Book excerpt: TRUE STORIES OF ORDINARY PEOPLE GOING TO EXTRAORDINARY PLACES. Is it possible to spend time in a natural place like the Grand Canyon and walk away with the gift of a life-changing experience? In Unimagined Gifts, a seasoned Grand Canyon raft guide shares the stories of ordinary people who came to the Grand Canyon for an adventure vacation and found themselves accomplishing extraordinary feats, forever changing their awareness of what is possible. Charly Heavenrich transports you on a Grand Canyon adventure through the eyes of his former passengers, sharing compelling stories of what can happen when one travels to the edge and learns how to go beyond it. Youll meet a nearsighted boy disoriented without his glasses, a middle-aged woman on her first vacation, an English couple out of their element, and an Israeli lawyer on a journey towards self-discovery, among others. Youll be inspired by their attempts to break through self-imposed limitations, drawing strength from one of the most wondrous natural landscapes in the world. The compelling tales in Unimagined Gifts demonstrate that all who travel through the Grand Canyon will come out on the other side having learned more about themselves and their capabilities than they could have imagined.
Download or read book Unimaginable written by Deacon Francis G. King Ph.D. and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2023-07-17 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2010, God gave me the goal of my diaconate ministry: to bring peace and joy to all I meet. This book manifests the fruit of my submission to God’s will on joy. It describes how we can achieve joy through the soul’s three faculties: will to do good, mind to know the truth, and heart to love. The function of the will is to do good, and we desire goodness. When we are co-creators with God to make the world a better place for one person at a time to the best of our abilities, we are joyful in the will, and therefore, are joyful in living. The function of the mind is to know the truth. Since Christ is the Truth, to know God is to know joy: His blessings, righteousness, love, encouragement, perseverance, and faithfulness. Joy in the heart is based on the Law of the Gift of self. In a relationship we receive joy in the heart when we become one with another as in marriage when the two lovers become one. Since God loves us more than we can ever imagine, joy in the heart is to become with one God. He loves us so much that He wants us to be one with Him for all eternity in heaven. Joy is not merely happiness; rather, I contend that it is the realization of supreme happiness. Christ is the only true source of our joy. When we are one with Him and His mission to save souls, we receive joy in the will, mind, and heart. Joy is a choice, and not always an easy one; but as we reflect on it together, I hope it is a choice which you will take with me.

Book excerpt: Universities of the 21st century and beyond must be about teaching, learning, research excellence, creativity and innovation as much as they must be about enabling the destiny of students, communities and nations to realize their potential.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of W E B Du Bois written by Aldon D. Morris and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024 with total page 1049 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The wide-ranging work of W. E. B. Du Bois, critical to understanding the role that race has played in creating the modern world we find around us, mostly has been ignored or hidden from sociological researchers until after the civil rights movement in the U.S. As a result, one of the key goals of The Oxford Handbook of W. E. B. Du Bois is to reclaim Du Bois from those efforts to marginalize his thought. The chapters of this volume explore, in a comprehensive manner, all aspects of Du Boisian sociology. It is organized into ten thematic sections: Social Theory, Change and Agency; Sociology; Social Science, Humanities, Public Intellectual; Women and Gender Studies; Methodologies and Archival Resources; Black Interiority and Whiteness; Color Line, Empire, Marxism, and War; Talented Tenth, and Black Colleges and Universities; Black Community, Religion, Crime and Wealth; Internationalism, Pan-Africanism, and Anti-Colonialism.

About the Author Mary Bea Sullivan is a retreat leader, inspirational speaker, and spiritual companion. She lives in Northern Alabama with her husband, Malcolm, and children, Brendan and Kiki. She is also the author of Dancing Naked Under the Moon: Uncovering the Wisdom Within, a spiritual memoir. Praise for Living AWAKE "Mary Bea Sullivan is a wise guide because she--through her own experience--knows that being and becoming human is a craft which requires practice, like playing a musical instrument or learning how to paint. Here the reader will find a series of practices over a classic period of forty days which will heal the soul, refresh the mind and heart, and open up new pathways." --Alan Jones, Dean Emeritus of Grace Cathedral and Honorary Canon of Chartres Cathedral. "Living AWAKE is a treasure chest of insight, wisdom, and practice. This forty-day journey invites the reader to know herself with love, and to then lavish that love on others. In a day and age when a lot of spiritual pablum is in the marketplace, Mary Bea Sullivan serves up real food for body, mind and spirit, food that is like the bread of communion, giving bread so that the reader can offer bread." --Rev. Mary C. Earle, Days of Grace: Meditations and Practices for Living with Illness. "Living AWAKE is a wonderful manual for the spiritual seeker who thinks globally and is not afraid to move beyond the confines of his or her belief system. Using a combination of personal narrative and insights into the sacred traditions of the world's religions, Mary Bea offers practical exercises for everyday people whose hearts ache for something more. She writes as a seasoned mentor well familiar with the territory, inviting the uninitiated to take the first steps towards living awake because it is a journey she herself has taken." --Elizabeth-Anne Stewart, Ph.D, Jesus the Holy Fool "There is a deep hunger today to have a more intimate experience with the Divine. Living AWAKE is a great way to get started or to get back on your journey with the Divine. This meditative guide comes from the deep wisdom of both eastern and western spirituality, yet it is simple and short enough that it can realistically be done in the midst of our busy lives. And if you stick with it for forty days, you will have established a habit that becomes natural to you and you will be living more awake." --Rev. Bob Haden, Director of the Haden Institute
