Book excerpt: Para las madres y mujeres de fe que no se sienten suficientemente virtuosas o diligentes, para las personas agobiadas por sus errores e incluso para quienes piensan que han fallado, este es un libro poderoso y tranquilizador que examina cómo las mujeres de la Biblia se enfrentaron a escenarios y problemas similares a los que experimenta la mujer de hoy, a la vez que ofrece reflexiones necesarias para ayudarnos a comprender mejor las lecciones que sus vidas tienen para nosotros. En general, las historias bíblicas protagonizadas por hombres se han utilizado frecuentemente, y por largo tiempo, como lecciones para las personas de fe. Es decir, aquellas que son sobre padres e hijos se han centrado, por lo mismo, en estas figuras. Sin embargo, las madres y las hijas de la Biblia tienen historias igualmente poderosas y perspicaces, por ejemplo, pensemos en la madre de Moisés, Jocabed, que asumió enormes riesgos para proteger a su hijo de los planes genocidas del faraón. Pero, también, está el caso de Rebeca, una madre que planea y conspira con deshonra para que su hijo Jacob prospere. Se trata de una mujer que actúa con favoritismo, que practica el engaño y que sacrificaría cualquier cosa por el futuro de su hijo. Así, este libro destaca las lecciones que podemos extraer de Jocabed, Rebeca y otras mujeres de la Biblia mediante un acercamiento a relaciones puntuales entre madres e hijas, madres e hijos, e hijas y padres. Aunque, muy pocas de estas madres e hijas fueron modelos de virtud, se entienden hoy como seres humanos que flaquearon y lucharon por hacer lo mejor que podían a pesar de los fracasos. Algunas escucharon la voz de Dios, otras no lo hicieron. No obstante, en su imperfección, estas mujeres son modelos para nuestras vidas. Sus historias muestran que Dios nos habla no sólo a través de nuestras virtudes, sino también a través de nuestros errores.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION For mothers of faith who don't feel virtuous enough, people who feel burdened by their mistakes, and anyone who has ever failed, a powerful, reassuring book that examines how the women of the Bible coped with situations and problems similar to those experienced by women today and offers much-needed insights to help us better understand the lessons these Biblical lives hold for our own. Biblical stories featuring men have long been used as lessons for people of faith. Biblical stories about parents and children have longer centered on fathers and sons. But the mothers and daughters of the Bible have stories that are just as powerful and insightful--such as Moses' mother, Jochebed, who takes enormous risks to protect her son from Pharaoh's genocidal plans. By contrast, Rebekah is a mother who dishonorably plans and schemes for her son Jacob's advancement. She plays favorites, practices deception, and will sacrifice anything for Jacob's future. This book highlights the lessons we can draw from Jochebed, Rebekah, and other women of the Bible, examining the relationships of mothers and daughters, mothers and sons, and daughters and fathers. Very few of these mothers and daughters were paragons of virtue. They were human beings who faltered and struggled to do their best, yet sometimes failed. While some heard God's voice, others could not. Yet in their imperfection, these women are models for our own lives. Their stories show us that God speaks to us not only through our virtues but through our mistakes as well.

This book was released on 2022-11-01 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EXPLORE THE INTIMATE CONNECTION BETWEEN FAITH AND FAMILY God uses mothers and daughters in critical roles throughout the Old and New Testaments. They are often used to change the course of history, but more importantly, these female relationships and roles reveal a deeper depth of God’s love for and faithfulness to each of us. This workbook is based on the #1 New York Times bestseller, The Mothers and Daughters of the Bible Speak. In these nine lessons, you will consider the parallels between the relationships, experiences, and challenges of women in the Bible as mothers and daughters and your own. You’ll reflect on how God focused on their faith and trust—and how He is doing the same with you. Each lesson includes four components: REFLECT invites you to read key moments of each woman’s life in the Bible and connect with her story. CONNECT asks you to consider how God in the Old Testament or Jesus in the New Testament responds to each woman and what this discloses about His character and how He responds to you. REVEAL provides an opportunity to identify how God works through the woman’s relationship, responses to God, and acts of faith, as well as your similar relationships, responses, and acts of faith. PRAY asks you to prayerfully consider how the woman’s story and how her relationship ties into the work God is doing in your life right now. BONUS SECTIONS: MIRACLES where you’ll be asked to consider the phenomenal eye witness accounts experienced by mothers and daughters and how those incredible events continue to impact your life today. Lessons include: Jochebed and Miriam Ruth and Naomi Elizabeth and Mary Rebekah Bathsheba Mary, Mother of Jesus Dinah Esther Michal

