Download or read book Exploring Colossians Living the New Reality written by Roy R. Jeal and published by SBL Press. This book was released on 2024-11-22 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this comprehensive, sociorhetorical interpretation of Colossians, Roy R. Jeal explores the letter’s portrayal of the grand vision that extends from the realm of God before the creation of the cosmos to the new reality and new culture of the life of fullness in Christ. The commentary analyzes the pictures the text evokes in the human visual imagination, identifies the persuasive modes of discourse in the letter, and evaluates the range of textures that interweave to produce the dynamic rhetorical argument of Colossians. Demands to conform to “empty deceitful philosophy, human tradition, and the elements of the world” rather than to Christ are irrelevant for believers who have been transferred from darkness to the light of the Son of God’s kingdom. The rhetoric of the letter moves believers to ideologies of living in the body of Christ where orderly behavior guided by love contrasts with the chaotic, self-indulgent, divisive uncertainties of Mediterranean existence.

Book excerpt: Welcome to the better half of your life. The New York Times bestselling author of The Female Brain explains how a woman’s brain gets “upgraded” in midlife, inspiring and guiding women to unlock their full potential. “This is an important book. I want all women to read it. I wish I had read it years ago!”—Jane Fonda Dr. Louann Brizendine was among the first to explain why women think, communicate, and feel differently than men. Now, inspired by her own experiences and those of the thousands of women at her clinic, she has a message that is nothing short of revolutionary: in the time of life typically known as menopause, women’s brains are reshaped, for the better, in a way that creates new power, a bracing clarity, and a laser-like sense of purpose if you know how to seize it. With guidance for navigating the perimenopausal and menopausal storm while it lasts, and actionable, science-backed steps for preserving brain health for the rest of your life, The Upgrade is a stunning roadmap, told through intimate stories, to a new brain state and its incredible possibilities. Dr. Brizendine explains the best science-backed strategies for: • Hormones: If timed and handled properly, hormone management can save your life. Brizendine cuts through the controversy to give you the latest guidance for HRT. • Exercise: Leg strength correlates directly with healthy brain function at age 80. Here are the strategies for maintaining your strength. • Sleep: It’s critical for maximizing the Upgrade, and Brizendine shares how to achieve healthy rest during challenging transitions. • Mindset: Brizendine shows how to seize the opportunities of your midlife brain changes by shifting your mindset and vision with intention. • Brain Health: The Upgraded brain requires special care when it comes to sugar, alcohol, inflammatory foods, and the microbiome. Here’s advice for fueling and maintaining cognitive function for decades. The Upgrade amounts to a celebration of how women step into their power and an entirely new—and radically positive—understanding of aging.
Download or read book A Simplicity Revolution Finding Happiness in the New Reality written by Sue Schell and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2011-08-31 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Optimism had been a mainstay since the post-World War II days. Few of us expected the economic slowdown would be more than a pause. A SIMPLICITY REVOLUTION: FINDING HAPPINESS IN THE NEW REALITY is a commentary on Americas Boom and Bust decade and the Corporatocracy, that caused it. The book is divided into chapters full of practical advice to assist readers on their personal lifestyle journeys. We now can see that Americas desire to supersize everything was unsustainable. What economists refer to as Americas New Normal, Author Sue Schell calls our New Reality. She writes, After millions of people lost their jobs and some ultimately their homes, we had heightened anxiety over the possibility that Americas best days may be behind us? Would our American Dream survive for future generations? What was to become of the vanishing middle class? Anthropology Professor Dr. Robert Launay, of Northwestern University, penned the forward to the book. He writes, The challenges we are facing are new, and so the solutions and values we forge to meet them must also be new. Here, Sue Schell has hit the nail on the head. A Simple life is not about frugality. It is about living an authentic life that lets you live the life that you dream of living. A life that is rooted not in the stuff you own, but in your relationships with family and friends. This may very well prove to be the silver lining we find in this Great Recession. By M.W. Carlson (U.S.) -Feeling lost and disillusioned after the financial crash and never-ending recession? Maybe you lost your job, or are working at a job you hate? You're not alone. This book helped me sort things out and clarify what's most important for long-term happiness. According to this author, there are four "guideposts" to a simpler life: (1) protect our environment; (2) always be financially responsible; (3) use thoughtful consumption; and (4) community involvement. This all makes perfect sense, you say, yet it does need reinforcement, which author Schell does effectively with her own life stories. You get the feeling she is a person with compassion for others, something we need more of these days. No matter what stage of life you're in, you will benefit from reading this book. It may give you some new ideas about how to approach life, how to get more satisfaction from your life, or it may reinforce what you're already doing. Either way, GET THIS BOOK AND READ IT - you'll feel more hopeful, thoughtful and even peaceful after reading it. It's funny too! You'll enjoy the related quotes from famous historical figures (Thoreau, da Vinci, Confucius, to name a few). After all, simplicity isn't new, but we need to be reminded during these difficult times. By the way, my 80-something-year-old mom read this and liked it too.

