Book Synopsis The World Is a Waiting Lover by : Trebbe Johnson
Download or read book The World Is a Waiting Lover written by Trebbe Johnson and published by New World Library. This book was released on 2011-02-08 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Johnson explores the concept of the Beloved — the elusive, alluring force that beckons us forth to passionate engagement with the world — and shows how our sense of love is often linked to something far greater than ourselves. She explains that mistaking a human lover for the inner, eternal Beloved is the first step in any romance, yet the ability to distinguish between the two ultimately holds the key to our quest for personal freedom and fulfillment. Steeped in Western and Eastern myth and romantic imagery, The World is a Waiting Lover guides us through story and thought in order to discover passion, Eros, and our authentic selves. It is a personal story and, at the same time, an invitation to explore our individual yearnings to live with fearless authenticity as we find more passion and meaning in our work, relationships, and view of the future.
Book Synopsis The Message of Love by : Patrick Mitchel
Download or read book The Message of Love written by Patrick Mitchel and published by Inter-Varsity Press. This book was released on 2019-09-19 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Love – such a deceptively simple and popular little word. It is almost universally agreed that we need love in order to live and flourish as human beings; and yet within our contemporary culture there are numerous confusing, competing and evolving ideas about what ‘love’ is. There are few greater subjects in Christian theology than love; yet it is a surprisingly complex and challenging concept to understand, let alone live by. Patrick Mitchel’s conviction is that Christians need to be thinking about, and practising, love in compelling and winsome ways. Our task is not only to articulate what love is, but also to show to the world what authentic Christian love looks like in practice. ‘The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love’ (Gal. 5:6 NIV). Mitchel’s exposition explores love in the Old Testament; how the love of God is supremely revealed in the mission and death of Jesus Christ; love in the life and teaching of Jesus; and the church’s calling to be a community of love. He helps us to grasp afresh the breadth, depth, scope, and radically counter-cultural nature of the Bible’s teaching on love.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I was going to title this book Spoken Word Necessity because I feel speaking aloud is necessary. I thought it was perfect since this is a book of poetry. Although the title describes my book, it does not capture my image. Spoken Word Necessity gives us an opportunity to speak, but what about? We can talk about love, mistakes, lessons, blessings, progression, regression, happiness, sadness, despair, encouragement, any and all things that can’t be suppressed. I am speaking out loud about evolving. This book of poetry demonstrates life experiences from which lessons were learned. I inadvertently put what I needed in the universe within my poetry and have had those needs come to fruition. Queenism is whatever greatness and growth you want it to be in your life. For me, queenism is the ability to manifest before time (BT) what is nourishing for a lifetime. This rhythmic collection of thoughts and emotions are presented in a soft and raw but honest manner. They display growth of a young African American girl into a spiritually inclined mother, wife and developed woman , truly showing that we are all a work in progress. Nonetheless, spoken words are necessary for evolving into something great. Evolution into Queenism is my journey to being the best me.

Download or read book The Six Archetypes of Love written by Allan G. Hunter and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2008-09-01 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Addressing the need to understand the role of love in life, this compendium of startling insights relates love to the spiritual development in each of six universal archetypes. Attempting to answer such questions as What is love? How do we find it and how can we keep it? Why are there so many puzzling forms of it? and Why do so many people get it so wrong?, the book shows how love relates to the self-awareness in spiritual development for each archetype. Whether describing an Innocent, a Magician, a Monarch, an Orphan, a Pilgrim, or a Warrior-Lover, the featured archetype profiles offer essential guidance about what level of awareness is currently being lived, how to transition to the next stage, and how love can be nurtured. Each stage of development is tied to the ancient wisdom of the Tarot--the visual images of which act as reminders as to what to expect on life's journey--supported by real-life and pop culture examples that provide more immediate accessibility.

