  • Release : 2021-07-01
  • ISBN : 1098064828
  • Pages : 223 pages

Download or read book Connection written by Jenifer Gutowski and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-07-01 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I hear Christians everywhere complaining that they feel far away from God or that when they do get connected to him, then they just cannot stay connected to him. I too had spent over twenty years seeking and, at many times, struggling to have that unhindered connection with him so that I can know I am approved and enjoy the abundant life that is meant to be mine. This book is to impart the knowledge he has taught me, and it is meant to open blind eyes. In Isaiah 6:10, we are told that eyes and ears had been closed. Otherwise, God's people would see and hear and be healed. We are in perilous times, and it is God's will to open our eyes so that we can seek him, find him, stay connected to him, and be healed as he pours his Spirit upon all flesh. He says he doesn't want the world to sleep anymore, as mentioned in 1 Thessalonians 5:6, and we are also told that it is due to a lack of knowledge that people perish (Hosea 4:6). Being born again is the first step, but it does not end there. In this book, we see with open eyes the obstacles that come between us and God and gain insight into what his heart and will is and how he is closer than we know so that we can finally have lasting connection.

  • ISBN : 1461439671
  • Pages : 255 pages

Download or read book The Macaque Connection written by Sindhu Radhakrishna and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-08-27 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of this book arises from a symposium entitled “Human-Macaque Interactions: Traditional and Modern Perspectives on Cooperation and Conflict ” organized at the 23rd Congress of the International Primatological Society, that was held in Kyoto in September 2010. The symposium highlighted the many aspects of human-macaque relations and some of the participants were invited to contribute to this volume. The volume will include about 11 chapters by a variety of international authors and some excerpts from published literature that illustrate cultural notions of macaques. Contributions from invited authors will engage with four main perspectives – traditional views of macaques, cooperative relationships between humans and macaques, current scenarios of human-macaque conflict, and how living with and beside humans has affected macaques. Authors will address these concerns through their research findings and reviews of their work on the Asian, and the lone African, macaques. ​

Book The Connection Cure

Download or read book The Connection Cure written by Julia Hotz and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2024-06-11 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this combination of diligent science reporting, moving patient success stories, and surprising self-discovery, journalist Julia Hotz helps us discover lasting and life-changing medicine in our own communities. Traditionally, when we get sick, health care professionals ask, “What’s the matter with you?” But around the world, teams of doctors, nurses, therapists, and social workers have started to flip the script, asking “What matters to you?” Instead of solely pharmaceutical prescriptions, they offer ‘social prescriptions’—referrals to community activities and resources, like photography classes, gardening groups, and volunteering gigs. The results speak for themselves. Science shows that social prescribing is effective for treating symptoms of the modern world’s most common ailments—depression, ADHD, addiction, trauma, anxiety, chronic pain, dementia, diabetes, and loneliness. As health care’s de facto cycle of “diagnose-treat-repeat” reaches a breaking point, social prescribing has also proven to reduce patient wait times, lower hospitalization rates, save money, and reverse health worker burnout. And as a general sense of unwellness plagues more of us, social prescriptions can help us feel healthier than we’ve felt in years. As Hotz tours the globe to investigate the spread of social prescribing to over thirty countries, she meets people personifying its revolutionary potential: an aspiring novelist whose art workshop helps her cope with trauma symptoms and rediscover her joy; a policy researcher whose swimming course helps her taper off antidepressants and feel excited to wake up in the morning; an army vet whose phone conversations help him form his only true friendship; and dozens more. The success stories she finds bring a long-known theory to life: if we can change our environment, we can change our health. By reconnecting to what matters to us, we can all start to feel better.

Book Transatlantic Connections

    Book Details:
  • Author : M. Wynn Thomas
  • Publisher : University of Iowa Press
  • Release : 2009-11
  • ISBN : 1587295997
  • Pages : 305 pages

Download or read book Transatlantic Connections written by M. Wynn Thomas and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 2009-11 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this series of textual readings and cultural comparisons, M. Wynn Thomas explores Whitman’s amazing ability to appeal across distances and centuries. The book’s contrasting sections reflect the two locations studied: the first shows Whitman in his time and place, while the second repositions him within the cultures of England and Wales from the late 19th to the late 20th century. In the opening chapter he is placed against the vivid, outrageous background of the New York of his time; the second finds evidence in his poetry of a critique of the new urban politics of the emerging city boss; the third radically redefines Whitman's relationship to his famous contemporary Longfellow. Other chapters deal with the Civil War poet, exploring the ways in which his poetic responses were in part shaped by his relationship to his soldier brother George, and his use of the meteorological discoveries of his day to fashion metaphors for imaging the different phases of the conflict. The second section ponders the paradox that this Whitman, who was so much the product of his specific time and limited “local” culture, should come to be accepted as an international visionary. The United Kingdom is taken as offering striking instances of this phenomenon, and his transatlantic admirers are shown to have been engaged in an unconscious process of “translating” Whitman into the terms of their own culturally specific social, political, and sexual preoccupations. Some of the connections explored are those between Whitman and Edward Carpenter, the so-called English Whitman; between Whitman and perhaps his greatest English critic, D. H. Lawrence; and between Whitman and the Welsh poets Ernest Rhys, Amanwy (David Rees Griffiths), Niclas y Glais (T. E. Nicholas), Waldo Williams, Glyn Jones, Dylan Thomas, and R. S. Thomas. This bold and original study, offering new points of entry into understanding Whitman as the product of his time and place as well as understanding the reception of Whitman in the U.K. as a process of cultural translation, should fascinate scholars of Whitman and students of comparative literature.

Book Connecting Pulpit and Pew

Download or read book Connecting Pulpit and Pew written by Karla J. Bellinger and published by Liturgical Press. This book was released on 2014-05-08 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether you preach from a pulpit or sit in a pew, you hope (and pray) for a homily that connects the Good News with life. But what does it mean to connect? In a world that buzzes with the synapses of technological “connection,” can the human touch of preaching make a difference anymore? Connecting Pulpit and Pew is a fresh look at the conundrum of Catholic preaching, asking six key questions: Why does Sunday preaching matter and to whom? Why is Catholic preaching such an uphill climb? How can we connect the gospel message with our young people? What are the struggles of clergy-on-the-ground in preaching? What is going on in the listener’s head during the homily? And finally, what can each of us do to help “connection” in preaching become more common? New research speaks to those questions from the voices of youth, the experiences of lay leaders, and the words of priests and deacons. Karla Bellinger offers concrete ways to connect the pulpit and the pew so that preaching becomes an act of love within a community of caring. This practical book breaks open an important and necessary conversation.

Book The Sum of All Things  Connecting with the Spirit and God in Us All

Download or read book The Sum of All Things Connecting with the Spirit and God in Us All written by Derek L. Gray and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2016-10-05 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever had a moment that redefined everything you thought to be true about life, family, and faith? Derek L. Gray had such a moment in the fall of 2014, when he suffered a series of personal and professional setbacks that left him seeking answers to life's biggest questions. He was greeted by God and a host of spiritual guides more than happy to provide answers. In this book, he acts as a messenger of God, sharing what he learned over the course of two years. During that time, he spoke with angels, witnessed life hours after his birth, observed life before he was born, and crossed the veil to speak to his dad again. These amazing experiences-along with working side by side with his spiritual mother, Liese, and his spiritual guide, Harman, shape the life-changing messages in this book. If you've always been convinced that we can learn nothing more about God than what is written in the Bible, then open your mind to new ideas.
