Download or read book It Is the Same Light written by Daljit Singh Jawa and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2015-03-28 with total page 701 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sri Guru Granth Sahib is generally known as the holy scripture of Sikhism, the worlds fifth largest religion. But this holy scripture is neither a storybook nor just the philosophy of the Sikh saints or prophets. It is more like a collection of divine revelations and hymns, expressing the feelings of love and devotion of the Sikh Gurus for the Supreme Being, along with the similar yearnings and longings of the devotees and saints from all faiths prevalent in Indian subcontinent during those times. The beauty of this 1430 page hymnal written in 22 different languages lies in the fact that while it spiritually connects the human mind to the original source of eternal bliss, it provides a very practical and effective way to live in love and harmony with other fellow human beings irrespective of their faith, color, caste, creed, or race. The following are a few examples of the views of eminent writers and scholars regarding Sri Guru Granth Sahib: Mankinds religious future may be obscure, yet one thing can be foreseen. The living higher religions are going to influence each other more than ever before, in the days of increasing communications between all parts of the world and branches of the human race. In this coming religious debate, the Sikh religion and its scriptures, the Sri Guru Granth Sahib will have something of special value to say to the rest of the world. Arnold Toynbee- Historian I have studied the scripture of great religions, but I do not find elsewhere the same power of appeal to the heart and mind as I find here in these volumes [of Sri Guru Granth Sahib]. There is something strangely modern about these scriptures. They speak to the people of any religion or of none. They speak for the human heart and the searching mind. Mrs. Pearl S. Buck- Nobel Laureate In Volume five of the It Is The Same Light series (SGGS pages 801-1000), author Daljit Singh Jawa continues his humble effort to share the beauty of the SGGS with those who have limited familiarity with the language (Gurumukhi), history, or context. The following are some of the comments received on the volume 7 (pages 1201-1430 of SGGS): This translation of Guru Granth Sahib is one of the best English translations in my view, as it is in simple understandable English, each shabads summary message is given, there is connection between the shabads to reveal continuity of thought process in Guru jis message. Thanks to S Daljit Singh ji for the great work which will benefit future generations understand Guru Jis message easily. -Amarjit Singh, M.D., University at Buffalo, Buffalo, NY A monumental undertaking, reflecting a lifetime of devotion to the Sri Guru Granth Sahib and to the scholarly study of its voluminous texts. Both its rendition of the original Gurmukhi script, with accompanying English transliteration, and its erudite commentary on each of the Granths many hymns mark this work as a stunning achievement which will benefit all serious students of the Sikh religion and of world religions in general. -Barry Crawford, Ph.D., Washburn Univesity, Topeka, Kansas

Download or read book Growing up with God and Empire written by Stephanie Vandrick and published by Multilingual Matters. This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes the memoirs of 42 ‘missionary kids’ – the children of North American Protestant missionaries in countries all over the world during the 20th century. Using a postcolonial lens the book explores ways in which the missionary enterprise was part of, or intersected with, the Western colonial enterprise, and ways in which a colonial mindset is unconsciously manifested in these memoirs. The book explores how the memoirists’ sites and experiences are exoticized; the missionary kids’ likelihood of learning – or not learning – local languages; the missionary families’ treatment of servants and other local people; and gender, race and social class aspects of the missionary kids’ experiences. Like other Third Culture Kids, the memoirists are migrants, travelers, border-crossers and border-dwellers who alternate between insider and outsider statuses, and their words shed light on the effects of movement and travel on children’s lives and development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This epic tale takes place on an immense vessel named Cosmos, a ship that represents the whole of the universe and everything within her from the micro to the macro. We experience and see this wonderful and complex world through the eyes of our main character, Eon, who, after a chance encounter at "Sanctuary", a gray and dreary bar, sets out on a journey of spiritual discovery full of peril, tears, and joy. On his Adventure, he meets Vile the depressor, a creature who works for the ship's dark and sinister Captain. He comes face-to-face with the all-consuming darkness of the Procession, where dead men are laid to rest and from where the faithful rise again. And he meets the Voice, a being who appears to be made of light who is full of love and mercy. The allegory follows him and his exploits and is meant to provide sound insight and biblical wisdom into the life of Christians young or old, from rebirth to resurrection.

Book excerpt: Why do you need this book? Because there are treasures in tradition. In stark contrast to the common belief that youth workers require nothing less than a light show, smoke machine, and sweaty punk-rock band to reach teenagers' souls, more and more youth have actually been moving toward depth and quiet--and away from fluff and noise. Creeds, candles, silence, and ancient spiritual practices are all gaining understanding and popularity among students who're passionately seeking otherworldly and mysterious fragrances. They're realizing that there are treasures in tradition.

They tell the from-the-gut truth about what you and your kids face every day--and in language that won't leave anybody scratching their heads. It's practical. These tools are for just about any situation you can think of. Need a prayer for a lock-in? For family? For loving enemies? For final exams? How about a mind-blowing "Dumpster" Christmas service? An eye-opening service for All Hallows Eve? Or the most intense service for Good Friday you've ever experienced? They're all here--along with many other innovative vehicles for bringing your students into communion with God. It's unparalleled. This book is for all denominations. It doesn't matter if you’re mainline or evangelical, Protestant or Catholic; The Book of Uncommon Prayer is geared for all teenagers and youth workers in Jesus' church!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Properties of Feelings is a read beyond comprehension into the unknown shadows of the universe. Being beyond strength and imagination I cannot explain it further this author has seen the best of the world. It bleeds is the strength and commitment of this book. Believing is the end of everything is the statement of this book. How can I survive is the question this book attempts to solve. Now I will tell you to look no further if you are exploring the universe and in search of answers to the impossible. Why can’t I believe is the question we most often ask in a universe that says the answers aren’t there. Keep trying and if you think the answers aren’t there ask again. Ever wonder where your feelings come from? I cannot explain it but your feelings are real and the universe will support this idea. It isn’t the idea that you are real it is the idea that feelings make it so. Belief is supported through strength and courage and conviction. Heart is everything in a world of plenty. Life begins and ends on a notation that sings. Politics is everything to a philosophy that ordains it. Now I must excuse this book as far as I can tell it believes in something called the notation. But enough about that if you believe in something you believe in your feelings. Ask more about them and you will find them in this book. Properties of feelings is a manuscript that feels.”
