Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preparing for Resurrection is a book of modern fables and parables which were created to be cognitive exercises for inspiration, motivation, and transformation. The author's creative writing may be used as a professional tool for clergy, catechists, and life coaches, or simply as entertaining personal reading. These stories also work well for 12 Step programs and other discussion groups. The book contains a topical index and a sample study guide, as well as a table of contents. It is divided into seven topical sections: The Human Condition and Saving Grace; Parenting, Trauma and Conditioning; Doubt and Fear; Character and Maturity; Purpose and Hope; Faith and Finances; and Transformation. The stories and fables are sequenced to flow from cover to cover for the individual reader, but may be taken out of context for professional use. The topical index is provided as a guide for multiple applications for various groups, secular or religious. Several may be used to assist entrepreneurs in understanding the development of a business plan. Some double as children's stories, though they were written primarily for adults. All assist individuals and groups in raising awareness and seeing new perspectives and possibilities, often giving practical advice in a simple creative format which may be more effective than the direct, confrontational approach. Thus, the stories themselves become a form of cognitive behavioral therapy. These stories take on several forms. Some, like "All Ears," are a riddle as well as a fable. Others, such as "The Breakfast Trilogy" are vignettes. Theses are mixed in with several fables and parables, from "The Woman Who Turned into a Box," to "The Mouse Who Learned How to Fly." There is even a round of poetic prose in the thumbnail short, "The Gentle Breeze." Each has its own personal message. Everyone will find themselves hidden somewhere in this book!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this splendid introduction to the elusive rhetorical device central to the New Testament picture of Jesus, Charles Hedrick explores the nature of the parable and its history of use. He asks basic questions such as, what is a parable? is Jesus really the author of the parables? and what does a parable mean? and then reviews a range of sources--from Aesop's fables to modern New Testament scholarship--to answer them. He also surveys the various ways the parables have been approached in literary criticism throughout history, giving specific examples of each method and delineating their strengths and weaknesses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fables and Fabulists: Ancient and Modern is a book by Thomas Newbigging. It provides the reader with an analysis of classic Greek fables. Excerpt: "Fables treat of the follies and weaknesses, and also of the nobler qualities, of humankind, generally[8] through the medium of the lower animals and the members of the vegetable and natural kingdom. These are made to represent the characters we find in human life. Curious, that although it is chiefly the lower animals and inanimate things that are made the vehicle of the instruction or reproof contained in the story, we do not feel that there is any incongruity in these having the power of speech."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hope for the Flowers: A must read during this time of the corona virus and civil unrest in 2020. Caterpillars, Butterflies, Life & a real Hope Revolution THE WORLD HAS BEEN COCOONING; LET US EMERGE WITH HOPE. We have all lived through months of strange relationships with ourselves and the world around us. Virtual gatherings have become the norm, while the pain, uncertainty and injustice goes on. What will our new normal possibly become? What new work? How can we do our part to heal the world from whatever limited space we have? How can our United States truly be one nation under God with liberty and JUSTICE FOR ALL? “What might I do to help others during this global crisis? Is likely still your question as well as still mine. I will continue to offer my e-book for $2.99 with my hope that it can strengthen hope and courage in each of you and your children. We will need all we can get! If inspired, please join our Facebook group - Hope (For the Flowers) Revolution. Maybe we can inspire each other to build the better world that's possible. My hope for us is that, like our caterpillar heroes, Stripe and Yellow, we transform in the darkness of the cocoon to something new and totally unexpected. May we each find a way to use this time of darkness to light the way to justice and peace in the world. May we discover our own new beauty as we discover the beauty in our differences. May we each discover our purpose and live with passion this thing called life, while we still can. “How does one become a butterfly” Yellow asks pensively. “You must want to fly so much That you are willing to give up being a caterpillar.” I can't think of anything more transformational and radical than the change that happens when a lowly caterpillar worm becomes a flying beautiful butterfly. And it doesn't end with flying! They find their true purpose, to carry the pollen of love from one flower to another and receive in return the sweet nectar that keeps them alive. What wondrous exchange! Sharing is the answer to so much! I'm so grateful the story seems to reach every culture, and over 3 million have loved and shared the paper version in English and countless more in other languages for 50 years. May each of us and the world flourish after this strange dark cocoon of isolation.

Book excerpt: This edition of the Fables and Parables has been reset from the original book from 1846 which was published by James Burns in London.The original spelling and grammar have been intentionally retained in order for the reader to get a feel for the culture of the time. As mentioned in the original introduction above, these fables were originally written in German and here translated into English. The editor of this edition came across this little book whilst researching for a translation of Texan history. Such a book would have undoubtedly been read to the family on Sundays and holidays and perhaps accompanied the early pioneer on his travels and daily work. They encourage and amplify the courage and strength which those early immigrants to Texas would have needed in order to be able to survive and prosper.Numbers 1 to 73 were written by Lessing, numbers 96 to 112 by Krummacher.I have added some notes based on information contained in the online encyclopedia for additional information at the end of the book.I hope you enjoy these meaningful tales as much as I have whilst composing this edition.From the original introduction:This little volume contains a selection of Fables and Parables from the German of Lessing, Herder, Krummacher, and others—few of which have hitherto been placed before the English Public—but which, when known, can hardly fail to amuse and instruct readers of every class. They possess too a specific value as being the product of the most reflecting people of modern times, and of one whose genius is particularly adapted to this kind of writing. Many of those pieces, and especially the allegorical Parables of Herder, are marked by great beauty of expression; while those of Lessing again, are amongst the best models of the Fable, strictly so called. Profound truths appertaining to the practical conduct of life are throughout.

Download or read book Victorian Parables written by Susan E. Colon and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2012-02-09 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The familiar stories of the good Samaritan, the prodigal son, and Lazarus and the rich man were part of the cultural currency in the nineteenth century, and Victorian authors drew upon the figures and plots of biblical parables for a variety of authoritative, interpretive, and subversive effects. However, scholars of parables in literature have often overlooked the 19th-century novel, assuming that realism bears no relation to the subversive, iconoclastic genre of parable. In this book Susan E. Colòn shows that authors such as Charles Dickens, Margaret Oliphant, and Charlotte Yonge appreciated the power of parables to deliver an ethical charge that was as unexpected as it was disruptive to conventional moral ideas. Against the common assumption that the genres of realism and parable are polar opposites, this study explores how Victorian novels, despite their length, verisimilitude, and multi-plot complexity, can become parables in ways that imitate, interpret, and challenge their biblical sources.
