Download or read book When Our Words Return written by Phyllis Morrow and published by Logan, Utah : Utah State University Press. This book was released on 1995-10 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The title to this interdisciplinary collection draws on the Yupik Eskimo belief that seals, fish, and other game are precious gifts that, when treated with respect and care, will return to be hunted again. Just so, if oral traditions are told faithfully and respectfully, they will return to benefit future generations. The contributors to this volume are concerned with the interpretation and representation of oral narrative and how it is shaped by its audience and the time, place, and cultural context of the narration. Thus, oral traditions are understood as a series of dialogues between tradition bearers and their listeners, including those who record, write, and interpret.
Download or read book Words of Encouragement While Awaiting the Lord s Return written by E. Richard Pigeon Ph.D. and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2021-06-16 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The apostle Paul always gave thanks to God for all the believers in Thessalonica, mentioning them in his prayers. He remembered their work of faith, their labor of love, and their steadfastness of hope in the Lord Jesus. His two letters are meant to encourage them to progress even more in a life pleasing to God. In these letters, the teachings on the Lord’s return, first to take His Church and then to reign, are presented with great clarity. They were meant to comfort those dear believers in Thessalonica, to remove their fears, and to resolve their doubts. We will also find much encouragement ourselves in carefully reading these two letters. The exhortations to lead an orderly life, to live quietly, and to encourage and edify one another are more relevant today than ever. They help us, while waiting for the return of the Lord, “to walk in a manner worthy of God, who calls us into His own kingdom and glory.” The purpose of these Words of Encouragement is to help readers find personal encouragement in Paul’s letters to the Thessalonians and in the commentaries on each verse. This book is meant to stimulate us in our work of faith, our labor of love, and our steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. May we persevere in our Christian journey until the Lord’s return. He is coming soon!
Download or read book My Word written by Susan D. Blum and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2011-06-15 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Classroom Cheats Turn to Computers." "Student Essays on Internet Offer Challenge to Teachers." "Faking the Grade." Headlines such as these have been blaring the alarming news of an epidemic of plagiarism and cheating in American colleges: more than 75 percent of students admit to having cheated; 68 percent admit to cutting and pasting material from the Internet without citation. Professors are reminded almost daily that many of today's college students operate under an entirely new set of assumptions about originality and ethics. Practices that even a decade ago would have been regarded almost universally as academically dishonest are now commonplace. Is this development an indication of dramatic shifts in education and the larger culture? In a book that dismisses hand-wringing in favor of a rich account of how students actually think and act, Susan D. Blum discovers two cultures that exist, often uneasily, side by side in the classroom. Relying extensively on interviews conducted by students with students, My Word! presents the voices of today's young adults as they muse about their daily activities, their challenges, and the meanings of their college lives. Outcomes-based secondary education, the steeply rising cost of college tuition, and an economic climate in which higher education is valued for its effect on future earnings above all else: These factors each have a role to play in explaining why students might pursue good grades by any means necessary. These incentives have arisen in the same era as easily accessible ways to cheat electronically and with almost intolerable pressures that result in many students being diagnosed as clinically depressed during their transition from childhood to adulthood. However, Blum suggests, the real problem of academic dishonesty arises primarily from a lack of communication between two distinct cultures within the university setting. On one hand, professors and administrators regard plagiarism as a serious academic crime, an ethical transgression, even a sin against an ethos of individualism and originality. Students, on the other hand, revel in sharing, in multiplicity, in accomplishment at any cost. Although this book is unlikely to reassure readers who hope that increasing rates of plagiarism can be reversed with strongly worded warnings on the first day of class, My Word! opens a dialogue between professors and their students that may lead to true mutual comprehension and serve as the basis for an alignment between student practices and their professors' expectations.

Download or read book Let the Nations be Glad written by John Piper and published by Inter-Varsity Press. This book was released on 2020-05-21 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Mission is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is. Missions exist because worship doesn't. Worship is ultimate.' John Piper's contemporary classic draws on key biblical texts to demonstrate that worship is the ultimate goal of the church and that proper worship fuels missionary outreach. Piper offers a biblical defence of God's supremacy in all things, providing a sound theological foundation for missions. He examines whether Jesus is the only way to salvation and issues a passionate plea for God-centredness in the missionary enterprise, seeking to define the scope of the task and the means for reaching 'all nations'. Let the Nations Be Glad! is a trusted resource for missionaries, pastors, church leaders, youth workers, seminary students, and all who want to connect their labours to God's global purposes. This third edition has been revised and expanded throughout and includes new material on the 'prosperity gospel'.
Download or read book See Their Miracles written by T M Orecchia and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2018-08-02 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever thought about miracles? Have you ever wondered why only one person survived a deadly airplane crash, or how a baby could have survived a fire that destroyed their house and all the family members? Were you ever able to figure out how a hiker could survive being lost in the mountains for many days with no food, water, or proper clothing? Did you ever think that a higher energy or angels were involved in these types of events? Why are some people returned to earth when they apparently have died? They are kicked back to earth but for what reason? Does this rescued soul have a special role to perform on earth before returning to the other side? Spiritually, what is happening to that soul? Is it a special soul that needs to stay on earth for a while longer? But why? These and many more questions that you may have regarding miracles are answered by the angels in See Their Miracles. As in Theresas earlier books, Hear Their Voices and Receive Their Messages, angels are narrating the stories. They explain very clearly at the beginning of each story the type of miracle they want to talk about. They further explain the miracle as it occurs, how they work with souls individually, and how the miracle applies to you. See Their Miracles completes Theresas Enlighted Series, an angel trilogy.
Download or read book Immigrant Children in Transcultural Spaces written by Marjorie Faulstich Orellana and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-10-14 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grounded in both theory and practice, with implications for both, this book is about children’s perspectives on the borders that society erects, and their actual, symbolic, ideational and metaphorical movement across those borders. Based on extensive ethnographic data on children of immigrants (mostly from Mexico, Central America and the Philippines) as they interact with undergraduate students from diverse linguistic, cultural and racial/ethnic backgrounds in the context of an urban play-based after-school program, it probes how children navigate a multilingual space that involves playing with language and literacy in a variety of forms. Immigrant Children in Transcultural Spaces speaks to critical social issues and debates about education, immigration, multilingualism and multiculturalism in an historical moment in which borders are being built up, torn down, debated and recreated, in both real and symbolic terms; raises questions about the values that drive educational practice and decision-making; and suggests alternatives to the status quo. At its heart, it is a book about how love can serve as a driving force to connect people with each other across all kinds of borders, and to motivate children to engage powerfully with learning and life.
