Book excerpt: As we grow and develop in the Lord, sometimes we can lose sight of just how much our Abba Father loves us. Sometimes, the things we go through and life, in general, can make us question or doubt the depths of it. Abba really loves us. We do not earn it, nor can anything take it away from us; he loves us. We are his children and must understand that our Abba Father cares very much for his daughters, his little girls. We must embrace that love and grow in it. Now think about this, Calvary is where God's love was manifested in a greater way. He pushed love out at Calvary's cross; that is where it was birthed. Now, it's time to let that infancy of love grow into adulthood within us, maturing in that love, nurtured, fathered, and cared for by Abba's love. We must understand the value of his sacrifice and the value of that love; it's oh so precious. These poems are about a love relationship between Abba and his daughter, his little girl. As you read them, put yourself in her shoes, feel the love that flows between her God and his child, and know, just know that Abba really LOVES you.

Download or read book Abba s Baby Girl s Mind Transformation written by Tracy B. Jones Ross and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-11-07 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abba's Baby Girl's Mind Transformation: Series 1 was written after my first minor surgery for my double mastectomy, when my blood pressure dropped and I felt my life slowly leaving me. I grabbed my OES sister's hand and began to pray in tongues. After waking up from an emergency surgery to stop the bleeding, I felt different. I knew how it felt to die. This feeling caused me to feel an urgency to do what God created me to do instead of doing my own thing. During my recovery, Abba God had me all alone with him to instruct me on how to get back on His path. His Word transformed my thoughts during my trials and temptations, causing my emotions and desires to change to God's will and allowing me to make clear choices that would bring me life, instead of death. The paths of life and death are written in the Bible, which guides me back to the center of the cross to gain instructions for the battles I will have to face. Each battle causes an aftermath transformation, which will cause a new testing of my faith in God, with temptation and trials. It was up to me whether I walk on the path of Abba or on the path of my own fleshly desires. Abba gave me an equation to guide me on my journey: TTEDCBA, which means my temptation and trials, will affect my emotion and desires. The choices I make will cause a battle between my faith and my flesh. The results of each battle will have an aftermath transformation. After receiving the equation, I heard a small voice ask me, "Who is dying waiting on you to tell your testimony so they can overcome the path of death?" So I began to write Abba's Baby Girl's Mind Transformation. I pray that my story will help you avoid the pit of death by walking according to the cross compass of TTEDCBA.

Book excerpt: Are you struggling to accept God’s love? We’ve bought into the lie that we are worthy of God’s love only when our lives are going well. But when life begins to fall through the cracks and things become less-than-perfect, we scramble to present a good front to the world—and to God. God longs for us to deeply believe and know that He loves us and accepts us as we are. He calls for us to remove our mask and establish an honest and deep relationship with Him. When we are our true selves, we can finally claim our identity as His own—Abba’s child. Let go of the pressure of an impostor lifestyle and lean into the life-changing wonder of a truly loving relationship with God. Abba’s Child will light the way to freely accepting your belovedness and being renewed by the reassurance of our Father’s deep care for you—regardless of how perfect your life isn’t. “Honest. Genuine. Creative. God hungry. These words surface when I think of the writings of Brennan Manning. Read him for yourself—you’ll see what I mean!” —Max Lucado, New York Times bestselling author “I pray that Brennan Manning and the timeless voices . . . in this book might offer you hope. May they remind you that you are loved by the Father-Creator Himself. May they sing and speak into your life against the voices that tell you otherwise.” —Jon Foreman, lead singer of Switchfoot

Download or read book Abbas Kiarostami written by Mehrnaz Saeed-Vafa and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This penetrating study of the Iranian filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami's life and work engages a cross-cultural dialogue between Mehrnaz Saeed-Vafa, an Iranian filmmaker, and Jonathan Rosenbaum, a film critic, both of whom have an intense interest in Kiarostami's work. A pioneer in Iranian cinema and considered one of the most controversial and influential filmmakers alive, Kiarostami has written or directed more than twenty films. He gained notoriety in the West in the 1990s with the breakaway films Close-Up and Through the Olive Trees and became the first Iranian director to win the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival for Taste of Cherry. He is also largely credited for his contributions to the Iranian New Wave. Abbas Kiarostami is the first full-length, English-language study of his work. A unique and resplendent collaboration featuring two distinct but complementing perspectives, the book places Kiarostami and his films in a national context and provides American readers with valuable insights into Iranian culture, Kiarostami's portrayal of women and politics, and his influence on other filmmakers.

