Download or read book The View from Jacob s Ladder written by David Curzon and published by Jewish Publication Society. This book was released on 1996 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following his critically acclaimed Modern Poems on the Bible, David Curzon gives us The View from Jacob's Ladder: One Hundred Midrashim, a look at biblical and other classic Jewish texts through his witty poetry and prose. After exploring what modern poets made of these ancient tales and then using the literary devices he learned from the poets and from the ancient commentators, Curzon writes his own midrashim. The View from Jacob's Ladder is a dialogue between the ancient and the modern, as is Modern Poems on the Bible; here, however, the modern voice is Curzon's alone. It is sometimes acerbic, sometimes playful, and speaks to all who are looking for modern approaches to ancient texts.
Download or read book Jacob s Ladder written by Joel Yanofsky and published by The Porcupine's Quill. This book was released on 1997 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A romantic comedy written with the authenticity of a memoir, Jacob's Ladder is entertaining and intelligent. Full of wit, slapstick and heart, it conjures up the great screwball comedies of the 1940s. Joel Yanofsky writes about a community he knows intimately -- anglophone Montréal -- a community which has, over the years, both changed dramatically and dramatically resisted change. The same is true of Yanofsky's narrator, Jacob Glassman, a thirtysomething Oliver Twist stuck in the suburban home he grew up in and clinging to the status quo for dear life. Not easy to do for a man who is pursuing two women at the same time and who is caught up in a shifting series of love triangles. When it comes to craziness, Jacob points out, there's an awfully wide margin for error. In Jacob's Ladder, that margin is stretched to the limit by a cast of hilarious, haywire characters: rogue real estate agents, sentimental adulterers, an obese shrink, an agoraphobic travel agent, a transsexual newspaper editor, and a proselytzing rabbinical student with his sights set on Jacob's bewildered soul.
Download or read book Jacob s Ladder written by Peter Kreeft and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2013-01-31 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are ten important questions everyone should ask; ; and the answers to these questions, which lead to ultimate ; truth, are a matter of reason, not of faith. Well-known Catholic philosopher and writer Peter ; Kreeft tackles each of these questions in a logical ; step-by-step way, like climbing the rungs of a ladder. ; Because questions are best answered by dialogue, Kreeft ; answers these fundamental questions in an imaginary ; conversation between two very different people who meet at ; the beach. Kreeft's characters begin at the ; beginning, at the bottom of the ladder, which is the ; passion for truth. When it comes to the most important ; questions a person can ask, no mere interest in ; philosophical dabbling will do. The passion for truth does ; not stop there, however, but carries the reader from one ; page to the next in this thought-provoking adventure of the ; mind. Among the topics, or "steps", that ; Kreeft's characters delve into include: Do you ; have the passion to know? Does truth ; exist? What is the meaning of life? What ; is love, and why is it so important for our ; lives? If there is a God, what proof is there for ; his existence? Has God revealed himself to us in a ; personal way? And many other important ; questions and topics to help climb the ladder to the truth ; about life.

Download or read book Jacob s Ladder written by Ludmila Ulitskaya and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2019-07-09 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of Russia’s most renowned literary figures and a Man Booker International Prize nominee, Ludmila Ulitskaya presents what may be her final novel. Jacob’s Ladder is a family saga spanning a century of recent Russian history—and represents the summation of the author’s career, devoted to sharing the absurd and tragic tales of twentieth-century life in her nation. Jumping between the diaries and letters of Jacob Ossetsky in Kiev in the early 1900s and the experiences of his granddaughter Nora in the theatrical world of Moscow in the 1970s and beyond, Jacob’s Ladder guides the reader through some of the most turbulent times in the history of Russia and Ukraine, and draws suggestive parallels between historical events of the early twentieth century and those of more recent memory. Spanning the seeming promise of the prerevolutionary years, to the dark Stalinist era, to the corruption and confusion of the present day, Jacob’s Ladder is a pageant of romance, betrayal, and memory. With a scale worthy of Tolstoy, it asks how much control any of us have over our lives—and how much is in fact determined by history, by chance, or indeed by the genes passed down by the generations that have preceded us into the world.