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God always keeps His promises, but not always in the way we expect…. “Have faith” is a phrase we hear all the time. But what does it actually look like to live it out? In The Mothers and Daughters of the Bible Speak, Shannon Bream examines the lives of biblical women to see how God’s plans can turn our worlds upside down. She tells the story of Jochebed, a mother who took enormous risks to protect her son, Moses, from Pharaoh. Could Jochebed have imagined that God’s actual design for her son involved flight into exile and danger? And yet this was all part of the master plan to deliver Israel from slavery. Another biblical mother, Rebekah, made terrible choices in an attempt to ensure her son’s place in history. And a daughter, Michal, struggled to keep her faithless father, Saul, from sin, while battling pride in herself. Through these stories, Shannon explains the intimate connection between faith and family—and how God’s unexpected agenda can redefine the way we think about family. Not all of these mothers and daughters in the Bible were paragons of virtue. Like us, they were human beings who faltered and struggled to do their best. While some heard God’s voice, others chose their own paths. Through the lens of their imperfections, we can see how God used their stories to bring about His divine plans. He’s still doing the same work in our lives today. The Mothers and Daughters of the Bible Speak shows that faith is more often a twisting road than a straight line. Yet, as the stories of biblical families attest, at the end of these journeys lies greater peace and joy than we could ever imagine. Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the host of Fox News @ Night, a deeply personal book about finding purpose and growth amid life’s unpredictability. “What a gift this book will be to your soul.”—Lysa TerKeurst Whether it's her work today as a reporter and host for Fox News, her years in law school, or the time she spent competing in pageants like Miss America, Shannon Bream has spent her entire adult life navigating high-pressure environments where perfection is expected and competition is the name of the game. But in this laugh-out-loud book of stories and inspiration, Shannon shares the moments away from the cameras and the halls of government, in which she learned that the values and faith of her blue-collar upbringing could keep her grounded in a world where everyone wants you to be something other than who you are. In Finding the Bright Side, Shannon continues a conversation about authenticity, humility, and trusting in God that she's already begun with her followers on social media. She shares behind-the-scenes stories from Washington, D.C., revelations from her time reporting on the Supreme Court, and lessons learned from the most challenging moments of her life—from the time she was fired from her first job and told, “You’re the worst person I’ve ever seen on TV,” to the time she heard “There is no cure.” But through all of this, faith (and a little bit of stubbornness!) has helped Shannon to keep hope, find purpose in the pain, and find laughs along the way. Praise for Finding the Bright Side “Integrity. Faith. Diligence. Success. Shannon’s book—and life—elevate these cherished values. For anyone hoping to move forward without compromising convictions, this book is a must read.”—Max Lucado, pastor and bestselling author “In Finding the Bright Side, Shannon reveals that her sunny face and disposition is not just from good genetics. Her success is long in coming and well-deserved. She is sheer joy in a bottle.”—Kathie Lee Gifford, bestselling author of The Rock, the Road and the Rabbi

Download or read book Re mapping World Literature written by Gesine Müller and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2018-03-05 with total page 463 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can we talk about World Literature if we do not actually examine the world as a whole? Research on World Literature commonly focuses on the dynamics of a western center and a southern periphery, ignoring the fact that numerous literary relationships exist beyond these established constellations of thinking and reading within the Global South. Re-Mapping World Literature suggests a different approach that aims to investigate new navigational tools that extend beyond the known poles and meridians of current literary maps. Using the example of Latin American literatures, this study provides innovative insights into the literary modeling of shared historical experiences, epistemological crosscurrents, and book market processes within the Global South which thus far have received scant attention. The contributions to this volume, from renowned scholars in the fields of World and Latin American literatures, assess travelling aesthetics and genres, processes of translation and circulation of literary works, as well as the complex epistemological entanglements and shared worldviews between Latin America, Africa and Asia. A timely book that embraces highly innovative perspectives, it will be a must-read for all scholars involved in the field of the global dimensions of literature.
