Download or read book The Myth Gap written by Alex Evans and published by Random House. This book was released on 2017-01-12 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why, with absolutely no idea what Brexit actually meant, did the UK vote for Brexit? Why, rather than vote for the best-qualified candidate ever to stand as US President, did voters opt for a reality TV star with no political experience? In both cases, the winning side promised change and offered hope. They told a story voters longed to hear. And in the absence of greater, more unifying narratives, then true or not, voters plumped for the best story available. Once upon a time our society was rich in stories. They brought us together and helped us to understand the world and ourselves. We called them myths. Today, we have a myth gap – a vacuum that Alex Evans argues powerfully and persuasively is both dangerous and an opportunity. In this time of global crisis and transition– mass migration, inequality, resource scarcity, and climate change - It is stories, rather than facts and pie-charts,that will animate us and bring us together. It is by finding new myths, those that speak to us of renewal and restoration, that we will navigate our way to a better future. Drawing on his first-hand experience as a political adviser within British government and at the United Nations, and examining the history of climate change campaigning and recent contests such as Brexit and the US presidential election, Alex Evans explores: *how tomorrow’s activists are using narratives for change, * how modern stories have been used and abused, * where we might find the right myths that will take us forward

Download or read book And the Sky Was Clean written by Catherine Gervais' and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010-06 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "And the Sky Was Clean" is a compelling story; beautifully written about life on the windswept shores of a small southern town on the Gulf of Mexico; Long Beach, Mississippi. It was the summer of '69 that a monster was lurking in the Atlantic Ocean, biding her time and growing like a fast spreading cancer. Her name was Camille. She would be dubbed "the storm of a lifetime"; devastating the entire Gulf Coast and a way of life beloved by all. The Gervais' family, like so much of the Coast, is a melting pot of cultures. Gene, the patriarch hailed from the beautiful land of lakes in far off St. Paul Minnesota. He met married Ida, a daughter of the south, whose roots run deep in the Mississippi mud after World War II while stationed at Keesler Air Force Base in the nearby town of Biloxi. Later, their youngest, Cathy would fall in love with a handsome young Biloxi boy by the name of Ricky Suarez who's Cajun French and Spanish ancestry is forever linked with the sea and all her bounty. While the south endured times of civil unrest and the Vietnam War, it also was forced to suffer through Camille, a level five catastrophic hurricane on a hot August night in 1969; who forever changed the standard of measurement for all other storms that rolled ashore thereafter. Then in 2005, the storm of all storms: hurricane Katrina made Camille look as though it were a mere warm up performance for the main act. It's been said that hurricane Camille killed more people in 2005 than she did in 1969, due to the local attitudes that espoused her as the icon of all storms, the tempest that would surely never come to pass again! As New Orleans took center stage in the national news, the fact that Mississippi bore the brunt of Katrina's wrath was lost to a nation glued to events unfolding in the Crescent City. Countless small villages and communities across Mississippi were plunged into darkness, cut off from the rest of the world; struggling to survive the elements! Life and the effects of these two catastrophic events are told in this compelling story based on the events as they unfolded with both families, bound by the love of their two children for one another. Each family is touched and forever changed by their struggles and triumphs as Cathy and Ricky discover through their faith in God that no matter how great the battle; God's love and hope is greater still!

Download or read book A Collection of Me written by Steven Richmond and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-06-01 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The title A Collection of Me is a collection of poems that are about my life experiences, my thoughts, my hopes, and my prayers. There are some poems that deal with my alcoholism, my family losses, and my emotions about those times in my life when I felt no hope. Others are of times when I was grateful for people who were there for me in my time of need without my even expecting them to show. There are poems about dear friends that struggled with the same affliction as myself and how hopeless I felt to help them. They are my prayers spoken to my God about how I felt at different times of my life. These are the sights, sounds, and smells of my world and how they affected my outlook for that particular day. I put into words my feelings, and I put to paper thoughts that I cannot speak to others. Words are the extension of the feelings I have for myself and the world I live in. They give me a sense of peace, a calming embrace, and an overall feeling of well-being. When I’m angry or afraid, confused or overwhelmed, tired or wound up tight, I pick up my pen and start to write. The words flow so quickly, and before I know it, another poem gives me the answer to my problem, whatever it may be. It’s as though God himself was talking to me through my own words and giving me the solution. I find that writing is the outlet and the inspiration I need to live my life to the fullest with humility and gratitude. Gratitude for God helping me to be the best at what he wants me to be. Humility to serve others with love and genuine concern for their emotional and mental well-being. My hope is that you find this collection beneficial in your own struggles in life and that you can use these as steps toward healing.
