Book excerpt: "Mantles of Merit - Chin Textiles from Myanmar, India and Bangladesh is the product of many years of research on the history, culture and textiles of the Chin, a heterogeneous group of people, hitherto inadequately studies. Their rich textile culture emphasizes grand blankets and intricate tunics, made of homespun cotton, flax, hemp and silk, dyed with indigo and lac, and woven on a back-tension loom. In considering Chin textiles as art and cultural objects, the authors describe both their beauty and technical virtuosity and their integral role in the Chin effort to achieve merit in this life and the next. The inter-relationships between the complex subdivisions on the Chin and their neighbours are also discussed." "Research involved visits to Chin villages, interviews with weavers and Chin elders, examination of many textile collections, review of the anthropological, missionary and colonial literature and private papers, consultation with other scholars and the assembly of a body of Chin textiles for analysis. Over 650 illustrations with 613 in colour, included detailed drawings of textile structures, photographs taken by early missionaries and scholars, photographs from Chin family albums, as well as close-ups and studio photographs of the world's great collections of Chin textiles."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book How to Flow with Anointings and Mantles written by Ed Dufresne and published by . This book was released on 2009-06 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul said in Second Timothy 4:7, "?I have finished my course?." Paul got through his phases of ministry and fulfilled all God called Him to do. You see, there are phases of ministry that God wants ministers to get into. Not only are ministers to fulfill their phases of ministry, but all of God's people have a ministry to fulfill - if not in the fivefold ministry, they are to fulfill their ministry through the ministry of helps, which means they are to serve in some capacity in their own local church. All Christians have phases of ministry to fulfill, whether in the fivefold ministry or in the ministry of helps; we must all get into the different phases of ministry God has for us. But many people don't know that. They're ignorant of God's plans and purposes for their lives. When you're ignorant of God's will for your life, it's dangerous. I don't know about you, but I'm going to make sure I know where I am in my phases and finish my course. You can too. We're all supposed to be increasing in the knowledge of God's purposes. Will you be diligent to understand your role in the Body of Christ? Are you going to discipline yourself to progress in your anointing? Will you avoid the enemy's tricks to short-circuit your effectiveness in the Body of Christ? If your heart is to walk in the fullness of what God has for you, I believe this book will be a blessing in helping you finish your course.
