Download or read book Victory (eBook) written by Elza Meyer and published by Christian Art Publishers. This book was released on 2009-06-15 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For some people the Bible is filled with images and historical events that don’t seem to be relevant or applicable to our day and age. In VICTORY Elza Meyer shows that the exact opposite is in fact true. In this book the author emphasizes certain timeless biblical concepts and shows how these age-old truths affect modern-day believers. Based on a vision she had one night, she urges believers to take the Bible, and the God of the Bible, seriously. Only then can they expect to be abundantly blessed. VICTORY encourages believers to look to the God of the universe and to live according to His values. Then they will triumph over the red horse of war, the black horse of famine, and the pale horse of death (Rev. 6:1-8).
Book Synopsis So What? Now What? The Anthropology of Consciousness Responds to a World in Crisis by : Matthew C. Bronson
Download or read book So What? Now What? The Anthropology of Consciousness Responds to a World in Crisis written by Matthew C. Bronson and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2009-05-05 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The greatest crisis of our times in a failure of the human imagination.” -Editors The world is currently undergoing a period of unprecedented crises on virtually every front: economic, ecological, and humanitarian. It is starkly apparent that a shift is needed in our dominant structural systems – and that by addressing the collective thinking that has created and maintained these systems, scholars can do their part to catalyze such a shift. The interdisciplinary field known as the Anthropology of Consciousness offers important insights for enacting this necessary shift. This book draws on the work of a group of diverse scholars to explore what the intersection of anthropology and consciousness studies can contribute to the “public turn” within anthropology and the academy in general. Its twelve chapters span disparate geographies and disciplinary frameworks, yet cohere in their focus on common themes such as imagination, empathy, agency, dialogue, and ethics. The answers to the question “So What? Now What?” differ for a linguistic anthropologist in the South Pacific, an environmental educator in Hawai‘i, a grant-writing anthropologist serving a refugee agency in Portland, Oregon and the founder of a girls’ school in Brazil. Nevertheless, they are united in the desire to reframe the anthropology of consciousness as an “anthropology of conscience,” and this pioneering volume is the result.
