Book excerpt: Understanding Apathy and How to Combat It For many Christians, apathy can feel inescapable.

This listlessness can spill over into our spiritual lives, making it difficult to pray, read the Bible, or engage in our communities. Have we resigned ourselves to apathy? Do we recognize it as a sin? How can we fight against it? In Overcoming Apathy, theology professor Uche Anizor explains what apathy is and gives practical, biblical advice to break the cycle. Inspired by his conversations with young Christians as well as his own experiences with apathy, Anizor takes a fresh look at this widespread problem and its effect on spiritual maturity. First, he highlights the prevalence of apathy in our culture, using examples from TV, movies, and social media.

Download or read book Ibuanyidanda written by Innocent Asouzu and published by Lit Verlag. This book was released on 2007 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philosophy should, in a dynamic and global world of intercultural dimensions and many different world views communicating with each other, deal with these very phenomena. In this series works on these intercultural and interdisciplinary embedded perspectives and purviews will be published. The series will promote philosophy's going intercultural, interdisciplinary, planetary, global, humanitarian and humanistic in a practical sense. The book is a new attempt at articulating ontology in a way that makes metaphysics more adaptable to concrete problems of life. The author uses the Igbo termIbuanyidanda (complementarity) as the new ontological horizon around which he expounds the notion of being. Within this horizon, he designates being as that on account of which anything that exists serves a missing link of reality. Hence, a thing can be said to be if it has the capacity to be grasped within the framework of mutual complementary relationship of all existent realities i.e. ka so mu adina. With this, the author shows how an abstract bifurcating notions of being can be avoided such that ontology is made very relevant to issues dealing with mutual understanding and regulation of conflicts.

Download or read book Current Trends in Nigerian Pidgin English written by Akinmade T. Akande and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-10-25 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the structure and sociolinguistics of Nigerian Pidgin English. Its major aim is to serve as a compendium which touches different major aspects of NPE as it has been observed that earlier works in this area have focused only on one aspect or the other. It will offer a broad survey of the form and functions of Nigerian Pidgin (NP) in different domains. The book promises to investigate the use of NP in such domains as popular culture, advertisement, social media and online discussion fora. One major strong point of this volume is the fact that it will direct attention to different fertile areas of NP by focusing, inter alia, on its social functions, its morphology and syntax, its regional varieties, its (possible) use as a viable medium of instruction in school, the changing attitudes of people towards its use, the place of NP in relation to language planning and policy in Nigeria as well as sociolinguistic variation within NP. The book will make a significant contribution to the existing literature on NP as, unlike earlier studies in this area, it will explore the grammatical, sociolinguistic and perceptual aspects of the language. By bringing together the expertise of renowned Nigerian and international scholars who have conducted research in this area, the volume will be an essential resource for researchers, graduate and undergraduate students interested not only in Nigerian Pidgin but also on contact linguistics.
