Download or read book Sins of the Spirit Blessings of the Flesh Revised Edition written by Matthew Fox and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2016-03-15 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Visionary theologian and award-winning author Matthew Fox challenges traditional perceptions of good and evil by offering a new theology that lays the groundwork for a more enlightened treatment of ourselves, one another, and all of nature. In this revised edition with a luminous foreword by Deepak Chopra and a new preface that brings the book up to date with the cataclysmic events of the new millennium, Fox illustrates how, contrary to mainstream church doctrine, flesh is the grounding of spirit. Fox argues that our culture has concentrated far too much on transgressions of the flesh while failing to take into account its sacredness. Artfully weaving together the wisdom of East and West, he considers Thomas Aquinas's definition of sin as "misdirected love" and applies parallels between the Eastern teachings of the seven chakras and the Western teachings of the seven capital sins. Fox explains how the chakras teach us to direct the love-energies we all possess and proposes seven positive precepts for living a full and spirited life. He invites us to change the way we think about sin and asserts that we can combat and transform evil through love, generosity, letting go, and creativity. Crafting a blueprint for social change, Sins of the Spirit, Blessings of the Flesh points the way toward a deeper and more compassionate way to live while eloquently revealing the means to confront evil both within and without.

Download or read book Sin Eater written by Megan Campisi and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-04-07 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “For fans of The Handmaid’s Tale...a debut novel with a dark setting and an unforgettable heroine...is a riveting depiction of hard-won female empowerment” (The Washington Post). The Sin Eater walks among us, unseen, unheard Sins of our flesh become sins of Hers Following Her to the grave, unseen, unheard The Sin Eater Walks Among Us. For the crime of stealing bread, fourteen-year-old May receives a life sentence: she must become a Sin Eater—a shunned woman, brutally marked, whose fate is to hear the final confessions of the dying, eat ritual foods symbolizing their sins as a funeral rite, and thereby shoulder their transgressions to grant their souls access to heaven. Orphaned and friendless, apprenticed to an older Sin Eater who cannot speak to her, May must make her way in a dangerous and cruel world she barely understands. When a deer heart appears on the coffin of a royal governess who did not confess to the dreadful sin it represents, the older Sin Eater refuses to eat it. She is taken to prison, tortured, and killed. To avenge her death, May must find out who placed the deer heart on the coffin and why. “Very much reminiscent of The Handmaid’s Tale…it transcends its historical roots to give us a modern heroine” (Kirkus Reviews). “A novel as strange as it is captivating” (BuzzFeed), The Sin Eater “is a treat for fans of feminist speculative fiction” (Publishers Weekly) and “exactly what historical fiction lovers have unknowingly craved” (New York Journal of Books).

Book excerpt: 23 strange-but-true stories of women flirting with perdition... In the steamy South, temptation is as wild and plentiful as kudzu. Whether the sin in question is skinny-dipping or becoming an unlikely porn star, running rum or renting out a room to a pair of exhibitionistic adulterers, in these true stories women defy tradition and forge their own paths through life—often learning unexpected lessons from the experience. As Dorothy Allison writes in her introduction, “The most dangerous stories are the true ones, the ones we hesitate to tell, the adventures laden with fear or shame or the relentless pull of regret. Some of those are about things that we are secretly deeply proud to have done.” A diverse array of contributors—mothers, daughters, sisters, best friends, fiancées, divorcees, professors, poets, lifeguards-in-training, lapsed Baptists, tipsy debutantes, middle-aged lesbians—lend their voices to this collection. Introspective and abashed, joyous and triumphant (but almost never apologetic), they remind us that sin, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.

Download or read book An American Sin written by Frederick Su and published by Bytewrite. This book was released on 2001 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I killed because I was Asian fighting in an Asian war. How else could I prove I was American?" David Wong, the protagonist, asks. While on long-range patrol in Vietnam, he and his squad ran into an old Mama-san and her granddaughter. "We were in enemy territory. We couldn't handle excess baggage," he explains to his psychiatrist. "Our fear spawned a darkness in our hearts." "Waste 'em," the lieutenant said. No one moved. Then Wong did. "I came closer, the knife looming large over her. Her eyes widened. Then she looked me in the eye. It was a look of total disdain, total contempt. In those eyes, that face, that race, that culture, I saw my grandmother. But I pushed away the thought. I stabbed, I stabbed. My heart had turned as cold and dark as the jungle. The cold, cruel silvery blade turned red. Then I looked to the little girl." Haunted by what he had done, Wong's lifeline is tied to three people, Erlandson, his psychiatrist, and two women-one Chinese, one Caucasian. Only they can help him wend a path out of his morbid self-hate. Going across country, Wong meets the hero of My Lai. My Lai was the great American Sin, where American troops killed more than 500 unarmed civilians. Before this hero, Wong feels a great shame. Here was a round-eye who saved slant-eyes, and Wong was a slant-eye who killed slant-eyes. For what? The approbation of his comrades. The novel also follows the poignant story of Stella Abramson, whose husband Jake was killed in the Tet Offensive. He was Wong's buddy, representing Honor, Duty, and Sacrifice-an antithesis to Wong's character flaw. Their stories converge at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Book jacket.
Download or read book Sin written by Hugh Connolly and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2010-07-15 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Connolly investigates the realities of sin through reflection on different biblical and literary texts. Writers as varied as Sophocles, Graham Greene, Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Irvine Welsh help illuminate different models of sin. Physical evil, law and morality, alienation and existence, power and money, spiritual love and failure are some of the ever-compelling themes that are scrutinized. In Dostoevsky's novels, sin is the rejection of life and love and a refusal to commit oneself to destiny. This book rediscovers a truly relational understanding of sin and moves toward a more adult conception of the mystery of sin and forgiveness.
