Book excerpt: Discover an Abundant Life in your Present Condition--- Are you tired of living in your past? Are you sick and tired of your past coming up every time you try to go up? Are you just tired of your past messing with your blessings? It may seem like your life is as good as it will get, until you discover that there is a better way. Many people still live in a past experience that hinders them from living in an abundant future. Abundant living comes in different ways depending upon what we feel true abundance means. Material abundance is nice to have, but spiritual abundance is what we must have. One of today's buzz-phrases is 'if it ain't broke, break it.' There are mind-sets that haven't yet been broken that need to be broken. One in particular, God is punishing me and that's why I'm getting what I'm getting. This type of mentality is not scriptural and I'm going to deal with it in this book. Your past may be uncomfortable, but it's not unforgivable. The scriptures doesn't tell us in all your getting, get things, but it does tell us, in all your getting, get an understanding. In knowing this, God created us to be abundant in Him, but we deviated from being complete in Him. Therefore; we must seek to understand and we will discover, How to get pass our past.
Book Synopsis Animus Rising by : Bernard X. Bovasso
Download or read book Animus Rising written by Bernard X. Bovasso and published by Author House. This book was released on 2010-02-05 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subject of Dr. Freud’s Oedipal Complex deals essentially with Fathers and sons. Neglected, however, in much psychological exegesis is something equivalent as Mothers and daughters. In the following work as much has been attempted and with special attention given to what Dr. C. G. Jung called the “animus,” the unconscious maleness of the feminine psyche. However, the animus is not limited to the feminine estate simply because it is engendered as Spirit per se and with broader implication as zeitgeist. It is thus included as an aspect of Western culture and collective consciousness. The World Animus makes its first pre-historic appearance in what is known as a “standing stone.” The giant phallus thus serves as an image exemplifying what I refer to as “Animus Rising” and, as such, not only represents a momentous event in the early period of European and Western culture but the modern culture trend especially noticeable in the U.S.A. toward a matricentrific society.
Book Synopsis White Masculinity in Crisis in Hollywood’s Fin de Millennium Cinema by : Pete Deakin
Download or read book White Masculinity in Crisis in Hollywood’s Fin de Millennium Cinema written by Pete Deakin and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: White Masculinity in Crisis in Hollywood’s Fin de Millennium Cinema claims that Hollywood cinema had a significant relationship with the millennial crisis of masculinity. From Fight Club (Fincher, 1999) and American Psycho (Harron, 2000), to Office Space (Judge, 1999), The Matrix (Wachowski’s, 1999) and American Beauty (Mendes, 1999), Pete Deakin attests that alongside the emergent “crisis” came a definitive body of some twenty-five Hollywood “crisis” titles; each film with a representational concern for the apparent “masculine malaise”. Asking whether Hollywood helped create, propel or sooth the very notion of the crisis-of-masculinity at this time, Deakin engages with some important cultural questions: how discursive—or even authentic—was it, and more vitally, whose actual crisis was this? To this end, scholars of film studies, media studies, gender studies, history, and sociology will find this book particularly useful.

Book Synopsis The New Man of the House by : Brian Gibson
Download or read book The New Man of the House written by Brian Gibson and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2022-05-11 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The modern-day suburb began, and began booming, in 19th-century Britain. As suburbia spread, the New Woman arose and fin-de-siecle concerns grew, suburban men felt more besieged. Anxieties about hygiene, pollution, purity, the home, class, gender roles, patrilineal power and the state of the Empire rippled through British fiction. The new man of the house was trying, often desperately, to hold onto the old order, changing even more rapidly as the 20th century and modernist fiction arrived. This study traces suburban masculinities in popular genres--speculative fiction, comic fiction and detective fiction--and in literary works from the late-Victorian era to the start of the First World War.
Book Synopsis Mystery of the White Lions by : Linda Tucker
Download or read book Mystery of the White Lions written by Linda Tucker and published by Hay House, Inc. This book was released on 2010-06-01 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inspiring firsthand account of one woman’s journey into African shamanism and the mysteries of the most sacred animal on the continent: the legendary White Lion In 1991, Linda Tucker was rescued from a pride of lions in the Timbavati game region by a medicine woman known as the “Lion Queen.” So began Linda’s lifelong journey into the wisdom and ceremonies of Old Africa, in which humans and lions are able to cross the species barrier. Such knowledge is in accordance with the most guarded secrets of Ancient Egypt and humankind’s greatest riddle, the Sphinx. Scientists in our day have established that humankind’s most significant evolutionary leap occurred as a result of our ancestors’ interaction with great cats. The White Lion is a genetic rarity within Panthera leo, and occurred in just one region on Earth: Timbavati. Today, White Lions form the center of the notorious “canned” trophy-hunting industry—hand-reared captive lions, shot in enclosures for gross sums of money. By contrast, shamans believe that killing a “lion sun god” is the ultimate sacrilege. How the human species treats such precious symbols of God in nature may determine how nature treats the human species. Whether we view them as prophetic “Lions of God” or simply as rare genetic mutations, the story of the White Lions is a true legend unfolding in our own extraordinary times. Inspiring, captivating, and thoroughly researched, Mystery of the White Lions is an unforgettable portrait of these magnificent beasts and of the overwhelming love that has driven Linda's every action to save them. “Through understanding the White Lion we will understand ourselves and our great role in the chain of being.” —Deepak Chopra

