Download or read book The Soul of a Lion written by Alice Von Hildebrand and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dietrich von Hildebrand, widely regarded as one of the great Catholic philosophers of the 20th century, is well-known for his numerous books, but, until this present work, not much has been known of his remarkable and inspiring life. Written by his wife, Alice, also a highly respected Catholic thinker, this is a fascinating, moving and, at times, gripping account of a truly great man of the Church who suffered much for the faith. Based on a very long "letter" Dietrich wrote to his wife late in his life, it tells his story from his glorious youth with a unique intellectual and cultural formation, his coversion to Catholisism, his great passion for truth and beauty, his extensive writing on Christian philosophy and theology, and his steadfast, determined opposition to Nazism that made him a marked man who miraculously escaped execution. A powerful biography of a relentless fighter against injustice, a devoted son of the Church, a man who had the "soul of a lion". Illustrated.

Book excerpt: Through my book, I want my people to know about the importance of their beautiful and adventurous lives which they end up due to some kind of problems in their life or they destroy it. These problems can be relationship issues, getting threats from someone, due to some kind of addiction or psychological disorders. There are two kinds of people -- Strong and weak. The strong pass the adventure but the weak gets lost in the adventure of life and we all know the result that is SUICIDE! I have heard a lot that usually when people don't find any way, they commit suicide not knowing that it's not the solution. The only solution to their problems is Struggle! After all we know that struggles makes a man better. Some people are in a hurry and they always say that we have limited time on this earth, what we can do in it? But they don't even think of that if their time is limited, they should enjoy in that time only. They should make each and every single moment of their life to be counted on this earth. Most say ' I can only be happy if I have XYZ in my life' not knowing that they are complete in themselves. They don't need anybody to complete them. I don't want my people to be coward, i want them to be brave just like a lion! The lion is courageous, he is very bold. He believes any opportunity is worth giving a try and never lets it slip from his hands. The lion is like a miracle in this world, as he is ready to face every gordian knot.So, the main purpose of my book is to let my people know that this all is a part of their amazing journey, and they should face every circumstance with courage and strength. And to let them know that life will not follow our way, we have to follow it's path and most importantly, we have to accept the way it goes. We should remember that all we need is a strong mindset.
Download or read book Aristotle s On the Soul written by Aristotle and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this timeless and profound inquiry, Aristotle presents a view of the psyche that avoids the simplifications both of the materialists and those who believe in the soul as something quite distinct from body. On the Soul also includes Aristotle's idiosyncratic and influential account of light and colors. On Memory and Recollection continues the investigation of some of the topics introduced in On the Soul. Sachs's fresh and jargon-free approach to the translation of Aristotle, his lively and insightful introduction, and his notes and glossaries, all bring out the continuing relevance of Aristotle's thought to biological and philosophical questions.
Download or read book Hath The Lion Prevailed written by John M. Moodie and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2001-04-05 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hath . . . The Lion Prevailed? uses the Bible as the main influence. The book shows the world that Haile Selassie I is Jesus Christ returned in his kingly and conquering form. It shows that Jesus conquered death, and for those who follow him will never die. It shows the cross as a symbol of death as it was before Jesus’ time, during His time, and as it still is today: a symbol of death, a graven image of silver, gold, wood, and stone. Hath . . . The Lion Prevailed? is a book that will reveal to anyone why the Rastafarians see Haile Selassie I as the Creator of the Universe.
Download or read book American Rhone written by Patrick J. Comiskey and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2016-10-11 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Thoughtfully conceived and very well written, this is essential somm reading."—The Somm Journal "This is the most important wine book of the year, perhaps in many years."—The Seattle Times "Crisply written, impeccably researched, balanced if fundamentally enthusiastic, scholarly but accessible, and full of unexpected details and characters."—The World of Fine Wine No wine category has seen more dramatic growth in recent years than American Rhône–variety wines. Winemakers are devoting more energy, more acreage, and more bottlings to Rhône varieties than ever before. The flagship Rhône red, Syrah, is routinely touted as one of California’s most promising varieties, capable of tremendous adaptability as a vine, wonderfully variable in style, and highly expressive of place. There has never been a better time for American Rhône wine producers. American Rhône is the untold history of the American Rhône wine movement. The popularity of these wines has been hard fought; this is a story of fringe players, unknown varieties, and longshot efforts finding their way to the mainstream. It’s the story of winemakers gathering sufficient strength in numbers to forge a triumph of the obscure and the brash. But, more than this, it is the story of the maturation of the American palate and a new republic of wine lovers whose restless tastes and curiosity led them to Rhône wines just as those wines were reaching a critical mass in the marketplace. Patrick J. Comiskey’s history of the American Rhône wine movement is both a compelling underdog success story and an essential reference for the wine professional.
