Download or read book Leaving the Witness written by Amber Scorah and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-06-02 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A fascinating glimpse into the consciousness of being an outsider in every possible way, and what it takes to find your path into the life you'd like to lead."--Nylon A riveting memoir of losing faith and finding freedom while a covert missionary in one of the world's most restrictive countries. A third-generation Jehovah's Witness, Amber Scorah had devoted her life to sounding God's warning of impending Armageddon. She volunteered to take the message to China, where the preaching she did was illegal and could result in her expulsion or worse. Here, she had some distance from her community for the first time. Immersion in a foreign language and culture--and a whole new way of thinking--turned her world upside down, and eventually led her to lose all that she had been sure was true. As a proselytizer in Shanghai, using fake names and secret codes to evade the authorities' notice, Scorah discreetly looked for targets in public parks and stores. To support herself, she found work at a Chinese language learning podcast, hiding her real purpose from her coworkers. Now with a creative outlet, getting to know worldly people for the first time, she began to understand that there were other ways of seeing the world and living a fulfilling life. When one of these relationships became an "escape hatch," Scorah's loss of faith culminated in her own personal apocalypse, the only kind of ending possible for a Jehovah's Witness. Shunned by family and friends as an apostate, Scorah was alone in Shanghai and thrown into a world she had only known from the periphery--with no education or support system. A coming of age story of a woman already in her thirties, this unforgettable memoir examines what it's like to start one's life over again with an entirely new identity. It follows Scorah to New York City, where a personal tragedy forces her to look for new ways to find meaning in the absence of religion. With compelling, spare prose, Leaving the Witness traces the bittersweet process of starting over, when everything one's life was built around is gone.

Download or read book The Sky Is My Witness Illustrated Edition written by Captain Thomas Moore Jr. USMCR and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Includes the Second World War In The Pacific Illustration Pack – 152 maps, plans and photos. The vivid and colourful account of a Marine Divebomber’s personal experiences during the Pacific War, Captain Green fought at Midway, Guadalcanal and the New Hebrides. A heroic tale, humbly told from a Navy Cross winner no less. “In the main, this is the story of myself and others like me—all commissioned Marine pilots. But not all the people connected with flying planes are officers. Quite a number of our best pilots are enlisted men, and practically all those who make the pilot’s job at all possible —those who service the planes, patch them together again, see to it that everything still works and keeps working—these are enlisted men. Perhaps this isn’t orthodox, but it is my sincere belief that these constitute the substance to our shadow. Let’s put it this way—we officer pilots do a hell of a lot that people hear about— officer pilots being more or less the glamor boys—but the enlisted of aviation do one hell of a lot that very few people hear about. It is to these enlisted of aviation that I humbly dedicate this book.”-The Author.
Download or read book Be My Witness written by Ben Lee and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2018-08-01 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Be My Witness takes place in ancient Israel during the period of Jesus Christ's life and teaching. The Jews of Israel are fermenting an uprising against the Roman rule. The rebellious leaders of the Jews think Jesus was the Anointed One, the Messiah who would lead his people from under the thumb of Governor Pilate, relieve them of the burdensome taxation and the Roman Legions' harsh, unforgiving rule, and restore the Throne of David, bringing freedom and peace to all Judea. A young, crippled beggar witnesses the events leading up to the indictment and betrayal of Jesus Christ. Befriended by a wealthy Jew, Joseph of Arimathea trains him as a scribe to aid in his empire-wide business. Thomas the Cripple becomes Reuben ben Ezra and finds himself in a position to know Jesus, then becomes fearful for the Anointed One's life when Jesus refuses the leadership of the uprising to pursue spreading the message of peace and everlasting life promised by His Father, the One God. Could this lowly cripple and his benefactor possibly save Jesus from certain death of the cruel, debasing Roman crucifixion? "Ben Lee's book is well researched and beautifully written. But more than that, it gives the reader a look behind some of the more fascinating aspects of the Bible. You will want to read it as I did in one sitting." -Robert Vaughan. author, The Masada Scroll, and Armor of God.