Download or read book Our New Human Consciousness written by Terry Sands and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-05-12 with total page 537 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every few thousand years, our human culture experiences a massive evolutionary transformation. In the next few years, our consciousness will change very rapidly and move us beyond anything we can presently imagine. This change of consciousness is happening naturally to each of us now, and it will affect every aspect of how we think, how we live, and how we love. We are a culture in search of its spirit, and this change of consciousness is evolutionarily next for humankind on this planet. When the awareness opens, one may search many avenues and attractions for truth and enlightenment and find the search lacking in result. The next step may be the path of Self-discovery. But the direction on this path will not be given to us by a great teacher who comes down from the mountaintop with answers cast in stone, but rather by lots of little great teachers who could be called pathfinders. And to move into this new consciousness, we will transform the mind and the way it works with new mental skills and mental technology. Our success is inevitable. The ease or difficulty with which we achieve this success is still in formation. We will survive the transition physically. The question is whether we will survive psychologically. Psychological survival in this transition depends on only one thing: Developing the ability and inner discipline to completely, instantaneously, unquestioningly and continuously adapt to change.

Download or read book The Next Step in the Dance written by Tim Gautreaux and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 1999-01-15 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A mighty first novel, told with cinematic grip . . . Gautreaux himself takes the next step in the moody, sweet dance of southern literature.” —GQ Bringing the same light and gentle understanding that he did to the story collection Same Place, Same Things, author Tim Gautreaux tells the tale of Paul and Colette, star-crossed and factious lovers struggling to make it in rural south Louisiana. When Colette, fed up with small town life, perceives yet another indiscretion by the fun-loving Paul, she heads for Los Angeles, with big dreams and Paul in tow. Paul’s attempts to draw his beautiful young wife back home to the Cajun bayou, and back to his heart, make up a tale filled with warmth, devotion and majestically constructed scenes of Southern life, in The Next Step in the Dance. “A smartly turned-out first novel, about the push and pull between a young Louisiana couple, that holds you snug and won’t let go . . . [an] A.” —Entertainment Weekly “[What] wins us over is Gautreaux’s powerful, often poetic mix of colorful detail and rapid-paced suspense, not to mention his keen ear for Cajun dialect.” —The New York Times Book Review “This is both an elegy for a disappearing way of life and a celebration of enduring values.” —The New Orleans Times-Picayune “An entertaining and immensely likable debut novel, set mostly in Louisiana’s southwestern Gulf Stream area . . . As a storyteller, and especially as one with such a good eye for character, Gautreaux looks like one of the best writers to have emerged in the 1990s.” —Kirkus Reviews
Download or read book Situated Narratives and Sacred Dance written by Jill Flanders Crosby and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2023-02-14 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using storytelling and performance to explore shared religious expression across continents Through a revolutionary ethnographic approach that foregrounds storytelling and performance as alternative means of knowledge, Situated Narratives and Sacred Dance explores shared ritual traditions between the Anlo-Ewe people of West Africa and their descendants, the Arará of Cuba, who were brought to the island in the transatlantic slave trade. The volume draws on two decades of research in four communities: Dzodze, Ghana; Adjodogou, Togo; and Perico and Agramonte, Cuba. In the ceremonies, oral narratives, and daily lives of individuals at each fieldsite, the authors not only identify shared attributes in religious expression across continents, but also reveal lasting emotional, spiritual, and personal impacts in the communities whose ancestors were ripped from their homeland and enslaved. The authors layer historiographic data, interviews, and fieldnotes with artistic modes such as true fiction, memoir, and choreographed narrative, challenging the conventional nature of scholarship with insights gained from sensorial