Download or read book The Sifting Project written by Mikaela Brewer and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2021-07-27 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tony Crypt and Paul Elliott are brilliant, poverty-stricken teenagers living in the Bronx at the helm of the Second World War. As they grow up in a swelling wake of loss, a tunnelled path of engulfing research paves their way forward: they gain insight into the trajectories of souls and memories when someone dies. As Tony and Paul desperately deepen their understanding of the composition and malleability of these trajectories, their research falls into the wrong hands — a fearful government, frantic for the ability to sift through and control a tainted past and the path of knowledge. As Tony and Paul battle with an arrested ability to alter the outcome of their actions, two talented young people with arduous pasts are accosting the barriers of time and circumstance, connecting each line between Tony, Paul, their research, and the hands it should be left in. A swirling of the boundaries of neuroscience, astrophysics, and poetry, The Sifting Project characterizes the biological path of love, trust, loss, control, and legacy within the memories of time. The Sifting Project teaches tensions like non-fiction, illustrates experiences and observations like a memoir, and loves like that one story you'll never forget. It's the excuse you need to read fiction and forget that work exists. This story will remind you that the essence of who you are — your memories, experiences, and truths — is what makes you irreplaceable in the narrative of change. When you do the work to listen to yourself and others, you can lift both history and the future. You are The Sifting Project of today. Be the voice of the truth.
Download or read book Sifting written by Mike Mac Domhnaill and published by Liberties Press. This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fifteen short stories in this collection immerse readers in rural Ireland. They are full of singing and laughing, pranks and family disputes, desperation and comfort. Mike Mac Domhnaill's distinctive voice and prose-poetry-like writing style bring to life characters both familiar and vivid. He makes the visceral pain of grieving real, and forcefully reminds readers of the disconnect between memory and reality, and how that disparity has its own healing power. The stories in Sifting are marked by an authenticity of character and dialogue, and peppered with references to Irish history and culture. 'These people, places and situations are wonderfully observed; full of the wry humour and the lilt and roll of west Limerick. There is a richness and a verisimilitude to the dialogue and a natural rhythm to the language that draws in and holds the reader, who becomes an eavesdropper, present but unseen.' —Donal Ryan, author of The Spinning Heart Mike Mac Domhnaill won RTÉ's Francis MacManus Short Story Award in 2013. He has had numerous poems and short stories published, in Nua-Aois, An Cloigeann is a Luach, The Stony Thursday Book, Microphone On, Dal gCais, LÁ, Weekly Observer, Limerick Leader and Feasta. He has two books of poetry: Mac Baintrí/Widow's Son (2009) and Macalla Maidu (2013). He lives in Newcastle West, County Limerick.
Download or read book Sifting Through the Ashes written by Michael T. Nguyen and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2011-01-13 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sifting Through the Ashes is a purge of normal day words and phrases spilled onto the page in complete randomness. In its deepest sense of themes, Ive discovered a more cohesive way to explore the creative process. Ive strayed from my more logical workings to a more budding body of beautification. The themes are set from rhyming couplets to story telling stanzas. The lines are more likeable because of the sound Ive procured. And the lines also find their identity through the meanings of each word. All in all, Sifting Through the Ashes is a great attempt to perfect the English word.
Download or read book Surviving the Sifting of God written by Johnny Willis and published by Tate Publishing. This book was released on 2010-05 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It doesn't matter who we are or what our accomplishments in life are; we are absolutely no good to God until we submit to the sifting of God. The enemy of your soul would do everything to keep you from being totally submissive to God and His will for your life. Surviving the Sifting of God is a hard-hitting truth that causes every believer to examine themselves in their walk with the Lord. God transforms lives when they are willing to allow him to touch anything that Satan has secretly placed there to be a stumbling block to them. Surviving the Sifting of God uses ordinary biblical characters to point out how Satan will attempt to come against you to prevent you from accomplishing God's ultimate purpose for your life. Peter, the man that Jesus would call to be the first pastor of the New Testament church would face the sifter and would fail miserably! The good news is that Jesus promised him that He had already prayed for him. Through the sifting process Peter learned that there was an unfailing faith in a failing situation. Johnny Willis, author of Servant Worthy, is a successful pastor with cutting-edge mentorship and teaching skills spanning more than thirty-nine years. He is a graduate with a doctorate in theology from Springs of Life Bible College. His studies and experiences come to life in Surviving the Sifting of God.

This book was released on 2022-11-03 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sifting End-Times Mythologies from Biblical Realities will challenge your way of seeing end-times prophecies like never before.

