Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Seventh Telling is a journey into the Kabbalah, a spiritual discipline hidden within the folds of Jewish history. Stephanie and Sidney have been studying with Moshe Katan, a kabbalist who shared his learning only when he perceived that a kabbalistic intervention might be necessary to save the life of Rivkah, his wife. What has happened to Moshe and Rivkah we do not know, only that their house is now being used for an extraordinary storytelling, a spiritual discipline to share with those willing to risk examining the very core of their beliefs.

By the age of sixteen, Camelia was a nationally celebrated poet, and at eighteen she was one of the youngest reformist journalists in Tehran.

Book Synopsis The Seven Basic Plots by : Christopher Booker
Download or read book The Seven Basic Plots written by Christopher Booker and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2005-11-11 with total page 737 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This remarkable and monumental book at last provides a comprehensive answer to the age-old riddle of whether there are only a small number of 'basic stories' in the world. Using a wealth of examples, from ancient myths and folk tales via the plays and novels of great literature to the popular movies and TV soap operas of today, it shows that there are seven archetypal themes which recur throughout every kind of storytelling. But this is only the prelude to an investigation into how and why we are 'programmed' to imagine stories in these ways, and how they relate to the inmost patterns of human psychology. Drawing on a vast array of examples, from Proust to detective stories, from the Marquis de Sade to E.T., Christopher Booker then leads us through the extraordinary changes in the nature of storytelling over the past 200 years, and why so many stories have 'lost the plot' by losing touch with their underlying archetypal purpose. Booker analyses why evolution has given us the need to tell stories and illustrates how storytelling has provided a uniquely revealing mirror to mankind's psychological development over the past 5000 years. This seminal book opens up in an entirely new way our understanding of the real purpose storytelling plays in our lives, and will be a talking point for years to come.

Book Synopsis What God Is Now Telling His Prophets About the End Times by : Apostle Frederick E. Franklin
Download or read book What God Is Now Telling His Prophets About the End Times written by Apostle Frederick E. Franklin and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2013-03-12 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is our second book. When we wrote our first book concerning the end times, we were living in Montgomery, Alabama of the United States. Since we wrote the first book we have moved with our three children, Elijah Jeremiah Ezekiel, Daniel Isaiah and Rebekah Anna Franklin. Even before we finished writing the first book, God told us that we would write this book also. A certain saint ,preacher and prophet came to us with a message from God. He prophesied many things that God would use us to do. Part of the prophecy was that we would write another book. He visited us with this prophecy in the second half of the year 1994. This was a surprising prophecy to us. We thought that the first book would be the only one we would write. We had given all we had to give in this book. On February 1, 1995 while in prayer, between 5:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m., God spoke to us directly and said that we would write another book. This was a very special week for us. The day before, January 31, 1995, our oldest son Elijah Jeremiah Ezekiel Franklin had his fifth (5th) birthday. On February 2, 1995 he was filled with the Holy Ghost, evidenced by speaking in other tongues and baptized in the name of Jesus. This was a burden lifting experience for us. We had been praying every day since before he was born for him to be born again and now, finally, it had happened. God had told us a few days before of some great work in the ministry that he would use us for. A day after Elijah was filled with the Holy Ghost, he prophesied of the very thing God had told us a few days earlier. We had not told him, neither could he have known what God had told us. As we have said, this is the second book we have written. Both of these books are related to the end times. We write this book as a kind of companion book to the first book. Our first book has as its title, Proof That Your Leaders Have Deceived You And The End Times. This, our second book, unlocks many mysteries concerning the end times which God revealed to us. After you read this book, the scriptures concerning the end times will no longer be hard to understand. In fact, the Book of Revelation and other end time prophesy scriptures will be some of the easiest scriptures to understand in the Holy Bible. What we provide you in this book is not something concerning the end times that is theorized and taught by man as others have written, but we provide you revelation and understanding from the throne of God. In fact, others dont make this claim, but we proclaim that the words we write are from God. If any words that are spoken are written be contrary to what we write, they are lies. We have received from God and we have received again from God for confirmation. Our words line up with Gods words in the Holy Bible and they must, otherwise they also would be lies. WILL YOU BELIEVE? Regrettably, the answer is NO of most of you in the United States. However, the answer is YES for a certain number in the United States. We thank God! Also, the answer is YES for great multitudes in many places other than in the United States. We rejoice! Without God providing us this revelation and wisdom, we neither would know and could write anything. So we, appropriately, write this book for the Lord God Almighty JESUS praise, glory, honor, tribute, thanks, worship, will, pleasure and for the salvation of souls.
Download or read book Tell It True written by Tim Lockette and published by Seven Stories Press. This book was released on 2021-09-28 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An unlikely high school newspaper editor fights to cover a local murder case and learns what is most important in friendship, in journalism, and in life. Lisa Rives had higher expectations for sophomore year. Her beauty queen mom wonders why she can't be more like other 15-year-old girls in their small Alabama town. Lisa's Dad, well, she suspects he's having an affair with a colleague at his top-secret job. Her friend Preethy seems to be drifting away, and Lisa spends her schooldays dodging creepy boys and waiting to graduate. Then she finds herself in charge of her high school newspaper, which is the last thing she wanted--school newspapers are for popular kids and club-joiners, not outcasts like her, and besides, the stories are never about anything you actually want to know. But after accidentally tipping the scales in the school election, then deciding to cover a "real" story--the upcoming execution of a local man charged with murder--and becoming a surprise news story herself, Lisa learns some hard lessons about friendship and truth-telling. As Lisa navigates the dilemmas, challenges, and unintended consequences of journalism, she finds her life--and her convictions--changing in ways she couldn't have imagined. Tell It True is a sometimes hilarious, sometimes devastating, always relatable coming-of-age story about the importance of speaking the truth in a world of denial and fake news.
Book Synopsis Telling Maya Tales by : Gary H. Gossen
Download or read book Telling Maya Tales written by Gary H. Gossen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-12-02 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Telling Maya Tales offers an experimental ethnographic portrait of the San Juan Chamula, the largest and most influential Maya community of Highland Chiapas, in the late twentieth century--the era of the Zapatistas. In this collection of essays, the author, whose field work in the area spans two generations of anthropological thought, explores several expressions of Tzotzil ethnic affirmation, ranging from oral narrative to ritual drama and political action. His work covers the current era, when the Chamula Tzotzils mingle chaotically and sometimes violently with the social and political space of modern Mexico--most recently, in the context of the Maya Zapatista movement of 1994.

