Book excerpt: Impeccably researched and masterfully written, this book explains how and why humanity is driving itself off the cliff. — Dahr Jamail, author, The End of Ice Weaving together findings from a wide range of disciplines, Power traces how four key elements developed to give humans extraordinary power: tool making ability, language, social complexity, and the ability to harness energy sources ― most significantly, fossil fuels. It asks whether we have, at this point, overpowered natural and social systems, and if we have, what we can do about it. Has Homo sapiens — one species among millions — become powerful enough to threaten a mass extinction and disrupt the Earth's climate? Why have we developed so many ways of oppressing one another? Can we change our relationship with power to avert ecological catastrophe, reduce social inequality, and stave off collapse? These questions — and their answers — will determine our fate.

Download or read book Reclaiming Power in Congregational and Community Ministry written by Fritz Ritsch and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2023-11-14 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Partisan religious interests have highjacked faith in America for political power, in the process dividing our nation and giving religion a bad name. Faith groups who want to build unity, in contrast, feel powerless to attain their goals. Congregations who can adapt to a more democratic approach to ministry, in which power is shared by both staff and congregants, can dramatically strengthen their congregations and serve their neighbors more effectively. Shared power strengthens individuals, congregations, and community efforts, enabling us to work with others, build community, and recognize and overcome negative power dynamics so that people can work together to build healthier congregations and communities. It also burnishes religion's tarnished image by demonstrating faithful, cooperative, and positive civic engagement for the community's good. This book also addresses the inevitable power dynamics in any congregation, allowing leaders to recognize unhealthy dynamics, foster healthy ones, and discover and cultivate the hidden power in each parishioner, so that individually they can live more fully into God's intention for them, and together the congregation can become the outpost of God's reign that it is meant to be.

Book excerpt: “Crisis, this next great Earth was gifted to them. An entire generation, silenced by situation, incubated.” In the shadow of an apocalyptic prophecy, a group of millennials inherits the ancient technology that creates new religions, and must decide when—and how—to change the world. Istanbul, yesterday: in a room above a shop selling swords made of stone, trinkets made of glass, and sacred souvenirs, the last of the trained saints decided to die. The only word on their suicide note? Muleykha. They were the Auromzed of the Ohm ce Alefa—the ancient, secret council that designed every religion known to humankind. Equipped with the technology that their ancestors dispersed in all corners of the globe, this circle has manufactured miracles, induced prophets, and guided morality through the rise and fall of every civilization on Earth. A new council ascends every 360 years, and muleykha is their most-heeded prophecy: that three women seated at their table of six will trigger the end of the world. Now, the heirs—an architect, a warrior, an archivist, an inventor, a businessman, and a budding physician—must make sense of their parents’ decision and pick up, untrained, where their elders left off. As they attend to their grief while devising a plan to address every crisis of the modern age, how much will what they do and don’t know undermine them? For fans of the themes in Octavia Butler’s Parable of the Sower, the inventions in Ted Chiang’s Exhalation, and the scope of Isaac Asimov's Foundation trilogy, Vestige: Book One merges elements of universal heritage with avant-garde world-building to deliver a cathartic—and at times humorous—speculative fiction commentary on how we survive our times.

Book excerpt: Before he can return to heaven, she must die. I can walk in the midday sun without melting, so people call me a witch. I’m not—just resistant to heat and cold, a gift I inherited from my mother. And if those morons want me to wield my powers to suck the fever from their sick family members, they should really stop calling me names. Sigh. I’m not popular around here, but I’m useful. However, since my sister’s murder, I can’t focus on my healing duties. I can’t shake the need for revenge. And when a cloaked man enters the infirmary, filling the doorway and glowing like a freaking sun God, I can’t look away. He recognizes me. His gaze licks me from head to toe. Some part of me remembers him too, but the memory slips through my fingers like smoke. Perhaps those rumors of magic are true. Perhaps this terrifying male nobody else can see really is a dark angel. Perhaps he murdered my sister. But his black eyes, hard body, and snaking magic look set to torture me with temptation. I just need to manifest some resistance to that.

Download or read book The Sense of Sight written by John Berger and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2011-07-13 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With this provocative and infinitely moving collection of essays, a preeminent critic of our time responds to the profound questions posed by the visual world. For when John Berger writes about Cubism, he writes not only of Braque, Léger, Picasso, and Gris, but of that incredible moment early in this century when the world converged around a marvelouis sense of promise. When he looks at the Modigiliani, he sees a man's infinite love revealed in the elongated lines of the painted figure. Ranging from the Renaissance to the conflagration of Hiroshima; from the Bosphorus to Manhattan; from the woodcarvers of a French village to Goya, Dürer, and Van Gogh; and from private experiences of love and of loss to the major political upheavals of our time, The Sense of Sight encourages us to see with the same breadth, courage, and moral engagement that its author does.
