Download or read book Words Unspoken Things Unseen written by Joe Rodríguez and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-05-02 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A downtown homeless shelter, the Settlement, is targeted for demolition during the Great Recession. In its place, the city wants to build a sports complex. Reverend Stephen Bentham, the Settlement’s founder and director, draws on the loyalty of his assistant, the house physician, and a visiting archeology professor to save the hundred beds. A school-age boy also joins the effort. Fending off the bulldozers tests each character. Their own troubled histories compel them to help. One of the toughest challenges is burying the house physician when he succumbs during the fight. Loyalty to one’s faith or to progress or to honor itself are grand phrases. The actual work at a shelter is hard and tedious, like growing a garden out of concrete.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is far easier to hide behind the masks that we wear, to disguise ourselves behind what people see instead of allowing them to view what truly lies underneath. In Unseen: Volume 3 of The Undone Series, Brett Andrew Heard continues to remove his mask layer by layer, exposing the truth that lies within—the good, the bad, and the ugly. As we allow others to see our true selves that we have attempted to mask for so long, we open our hearts up for healing from our pasts and allow ourselves a chance to move forward in life as who we were created to be. Life is not always as simple as we would like it to be. Where we desire the roses and sunshine of hope and a future, we tend to get the storms and earthquakes of depression and pain. It is in this moment that Brett Andrew Heard shows us that it is okay to experience every emotion that occurs. Embracing life and its experiences allows us to show the world what truly is unseen.

Download or read book Odun written by Cristina Boscolo and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2009 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A poetic 'voice' scans the rhythm of academic research, telling of the encounter with odún; then the voice falls silent. What is then raised is the dust of a forgotten academic debate on the nature of theatre and drama, and the following divergent standpoints of critical discourses bent on empowering their own vision, and defining themselves, rather, as counterdiscourses. This, the first part of the book: a metacritical discourse, on the geopolitics (the inherent power imbalances) of academic writing and its effects on odún, the performances dedicated to the gods, ancestors, and heroes of Yorùbá history. But odún: where is it? and what is it? And the 'voice'? The many critical discourses have not really answered these questions. In effect, odún is many things. To enable the reader to see these, the study proceeds with an 'intermezzo' a frame of reference that sets odún, the festival, in its own historico-cultural ecoenvironment, identifying the strategies that inform the performance and constitute its aesthetic. It is a 'classical' yet, for odún, an innovative procedure. This interdisciplinary background equips the reader with the knowledge necessary to watch the performance, to witness its beauty, and to understand the 'half words' odún utters. And now the performance can begin. The 'voice' emerges one last time, to introduce the second section, which presents two case studies. The reader is led, day by day, through the celebrations -odún edì, Morèmi's story, and its realization in performance; then confrontation by the masks of the ancestors duing odún egúngún (particularly as held in Ibadan). The meaning of odún becomes clearer and clearer. Odún is poetry, dances, masks, food, prayer. It is play (eré) and belief (ìgbàgbó). It is interaction between the players (both performers and spectators). It is also politics and power. It contains secrets and sacrifices. It is a reality with its own dimension and, above all, as the quintessential site of knowledge, it possesses the power to transform. In short, it is a challenge - a challenge that the present book and its voices take up.

When a young photographer living in New York learns that her estranged father, a well-respected rabbi, has died, she can no longer run away from the truth, and soon sets out for the Orthodox Jewish community in London where she grew up. Back for the first time in years, Ronit can feel the disapproving eyes of the community. Especially those of her beloved cousin, Dovid, her father’s favorite student and now an admired rabbi himself, and Esti, who was once her only ally in youthful rebelliousness. Now Esti is married to Dovid, and Ronit is shocked by how different they both seem, and how much greater the gulf between them is. But when old flames reignite and the shocking truth about Ronit and Esti’s relationship is revealed, the past and present converge in this award-winning and critically acclaimed novel about the universality of love and faith, and the strength and sacrifice it takes to fight for what you believe in—even when it means disobedience.

Download or read book The Resonance of Unseen Things written by Susan Lepselter and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2016-03-03 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Resonance of Unseen Things offers an ethnographic meditation on the “uncanny” persistence and cultural freight of conspiracy theory. The project is a reading of conspiracy theory as an index of a certain strain of late 20th-century American despondency and malaise, especially as understood by people experiencing downward social mobility. Written by a cultural anthropologist with a literary background, this deeply interdisciplinary book focuses on the enduring American preoccupation with captivity in a rapidly transforming world. Captivity is a trope that appears in both ordinary and fantastic iterations here, and Susan Lepselter shows how multiple troubled histories—of race, class, gender, and power—become compressed into stories of uncanny memory. “We really don’t have anything like this in terms of a focused, sympathetic, open-minded ethnographic study of UFO experiencers. . . . The author’s semiotic approach to the paranormal is immensely productive, positive, and, above all, resonant with what actually happens in history.” —Jeffrey J. Kripal, J. Newton Rayzor Professor of Religion, Rice University “Lepselter relates a weave of intimate alien sensibilities in out-off-the-way places which are surprisingly, profoundly, close to home. Readers can expect to share her experience of contact with complex logics of feeling, and to do so in a contemporary America they may have thought they understood.” —Debbora Battaglia, Mount Holyoke College “An original and beautifully written study of contemporary American cultural poetics. . . . The book convincingly brings into relief the anxieties of those at the margins of American economic and civic life, their perceptions of state power, and the narrative continuities that bond them to histories of violence and expansion in the American West.” —Deirdre de la Cruz, University of Michigan
Download or read book UNSEEN THINGS written by Jean McBride and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2017-09-03 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is not an examination of the quality or quantity of your faith. It is an examination of the existence of your faith. There are only two responses to this examination of self. Yes, I am in the faith or no, I am not in the faith. If the answer is yes, then you got there by seeking the Lord. You did not pray for faith, you sought God and faith came. If the answer is no, you will not get in the faith by praying for faith. You will only get in the faith by seeking God. We will never get more faith by seeking more faith. When I began this Bible study, my goal was simple. I was in the faith but I really felt I needed more faith. What I really needed was to learn more about the faith I had. I learned that faith has the capacity to be in one accord with God. If we seek God and His ways, we will find that we have all the faith we need. The purpose of seeking God is so that we will know what we can be in accord with. The chapters in this book are based on the great faith chapter in the Bible, Hebrews 11.

Download or read book Death of a Spouse written by Erwin Parent and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2017-01-16 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each Chapter has a Summary to share thoughts on various subjects. This allows me to discuss thoughts of suicide, moving on with your life and handling other matters such as honoring your loved one and consideration of family members. I had the pleasure of being in a writers group with author Erwin Parent during the winter and spring of 2015. Every month I was more than eager to read segments of his book, Death of a Spouse-My Journey. After my first go-around, I knew to always have a box of tissue on hand for each chapter that we were to review. Early morning sobbing was not unusual as I went through the pages. Poignant, sweet, heart wrenching, biblical, magical as well as a teaching tool for those going through sorrow, Erwins memoir touched something deep inside of me. His beautiful rhythmic, rhyming poetry as well as his simple, clear writing style somehow touches the reader on a very sweet and tender level. I fell in love with not only his two precious wives, but also the gentle man telling the story. Erwin Parent is a wonderful example that no one is ever too old to make a difference. A must read for everyone, because we all will go through similar times at some point of our journey. Silver Pennee Bradstreet Lamb Self-Published Author
