Download or read book Elders written by Ryan McIlvain and published by Hogarth Press. This book was released on 2013 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A glorious debut that T.C. Boyle calls "powerful and deeply moving" that follows two young Mormon missionaries in Brazil and their tense, peculiar friendship. Elder McLeod--outspoken, surly, a brash American--is nearing the end of his mission in Brazil. For nearly two years he has spent his days studying the Bible and the Book of Mormon, knocking on doors, teaching missionary lessons--"experimenting on the word." His new partner is Elder Passos, a devout, ambitious Brazilian who found salvation and solace in the church after his mother's early death. The two men are at first suspicious of each other, and their work together is frustrating, fruitless. That changes when a beautiful woman and her husband offer the missionaries a chance to be heard, to put all of their practice to good use, to test the mettle of their faith. But before they can bring the couple to baptism, they must confront their own long-held beliefs and doubts, and the simmering tensions at the heart of their friendship. A novel of unsparing honesty and beauty, Elders announces Ryan McIlvain as a writer of enormous talent.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sitting at the Feet of Our Elders: Flanner House Speaks is a project of the Writers' Center of Indiana and Flanner House Indianapolis and has been generously funded by Central Indiana Community Foundation's James Proctor Fund for Aged Men and Women, a fund of The Indianapolis Foundation, in Marion County. Our purpose in this project was simple...to remember. We gathered as many memories as we could from the Elders. We had many seniors who could not write, so we listened and wrote for them. We asked them at first to just remember anything - people, places, events, or times. After listing those snapshot memories, we then asked the seniors to take one memory talk about the entire scene and to tell it like they remember it happening and feeling. The book begins with examples of lines from their first exercise of completing the phrase, I Remember... As you read on, you will see those lines then developed into complete memoirs.
Download or read book Your Calling as an Elder written by Gary Straub and published by Chalice Press. This book was released on 2003-10-01 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New elders and veteran leaders alike will find wisdom, biblical guidance, and useful suggestions in Gary Straub's examination of the crucial role of elders in Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) congregations. This simple and easy to read overview of Disciples eldership examines the nature of the office and describes its responsibilities and challenges. It emphasizes the importance of spirituality in the lives of elders. Straub beckons elders to embark on their leadership adventure together, fortifying their leadership through prayer, learning, discussion, mutual accountability, and other paths to spiritual growth and encouragement. Their faithful eldership is a beacon for faithful congregations as elders' prayers become spiritual channels through which graces unfold in congregational life. That exciting prospect lies at the heart of eldership and of Straub's inspiring insights.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Etiquettes and Manners for Children & Adults In Sanatan Sanskriti (Hindu culture and tradition), teaching children’s etiquettes and manners is considered crucial for their holistic development and integration into society. Here are some key etiquettes and manners emphasized in Sanatan Sanskriti: Respect for Elders: Children are taught to greet elders with respect, such as by touching their feet or offering a respectful namaste (a gesture of greeting). Politeness and Humility: Emphasis is placed on using polite language and showing humility in interactions with others, regardless of their age or status. Purity and Cleanliness: Keeping oneself and one's surroundings clean is considered important for physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Table Manners: Children are taught how to eat with proper etiquette, including using utensils correctly, not talking with food in their mouth, and showing appreciation for the food served. Sharing and Generosity: Encouraging children to share with others and to be generous fosters a sense of compassion and community. Truthfulness: Teaching the value of speaking truthfully and honestly in all situations is emphasized to build trust and integrity. Self-Control: Instilling discipline and self-control in children helps them manage their behaviour and emotions appropriately. Gratitude: Teaching children to express gratitude for blessings, opportunities, and acts of kindness cultivates a positive outlook and humility. Respect for Nature: Instilling a reverence for nature and all living beings encourages environmental consciousness and a sense of interconnectedness. Spiritual Values: Depending on family beliefs, children may be taught specific spiritual practices such as prayers, meditation, or rituals that emphasize moral values and inner peace. These etiquettes and manners are not just rules to follow but are seen as fundamental principles that contribute to a child's character development, social integration, and spiritual growth in Sanatan Sanskriti.
