Download or read book A Glimpse into the Other Side Through the Eyes of My Soul written by Louise and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2019-05-07 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our soul is the part of us that we often do not think much about. Our soul has feelings and emotions. Our soul experiences pain and agony. Our soul laughs and enjoys being full of joy and happiness. Most of all, our soul yearns to be closer to our God. Our soul is the part of us that will live forever throughout eternity with God or away from God. In A Glimpse into the Other Side Through the Eyes of My Soul, author Louise considers her life’s journey and recognizes it as a wonderful blessing, because she has been called to share many great blessings and hallelujah moments of her life with us. Louise also realizes that she is responsible for sharing the heartbreaking trials and the tear-filled sorrows that she has endured along the way. Louise also knows that her life has been richly blessed and highly favored by her God; therefore, she must continue to write all that her God allows her to write. Louise is a Christian who loves God the Father; Jesus Christ, her lord and savior; and the Holy Spirit. She is not ashamed of the gospel of Christ. Louise has been chosen—by God—to be a vessel that will share her life’s journey with each and every one of us. A wonderfully amazing gift was given to her that allows her to see what her soul sees, hears, and experiences at various times in her life. Louise’s journey proves God’s existence over and over again as we all realize the similarities of narratives that are also found in the Bible.
Download or read book The Spontaneous Self written by Paul Breer and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-10-22 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many philosophers have argued that free will may be no more than a flattering illusion. Few have gone on, however, to spell out what life would be like without that illusion. In The Spontaneous Self Dr. Breer explores the many ways in which our everyday experience is likely to be affected by giving up a belief in free will. Topics include guilt, pride, credit, blame, ambition, fear, identity, power, and love. His analysis of what we stand to gain and lose by changing our beliefs draws upon the results of an eight-year attempt to dispel the illusion of free will in his own life. The Spontaneous Self describes the cognitive-emotional techniques he devised for uprooting the illusion of free will and the personal transformation that followed when he put those techniques into practice.

Download or read book Glimpses Now I Can See written by Elizabeth A. Roberts and published by Abbott Press. This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Elizabeth Roberts twice lost her sight, she felt she had lost her self, as well. Months and years of darkness loomed ahead. How could she continue the life she once had? Could she be self-reliant and independent? Could she find happiness in accomplishment again?

The glimpses of her life reveal frustration and fear, as well as joy, contentment, and peace, but most of all, the hope and love she needs to survive, to live, to flourish. Through the authors loss of sight and search for vision, we see resilience and achievement and . . . love.

Download or read book Lonnie Donegan and the Birth of British Rock Roll written by Patrick Humphries and published by Biteback Publishing. This book was released on 2012-10-22 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Lonnie Donegan first burst onto the scene early in 1956, his energetic brand of skiffle galvanised a generation and transformed the face of music. Before Elvis Presley, the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, there was Lonnie, guitar in hand, ready to kick-start the British pop and rock scene. From the traditional jazz bands of his early career to the blues and folk songs that secured his popularity, the sound of Lonnie Donegan was immediate and infectious, a long-awaited call to arms for those coming of age after the dark days of the Second World War. During a successful seven-year run, Lonnie racked up twenty-six Top 20 singles, became the first British act to have an LP enter the charts, the first to have a hit EP and the first ever to have a single enter the charts at no. 1. Here was a talent to emulate - and the youth of the 1950s did just that. Including exclusive interviews with music royalty, from Mick Jagger, Paul McCartney and Mark Knopfler to Brian May, Bill Wyman and the late John Peel, as well as Lonnie's first wife and daughter, Patrick Humphries reveals the extraordinary story of the skiffle king and godfather of British rock & roll.
Download or read book Asian Diaspora Poetry in North America written by Benzi Zhang and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-12-12 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presenting a new way of reading that helps us discern some previously unnoticed or unnoticeable features of Asian diaspora poetry, this volume highlights how poetry plays a significant role in mediating and defining cross-cultural and transnational positions. Asian diaspora poetry in North America is a rich body of poetic works that not only provide valuable material for us to understand the lives and experiences of Asian diasporas, but also present us with an opportunity to examine some of the most important issues in current literary and cultural studies. As a mode of writing across cultural and national borders, these poetic works challenge us to reconsider the assumptions and meanings of identity, nation, home, and place in a broad cross-cultural context. In recent postcolonial studies, diaspora has been conceived not only as a process of migration in which people crossed and traversed the borders of different countries, but also as a double relationship between different cultural origins. With all its complexity and ambiguity associated with the experience of multi-cultural mediation, diaspora, as both a process and a relationship, suggests an act of constant repositioning in confluent streams that accommodate to multiple cultural traditions. By examining how Asian diaspora poets maintain and represent their cultural differences in North America, Zhang is able to seek new perspectives for understanding and analyzing the intrinsic values of Asian cultures that survive and develop persistently in North American societies.

Book excerpt: Following its initial publication in 1997, Global Diasporas: An Introduction was central to the emergence of diaspora studies and quickly established itself as the leading textbook in the field. This expanded and fully-revised 25th anniversary edition adds two new chapters on incipient diasporas and diaspora engagement while carefully clarifying the changing meanings of the concept of diaspora and incorporating updated statistics and new interpretations seamlessly into the original text. The book has also been made more student-friendly with illustrations, thought-provoking questions, and guides to further reading. The book features insightful case studies and compares a wide range of diasporas, including Jewish, Armenian, African, Sikh, Chinese, British, Indian, Lebanese, Afghan and Caribbean peoples. This edition also retains Cohen’s rich historical and sociological descriptions and clear yet elegant writing, as well as his modified concept of ‘diasporic rope’ linking different features of diasporas. This updated edition of the definitive textbook in the field will be an indispensable guide for students and instructors seeking to explore the complex issues of diaspora, migration and identity.
