Download or read book Intimate Lies and the Law written by Jill Elaine Hasday and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-06-25 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jill Elaine Hasday's Intimate Lies and the Law won the Scribes Book Award from the American Society of Legal Writers "for the best work of legal scholarship published during the previous year" and the Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Award for Family and Relationships. Intimacy and deception are often entangled. People deceive to lure someone into a relationship or to keep her there, to drain an intimate's bank account or to use her to acquire government benefits, to control an intimate or to resist domination, or to capture myriad other advantages. No subject is immune from deception in dating, sex, marriage, and family life. Intimates can lie or otherwise intentionally mislead each other about anything and everything. Suppose you discover that an intimate has deceived you and inflicted severe-even life-altering-financial, physical, or emotional harm. After the initial shock and sadness, you might wonder whether the law will help you secure redress. But the legal system refuses to help most people deceived within an intimate relationship. Courts and legislatures have shielded this persistent and pervasive source of injury, routinely denying deceived intimates access to the remedies that are available for deceit in other contexts. Intimate Lies and the Law is the first book that systematically examines deception in intimate relationships and uncovers the hidden body of law governing this duplicity. Hasday argues that the law has placed too much emphasis on protecting intimate deceivers and too little importance on helping the people they deceive. The law can and should do more to recognize, prevent, and redress the injuries that intimate deception can inflict.

Download or read book Woman A Spiritual Son of God written by Candace D. Keller and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2024-03-10 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout centuries, the identity of a woman has suffered because she has not been taught to understand the truth about her created identity and her potential for overcoming deception. The Bible contains scriptures that hold the key to unlocking the ordained path that will lead to a woman’s personal fulfillment as well as her destiny by knowing God through intimate fellowship with Him. It is a message that is powerful, liberating, and life-changing. In a thought-provoking exploration of this fascinating topic, Candace Keller, a certified lay speaker with the United Methodist Church, details how scripture defines a woman. It addresses how and why the first woman was named Eve, scrutinizes the consequence of mankind’s fall that impacted the identity of all women that existed after her. It examines how the current condition of the woman differs from the original intent and design of God and what that means to each individual woman today. Woman: A Spiritual Son of God provides a detailed analysis of the Bible’s definition of a woman and how she has learned to discover her identity through embracing His unconditional love.
Download or read book Marriage from the Heart written by Donald R. Downing and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2010-04 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marriage is God's idea. He has no bad ideas. He brought Eve to Adam, married them and they lived as husband and wife for over 900 years (Genesis 2:21-25 and 5:5). By this, we can conclude that divorce was not God's idea but Satan's idea, to destroy God's ideas, plans and purpose of marriage between a man and a woman. We seek to find the right person when the greater picture is to be the right person. Man sets the time for the wedding, but God sets the time for the marriage. There is a great difference between a wedding and a marriage. Many walk down the aisle to be wedded for all the wrong reasons. Saying "I do" and placing wedding rings upon fingers does not always mean they are married within their hearts. This book reveals that a man and a woman may marry, and yet not be a true husband and wife. It stresses the importance of friendship, courtship, engagement and being married from the heart. Introducing a revolutionary approach to the covenant of marriage, this book addresses commitment, romance, love, keeping a right heart, a sound mind and a pure relationship. Dr. Donald R. Downing is a heart physician and specialist from God to the body of Christ. He has written over 12 books, and considers Marriage from the Heart to be one of his most important writings. He believes the only way to defeat the high rate of divorce and separation is to restore romance to the relationship and to be truly married from the heart. FEATURING DRS. MELVIN AND ROBIN THORNHILL Melvin and Robin Thornhill are the founders and presidents of Destiny New Image Ministries. They have a combined 50 years of experience in family and marriage counseling.
Download or read book Coyness and Crime in Restoration Comedy written by Peggy Thompson and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2012 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coyness and Crime examines the extraordinary focus on feminine coyness in forty English comedies by ten diverse playwrights of the late seventeenth-century. In contexts ranging from reaffirmations of church and king to emerging interests in liberty and novelty, these plays consistently reveal women caught in an ironic and nearly intractable convergence of objectification and culpability that allows them little innocent sexual agency; this is both the source and the legacy of coyness in Restoration comedy.
Download or read book The Rape of Eve written by Celene Lillie and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2017-01-01 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sex, violence, power, and redemption. In recent decades, scholars of New Testament and early Christian traditions have given new attention to the relationships between gender and imperial power in the Roman world. In this surprising work, Celene Lillie examines core passages from three Gnostic texts from Nag Hammadi, On the Origin of the World, The Reality of the Rulers, and the Secret Revelation of John, in which Eve is portrayed as having been humiliated by the cosmic powers, yet experiencing restoration. Lillie compares that pattern with Gnostic savior motifs concerning Jesus and Seth, then sets it in the broader context of Roman cosmogonic myths at play in imperial ideology. The Nag Hammadi texts, she argues, offer us a window into symbolic forms of Christian resistance to imperial ideology. This groundbreaking study highlights the importance of the Nag Hammadi writings for our fuller appreciation of the currents of Christian response to the Roman Empire and the culture of rape pervasive within it.
