Book excerpt: A warm and witty saga about agribusiness, environmental activism, and community—from the celebrated author of The Book of Form and Emptiness and A Tale for the Time Being Yumi Fuller hasn’t set foot in her hometown of Liberty Falls, Idaho—heart of the potato-farming industry—since she ran away at age fifteen. Twenty-five years later, the prodigal daughter returns to confront her dying parents, her best friend, and her conflicted past, and finds herself caught up in an altogether new drama. The post-millennial farming community has been invaded by Agribusiness forces at war with a posse of activists, the Seeds of Resistance, who travel the country in a camping car, “The Spudnick,” biofueled by pilfered McDonald’s french-fry oil. Following her widely hailed, award-winning debut novel, My Year of Meats, Ruth Ozeki returns here to deliver a quirky cast of characters and a wickedly humorous appreciation of the foibles of corporate life, globalization, political resistance, youth culture, and aging baby boomers. All Over Creation tells a celebratory tale of the beauty of seeds, roots, and growth—and the capacity for renewal that resides within us all.
Download or read book The Great Passion written by James Runcie and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2022-03-15 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From acclaimed bestselling author James Runcie, a meditation on grief and music, told through the story of Bach's writing of the St. Matthew Passion. In 1727, Stefan Silbermann is a grief-stricken thirteen-year-old, struggling with the death of his mother and his removal to a school in distant Leipzig. Despite his father's insistence that he try not to think of his mother too much, Stefan is haunted by her absence, and, to make matters worse, he's bullied by his new classmates. But when the school's cantor, Johann Sebastian Bach, takes notice of his new pupil's beautiful singing voice and draws him from the choir to be a soloist, Stefan's life is permanently changed. Over the course of the next several months, and under Bach's careful tutelage, Stefan's musical skill progresses, and he is allowed to work as a copyist for Bach's many musical works. But mainly, drawn into Bach's family life and away from the cruelty in the dorms and the lonely hours of his mourning, Stefan begins to feel at home. When another tragedy strikes, this time in the Bach family, Stefan bears witness to the depths of grief, the horrors of death, the solace of religion, and the beauty that can spring from even the most profound losses. Joyous, revelatory, and deeply moving, The Great Passion is an imaginative tour de force that tells the story of what it was like to sing, play, and hear Bach's music for the very first time.

Download or read book The Art of Creation written by Jesse Krieger and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-15 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Art of Creation is the Process of Turning Your Ideas into Reality Right now you have within you the power and potential to create whatever you want in life. Yes, anything! That doesn't necessarily mean that you have the materials, the experience or the willpower to see the art of creation through to completion, but you do have the power and the potential. How powerful would it be to become conscious of the process that results in your life as you experience it now? Wouldn't it be empowering to have the tools to consciously create all the time and in all areas? What will you create next? Whether that means building a business, traveling the world, writing a book or mastering a language, The Art of Creation guides you through the process of dreaming big and making it real. In Part 1 you will learn The Hierarchy of Creation Energy to align your thoughts, emotions and actions to become a master creator. This is all about understanding the non-physical dimensions of life that influence all that we think, feel and do. These are the dimensions of Consciousness, Spirit and Soul. Your level of consciousness determines your worldview and outlook on life, your connection to spirit determines how much of life's energy is available to you at any given time, and embodying your soul allows your unique gifts to be shared with the world. From there, we'll explore the physical dimensions of life which are the mental, emotional and physical planes of existence. The mental plane is the realm of the mind, which governs the thoughts we think and logical problem solving. The emotional plane are the feelings in our bodies and the intuitive guidance they provide. The physical plane is where our actions play out, which determines how others experience us. Aligning your life with The Hierarchy of Creation Energy empowers you to live authentically and let your light shine for all the world to see. In Part 2 you'll be introduced to The Vision-MAP Creative Palette, which is the toolbox that turns your ideas into reality. You'll learn how to create a compelling vision for the life you want to live and all that is in it, then craft a MAP to achieve it. MAP stands for Mission, Action & Product and this is the tactical process of moving from where you are now to where you want to be. Whereas your vision is personal and is is limited only by your imagination, the mission you define is meant to make a difference in the lives of others. Your mission is what drives your actions and coordinates the energies and efforts of others around a common purpose. Finally the end product is the outcome you create, the real-world results that move you step-by-step towards actualizing the vision you hold. The Art of Creation is your guide to consciously create the life of your dreams. May you be inspired and empowered to realize your full potential and live a life that will leave a legacy!

