Book Synopsis Reaching Forever by : Philip C. Kolin
Download or read book Reaching Forever written by Philip C. Kolin and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-02-01 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reaching Forever is Philip C. Kolin’s ninth collection of poems, the sixth to focus entirely on spiritual poetry. Like the poet’s most recent book, Benedict's Daughter: Poems (2017), the poems in this new collection are anchored in Scripture. Organized according to major Christian topics—sheep, water, God's names, eschatology—Reaching Forever is ripe with scriptural parables, symbols and imagery, settings, allusions, and speakers ranging from God to biblical characters to contemporary figures. Consistent with the Poiema Series, these poems open the “windows” of faith. But they are not simple catechesis. Rather, they “leap over the sills,” to quote D. S. Martin, providing new ways of looking at Holy Writ and applying them to today's world—to see the sacred in the daily. Undeniably the most distinctive feature of Reaching Forever is the large number of poems set in the contemporary world, but contextualized through the Bible. For instance, a poem on the polyandrous Samaritan woman is paired with one about a homeless woman in a large city who also has had many husbands and children. A long litany poem about God's appearances in Scripture is followed by one on catadores (garbage pickers) who hear rumbling below the filth and wonder what God’s voice is saying. A short poem on the riches of Cana seques to a spiritual lyric about monks who transform donors’ pennies into bread for the poor.

Book Synopsis Forever for All by : R. Michael Perry
Download or read book Forever for All written by R. Michael Perry and published by Universal-Publishers. This book was released on 2000 with total page 648 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book considers the problems of death and the hereafter and how these ages-old problems ought to be addressed in light of our continuing progress. A materialistic viewpoint of reality is assumed, denying the likelihood of supernatural or other superhuman assistance. Death, however, is not seen as inevitable or even irreversible; it is maintained that the problem can and should be addressed scientifically in all of its aspects. The book thus follows recent, immortalist thinking that places hopes in future advances in our understanding and technology. A functionalist, reductionist argument is developed for the possibility of resurrecting the dead through the eventual creation of replicas and related constructs. Meanwhile, it is urged, medical advances leading to the conquest of biological death should be pursued, along with cryonics: freezing the newly deceased for possible, eventual reanimation. A common ground thus is sought between two hitherto largely independent strands of scientific immortalism, the one based on hopes in a remote but hyperadvanced future, the other on the nearer-term prospects of presently advancing technology. The resulting philosophy, encompassing both past and future, is directed toward the long-term interests of each sentient being, and it thereby acquires a moral dimension. The immortalization of humans and other life-forms is seen as a great moral project and labor of love that will unite us in a common cause and provide a meaningful destiny. A rational and thorough exploration of human potential. Few have considered, much less visualized, the profound changes set to occur over the next few decades through exponential advances in science and philosophy. Mike Perry has, and he shares his vision with eloquence. --Jim Halperin, author of The Truth Machine and The First Immortal.

Book excerpt: Reaching Forever is Philip C. Kolin''s ninth collection of poems, the sixth to focus entirely on spiritual poetry. Like the poet''s most recent book, Benedict''s Daughter: Poems (2017), the poems in this new collection are anchored in Scripture. Organized according to major Christian topics--sheep, water, God''s names, eschatology--Reaching Forever is ripe with scriptural parables, symbols and imagery, settings, allusions, and speakers ranging from God to biblical characters to contemporary figures. Consistent with the Poiema Series, these poems open the ""windows"" of faith. But they are not simple catechesis. Rather, they ""leap over the sills,"" to quote D. S. Martin, providing new ways of looking at Holy Writ and applying them to today''s world--to see the sacred in the daily. Undeniably the most distinctive feature of Reaching Forever is the large number of poems set in the contemporary world, but contextualized through the Bible. For instance, a poem on the polyandrous Samaritan woman is paired with one about a homeless woman in a large city who also has had many husbands and children. A long litany poem about God''s appearances in Scripture is followed by one on catadores (garbage pickers) who hear rumbling below the filth and wonder what God''s voice is saying. A short poem on the riches of Cana seques to a spiritual lyric about monks who transform donors'' pennies into bread for the poor. ""From Reaching Forever''s wide-ranging collection of lyrics, midrash, and narratives--characters from the street, from the Bible, from nature--I choose to begin with Philip C. Kolin''s figure of water, for I have long been a disciple of water''s spiritual lessons. But his River and Gulf are wonderfully strange to me, transformed into keepers of sacred mysteries. The opening poem, ''Baptism, '' declares that the artist''s ''canvas/must be submerged/to be seen, '' a paradox affirming the Creator''s vision over what is ''real'' in the human world. Later a powerful chiasm closes ''River Burial'': ''But submerged sins keep coming back to shore;/the river returns the remains of the dead each night.'' What is not of God and what has not been in right relation with God will not enjoy God''s paradoxical gnosis. I am haunted by the word ''submerged, '' the ''dipping under'' that represents hiddenness and revelation at once. If, as in ''Let Their Be Land, '' the tombstones cannot be read ''because no one can find them, '' how will we gain initiation into these mysteries? A gorgeous passage from ''Soft Sifting, '' late in the collection, portends: Our passing was meant to be a soft sifting like an ark with holes returning us to earth after each seeping rain. And in ''When God Arrives, '' we are told, ''you realize you do not/have to wear/your body anymore.'' From its mysterious, paradoxical title to its unifying voice, Reaching Forever is a moving, expansive meditation on the ''already'' as also the ''not yet.''"" --Martha Serpas, author of The Diener ""Even while writing within the tradition of the twentieth-century''s Christ-haunted literature of the southern United States, Philip C. Kolin gives us poems that help us hear ''God''s voices'' in the twenty-first century. Flannery O''Connor''s readers needed to be reminded that even escaped convicts could be instruments of grace. Our Age needs to be reminded that priests can be as well. Benedictine ''monks are God''s bakers of grace'' delivering loaves of bread to ''halfway/houses, shelters, nursing homes, jails.'' Fr. Derivaux ministered to the imprisoned in Parchman Penitentiary, who wear ''striped habits / to sigh the name of Jesus.'' A retired pastor from New Orleans'' Church of the Holy Spirit ''looks the way/I think God would want to look'' during the funeral of a friend. Yet Kolin is not sentimental in the least in his apocalyptic hopefulness. This volume is peppered like ''dark-roux gumbo'' with wolves, scarecrows, serpent tattoos, black boys in the Ohio River, making us even more in awe of Kolin''s faith that we could Reach, in the sense of ''arr

