Book Synopsis The Ebony Exodus Project by : Candace R. M. Gorham
Download or read book The Ebony Exodus Project written by Candace R. M. Gorham and published by Pitchstone Publishing (US&CA). This book was released on 2014-07-01 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black women are the single most religious demographic in the United States, yet they are among the poorest, least educated, and least healthy groups in the nation. Drawing on the author's own past experience as an evangelical minister and her present work as a secular counselor and researcher, The Ebony Exodus Project makes a direct connection between the church and the plight of black women. Through interviews with African American women who have left the church, the author reveals the shame and suffering often caused by the church—and the resulting happiness, freedom, and sense of purpose these women have felt upon walking away from it. This book calls on other black women to honestly reflect on their relationship with religion and challenges them to consider that perhaps the answers to their problems rest not inside a church, but in themselves.

Book Synopsis On Death, Dying, and Disbelief by : Candace R. M. Gorham
Download or read book On Death, Dying, and Disbelief written by Candace R. M. Gorham and published by Pitchstone Publishing (US&CA). This book was released on 2021-10-19 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone grieves in their own way and according to their own timeframe, the accepted wisdom tells us. But those in mourning rarely find comfort in knowing this. Further, those attempting to support someone in mourning can do little with this advice, leaving them with a sense of helplessness. As a mental health professional and someone who has dealt with her own share of personal grief, Candace R. M. Gorham understands well the quest for relief. The truth of the matter, she says, is there is no one way to grieve, but there are things that are important to pay attention to while mourning. While much of the advice she shares is universal, she pays particular attention to the struggle those who do not believe in a god or afterlife face with the loss of a loved one—and offers practical, life-affirming steps for them to remember and heal.

This story, spanning 140 years of rich Adirondack history, will fascinate the thousands of campers, staff, and visitors who have come to know and love Dart¿s Lake and Camp Gorham over the years.

Download or read book Water Language written by Peter W. Gorham and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-01-05 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Water Language Peter Gorham links together a diverse set of poems exploring history, mythology, diverse locales including Hawai'i and Antarctica, and the inner landscape of the self. These short works are framed and infused with the sounds and images of water--ocean, rain, river, ice, and stream--flowing through them or just beneath their surface. They take us through the pain of loss, the mystery of joy, and ultimately the hope of a higher love and power that governs our lives. Water language is the language of our own bodies and souls, which speaks within us before the words take shape in our mouths. The author, professor of physics by vocation, and a sailor and surfer by passion, forges together a strange alloy of language and imagery that draws us in, surprises, convicts, and rewards us with the sense that our lives are not forgotten by the God who is there.
Book Synopsis National Service, Citizenship, and Political Education by : Eric B. Gorham
Download or read book National Service, Citizenship, and Political Education written by Eric B. Gorham and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1992-09-01 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes the issues surrounding civilian national service policy from a fresh and original perspective. The author connects national service programs to the political theories of civic republicanism and communitarianism, assesses the practical consequences of these theories, and examines past youth service programs such as the CCC and Peace Corps to see if they are appropriate models or ideals for a national program. Gorham engages the issue of compulsory versus voluntary service and questions whether service tasks can instill a sense of "citizenship" in young people, as defenders of the program claim. Using the work of Michel Foucault, Charles Taylor, Carole Pateman, and others, he suggests that national service, as presently planned, will not create the "citizen" so much as a post-industrial and gendered subject. In the concluding chapters, he presents an argument for a democratic national service and offers an alternative program for policymakers to consider.

Book Synopsis The Owl at the Window by : Carl Gorham
Download or read book The Owl at the Window written by Carl Gorham and published by Coronet. This book was released on 2018-05-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Owl at the Window is a dramatic, moving and funny memoir. An emotional, ultimately uplifting tale of loss and hope. 'Amazing and completely compelling...both funny and sad, and so moving, I couldn't put it down.' - Alison Steadman 'Devastatingly moving and hilarious in equal measure. I have laughed and cried during the reading of a single sentence.' - Caroline Quentin Winner of Best Memoir at the East Anglian Book Awards 'She is dead. She was here just now and she was alive. How can she suddenly be dead? People in history are dead. Old people are dead. Grandparents are dead. Other people are dead. Not people like me. Not this person. The person I was married to. Had a child with. Not the person who was standing next to me. Chatting. Laughing. Being.' Shock is just one of many emotions explored in award-winning TV comedy writer Carl Gorham's account of his bereavement which is by turns deeply moving and darkly humorous. Part love story, part widower's diary, part tales of single parenting, it tells of his wife's cancer, her premature death and his attempts to rebuild his life afterwards with his six -year old daughter. Realised in a series of vivid snapshots, it takes the reader on an extraordinary journey from Oxford to Australia, from Norfolk to Hong Kong through fear, despair, pain and anger to hope, laughter and renewal. The Owl at the Window is a fresh and original exploration of what it means to lose a partner in your forties, and how Carl learned to live again.