Download or read book Samuel Beckett and the Theatre of the Witness written by Hannah Simpson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-06-09 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Samuel Beckett and the Theatre of the Witness explores Beckett's representation of physical pain in his theatre plays in the long aftermath of World War II, emphasising how the issues raised by this staging of pain speak directly to matters lying at the heart of his work: the affective power of the human body; the doubtful capacity of language as a means of communication; the aesthetic and ethical functioning of the theatre medium; and the vexed question of intersubjective empathy. Alongside the wartime and post-war plays of fellow Francophone writers Albert Camus, Eugène Ionesco, Pablo Picasso, and Marguerite Duras, this study resituates Beckett's early plays in a new conceptualising of le théâtre du témoin or a 'theatre of the witness'. These are plays concerned with the epistemological and ethical uncertainties of witnessing another's pain, rather than with the sufferer's own direct experience. They raise troubling questions about our capacity to comprehend and respond to another being's pain. Drawing on an interdisciplinary framework of extant criticism, recorded historical audience response, theatre and affect theory, and medical understandings of bodily pain, Hannah Simpson argues that these plays do not offer any easily negotiable encounter with physical suffering, pushing us to recognise the very 'otherness' of another being's pain, even as it invades our own affective sphere. In place of any comforting transcendence or redemption of endured pain, they offer a starkly sceptical, even pessimistic probing of what it is to witness another's suffering.
Download or read book Malignant Narcissism written by Cary Stacy Smith and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2021-03-01 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, a psychologist and a professor detail the history, psychology, and effects of this little-studied condition that has altered individuals and societies worldwide, arguing that the disorder deserves its own classification. Psychoanalyst Erich Fromm in 1964 developed the term "malignant narcissism," believing it to be the worst form of psychopathology, a disorder that essentially epitomized evil. Malignant narcissism, however, has never been identified as a clinical condition in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders; instead, it is seen as a conglomeration of several other disorders. Yet researchers since Fromm have described malignant narcissists as unique in their callous nature and proclivity to extreme violence, with a component of sadism bringing them pleasure when inflicting pain. The largest concern about malignant narcissists is that "some have the ability and wherewithal to rise to great positions of power and influence" and to affect large numbers of people. Authors Smith and Hung explain the differences between malignant narcissists, "everyday" narcissists, and psychopaths, illustrating these conditions with vignettes of historic public figures and people in popular culture, among others.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Never call them zombies. That was one of the rules. So much for rules, everyone who made up that garbage is either dead or undead. It doesn't matter anymore. They go by other names—chewers, eaters, maggot bags, the changed. Whatever they're called, they're everywhere. And they're not giving up until every last human becomes a single serving entrée to satiate their uncontrollable appetite.Enter shotgun-toting Ranger Martin who is determined to end the zombies' all-you-can-eat buffet. In an abandon military silo on the outskirts of the Nevada/Arizona border, he and his specialized team of assassins plan their assaults. Who's he kidding? His team consists of three kids in their teens, and a boy barely old enough to wipe his own nose. But when a secret air force base in the Mojave Desert proves there's more to the change than anyone knew, the temptation is too great. Now Ranger and the others set out on the road to overthrow the center of the infestation—a frantic race that will either destroy the hunger-prone zombies or cost him and his friends their lives.

Download or read book Abandoning the Black Hero written by John C. Charles and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2012-12-15 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abandoning the Black Hero is the first book to examine the postwar African American white-life novel—novels with white protagonists written by African Americans. These fascinating works have been understudied despite having been written by such defining figures in the tradition as Richard Wright, Zora Neale Hurston, James Baldwin, Ann Petry, and Chester Himes, as well as lesser known but formerly best-selling authors Willard Motley and Frank Yerby. John C. Charles argues that these fictions have been overlooked because they deviate from two critical suppositions: that black literature is always about black life and that when it represents whiteness, it must attack white supremacy. The authors are, however, quite sympathetic in the treatment of their white protagonists, which Charles contends should be read not as a failure of racial pride but instead as a strategy for claiming creative freedom, expansive moral authority, and critical agency. In an era when “Negro writers” were expected to protest, their sympathetic treatment of white suffering grants these authors a degree of racial privacy previously unavailable to them. White writers, after all, have the privilege of racial privacy because they are never pressured to write only about white life. Charles reveals that the freedom to abandon the “Negro problem” encouraged these authors to explore a range of new genres and themes, generating a strikingly diverse body of novels that significantly revise our understanding of mid-twentieth-century black writing.
