Through her personal stories, she provides practical ideas of how to bring comfort to those who are hurting.

Infused in every page are hope-filled words of God’s faithfulness, including the sending of one redbird when her family needed it the most.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Songs of Memory and Hope The lights are low, the stars their vigil keep. Sweet is the stillness; the long day is o'er, The children sleep. Safe is the fold; sure here no ill can find, Nor danger haunt thy pillow, oh, mine own! And yet, dear God, from nests as tender lined The birds have flown. My heart is brooding with an anxious fear, They are so young, so tender, and alone. 0 Thou, to whom of Old the lambs were dear, Make mine Thine own!

Download or read book Cries of Joy Songs of Sorrow written by Marc L. Moskowitz and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2009-11-24 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the mid-1990s, Taiwan’s unique brand of Mandopop (Mandarin Chinese–language pop music) has dictated the musical tastes of the mainland and the rest of Chinese-speaking Asia. Cries of Joy, Songs of Sorrow explores Mandopop’s surprisingly complex cultural implications in Taiwan and the PRC, where it has established new gender roles, created a vocabulary to express individualism, and introduced transnational culture to a country that had closed its doors to the world for twenty years. In his early chapters, Marc L. Moskowitz provides the historical background necessary to understand the contemporary Mandopop scene, beginning with the birth of Chinese popular music in the East Asian jazz Mecca of 1920s Shanghai. A brief overview of alternative musical genres in the PRC such as Beijing rock and revolutionary opera is included. The section concludes with a look at the manner in which Taiwan’s musical ethos has influenced the mainland’s music industry and how Mandopop has brought Western music and cultural values to the PRC. This leads to a discussion of Taiwan pop’s exceptional hybridity, beginning with foreign influences during the colonial period under the Dutch and Japanese and continuing with the country’s political, cultural, and economic alliance with the U.S. Moskowitz addresses the resulting wealth of transnational musical influences from the rest of East Asia and the U.S. and Taiwan pop’s appeal to audiences in both the PRC and Taiwan. In doing so, he explores how Mandopop’s "songs of sorrow," with their ubiquitous themes of loneliness and isolation, engage a range of emotional expression that resonates strongly in the PRC. Later chapters examine the construction of male and female identities in Mandopop and look at the widespread condemnation of the genre by critics. Drawing on analyses and data from earlier chapters (including interviews with dozens of performers, song writers, and lay people in Taipei and Shanghai), Moskowitz attempts to answer the question: Why, if the music is as bad as some assert, is it so central to the lives of the largest population in the world? To answer, he highlights Mandopop’s important contribution as a poetic lament that simultaneously embraces and protests modern life. Cries of Joy, Songs of Sorrow is a highly readable introduction to an important but understudied East Asian phenomenon. It will find a ready audience among scholars and students of Chinese and Taiwanese popular culture as well as musicologists studying transnational music flows and non-Western popular music.

Book excerpt: People everywhere are facing difficult situations and they need to know how to cope with the frustration and other overwhelming emotions that accompany any uncertain situation. This book of hope from Tammy interweaves third-person stories and letters of people who needed--and found--encouragement. We're not alone in our fight . . . in our struggles ... in our loneliness...or in our questions. Other people are going through tough times too, and are pressing on through the storms. It's usually easier for us to press on when we see that others have gone before us and have found joy again. We often need others to stand in the gap for us, when we cannot stand on our own during those difficult times. If we look--if we watch, we'll see and notice that we are never alone. When it's more then we can bear--Jesus stands in those gaps for us. He is able. Give it to God and let Him put your life back together again!

Finding me, finding my destiny' shows us the beauty of her transformation, where she now has confidence to move forward, reconciles herself with herself, understands who she really is, and eventually, start to think beyond herself to help others. VOLUME IV is titled 'The Forsaken Woman Finds Herself'. - this provides a conclusion as to her journey and her self-realization. THIS BOOK OF POETRY, WHICH IS A WOMAN'S STORY, WILL NOT DISAPPOINT!

Book excerpt: Traditional Negro spirituals play a key role in America’s music history. Spirituals were initially perpetuated by enslaved Africans in the American South through the oral tradition but today are available in a wide variety of choral, vocal, and instrumental arrangements. The lecture recital that accompanies this document will present seven traditional spirituals of varying themes: “Hold On,” “Witness,” “Deep River,” “Sweet Little Jesus Boy,” “Balm in Gilead,” “Steal Away,” and “Ride On, King Jesus.” Spirituals can be described by three closely interrelated textual categories or descriptors which correspond with their original use and historical context. Songs of sorrow are those songs which relate images or stories of despair or dejection, derived from their initial use as laments. Songs of hope inspire the singer to look toward his or her heavenly destination. These songs often contained symbolic messages used to guide other enslaved people to freedom through the Underground Railroad. Finally, songs of praise contain texts that bring glory to God, either by telling stories found in Scripture or by inviting others to have a relationship with Jesus. While a few songs fall neatly into one category, most spirituals have significant overlap in areas of theme and function. Thus, it is preferable to describe the overarching thematic elements of spirituals, rather than attempting to categorize them or compartmentalize them, as some authors have done. The document that follows will address issues of historical context, textual themes, and performance practice inherent in an analysis of Negro spirituals.
