Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the Wing of a Dove is poetry written and illustrated by Kristian Brockmann, with a brief introduction explaining the background to the poems within. On a beautiful spring day in mid-October, he released two heavenly doves on the Balmain peninsula overlooking Sydney Harbour. This was mainly in recognition of Sri Lankan colleagues he had met through work as an Engineer. Colleagues both Sinhalese and Tamil were recent migrants to Australia, as are many Australians, and the doves symbolise the end of the civil confl ict in Sri Lanka in 2009. The poetry is much more than just a symbol of peace though. Dedicated to family and friends, part one was written in hospital recovering from a diffi cult illness. He recovered in 2008 in the Hunter Valley with family support. The second part of the poetry is compiled from various other times in his life. Each of the poems is illustrated with a photograph from places around Australia and from a holiday in Europe in 2004. Following his recovery, he worked in Sydney for several years before returning to the Hunter Valley where he currently resides, writing poetry in his spare time.

Download or read book The Expositions On The Psalms Volume 1 written by St. Augustine of Hippo and published by Jazzybee Verlag. This book was released on with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In any commentary on a portion of the Old Testament by a writer unacquainted with Hebrew, exact criticism, and freedom from mistake, must not be expected. But the Psalms have been so in the mouth and in the heart of God's people in all languages, that it has been necessary often to find an explanation suitable to imperfect translations. And no doubt it is intended that we should use such explanations for the purpose of edification, when we are unable to be more accurate, though in proving doctrine it is necessary always to remember and allow for any want of acquaintance with the original, or uncertainty with respect to its actual meaning. However, the main scope and bearing of the text is rarely affected by such points as vary in different translations, and the analogy of the faith is sufficient to prevent a Catholic mind from adopting any error in consequence of a text seeming to bear a heterodox meaning. Perhaps the errors of translation in the existing versions may have led the Fathers to adopt rules of interpretation ranging too far from the simple and literal; but having such translations, they could hardly use them otherwise. Meanwhile St. Augustin will be found to excel in the intense apprehension of those great truths which pervade the whole of Sacred Writ, and in the vivid and powerful exposition of what bears upon them. It is hardly possible to read his practical and forcible applications of Holy Scripture, without feeling those truths by the faith of which we ought to live brought home to the heart in a wonderful manner. His was a mind that strove earnestly to solve the great problems of human life, and after exhausting the resources, and discovering the emptiness, of erroneous systems, found truth and rest at last in Catholic Christianity, in the religion of the Bible as expounded by St. Ambrose. This is volume one out of two, covering the Psalms I through LXXIII.
Download or read book Henry James and the Art of Impressions written by John Scholar and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Henry James criticized the impressionism which was revolutionizing French painting and French fiction, and satirized the British aesthetic movement, which championed impressionist criticism. Yet time and again he used the word 'impression' to represent the most intense moments of consciousness of his characters, as well as the work of the literary artist. Henry James and the Art of Impressions argues that the literary art of the impression, as James practised it, places his work within the wider cultural history of impressionism. Henry James and the Art of Impressions offers an unprecedentedly detailed cultural and intellectual history of the impression. It draws on philosophy, psychology, literature, critical theory, intellectual influences and aesthetics to study James's early art criticism, literary criticism, travel writing, prefaces, and the three great novels of his major phase, The Ambassadors, The Wings of the Dove, and The Golden Bowl. It argues that the coherent philosophical meanings of the Jamesian impression emerge when they are comprehended as a family of related ideas about perception, imagination, and aesthetics - bound together by James's attempt to reconcile the novel's value as a mimetic form and its value as a transformative creative activity. Henry James and the Art of Impressions traces the development of the impression across a range of disciplines to show how James's use of the word owes them cultural and intellectual debt. It offers a more philosophical account of James to complement the more historicist work of recent decades.

Book excerpt: Bernie awakens to darkness and thinks hes dead. Theres no other explanation. He cant move or see; hes surrounded by nothingness. Hes dead, right? Yet as he reflects on his life, theres a rather gaping empty space where his death should be. He cant remember the circumstances of his untimely demise, which is when he realizes hes not dead at all. Hes in a state of coma, but he can hear voices around him. Hes alive, but he cant make contact with the living world. Only then does he again begin to reflect on his lifenot life but lives. His current existence, his current body, is one of many, beginning in the Spanish Inquisition when Bernie was executed for witchcraft. The touch of magic has followed him throughout his remaining lives. Loved ones are found and lost again, over decades and then centuries. Bernies consistent rebirth is due to his use of witchcraft to mess with preordained destiny. Hes utterly defenseless in his current state, but he must find a way to fight those who mean him harm. Otherwise, this will be his last incarnation, and it will not end well.

Download or read book Lessons from a Troubadour written by John Michael Talbot and published by Ave Maria Press. This book was released on 2018-09-21 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master singer-storyteller John Michael Talbot’s concert meditations—heard and appreciated by millions of concert-goers over the last half-century—are now available in this unique volume. This collection of parables and stories reveals Talbot’s mystical, monastic heart and gives him an opportunity to present the Christian faith in holy and ordinary language. As John Michael Talbot’s music became more popular over the years, he began to immerse himself in the teachings of the contemplatives, mystics, and monastic fathers and mothers of the Christian tradition. In time he began to share some of that teaching with his audiences between songs during concerts and during retreats, parish missions, and diocesan conventions. While on stage, this Grammy-winning contemporary Christian music pioneer is known as much for his stories between songs as he is for his playing and singing. Fans of Talbot—the founder and spiritual father of an integrated monastic community—will savor his wise reflections on the mystery of the Trinity, the intimate love of Jesus, the Sermon on the Mount as the heart of Christian teaching, and the need to find what he calls our own “inner room” for prayer and contemplation. Lessons from a Troubadour gathers this material into book form for the first time. Talbot’s words open an important window into understanding the Catholic faith. Both inspiring and practical, you’ll find ways to apply it to your daily life as well.
