Book excerpt: With a foreword by Jane Goodall, this moving memoir follows a successful journalist and filmmaker who felt like something was missing in her life as she finds her purpose in advocacy for the Asian elephants in her childhood home town of Kerala, India. "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated." - Mahatma Gandhi Elephants are self-aware, conscious beings. They can feel and grieve the loss of both elephants and humans. But despite all empathy that elephants shower on humans, we continue to inflict pain and suffering on these caring, sentient beings. In 2013 Sangita Iyer visited her childhood home of Kerala, India. Over 700 Asian elephants live in Kerala, owned by individuals and temples that force them to perform in lengthy, crowded, noisy festivals, abusing and shackling these animals they claim to revere for tourists and money. When Sangita found herself in the presence of these divine creatures and witnessed their suffering first hand, she felt a deep connection to their pain. She too had been shackled and broken for too long-to her patriarchal upbringing in India, to the many "me too" moments in her work life that were swept under the rug, to the silence. Now she would speak out for the elephants and for herself. And she would heal alongside them. This sparked the creation of her award winning documentary of the same name and a new purpose in this life for both Sangita and the elephants.

Download or read book Breaking Free From the Shackles of Witchcraft written by Sweda Whyte Crawford and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2024-01-24 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Breaking Free from the Shackles of Witchcraft is a powerful and dynamic book for everyone or anyone who has been held captive by this wicked and evil principality named witchcraft. The Bible is clear; it is God's desires to see all of us live and operate out of good health and prosper even as our souls prosper in Him (see 3 John 2). And this book offers powerful spiritual warfare knowledge and insights that are taken from the Word of God and guided by the Holy Spirit to help you live a healthy, happy, and successful life, free from the shackles of witchcraft, in Jesus' mighty name. Friends, witchcraft can only be overpowered through the powerful Word of God and an obedient life in Him. Keep reading this book to learn exactly how I became free from the shackles of witchcraft that had caused severe and prolonged sleeplessness for several years of my life. Many, including believers, have turned to the harmful temporary remedy of drugs and other forms of self-help medications while others--like myself in the past--have gone to the enemy, Satan himself, ignorantly for help. It is only the truth that will set the captives free in the mighty name of Jesus the Christ (John 8:32). Therefore, Breaking Free from the Shackles of Witchcraft is a must-read book as it speaks the absolute truth about the author's attacks, captivity, and victorious deliverance through the Word of God.

Book excerpt: “My name is Courtney. I’m an accidental feminist.” Although many Christians wouldn’t identify themselves as feminists, the reality is that the feminist movement has influenced us all in profound ways.

In this book, Courtney Reissig—a wife, mom, and successful writer—recounts her journey out of “accidental feminism,” offering wise counsel for Christian women related to relationships, body image, and more—drawing from the Bible rather than culture. Whether you’re a committed feminist, a staunch traditionalist, or somewhere in between, this book will help you answer the question, “What does it mean to be a Christian woman?” You’ll discover the joy, purpose and importance that are found in God’s good design.

Download or read book The Discord of Gods written by Jenn Lyons and published by Tor Books. This book was released on 2022-04-26 with total page 746 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Discord of Gods marks the epic conclusion to Jenn Lyons's Chorus of Dragons series, closing out the saga that began with The Ruin of Kings, for fans of Brandon Sanderson and Patrick Rothfuss. THEIR CONFLICT COULD END THEM ALL. Relos Var's final plans to enslave the universe are on the cusp of fruition. He believes there's only one being in existence that might be able to stop him: the demon Xaltorath. As these two masterminds circle each other, neither is paying attention to the third player on the board, Kihrin. Unfortunately, keeping himself classified in the 'pawn' category means Kihrin must pretend to be everything the prophecies threatened he'd become: the destroyer of all, the sun eater, a mindless, remorseless plague upon the land. It also means finding an excuse to not destroy the people he loves (or any of the remaining Immortals) without arousing suspicion. Kihrin's goals are complicated by the fact that not all of his 'act' is one. His intentions may be sincere, but he's still being forced to grapple with the aftereffects of the corrupted magic ritual that twisted both him and the dragons. Worse, he's now tied to a body that is the literal avatar of a star — a form that is becoming increasingly, catastrophically unstable. All of which means he's running out of time. After all, some stars fade — but others explode. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Book excerpt: WHAT IS GOD?S RELIGION? Nila Sagadevan's new book Warpaint of the Gods asks provocatively: Does God have a religion? If He does, what is it? If He does not?why do we humans have so many? An incredibly powerful message of the underlying unity of all world religions, this book aims to introduce a voice of reason to the paradox of religious bloodshed that pervades the world today. It undertakes a ruthless examination of religion's role in the brutal internecine conflict that has ruled the Earth, and concludes that human beings are so preoccupied with their own ethnocentricity (religious and ethnic) that they are blind to the horrors they are inflicting on one another. Equally important, this blinkered view of humanity has prevented us seeing the real picture?that life exists not only on the microscopic speck of cosmic dust we call Earth, but in the distant realms of the Universe, too. This vast celestial ocean renders our genocidal affinities all the more ridiculous,
