Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetic Stepping-Stones Of Faith is a book of poetry written and created over three decades. It includes a variety of poems such as " The Beauty Of God", "Woman", "The Hands Of A Man" and "Stop This World" to name a few. The poems speak to the human experience and how that experience intersects and connects to Jesus Christ. From the beginning of time, words have been found to be a powerful element; that started with God speaking this universe into existence. Disagreements and more have occurred because of ill spoken words between people. However, the words of Poetic Stepping-Stones Of Faith are meant for the reader's enjoyment. It is the writer's belief that the poems will aid in connecting people with a thread of humanity that is common to all human beings. We all may have had experiences that bring joy, sadness, loss, etc. The poetry in the book is to help us get a greater glimpse of Jesus Chris and what He offers us as we live this life on earth. These poems reflect the day to day struggling, living, and overcoming to obtain the victory. Christ is ever near, standing by ready to give us that extra courage and energy to take that next leap to the stepping stone. Stepping Stones Of Faith is a book that reflects to us the encouragement of Christ when we feel overwhelmed whether we're a believer or unbeliever. I believe this book will lift the human spirit and impart the love of Jesus Christ through the poems. This book includes poems that relate to our past, expressions of our present, and hints related to our future. May all who read this book gain insights into the precious love that God has for all human beings; and. May people come to know a little more about the goodness of Christ through the reading of Poetic Stepping-Stones Of Faith!

Download or read book Interpreting Literary Texts written by Michael Giffin and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2024-09-12 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book considers how textual interpretation has been influenced by post-Kantian philosophy and aesthetics, particularly the cultural transition from the correspondence theory of knowledge and truth to Nietzschean perspectivism, and the canonical transition from Classicism, to Romanticism, to Modernism, to Postmodernism. It discusses the principles of interpretation, the concept of reason (logos), and how the West’s model of mind evolved. The novels of Jane Austen introduce the concept of Classicism, including her debt to Aristotle’s thinking about Tragedy and Comedy in Poetics. The two trajectories of Romanticism are discussed, the philosophical trajectory through Berlin’s idea of Counter-Enlightenment—the immanent critique of metaphysics—and the aesthetic trajectory through Blake’s vision of what is possible if the doors of perception can be cleansed. The novels of Australia’s Patrick White introduce the concept of Modernism and his attempt to “imagine the real”. The novels of Margaret Atwood introduce the concept of Postmodernism, tracing her literary evolution from an author focused on female identity to one concerned with the future of humanity. The novels of Graham Greene and Muriel Spark are discussed as two different Catholic responses to Modernism. The novels of Marilynne Robinson and Douglas Wilson are discussed as two different Protestant responses to Calvinism.

Download or read book Poetry Practical Theology and Reflective Practice written by Mark Pryce and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-03-13 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking study offers an innovative critical analysis of poetry as a resource for reflective practice in the context of continuing professional development. In the contemporary drive in all professions for greater rigour in education, training, and development, little attention is paid to the inner shape of learning and meaning-making for individuals and groups, especially ways in which individuals are formed for the task of their work. Building on empirical research into the author’s professional practice, the book takes the use of poetry in clergy continuing ministerial development as a case-study to examine the value of poetry in professional learning. Setting out the advantages and limitations of poetry as a stimulant for imaginative, critical reflexivity, and formation within professional reflective practice, the study develops a practical model for group reflection around poetry, distilling pedagogical approaches for working effectively with poetry in continuing professional development. Drawing together a number of strands of thinking about poetry, Practical Theology, and reflective practice into a tightly argued study, the book is an important methodological resource. It makes available a range of primary and secondary sources, offering researchers into professional practice a model of ethnographic research in Practical Theology which embraces innovative methods for reflexivity and theological reflection, including the value of auto-ethnographic poetry.

Book excerpt: Poems, prn (Latin: pro re nata) is a compilation of recent poems by Larry Troxel. He separated them into two groupings; the first consisting of poems that are more about the lighter and serious sides of life, and the sweet feelings and inspiration that evolve there from. From those selections his associate James Atkinson, an accomplished musician and composer, has created and recorded beautiful songs on a CD Music and Poetry From the Heart, with poems such as My Soul, The Flowers Say, Touchings, and Waves. The second group is poems that paint, in the brightest colors, his religiosity, principals of faith, devotion and church. It is his hope that some may find what he has written to be interesting, agreeable, and maybe even inspiring, prn.
