Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: VOODOO... Many are those who believe that it is a Christian religion, since over 75% of its followers are also Catholics. But those with knowledge of that religion know that it's the opposite. Frantz knows about it all, after practicing voodoo for over 20 years, he has learned the hard way about the ungodliness and deception therein. He was taught, like many others, that voodoo was a mean to get to God. What a hoax! The majority of the voodoo priests are aware that they are working for Lucifer, but are blinded by the false promises of the devil. Here is the testimony of one: "I am working for my hell, because I love my Lord Satan." In this chef-d'oeuvre, Frantz submits some of his personal, fascinating experiences, and those of his family members and friends. The author writes on topics of this subject like no one before, Zombies, for example. He explains what zombie really is, not as the Hollywood movies depict it. He unmasks the spirit of voodoo and reveals who they really are and explains possession by spirits. This book is unique! Consequently, "From The Fear of Voodoo To The Fear of God," is the new, hot, must-read book of the year! Born and raise in a voodoo family in Haiti, Frantz Michel, after over 20 years in VOODOO, realized that he was duped; he was in the wrong practice. Five years after moving to the US, he gave his live to Jesus Christ in 2005 and dedicated his life to Him. He is currently a ministry leader, "Mission Coordinator," and the spoke person of a council board at his local church in North Miami (Gateway Family Foursquare Church), and the editor in chief of a Newsletter for that same church (Gateway's Newsletter). He is also a proud member of the US MILITARY (reservist).

His prolific and dedicated work stands as an inspiration to all who pursue this philosophy of life. Meddahocci, as well as many of his contemporaries offered many suggestions as to pursuing this way of life in the new world. The first of which is to change your name. The second suggestion is to change your mode of dress. The third suggestion was that Ifa is to be practiced in community. This work is presented here to preserve this intellectual property.

