Download or read book When Descendants Become Ancestors written by David A. Kendall PhD and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2014-09-05 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Excerpt from When Descendants Become Ancestors "Congratulationsyoure going to be an ancestor (someday). You cannot escape it. Nor can I. Nor can anyone else. Thats not necessarily a bad thing, depending on your beliefs about an afterlife, but each body ultimately ceases to exist. We all know that. From the moment of birth, each of us begins a journey that must ultimately conclude with our entrance into ancestry. As we research our own ancestors and mourn the lack of information available to us, we forget that we are the future ancestors of our descendants. And if we dont leave to them the kinds of information about our lives that we crave to know about our own forefathers, then we are merely perpetuating the problem." How often have you regretted your failure to engage the elder generations of your family for information about their lives and memories? How many times have you wanted just one more hour with a deceased relative who could answer that one burning question that you suddenly thought about, and that no one else can answer? Perhaps you remember a time when an older acquaintance wanted to share with you some stories about the good old days, but you couldnt be bothered. Most of us have had regrets like these, as will our descendantsunless we seek to record and preserve some stories for their use. Whether our stories are short and simple or long and complex matters not, but these stories will become part of their heritage and can certainly influence their lives. Though our contributions may not be recognized for decades, our lives matter to future generations and our stories should be told. The rest is up to each of us.

Book Synopsis Healing You and Your Family Tree by : Father Christopher Ngozi Onuoha
Download or read book Healing You and Your Family Tree written by Father Christopher Ngozi Onuoha and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-08-01 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Generational and family curses and bondage are real distressful experiences that plague and cause us suffering; they complicate and make personal and family life hard and unnecessarily burdensome. Healing You and Your Family Tree is written to address and counter this assault on families by evil forces, and their often hidden and unsuspecting agents. It outlines twelve comprehensive open doors to bondage and, gives insights on how to recognize the operations of demonic powers behind them, and the loopholes, mechanisms and tactics that lead to bondage. This well researched and detailed book is a useful guide to discern family curses that may be causing spiritual distress, the steps necessary to close the doors to evil, and how the power of prayer and intercession in the Spirit opens doors to grace and freedom through faith in the Holy Name of Jesus. Prayer is the antidote to evil, and the master key to healing. Prayer is the life of the soul as water is the life of fish. To pray well is to dwell and move in God. Saint Alphonsus Liguori said those who pray will be saved; those who do not pray will not be saved. The contemplative approach to healing has a special place for the prayer initiative as the gateway to freedom. God indeed governs the world, but prayer governs God. The prayer of faith that saves and heals rests on four solid pillars of prayer, penance, silence and solitude. We learn to pray by praying; when we do, we move mountains and overturn worldly kingdoms, GodaEUR(tm)s reign takes root in our hearts to make all things new in the love of the risen Christ. Christians born again and inserted into Christ by the Spirit in Baptism, united and strengthened in Him through Confirmation and the Sacraments, are prepared for victory in spiritual combat. This book equips readers with the knowledge and tools needed to succeed in battles against evils. It prepares believers to gain vital knowledge of self and God, and outlines principles for daily victories in spiritual warfare with the strength of self-knowledge grounded in the truth of GodaEUR(tm)s unconditional love for us, and the armor of light we need to stand firm in faith and to resist and overcome evil. Our senses, thoughts, feelings, and desires help us to navigate the challenging road of suffering due to generational curses. This book helps us to engage our reason and faculties and gifts to cooperate with GodaEUR(tm)s grace to receive healing. We are assured that the ultimate solution to generational suffering lies in the committed and intense relationship with Jesus Christ in a life of charity rooted in truth, humility, moral purity and personal holiness, for the one purpose of acquiring purity of heart, by which we see God. It emphasizes the supreme power and effectiveness of ChristaEUR(tm)s perpetual priestly sacrifice in setting all captives free, and alerts readers to the unseen but game-changing Spirit-inspired intercession of the contemplative approach to healing. Contemplation intensifies GodaEUR(tm)s fire-power in us through the Holy Spirit, we share in Divine intimacy, and are enabled to fight the good fight against the crosses of bondage with a sure and humble resignation to GodaEUR(tm)s Divine and always Victorious will.