Download or read book The Ancient Aesthetics of Deception written by Jonas Grethlein and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-09-16 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of mimesis has dominated reflection on the nature and role, in Greek literature, of representation. Jonas Grethlein, in his ambitious new book, takes this reflection a step further. He argues that, beyond mimesis, there was an important but unacknowledged strand of reflection focused instead on the nuanced idea of apatē (often translated into English as 'deceit'), oscillating between notions of 'deception' and 'aesthetic illusion'. Many authors from Gorgias and Plato to Philo, Plutarch and Clement of Alexandria used this key concept to entwine aesthetics with ethics. In creatively exploring the various reconfigurations of apatē, and placing these in their socio-historical contexts, the book offers a bold new history of ancient aesthetics. It also explores the present significance of the aesthetics of deception, unlocking the potential of ancient reflection for current debates on the ethical dimension of representation. It will appeal to scholars in classics and literary theory alike.

Download or read book Don T Be a Foolish Virgin written by Sharon D. Watts and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2012-08-07 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Title of the book is Dont Be a Foolish Virgin! The sub-title is Confessions of a Foolish Virgin. When God gave me this title a few years ago, I did not understand what he wanted me to write. As I was studying the Bible a few years later, I came across this scripture, Therefore this is what the LORD says: Inquire among the nations: Who has ever heard anything like this? A most horrible thing has been done by Virgin Israel. Jeremiah 18:13 (NIV) and in Amos 5:1-2a says, Listen, you people of Israel! Listen to this funeral song I am singing: The virgin Israel has fallen Virgin is the Children of Israel, in current day we too are the Children of Israel. All of us are included. My Introduction starts with one of my favorite scriptures, But the jar he was making did not turn out as he had hoped, so he crushed it into a lump of clay again and started over. Jeremiah 18:4. God is giving me an extreme makeover. This book is my story of how God showed me his unconditional love. You will learn what sin is, where sin came from, when and why we sin, who has sinned and the side-effects of sin. You will walk through forgiveness, asking and accepting forgiveness, and forgiving yourself and others. My goal is to help you focus on your state of mind when you fall and prepare you to avoid the attacks of the enemy. Your eyes will be opened to Gods unconditional love for you as you read about Hoseas obedience to God by marrying Gomer, a harlot, to show his unconditional love for the Children of Israel. Do you know what your special needs are? If not, youll find out. Ill briefly discuss our opportunities to share with others how God has comforted and forgiven us. There is a personal Spiritual Assessment at the end of the book. This fifteen page assessment is for the reader to examine themselves. To guide them as to what areas of their lives that needs attention. God is waiting!
Download or read book The Complete Works of Zacharias Tanee Fomum on Holiness written by Zacharias Tanee Fomum and published by ZTF Books Online. This book was released on with total page 1024 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Complete Works of Zacharias Tanee Fomum on Holiness contains the following books: True Repentance Restitution Deliverance from Sin The Way of Sanctification You Can Receive a Pure Heart Today The School of Truth The Believer’s Conscience The Sin before You Can Lead to Death: Do not commit it! A Vessel of Honour A Broken Vessel Holiness seems to have become an elusive theme in our day. Many preachers prefer to shy away from preaching it. Why? Because they don’t live it. In this way, the enemy is fighting holiness like nothing else, since he knows we have all been commanded to be holy, even as He is holy (Leviticus 19:2). The Bible says, “You must distinguish between the holy and the common, between the unclean and the clean, and you must teach the Israelites all the decrees the Lord has given them through Moses” (Leviticus 10:10-11). So holiness has to do with being uncommon and extraordinary, clean at heart, and teaching it by example. This makes holiness a subject that is related to sinlessness, righteousness, and godliness. It begins with true repentance. A person who has not known true repentance unto God and faith in the Lord Jesus, cannot be holy. Attempting holiness without true repentance would be wood, hay, and stubble, ready to be burned in the fire. He who repents truly will naturally and easily carry out restitution for past stolen, defrauded, borrowed, or unpaid things. Every holy person is uncommon in that he has experienced deliverance from all sin, through knowing, reckoning, yielding entirely to God, and walking in the Spirit. He has entered the way of sanctification. He has received a pure heart and enrolled in the School of Truth. A holy man is a man with an all-good conscience, who shuns all sin because he cherishes his relationship with God. He refrains from all sin because he would not want to court God’s judgment. He has willingly offered himself to be broken and, for that reason, has become a vessel of honour. Following the simple, practical steps outlined in this anthology will carry you into the way of holiness. We send this first volume on holiness out with a cry to the Lord that, He should use it to bring many to the way of holiness that has become so elusive in our day.
