Download or read book Grave on the Prairie written by Maureen J. Chicoine RSCJ and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2018-07-31 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saint Philippine Duchesne and four religious companions of the Society of the Sacred Heart of Jesus came from France to Louisiana in 1818 with the express desire of working among Native Americans to bring them knowledge of the love of Jesus Christ for them. After many years of educating the children of European settlers, Philippine finally realized her dream when she was sent to an encampment of the Potawatomi at Sugar Creek, Kansas. Her time among them was limited to one year; however, her sisters, the Religious of the Sacred Heart, continued to work among the Potawatomi for thirty-eight more years. This book is a carefully researched account of the life and work of these sisters among the Native Americans, the difficulties of adaptation of European women to frontier conditions, and the movement across Kansas with their people as the Potawatomi were pushed westward. Although the life of Saint Philippine has been studied extensively, until Maureen Chicoine undertook the research for this book, no complete account of the mission of the Society of the Sacred Heart to the Potawatomi existed. The book will shed light on a little known apostolic ministry of the Society in America in the nineteenth century.
Download or read book Womanspeak Voices from an Archaeology of Silence New and Collected Poems written by Carol Thomas Ph.D. and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2015-05-13 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book of poetry consists of new and collected poems, with an appendix that illustrates work I have done throughout the yearsoften when I was teaching creative writing or womens studies, and also when I was engaged in private practice with Shoreline Psychiatric Associates. The text represents a womans vision of her world, embodied, tactile, deeply sensuous, and erotic in the sense of being connected, wired to the universe. Before my recent retirement, I worked with multicultural and intriguing populations-women prisoners, drug court appointed adolescents, some of the 1 percent, and many of the 47 percent, as well as what some politicians would call a permanent underclass. A dual professional life in terms of both teaching and private practice has provided for me the richest, deepest learning environment one could hope for. The poems as well as the appendix attempt to illuminate and explicate the essence of womens engagement with herself, her relationships, and the world. The poems also explore her intelligences, epistemologies, theoriesher often quotidian delight as William Carlos Williams defines it. Womens experience echoes Whitmans expressions of his love of the natural world and his insistence on achieving a capacious imagination. My poems are feminist, in the way in which Virginia Woolf defined it in 1938, in her wickedly witty, antiwar, prowomen book, Three Guineas. Her use of the word was to suggest the egregious inequality between women and men. It is a brilliant treatise on the subconscious roots of patriarchy, and she observes that war is the plaything, constant and the deepest desire of men. Woolf had hoped the word feminist would become obsolete as equality, cooperation, and friendship would erase the term. In a volatile dispute discussed in her book as to whether women should be ordained into the English Anglican Church, its reigning body of officials brought in Professor Grensted, a well-known psychologist, to help in resolving the dissension and division. Ultimately, after much thought and study, Professor Grensted declared that there was no theological or intellectual reason that the women could not be ordained, but they should not be ordained due to the stress and agitation it would cause among the male clergy. In his conclusion, he noted that the real reason the women could not be admitted was mens infantile fixation against women, a fixation deeply unconscious and seemingly unchangeable, and an inseparable element of patriarchy. A woman was first ordained in the church in 2006, first female primate, in the Anglican community. Some contemporary religious traditions in America today continue with these issues. Currently, our nation, our earth is in crisisreferring to our perpetual wars, the depletion of the earth, and its millions of starving peoples all over the world. The poems in this book both critique our inability to accept truth and the natural world and the call to celebrate the gifts of womans livesmercy, insight, unequivocal generosity, keen sensibilities, new visions. Let us hope that 2015 ushers in and implements the values of each human, each species, every living creature, tree, rock, cloud, sun, sea as of infinite value.

Download or read book Everyday God written by Jeff Rathai and published by Inspiring Voices. This book was released on 2013-03-22 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author Jeff Rathai is a self-proclaimed skeptic and logical thinker who resisted Gods advances into his life for years. God had always been a distant, silent partnerto be feared and obeyed but certainly not loved. Personal tragedy drove Jeff even further away. When the supernatural reality of Holy Spirit began to intervene in his life, however, his eyes were opened to a whole new side of God. He suddenly saw questions and events from the past in a new light, and new paths began to open for him. The spiritual gifts available through Holy Spirit became an everyday reality, as Jeff frequently found himself in the middle of God-coordinated situations just ripe for the application of these newfound spiritual weapons. Everyday God focuses on Gods presence in all aspects of our everyday life. Jeff shares spiritual keys and weapons that each and every one of us has at our disposal to help us through our daily struggles, along with an honest look at his own spiritual struggles along the way. Above all, he encourages us to pursue our own personal relationship with God, or to take our current relationship to the next level with a very real, and sometimes humorous, God. If you have ever questioned Gods timing, decisions, or very existence, this book is for you!

Without diminishing the reality of pain and hardship, the stories show real people turning crisis into blessing by responding to adversity in ways that empower and heal.

Download or read book Miracle Hill written by Blackhorse Mitchell and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2004-09-01 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It was in the year of 1945 on a cold morning, the third day, in the month of March. A little boy was born as the wind blew against the hogan with bitter colds and the stars were disappearing into the heaven." So begins the story of Broneco, a Navajo boy who tells of his search for a miracle. Through that telling we learn a new perspective on language and life. In Miracle Hill, Blackhorse Mitchell presents the unforgettable account of a boy’s struggle to learn—which would be for him a miracle—in the face of handicaps most people would call insurmountable. Under the guidance of a teacher determined to help him pursue that miracle, he records his life from birth to the dawn of manhood: herding family sheep, living at a boarding school, encountering whites for the first time, journeying home, and finally enrolling in the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, where his talent was encouraged. Miracle Hill is written in a distinctively personal style, without strict adherence to orthodox grammar that would have robbed Mitchell of his true voice. Filled with unforgettable characters and brimming with insights into Navajo ways and family relationships, it is a book that crosses cultural barriers and speaks to the miracle-seeker in us all.
