Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ***A BEST BOOK OF 2018 SELECTION*** NPR * The Washington Post * Book Riot * Autostraddle * Psychology Today ***A BEST FEMINIST BOOK SELECTION*** Refinery 29, Book Riot, Autostraddle, BITCH Rage Becomes Her is an “utterly eye opening” (Bustle) book that gives voice to the causes, expressions, and possibilities of female rage. As women, we’ve been urged for so long to bottle up our anger, letting it corrode our bodies and minds in ways we don’t even realize. Yet there are so, so many legitimate reasons for us to feel angry, ranging from blatant, horrifying acts of misogyny to the subtle drip, drip drip of daily sexism that reinforces the absurdly damaging gender norms of our society. In Rage Becomes Her, Soraya Chemaly argues that our anger is not only justified, it is also an active part of the solution. We are so often encouraged to resist our rage or punished for justifiably expressing it, yet how many remarkable achievements would never have gotten off the ground without the kernel of anger that fueled them? Approached with conscious intention, anger is a vital instrument, a radar for injustice and a catalyst for change. On the flip side, the societal and cultural belittlement of our anger is a cunning way of limiting and controlling our power—one we can no longer abide. “A work of great spirit and verve” (Time), Rage Becomes Her is a validating, energizing read that will change the way you interact with the world around you.

Download or read book The Case for Rage written by Myisha Cherry and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-10-04 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Anger has a bad reputation. Many people think that it is counterproductive, distracting, and destructive. It is a negative emotion, many believe, because it can lead so quickly to violence or an overwhelming fury. And coming from people of color, it takes on connotations that are even more sinister, stirring up stereotypes, making white people fear what an angry other might be capable of doing, when angry, and leading them to turn to hatred or violence in turn, to squelch an anger that might upset the racial status quo"--

Download or read book The Seven Guardians written by Jacqueline Ferguson and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2021-08-25 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Guided by Spirit to write The Seven Guardians, this book describes the incredible path Miryam the Migdalah (Mary Magdalene) envisioned within her heart, guided by her beloved risen Yeshua (Jesus). Following the resurrection, Yeshua appeared to Miryam in her inner vision, confirming she was an advanced disciple with the ability to “see” the multidimensionality of the Universe beyond the Earth realm. This vision also validates their unique relationship; he loved her the most, and she loved him with a devotion that transcends death. The Seven Guardians is a path to rediscovering the importance of Miryam in the ministry of Yeshua as a fully realized human and divine, as well as a leader of the Nazarenes. This is the way of the heart, a path for all humans to follow to become ihidaya, enlightened ones, while embodied in this lifetime. The Seven Guardians relies on scholars, theologians, and authors who translated The Gospel of Mary, found in the desert of Egypt and The Gospel of the Beloved Companion, The Complete Gospel of Mary. It also relies on other apocryphal gospels recently translated, The Gospel of Phillip, Thomas, The Pistis Sophia and others, to validate the information. In discovering how patriarchy has affected our world today, this book includes personal stories, mystical experiences, and direct communication with Infinite Love to help us recognize how balancing our masculine and feminine energies are of paramount importance for humanity and Earth to evolve and survive. It is now time for us to reunite the light of our Divine Mother and Divine Father into our hearts to awaken our own Christ consciousness.

Download or read book Anger written by Barbara H. Rosenwein and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2020-07-14 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tracing the story of anger from the Buddha to Twitter, Rosenwein provides a much-needed account of our changing and contradictory understandings of this emotion All of us think we know when we are angry, and we are sure we can recognize anger in others as well. But this is only superficially true. We see anger through lenses colored by what we know, experience, and learn. Barbara H. Rosenwein traces our many conflicting ideas about and expressions of anger, taking the story from the Buddha to our own time, from anger’s complete rejection to its warm reception. Rosenwein explores how anger has been characterized by gender and race, why it has been tied to violence and how that is often a false connection, how it has figured among the seven deadly sins and yet is considered a virtue, and how its interpretation, once largely the preserve of philosophers and theologians, has been gradually handed over to scientists—with very mixed results. Rosenwein shows that the history of anger can help us grapple with it today.

