Download or read book Aspects of Confused Speech written by Pamela Shakespeare and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-14 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on research focusing on the experience of having confused speech and being with confused speakers, this book begins with everyday, commonly understood ideas such as "talking too much" and examines how confused speech is "brought off" as a collaborative activity by the people involved. The author became involved in this project because she was interested in how "confusion" seemed to be something that everyone is not only involved in but also recognizes as part of ordinary life. At the same time, "confusion" is a word that is used somewhat as a blanket category for some people considered permanently incompetent and "set apart" from ordinary members of society. Her study analyzes how talk between confused and normal speakers throws light on this tension.
Download or read book My Faith So Far written by Patton Dodd and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2007-06-15 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this frank, funny, and often challenging memoir about life in and out of the church, twenty-something Patton Dodd reveals his quest for an authentic experience of God. On his journey he attempts to pinpoint and justify his belief in God, first with the fervent absolutes that characterize a new believer’s faith but then with a growing awareness of the cultural complexities that define his faith and encompass his understanding of Christianity. When a spiritual awakening in his last year of high school wrenches Dodd out of his rebellious party days, he embarks on a quest for God. He exchanges pot smoking for worship dancing, gives up MTV for Christian pop, and enrolls at a Christian university. Soon, however, he finds himself ill at ease with the other Christians around him and with the cloying superficiality of the Christian subculture. Dodd tells his story in contradictory terms—conversion and confusion, acceptance and rejection, spiritual highs and psychological lows. With painstaking honesty, he tries to negotiate a relationship with his faith apart from the cultural trappings that often clothe it. Dodd’s moving story paints a nuanced and multilayered portrait of an earnest quest for God: the hunger for genuine faith, the bleak encounters with doubt, and the consuming questions that challenge the intellect and the soul. This is a story that will resonate with the emerging generation of young adults attempting to break new ground within their own faith tradition.

Download or read book The Sense of an Ending written by Julian Barnes and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2011-10-05 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BOOKER PRIZE WINNER • NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A novel that follows a middle-aged man as he contends with a past he never much thought about—until his closest childhood friends return with a vengeance: one of them from the grave, another maddeningly present. A novel so compelling that it begs to be read in a single setting, The Sense of an Ending has the psychological and emotional depth and sophistication of Henry James at his best, and is a stunning achievement in Julian Barnes's oeuvre. Tony Webster thought he left his past behind as he built a life for himself, and his career has provided him with a secure retirement and an amicable relationship with his ex-wife and daughter, who now has a family of her own. But when he is presented with a mysterious legacy, he is forced to revise his estimation of his own nature and place in the world.
Download or read book Common Understandings Poetic Confusion written by William N. West and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2021-11-30 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "What if at night at the theaters in Elizabethan England more closely resembled attending a rugby match than sitting in a dark, silent audience, passively witnessing the action on the stage, or closer to going to a rock concert than sitting in front of a large or small screen, quietly and distantly absorbing a film or television drama? In this book, West proposes a new account of what happened in the playhouses of Shakespeare's time, and the kind of participatory entertainment expected by both the actors and the audience. Combining the precision of a philologist and the imagination of a philosopher, West performs careful readings of premodern figures of speech--including understanding, confusion, occupation, eating, and fighting--still in use today, but whose meanings for Elizabethan players, playgoers, and writers have diverged in subtle ways in our era. Playing itself was not restricted to the confines of the actors on the stage but pertained just as much to the audience in a collaborative rather than individualized theater experience, more corporeal, tactile, and active, rather than purely receptive and visual. Thrown apples, smashed bottles of beer, and lumbering bears--these and more contributed to both the verbal and physical interactions between players and playgoers, creating circuits of exchange, production, and consumption,all within the confines of the playhouse. West's account of the experience of the playhouse shows more affinity--and continuity--with more raucous, unruly medieval drama than previous literary critics have allowed. It will be of interest to a wide audience, actors, directors, and scholars included"
Download or read book Insights written by Norman Sorensen and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2013-07-27 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Norman Sorensen has now gathered a selection of genial anecdotes, lively retellings of Biblical verses, and deep spiritual insights. The book is drawn from one man's extraordinary life experiences, spanning the decades from before World War II to the present. Here is the wisdom of a man who has lived through a century of tumult and change, where the only consistency is the one that counts: the overwhelming reach of God's love.Without diminshing their spritual message, Sorensen brings color and life to Biblical stories with vibrantly imagined details. We experience the sight of white seagulls soaring over the Sea of Galilee, the thunder of horses in the Moab army, the tumbling clouds of dust as crowds gather near Jesus. Sorensen's retelling of stories like those of Saul, of Nicodemus, of David and Goliath are faithful to the Bible to the finest detail, but written in contemporary vernacular. It's as if the people in the Bible are speaking directly to us today -- which, Sorensen is reminding us -- they are.
Download or read book Diary of a Confused Christian written by Nai B Wise and published by OnyxAcumen. This book was released on 2024-03-30 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This read is a self-help supplement to prompt consideration of influences on life's choices and to empower one's mind to choose truth over traditions. I've been triggered since I was 8 years old, and the time has come for me to excavate and discover my inner contents. No more going along to get along. I fervently and tearfully sought answers to my questions, and I found them. Answers not to boast that I know more, but to bring me and hopefully others peace. I know these answers will trigger some folks. I know these answers will make me more enemies. But I do hope these answers will help someone. I hope these answers will prevent physical and spiritual suicide, and, above all, bring understanding. This book is dedicated to the backslider, the doubter, the once faith-filled turned atheist, the almost reprobate, and borderline blasphemer; and to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, who is able to keep us from falling and who just wants to reason with us.
Download or read book States of Confusion written by Don Waisanen and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2023-01-03 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shows the maddening difficulties that voter ID requirements create for participants in US democracy and offers concrete solutions for every person’s vote and voice to count Over the past decade, and throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of voter ID laws has skyrocketed, limiting the ability of nearly twenty-five million eligible voters from exercising their constitutional right to cast a vote. In States of Confusion, Don Waisanen, Sonia Jarvis, and Nicole Gordon explore this crisis and the difficulties it has created for American voters, offering practical solutions for this increasingly important problem. Focusing on ten states with the strictest voter documentation requirements, the authors show how people face major barriers to exercising their fundamental democratic right to vote and are therefore slipping through the cracks of our electoral system. They explore voter experiences by drawing on hundreds of online surveys, audits of 150 election offices, community focus groups, and more. Waisanen, Jarvis, and Gordon call on policymakers to adopt uniform national voter identification standards that are simple, accessible, and cost-free. States of Confusion offers a comprehensive and up-to-date look at the voter ID crisis in our country, as well solutions for practitioners, government agencies, and citizens.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mind and Its World I begins a detailed analysis of the subjective side of experience. It examines mind and how it perceives its world in valid and invalid ways based on the Classifications of Mind, which provides divisions and definitions of the types of mind identified in the epistemological tradition of Dignaga and Dharmakirti. The key point is the discernment of the aspects of mind that validly perceive things the way they are, which are distinguished from those aspects of mind that are mistaken and tainted by fundamental delusion, and thus keep one bound in samsara. It also introduces the two Hinayana philosophical systems, the Vaibhashika and Sautrantika schools, covering the two truths and the process of perception. Selected readings, analytical meditations, study questions, review summaries are included in the sourcebook.
