Download or read book Godmothers written by Lisa Bevere and published by Revell. This book was released on 2020-08-25 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a role unique to women that we abandon easily. We live near each other, but not with each other--and not for each other. We don't want to intrude or judge and, maybe, we don't want to see each other truly succeed. And the world is happy with this unhappy state for women--one that pushes us to conform to a pattern of distrust, disengagement, and competition. It's no wonder we've lost ourselves, and our way. In her most personal, powerful book yet, New York Times bestselling author Lisa Bevere offers a catalytic, transformative vision for women of a different way to live--one that embraces the presence of a godmother--the older, wiser women you can go to and learn from, the strong women who partner with us through life. And everyone needs one! Drawing from her own life, biblical women, and the world of fairy tales, Lisa will show you how to transform what you have into what God wants you to have, push you forward during seasons of doubt, and love you enough to speak truth about God's larger, expansive view of your life. Lisa's candid, compassionate words are your best first step to living as a daughter of God, surrounded by strong relationships and confidence in your calling.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marriage has long been hailed as a union of bliss where two persons are joined together, forsaking all others for as long as they both shall live. It is considered to be the safe haven of trust, loyalty, love and respect. In 2010 when a bubbly career-driven counsellor, Sosheina Whyte, met and entered into a relationship with a charming young man, she hoped that the relationship would lead to marriage as this would be the beginning of a beautiful marital union and the establishment of her own family. However, as she ventured on the road through courtship and into marriage, she encountered difficulties that threatened to destroy her mental wellness. She found herself trapped in a union that was plagued with emotional strife ranging from verbal abuse to infidelity. It was no longer a safe haven of trust or loyalty and love and respect were clearly served an eviction notice. Locked in this abusive marriage, Sosheina found herself with a choice to make - having vowed and forsaken all others. Does she fight to remain in a marriage she openly walked into or does she shun fear and get the hell out?
Download or read book Zen Women written by Grace Schireson and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2009-11-10 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This landmark presentation at last makes heard the centuries of Zen's female voices. Through exploring the teachings and history of Zen's female ancestors, from the time of the Buddha to ancient and modern female masters in China, Korea, and Japan, Grace Schireson offers us a view of a more balanced Dharma practice, one that is especially applicable to our complex lives, embedded as they are in webs of family relations and responsibilities, and the challenges of love and work. Part I of this book describes female practitioners as they are portrayed in the classic literature of "Patriarchs' Zen"--often as "tea-ladies," bit players in the drama of male students' enlightenments; as "iron maidens," tough-as-nails women always jousting with their male counterparts; or women who themselves become "macho masters," teaching the same Patriarchs' Zen as the men do. Part II of this book presents a different view--a view of how women Zen masters entered Zen practice and how they embodied and taught Zen uniquely as women. This section examines many urgent and illuminating questions about our Zen grandmothers: How did it affect them to be taught by men? What did they feel as they trying to fit into this male practice environment, and how did their Zen training help them with their feelings? How did their lives and relationships differ from that of their male teachers? How did they express the Dharma in their own way for other female students? How was their teaching consistently different from that of male ancestors? And then part III explores how women's practice provides flexible and pragmatic solutions to issues arising in contemporary Western Zen centers.

Book excerpt: What if your life did not go the way you intended? What if you were bullied at school, diagnosed with M.E. during your final exams, missed out on university, had your heart broken and on top of all of that, broke your back in a riding accident? What would you do differently?Jo did something different.The Lion's Roar is a moving memoir in which a dream is fulfilled and personal traumas are overcome. Raised in the English middle classes, she finds that her life changes dramatically when she falls in love with both an African wildlife film-maker and the African bush itself. He introduces her to Botswana's Okavango Delta where their existence is basic, natural and earthy. Together, they are alone in the wilds where she views Africa's fabulous animals at close quarters and is taken aback at the overwhelming beauty of the sunsets. Now coming to the end of her trip to Africa, she sees that her years of struggles have left their mark on her but through the spiritual and physical freedom of the African bush she experiences herself being awakened. She feels that she has finally come home.Months later, having returned to England, their relationship inexplicably comes to an end and she feels utter devastation and mourns the future which she and her lover would have had together. Without an explanation from him as to their failure, the loss is even harder to bear. Some time later, the opportunity arises to transfer to Dubai through her company. At the age of 30, she embarks on a much needed fresh start. Emotionally, she reaches dark depths where her self-esteem plummets and she is overwhelmed by loneliness as she cannot understand why the one thing that she thinks will make her happy, marriage, seems to be eluding her. Amidst this despair, her life takes an unusual turn when she breaks her back in an horrendous riding accident, avoiding paralysis by millimetres. All control of her life is totally removed in those moments she thuds to the ground and, during her grueling 8 month rehabilitation, she is faced with the basics of relearning to walk. As her recovery progresses, she sees another side of herself and she loves who she discovers. On returning to work and the old strains resurfacing, she realises that this is no longer the right environment for her. The only thing she knows for sure is the strong pull to return to the African bush. Zambia is her place of choice where she joins a research project in Kafue National Park and over her months there, she recognises that the bush is indeed the one place where she truly belongs and, in time, she finds a one year Field Guide and Lodge Management training course in South Africa. At the age of 34, she is comfortable with being single, recognising that that environment will not be conducive to meeting someone but believing that by following her passion for the African bush, she will indeed know fulfilment, albeit in a different way. Unexpectedly, whilst training to be a safari guide, she meets and falls in love with a fellow Englishman. In the bush, she finds inner peace and a sense of belonging. In her new husband, she finds her true equal. She is living her dream by being in the bush. Her husband is the icing on her cake. Their lives will forever be in Africa.That lady is me.

