Download or read book Metamorphoses written by Saad Ali and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2019-10-21 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Metamorphoses: Poetic Discourses is the 2nd book of poems by Saad Ali. It is a testimony to the quartet of the forces of love, hate, fear and courage as the begetter and annihilator of our existence and transformations. The poems are born as aficionados of the respective quartet. While reflecting upon why and how this quartet influences our being, the poems encourage us to embrace life with all her facets and live as even proactive actors of the dialectical phenomenon that metamorphosis is, for the manifestation of all, small and big, is an embodiment of some form of metamorphosis. This book of poems is an instance of sharing of Saad’s experiences of love, hate, fear and courage with everyone in the world. It is an invitation to a collective and individual contemplative odyssey. And an invitation to making a difference in our own and others’ lives as conscious beings.
Download or read book Life after Art written by Matt Appling and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2013-03-15 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You will be creating for the rest of your life. You might as well do it on purpose. Everyone was an artist, once. But somewhere between kindergarten and now, we lost the confidence to create. We’ve crumbled under the pressure to find our place in the “real, grown-up” world and now see the art room as a happy memory with no real value. Instead of approaching the world with childhood freedom and peace, we fear unmet ambitions. We fear that our lives have little meaning, purpose, or value. We fear that God has a plan for us, but we’re missing it. Yet if we travel back to our seats in the art room, art teacher Matt Appling reminds us of lessons we’ve forgotten, the joy of creating, and the freedom we had to succeed or fail. We can relearn these lessons and practice them to lead the contented, joy-filled, and productive lives that God created us to live.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We all want someone to think we’re sensational. We desire to be recognized, to be valued, to be respected. To be loved. Yet this natural yearning too often turns into an idol of one of God’s most precious gifts: love itself. If you, like so many of us, spend your time and energy trying to earn someone’s approval—at work, home, and church—all the while fearing that, at any moment, the facade will drop and everyone will see your hidden mess . . . then love may have become an idol in your life. In this poignant and hope-filled book, Jennifer Dukes Lee shares her own lifelong journey of learning to rely on the unconditional love of God. She gently invites us to make peace with our imperfections and to stop working overtime for a love that is already ours. Love Idol will help us dismantle what’s separating us from true connection with God and rediscover the astonishing joy of a life full of freedom in Christ.
Download or read book Making It Home written by Emily T. Wierenga and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2015-09-01 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For women who have grown up in the tension between third-wave feminism and Martha Stewart, it can be a struggle to define and embrace the meaning of home. There is constant pressure to do things a certain way, and sometimes intense criticism from those who think you're doing it wrong. But what if home isn't really about whether or not you homeschool or have a career? What if it's more about who you are than what you do? A self-proclaimed "former subversive," Emily T. Wierenga has learned the art of making a home and the joy of settling down. Emily takes readers on an unconventional journey through marriage, miscarriage, foster parenting, and the daily struggle of longing to be known, inviting them into a quest for identity in the midst of life's daily interruptions. Through soul-stirring writing, she helps women understand that homemaking is much more than old-fashioned tradition; rather, it's a timeless art requiring mind, body, and spirit.
Download or read book Not Who I Imagined written by Margot Starbuck and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2014-03-04 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From our earliest days we long for love and acceptance. First from our parents, then from peers, and eventually from romantic interests. We look into their faces, searching for a smile, a look that says, I love you exactly as you are. Don't change. We long for the same gracious acceptance from God. But despite the Christian gospel of unearned grace and unconditional love, too many of us feel as though we're still not quite good enough as we are. We can't believe that God accepts us. And often this is because those who represent God to us on earth--our parents, other Christians--have not looked upon us as we are with expressions of unrelenting love. With compassion and wit, Margot Starbuck asks the question, What if God receives me exactly as I am? She explores the unbounded love of God, showing readers a God whose face is open, kind, and gracious, accepting us as we are and freeing us from shame. Anyone who has ever felt as though they don't quite measure up will cherish this liberating message about God's abundant grace.
Download or read book Chasing Doctor Dolittle written by Con Slobodchikoff and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2012-11-27 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Slobodchikoff's ground-breaking research" (Jonathan Balcombe) shows us that animals have much to teach us about language Groundbreaking research has been done teaching animals human language, but what about the other way around? Studies have shown that lizards, squid, monkeys, and birds are talking to each other, communicating information about food, predators, squabbles, and petty jealousies. These animal languages are unique and highly adaptive. By exploring them, we come to appreciate the basis of our own languages; understanding or even "speaking" them allows us to get closer to the other species who inhabit this planet with us. The implications of animals having language are enormous. It has been one of the last bastions separating "us" from "them." Slobodchikoff's studies of the communication system of prairie dogs over twenty-five years have attracted a considerable amount of attention from the media, including a one-hour documentary on his work produced by BBC and Animal Planet. In Chasing Doctor Dolittle, he posits that the difference is one of degree, not the vast intellectual chasm that philosophers have talked about for millennia. Filled with meticulous research, vivid examples and daring conclusions, this book will challenge the reader's assumptions and open up new possibilities of understanding our fellow creatures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most people, at one time or another, have wondered about the End Times. When is this thing going to go down? What kind of crazy stuff can we expect before Christ returns? Do we need to rent some angel wings or know how to play the harp? But what if we have been asking the wrong questions all along? And, what if there was a question that could cut through all of the opinion and clutter and divisiveness of the End Times? In AND THEN THE END WILL COME! author and teacher Brandon Andress goes directly to the words of Jesus to pose an entirely different question Who are we becoming right now and who will we be if and when the world begins to come apart at the hinges? Combining his funny, charming, and heartfelt message with a knack for simplicity, you will ride a wave of emotions as Andress lays out the five things every follower (and potential follower) needs to know today about the End Times in order to make sense of an increasingly upside-down world. AND THEN THE END WILL COME! is for anyone who wants to reconnect to the larger story and narrative in which we live and breathe and who wants to rediscover the purpose for which we live today. This is the wake-up call every single person needs to hear!
Download or read book Leoneanthology Contemporary Short Stories and Poems from Sierra Leone written by Hallowell, Gbanabom and published by Sierra Leonean Writers Series. This book was released on 2016-03-29 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is acknowledged that creative writing, anywhere, remains a rather intensely personal affair, without being private. And indeed, it is because of the lack of privacy in creative writing that a nation should encourage the growth of its literary tradition. Writers do not just tell their stories or poets show their emotions; in their moods, they assume a multidimensional posture so as to be able to tell universally acceptable stories to appeal to different human senses. The contributors to this anthology are mostly first time writers, whose works have not appeared in mainstream literary journals and publications. While a few names among these contributors may be known in the local Sierra Leonean literary circles as having produced one kind of work or the other, their names are largely unknown outside of Sierra Leone. This situation has to change and is the reason that Leoneanthology has been compiled and published.