Download or read book Beyond Bola o written by Héctor Hoyos and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2015-01-27 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through a comparative analysis of the novels of Roberto Bolaño and the fictional work of César Aira, Mario Bellatin, Diamela Eltit, Chico Buarque, Alberto Fuguet, and Fernando Vallejo, among other leading authors, Héctor Hoyos defines and explores new trends in how we read and write in a globalized era. Calling attention to fresh innovations in form, voice, perspective, and representation, he also affirms the lead role of Latin American authors in reshaping world literature. Focusing on post-1989 Latin American novels and their representation of globalization, Hoyos considers the narrative techniques and aesthetic choices Latin American authors make to assimilate the conflicting forces at work in our increasingly interconnected world. Challenging the assumption that globalization leads to cultural homogenization, he identifies the rich textual strategies that estrange and re-mediate power relations both within literary canons and across global cultural hegemonies. Hoyos shines a light on the unique, avant-garde phenomena that animate these works, such as modeling literary circuits after the dynamics of the art world, imagining counterfactual "Nazi" histories, exposing the limits of escapist narratives, and formulating textual forms that resist worldwide literary consumerism. These experiments help reconfigure received ideas about global culture and advance new, creative articulations of world consciousness.

Download or read book Strategic Occidentalism written by Ignacio M. Sanchez Prado and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 2018-08-15 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strategic Occidentalism examines the transformation, in both aesthetics and infrastructure, of Mexican fiction since the late 1970s. During this time a framework has emerged characterized by the corporatization of publishing, a frictional relationship between Mexican literature and global book markets, and the desire of Mexican writers to break from dominant models of national culture. In the course of this analysis, Ignacio M. Sánchez Prado engages with theories of world literature, proposing that “world literature” is a construction produced at various levels, including the national, that must be studied from its material conditions of production in specific sites. In particular, he argues that Mexican writers have engaged in a “strategic Occidentalism” in which their idiosyncratic connections with world literature have responded to dynamics different from those identified by world-systems or diffusionist theorists. Strategic Occidentalism identifies three scenes in which a cosmopolitan aesthetics in Mexican world literature has been produced: Sergio Pitol’s translation of Eastern European and marginal British modernist literature; the emergence of the Crack group as a polemic against the legacies of magical realism; and the challenges of writers like Carmen Boullosa, Cristina Rivera Garza, and Ana García Bergua to the roles traditionally assigned to Latin American writers in world literature.
Download or read book The World Republic of Letters written by Pascale Casanova and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "world of letters" has always seemed a matter more of metaphor than of global reality. In this book, Pascale Casanova shows us the state of world literature behind the stylistic refinements--a world of letters relatively independent from economic and political realms, and in which language systems, aesthetic orders, and genres struggle for dominance. Rejecting facile talk of globalization, with its suggestion of a happy literary "melting pot," Casanova exposes an emerging regime of inequality in the world of letters, where minor languages and literatures are subject to the invisible but implacable violence of their dominant counterparts. Inspired by the writings of Fernand Braudel and Pierre Bourdieu, this ambitious book develops the first systematic model for understanding the production, circulation, and valuing of literature worldwide. Casanova proposes a baseline from which we might measure the newness and modernity of the world of letters--the literary equivalent of the meridian at Greenwich. She argues for the importance of literary capital and its role in giving value and legitimacy to nations in their incessant struggle for international power. Within her overarching theory, Casanova locates three main periods in the genesis of world literature--Latin, French, and German--and closely examines three towering figures in the world republic of letters--Kafka, Joyce, and Faulkner. Her work provides a rich and surprising view of the political struggles of our modern world--one framed by sites of publication, circulation, translation, and efforts at literary annexation.
Download or read book Distant Star written by Roberto Bolaño and published by New Directions Publishing. This book was released on 2004-12-17 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A chilling novel about the nightmare of a corrupt and brutal dictatorship. The star of Roberto Bolano's hair-raising novel Distant Star is Alberto Ruiz-Tagle, an air force pilot who exploits the 1973 coup to launch his own version of the New Chilean Poetry, a multimedia enterprise involving sky-writing, poetry, torture, and photo exhibitions. For our unnamed narrator, who first encounters this "star" in a college poetry workshop, Ruiz-Tagle becomes the silent hand behind every evil act in the darkness of Pinochet's regime. The narrator, unable to stop himself, tries to track Ruiz-Tagle down, and sees signs of his activity over and over again. A corrosive, mocking humor sparkles within Bolano's darkest visions of Chile under Pinochet. In Bolano's world there's a big graveyard and there's a big graveyard laugh. (He once described his novel By Night in Chile as "a tale of terror, a situation comedy, and a combination pastoral-gothic novel.") Many Chilean authors have written about the "bloody events of the early Pinochet years, the abductions and murders," Richard Eder commented in the The New York Times: "None has done it in so dark and glittering a fashion as Roberto Bolano."
