Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peace Studies Gratitude Dear Mr. McCarthy: My favorite thing about Peace Studies has been all the guest speakers. Each one brought something new to the forefront of my mind, reminding me how self-absorbed we all can be. I hope to someday emulate the qualities all these speakers possess: kindness, perseverance, bravery, humility, and passion. From learning about poverty and immigration, to peace movements and protests, I have learned so much more in peace studies than I could ever learn in a chemistry or US history class. Elizabeth Mulvihill Dear Mr. McCarthy: Through your lessons you have exposed the lowest parts of human nature, our follies, and our brutality, but through all the wonderful speakers you brought in I have seen true generosity, tenacity, optimism, grit, and love for humankind. I have never felt so much love in a classroom until now . . . . So much change in our world is influenced by greed, hate, and self-interest. I am happy to have encountered the few who are not, thanks to your class. I've become a better person who is ready to be more active in the community and more ready to share her love with the world. Thanks, thanks, and thanks again. Elizabeth Stephens

Download or read book Teaching Peace written by Colman McCarthy and published by Vanderbilt University Press. This book was released on 2015-02-28 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To see if nonviolence could be taught, in 1982 Colman McCarthy became a volunteer teacher at one of the poorest high schools in Washington, DC. In the thirty-two years since then, he has taught peace studies courses for more than ten thousand college and high school students. Large numbers of those students have faithfully kept in touch with McCarthy, often with handwritten letters, and he has answered them with the same seriousness he brought to his columns and books. The exchanges rise to a rare kind of literature that blends personal warmth, intellectual honesty, and shared idealism. The discussions range from peace and war to a host of other issues of social justice, such as the death penalty, human rights, poverty, the living wage, animal rights, and vegetarianism. The wide-ranging letters suggest how teacher and students co-create a world of more love and less hate.

Download or read book Awareness of the Heart written by Dennis Maglinte and published by Dennis T. Maglinte. This book was released on 2011-05-24 with total page 819 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: So often in many people's lives, there is an awakening. For some it comes out of nowhere, and for others it seems as though it has always been. Seemingly from darkness, a light turns on, and all that was once confusing becomes clear, and all that was once hidden is revealed. Some call this enlightenment. Some call this a revelation. Some call this peace. I call it an awareness of the heart. The following passages were written between late 2002 until 2010. Inspired by those around me, including loved ones, family, friends and strangers, and by the happenings of the world we share, my heart was poured onto paper. Though these words were written by my hand and sometimes spoken by my tongue, there is nothing unique about them, for the stirring in me is also in you. So whether you choose to read the following passages in order, read it backwards, or randomly allow yourself to pick a page, don't follow me. Instead, take a journey into your own heart and see where it takes you. Throughout these pages, you will find references to God, Allah, Great Spirit, The Divine, Elohim, Yahweh, Jehovah, He who has no name, and a myriad of other beliefs. Though our words and our thoughts may differ, today, allow yourself to read with an open mind, an open heart and an open spirit. Let your heart inspire you. Let God work through you by being you.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Awaken and Stir Up the Gift of Love will reveal what love is and what it is not. It is a tool to challenge your ability to love others the way you would like to be loved. Elnora Wilson wants to show you the different types of love and the experiences you may face. Eros: sexual passion Phileo: brotherly love Storge: love for a child Theres nothing wrong with these emotions of love when expressed in their place. Unfortunately, when people aim to fulfill their lives by searching for love in physical relationships, it could suggest that something greater is missing from their spiritual lives. This book will help you understand that passion may fade in time, friendships may fail over a period of time, and children will leave home in due time. Therefore, the eternal love of agape is the only way to truly satisfy an empty soul.

This book was released on 2021-08-13 with total page 2562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last of the Augustan poets, following Dryden and Pope in the use of the heroic couplet, George Crabbe was an important literary figure of the early nineteenth century. Lord Byron famously described him as “nature’s sternest painter, yet the best.” Esteemed by the Romantics as a rebel against the genteel fancy of his day, Crabbe pleaded for the poet’s right to describe the commonplace realities and miseries of human life. He is best known for his early use of the realistic narrative form and his detailed descriptions of middle and working-class life, which is unsentimental in its portrayal. The Delphi Poets Series offers readers the works of literature’s finest poets, with superior formatting. This volume presents Crabbe’s complete poetical works, with related illustrations and the usual Delphi bonus material.
