Download or read book HIBISCUS written by Kirit Sengupta and published by Hawakal Publishers . This book was released on 2020-05-28 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the pandemic shutdown looms over us, we are reminded of those things we took for granted: for instance, hibiscus flowers, the sea, the moon, or an elderly couple at home who are still in love. Hibiscus: poems that heal and empower seeks to convey the resonating touch of the flower itself. According to Ayurveda, the flower has many medicinal uses that include but are not limited to lowering blood pressure and preventing stroke. The anthology derives its healing power from reaching across continents. It was conceived in India by acclaimed poet, editor, and translator Kiriti Sengupta. Hibiscus houses 104 poets—luminaries like Keki N. Daruwalla, Mamang Dai, Sudeep Sen, Bina Sarkar Ellias, Sanjeev Sethi, Sanjukta Dasgupta, Wang Ping, Tim Kahl, John Grey, Michael R. Burch, Claudine Nash, Gerard Sarnat, among others. Chief editor Kiriti Sengupta writes of the concept behind the book: “As a clinician, I can tell you, healing is not all about back to normalcy, or in other words, restoration of the state of being. Healing imparts strength. It renders authority.” A distinct relationship exists between healing and empowerment that this anthology intends to convey. In the introduction written conjointly between the editors: Kiriti Sengupta, Anu Majumdar, and Dustin Pickering, the roles the collection declares for itself are made apparent. Majumdar writes, “Poetry is the first language of humanity,” and “how we heal all this,” the different levels of crisis, “is the justice that will empower the world.” Sengupta writes, “In times of crisis, one may approach the issue(s) in more than one way: we can demand remedial measures, or we can opt for a therapeutic course that will alleviate our suffering. We have every right to exercise both the means, however. Hibiscus: poems that heal and empower follows the second way of addressing hardship.” Pickering himself writes of the socio-economical devastation wreaked by the virus and implies that people return to their humanity. In taking a bold stance of caution, Pickering also shows us an alternative meaning to social distancing: minding one’s own business is paramount, and we should not infringe on others. However, the anthology is rife with questions about our humanity, how we treat one another, the forgotten beauty of life, and the wonders we are surrounded by and should be concerned with preserving. It is recorded that the lockdown has helped restore the environment. Hibiscus: poems that heal and empower in its ability to navigate steep terrain—the cultural and political forces we wish to command—while transcending our pettiness to show that empowerment is possible without pretense. The anthology elicits a promising journey during this time when poetry is having a bright moment.
Book Synopsis The Present Preacher by : Liz Shercliff
Download or read book The Present Preacher written by Liz Shercliff and published by Canterbury Press. This book was released on 2021-09-30 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Good preaching depends on being attentive – to God, to the Bible, to the congregation, to the context, to what influences and shapes the preacher. This practical, confidence-building guide is for all who want to develop their preaching by homing in on that which points to God in the now. Encouraging preachers in the ways that will make authentic connections with others, it demonstrates that preaching in today’s culture requires preachers to ‘show up and be present, in person’ rather than speak 'in role' or act as religious spokespersons who take no responsibility for their message. Based on the authors’ own training of ordinands, it offers: • Insights on how to develop the habit of noticing God in the world; • Strategies for opening up and finding fresh meaning in familiar Bible texts; • Ways of understanding what influences your congregation and your own theology; • Sample sermons that embody these principles.

Book Synopsis Living Through This Pandemic by : Tom Garz
Download or read book Living Through This Pandemic written by Tom Garz and published by Tom Garz - TG Ideas LLC. This book was released on 2021-01-08 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Coronavirus (CV) Pandemic has affected all of us, in some way or another. Some of us have been diagnosed with Covid-19 and have survived. Some still have lingering symptoms. You might be what is currently called a Covid "Long-Hauler". Some have not survived. All of us, however, have been impacted psychologically and emotionally, even if we never were affected physically. If not dealt with, the Stress we now feel these days might develop into lingering Covid Mental Health Issues and/or Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). At the time of this writing, we are almost a year into this Pandemic. We are receiving conflicting information on the Pandemic, Politics, the Economy, and many other aspects of our daily living. All this is overwhelming, at least for me. Maybe for you too. Time will tell how this pandemic will linger on in our lives physically, mentally, and maybe even spiritually as the days, weeks, months, and years go on. This book might at least give you some ideas and/or resources for now and in the future, if needed. This book is probably not for those who are thriving in the current situations we are all in at this time. This book is more for those who are slogging through each day, just like me - learning to live "Just for Today".

Book Synopsis A Disrupted World by : Dr Sukant Das
Download or read book A Disrupted World written by Dr Sukant Das and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2022-06-10 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A mysterious virus from China takes the whole world in its grip within weeks, creating an unprecedented global pandemic. Third year into the pandemic, the world is still grappling to know mysteries behind origin of the virus. Did it come from the Wuhan animal market? Did it leak from the Wuhan Institute of Virology? Was it accidental or deliberate? With millions of lives lost, billions of lives shattered, and trillions lost in economy, geopolitical power equations are being rewritten every other day. In the spectre of a post-pandemic disruption, can the humbled superpower the United States of America, hold itself as the leader of free nations or lose its dominance to a resurgent China? The meticulously researched book ‘A Disrupted World,’ covers such tantalising topics in a gripping manner. It then unravels grim milestones in India’s tryst with the pandemic, the unlearnt lessons from the first wave that ultimately led to a catastrophic second wave, leaving behind a trail of despair, devastation, and death. It also highlights the plight of the common man caught between a pandemic on the one hand and an infodemic on the other, his world shattered by fear, loss, and grief. The book touches upon the basics of the structure of the virus and its variants, highlighting the amazing science behind the development of Covid 19 vaccines in record time, reiterating the dangers arising out of emerging variants and critically asking how long the existing vaccines can save us from these emerging variants? And how far are we from the arrival of an elusive cure? And finally, it takes us all through the most pertinent question- Can we ever win the war against the pandemic, or Will it go on forever?
