Download or read book Puget Sound Parables written by Kenneth W. Smith and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2009-09-16 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The early Christian church faced a plethora of religious fronts: a religious clergy that determined the way that Hebrew worship should go, with 10 commandments and 613 legal emendations; A state religion of the conqueror, Rome that elevated the emperor to almost divine status; pagan religions that hosted hundreds of deities; a secularism that permeated all of society and a disorganized group of seekers who kept searching for God’s will. To this world Jesus came to heal, teach and preach with parables. Forsaking argumentation and dependence upon present erudite culture Jesus told the same story that brought its salient point to the listeners, as simple parables marked Jesus theology. In the year 2009 we face a similar audience, along with the addition of the lure of the Internet. These parables speak to every group, but are not Scripture. Scripture leads every parable for it is the will of God that we seek, whether individually, as families, a nation or a world, that God speaks to us in stories The author invites you to continue in parables, finding your own.

Download or read book Haboo written by and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2020-04-27 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stories and legends of the Lushootseed-speaking people of Puget Sound represent an important part of the oral tradition by which one generation hands down beliefs, values, and customs to another. Vi Hilbert grew up when many of the old social patterns survived and everyone spoke the ancestral language. Haboo, Hilbert’s collection of thirty-three stories, features tales mostly set in the Myth Age, before the world transformed. Animals, plants, trees, and even rocks had human attributes. Prominent characters like Wolf, Salmon, and Changer and tricksters like Mink, Raven, and Coyote populate humorous, earthy stories that reflect foibles of human nature, convey serious moral instruction, and comically detail the unfortunate, even disastrous consequences of breaking taboos. Beautifully redesigned and with a new foreword by Jill La Pointe, Haboo offers a vivid and invaluable resource for linguists, anthropologists, folklorists, future generations of Lushootseed-speaking people, and others interested in Native languages and cultures.

Download or read book Myth and Geology written by Luigi Piccardi and published by Geological Society of London. This book was released on 2007 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book is the first peer-reviewed collection of papers focusing on the potential of myth storylines to yield data and lessons that are of value to the geological sciences. Building on the nascent discipline of geomythology, scientists and scholars from a variety of disciplines have contributed to this volume. The geological hazards (such as earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions and cosmic impacts) that have given rise to myths are considered, as are the sacred and cultural values associated with rocks, fossils, geological formations and landscapes. There are also discussions about the historical and literary perspectives of geomythology. Regional coverage includes Europe and the Mediterranean, Afghanistan, Cameroon, India, Australia, Japan, Pacific islands, South America and North America. Myth and Geology challenges the widespread notion that myths are fictitious or otherwise lacking in value for the physical sciences." -- BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Salvaged written by J. Michael Moyer and published by . This book was released on 2021-02-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Salvaged" is a real-life story, as reported through memoirs, showing how a neglected young boy, born in 1936, was able to develop a wholesome and productive life, because of his faith and trust in God's love for him, expressed through a continually grateful response. The theme in this book is that God is always working in our lives to create, restore, preserve and protect the personal value that He creates in us, and, if we show a desire for His presence, His enrichment of our lives. The plot of this real drama is God's faithful rescue, restoration and protection of the central character, Little David, as a child, youth, and David, as an adult, in the many challenges that threaten David's personal value and life. God's intervention comes through the Christian love of certain people in David's life, and as a direct response to David's prayers.The title of this book, Salvaged," draws a parallel between the type of work that God does in David's life, and the type of work that David found necessary and available for his own survival through marine salvage. Marine salvage work requires seeing the value of things that have been neglected and lost, and then, caring enough to raise them from the dark and muddy grave of the sea, to be restored to new life and usefulness in some form, somehow preserving their original value. This is the work of the "Salvor." In terms of God's relationship with us, this is also the work of the "Savior."Besides communicating a religious and inspirational theme, this book is also intended to entertain and instruct through the many stories shared by David himself. David's enterprises, adventures, and sometimes mischievous escapades, flow from his creative independence, imagination, resourcefulness, and sense of humor. Little David is easily characterized as "Puget Sound's Tom Sawyer." The story of David's life events should be entertaining reading for anyone, especially youth and young adults, who might have had similar experiences. Notable throughout David's life is not only his playfulness, but his ability to win as the "underdog."
