Download or read book A Pilgrim in Chinese Culture written by Judith A. Berling and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Judith Berling tells how she became immersed in the issues of religious diversity, of her experiences living with "religious neighbors", and of discovering how different from her own Midwestern Protestant milieu is the world of Chinese religion and culture. In China, one can be Buddhist, Confucianist, Taoist, and animist at a single moment. Exploring how this inclusivity can be achieved infuses A Pilgrim in Chinese Culture. The multiplicity of deities, and notion of Truth as having many embodiments, even patterns of hospitality - Berling examines how these key aspects of Chinese culture shape and inform religion in China. Through the tales it tells, A Pilgrim in Chinese Culture offers readers insights that no textbook can match, bringing home what religious diversity means in surprising and illuminating ways.

Download or read book Pilgrim at Tinker Creek written by Annie Dillard and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Pulitzer Prize “The book is a form of meditation, written with headlong urgency, about seeing. . . . There is an ambition about her book that I like. . . . It is the ambition to feel.” — Eudora Welty, New York Times Book Review Pilgrim at Tinker Creek is the story of a dramatic year in Virginia's Roanoke Valley, where Annie Dillard set out to chronicle incidents of "beauty tangled in a rapture with violence." Dillard's personal narrative highlights one year's exploration on foot in the Virginia region through which Tinker Creek runs. In the summer, she stalks muskrats in the creek and contemplates wave mechanics; in the fall, she watches a monarch butterfly migration and dreams of Arctic caribou. She tries to con a coot; she collects pond water and examines it under a microscope. She unties a snake skin, witnesses a flood, and plays King of the Meadow with a field of grasshoppers. The result is an exhilarating tale of nature and its seasons.

Download or read book On the Edge of Infinity written by Clemens Cavallin and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2019-03-25 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells the story of Michael O'Brien, one of the most popular Catholic novelists and painters of our times. It covers his life from his childhood in the Canadian Arctic to the crucial decision in 1976 to devote himself wholly to Christian sacred arts, followed by his inspiration to write fiction and his best-selling apocalyptic novel, Father Elijah. The story then continues to the present with explorations of O'Brien's other works. O'Brien's life is one of struggle against all odds to reestablish Christian culture in the materialist void created by the modern Western world. It is a timely reminder of hope in trials and sufferings, of endurance during marginalization and poverty. This is the first biography of O'Brien, and it also provides an introduction to his novels, paintings, and essays. The author, Clemens Cavallin, was granted unrestricted access to Michael O'Brien's personal archive, including his diary from the late 1970s until the present day. By revealing sides of O'Brien's interior creative life--including mystical experiences, spiritual battles, and illuminations—he has painted a portrait of a contemporary visual and literary artist whose inspiration arises from an intense fusion of imagination and active faith.
Download or read book The Pilgrim Papers written by Milton F. Sanders and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-08-26 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Milton F. Sanders was born January 24, 1933 in Detroit Michigan, of a Russian immigrant father and a German/American mother. The birth was one month premature and he weighted a whopping 2 and pounds. After 2 weeks in an incubator, he was taken home and placed in his first crib, a top drawer of the bedroom bureau. Three years later he and his older brother and sister lost their parents and were placed in foster homes. Milton spent the next 15 years in 12 different foster homes. After graduating from high school and earning a scholarship to Michigan State University, he was only able to secure finances for one year, and spent the next 25 years working in a variety of sales jobs. He was married 3 times. He has 5 children and one step child. Milton met his third wife Christina in 1973 and they moved from Los Angeles to the Montana/Idaho area where he took a job working as a miner. For 3 years he worked 5,000 feet under ground in the Galina silver mine at Wallace Idaho. Latter he and Christina purchased a local locksmith business, which he made his career for the next 18 years, retiring as Master Locksmith and housing security specialist for The Evergreen State College at Olympia Washington, in 1998. He and his wife chose to spend their final years living in southern Mexico, near the City of Oaxaca. His beloved wife, of 33 years, Christina passed away in 2006 and 7 months later he was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of bladder cancer. After major surgery and 6 months of Chemo-therapy, he is cancer free. He now lives alone in a beautiful country setting surrounded by 100 tropical fruit trees in a 3 bedroom Bungalow on a walled in property. For transportation he has a small Chevy car and a Yamaha motor scooter to get around on for quick trips to the store. For company he has two dogs and a cat. In the tranquil atmosphere of this little bit of paradise he has decided to write essays dealing with what he feels are important spiritual topics that have been his quest for more than five decades.

Download or read book THE GOSPEL OF JOHN Original Version Volume II written by translated by James David Audlin and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-02 with total page 648 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The only narrative about Jesus by eyewitnesses, this is also one of the world's greatest literary works. The unfinished text was spirited off to Sinope when the author was sent into exile. Even there the hand of Rome nearly destroyed it. Rescued 35 years later, the author's spiritual heirs published it. While in Sinope some pages got lost or disordered. After publication various editors changed the manuscript repeatedly to suit the changing doctrines of early Christianity, even adding spurious new material. Thus the standard text is an inspiring mess, but still a mess. This translation restores not the unfinished original text, but the masterpiece the author sought to compose: a first-hand account of a real man sent to urge humanity to accept God's will, set down before doctrine repackaged him as an incarnate deity. Volume One contains the carefully restored text and a history of the gospel. Volume Two includes commentaries that burnish this masterpiece for the modern reader.