Download or read book Wrath written by Peter W. Wood and published by Encounter Books. This book was released on 2021-10-12 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anger now dominates American politics. It wasn’t always so. “Happy Days Are Here Again” was FDR’s campaign song in 1932. By contrast, candidate Kamala Harris’s 2020 campaign song was Mary J. Blige’s “Work That” (“Let ‘em get mad / They gonna hate anyway”). Both the left and right now summon anger as the main way to motivate their supporters. Post-election, both sides became even more indignant. The left accuses the right of “insurrection.” The right accuses the left of fraud. This is a book about how we got here—about how America changed from a nation that could be roused to anger but preferred self-control, to a nation permanently dialed to eleven. Peter W. Wood, an anthropologist, has rewritten his 2007 book, A Bee in the Mouth: Anger in America, which predicted the new era of political wrath. In his new book, he explains how American culture beginning in the 1950s made a performance art out of anger; how and why we brought anger into our music, movies, and personal lives; and how, having step by step relinquished our old inhibitions on feeling and expressing anger, we turned anger into a way of wielding political power. But the “angri-culture,” as he calls it, doesn’t promise happy days again. It promises revenge. And a crisis that could destroy our republic.

Download or read book Godly Love written by Matthew T. Lee and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2012-03-01 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Godly Love: Impediments and Possibilities examines the theory of “Godly Love,” understood as including a vertical axis denoting the love of God and a horizontal axis involving the love of others, is at the core of a new field of research that studies how divine love influences the love of others and vice-versa. It is a multi-disciplinary research program into the benevolent expressions of the Great Commandment of the Christian tradition involving the theological and social sciences. Theological and social scientific essays ask why there is not more Godly Love in this world and what might be done to change the situation. This book focuses on the problems confronting, challenging, prohibiting, and perhaps even resisting the concrete expression of Godly Love in the world, utilizing a range of theological and especially social scientific methodologies.

Download or read book Defying Deception written by Jonathan K. Corrado and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2024-02-29 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comprehensive training and well-established tactics are the trademark qualities of a solid and robust military training program designed to win wars. As a result, well-trained soldiers can think and act soundly while engaged in warfare. Like soldiers, Christians must similarly train to become prepared to make biblically-sound choices while engaged in spiritual warfare—specifically, deception. Deception, as clearly conveyed in the Bible, is Satan’s weapon of choice, therefore, if understood properly, can be thwarted effectively. Defying Deception: A Field Guide to Understanding and Countering Satan's Strategy of Deception is a book for those who want to raise their awareness of the enemy’s strategies and to mature their spiritual walk by offsetting the enemy’s deceptive methods with practical means. That said, this field guide establishes a parallel between Satan’s deceptive tactics and military Psychological Operations (PSYOP), operations to convey false information to influence emotions, motives, and reasoning because both seek to lead people into falsehood to influence decision-making in a destructive way. This field guide discusses Satan’s deceptive strategy within the context of PSYOP. Armed with this information, practical defensive strategies are developed using well-established, effective military tactics to assist readers in overcoming spiritual deception.

Download or read book Posthumanism and Latin x American Science Fiction written by Antonio Córdoba and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-11-23 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores how Latin American and Latinx creators have engaged science fiction to explore posthumanist thought. Contributors reflect on how Latin American and Latinx speculative art conceptualizes the operations of other, non-human forms of agency, and engages in environmentalist theory in ways that are estranging and open to new forms of species companionship. Essays cover literature, film, TV shows, and music, grouped in three sections: “Posthumanist Subjects” examines Latin(x) American iterations of some of the most common figurations of the posthuman, such as the cyborg and virtual environments and selves; “Slow Violence and Environmental Threats” understands that posthumanist meditations in the hemisphere take place in a material and cultural context shaped by the catastrophic destruction of the environment; the chapters in “Posthumanist Others” shows how the reimagination of the self and the world that posthumanism offers may be an opportunity to break the hold that oppressive systems have over the ways in which societies are constructed and governed.

Download or read book Homer on the Gods and Human Virtue written by Peter J. Ahrensdorf and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-09-22 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book seeks to restore Homer to his rightful place among the principal figures in the history of political and moral philosophy. Through this fresh and provocative analysis of the Iliad and the Odyssey, Peter J. Ahrensdorf examines Homer's understanding of the best life, the nature of the divine, and the nature of human excellence. According to Ahrensdorf, Homer teaches that human greatness eclipses that of the gods, that the contemplative and compassionate singer ultimately surpasses the heroic warrior in grandeur, and that it is the courageously questioning Achilles, not the loyal Hector or even the wily Odysseus, who comes closest to the humane wisdom of Homer himself. Thanks to Homer, two of the distinctive features of Greek civilization are its extraordinary celebration of human excellence, as can be seen in Greek athletics, sculpture, and nudity, and its singular questioning of the divine, as can be seen in Greek philosophy.
