Download or read book Keeping the Lid on written by Logie Barrow and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2010-04-16 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contributors to this book have explored various aspects of urban imagination, so intimately related to a peculiar social environment. They are historians and geographers, linguists and cultural students. Their methodologies are very different, their sources poles apart. And yet, they address the same object of study, social and spatial segregation and urban eruptions, though severally defined: from epidemics to anarchist scares, urban uprisings to mental maps, or the reverberations of urban memories in song, novels and museums. Case studies consider the towns of Liverpool, London, Hull, New York, Salvador de Bahia, or more generally France and America. The networks created among intellectuals and labourers, anarchists and migrants, or the lack of communication between those who feel oppressed (rioters, strikers, anti-vaccination protesters) and those in control, are a further common denominator. In a way, urban epidemics were the epitome of the repulsive character large cities possessed in the eyes even of their own inhabitants. If they were the receptacle of so many foreigners, and shady political characters, if they were the scenes of social and ethnic conflict, and violence, and promiscuity, and prostitution, and drunkenness, and pauperism, they were of necessity a festering sore which nothing could eradicate. It is strange that something of this fear should linger on today—otherwise, how can one explain the lacunae in the official memory of museums?—despite the cultural efforts produced in the opposite direction, with Ackroyd's love for East-End London, with the revival of a Little Italy in every major American city, with the nostalgic folklorisation of past miseries in Salvador de Bahia and in popular song. What sense of belonging can be generated by an obliteration of the past, what dynamic local culture can spring from an absence, from a hole in collective memory? This book goes some way to filling those gaps.

Book excerpt: In this uproariously funny novel from "a national literary treasure," a career criminal is offered a new life outside of prison -- if he can steal a compromising video of the president (Booklist). Meehan, a career thief staring at life without parole, is awaiting sentencing at the Manhattan Correctional Center when he is called to a meeting by someone masquerading as his lawyer. The man, it turns out, represents the presidential re-election campaign committee -- now finding itself in need of a little professional help. So they "outsource" Meehan in return for a walk from all pending criminal charges. All he has to do is steal a compromising video tape before the other side springs an "October Surprise" on the president. A shrewd burglar, Meehan bites, and shows just how easy Watergate would have been had they left it to the professionals.

Download or read book Blowing the Lid Off the God Box written by Anne Robertson and published by Church Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2005-04-01 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What's in your God-box? Each of us, says author Anne Robertson, builds our own way of understanding God-our "God-box"-- and fills it up with bits of scripture, wisdom, and our experiences of God at work in our lives. It's a perfectly good way to puzzle out what God means to us. Encountering God through our human limitations, we learn something about the meaning of Incarnation. But to say that our experience of God is the only valid one is to put a lid on the box and create an idol. This book is about examining our God-boxes and bursting them wide open. Blowing the Lid Off the God-Box starts with the ministry of Jesus - who blew the lid off everyone's God-box by constantly challenging his followers with the unexpected. Subsequent chapters examine the God-boxes we create with scripture, worship, and political and social agendas.

Download or read book Take the Lid Off written by Smokie Norful and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2017-09-05 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pastor and Grammy-winning musician Smokie Norful inspires readers to go to God and experience more fulfillment, delight, power, and success than they ever dreamed. According to Smokie Norful, sometimes our lives feel like a pot of rice in his grandmother’s kitchen: hissing, boiling over, about to explode and create panic. The only way to avoid an explosion is to take the lid off—that is, to stop being trapped inside ourselves and instead look to God and his grace to make us all he intends us to be. Taking the lid off, Norful argues, entails four actions: look inward, experiencing the cleansing of forgiveness and the power of the Holy Spirit; look outward, seeking for others to experience the joy of living for God and have the best God has to offer; look upward and marvel at God’s love and strength to accomplish his purposes; and move onward, devising a strategy to accomplish all God has put in our hearts to do. When we take these four steps, the pressure goes down, we gain peace and perception, and things work out much better in the end. When we finally take the lid off, we can become the people God has created us to be and do what we were intended to do. We get in touch with the unlimited power of his Spirit, we’re directed by the challenge of his purposes, and we experience the joy of seeing him use us to change lives. All of us need help in taking the lid off in order to trust God, take action, and reach our full potential.

Download or read book Knock out Liberalism and Keep Our Country Strong for All Americans written by R.T. Brown and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2019-03-22 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are about taking action and rattling the cages of the liberals and not sitting on our hands and complaining. There are solutions to our many problems, and we are looking for others who are ready to make a difference for a better country for all Americans. The liberals will be exposed and made irrelevant as we promote the benefits of being a real conservative. One of our goals is to earn 20 percent of the Black vote in the 2020 election all across America. This gets done with our tools and excellent strategy that is hard hitting. We will be on billboards delivering the truth and facts all across America. We also have as our goal to get the majority of the Hispanic vote by 2020. We will bring millions of voters to the Republican Party with our persuasion and common sense solutions. This is not the typical campaign that is run by both parties but a 365-day a-year plan that exposes, teaches, and motivates Americans to be the best they can be in their everyday life. Check out my book that introduces Conservative Wisdom United and see what we have planned for America. You are about to make a small investment that will keep our country strong for our future generations. It is imperative for us to get the ball rolling in the right direction and to get involved before it is too late.