Download or read book Heart of a Lion written by William Stolzenburg and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2016-04-12 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Late one June night in 2011, a large animal collided with an SUV cruising down a Connecticut parkway. The creature appeared as something out of New England's forgotten past. Beside the road lay a 140-pound mountain lion. Speculations ran wild, the wildest of which figured him a ghostly survivor from a bygone century when lions last roamed the eastern United States. But a more fantastic scenario of facts soon unfolded. The lion was three years old, with a DNA trail embarking from the Black Hills of South Dakota on a cross-country odyssey eventually passing within thirty miles of New York City. It was the farthest landbound trek ever recorded for a wild animal in America, by a barely weaned teenager venturing solo through hostile terrain. William Stolzenburg retraces his two-year journey--from his embattled birthplace in the Black Hills, across the Great Plains and the Mississippi River, through Midwest metropolises and remote northern forests, to his tragic finale upon Connecticut's Gold Coast. Along the way, the lion traverses lands with people gunning for his kind, as well as those championing his cause. Heart of a Lion is a story of one heroic creature pitting instinct against towering odds, coming home to a society deeply divided over his return. It is a testament to the resilience of nature, and a test of humanity's willingness to live again beside the ultimate symbol of wildness.
Download or read book The Lion s World written by Rowan Williams and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2012 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams offers fascinating insight into The Chronicles of Narnia, the popular series of novels by one of the most influential Christian authors of the modern era, C. S. Lewis. Lewis once referred to certain kinds of book as a "mouthwash for the imagination." This is what he attempted to provide in the Narnia stories, argues Williams: an unfamiliar world in which we could rinse out what is stale in our thinking about Christianity--"which is almost everything," says Williams--and rediscover what it might mean to meet the holy. Indeed, Lewis's great achievement in the Narnia books is just that-he enables readers to encounter the Christian story "as if for the first time." How does Lewis makes fresh and strange the familiar themes of Christian doctrine? Williams points out that, for one, Narnia itself is a strange place: a parallel universe, if you like. There is no "church" in Narnia, no religion even. The interaction between Aslan as a "divine" figure and the inhabitants of this world is something that is worked out in the routines of life itself. Moreover, we are made to see humanity in a fresh perspective, the pride or arrogance of the human spirit is chastened by the revelation that, in Narnia, you may be on precisely the same spiritual level as a badger or a mouse. It is through these imaginative dislocations that Lewis is able to communicate--to a world that thinks it knows what faith is--the character, the feel, of a real experience of surrender in the face of absolute incarnate love. This lucid, learned, humane, and beautifully written book opens a new window onto Lewis's beloved stories, revealing the moral wisdom and passionate faith beneath their perennial appeal.
