When a car accident causes her to hear a voice filled with love and longing, she embarks on a journey of discovering how different she really is. Even before she meets him in person, Grace is inexplicablybut irresistiblydrawn to Luke, a new guy in town who is somehow able to communicate with not only her thoughts but her heart. Just as she is recovering from the accident and getting to know Luke better, Graces parents reveal the real circumstances of her birth, causing Grace to question everything about her life. More revelations come to light when Luke explains that the two of them have been Tutelary Guides in previous lives. Tutelary Guides are given to some humans; some are good, while others are evil. Although Grace has always been a good guide, Luke has had to struggle to overcome his wicked nature. Despite their differences, Grace and Luke fell in love while assigned to the same human four hundred years ago. They were discovered and granted human liveslives in which they have reunited, only to be destroyed by Darcia, Lukes former leader. Reunited once again, this time against the dramatically beautiful landscape of Montana, Grace and Luke must work together to defeat Darcia and the forces she has sent to destroy them as part of her plan to take over the world. But can Luke stay strong enough not to revert to his former nature, and is their love solid enough to overcome evil?

Download or read book Life of Grace for the Whole World Adult book written by Jerry Cappel and published by Church Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2017-03-01 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As science and politics engage in a never-ending battle over the environment, A Life of Grace for the Whole World re-claims the theology of salvation and redemption for all creation. Using the House of Bishop's Pastoral Teaching on the Environment -- the first statement on the environment from The Episcopal Church leadership -- as a guide, A Life of Grace engages participants in understanding how the call to care for Creation informs and deepens appreciation and love for God and God's work in Creation, and how that finds expression in the faith life of individuals and churches. The adult sessions use Bible study, discussion questions, reflections on sections of the Book of Common Prayer, and other activities to encourage active learning. Each week participants are asked to reflect, in different ways, on their faith communities and their own spiritual journey and how they can find a more meaningful connection with God's active work among all creation. The youth section, which parallels the adult sessions, encourages active engagement through viewing of videos, use of technology, and a range of activities. Exploratory questions for the facilitator allow for open-ended conversation and discussion of current events around environment and faith. Connecting the five-week session is the creation of a Tree of Life, which is added to during every session. Both an Adult Booklet and a Youth Booklet enhance the experience of A Life of Grace, both within and outside of the sessions, with additional content, activities, and journaling space.
Download or read book Paths of Judgement written by Anne Douglas Sedgwick and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2021-05-18 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Paths of Judgement" by Anne Douglas Sedgwick is a romance novel about two women in love with the same man. Excerpt: "MRS. CUTHBERT MERRICK, erect in her shining dogcart, watched the stout pony's indolent advance with severity, but with forbearance. The road was steep and the day hot. Far below, the ascent began among beech-woods that climbed from gentle valleys; than came the pine-trees, casting blue-black shadows across the dusty road, and when the hill-top was reached the lighter shade of lime and birch and beech again dappled the sunny whiteness."
Download or read book Demonstrative Thought written by Felipe Nogueira de Carvalho and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2016-06-06 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can we explain our capacity to think about particulars in our external environment? Many philosophers have answered this question in terms of a sophisticated conception of space and time and the movement of objects therein. A more recent reaction against this view sought to explain this capacity solely in terms of perceptual mechanisms of object individuation. Neither explanation remains fully satisfactory. This book argues for a more desirable middle ground in terms of a pragmatist approach to demonstrative thought, where this capacity is explained through graded practical knowledge of objects. This view allows us to do justice to important insights put forward by both positions criticized in the book, while avoiding their potential shortcomings. It also paves the way to a more pragmatist approach to the theory of mental representation, where the notion of practical knowledge is allowed to play a central role in our cognitive life. Finally, it shows how practical knowledge may be firmly rooted in neurobiological processes and mechanisms that conform to what the empirical sciences tell us about the mind.
Download or read book Academic Freedom in the European Context written by Ivo De Gennaro and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-02-12 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the concept of academic freedom from a European vantage point. Drawing on both philosophical and legal perspectives, the editors and contributors analyse the concept of academic freedom within the present institutional setting. Academic freedom has long been considered a natural part of higher education, but as the world enters the digital age, a renewed understanding of its role and the threats it must face is required. The authors question the purpose of science without freedom, and subsequently the purpose of political communities without free science. Although the book uses European case studies to answer these questions, it undoubtedly has global relevance: what would be left of the present notion of the ‘global world’ were we to conceive of its character without modern science? This book calls for a critical re-examination of the academic community and its own understanding of the sources, conditions and aims of scientific practice.

