Book excerpt: The New York Times bestseller – a “crystal-clear, constantly engaging” (Jared Diamond) exploration of the role that religious belief plays in our lives and our interactions For all the thousands of books that have been written about religion, few until this one have attempted to examine it scientifically: to ask why—and how—it has shaped so many lives so strongly. Is religion a product of blind evolutionary instinct or rational choice? Is it truly the best way to live a moral life? Ranging through biology, history, and psychology, Daniel C. Dennett charts religion’s evolution from “wild” folk belief to “domesticated” dogma. Not an antireligious screed but an unblinking look beneath the veil of orthodoxy, Breaking the Spell will be read and debated by believers and skeptics alike.

This book was released on 2024-04-15 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Devil's ultimate purpose for mankind is to kill, to steal and to destroy. The Devil isn't moved by our singing, shouting or dancing but what makes the Devil uneasy is when we seek the Lord wholeheartedly through the place of prayer, fasting and time in his presence. It is when we neglect our prayer time and time in God's presence, that we give the enemy an opportunity to destabilize us, to impede our progress or hinder God's divine plan and purpose for our future. That is why we as people are daily wrestling with different aspects of stagnation and limitation despite our best efforts at living an honorable life. We must realize that we are not fighting seen forces but unseen forces and the way we effectively defeat these entities that have no good intentions towards us is by God's power and being in his presence. In this powerful book, Jennifer highlights different stories of people, like many of us, that have dealt with the spirit of stagnation in their lives. Whether it was a result of sin within the family, generational curses or some other issue, it doesn't matter because once they earnestly sought the Lord and cried out to him, the Lord intervened and brought them out of their situations victoriously! This book is also a great read in that it highlights different prayers to help us with your spiritual warfare prayers, bible study and time in God's presence and, this book is additionally is a great read in that it will actively engage the readers through mini lessons and other devotional articles that they will enjoy!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Breaking the Spell: An Exploration of Human Perception examines how people have become largely disconnected from a living, energetic universe through social conditioning. Over generations humanity has lost much of its creative spirit, imagination, and perceptual faculties. In this book the author addresses how we should 'break the spell' of our conditioned perceptions and learn to manage and develop our emotional, mental, and physical energies. Through such chapters as Managing One's Energy, Being Vigilant, and Stepping Away, the author explains in very simple language the necessity for each person to regain their focus, inner calm, and to observe the chaotic impacts that surround them. The author also discusses how a person can refine their perceptions through inner intent. The book also contains an inspiring collection of thoughts; and an Appendix on the misunderstandings of modern day spirituality. In these distracting times it is imperative that each person learns to empower themselves by learning to harness and develop their personal energies. This timely book explains just how to 'break the spell' of our hypnotic world. , ,

Download or read book Odyssey Works written by Abraham Burickson and published by Chronicle Books. This book was released on 2016-11-08 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Odyssey Works infiltrates the life of one person at a time to create a customtailored, life-altering performance. It may last for one day or a few months and consists of experiences that blur the boundaries of life and art—is that subway mariachi band, used book of poetry, or meal with a new friend real or a part of the performance? Central to this book is their 2013 performance for Rick Moody, author of The Ice Storm. His Odyssey lasted four months and included a fake children's book, introducing the themes of his performance, and a cello concert in a Saskatchewan prairie (which Moody almost missed after being stopped at customs with, suspiciously, no idea why he was traveling to Canada). The book includes Moody's interviews with Odyssey Works, an original short story by Amy Hempel, and six proposals for a new theory of making art.
