Meanwhile Sethe’s house has long been troubled by the angry, destructive ghost of her baby, who died nameless and whose tombstone is engraved with a single word: Beloved.

Book excerpt: The founder and optimist-in-chief of Daily Possible, William Yelles has a miraculous story of spiritual communication. Grounded in universal truth, his messages of hope and healing inspire thousands on Facebook and around the world. This book contains everything he's received from a series of sacred encounters. Open to any page and be inspired. Embrace the magic and mystery of finding the perfect words you need to read in a particular moment. From the introduction: The first day God spoke to me was Yom Kippur, the holiest on the Jewish calendar. But unlike the religious Jews dressed up fasting and praying to Him all day, I was soaking up the sun in shorts and flip-flops, devouring a maple-glazed donut -- with bacon no less -- contemplating what movie to see at the mall that afternoon. Scrolling through showtimes on my phone, I began to feel a vague uneasy restlessness until it grew into a strong compulsion to head home and relax somehow. A few years earlier, I may have chalked it up to guilt. But I had given up formal religious practice some time ago, and had no repressed desire to suddenly change into a suit and tie and hustle off to synagogue. Once home, something inside me told me to pick up a pad of paper and pen, although I had no idea what for. Describing the indescribable is an inexact science. The best way I can think of is that I started feeling words. It was as if they were appearing inside me from somewhere rather than I was consciously creating them myself. I started writing, or more like transcribing. At times it felt as if I could barely keep up with the pace of the flow. I've since experienced this same phenomenon dozens of times. I have no real memory of receiving any of it. This book contains everything as I received it. Not a single word is altered. It is designed so you can open to any page and be inspired. Embrace the magic and mystery of finding the perfect words you need to read in a particular moment. As you read this book, know these words do not come from me but through me. Why me? For now, my answer is "Why not me?" That may sound flip. But what I mean is God created all and is inside us all. Nothing is impossible. He is ready and able to have a conversation with anyone at any time, to provide guidance and hope, ecstasy and abundance, miracles and wonders beyond what we can conceive. This is the God who you'll get to know in this book. The Great I Am, the same Presence who birthed trillions of stars and planets, and life itself. "I can do anything as I Am in everything." -- God Dare to dream. My imagination inspires you.Dare to explore. My courage directs you.Dare to love. My heart opens you.Dare to forgive. My mercy cleanses you.Dare to ask. My answers embolden you.Dare to create. My abundance rewards you.Dare to soar. My air lifts you. I Am the air.Dare to shine. My light energizes you. I Am the light.Dare to move. My path is clear for you. I Am The Way.Dare to lead. My wisdom is real for you. I Am the truth.Dare to live. My eternity is waiting for you.
Download or read book The Dearly Beloved written by Cara Wall and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2019-08-13 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This gentle, gorgeously written book may be one of my favorites ever.” —Jenna Bush Hager (A Today show “Read with Jenna” Book Club Selection!) This “moving portrait of love and friendship set against a backdrop of social change” (The New York Times Book Review, Editor’s Choice) traces two married couples whose lives become entangled when the husbands become copastors at a famed New York city congregation in the 1960s. Charles and Lily, James and Nan. They meet in Greenwich Village in 1963 when Charles and James are jointly hired to steward the historic Third Presbyterian Church through turbulent times. Their personal differences however, threaten to tear them apart. Charles is destined to succeed his father as an esteemed professor of history at Harvard, until an unorthodox lecture about faith leads him to ministry. How then, can he fall in love with Lily—fiercely intellectual, elegantly stern—after she tells him with certainty that she will never believe in God? And yet, how can he not? James, the youngest son in a hardscrabble Chicago family, spent much of his youth angry at his alcoholic father and avoiding his anxious mother. Nan grew up in Mississippi, the devout and beloved daughter of a minister and a debutante. James’s escape from his desperate circumstances leads him to Nan and, despite his skepticism of hope in all its forms, her gentle, constant faith changes the course of his life. In The Dearly Beloved, Cara wall reminds us of “the power of the novel in its simplest, richest form: bearing intimate witness to human beings grappling with their faith and falling in love,” (Entertainment Weekly, A-) as we follow these two couples through decades of love and friendship, jealousy and understanding, forgiveness and commitment. Against the backdrop of turbulent changes facing the city and the church’s congregation, Wall offers a poignant meditation on faith and reason, marriage and children, and the ways we find meaning in our lives. The Dearly Beloved is a gorgeous, wise, and provocative novel that is destined to become a classic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “[A] confident, mystical, expansive project.”—Publishers Weekly “[D]azzling and timeless . . . focus is so unwaveringly aimed toward the transcendent—not God, but the beloved—that we seem to slip into a less cluttered time.”—The Virginia Quarterly Review, “Editor’s Choice” "Mary Oliver calls him '...a Walt Whitman without an inch of Whitman's bunting or oratory.' In these pages, he is more nearly a modern-day Rumi. This is not primarily a poetry of image, but of ideas, perfectly distilled. Orr brings together the monumental themes of love and loss in small, spare, and exquisite koan-like poems."—ForeWord "...magnetic poems that open the world of lyrical verse to the larger questions of what is true and timeless." —The Bloomsbury Review Gregory Orr continues his acclaimed project on the “beloved” with a lyrical sequence about the joys and hungers of being fully engaged in life. Through concise, perfectly formed poems, he wakes us to the ecstatic possibilities of recognizing and risking love. Mary Oliver has called this project “gorgeous,” and said that he "speaks of the events that have no larger or more important rival in our lives—of our love and our loving." If to say it once And once only, then still To say: Yes. And say it complete, Say it as if the word Filled the whole moment With its absolute saying. Later for “but,” Later for “if.” Now Only the single syllable That is the beloved. That is the world. Gregory Orr is the author of ten books of poetry. He teaches at the University of Virginia and lives in Charlottesville.

Download or read book Concerning the Book that is the Body of the Beloved written by Gregory Orr and published by Copper Canyon Press. This book was released on 2012-12-18 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The heart of Orr’s poetry, now as ever, is the enigmatic image . . . mystical, carnal, reflective, wry.”—San Francisco Review This book-length sequence of ecstatic, visionary lyrics recalls Rumi in its search for the beloved and its passionate belief in the healing qualities of art and beauty. Concerning the Book that is the Body of the Beloved is an incantatory celebration of the “Book,” an imaginary and self-gathering anthology of all the lyrics—both poems and songs—ever written. Each poem highlights a distinct aspect of the human condition, and together the poems explore love, loss, restoration, the beauty of the world, the beauty of the beloved, and the mystery of poetry. The purpose and power of the Book is to help us live by reconnecting us to the world and to our emotional lives. I put the beloved In a wooden coffin. The fire ate his body; The flames devoured her. I put the beloved In a poem or song. Tucked it between Two pages of the Book. How bright the flames. All of me burning, All of me on fire And still whole. There is nothing quite like this book—an “active anthology” in the best sense—where individuals find the poems and songs that will sustain them. Or the poems find them. Gregory Orr is the author of eight books of poetry, four volumes of criticism, and a memoir. He has received numerous awards for his work, most recently the Academy Award in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Orr has taught at the University of Virginia since 1975 and was, for many years, the poetry editor of The Virginia Quarterly Review. He lives with his family in Charlottesville, Virginia.