Download or read book Bearing Witness written by Wendy Griswold and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2000-06-19 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Greed, frustrated love, traffic jams, infertility, politics, polygamy. These--together with depictions of traditional village life and the impact of colonialism made familiar to Western readers through Chinua Achebe's writing--are the stuff of Nigerian fiction. Bearing Witness examines this varied content and the determined people who, against all odds, write, publish, sell, and read novels in Africa's most populous nation. Drawing on interviews with Nigeria's writers, publishers, booksellers, and readers, surveys, and a careful reading of close to 500 Nigerian novels--from lightweight romances to literary masterpieces--Wendy Griswold explores how global cultural flows and local conflicts meet in the production and reception of fiction. She argues that Nigerian readers and writers form a reading class that unabashedly believes in progress, rationality, and the slow-but-inevitable rise of a reading culture. But they do so within a society that does not support their assumptions and does not trust literature, making them modernists in a country that is simultaneously premodern and postmodern. Without privacy, reliable electricity, political freedom, or even social toleration of bookworms, these Nigerians write and read political satires, formula romances, war stories, complex gender fiction, blood-and-sex crime capers, nostalgic portraits of village life, and profound explorations of how decent people get by amid urban chaos. Bearing Witness is an inventive and moving work of cultural sociology that may be the most comprehensive sociological analysis of a literary system ever written.
Download or read book Voodoo in Haiti written by Alfred Métraux and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2016-10-21 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Voodoo in Haiti is a masterwork of observation and description by one of the most distinguished anthropologists of the twentieth century. Alfred Métraux has written a rich and lasting study of the lives and rituals of the Haitian mambos and adepts, and of the history and origins of their religion. It is an accurate and engaging account of one of the most fascinating and misunderstood cultures in the world. “Métraux’s book is a landmark in the serious study of Afro-Atlantic religion. The breadth and subtlety of its approach is such that it remains an essential classic of Afro-American ethnology.”—Robert Farris Thompson, professor of art history, Yale University, author of Flash of the Spirit “This is a work deserving of wide readership, and assured of it by its understanding and appeal.”—Library Journal “This book gives what is surely the most authoritative general account of that complex of belief and practice called vaudou available in the literature....No other observer of vaudou has contributed to its study the exquisite documentation of detail that marks the work of Alfred Métraux.”—Sidney W. Mintz, professor of anthropology, Johns Hopkins University
Download or read book From the Fear of Voodoo to the Fear of God Revised Edition written by Frantz Michel and published by . This book was released on 2015-01-22 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Voodoo is all around us, spreading its deception in the lives of Christians and non-Christians alike. Many people are under the mistaken belief that it is a Christian religion, since more than 75% of its followers are also Catholics. They teach others that Voodoo is a means to God. But those with knowledge of that religion know that the opposite is, in fact, true; the voodoo priests and many practitioners are working for Lucifer and are blinded by the false promises of the devil. After being exposed to Voodoo for more than 20 years, Frantz Michel author of "Can God Save Haiti?" learned the truth of the ungodliness and deception therein. In his chef-d'oeuvre, From the Fear of Voodoo to the Fear of God, Michel submits some of his personal experiences and those of his family members and friends in the hope that they will help readers to overcome the fear of voodoo and answer to the calling of God upon their lives. Michel says, "Fear of Voodoo is cocky and ruthless, it herds us into a prison of unlocked doors where seemingly none can get out; but I am showing you how to walk out." Here's what others are saying about this book: "Frantz Michel's book, 'From The Fear of Voodoo To The Fear of God' is a powerhouse of a book, that should be in every Christian's library. What I love about it is from the outset; this is a bold and honest book! Author Michel does not mince words here. He calls evil by its name and backs it up with scripture. The author knows his subject well... Speaking from the heart and providing a wealth of information about a subject many seem to think it's as harmless as an Ouija board. Voodoo is nothing to play with, and the author provides personal insight to its dangers. If you were ever in question about Voodoo, Frantz Michel can set you straight. Praise for 'From The Fear of Voodoo to The Fear of God' for not being afraid to write the truth! --Thomas Amo, Published Author & Internationally Produced Playwright From some of the practices of Voodoo, like the more well-known and celebrated Zombie to the less known marriages and day to day rituals, the author sheds light on what can only be considered a dark art. Rife with insight, Biblical Passages and fact based History - this is a book that any Faithful should read, and quite a few non-Faithful as well. --Heather G., Reviewer

Download or read book Research in Psychotherapy written by Julian Meltzoff and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on 2007-11-01 with total page 578 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research in Psychotherapy is a comprehensive synthesis and assessment of the psychotherapeutic research literature for the use of both researchers and those in clinical practice. It is designed as a general reference work, an instruction guide, and a source of information about specific aspects and problems of research. The book consists of three parts. Part 1 discusses principles and methods of research as they are applied to psychotherapy. It provides general background material and principles to help non-researchers appreciate some of the important problems that are encountered. In Part 2, existing research on the effects of psychotherapy and the determinants and correlates of outcome are clustered and reviewed. Chapters 4 to 7 are concerned strictly with a review and appraisal of controlled studies that were designed to evaluate the effects of psychotherapy. Chapters 8 to 13 deal with a large body of research on various factors associated with therapeutic outcome--method, style, and technique variables; patient, therapist, and time variables. Part 3 is concerned with research on aspects of the therapeutic process and on the effect of many of these same variables on the therapeutic interchange as distinct from the outcome of therapy. Also discussed is research on various therapeutic phenomena and conditions about which so much has been written and so little really known. Research in Psychotherapy was written in the conviction that clinical practice should be influenced by research and that rigorous research that meets acceptable experimental standards can be done on the field of psychotherapy. Julian Meltzoff is a fellow of the Division of Clinical Psychology of the American Psychological Association. Known as an innovator of therapeutic programs, he designed and organized a model milieu therapy setting, which was evaluated in his book The Day Treatment Center: Principles, Application, and Evaluation.
