Download or read book You Are What You Love written by James K. A. Smith and published by Brazos Press. This book was released on 2016-03-29 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You are what you love. But you might not love what you think. In this book, award-winning author James K. A. Smith shows that who and what we worship fundamentally shape our hearts. And while we desire to shape culture, we are not often aware of how culture shapes us. We might not realize the ways our hearts are being taught to love rival gods instead of the One for whom we were made. Smith helps readers recognize the formative power of culture and the transformative possibilities of Christian practices. He explains that worship is the "imagination station" that incubates our loves and longings so that our cultural endeavors are indexed toward God and his kingdom. This is why the church and worshiping in a local community of believers should be the hub and heart of Christian formation and discipleship. Following the publication of his influential work Desiring the Kingdom, Smith received numerous requests from pastors and leaders for a more accessible version of that book's content. No mere abridgment, this new book draws on years of Smith's popular presentations on the ideas in Desiring the Kingdom to offer a fresh, bottom-up rearticulation. The author creatively uses film, literature, and music illustrations to engage readers and includes new material on marriage, family, youth ministry, and faith and work. He also suggests individual and communal practices for shaping the Christian life.

Book excerpt: A novel full of heart, in which love, friendship, and charity teach a young woman to live a bigger life. When Madeline Stone walks away from Chicago and moves five hundred miles north to the coast of Lake Superior, in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, she isn't prepared for how much her life will change. Charged with caring for an aging family friend, Madeline finds herself in the middle of beautiful nowhere with Gladys and Arbutus, two octogenarian sisters-one sharp and stubborn, the other sweeter than sunshine. As Madeline begins to experience the ways of the small, tight-knit town, she is drawn into the lives and dramas of its residents. It's a place where times are tough and debts run deep, but friendship, community, and compassion run deeper. As the story hurtles along-featuring a lost child, a dashed love, a car accident, a wedding, a fire, and a romantic reunion-Gladys, Arbutus, and the rest of the town teach Madeline more about life, love, and goodwill than she's learned in a lifetime. A heartwarming novel, South of Superior explores the deep reward in caring for others, and shows how one who is poor in pocket can be rich in so many other ways, and how little it often takes to make someone happy.

Download or read book Amor Belli written by Giulio Celotto and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2022-03-09 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Compelled by the emperor Nero to commit suicide at age 25 after writing uncomplimentary poems, Latin poet Lucan nevertheless left behind a significant body of work, including the Bellum Civile (Civil War). Sometimes also called the Pharsalia, this epic describes the war between Julius Caesar and Pompey.Author Giulio Celotto provides an interpretation of this civil war based on the examination of an aspect completely neglected by previous scholarship: Lucan’s literary adaptation of the cosmological dialectic of Love and Strife. According to a reading that has found favor over the last three decades, the poem is an unconventional epic that does not conform to Aristotelian norms: Lucan composes a poem characterized by fragmentation and disorder, lacking a conventional teleology, and whose narrative flow is constantly delayed. Celotto’s study challenges this interpretation by illustrating how Lucan invokes imagery of cosmic dissolution, but without altogether obliterating epic norms. The poem transforms them from within, condemning the establishment of the Principate and the Julio-Claudian dynasty.

Download or read book Mis Pensamientos Mis Percepciones Mi Poesia written by Leslie R. Prime and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-11-27 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leslie Prime is a native of Detroit, Michigan. She has been writing for over thirty years and is thrilled to realize her dream of being a published poet come to fruition. Though writing was her first love, being a teacher of Spanish and English as a Second Language is her pride and joy. Her career path and study of culture and at least nine languages, has blessed her to travel, live, study, teach or work in Switzerland, Norway, Spain, Mexico, The Dominican Republic, Jamaica, The Cayman Islands, Colombia, Venezuela, The Bahamas, England, Germany and formerly East Germany, Morocco, The Canary Islands, France, Denmark, Belgium, Italy and Canada. She enjoys retreats in Sedona, Arizona a place of beauty and inspiration to her writing. Sedona is one of the most peaceful places she has come to know where she reflects upon society, her life, her family and her heritage. Though Detroit is where she grew up, she has been a resident of Washington, D.C., Brattleboro, Vermont and Miami, Florida. Through her writing, Leslie brings a unique thought and perception to her poetry. She not only has a global view of people and society, but is able to dissect and bring a microscopic awareness to the core of ones feelings, senses and environment. In her poetry, she often poses questions she asks of herself and her readers, as this offers a reflective component and a depth of insight for all to ponder over time. Leslies first poem, Looking out of My Window was written at the age of thirteen. Ever since that time, Leslie knew her writing would forever be a cornerstone for reflection, introspection and healing in her life. She is inspired daily by that which she is deeply moved and still longs for a simplistic life of long walks, reading, writing and daily siestas. For she feels that in todays digital age and the fast pace of American society, the true art of taking ones time and living a quality life suffers extinction. To all of her readers she encourages them to relax, read, reflect, ponder and enjoy her first book, Mis Pensamientos, Mis Percepciones y Mi Poesia - My Thoughts, My Perceptions and My Poetry.
