Over the years I have come to define those who touch our souls as heroes, mentors or friends, but in reality, I believe they are spiritual guides sent to us by a higher power.

Heartwarming stories of courage, small acts of kindness and most of all, love, will bring a better understanding of the power they derive from our Source. Come share the miracle of synchronicity. Trust in the flow of Gods love as shown by these messengers of hope. You may discover that you too are making a difference in someones life as a Hero, Mentor or Friend.

Download or read book Think No Evil written by C. Fred Alford and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-10-18 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this investigation of the contemporary notion of evil, C. Fred Alford asks what we can learn about this concept, and about ourselves, by examining a society where it is unknown—where language contains no word that equates to the English term "evil." Does such a society look upon human nature more benignly? Do its members view the world through rose-colored glasses? Korea offers a fascinating starting point, and Alford begins his search for answers there.In conversations with hundreds of Koreans from diverse religions and walks of life—students, politicians, teachers, Buddhist monks, Confucian scholars, Catholic priests, housewives, psychiatrists, and farmers—Alford found remarkable agreement about the nonexistence of evil. Koreans regard evil not as a moral category but as an intellectual one, the result of erroneous Western thinking. For them, evil results from the creation of dualisms, oppositions between people and ideas.Alford's interviews often led to discussions about imported ways of thinking and the impact of globalization upon society at large. In particular, he was struck by how Koreans' responses to globalization matched Westerners' views about evil. In much of the world, he argues, globalization is the ultimate dualism—attractive for the enlightenment and freedom it brings, terrifying for the great social and personal upheaval it can cause.

Download or read book Being Available and Reachable written by Mbeanwoah Tazanu and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2012-06-27 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book investigates what have become of Cameroonian transnational family and friendship ties in the age of the mobile phone and the internet that make people readily available and reachable. Most theoretical literature states that these tools of sociality cement transnational social relationships through instantaneous interaction. To capture the different experiences and impressions on the significance of these media in easing communication for migrants and non-migrants, Tazanu draws on ethnographic accounts based on his fieldwork in Freiburg (Germany) and Buea (Cameroon). He argues that it is mainly the migrants who maintain or are expected to maintain ties with non-migrants back in Cameroon through calls and material support. The main finding of the study is that cell phones and the internet have facilitated discontents, grudges, insults, fights, avoidance, arguments and estrangement of relationships much more than they have contributed to binding friends or families through direct mediation. Underlying these aspects of distanciation are the high expectations and sometimes contradictory motives for instant virtual interaction. Non-migrants accounts suggest that direct availability and reachability should lead to uninterrupted transnational interaction and also that the cultural practices of remittances from migrants are easily requested and coordinated. Such motives are generally contrary to migrants wishes, willingness or ability to support friends and families in Cameroon. These unexpected outcomes arising from rapid speed of interaction questions the advantages that are often associated with instant sociality across space and time. The finding is a call for the cultural background and life-world experiences of media users to be taken into consideration when theorising the significance of information technology in the debate on media globalisation.

Download or read book You Were Listening written by Patricia Maack Walsh and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2013-06 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do we really know that God listens and then indeed answers our prayers? This question persists in our dark world filled with tragedy and illness. Even among the community of faith the question looms. When and how one prays is as diverse as those praying. Crisis is the most compelling reason most of us pray. However, daily communication with the Lord in the little concerns is the direction my prayer life has moved. God's answers are as varied; some "yes," "no," "maybe," and some "wait." As wife, mother, grandmother, friend, and believer I have experienced a myriad of opportunities to cry out to God in prayer. Likewise, I have "heard" all forms of answers. I have also chatted with Him while singing in the shower with no crisis at all and no need for an answer. Most of the stories I tell are my own experiences. A few of the stories are significant episodes in the lives of close friends that are retold with their permission. I share these testimonies to encourage anyone pondering the question, "God, do you listen?"

Download or read book Resurrecting Fledgling written by Jack Weitzel, with Michael Weitzel RT, Lisa Weitzel RN CRM and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-04-06 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Weitzel's novels have always provided interesting insights into the nuances of human nature, both good and evil. Resurrecting Fledging, the Sequel continues this exploration in his unique style. Often flawed but earnest, down-to-earth heroes take the reader on an emotional roller-coaster ride as they pursue a mass murderer. The satisfying conclusion of their pursuit recalls Proverbs 4:23 (New Living Translation), "Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life." --Dr. Bill Barry Here is a remarkable story, sad at times but just as exciting. The story quickly gets the reader involved, easy to read yet difficult to forget. The main conflict is intelligently solved in an unexpected twist at the very end. It's a story of a Veterans Hospital struggling to remain relevant in the 2040s as Vietnam veterans are dying out and the hospital involved in tragedy upon tragedy fearing for its continued existence. Enjoy a story of conflict of faith and suspense in the setting of multiple cases of attempted manslaughter in an aging Veterans Hospital. --Dr. Ken Weitzel Set against the backdrop of two rural hospitals, one a vibrant and still growing model for twenty-first-century medical care and teaching, the other an understaffed and underfunded holdover of a failed health system, Jack Weitzel's sequel to Resurrecting Fledgling examines the medical, emotional, and spiritual crises that entwine the lives of his characters. Following the threads of a perplexing medical mystery with a surgeon's insights, Dr. Weitzel offers detailed glimpses into human physiology and surgical procedures while revealing spiritual and emotional choices that ultimately draw his characters together or tragically push them apart. Part procedural, part medical mystery, and part reflection on spiritual consequences, the book's continuation of the Lazarus Project story offers new and intensely personal perspectives on healing, on faith, and on the choices we all must make on our paths to accepting God's love. --Tom Gale
