Download or read book I Only Say This Because I Love You written by Deborah Tannen and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2002-05-28 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why does talk in families so often go in circles, leaving us tied up in knots? In this illuminating book, Deborah Tannen, the linguist and and bestselling author of You Just Don't Understand and many other books, reveals why talking to family members is so often painful and problematic even when we're all adults. Searching for signs of acceptance and belonging, we find signs of disapproval and rejection. Why do the seeds of family love so often yield a harvest of criticism and judgment? In I Only Say This Because I Love You, Tannen shows how important it is, in family talk, to learn to separate word meanings, or messages, from heart meanings, or metamessages —unstated but powerful meanings that come from the history of our relationships and the way things are said. Presenting real conversations from people's lives, Tannen reveals what is actually going on in family talk, including how family conversations must balance the longing for connection with the desire for control, as we struggle to be close without giving up our freedom. This eye-opening book explains why grown women so often feel criticized by their mothers; and why mothers feel they can't open their mouths around their grown daughters; why growing up male or female, or as an older or younger sibling, results in different experiences of family that persist throughout our lives; and much, much more. By helping us to understand and redefine family talk, Tannen provides the tools to improve relationships with family members of every age.

Download or read book I Shall Be Near to You written by Erin Lindsay McCabe and published by Crown. This book was released on 2014-01-28 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An extraordinary novel about a strong-willed woman who disguises herself as a man in order to fight beside her husband, inspired by the letters of a remarkable female soldier who fought in the Civil War. Rosetta doesn't want her new husband Jeremiah to enlist, but he joins up, hoping to make enough money that they'll be able to afford their own farm. When Jeremiah leaves, Rosetta decides her true place is by his side, no matter what that means, and to be with him, she follows him into war. With the army desperate for recruits, Rosetta has no trouble volunteering, although she faces an incredulous husband. Her strong will clashes with Jeremiah's, and their marriage is tested by broken conventions, constant danger, war, and the fear that Rosetta will be discovered. Rich with historical details and inspired by more than 250 documented accounts of the women who fought in the Civil War while disguised as men, I Shall Be Near To You is a courageous adventure, a woman's search for meaning and individuality, and a poignant story of enduring love. Praise for I Shall Be Near to You “Astounding.” —Glamour “Compellingly authentic.” —Elle “This fascinating historical novel is beautifully written and emotionally charged. Using a female soldier’s point of view for the narration makes McCabe’s story refreshingly unique.” —Romantic Times “McCabe has created a tough, realistic woman who is equally committed to being a good soldier and a good wife. I Shall Be Near to You is both a poignant love story and a gritty war experience, and is highly recommended.” —Historical Novels Review “A beautiful and powerful story that offers a rare perspective on those who fought in the Civil War…Following a pair of newlyweds, so brave and loving and committed, navigate the horrors of war is heart-wrenching. In her deceptively simple prose, McCabe has delivered an unforgettable, haunting and well-researched take on history that has a rightful place on bookshelves next to the most timeless and celebrated of sagas.” —Free Lance-Star “A gripping story, and McCabe's writing gives it considerable impact; I Shall Be Near to You is a memorable addition to the literature of the Civil War.” —San Jose Mercury News

Download or read book The New African Diaspora written by Isidore Okpewho and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2009-08-26 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times reports that since 1990 more Africans have voluntarily relocated to the United States and Canada than had been forcibly brought here before the slave trade ended in 1807. The key reason for these migrations has been the collapse of social, political, economic, and educational structures in their home countries, which has driven Africans to seek security and self-realization in the West. This lively and timely collection of essays takes a look at the new immigrant experience. It traces the immigrants' progress from expatriation to arrival and covers the successes as well as problems they have encountered as they establish their lives in a new country. The contributors, most immigrants themselves, use their firsthand experiences to add clarity, honesty, and sensitivity to their discussions of the new African diaspora.

Download or read book Expository Preaching in Africa written by Ezekiel A. Ajibade and published by HippoBooks. This book was released on 2021-06-30 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can expository preaching, rooted in a textual analysis of Scripture, be effectively utilized in oral cultures? In Expository Preaching in Africa, Ezekiel A. Ajibade engages this challenge directly, offering practical techniques for integrating African oral elements – such as myths, proverbs, folklore, dance, drama, poetry, and storytelling – into preaching that is both biblical and African. Alongside numerous examples and tools, Ajibade provides a rich overview of the nature of orality, the history and development of African preaching, and the reason biblical exposition must be central to gospel proclamation. He reminds us that it is the word of God, incarnated among us, that has the power to transform lives and revitalize nations. Contextualized expository preaching is not, therefore, one technique to be utilized among many; it is, rather, the heart of biblical teaching and the future of the African church. While contributing significantly to studies in contextualization and homiletics, this book is immediately applicable to practitioners, especially African preachers and those working in oral contexts.

Download or read book Images written by Claire Helen Siegal and published by Abbott Press. This book was released on 2013-08 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Claire Helen Siegal believed that the greatest evil in life was not to fulfill one's potential. Through the written word, a sensitive, intelligent, and acerbic voice emerges. In this autobiography--published posthumously by her executrix, Elaine Levitt--Claire's poetry, essays, and narrative text paint a portrait of its creator. Before she died, Claire began her quest for self-understanding through her writing. From her writings, a flesh-and-blood woman emerges. She blends her variegated images to produce a self-portrait that paints her as she was in life: a vulnerable, willful, innocent, cynical, and always unforgettable woman. An idealist, Claire yearned for the ideal, but faced reality's hard, metallic edge with determination. Hers was a biting-edge, sardonic wisdom, learned at the expense of innocence. Claire gave herself the moral mandate to put together this unconventional autobiography forcing you to see her importance, so her soul could have peace. She didn't want sympathy or compassion; she wanted affirmation of the life she lived, as if this could make it meaningful. Her life was a study in contrast; innocent and cynical by turns. Her persona is recognizable in all her writings. She was alone. G-d was not in her life. She was Jewish and proud of it, but she removed G-d from the equation on the basis of what the Holocaust did to her family. She questioned everything, letting nothing escape her notice. You will not soon forget her, or the images her life evokes.