ABBAS Khwaja Ahmad Abbas is known as a journalist, film director, scriptwriter and novelist. A contemporary of Dr. Mulkraj Anand, he was also an ardent champion of the masses who chose such themes for his artistic creation that would further the formation of an egalitarian society.

The year 2013 is the centenary year of Indian Cinema while 2014 is the birth centenary year of Khwaja Ahmad Abbas. This book, therefore, attempts to foreground the contribution of K. A. Abbas who is an author of more than seventy books in English, a writer of the longest-running column of Indian journalism and a maker of such path-breaking films which may not have been box - office hits but were milestones of Indian cinema. The present book places Abbas in the perspective Vis-a-vis the realism canon and then attempts to disentangle the different strands that go to make up the whole, The inquiry is both factual and interpretive and it is hoped that it would do justice in directing our attention towards a great writer whom time has shrouded over.

Download or read book Abbas Kiarostami written by Monika Raesch and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2023-04-21 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cinephile community knows Abbas Kiarostami (1940–2016) as one of the most important filmmakers of the previous decades. This volume illustrates why the Iranian filmmaker achieved critical acclaim around the globe and details his many contributions to the art of filmmaking. Kiarostami began his illustrious career in his native Iran in the 1970s, although European and American audiences did not begin to take notice until he released his 1987 feature Where’s the Friend’s House? His films defy established conventions, placing audiences as active viewers who must make decisions about actions and characters while watching the narratives unfold. He asks viewers to question the genre construct (Close-Up) and challenges them to determine how to watch and imagine a narrative (Ten and Shirin). In recognition for his approach to the craft, Kiarostami was awarded many honors during his lifetime, including the top prize at the Cannes Film Festival in 1997 for Taste of Cherry. In Abbas Kiarostami: Interviews, editor Monika Raesch collects eighteen interviews (several translated into English for the first time), lectures, and other materials that span Kiarostami’s career in the film industry. In addition to exploring his expertise, the texts provide insight into his life philosophy. This volume offers a well-rounded picture of the filmmaker through his conversations with journalists, film scholars, critics, students, and audience members.

Download or read book Abbas Kiarostami s Cinema of Life written by Julian Rice and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-09-11 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Standing apart from celebrated Iranian ideals of war and martyrdom, revolutionary filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami was known as a man who praised life and celebrated it in all his works. Creating films for more than 40 years during times of unending war and political turmoil, Kiarostami promoted the Sufi tradition of seeing God as part of nature and the pre-Islamic Zoroastrian ideal of environmental protection. Kiarostami’s self-image as a citizen of the world, his renunciation of war, and his concern for the future of nature cement his importance within the art form of poetic cinema. Addressing Kiarostami’s illumination of humanity’s self-destructive tendencies, author Julian Rice presents a detailed analysis of twelve individual films, from Homework (1989) to Like Someone in Love (2012). Departing from concerns of spectatorship or film in general, Rice’s book portrays the human and spiritual core of Kiarostami. Connected to all other humans and to the earth we all inhabit, Kiarostami’s vision remains a powerful message for film scholars and peaceful people everywhere.

Download or read book Interpreters of Occupation written by Madeline Otis Campbell and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2016-05-02 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the Iraq War, thousands of young Baghdadis worked as interpreters for US troops, becoming the front line of the so-called War on Terror. Deployed by the military as linguistic as well as cultural interpreters—translating the “human terrain” of Iraq—members of this network urgently honed identification strategies amid suspicion from US forces, fellow Iraqis, and, not least of all, one another. In Interpreters of Occupation, Campbell traces the experiences of twelve individuals from their young adulthood as members of the last Ba’thist generation, to their work as interpreters, through their navigation of the US immigration pipeline, and finally to their resettlement in the United States. Throughout, Campbell considers how these men and women grappled with issues of belonging and betrayal, both on the battlefield in Iraq and in the US-based diaspora. A nuanced and richly detailed ethnography, Interpreters of Occupation gives voice to a generation of US allies through their diverse and vividly rendered life histories. In the face of what some considered a national betrayal in Iraq and their experiences of otherness within the United States, interpreters negotiate what it means to belong to a diasporic community in flux.