Download or read book Lion written by Deirdre Jackson and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2010-05-15 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the lion is not the largest, fastest or most lethal animal, its position as king of beasts has rarely been challenged. Since Palaeolithic times, lions have fascinated people, and due to its gallant mane, knowing eyes, and distinctive roar, the animal continues to beguile us today. In Lion, Deirdre Jackson paints a fresh portrait of this regal beast, drawing on folktales, the latest scientific research, and even lion-tamers’ memoirs, as well as other little-known sources to tell the story of lions famous and anonymous, familiar and surprising. Majestic, noble, brave—the lion is an animal that has occupied a great place in the human imagination, inspiring countless myths, lore and legends. As well, this creative relationship has abounded in visual culture—painted on wood and canvas, chiseled in stone, hammered in metal, and tucked between the pages of medieval manuscripts, lions have often represented divinity, dignity, and danger. In Lion Jackson summarizes the latest findings of field biologists and offers in-depth analyses of works of art, literature, oral traditions, plays, and films. She is a peerless guide on a memorable visual and cultural safari.
Download or read book Lion Hearted written by Andrew Loveridge and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-04-10 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Until the lion has its own storyteller, tales of the lion hunt will always glorify the hunter.” —Zimbabwean proverb In 2015, an American hunter named Walter Palmer shot and killed a lion named Cecil. The lion was one of dozens slain each year in Zimbabwe, which legally licenses the hunting of big cats. But Cecil’s death sparked unprecedented global outrage, igniting thousands of media reports about the peculiar circumstances surrounding this hunt. At the center of the controversy was Dr. Andrew Loveridge, the zoologist who had studied Cecil for eight years. In Lion Hearted, Loveridge pieces together, for the first time, the fascinating life and murky details of this beloved lion’s slaying. In the tradition of Born Free and Gorillas in the Mist, Lion Hearted chronicles Loveridge’s long acquaintance with a host of charismatic lions that his team has tracked, often from birth to death. Born and raised in Zimbabwe, Loveridge learned to love predators at the knee of his father, an eminent herpetologist who stored baby crocodiles in the family bathtub. After earning his doctorate at Oxford, he seized an invitation to study the lions of Zimbabwe’s Hwange National Park. There he meets Stumpy Tail, who, despite her name, has the dignity of the Queen of the Animal Kingdom; Dynamite, a venerable coalition leader who, muscled out by younger males, sets off on an incredible thirty-seven-day, 137-mile journey to find a new home; and Kataza, who escapes another lion’s claws, and whom Loveridge twice saves from death at the hands of humans. And, of course, there is Cecil. Dethroned in an epic battle, he forms an alliance with a former rival. He also becomes a favorite of photographers and tourists—until the fateful night when a Minnesota dentist and his hunting guide entice the trusting cat with a free meal. Loveridge unravels the complexities of lion society and the dangers the cats face both within their ranks and from the outside world. Despite their ruthless reputation, lions can form deep emotional bonds—females live in prides, a sisterhood of mothers, daughters, sisters, and aunts that can exhibit military precision when hunting in formation; males band together in coalitions to vie for control of territory and the female prides. They also display a wide range of emotional behavior, including mourning the loss of their mates, partners, and cubs. Africa’s lion population is estimated to have shrunk by 43 percent in the last twenty years. There may now be as few as 20,000 wild lions across the entire continent—far fewer than the number of elephants. While deploring the killing of lions for sport, Loveridge does not believe that banning trophy hunting, by itself, will halt the decline of Africa’s lion populations. He sees greater threats in human population growth, the loss of habitat to agriculture, and the illegal trade in lion body parts for use in traditional medicines. And he offers concrete proposals for averting the lion’s extinction. More than a gripping detective story, Lion Hearted is an exploration of humanity’s relationship with the natural world and an attempt to keep this majestic species from disappearing. “Lions are one of the most beloved animals on the planet,” Loveridge observes. “They are the national symbol of no fewer than fifteen countries. . . . Surely, we can think of a better way to save the wild animals we love besides killing them.”

Download or read book The Last Lions of Africa written by Anthony Ham and published by Allen & Unwin. This book was released on 2020-08-04 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Bravely pursued, acutely observed and elegantly told.' John Vaillant, author of The Tiger 'Urgent and important. This moving tale with a heroic cast of characters, leonine and human, is a must-read for anyone passionate about wildlife and wild places.' Tony Park, author of Last Survivor This is the riveting and illuminating story of Australian writer Anthony Ham's extraordinary journey into the world of lions. Haunted by the idea that they might disappear from the planet in our lifetime, he ventured deep into the African wilderness, speaking to local tribespeople and activists as well as to rangers, scientists and conservationists about why lions are close to extinction and what can be done to save them. In The Last Lions of Africa, we walk alongside Anthony as he reveals the latest extraordinary science surrounding the earth's dwindling lion populations and their often surprising relationship to mankind. As he uncovers heartbreaking and astonishing accounts of individual lions, prides and habitats, each chapter unfolds as both gripping campfire story and deeply researched exploration of larger mysteries in the natural world. Anthony's vivid storytelling weaves together natural history, ancient lore and multidisciplinary science to show us a world in which human populations are growing and wild lands are shrinking; where lions and indigenous peoples fight not for sovereignty over the land but for their very existence. In this gripping and crucial book, Anthony Ham brings Africa, its people and its endangered lions to magnificent life and shows the surprising ways those last lions might be saved.
