Download or read book Teresa My Love written by Julia Kristeva and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2014-11-25 with total page 649 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mixing fiction, history, psychoanalysis, and personal fantasy, Teresa, My Love turns a past world into a modern marvel, following Sylvia Leclercq, a French psychoanalyst, academic, and incurable insomniac, as she falls for the sixteenth-century Saint Teresa of Avila and becomes consumed with charting her life. Traveling to Spain, Leclercq, Julia Kristeva's probing alter ego, visits the sites and embodiments of the famous mystic and awakens to her own desire for faith, connection, and rebellion. One of Kristeva's most passionate and transporting works, Teresa, My Love interchanges biography, autobiography, analysis, dramatic dialogue, musical scores, and images of paintings and sculpture to engage the reader in Leclercq's—and Kristeva's—journey. Born in 1515, Teresa of Avila outwitted the Spanish Inquisition and was a key reformer of the Carmelite Order. Her experience of ecstasy, which she intimately described in her writings, released her from her body and led to a complete realization of her consciousness, a state Kristeva explores in relation to present-day political failures, religious fundamentalism, and cultural malaise. Incorporating notes from her own psychoanalytic practice, as well as literary and philosophical references, Kristeva builds a fascinating dual diagnosis of contemporary society and the individual psyche while sharing unprecedented insights into her own character.

Download or read book Where There Is Love There Is God written by Mother Teresa and published by Image. This book was released on 2012-03-06 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "What you are doing I cannot do, what I’m doing you cannot do, but together we are doing something beautiful for God, and this is the greatness of God’s love for us.” —Mother Teresa, from Where There Is Love, There Is God In this book, Mother Teresa’s relationship with God and her commitment to those she served—the poorest of the poor—is powerfully explored in her own words. Taken largely from her private lessons to her sisters, published here for the first time, Where There Is Love, There Is God unveils her extraordinary faith in, and surrender to, God’s will. Love is perhaps the word that best summarizes Mother Teresa’s life and message. She sought to be an extension of God’s heart and hands in today’s world. She was called to be a missionary of charity, a carrier of God’s love to each person she met, especially those most in need. Yet she did not think that this was a vocation uniquely hers; she believed each person is in some way called to be a carrier of God’s love. Through the practical and timely advice she offers, Mother Teresa sets us on the path to closer union with God and greater love for our brothers and sisters.

Book excerpt: “Engaging . . . thoughtful topics and funny moments, cleverness and charm . . . a must-read for Janeites . . . and . . . readers who like smart, and provocative fiction.” —Booklist, starred review A charming, romantic debut novel in which Jane Austen, heralded author, ends up time-traveling almost two hundred years in the future. There she finds the love she's written about and the destiny she's dreamed of . . . but is it worth her legacy? Bath, England, 1803. At twenty-eight, Jane Austen prefers walking and reading to balls and assemblies; she dreams of someday publishing her carefully crafted stories. Already on the shelf and in grave danger of becoming a spinster, Jane goes searching for a radical solution—and as a result, seemingly by accident, time-travels. She lands in . . . Bath, England, present day. The film set of Northanger Abbey. Sofia Wentworth is a Hollywood actress starring in a new period film. When Sofia meets Jane, she marvels at the young actress who can’t seem to “break character,” even off set. And Jane—acquainting herself with the horseless steel carriages and seriously shocking fashion of the twenty-first century—meets Sofia, a woman unlike anyone she’s ever met before. Then she meets Fred, Sofia’s brother, who has the audacity to be handsome, clever, and kind-hearted. What happens when Jane, against her better judgement, falls in love with Fred? And when Sofia learns the truth about her new friend Jane? And worst of all, if Jane stays with Fred, will she ever achieve her dream, the one she's now seen come true? “Artfully written and engaging, Jane in Love is a lively effusion of wit and humor.” —Graeme Simsion, The New York Times–bestselling author of The Rosie Project

Download or read book Sacred Stories Spiritual Tribes written by Nancy Tatom Ammerman and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2014 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nancy Tatom Ammerman examines the stories Americans tell of their everyday lives, from dinner table to office and shopping mall to doctor's office, about the things that matter most to them and the routines they take for granted, and the times and places where the everyday and ordinary meet the spiritual. In addition to interviews and observation, Ammerman bases her findings on a photo elicitation exercise and oral diaries, offering a window into the presence and absence of religion and spirituality in ordinary lives and in ordinary physical and social spaces. The stories come from a diverse array of ninety-five Americans — both conservative and liberal Protestants, African American Protestants, Catholics, Jews, Mormons, Wiccans, and people who claim no religious or spiritual proclivities — across a range that stretches from committed religious believers to the spiritually neutral. Ammerman surveys how these people talk about what spirituality is, how they seek and find experiences they deem spiritual, and whether and how religious traditions and institutions are part of their spiritual lives.

Download or read book The Making of a Mindful Marriage written by Ted W. Raddell Ph.D. and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2021-04-21 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many people who are married feel they love their spouse but can’t seem to get along with them creating frustration, distance, and sometimes, divorce. The problem often lies in a universal tendency to react to each other’s reactions. It may be my spouses words, facial expressions, or tone of voice that completely derails a well-meaning conversation. At other times, worries about a miserable future spousal relationship or getting stuck in past hurts destroys the emotional closeness they desire. Mindfulness, the gift of your full presence, is a powerful antidote to these common stumbling blocks. In practicing the skills contained in this easy-to-read book, you will gain greater mastery of mindfulness. Learning to be more mindful in your marriage will empower you to become more responsive rather than reactive and more emotionally available rather than checked-out. Not only will mindfulness enable you to communicate more effectively, it will help you learn how to love your spouse as he or she deserves to be loved. I commend you for answering God’s call to love one another. Your willingness to “make a mindful marriage” will decrease conflict, improve intimacy and foster closeness and resilience that will be a blessing to you and your family for years to come!

Download or read book Under the Magnifying Glass written by Laroya D. Griffin and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2011-06-21 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To the casual observer, the life of Derrick Anthony Garrett, the pastor of one of Atlantas largest churches, seemed to be one overflowing with blessings and grace. But Pastor Garrett was not the loving man of God they thought they knew. He gave everything he had to his church and his duties, and that didnt leave anything for his family. He was so blinded by ambition that he couldnt see how his behavior was impacting the very people who helped him shine behind the pulpit. Life in the Garrett home was far from blessed, and he just refused to admit his part in his familys often violent life. But despite it all, his family members found the strength to help each other, even if they couldnt help the man himself battle his own demons. His wife and children were forced to dig deep within themselves, within their own faith, to find the courage and strength to go on. They did their best to live by Christian ideals, but his abuse made that a challenge. They struggled to create a sense of love and harmony in their home, but most of all, it was forgiveness that they prayed for. Forgiveness for the actions of the man who was the head of both their church and their family proved harder than they might have imagined, but they did not give up. It would take understanding and most of all forgiveness to restore their fellowship. But they first had to be willing to forgive.