This book addresses many of the errors of the past called mythologies. The reader will find more specific and detailed information about biblical words and biblical text than has been presented in the past one hundred years. As this book will ask others to be more specific, it will also be more detailed and specific, concerning the questions it asks of others. In this book, you will discover that you have heard many things that, to be polite, are simply not accurate, and by doing so will greatly increase understanding of GodaEUR(tm)s prophetic word. You will find your eyes being opened about the events as well as their chronological order better than others by helping you, the reader, to sift between what you have heard and what GodaEUR(tm)s word actually says. If anything, this book will challenge the reader to think about what they have been taught in the past.
Download or read book A Time of Sifting written by Paul Peucker and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2015-06-19 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the end of the 1740s, the Moravians, a young and rapidly expanding radical-Pietist movement, experienced a crisis soon labeled the Sifting Time. As Moravian leaders attempted to lead the church away from the abuses of the crisis, they also tried to erase the memory of this controversial and embarrassing period. Archival records were systematically destroyed, and official histories of the church only dealt with this period in general terms. It is not surprising that the Sifting Time became both a taboo and an enigma in Moravian historiography. In A Time of Sifting, Paul Peucker provides the first book-length, in-depth look at the Sifting Time and argues that it did not consist of an extreme form of blood-and-wounds devotion, as is often assumed. Rather, the Sifting Time occurred when Moravians began to believe that the union with Christ could be experienced not only during marital intercourse but during extramarital sex as well. Peucker shows how these events were the logical consequence of Moravian teachings from previous years. As the nature of the crisis became evident, church leaders urged the members to revert to their earlier devotion of the blood and wounds of Christ. By returning to this earlier phase, the Moravians lost their dynamic character and became more conservative. It was at this moment that the radical-Pietist Moravians of the first half of the eighteenth century reinvented themselves as a noncontroversial evangelical denomination.
Download or read book With Golden Visions Bright Before Them written by Will Bagley and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2012-10-01 with total page 604 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the mid-nineteenth century, a quarter of a million travelers—men, women, and children—followed the “road across the plains” to gold rush California. This magnificent chronicle—the second installment of Will Bagley’s sweeping Overland West series—captures the danger, excitement, and heartbreak of America’s first great rush for riches and its enduring consequences. With narrative scope and detail unmatched by earlier histories, With Golden Visions Bright Before Them retells this classic American saga through the voices of the people whose eyewitness testimonies vividly evoke the most dramatic era of westward migration. Traditional histories of the overland roads paint the gold rush migration as a heroic epic of progress that opened new lands and a continental treasure house for the advancement of civilization. Yet, according to Bagley, the transformation of the American West during this period is more complex and contentious than legend pretends. The gold rush epoch witnessed untold suffering and sacrifice, and the trails and their trials were enough to make many people turn back. For America’s Native peoples, the effect of the massive migration was no less than ruinous. The impact that tens of thousands of intruders had on Native peoples and their homelands is at the center of this story, not on its margins. Beautifully written and richly illustrated with photographs and maps, With Golden Visions Bright Before Them continues the saga that began with Bagley’s highly acclaimed, award-winning So Rugged and Mountainous: Blazing the Trails to Oregon and California, 1812–1848, hailed by critics as a classic of western history.

Download or read book Sifting Your Life written by Joy Angell Stalvey Barefoot and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2022-10-03 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sifting Your Life, and Gathering Pearls is the manifestation of more than six decades of poetry and prose, and the love of written and spoken word. Readers are witness to an elegantly crafted, and at times stark, slideshow of the American south, from The Great Depression, through World War II and Vietnam, while still settling into quip and delightful remembrances of what true friendship and compassion look like over decades of caring. Realist and Renaissance Woman merged, she has a gift for capturing the spectrum of blessings, joy, and grief, as well as highlighting the segregated south and cultural hypocrisy we continue to encounter today. Bringing forth from her ancestors, the strength, compassion, and resolve to bring balance to social inequality, Joy’s writings about her own friends and family bring full-circle the impressions of seeing the raw realness of human beings ... family and stranger alike. This collection of poetry nudges readers to a higher awareness in their interactions with one another and with the world.

Download or read book Daughters of the Earth written by Carolyn Niethammer and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-05-11 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: She was both guardian of the hearth and, on occasion, ruler and warrior, leading men into battle, managing the affairs of her people, sporting war paint as well as necklaces and earrings—she is the Native American woman. She built houses and ground corn, wove blankets and painted pottery, played field hockey and rode racehorses. Frequently she enjoyed an open and joyous sexuality before marriage; if her marriage didn't work out she could divorce her husband by the mere act of returning to her parents. She mourned her dead by tearing her clothes and covering herself with ashes, and when she herself died was often shrouded in her wedding dress. She was our native sister, the American Indian woman, and it is of her life and lore that Carolyn Niethammer writes in this rich tapestry of America's past and present. Here, as it unfolded, is the chronology of the Native American woman's life. Here are the birth rites of Caddo women from the Mississippi-Arkansas border, who bore their children alone by the banks of rivers and then immersed themselves and their babies in river water; here are Apache puberty ceremonies that are still carried on today, when the cost for the celebrations can run anywhere from one to six thousand dollars. Here are songs from the Night Dances of the Sioux, where girls clustered on one side of the lodge and boys congregated on the other; here is the Shawnee legend of the Corn Person and of Our Grandmother, the two female deities who ruled the earth. Far from the submissive, downtrodden “squaw” of popular myth, the Native American woman emerges as a proud, sometimes stoic, always human individual from whom those who came after can learn much. At a time when many contemporary American women are seeking alternatives to a lifestyle and role they have outgrown, Daughters of the Earth offers us an absorbing—and illuminating—legacy of dignity and purpose.