Download or read book Four Hundred Souls written by Ibram X. Kendi and published by One World. This book was released on 2021-02-02 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A chorus of extraordinary voices tells the epic story of the four-hundred-year journey of African Americans from 1619 to the present—edited by Ibram X. Kendi, author of How to Be an Antiracist, and Keisha N. Blain, author of Set the World on Fire. FINALIST FOR THE ANDREW CARNEGIE MEDAL • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The Washington Post, Town & Country, Ms. magazine, BookPage, She Reads, BookRiot, Booklist • “A vital addition to [the] curriculum on race in America . . . a gateway to the solo works of all the voices in Kendi and Blain’s impressive choir.”—The Washington Post “From journalist Hannah P. Jones on Jamestown’s first slaves to historian Annette Gordon-Reed’s portrait of Sally Hemings to the seductive cadences of poets Jericho Brown and Patricia Smith, Four Hundred Souls weaves a tapestry of unspeakable suffering and unexpected transcendence.”—O: The Oprah Magazine The story begins in 1619—a year before the Mayflower—when the White Lion disgorges “some 20-and-odd Negroes” onto the shores of Virginia, inaugurating the African presence in what would become the United States. It takes us to the present, when African Americans, descendants of those on the White Lion and a thousand other routes to this country, continue a journey defined by inhuman oppression, visionary struggles, stunning achievements, and millions of ordinary lives passing through extraordinary history. Four Hundred Souls is a unique one-volume “community” history of African Americans. The editors, Ibram X. Kendi and Keisha N. Blain, have assembled ninety brilliant writers, each of whom takes on a five-year period of that four-hundred-year span. The writers explore their periods through a variety of techniques: historical essays, short stories, personal vignettes, and fiery polemics. They approach history from various perspectives: through the eyes of towering historical icons or the untold stories of ordinary people; through places, laws, and objects. While themes of resistance and struggle, of hope and reinvention, course through the book, this collection of diverse pieces from ninety different minds, reflecting ninety different perspectives, fundamentally deconstructs the idea that Africans in America are a monolith—instead it unlocks the startling range of experiences and ideas that have always existed within the community of Blackness. This is a history that illuminates our past and gives us new ways of thinking about our future, written by the most vital and essential voices of our present.

Download or read book Black Lion written by Sicelo Mbatha and published by Jonathan Ball Publishers. This book was released on 2021-10-15 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My name is Sicelo Cabangani Mbatha. My wilderness name is Black Lion. I am the black lion who helps people discover the wild animal within. I am the black lion who roars for peace and harmony on Great Mother Earth. I am the black lion, alive in the wilderness. Wilderness guide Sicelo Mbatha shares the wisdom he has gained from a lifetime's intimate association with Africa's wildest nature. The story begins with a traumatic childhood experience that should have turned Sicelo against the surrounding wilderness. Instead, he was irresistibly drawn to it. As a volunteer at Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park, close encounters with buffalo, lion, elephant and other animals taught him to see with his heart and set him on a lifelong journey of spiritual awakening. Drawing from his Zulu culture and his own yearning to better understand humanity's relationship with itself and with nature, Sicelo has forged a new path, disrupting the conventional approach to nature with an immersive, respectful and transformative way of being in the wilderness. Both memoir and philosophical reflection, Black Lion – co-written with author and environmentalist Bridget Pitt – is a reminder of how much we need the wilderness for our emotional and spiritual survival. 'A remarkable story ... poetic and beautifully written. It goes to the heart of the meaning of ecological literacy.' – DR IAN McCALLUM, SPECIALIST WILDERNESS GUIDE

Download or read book The Soul of a Lion written by Serena Ray and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " I am so happy to find you again, says the girl to the lion. I shouldn't have left you. I left because I was ignorant, I listened to my evil side, instead of my soul. I told everyone about you, but no one believed me, that you really existed, they all tried to tell me that you were not real, that you were devil, that you were just bad... Then, I started to remember your wise lessons more and more. The more they were saying bad about you, the more I wanted to come back to you, my Lion King. Now I found you back, and I will never leave you anymore. - I only exist for those who believe in me, my girl, says the lion.... Only for those who believe in me. I knew that you would come back one day. I was waiting for you. I wouldn't leave without seeing that someone carries on my kingdom, my wisdom, and my virtues. I am now ready to go, because I feel safe that you will carry on my way. I will always be with you, as I was even though you left me, cold-heartedly. I was sad, but I was still waiting that one day you would reappear, and here you are. Don't ever leave something that you know is right, just because you were hurt or full of emotion..." ............... Serena Ray, in her first book, describes the deepest feeling that gratitude could create in us, through a relationship between a lion and a girl lost in the middle of savanna. It is about what a girl could feel for a wise master that she met. She would never have thought that it would be the biggest event of her life. Serena Ray describes that there is no love without learning, there is no love without a master-disciple relationship, as there is no real love if we don't go deep enough to see who we really are. That is the only relationship, where we see that we are not as strong as we think we are, and finally see that we are not as weak as we think we are.
