Download or read book Uprising of Goats written by Diane Glancy and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2014-08-18 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A professor hears the voices of Biblical women. She begins writing. What was it like for Dorcas to die and be brought back to life? What was it like for Philip's daughters to live with the threat of persecution after Christ was crucified? What did Miriam feel when she sat in the leprosy tent? What did they all say as the professor wove her own story between their voices? It was Michal, David's first wife, who made a bolster of goat's hair for David's bed when Saul, her father, was trying to kill him. The bolster made it look as if David were there. Likewise, these women's voices are not their actual voices, because they were not recorded in Scripture, but a similitude of what such women might have said. The narrator struggles with their stories beneath Scripture. Michal is maligned because she scorned David when he danced before the ark, but after the death of her sister, she raised her sister's sons. David hanged them all when the Gibeonites told him that Saul had broken a covenant with them. They asked that Saul's male descendants be killed. What was it like for Michal to see her nephews hanged? What did she have to say?

Download or read book Goatwalking written by Jim Corbett and published by . This book was released on 1991-07-30 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is Goatwalking about? Come and see: join Jim Corbett (1933-2001) in an epic true set of often dangerous journeys, and searching spiritual adventures. Raised on western ranches and Indian reservations, Jim finished college in three years and took a Harvard masters in philosophy back to a career as a cowboy, librarian, desert guide and seeker. This path took sharp turns when the Central American wars of the 1980s brought turmoil to the border region. His pages move seamlessly from reopening a dried-up mountain spring, caring for goat udders, to being inspired by Don Quixote and Francis of Assisi, to dodging armed guerrillas and death squads in war-torn 1980s Central America. Jim co-created an epic sanctuary movement that brought thousands of desperate war refugees to safety - yet he did so not to disobey the law, but to uphold U. S. laws the government was itself defying daily. As part of this work, Jim also delved into and remixed Catholic, Protestant and Jewish theologies with Quaker peculiarities and traditions. He joined other religious activists to build an interfaith coalition with international reach and few parallels since the original Underground Railroad. It challenged presidents, coyotes, the Border Patrol, and both the Bible and the biblical God. Along the way, Jim also clearly foresaw coming climate and other social calamities, and sought to plant the seeds for a "peaceable kingdom" alternative in wilderness places like the Sonora Desert. Few activists of our time have combined so much advocacy with Jim's deeply reflective, desert mystic's temperament and wisdom. Goatwalking travels through years of war and tumult to a conclusion that, even in struggle, "The highest praise is silence." Ultimately, what is Goatwalking like? Like nothing else. Like Jim Corbett, his restless, brilliant mind, ever-seeking spirit, his love for the beautiful, turbulent wildlands he roamed, and the wider, threatened world he thought and wrote about so deeply there. First published in 1991, Goatwalking is finally back in print, and it's as timelessly mind-expanding, pioneering and prophetic as ever. Timeless. And just in time.