Download or read book To Love Is to Listen written by Ray Schroeder and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2001-01-17 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God's love is shown when we listen with concern and understanding to another person, face to face. People long to feel that they are understood and valued by someone else. Jesus said His disciples would be known by this sign: that they love one another. God is calling the people of the church today to go into the community and listen-to visit in people's homes and at their workplaces and show the love of God in person. This book will show you how to do that, and in the process you will grow in your faith and understanding of what it means to live the Christian life.

Download or read book The Complete Personal Essays of Robert Louis Stevenson written by Trenton B. Olsen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-05-19 with total page 535 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For all of Robert Louis Stevenson’s achievements in fiction, many of his contemporaries thought of him primarily as an essayist. His essays, known for their intellectual substance, emotional force, and stylistic vitality, were widely considered the best of their time. Despite the importance of Stevenson’s nonfiction, his personal essays—70 in total—have never been printed together in a single volume until now. Stevenson’s essays explore a range of topics from illness and evolution to marriage and dreams, and from literal and literary travel to the behavior of children and the character of dogs. Grappling with many of the cultural, ethical, and existential questions of his age, he resists dogma to draw fresh conclusions. Stevenson examines beggars and university students, immigrants and engineers, invalids and nurses, outlining his own colorful life story and unique approach to "the art of living" along the way. Whereas the most common and widely available versions of these texts were modified after Stevenson’s death, this volume gathers his personal essays, many of which have never appeared in any modern edition, in their authorized versions. These essays are still considered classic models of the form, and in this volume, the Editor presents them alongside an introduction and notes to assist in a rereading and reappreciation that is long overdue.

Book excerpt: Years before Ann Landers and Dear Abby, there was Pegge Parker, a 21-year-old high school graduate who began writing a daily advice column for teenagers in the Harrisburg Telegraph (Pennsylvania) in the 1940s. She named her column ¿Teen Topics and invited her teen readers to send her their problems. In these selected columns, you¿ll discover the quandaries that helped to shape the Greatest Generation¿and realize not much has changed.As Pegge¿s columns grew in popularity, she was invited to prestigious events at West Point Academy, New York¿s elite gatherings, and even the Indian Embassy. She mingled with Generals and royalty, movie stars and music legends¿all of which became daily entries in her column. Pegge skillfully and tactfully handled such dilemmas as grammar, dating, etiquette, grooming, travel tips, cooking and more. With no formal writing education, but a definite flair with the pen, Pegge furthered her career as a reporter in Washington, D.C., and Fairbanks, Alaska, and then moved ahead as a foreign correspondent in China, India, and South and Central America. She is the author of Diapers on a Dateline, detailing her time in India, juggling a demanding career, a new husband and five children in a foreign land. She also wrote Alias Pegge Parker, the story of an adventurous young woman who forged an exciting and successful career in the male-dominated field of foreign correspondence. With her husband, John Hlavacek, she coauthored Freelancing in Paradise covering their years living and working as freelance journalists in the Caribbean.
Download or read book Edge of the Light Healing through my Seven Divine Powers written by ,Diddle-Lee-Anne and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-02-09 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing up on a farm in Kentucky, I know the meaning of a "hard day's work." As the sun was setting, we could hear Mom ringing the dinner bell. With a country meal on the table, Dad began to say the blessings. Believing life was simple, I had no idea of the turmoil ahead of me. After high school, I soon married, and my life changed forever as the beatings began. And within a few years, we had two little girls. I turned to the church for help, but they told me to turn the other cheek. My family could not help me financially. With no one to turn to, I fell into the darkness. So I filed for a divorce. One day, the girls' father took them for a weekend visit but ended up kidnapping them for three years! I prayed every day for my children's safety. Finding my girls was by the grace of God. We suffer with an emotional handicap, but because of our strong faith in God, we all now have wonderful lives. And I hope my book will touch many lives, covering issues such as bullying, human trafficking, women's rights, and spousal abuse to name a few. Writing Edge of the Light has given me a chance to continue to heal. Each chapter is inspired by one of the seven divine powers. The edge is a most divine place to be, it is structured by the hand of God. There you will be comforted and healed. Never lose hope, for the darkness is short-lived, but the Light shines forever. I can now ring my bell of freedom!