Book Synopsis Respecting Rights? by : U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom
Download or read book Respecting Rights? written by U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom and published by Government Printing Office. This book was released on 2017-08 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report examines and compares the content of laws prohibiting blasphemy ("blasphemy laws") worldwide through the lens of international and human rights law principles. The laws examined in this study prohibit or criminalize the expression of opinions deemed "blasphemous," or counter to majority views or religious belief systems, and many impose serious, often criminal, penalties. Blasphemy laws are actively enforced in many states throughout the world. Many governments deem repeal not feasible or desirable and justify the prohibition and criminalization of blasphemy as necessary to promote religious harmony. This study seeks to evaluate the language and content of blasphemy laws to understand what aspects of these laws adhere to--or deviate from--international and human rights law principles. A better understanding of the laws' compliance with these principles may assist in the public policy community in developing clear, specifically-tailored recommendations for areas for reform.

Book Synopsis Blasphemies Compared by : Anne Stensvold
Download or read book Blasphemies Compared written by Anne Stensvold and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-29 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines both historical developments and contemporary expressions of blasphemy across the world. The transgression of religious boundaries incurs more or less severe sanctions in various religious traditions. This book looks at how religious and political authorities use ideas about blasphemy as a means of control. In a globalised world where people of different faiths interact more than ever before and world-views are an increasingly important part of identity politics, religious boundaries are a source of controversy. The book goes beyond many others in this field by widening its scope beyond the legal aspects of freedom of expression. Approaching blasphemy as effective speech, the chapters in this book focus on real-life situations and ask the following questions: who are the blasphemers, who are their accusers and what does blasphemy accomplish? Utilising case studies from Europe, the Middle East and Asia that encompass a wide variety of faith traditions, the book guides readers to a more nuanced appreciation of the historical roots, political implications and religious rationale of attitudes towards blasphemy. Incorporating historical and contemporary approaches to blasphemy, this book will be of great use to academics in Religious Studies and the Sociology of Religion as well as Political Science, Media Studies, History.

This book was released on 2021-03-22 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I think Scandinavian Paganism, to us here, is more interesting than any other. It is, for one thing, the latest it continued in these regions of Europe till the eleventh century eight hundred years ago the Norwegians were still worshipers of Odin. It is interesting also as the creed of our fathers the men whose blood still runs in our veins, whom doubtless we still resemble in so many ways. Strange: they did believe that, while we believe so differently. Let us look a little at this poor Norse creed, for many reasons. We have tolerable means to do it; for there is another point of interest in these Scandinavian mythologies: that they have been preserved so well. Neither is there no use in knowing something about this old Paganism of our fathers. Unconsciously, and combined with higher things, it is in us yet, that old faith withal. To know it consciously brings us into closer and clearer relations with the past, - with our own possessions in the past. For the whole past, as I keep repeating, is the position of the present. The past had always something true, and is a precious possession. In a different time, in a different place, it is always some other true of our common human nature that, has been developing Itself.

