Book excerpt: You don’t have to discover penicillin, feed the poor in the streets of Calcutta, or be the first person to swim to Antarctica to make a remarkable difference in the world. The stories in Spot of Grace tell about moments when one person did something very simple — asked a question in wonder, smiled from the heart, risked a reach across the chasm of isolation so many of us experience. Extraordinary things start with these ordinary gestures. And as they grow and flourish, they can make a profound difference in someone else’s life.

Download or read book No Place of Grace written by T. J. Jackson Lears and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2021-08-26 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "T. J. Jackson Lears's No Place of Grace is a landmark book in the fields of American Studies and history, known for its rigorous research and original, near-literary style. A study of responses to the culture of corporate capitalism at the turn of the twentieth century, No Place of Grace charts the development of modern consumer society through the embrace of antimodernism, the effort among many middle and upper class Americans to recapture feelings of authenticity, vigor, depth, and connection. Rather than offer true resistance to the increasing corporate bureaucratization of the time, however, antimodernism helped accommodate Americans to the new order-it was therapeutic rather than oppositional, a forerunner to today's self-help culture. And yet antimodernism contributed a new dynamic as well, "an eloquent edge of protest," as Lears puts it, which is evident even today in anticonsumerism, sustainable living, and other practices. This edition, with a lively and discerning foreword by Jennifer Ratner-Rosenhagen, celebrates the book's 40th anniversary"--

Book excerpt: In this remarkable tale of hope and survival, Hannah Luce tells how, as the sole survivor of a terrible plane crash, she came to grips with her faith: “a calamitous, fascinating memoir, written with surprising spiritual sophistication” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). On May 11, 2012, a small plane carrying five young adults, en route to a Christian youth rally, crashed in a Kansas field, skidding 200 yards before hitting a tree and bursting into flames. Only two survived the crash: ex-marine Austin Anderson, who would die the next morning from extensive burns, and his friend Hannah Luce, the daughter of Teen Mania founder and influential youth minister Ron Luce. This is Hannah’s story. In Fields of Grace, Hannah details the investigation of her faith, her coming-of-age as the dutiful daughter of Evangelical royalty, her decision to join her father’s ministry outreach to teens, and her miraculous survival and recovery following the accident. It also serves as a tribute and testament to the lives of the dear friends who perished in the catastrophic plane crash and reveals how their memory continues to inspire all that she does. Here is the “riveting personal account” (Booklist) of a girl who grew up as the daughter of one of the most influential evangelical leaders of our time, who questioned her early religious convictions somewhere along the way and who, from the embers of that doomed plane ride, finally found her faith.

Download or read book Finding Grace written by Maren Cooper and published by She Writes Press. This book was released on 2022-07-19 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Booker is thrilled to start married life in Two Harbors, Minnesota, with his ambitious ornithologist bride, Caroline—but he sabotages his own happiness when, blinded by his desire for a family, he tricks Caroline into a pregnancy she doesn’t want. Caroline, bold and unapologetic, follows her own nature and holds Charles to his promise to parent their daughter without her help—an arrangement that allows her to travel the world and follow her birds, wherever they may take her. This uneasy truce results in near tragedy for their daughter, Grace, who comes of age in a household full of toxic resentment on the one side and suffocating love on the other, and increasingly struggles with her mental health as she grows older. Told by all three of the characters involved and set against the backdrop of Lake Superior, Finding Grace is a piercing chronicle of the struggles and eventual insight gained by each over the years, starting with Charles and Caroline’s courtship and continuing into Grace’s early adulthood—and a poignant coming-of-age journey for both Grace and her parents.

Download or read book Grace written by Jyoti Mestry and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2021-04-07 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I have written the book with the sole aim to make an honest attempt to share my subjective experiences and objective observations that have transformed my life from the day my path crossed with that of Grace’s. The presence of pure unconditional love and undeniably full proof loyalty changed the layers of my life’s fabric. I wish the would-be pet-parents will take a clue from the content and avoid making any mistakes that I made knowingly and unknowingly. I am also rooting for the cause of strict ban/control over breeding, sale of pets. I want to promote adoption of the pets instead of purchase. I hope the readers identify with and enjoy our moments and also get the message while turning the pages. I have tried to be unflinchingly honest about my feelings for Grace. In doing so, I am sorry if some feathers are ruffled but the intention is not at all to do so. Without any doubt or hesitation, the worst part of the process of writing this journey is that it has made me feel emotionally exposed. I wish the would-be parents realize, absorb the fact that we are chosen and blessed and must be grateful to the Universe for having our life immersed in rainbow colors. There is undoubtedly always a purpose when a pet walks in your life. From being not a pet lover to helicopter pet mom has been nevertheless a revolutionary change in my life. This bond surpasses all the pleasures derived from all the materialistic things or relations. That is my personal ultimate realization. She has taken me on unchartered journey through the stratosphere. It is a walk into the unknown and I am hoping this walk will be a long one. After all it is the “journey”, that is more important than the destination itself! I can guarantee you that it is no less than a spiritual awakening without even realizing. So my friends hold my hand and join my rollercoaster ride with Grace. The journey continues……with a promise to join you all with the next lifelogue!

Download or read book Contrasts in Religion Community and Structure at Three Homeless Shelters written by Ines W. Jindra and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-11-17 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do people in poverty and homelessness change their lives and get back on their feet? Homeless shelters across the world play a huge role in this process. Many of them are religious, but there is a lot of diversity in faith-based non-profits that assist people affected by poverty and homelessness. In this timely book, the authors look at three homeless shelters that take more or less intensive approaches to faith, community, and programming. In one shelter, for instance, residents are required to do a program of classes that includes group Bible study, worship, and self-evaluation. The other two examined are significantly less faith-based, but in different ways and with different structures. The authors show how the three shelters tackle homelessness differently, drawing on narrative biographical interviews and case studies with residents, interviews with staff, and case study research of the three shelters. Entering into significant debates in social theory over religion, agency, cognitive action, and culture, this book is important reading for scholars and students in religious studies, sociology and social work.

Book excerpt: "Grace Blauch is skilled at midwifery--and crafting quilts that help others pass on messages of enduring family love. But a disfiguring birthmark keeps the young Amish woman from a husband and home of her own--until Mark King arrives from another community. His helpfulness and independent nature earn Grace's respect. And he finds her outspoken ways and determination to do right irresistibly appealing. Soon Grace is planning a wedding quilt of her very own ... until her father discovers that Mark's shunned brother is hiding somewhere in town ... Grace can well understand why Mark took such a risk once she hears his wrenching reasons. But she fears even prayer will not convince her father to restore his blessing on their union. She wills herself to face the end of her dreams, but sudden danger and an impossible act of generosity will show her that abiding hope can inspire the most precious of miracles."--