Download or read book Finding Jacob s Ladder Book I in the Jacob s Ladder Series written by Mark James Foster and published by Writers Republic LLC. This book was released on 2021-04-09 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finding Jacob's Ladder Book I in Ascending Jacob's Ladder In many ways, this book is a duplicate of the book that I have written called Ask, Knock, Seek and Find. Besides the events that I have shown that were dreamt that transpired, which had taken place since its original manuscript was written. I have also integrated the dream definitions directly into this book, which is named. Finding Jacob's Ladder. Out of the three Books in this series of which are being published simultaneously, this book sets the stage for the following parables. Dreams have been given to man to instruct them or even forewarn them of events to come. I have also found that they are fantastic parables allowing one willing to pay heed and understanding the Spirit of Christ and that of the Holy Ghost. Giving meaning to the supernal comprehension that the spirit dictates as the parable means to them in their lives. Dreams and visions can show each person their possible future. The varied meanings of each of the interpreted dreams. If they haven't already taken place or when they do take place in the future. Dreams and visions are revelation given to man by our Heavenly Father! "Ensuring they are correctly translated." We know the time of the Lord is at hand, and those that assume that they will have many more years to repent are only not seeing the signs in the heavens but are not reading their scriptures. Sadly, they will be mistaken when these devastations occur, which are only a description of a couple of these devastating destructions that will take place on earth as it rolls to and fro. It will be from these devastations that occur to the saints and all those who live within that region that will initiate the remainder of the world events prophesied to occur. Pay great heed to the words of Isaiah, for Nephi himself told us that Isaiah's writings were meant for our day. That through dreams, God will still give warnings and guidance. As long as we seek out the Holy Ghost for the correct Interpretation of those dreams and/or visions, we are humbly requesting of our Heavenly Father for our families and ourselves, knowing that these revelations were meant for you and your own family personally. Understanding that your dreams or visions will never go against the counsel of our prophet or apostles. There is no need for me to say much more, for within these three Books, this being the first. You will have a far greater understanding of myself as the writer or merely the pen. Then what a few more lines about myself could illustrate. Above all, the Love I have for our Heavenly Father, the Lord our Savior Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost is paramount.
Download or read book Jacob s Ladder written by Marina Aptekman and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing primarily on the close study of literary works presented in the broad cultural and historical context, Jacob's Ladder discusses the reflection of kabbalistic allegory in Russian literature and provides a detailed analysis of the evolution of the perception of Kabbalah in Russian consciousness. Aptekman investigates the questions of when, how and why Kabbalah has been used in Russian literary texts from Pre-Romanticism to Modernism and what particular role it played in the larger context of the Russian literary tradition. The correct understanding of this liaison helps the reader to clarify many enigmatic images in Russian literary works of the last two centuries and to understand the roots of a particular cultural falsification that played an important role in the anti-Semitic mythology of the twentieth century.

Download or read book Ascending Jacob s Ladder written by Mark Foster and published by . This book was released on 2021-03-30 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ascending Jacob's Ladder Book II in Ascending Jacob's Ladder Series This is to me one of the enjoyable books out of the three that I have been able to pen, I feel like I have so much life left in me during much of this book. I find also it tells me little things pertaining to the great advent that will take place within Utah Valley. In one of the first dreams, I also become aware of how the advisory gets into the heart of men and takes them down to the depths of the lake, to consume at his will. As I go through this work, I find that there are events that are going to take place that I later, by pure happenchance find the answer to while reading my scripture events that I have read several times but for some reason I was unable to see those events with the clarity that I know see them taking place. You will also see that there is a dream that is called, "The Parable of being schooled" I nearly named this entire series after that vary chapter because it taught to me that throughout all of the parables that are being written. It is "The Parable of being Schooled" that most explained to me what was going on throughout this dreaming and interpreting process. Then once again I decided to place into this work one of the same parables that I used in the first book of this series because I was directly told to pause for a time, that is what I did. I didn't begin again until I was once again told to move forward why this was, I have no Idea, but like I have stated, "I am only the pen in this project, nothing more." Regardless I am happy to do so. There are so many events that take place in these parables that astound me such as that of, "The Parable of The Baptism of Fire." This took place just before we had Covid-19 hit us, I found that this event was why I ended up moving into Spokane for only a year. Halfway through that year was when Covid-19 hit us and all the pleasurable moments of having family over had to stop. I have also found that the Lord was stretching me through these dreams and vision, they from before the first book started out with just ten or so symbols. As time progressed, they had evolved into fifty and then into a hundred and fifty symbols that showed up during each dream. I should probably save this tid-bit for the third book, but I was given one dream out of that book that carried over three-hundred-eighty symbols, that dream took me well over two weeks to interpret. As a little secret to let you know that in order for me to understand dreams in the manner, they are to be understood that I have to go through a seven-step process through which each dream is interpreted at which point I have to decide between three different forums of how to present each dream, this is done by the spirit. I would often have a dream and assume I understood it but until I put it through this process, I truly had no idea of how the Lord made sense of the way I received the dream, then to finally see how each dream evolved. There is no way I could have put together these dreams and vision and had them present the understanding that exists without him being in control of this process. I know if you are paying attention to the Spirit that you will find alternate meanings to each one of these parables when you review them. I pray that you may gain more knowledge, inspiration and wisdom as you read and travel through all of these discoveries as I have.