Book Synopsis Black Male Fiction and the Legacy of Caliban by : James W. Coleman
Download or read book Black Male Fiction and the Legacy of Caliban written by James W. Coleman and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-12-14 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With The Tempest's Caliban, Shakespeare created an archetype in the modern era depicting black men as slaves and savages who threaten civilization. As contemporary black male fiction writers have tried to free their subjects and themselves from this legacy to tell a story of liberation, they often unconsciously retell the story, making their heroes into modern-day Calibans. Coleman analyzes the modern and postmodern novels of John Edgar Wideman, Clarence Major, Charles Johnson, William Melvin Kelley, Trey Ellis, David Bradley, and Wesley Brown. He traces the Caliban legacy to early literary influences, primarily Ralph Ellison, and then deftly demonstrates its contemporary manifestations. This engaging study challenges those who argue for the liberating possibilities of the postmodern narrative, as Coleman reveals the pervasiveness and influence of Calibanic discourse. At the heart of James Coleman's study is the perceived history of the black male in Western culture and the traditional racist stereotypes indigenous to the language. Calibanic discourse, Coleman argues, so deeply and subconsciously influences the texts of black male writers that they are unable to cast off the oppression inherent in this discourse. Coleman wants to change the perception of black male writers' struggle with oppression by showing that it is their special struggle with language. Black Male Fiction and the Legacy of Caliban is the first book to analyze a substantial body of black male fiction from a central perspective.

There is also troubling evidence of unofficial connections with international wheeler-dealers. In death as in life, Blaine is a power to be reckoned with.

Book Synopsis The Intermittent by : Jerrol Paul Newell
Download or read book The Intermittent written by Jerrol Paul Newell and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-11-15 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book springs from the imagination. All characters, with the exception of Brett Michaels, and every situation and scenario are fictitious. It is not intended to depict any real person, whether living or deceased. When Brett Michaels is mentioned, it is not the person which is meant but the personality he projects both on stage and on TV. The geography of Western New York has been changed. The quotes from the movie Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid are merely used to express an emotion in an amusing way. In this depiction of an intelligent yet underachieving adult wavering between boredom and the desire for meaning in life, I have attempted to combine the commonplace with the pressing feeling that there must be something more. Danny Gables has just turned thirty years old and he is without direction. He must make a decision but any decision he makes will negate the possibility of the other. Should he commit to what is expected of him, and thus commit to his home-town ways? Or should he meander along and hold out for the possibility that life has more to offer? He spends his time chasing women and frequenting bars, which provide him with the genuine reflections that are lacking in his real life of work and routine. But one day it strikes him to begin an investigation an impractical quest for authenticity that frustrates the people that know him, compromises the tenuous condition of a loved one, and sends him on a path filled with reflections, road trips, too much drinking and general frivolity. Cynical yet droll, rich in sarcasm and brute truism, The Intermittent proves to be a lesson in existentialism.

Download or read book Patrick White written by John Colmer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-10-01 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patrick White is a giant among the moderns. His massive novels, which chart the lonely paths to truth, challenge orthodox notions about fiction and reality. He has created a wholly new kind of prose to embody his prophetic visions of truth and his fierce denunciations of modern society. Originally published in 1984, John Colmer’s study of the Nobel Prize winning Australian novelist was the first to survey all his published works. It differs from earlier studies in using fresh autobiographical material, in revealing the links between the plays and the fiction and in stressing White’s vision of duality rather than his much praised affirmations of harmony. Where previous studies have been exegetical this one is also evaluative. It illustrates the process by which White has come to recognize the necessity for the reintegration of the alienated visionary into society.