Book Synopsis The Forever Sea by : Joshua Phillip Johnson
Download or read book The Forever Sea written by Joshua Phillip Johnson and published by Astra Publishing House. This book was released on 2021-01-19 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book in a new environmental epic fantasy series set in a world where ships kept afloat by magical hearthfires sail an endless grass sea. On the never-ending, miles-high expanse of prairie grasses known as the Forever Sea, Kindred Greyreach, hearthfire keeper and sailor aboard harvesting vessel The Errant, is just beginning to fit in with the crew of her new ship when she receives devastating news. Her grandmother—The Marchess, legendary captain and hearthfire keeper—has stepped from her vessel and disappeared into the sea. But the note she leaves Kindred suggests this was not an act of suicide. Something waits in the depths, and the Marchess has set out to find it. To follow in her grandmother’s footsteps, Kindred must embroil herself in conflicts bigger than she could imagine: a water war simmering below the surface of two cultures; the politics of a mythic pirate city floating beyond the edges of safe seas; battles against beasts of the deep, driven to the brink of madness; and the elusive promise of a world below the waves. Kindred finds that she will sacrifice almost everything—ship, crew, and a life sailing in the sun—to discover the truth of the darkness that waits below the Forever Sea.

Download or read book Forever Finite written by Kip K. Sewell and published by Rond Books. This book was released on 2023-08-01 with total page 828 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INFINITY IS NOT WHAT IT SEEMS… Infinity is commonly assumed to be a logical concept, reliable for conducting mathematics, describing the Universe, and understanding the divine. Most of us are educated to take for granted that there exist infinite sets of numbers, that lines contain an infinite number of points, that space is infinite in expanse, that time has an infinite succession of events, that possibilities are infinite in quantity, and over half of the world’s population believes in a divine Creator infinite in knowledge, power, and benevolence. According to this treatise, such assumptions are mistaken. In reality, to be is to be finite. The implications of this assessment are profound: the Universe and even God must necessarily be finite. The author makes a compelling case against infinity, refuting its most prominent advocates. Any defense of the infinite will find it challenging to answer the arguments laid out in this book. But regardless of the reader’s position, Forever Finite offers plenty of thought-provoking material for anyone interested in the subject of infinity from the perspectives of philosophy, mathematics, science, and theology.
Download or read book Fluent Forever written by Gabriel Wyner and published by Harmony. This book was released on 2014-08-05 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • For anyone who wants to learn a foreign language, this is the method that will finally make the words stick. “A brilliant and thoroughly modern guide to learning new languages.”—Gary Marcus, cognitive psychologist and author of the New York Times bestseller Guitar Zero At thirty years old, Gabriel Wyner speaks six languages fluently. He didn’t learn them in school—who does? Rather, he learned them in the past few years, working on his own and practicing on the subway, using simple techniques and free online resources—and here he wants to show others what he’s discovered. Starting with pronunciation, you’ll learn how to rewire your ears and turn foreign sounds into familiar sounds. You’ll retrain your tongue to produce those sounds accurately, using tricks from opera singers and actors. Next, you’ll begin to tackle words, and connect sounds and spellings to imagery rather than translations, which will enable you to think in a foreign language. And with the help of sophisticated spaced-repetition techniques, you’ll be able to memorize hundreds of words a month in minutes every day. This is brain hacking at its most exciting, taking what we know about neuroscience and linguistics and using it to create the most efficient and enjoyable way to learn a foreign language in the spare minutes of your day.
