Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many people are unaware of how influential Mormons have been on American popular culture. This book parts the curtain and looks behind the scenes at the little-known but important influence Mormons have had on popular culture in the United States and beyond. Mormons and Popular Culture: The Global Influence of an American Phenomenon provides an unprecedented, comprehensive treatment of Mormons and popular culture. Authored by a Mormon studies librarian and author of numerous writings regarding Mormon folklore, culture, and history, this book provides students, scholars, and interested readers with an introduction and wide-ranging overview of the topic that can serve as a key reference book on the topic. The work contains fascinating coverage on the most influential Mormon actors, musicians, fashion designers, writers, artists, media personalities, and athletes. Some topics—such as the Mormon influence at Disney, and how Mormon inventors have assisted in transforming American popular culture through the inventions of television, stereophonic sound, video games, and computer-generated animation—represent largely unknown information. The broad overview of Mormons and American popular culture offered can be used as a launching pad for further investigation; researchers will find the references within the book's well-documented chapters helpful.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a work of love by a very loving person who is providing several Bible references and explaining you must put on the whole armor of God. Also, it is a work of love for her fellow man and woman; it tells God's love and direction in life and various subjects which are very controversial, being absolutely honest and forthright and hoping to keep the subject grounded with the Word of God. Bottom line: how we survive the happenings of things to us in life is by always keeping God's word for our direction in life. This book is also about the natural order of judgment and how women and men should respect the order of living of their lives as God intended them as to natural order. God always clears the way for us, and in general, this book has a lot of direction from our heavenly Father and contains miracles and blessings from God. It's about love and prayer to God. Also, this book explains how to pray to God, our Father in heaven. It explains how our souls were created before the foundation of the earth. This book speaks of heaven and the author's opinion of some of heaven; it also contains the beauty of Christianity. May the Holy Spirit swoop down on you like a great eagle and reach you within your soul when you read this book.
Download or read book The Whole Wide World written by Robin Amiri and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2022-07-12 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leila was a young mother. A vibrant, passionate, and beautiful woman, she enjoyed a full, busy life and adored her young daughter. But slowly, her physical health declined. At first ignored and then misdiagnosed by medical professionals, she found herself on a debilitating journey toward increasing pain and worsening illness. Through everything, from cruel and callous caregivers to miraculous angels who saved her life multiple times, from spending the last year of her life being moved from one hospital to another, she never gave up her desire to be a loving mother to her daughter. She spent as much of her energy and remaining lifetime providing her little girl a strong, nurturing base from which to grow and live her own life. In The Whole Wide World, author Robin Amiri offers a true story of her daughter to help those who find themselves in similar circumstances, battling a serious and debilitating illness and the bureaucracy and red tape of the medical field, insurance industry, and governmental assistance. It’s an exhortation to anyone in this situation to advocate on their own behalf, and on behalf of loved ones. It’s a recommendation to face the truth of medical realities while also bringing love and hopefulness into those realities. This biography is about love, commitment, honesty, and truth. About recognizing what’s most important. And about hope, loss, grief, devotion and, ultimately, life.

Download or read book Just like a Flower to Grow Needs Sun written by Chris Nelson and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2024-02-05 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Love and Life: How People Describe Them Everybody Wants them, But What Are They?) Reminds me of a song by the band. Foreigner: “I Want to Know What Love Is!” which is sung by numerous artists, so compelling is the message, that it captures our hearts and imaginations. From a life of heartache and pain, the protagonist doggedly continues on his search for love, hence the title of the song: “I Want to Know What Love Is!” Clearly the protagonist has never had any rewarding experience of love, that is our first inference. Second, we hope that he has NOT put the rest of his life “on hold”, while he waits for love to drop into his lap. Third, we get the impression that he is labouring under some sort of a handicap, or that he is trying too hard! Have you ever heard this said about love? “Love is like a butterfly, the more you chase it the more it eludes you. But if you quietly turn your attention to other things, it comes and alights softly on your shoulder!” The first part of the statement is definitely true. The second part, “whether it will come and sit softly on your shoulder at some point” - will depend on the handicaps/circumstances of your life. One thing is for sure: turning your attention to other things, if they are worthwhile, will make you grow and mature as a person. Never a truer statement than this: “Happiness is making a bouquet out of those flowers within reach”. However you define “flowers”, perhaps something creative that brings happiness to you as well as others - could that also be seen as a form of happiness??!!!