experience. Including reflections on the making of an art installation based on this research project, the volume challenges readers to imagine the potential of approaching fieldwork as artists. The authors argue that creative methods can convey truths deeper than facts, pointing to new possibilities for collaboration between scientists and artists with relevance to any discipline. Publication of the paperback edition made possible by a Sustaining the Humanities through the American Rescue Plan grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Download or read book Stepping Into the Sunlight written by Olubusola Eshiet and published by Optimalpath Publishing. This book was released on 2021-04-09 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grief is the result of the loss of someone you love or something that is important to you. However, grief does not have to define the rest of your life, you can become stronger and better in the end. The mind needs to heal from grief the same way that the body needs to heal from a physical wound. Grief doesn’t leave you the way it met you, but you don’t have to be stuck in grief. You can move forward with your grief. When grief strikes, you may think that life can never be good again, but it can. Grief doesn’t have to break you. You can become a stronger person through your grief. How can this happen? By doing the ‘grief work’ well. Friends are waiting to help the grieving person, but they don’t know how. Stepping into the Sunlight encourages the one who has suffered a loss to stare the loss in the face, intentionally take charge of their grief, and be strategic about recovery. It also offers advice to the friend who is keen to support the bereaved on how to help their friends take the vital steps back to life. Reviews Some people find it a task to read an entire book. I am one of those. But I could easily finish reading Stepping into the Sunlight. Busola is a natural storyteller who infuses stories at the appropriate places, from the beginning to the end, making the book easy to read. From stories of people who lost personal belongings, health, or a dream, to bereavement from loss of spouse, mother, father, sibling and child, Busola’s stories are of real people in today’s real life. You won’t want to put this book down! It is a book that should be on everyone’s shelf. -Ihuoma Akinremi I enjoy my relationships with people until they become bereaved. Then I feel a sense of inadequacy to provide the support I think I should offer, as a good friend. So, if I can, I avoid being with them when they grieve. This doesn’t mean I love them any less, only that I’m worried my attempts to comfort them may make them more miserable. ‘Stepping into the Sunlight’ reassures me that I am not alone in my feelings of inadequacy, whilst at the same time empowers me with the tips that I need to become that shoulder that my friends can lean on in their season of bereavement. It has been a blessing gleaning from the experience and wisdom Busola shares. -Semedeton Ilo ‘Stepping into the Sunlight’ shows that grief doesn’t have to destroy us. We can grieve in a way that helps us to grow and brings us healing in the end. We can, in turn, reach out to support others when they are in similar situations. I agree with Busola that God can bring accelerated healing from grief as he does from physical wounds. -Yop Chundusu What do you tell a friend who is grieving the loss of a loved one? That God loves them? That God will see them through? That they will see the light at the end of the tunnel? What more should I say and how can I help my friends? This book answers the questions you would ask if you find yourself in this situation. -Tity Nwankpa Busola writes about the various stages of grief and gives helpful suggestions on how you can navigate those stages if you're grieving or how you can help a grieving friend. There's a time in everyone's life where loss touches you and at other times, you have to put out that hand to help somebody else. It's a good book to have and one that I'll go back to again and again. -Helen Sawyerr This book gives answers to common questions asked during grieving. It uses research, shared experiences and the word of God to help the bereaved process their feelings; and to help their loved ones be there for them in the best way possible. I have no doubt this all-encompassing guide will be a blessing to many. -Ubong Udoh Olubusola Eshiet takes the bereaved and their friend on a journey of acceptance of loss and of healing. She provides real steps from the darkness of grief into the sunlight! I admire the author's willingness to be candid, vulnerable, and unflinchingly honest. -Oluwadunsin Abike Oyewo