Book Synopsis Telling, Turning Moments in the Classical Political World by : Jan H. Blits
Download or read book Telling, Turning Moments in the Classical Political World written by Jan H. Blits and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2011 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Turning, Telling Moments in the Classical Political World examines developments in the classical political world which are both turning and telling moments. All the moments--from Theseus's founding of Athens to Augustus's establishment of the Principate--possess the double character of being turning points and revealing fundamental aspects of the ancient political world. While most books on ancient history are chiefly concerned with questions of literary sources and historical accuracy, this book deals with the significance of the facts and reports themselves. Blits treats the ancient histories as works of reflection rather than works of research. Instead of focusing on whether, or how, the ancient historians meet the professional standards of present-day historiography, Blits reveals the way they themselves understand-and intend us to understand-the ancient world.
Book Synopsis Fortune Telling by Cards by : P.R.S Foli
Download or read book Fortune Telling by Cards written by P.R.S Foli and published by BoD - Books on Demand. This book was released on 2023-01-30 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " This goddess Fortune frustrates, single-handed, the plans of a hundred learned men." In this saying the Latin author has given us the key to all the restless striving to search out the Unknown and the Unknowable which marks our own age, just as it has marked previous periods in history which we are apt to look back upon as being but little removed from the dark ages. Of all the methods by which men and women seek to penetrate into the mysteries of Fate and Futurity, Cartomancy is one that can claim the distinction of having swayed the human mind from prehistoric times right down to this twentieth century of ours. It may be that this book will fall into the hands of those who agree with the words of L’Estrange: "there needs no more than impudence on the one side and a superstitious credulity on the other to the setting up of a Fortune-teller." This attitude of cynical superiority is sometimes genuine, but in many cases if we could read what lies beneath the surface we should find that it is but a cloak worn to conceal a lurking fear, an almost irritated condition of mind, born of a half-confessed faith in the power at which it is so easy to scoff...."