Download or read book The Great Passion written by Eberhard Busch and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2010-10-04 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Widely regarded as the twentieth century s greatest theologian, Karth Barth refocused the task of Christian theology and demonstrated its relevance to every domain of human life, from the spiritual to the social to the political. It is precisely the broad sweep of Barth s theology that makes a book like The Great Passion of such great value a succinct yet comprehensive introduction to Barth s entire theological program. Of the many people who write on the life and thought of Karl Barth, Eberhard Busch is uniquely placed. A world-renowned expert on Barth s theology, he also served as Barth s personal assistant from 1965 to 1968. As Busch explains, one cannot fully understand Barth the theologian apart from understanding Barth the man. In this book he weaves doctrine and biography into a superb presentation of Barth s complete work. Busch s purpose in this introduction is to guide readers through the main themes of the multivolume Church Dogmatics against the horizon of our own times and problems. In ten sections Busch clearly explains Barth s views on all of the major subject areas of systematic theology: the nature of revelation, Israel and Christology, the Trinity and the doctrine of predestination, the problem of religion, gospel and law, creation, salvation, the Holy Spirit, ecclesiology, and eschatology. A distinctive feature of the book is the way Busch lets Barth speak for himself, often through surprising quotations and paraphrases. Busch also shows how Barth s writing should be read as a dialogue, constantly and consciously engaging other voices past and present, both inside and outside the church. Most important, The Great Passion demonstrates that Barth s thought is still remarkably helpful today.

Download or read book The Catholic Passion written by David Scott and published by Loyola Press. This book was released on 2010-06 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Catholic faith is not a set of rules or a body of doctrines, but is a way of life, writes David Scott. It's a lived faith that contains convincing, intellectually coherent, and spiritually fulfilling answers to the biggest questions: Who is God? Who is Jesus? Why are we here? Where are we going? The Catholic Passion invites readers into a conversation about the things that matter most. It is not an argument for the Catholic faith but a journey to the heart of it—a richly rewarding reflection on prayer, the Bible, sacraments, the church, and God-made-human in Jesus Christ. Scott does not tell the story of the faith through church documents or catechism quotations. Instead, he looks at the faith experience of real Catholics—people like the American writer Andre Dubus, the French composer Olivier Messiaen, the Chinese human rights activist Henry Wu, the French martyr Charles de Foucauld, and the American reformer Dorothy Day. These and other Catholics embody a faith that warms the heart as it enlightens the mind. One theme emerges from Scott's reflections on the lives of Catholics and the Scriptures: God's passion of love for humankind burns on in the Catholic Church. The Catholic passion is the conviction that there is nothing God will not do to win our love. "The Catholic Passion is a monumental work. David Scott weaves material from scripture, history, the arts, the liturgy, theology, spirituality, and personal reflection, showing us that nothing human is alien to Christ—and nothing divine is withheld from God's people." —Scott Hahn, author of The Lamb's Supper "The Catholic Passion is a masterwork—beautiful, compelling, and wonderfully readable; an outstanding portrait of what Catholics believe and why. I highly recommend it." —Charles J. Chaput, OFM Cap, archbishop of Denver "David Scott helps us see a vibrant Catholicism that offers brilliant meaning in a world darkened by materialism and violence. He presents a vision that allows the treasures of the past to envision an orthodox Catholicism for the future." —Fr. Mitch Pacwa, SJ, EWTN

Download or read book The Purpose for the Passion written by Lawrence Grott and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2019-04-16 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever asked yourself why God created marriage with its biblical definition? Growing up, I've just accepted the fact it's a natural part of life for most adults. Through a combination of communication and observation over the years, I've learned it's a preferential environment to raise children. Coming from a Catholic background prior to getting saved, I was taught that you needed to get married to have sex and it not be a sin. Being saved, I obviously still agree with these things. However, being in agreement with something doesn't tell me why it's the way it is. Is there a deeper meaning to our day-to-day view of marriage? The answer to that question is a resounding yes! This question put me on the path of discovery through the study of scripture. Finding the Gospel of Christ tucked away within biblical marriages and noticing the specific roles given to husbands and wives are revelatory concerning the relationship between Jesus and the church. The biblical marriages we read about in our Bibles speak to every aspect of Christ. You'll be surprised to discover modern Christian marriages speak of Christ the same way. This book isn't a counselor's guide to teach you how to walk out your marriage. Although I'm not married, I desire to and will be one day. It's a revelation of our husband, Jesus Christ, from a perspective we normally don't have. That we realize our Christian marriages are prophetic of Christ's Second Coming and marriage to the church and take our responsibilities more seriously. This book is for the single person as much as it's for those who are already married because we're all Christ's bride. By reading this book, I'm positive it'll have a profound effect on your life and walk with Jesus Christ!

Download or read book Passion Before Me My Fate Behind written by Th. Emil Homerin and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2011-12-01 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Umar Ibn al-Fāriḍ (1181–1235), author of two classic works, the Wine Ode and the Poem of the Sufi Way, is considered the greatest Sufi poet to write in Arabic. In this study, these and other poems by Ibn al-Fāriḍ are considered within the context of Islamic mysticism, Arabic literature, and Sufi poetry. Th. Emil Homerin uncovers the literary and religious intent of these poems and their aesthetic and mystical content, showing them to be a type of meditative poetry. Indeed, Ibn al-Fāriḍ often alludes to the Sufi practice of "recollection," or meditation on God, to evoke a view of existence in which the seeker may be transformed by an epiphany of love revealing an intimate relationship to the divine beloved. Homerin provides elegant translations and close readings of Ibn al-Fāriḍ's poetry, highlighting the beauty of his verse, its moods, meanings, and significance within Islamic mysticism and Arabic poetry, where Ibn al-Fāriḍ is still known as the "Sultan of the Lovers."