Book Synopsis Planet Claire: Suite for Cello and Sad-Eyed Lovers by : Jeff Porter
Download or read book Planet Claire: Suite for Cello and Sad-Eyed Lovers written by Jeff Porter and published by Akashic Books. This book was released on 2021-01-05 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second installment in Ann Hood’s Gracie Belle imprint challenges the traditional solemnity that characterizes nonfiction books of grief, loss, and sorrow. “Few readers will fail to be gripped by this tragically common story about death and what comes after for those left behind . . . A haunting and thought-provoking consideration of death and ‘how utterly it rips apart our lives.'” —Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review Planet Claire is the story of the untimely death of the author’s wife and his candid account of the following year of madness and grief. As his life unravels, Porter analyzes his sadness with growing interest. He talks to Claire as if to evoke a presence, to mark a space for memory. He reports on his daily walks and shares observations of life’s sadness, while reminiscing about various moments in their life together. Like Orpheus, the author searches for a lost love, and what he finds is not the dog of doom but flashes of an intimate symmetry that brighten the darkest places of sorrow. The second title from Ann Hood’s Gracie Belle imprint, Planet Claire takes readers on a journey of sorrow that recalls memorable works by C.S. Lewis (A Grief Observed), Joan Didion (The Year of Magical Thinking), and Julian Barnes (Levels of Life). Porter’s memoir, however, is also playful, quirky, and self-ironic in a way that challenges the genre’s traditional solemnity. Like the novel Grief Is the Thing with Feathers by Max Porter, this is an unpredictably funny account of heartbreak, as if to say there’s something about the magnitude of loss that troubles even earnestness.
Download or read book Goodbye Eros written by Ana Laguna and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2020-04-02 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditional Petrarchan and Neoplatonic paradigms of love started to show clear signs of inadequacy and exhaustion in the sixteenth century. How did the Spanish Golden Age recast worn out discourses of love and make them compelling again? This volume explores how Spanish letters recognized that old love paradigms, especially the crisis of the subject, presented an extraordinary opportunity for revising traditional literary strictures. As a result, during Spain’s nascent modernity, literature took up the challenge to expand existing forms of desire and subjectivity. A range of scholars show how canonical and non-canonical Golden Age writers like Miguel de Cervantes, Diego Hurtado de Mendoza, Francisco de Quevedo, Luis de Góngora, Lope de Vega, and Francisco de la Torre y Sevil became equal agents of the sweeping ontological reconfiguration of the idea of eros that defined their culture. Such reconfiguration includes: the troubling displacement of "self" and "other" seen in sentimental genres like the pastoral or romance; the overlapping of emotions such as love and jealousy characteristic of the baroque lyric and dramatic production; and the conflation of axioms such as eros and eris prevalent in contemporaneous epic experiments. In uniting the findings of often surprising texts, the collection of essays in Goodbye Eros takes a pioneering look at how Golden Age moral, ideological, scientific, and literary discourses intersected to create fascinating re-elaborations of the trope of love.
Book Synopsis Love and the Politics of Intimacy by : Stanislava Dikova
Download or read book Love and the Politics of Intimacy written by Stanislava Dikova and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2023-01-12 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Love and the Politics of Intimacy articulates the concept of love within the relationship between the intimate and the social, rethinking how intimacy is conceived and experienced in the context of 21st-century neoliberalism. Reflecting on experiences of intimate, romantic and sexual love, and the role of individual identity, these essays explore historical trajectories that have culminated in particular, contemporary experiences of intimate love. Politically, this work links identity and articulation of the self to liberatory practices in the arenas of friendship, romance and sex. This interdisciplinary exploration of what love means in the 21st century incorporates academic writing and original creative work from established and emerging scholars around the globe. Essays from across the humanities and social sciences – including literary studies, sociology, psychology, philosophy and gender studies – interrogate the role of relational intimacy on topics of 'Love and Romance', 'Love and Liberation' and 'Love and Technologies of Intimacy'. The volume looks at the past, present and future in search of inspiration for transforming and re-charting the pathways of love, seeking a more diverse and emancipatory model of social life and what it would take to restore love to social and institutional spaces.
Book Synopsis Discourses of Disease by : Howard Y. F. Choy
Download or read book Discourses of Disease written by Howard Y. F. Choy and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-05-18 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The meanings of disease have undergone such drastic changes with the introduction of modern Western medicine into China during the last two hundred years that new discourses have been invented to theorize illness, redefine health, and reconstruct classes and genders. As a consequence, medical literature is rewritten with histories of hygiene, studies of psychopathology, and stories of cancer, disabilities and pandemics. This edited volume includes studies of discourses about both bodily and psychiatric illness in modern China, bringing together ground-breaking scholarships that reconfigure the fields of history, literature, film, psychology, anthropology, and gender studies by tracing the pathological path of the “Sick Man of East Asia” through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries into the new millennium.