Detective Joe Ashworth and his daughter Jessie are swept along in the jostling crowd onto the Metro. But when the train is stopped due to the bad weather, and the other passengers fade into the swirling snow, Jessie notices that one lady hasn't left the train: Margaret Krukowski has been fatally stabbed. Arriving at the scene, DI Vera Stanhope is relieved to have an excuse to escape the holiday festivities. As she stands on the silent, snow-covered station platform, Vera feels a familiar buzz of anticipation, sensing that this will be a complex and unusual case. Then, just days later, a second woman is murdered. Vera knows that to find the key to this new killing she needs to understand what had been troubling Margaret so deeply before she died - before another life is lost. She can feel in her bones that there's a link. Retracing Margaret's final steps, Vera finds herself searching deep into the hidden past of this seemingly innocent neighborhood, led by clues that keep revolving around one street...Harbour Street. Told with piercing prose and a forensic eye, Ann Cleeves' gripping novel explores what happens when a community closes ranks to protect their own-and at what point silent witnesses become complicit.

Book excerpt: God didn’t design the Seder to put your kids to sleep. Instead, the Seder is an experience your family should love, treasure and remember. Have you ever wondered that there might be something more to Passover, the Seder and in the Haggadah—something that just might hold the secrets to living the life of joy and meaning that you were intended to? In The Telling, Mark Gerson, host of The Rabbi’s Husband podcast and renowned Jewish philanthropist, shows us how to make the Seder the most engaging, inspiring, and important night of the Jewish year. By using this book, you’ll be able to: · Lead the Seder with wisdom, confidence and fun that guests will remember · Make the Haggadah burst alive with insight for our opportunities, questions and challenges · Show Gentile friends the richness of the Jewish tradition · Instill a lasting love of Judaism within your children · Bring your family closer together and closer to God The Telling will enable you to see what the Haggadah really is: The Greatest Hits of Jewish Thought. This understanding will enable you to provide your guests with the most interesting, insightful and practically helpful night of the year—with teachings and lessons that will continue to brighten in the year to come. What leaders are saying about The Telling: Senator Joseph Lieberman: In The Telling, Mark Gerson brilliantly illuminates some of the big questions from the Haggadah whose answers can define what constitutes a meaningful life. By showing how the Haggadah enables its readers to deploy ancient Jewish wisdom to help answer the most contemporary questions, this book will help your Pesach to be what it can be: a life-guiding event, every year, for anyone who learns enough to give it the opportunity. Yossi Klein Halevi, Author of Letters to My Palestinian Neighbor and Like Dreamers Once a year, shortly before Pesach (emphatically not Passover!), Mark Gerson steps out of his role as a world-class entrepreneur and becomes a teacher of Torah—or more precisely, of the Haggadah. Those sessions have become legendary, and this book helps explain why. Here is Gerson's inimitable voice—passionate, erudite and most of all deeply in love with Jewish wisdom. Read this book to understand why the Haggadah has endured as a seminal Jewish text and why it remains no less relevant today than when it was first written. Gordon Robertson - CEO, The Christian Broadcasting Network "The Telling is the perfect introduction for those desiring to explore this aspect of Jewish life. This book is full of knowledge and thought-provoking questions and answers to the many mysteries that surround this sacred Jewish holiday." Sarah Waxman - Founder, At the Well "Just when I thought I knew everything about the Haggadah, I opened up Mark's book, and sure enough, I found myself thinking differently, questioning, and wrestling with big new ideas. I am excited to bring these ideas forward to my family's Seder and meaningful conversations all year round." Pastor Judy Shaw - Judy Shaw Ministries "As believers, there is so much we can gain from the story of the Exodus Passover, when God brought the children of Israel out of bondage by His mighty hand. With the powerful book The Telling by Mark Gerson, you will learn from a Hebrew perspective many hidden aspects of the Passover story that will bless your life. Get ready to encounter the God of the miraculous like you never have before!"
Download or read book The First Tycoon written by T.J. Stiles and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2010-04-20 with total page 738 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER WINNER OF THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD In this groundbreaking biography, T.J. Stiles tells the dramatic story of Cornelius “Commodore” Vanderbilt, the combative man and American icon who, through his genius and force of will, did more than perhaps any other individual to create modern capitalism. Meticulously researched and elegantly written, The First Tycoon describes an improbable life, from Vanderbilt’s humble birth during the presidency of George Washington to his death as one of the richest men in American history. In between we see how the Commodore helped to launch the transportation revolution, propel the Gold Rush, reshape Manhattan, and invent the modern corporation. Epic in its scope and success, the life of Vanderbilt is also the story of the rise of America itself.
