Download or read book The Gift of Forgiveness written by Firozia Wandis Slattery and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2015-10-08 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wake up! Know who you are. Open your heart to all the love, harmony, and beauty of your real self. Find your purpose in life. We all have a purpose that we alone can fulfill, yet many do not know what their purpose is, or if they do know, how to make it become a reality. When we realize who we are we get a new perspective of ourselves and what we are all about. This growing realization will make a great difference in our lives and the way we live them. When we are small children we learn from the way we are taught, and that is who we think we are, but it is only the false ego that we have begun to create from what we have received and which we believe is our true self. If we are fortunate, we come to realize that we are much more than what we have been taught. This realization enables the beginning of a new life, one with greater fulfillment, purpose, and meaning. This book is about you, how you think, how you perceive the world, and how you communicate with others. Let us open our hearts to a new awakening, to the beauty of the magnificent being that dwells within in these temples we call bodies. Let us realize the potential of beautiful souls fashioned by the Creator of all. I started reading your book and found it very touching . I recommend The Gift of Forgiveness with its wise counsel from one who has walked her talk. Taj Inayat

Book excerpt: Winner of the 2010 Penguin Prize for African Writing. In this coming-of-age novel, acclaimed author Ellen Banda-Aaku offers a profound exploration into the effects of stigma, class, and family dynamics in 1970s Zambia. Pumpkin is a nine-year-old girl pulled between two vastly different worlds – that of her father, the wealthy and power-hungry Joseph Sakavungo, and her mother, his unstable mistress. As Pumpkin attempts to come to terms with her own identity, she struggles to fashion a future for herself out of the torn patchwork of her parents' lives. Beautifully constructed, Banda-Aaku has crafted a story that is in equal parts uplifting and bittersweet.

Download or read book A New Grammar of Dyirbal written by R. M. W. Dixon and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-10-27 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: R. M. W. Dixon's landmark 1972 grammar of the Dyirbal language of North Queensland is one of the best-known and most widely-cited language descriptions in the history of linguistics. In the fifty years since its publication, Dixon has continued his detailed work on the language, extending and refining the descriptions in light of more recent theoretical advances. The resulting A New Grammar of Dyirbal offers a comprehensive contemporary grammar of the language, reanalysed in myriad ways and drawing on an extensive corpus of texts. Among its many new features are further discussion of the applicative/causative derivation; a fresh focus on the role of the pervasive 'pivot', the syntactic linking of S and O functions; a detailed account of the two antipassives and their semantic contrast and phonological conditioning; and an extended account of relative clauses. The volume is accompanied by a companion website hosting the full set of textual data on which the grammar is based, as well as a thesaurus/dictionary of nouns, adjectives, and verbs across ten dialects of Dyirbal.
