Download or read book Joy and Tears written by Gerald W. Peterman and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2013-02-18 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a biblical and practical look at Christians and their emotions, building off of the concept that most contemporary Christians have misconceptions about why we have emotions and how we should handle them. Trusting God doesn’t mean being consistently tranquil or subdued. Truth is, such a view makes life flat and two dimensional. We often forget that emotions are a gift; to fear them or stow them away would be to deny a huge part of what makes us human. This book explores the significance of the gift and the benefits of living a robust life of thought, action, and feeling. Illuminating the emotional life of Christ and his followers, As Dr. Gerald Peterman asks: If I’m forgiven, why do I feel guilt and shame? What about anger? What if I’m angry with God? What is the place of sadness in the Christian life? Is love only an action? Emotions don’t just happen to us like the virus or the flu, they are inherently part of us. Readers will find that the discussion extends beyond “good” and “bad”, as many emotions are neutral and it is up to them to figure out how to glorify God with them. Extended chapters on love and anger are included.

Book excerpt: An instant New York Times bestseller. Over 1 million copies sold! Two spiritual giants. Five days. One timeless question. Nobel Peace Prize Laureates His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu have survived more than fifty years of exile and the soul-crushing violence of oppression. Despite their hardships—or, as they would say, because of them—they are two of the most joyful people on the planet. In April 2015, Archbishop Tutu traveled to the Dalai Lama's home in Dharamsala, India, to celebrate His Holiness's eightieth birthday and to create what they hoped would be a gift for others. They looked back on their long lives to answer a single burning question: How do we find joy in the face of life's inevitable suffering? They traded intimate stories, teased each other continually, and shared their spiritual practices. By the end of a week filled with laughter and punctuated with tears, these two global heroes had stared into the abyss and despair of our time and revealed how to live a life brimming with joy. This book offers us a rare opportunity to experience their astonishing and unprecedented week together, from the first embrace to the final good-bye. We get to listen as they explore the Nature of True Joy and confront each of the Obstacles of Joy—from fear, stress, and anger to grief, illness, and death. They then offer us the Eight Pillars of Joy, which provide the foundation for lasting happiness. Throughout, they include stories, wisdom, and science. Finally, they share their daily Joy Practices that anchor their own emotional and spiritual lives. The Archbishop has never claimed sainthood, and the Dalai Lama considers himself a simple monk. In this unique collaboration, they offer us the reflection of real lives filled with pain and turmoil in the midst of which they have been able to discover a level of peace, of courage, and of joy to which we can all aspire in our own lives.

Book excerpt: “When you first view Rose-Lynn Fisher’s photographs, you might think you’re looking down at the world from an airplane, at dunes, skyscrapers or shorelines. In fact, you’re looking at her tears. . . . [There’s] poetry in the idea that our emotional terrain bears visual resemblance to the physical world; that our tears can look like the vistas we see out an airplane window. Fisher’s images are the only remaining trace of these places, which exist during a moment of intense feeling—and then vanish.” —NPR “[A] delicate, intimate book. . . . In The Topography of Tears photographer Rose-Lynn Fisher shows us a place where language strains to express grief, longing, pride, frustration, joy, the confrontation with something beautiful, the confrontation with an onion.” —Boston Globe Does a tear shed while chopping onions look different from a tear of happiness? In this powerful collection of images, an award-winning photographer trains her optical microscope and camera on her own tears and those of men, women, and children, released in moments of grief, pain, gratitude, and joy, and captured upon glass slides. These duotone photographs reveal the beauty of recurring patterns in nature and present evocative, crystalline imagery for contemplation. Underscored by poetic captions, they translate the mysterious act of crying into an atlas mapping the structure and magnificence of our interior lives. Rose-Lynn Fisher is an artist and author of the International Photography Award-winning studies Bee and The Topography of Tears. Her photographs are exhibited in galleries, festivals, and museums across the world and have been featured by the Dr. Oz Show, NPR, Smithsonian, Harper’s, New Yorker, Time, Wired, Reader’s Digest, Discover, Brain Pickings, and elsewhere.

Book excerpt: This bestselling "lyrical, moving book: part essay, part memoir, part surprising cultural study" is an examination of why we cry, how we cry, and what it means to cry from a woman on the cusp of motherhood confronting her own depression (The New York Times Book Review). Heather Christle has just lost a dear friend to suicide and now must reckon with her own depression and the birth of her first child. As she faces her grief and impending parenthood, she decides to research the act of crying: what it is and why people do it, even if they rarely talk about it. Along the way, she discovers an artist who designed a frozen–tear–shooting gun and a moth that feeds on the tears of other animals. She researches tear–collecting devices (lachrymatories) and explores the role white women’s tears play in racist violence. Honest, intelligent, rapturous, and surprising, Christle’s investigations look through a mosaic of science, history, and her own lived experience to find new ways of understanding life, loss, and mental illness. The Crying Book is a deeply personal tribute to the fascinating strangeness of tears and the unexpected resilience of joy.

The Gift of Great Sorrow by Louise Braün Frank is the story of Louise's 25-year journey with her children Joshua and Leah who were diagnosed at the age of six with a progressive terminal disease which eventually claimed their young lives. As she walked through the grief of their daily losses, instead of becoming discouraged and overwhelmed, she chose to embody her father's advice, "Watch them live, don't watch them die."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arjomand's Kalayeh's poetry demonstrates his unflinching search for truth as experienced in the dynamic of all human interrelationships. Since he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, Arjomand wants to assure readers that his poetry exudes a quest for what inhabits the frail core of human beings everywhere in the world. Reading his poetry allows the reader to savor multiple realms. Some experiences are uplifting and inspiring; other experiences are filled with challenge of suffering. In his poetical works, Arjomand has surrendered his devotion and his gift to the degree that each poem is filled with power. The residue of polemical power is garnered from two sources: first, an acceptance for the past with its vast array of unresolved issues, and second, a great gratitude for all the insight and knowledge received during life's arduous and inspiring journey.Essential to an understanding of Arjomand's poetry is the poet's belief in the power of compassion that he believes is the salve that heals all wounds. Upon reading his works, the reader may be called upon to reevaluate the meaning behind life's priorities and central purpose. Thus, the reader may be called upon to reconnect with an intense sense of compassionate humanity indwelling within each human heart.Arjomand's poetry expresses the poet's belief in virtues: such as honor, loyalty, love, and truth. In short, his poems are ablaze with an inferno of lamentation and love. All in all, his poems touch on our collective humanity and build new pathways for empathy, and moments recollected in the tranquillity's cherished sense of memory. Poetry is a testimony to poetry's power of memory.Specifically, the subject matter for Arjomand's poems center on themes that are urgent for this time during humanity's global awakening. Arjomand paints emotional landscapes and portraits through which unseen tragedies are constantly unfolding in every day situations. Arjomand's poetry sharpens our cognitive perceptions so that we can finally glimpse rays of hope despite life's constant barrage of vicissitudes, pain, and suffering.To conclude, readers will be glad to find that each of Arjomand's poems peel away the complexities of love, loss, betrayal, and sacrifice. Each poem serves as a testimony for poetry's ability to transform despair into hope and gratitude. His poetry collection demonstrates his continuous struggle through pain and heartache. A cure is needed and a new kind of treatment that will save the poet from the deadly disease of pancreatic cancer.
