex is one of its priorities. In the olden days, homosexuality was a normal sexual behavior; it was tolerated. At the time of Kings, incest was accepted. Each period imposes sexual taboos, and as a consequence, nowadays we live with so many taboos we don't understand them in depth. To my mind, taboos are designed to manage the general interest and safeguard society. I also think that they have to arise themselves from a loving sentiment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a most interesting manner, the author has tried to decipher the various faces of love. Love can be an ocean of emotions, and it can be a desert mirage as well. For a few, its an obsession; its a convenience for many; and for some, it could be a selfless, unconditional feeling where they want to see another person happy. And then theres a totally mystical face. Sara and Sidhant had no semblance amongst them but still there was an unseen force which pulled them together and created restlessness. They sparked a hot flame in each others hearts but their minds could never accept it. Was it pride, confusion, fear or bias? This face of love, which is the rarest gift of God, could also turn out to be the biggest gamble of ones life, which two people ought to play. You can survive by playing and losing, but theres no choice of clinging to life if you dont play it. Sara didnt acknowledge her feelings and created a wretched fiasco of her life. By the time she had mustered the courage to accept her emotions, she was already committed to her husband Medhanshbut, clear to everyone but her, her heart and soul were devoted to Sidhant.

Book excerpt: Facets of Love: A Guide for Every Lost Woman Desperate for a Life of Full Authentic Embodiment By: Melissa Renee Are you living in disconnection from your body? Do you struggle processing your emotions? Are you a woman that operates highly in your masculine energy? On a cold winter season in Indiana, my nineteen-year marriage came to its demise. In an old home with my four cats, I began to dismantle the encoded barriers that were built up around me and explored my true self. I learned how to permanently transform both my pain and my relationship patterns. Do you get messages from your deceased ancestors? Mine came through loud and clear telling me “Open your eyes!” That was the beginning of seeing the hidden truths and thoughts that were tucked away in the dark corners of my psyche. This is my healing memoir journeying my deep reflections and realizations. I learned through this process that I was living a life of disconnection, ‘going through the motions’ and utterly blinded from some extremely harsh truths of my marriage. “Facets of Love” chronicles my path to thriving, freedom and full embodiment. The spiritual presence is my guiding light that illuminated my path to sovereignty. Art, dance, music and prayer were instrumental facets of love and a path of discovery leading me to my own self-reflections. “Facets of Love” documents how I embodied the “Rising Phoenix” and pulled myself up from these challenging experiences. I share with you here my authentic, heartfelt story of healing, to offer all of you the medicine I, myself, have acquired.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poets, theologians, romantics, scientists, and revolutionaries alike have explored the many facets of love. Judging by the wide use of the word “love” and the high praise it typically receives, we might think that philosophers have thoroughly analyzed love. But this is not the case. This book takes a step toward rectifying the neglect of a philosophical analysis of love. It brings together fifteen philosophical perspectives that explore some of love’s most important facets. Most of the essays have theistic or religious concerns in mind.

Download or read book Insurgence written by Frank Viola and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2018-06-05 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why does the allegiance that radical terrorists give to their false cause exceed the allegiance that most Christians today give to Jesus Christ? In Insurgence, bestselling author Frank Viola presents a radical proposal for Christians. Namely, that we have lost the explosive, earthshaking gospel of the kingdom that Jesus, Paul, and the other apostles preached. Viola argues that we've lost this dynamic, titanic, living gospel and exchanged it for a gospel of religious duty or permissiveness and "easy believism." In today's politically charged era, Christians on the progressive left as well as the conservative right both equate their particular viewpoints with the kingdom of God. Viola challenges and dismantles these perspectives, offering a fresh and revolutionary look at the gospel of the kingdom. Viola writes with gripping power, challenging Christians to embrace an unparalleled allegiance to Jesus Christ and his kingdom. This high-octane message is being reclaimed today, launching a spiritual insurgence.

Download or read book Meaning in Life Volume 2 written by Irving Singer and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2009-12-30 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An acclaimed philosopher offers a systematic mapping of the various facets of love. In his widely acclaimed trilogy The Nature of Love, Irving Singer traced the development of the concept of love in history and literature from the Greeks to the twentieth century. In this second volume of his Meaning in Life trilogy, Singer returns to the subject of his earlier work, exploring a different approach. Without denying his previous emphasis on the role of imagination and creativity, in this book Singer investigates the ability of them both to make one's life meaningful. A “systematic mapping” of the various facets of love (including sexual love, love in society, and religious love), The Pursuit of Love is an extended essay that offers Singer's own philosophical and psychological theory of love. Rich in insight into literature, the history of ideas, and the complexities of our being, The Pursuit of Love is a thought-provoking inquiry into fundamental aspects of all human relationships.

Download or read book The Sovereignty of God Debate written by D. Stephen Long and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How is God sovereign with respect to creation? Does creation affect God? Does God suffer or change because of creation? If so, how is this related to Christology? Why have these questions been so controversial in evangelical theology, even costing some people their jobs? This book is a collection of lectures given to the Forum for Evangelical Theology at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary. Six theologians answer the questions above from a variety of perspectives. They draw on resources including the church fathers, Thomas Aquinas, John Calvin, Jurgen Moltmann, process theology, and open theism. In the process of answering the question, does God suffer? each theologian also illustrates how responding to this subject requires an examination of other crucial evangelical issues, such as how we read Scripture and what it means to proclaim that God is love. Although the writers answer these questions in a variety of ways, the hope is that engaging in this conversation together can help evangelicals and all Christians to speak more faithfully of our sovereign God.
