Book excerpt: Words are the foundation of all communication―the foundation upon which we build our understanding of the world around us … of nature, philosophy, faith, and of ourselves. But where do those words come from? Using humor and insight paired with in-depth etymological knowledge, the author explores the origins of over two hundred words commonly found within the sphere of religion and spirituality. Created to give voice to reflection and emotion, such words are like windows we can look through to see the meaning and wonder of our lives. As such, the more we know about how they evolved, the more we can appreciate the experiences and wisdom of those who created them and recognize how such words continue to evolve in use and meaning. This provocative book will help you rethink the words you use to speak about spirituality and faith. This book will give you a new appreciation for their origins and power.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perhaps Charles Wesley's two volumes of Funeral Hymns (1746 and 1759), plus a few poems left in manuscript form, are the least known of his poetical corpus. They are a treasury, however, of his views on the importance of women in eighteenth-century England as examples of how to live the Christian life. Entries in his MS Journal indicate an extremely positive relationship with women who are his coequals in mission and in the Methodist societies, and much of the work depended on them. Furthermore, Charles wrote numerous poems about women, often occasioned by death, which lift up individual women as models for the community at large and the church. The intent of this volume is not to present a historical survey of these women or their historical place per se in the early Methodist movement, rather the primary goal is to discover a literature that helps us to see the values which women had in the early Methodist movement and how those values were acknowledged, recorded, and fostered or encouraged by Charles Wesley, particularly in his poetry. The title, May She Have a Word with You, suggests there is a need today to hear of these women's exemplary words, deeds, and lives as a whole.

Download or read book The God of Intimacy and Action written by Mary Albert Darling and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2019-03-05 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acclaimed evangelical speaker and writer Tony Campolo teams up with spiritual director and teacher Mary Albert Darling to reveal some gems from the liturgical Christian tradition to Protestants who may be ready for a refreshing change. While steeped in their own evangelical tradition, the authors are not afraid to venture back into Christian history and reclaim practices that have long been considered exclusively Catholic--including Centering Prayer, along with works by Ignatius Loyola and Catherine of Siena--as excellent spiritual tools to help evangelicals grow in faith and love for the poor. A vital theme in Campolo and Darling's work is that spirituality is not solely an individualistic practice but must lead Christians to love and help the oppressed. True Christian mysticism, they posit, is not an either/or proposition. That's because the nexus between evangelism and justice is to be found in Christian mysticism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thirty-four famous international leaders and experts within business, politics, art, sport, philanthropy and more - including Philip Kotler, Anita Roddick, Michael Dukakis and Philippe Starck - are united in a timeless and universal project about leadership, ethics and visions. The modern topics discussed in each chapter of The Mind of a Leader are closely related to the issues raised in the 26 chapters of Niccolò Machiavelli's controversial strategic masterpiece ‘The Prince'. The multi-cultural project examines different aspects of modern leadership and encourages future leaders to be strategic, but also responsible and humane when achieving ambitious goals. The project reveals the participants' personal views and not their knowledge in terms of Machiavelli. The Mind of a Leader is an outstanding training and development tool. Each chapter features questions, conclusions and practical hands-on advice in regards to both individual and organizational success. A fascinating journey to the inside of successful modern organizations and leadership minds.

Download or read book THE RED THUMB MARK THE EYE OF OSIRIS THE MYSTERY OF 31 NEW INN 3 British Mystery Classics in One Volume written by R. Austin Freeman and published by e-artnow. This book was released on 2016-03-23 with total page 595 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This carefully crafted ebook: "THE RED THUMB MARK, THE EYE OF OSIRIS & THE MYSTERY OF 31 NEW INN (3 British Mystery Classics in One Volume)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. Dr. John Thorndyke is a fictional detective in a series of novels. He is a medical jurispractitioner - originally a medical doctor, he turned to the bar and became one of the first, in modern parlance, forensic scientists. His solutions were based on his method of collecting all possible data (including dust and pond weed) and making inferences from them before looking at any of the protagonists and motives in the crimes. It is this method which gave rise to one of Freeman's most ingenious inventions, the inverted detective story, where the criminal act is described first and the interest lies in Thorndyke's subsequent unraveling of it. Richard Austin Freeman (1862-1943) was a British writer of detective stories, mostly featuring the medico-legal forensic investigator Dr. Thorndyke. Freeman used some of his early experiences as a colonial surgeon in his novels. Many of the Dr. Thorndyke stories involve genuine, but often quite arcane, points of scientific knowledge, from areas such as tropical medicine, metallurgy and toxicology.

Download or read book The Group written by Donald Rosenstein and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On a mid-October evening, a group of fathers gathered around a conference table and met each other for the first time. None of the men had ever thought of himself a "support group kind of guy" and each felt entirely out of place. In fact, nothing about their lives felt normal anymore. The Group: Seven Widowed Fathers Reimagine Life chronicles the challenges and triumphs of seven men whose wives died from cancer and were left to raise their young children entirely on their own. Brought together by tragedy, the fathers - Neill, Dan, Bruce, Karl, Joe, Steve, and Russ - forged an uncommon bond. Over time, group meetings evolved into a forum for reinvention and transformed the men in unexpected ways. Through the fathers' poignant interactions, The Group illustrates that while some wounds never fully heal, each of us has the potential to construct a new and meaningful future. Rosenstein and Yopp, co-leaders of the support group, weave together the fathers' stories with contemporary research on grief and adaptation. The Group traces a compelling journey of healing and personal discovery that no book has ever captured before. The men's touching efforts to care for their families, grieve for their wives, and reimagine their futures will inspire anyone who has suffered a major loss.
