Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this series of essays, exvangelical A. J. Sieling takes us on a deeply personal journey out of the darkness of a religion that could never see her. Drawing from the Parable of the Prodigal Son, she shares her story—not as the celebrated youngest son, nor as the begrudging elder brother, but as the sister: invisible, overlooked, and ultimately liberated. Weaving through the pain of being unseen and taken for granted in a community that preached unconditional love, these essays explore resentment, trauma, and the path to healing. With candid reflections, marked by raw honesty and bold choices, Sieling maps out the emotional landscape of leaving behind a world where she was always present but never acknowledged. This book isn't about proving points or winning arguments. It's about tracing feelings back to their roots and finding freedom in the realization that sometimes, invisibility can be a gift—the very thing that allows you to walk away, to heal, and to find happiness, with or without religion.

Download or read book THE RETURN OF THE PRODIGAL written by Dr. Ope Banwo and published by Dr Ope Banwo. This book was released on 2023-06-04 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The personal testimony of a 21st Century Prodigal. His days in the ‘far country’, his Redemption, Restoration and the Problems he encountered from the ‘older brothers’ in the house. One fateful Wednesday morning, the story hit me with such a powerful force that I was speechless for some moments! I had read the story of the prodigal son in the Bible many times before but the story never ministered to me the way it did on this Wednesday morning. All of a sudden, it was as if a switch had been turned on in my head and the story took a whole new line of meaning in my life. The Holy Spirit began to show me that this is the story of my life. The grace extended to the prodigal son in the story is the same type of grace I have received from God and this is the message that the Holy Spirit wants me to testify to: that is, the unlimited grace of our Lord Jesus Christ to the lost, the wayward, the incorrigible and the damned. The Lord stands ready to show His divine favor and grace on all who would dare to return from the wilderness. He dares us to return to Him and see whether He really is just and faithful to forgive us all our iniquities as He promised through His prophets

Download or read book The Prodigal Daughter written by Margaret Gibson and published by University of Missouri Press. This book was released on 2013-06-19 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1950s and 1960s were years of shifting values and social changes that did not sit well with many citizens of Richmond, Virginia, and in particular with one conservative family, a staunchly southern mother and father and their two daughters. A powerful evocation of time and place, this memoir—a gifted poet's first book of prose—is the story of an inquisitive and sensitive young woman's coming of age and a deeply moving recounting of her reconciliation later in life with the family she left behind. Returning us to a Cold War world marked by divisions of race, gender, wealth, and class, The Prodigal Daughter is an exploration of difference, the powerful wedge that separates individuals within a social milieu and within a family. Echoing the biblical Prodigal Son, Margaret Gibson's memoir is less concerned with the years of excess away from home than with the seeds of division sown in this family's early years. Hers is the story of a mother proud to be a Lady, a Southerner, and a Christian; of two daughters trapped by their mother's power; and of their father's breakdown under social and family expectations. Slow to rebel, young Margaret finally flees the world of manners and custom—which she deems poor substitutes for right thought and right action in the face of the Civil Rights movement and the Vietnam War—and abandons her fundamentalist upbringing. In a defiant gesture that proves prophetic, she once signed a postcard home "The Prodigal." After years of being the distant, absent daughter, she finds herself returning home to meet the needs of her stroke-crippled younger sister and her incapacitated parents. In this tale of homecoming and forgiveness, death and dying, Gibson recounts how she overcame her long indifference to a sister she had thought different from herself, recognizing the strengths of the bonds that both hold us and set us free. Interweaving astute social observations on social pressures, race relations, sibling rivalry, adolescent angst, and more, The Prodigal Daughter is a startlingly honest portrayal of one family in one southern city and the story of all too many families across America.

Download or read book Mouths on Fire with Songs written by Caroline De Wagter and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2013 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, the first cross-cultural study of post-1970s anglophone Canadian and American multi-ethnic drama, invites assessment of the thematic and aesthetic contributions of this theater in today’s globalized culture. A growing number of playwrights of African, South and East Asian, and First Nations heritage have engaged with manifold socio-political and aesthetic issues in experimental works combining formal features of more classical European dramatic traditions with such elements of ethnic culture as ancestral music and dance, to interrogate the very concepts of theatricality and canonicity. Their “mouths on fire” (August Wilson), these playwrights contest stereotyped notions of authenticity. In¬spired by songs of anger, passion, experience, survival, and regeneration, the plays analyzed bespeak a burning desire to break the silence, to heal and empower. Foregrounding questions of hybridity, diaspora, cultural memory, and nation, this comparative study includes discussion of some twenty-five case studies of plays by such authors as M.J. Kang, August Wilson, Suzan–Lori Parks, Djanet Sears, Chay Yew, Padma Viswanathan, Rana Bose, Diane Glancy, and Drew Hayden Taylor. Through its cross-cultural and cross-national prism, “Mouths on Fire with Songs” shows that multi-ethnic drama is one of the most diverse and dynamic sites of cultural production in North America today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Autobiographical book about my life as the out of wedlock son of Jessie Jimerson-Phillips, and J.O. Patterson Sr. My Mother, a Gospel Singer and song writer, Author of several books, and a relatively nieve young women when she fell under the influence of my dad, a man 13 years her senior. My dad J.O. Patterson Sr. was one of the most influential black men in America for 21 years in a row according to Ebony Magazine. Presiding Bishop of The Church of God In Christ, a position that should have cause him to have a greater sense of moral and ethical values, it seemed to have had a very small impact of his actions. My Brother J.O. Patterson Jr., was a former 2 term Senator, 1 term Congressman, and first black Mayor of the City of Memphis. A great man by world standards, but just as much a victim of our dad's reckless private life as my sister and I were. This book is a tale of religion, sex, lies, coverup's, murder, and extream coruption under the banner of The Church. And how the cover up's continues with some of the Church's Leadership even today. How sad it is when the people we turn to for compassion, spiritual guidance, and understanding. Use that position to abuse the innocent and greed to make millions. When my dad passed he left a reported 3 million dollars in cash stuffed into a freezer and a reported 48 million dollars of missing church money. The key word is reported, because only the person who found the cash and God know how much was actually there. I hope you will enjoy the enlightening journey into my life and what few people will ever know about these mega religious organizations and the courption and greed that drives them.