Book Synopsis Zuo’s Annals; Zuo Zhuan左传 by : Zuo Qiuming
Download or read book Zuo’s Annals; Zuo Zhuan左传 written by Zuo Qiuming and published by DeepLogic. This book was released on with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 左传 "Zuo Zhuan" or “Zuo’s Annals” is the first chronological history book said to be written by Zuo Qiuming , with a total of thirty-five volumes. It is one of the Confucian classics and the longest in the Thirteen Classics. The description ranged from 722 BC (Lu Yin Gong's first year) to 468 BC (Lu Yi Gong’s twenty-seventh year). The outstanding achievement of Zuo’s Annals is that it is the first large-scale and detailed history of China, which has an irreplaceable important position in the history of ancient historiography. On the scale of nearly 200,000 words, "Zuo’s Annals" comprehensively and systematically records the events of the Spring and Autumn Period, involving Zhou Dynasty and Jin, Lu, Chu, Zheng, Qi, Wei, Song, Wu, Qin, Yue and Chen. Although it is beleved to be a narrative based on "Spring and Autumn", another famous history book, its scope is wide, and the specific and detailed content of the narrative is far beyond the book of “Spring and Autumn”. "Zuo‘s Annals " provides a large amount of important history of thought history, economic history, social history and other academic history in the Spring and Autumn Period and its previous stages. It is a reliable record of major events in an important historical stage from the 8th century BC to the 5th century BC, filling the gap and helping future generations to fully understand the ancient Chinese civilization process.
Download or read book The Disillusioners written by Adam Bishop and published by Great Apes Publishing. This book was released on 2014-09-15 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jarvis is an investigative journalist with a penchant for making ill-advised sarcastic remarks to powerful government officials. He works for a small, rebel newspaper called The Disillusioners whose approach to tackling the news is explained in their motto: "Dispelling the Illusions of power." A large amount of money from the government's budget has mysteriously gone missing, and Jarvis is trying to figure out why. But the Hammers – the aristocrats who control Cirilia's government - are determined to make sure the story never comes out. A political mystery set against the backdrop of a magically-powered industrial revolution, The Disillusioners chronicles the economic upheaval sweeping across Cirilia. Small, family-owned businesses struggle to keep up with the ruthless efficiency of the magicorporations. The old order is overthrown as money, not magic, becomes the dominant form of social control. And a few powerful men believe the changes are a signal that progress must be brought to every corner of the globe, by force if necessary. As Jarvis races to uncover the fate of the missing money, he will confront the role that magic has played in determining who has power and how they get to wield it. He will be challenged to figure out where the line is drawn between luck and intention. And he must fight to reveal his government's secrets and hope that in the absence of power, truth is enough.
Book Synopsis Why We Shouldn't Call Our Ancestors Slaves by : LaRue Nedd
Download or read book Why We Shouldn't Call Our Ancestors Slaves written by LaRue Nedd and published by Fnnc Publishing. This book was released on 2012-11-08 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 3rd Edition- Black history, Psychology, Philosophy, African American History. Why the Africans brought to the Americas under slavery should not be call slaves.It is like an idea whose time has come. This book looks at slavery like no other. It is the paradigm shift we have been waiting for. It is the first book to dispel the stigma of slave from the identity of African Americans. This book is truly revolutionary because it goes against the grain of how we have been educated to view the history of Africans under slavery in the Americas. Racism in America will never be healed until this error is corrected. "I first discovered this error in 1990. I was writing an article about slavery. For clarity, I went to the dictionary and looked up the word slave. That is when it hit me. The definition did not apply to the ancestors of African Americans whom we call slaves. After that, I began to look up the word slave in every dictionary I could find. I discovered that the definition had gone virtually unchanged for over one hundred years until 1993 when I first published Why We Shouldn't Call Our Ancestors as a 19 page pamphlet. Over time, this understanding grew from an article, to a pamphlet, to the third edition. And, still, more learning and insights are coming."For a common understanding of the word slave, this book provides a definition and history of the word slave using the American Dictionary of the English Language by Noah Webster (1867), The Webster's New Twentieth Century Dictionary, Unabridged Second Edition (1979) The Henry Holt Encyclopedia of WORD and Phrase Origins (1990) and the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, 4th Edition (2000) word History.To prove that the word slave is a bogus word it compares the definition from the above sources to the ideas expressed in the Declaration of Independence. To prove that the definition does not fit, it uses quotes from esteemed historians such as John Hope Franklin and Lerone Bennett Jr. Just as all cars are not a Cadillacs, this book will show why all forms of human servitude are not slavery. It will show that slavery was a system human servitude that was unique to all other forms. This is important when it comes to understanding the impact that slavery has had on Black African Americans and Euro-Americans. It will show how the word slavery is being mis-applied, which causes confusion about the subject and makes the word slave more acceptable when applied to Africans who were in the system of slavery. This book will explain how and why this label has a negative effect on the esteem, self-esteem and psyche of African Americans on a conscious and subconscious level. To do that, it uses insights from Dr. Martin Luther King's speech, "The Drum Major Instinct." and other common sense examples. It will show how this belief serves as a core belief that supports racism other negative beliefs about Black African people.Next, this book will show how and why, in the context of American history, the label of slave leads Black African Americans to the most grievous error of abandonment of form. It will explain what is meant by "form" by using quotes from some of our most trusted documents and allegory. It will show why abandonment of form leads to disproportionate suffering.It will show how and why calling our ancestors slaves is a form of Blasphemy. It will explain what blasphemy is and why calling the ancestors of Black African people who were captured under slavery, slaves is a form of blasphemy. Until modern time, blasphemy was punishable by death. (Matthew 15:4) This book will strengthen our mental and spiritual connection to our ancestors and ultimately to the Creator of Man.In the end, it suggests questions about Black history that our children should be able to answer. It also suggests names that we can apply to our ancestors instead of the word slave.

Download or read book Blasphemy in the Christian World written by David Nash and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2010-09-16 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tracing the subject from the Middle Ages to the present, David Nash outlines the history of blasphemy as a concept - from a species of heresy to modern understandings of it as a crime against the sacred and individual religious identity. Investigating its appearance in speech, literature, popular publishing and the cinema, he disinters the likely motives and agendas of blasphemers themselves, as well as offering a glimpse of blasphemy's victims. In particular, he seeks to understand why this seemingly medieval offence has reappeared to become a distinctly modern presence in the West.
