Book Synopsis Through My Own Eyes by : Susan D. Holloway
Download or read book Through My Own Eyes written by Susan D. Holloway and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2001-12-21 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shirl is a single mother who urges her son's baby-sitter to swat him when he misbehaves. Helena went back to work to get off welfare, then quit to be with her small daughter. Kathy was making good money but got into cocaine and had to give up her two-year-old son during her rehabilitation. Pundits, politicians, and social critics have plenty to say about such women and their behavior. But in this book, for the first time, we hear what these women have to say for themselves. An eye-opening--and heart-rending--account from the front lines of poverty, Through My Own Eyes offers a firsthand look at how single mothers with the slimmest of resources manage from day to day. We witness their struggles to balance work and motherhood and watch as they negotiate a bewildering maze of child-care and social agencies. For three years the authors followed the lives of fourteen women from poor Boston neighborhoods, all of whom had young children and had been receiving welfare intermittently. We learn how these women keep their families on firm footing and try--frequently in vain--to gain ground. We hear how they find child-care and what they expect from it, as well as what the childcare providers have to say about serving low-income families. Holloway and Fuller view these lives in the context of family policy issues touching on the disintegration of inner cities, welfare reform, early childhood and pro-choice poverty programs.

Download or read book With My Own Eyes written by Bo Giertz and published by New Reformation Publications. This book was released on 2017-06-30 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bo Giertz wrote this book drawing upon the exegetical insights that he received from his mentor Anton Fridrichsen before, during and after his trip to Palestine in the early 1930's. The book is a third-person retelling of the gospels that brings into account various Old Testament references and the contemporary interpretations of those passages by the Jews of Jesus' day as well as contemporary events throughout the Roman Empire, but most especially those directly affecting the Jewish people of Israel at the time, so that the gospel stories take on new life and meaning for the reader. It's both a harmonization of the gospels, and a commentary on them, but much richer. The perspectives change depending on the episode. Sometimes the perspective is from that of a disciple, sometimes from that of a person being healed or a bystander observing. The Christmas story is told from the perspective of Shepherds, the crucifixion scene dwells on the perspective of Simon of Cyrene.

Book Synopsis With My Own Eyes by : Susan Bordeaux Bettelyoun
Download or read book With My Own Eyes written by Susan Bordeaux Bettelyoun and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1999-08-01 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With My Own Eyes tells the history of the nineteenth-century Lakotas. Susan Bordeaux Bettelyoun (1857–1945), the daughter of a French-American fur trader and a Brulé Lakota woman, was raised near Fort Laramie and experienced firsthand the often devastating changes forced on the Lakotas. As Bettelyoun grew older, she became increasingly dissatisfied with the way her people’s history was being represented by non-Natives. With My Own Eyes represents her attempt to correct misconceptions about Lakota history. Bettelyoun’s narrative was recorded during the 1930s by another Lakota historian, Josephine Waggoner. This detailed, insightful account of Lakota history was never previously published.
Book Synopsis With Thine Own Eyes by : Ronald Tomanio
Download or read book With Thine Own Eyes written by Ronald Tomanio and published by George Ronald Publisher Limited. This book was released on 2015-09-07 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this wonderfully practical and human book, we are invited to turn our attention towards investigating our spiritual reality. Ronald Tomanio, Diane Iverson and Phyllis Ring describe how that experience is met and encountered and why it is indescribably fulfilling - the very purpose for which we were created. Drawing on a letter of the Universal House of Justice of 19 November 1974 that provides a possible sequence that such an investigation of reality might follow, the authors explore the process - and pitfalls - that we can encounter along the way. Some of the steps identified by the authors that can guide the soul safely along the road of development include: * setting aside blind imitation of the past * learning to build the good rather than fighting evil * choosing acts of service commensurate with our spiritual understanding * listening carefully to our intuitive voice * knowing our purpose * regarding our fears as illusory and * acquiring a sin-covering eye.

Book Synopsis Degas Through His Own Eyes by : Michael F. Marmor
Download or read book Degas Through His Own Eyes written by Michael F. Marmor and published by Somogy Editions D'Art. This book was released on 2002 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does one account for the change in style of Edgar Degas' work during the latter half of his life? Starting in 1870, why did the artist gradually adopt such a different style, so removed from the meticulous precision of his initial painting? Using scientific analysis, this original book compares the painter's canvases as we view them at present in museums, with how Degas saw them: evermore hazily, with failing vision. It shows the consequences that the deterioration of Degas' sight had on the evolution of his style. Surprising and innovative in the quality of its illustrations, this book yields new insight into the relationship between art and science.

Book Synopsis Europe in Its Own Eyes, Europe in the Eyes of the Other by : David B. MacDonald
Download or read book Europe in Its Own Eyes, Europe in the Eyes of the Other written by David B. MacDonald and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2014-04-23 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is Europe? Who is European? What do Europe and European identity mean in the twenty-first century? This collection of sixteen essays seeks to answer these questions by focusing on Europe as it is seen through its own eyes and through the eyes of others across a variety of cultural texts, including sport, film, literature, dance, cartography, and fashion. These texts, as interpreted here by emerging researchers as well as well-established scholars, enable us to engage with European identities in the plural and to understand what these identities mean in larger cultural and political contexts. The interdisciplinary focus of this volume permits an exploration of European identity that reaches beyond the area of European studies to incorporate understandings of identity from the viewpoints of both insider and other. Contributors explore diverse understandings of what it means to be “other” to a country, a culture, a society, or a subgroup. This book offers a fresh perspective on the evolving concept of identity—in the context of Europe’s past, present, and future—and expands on the existing literature by considering the political tensions and social implications of the development of European identity, as well as its literary, artistic, and cultural manifestations.

Download or read book With Fresh Eyes written by Karen Wingate and published by Kregel Publications. This book was released on 2021-10-26 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What miracles do we miss when we close our eyes to the wonder of everyday moments? In this busy, jaded world of ours, we often take for granted what we see every day. We may set aside time to spend with God in a quiet room, but we struggle to see his hand in a traffic jam or while walking the dog. But for Karen Wingate, sight itself is something extraordinary, and what our eyes can reveal is even more astounding. Karen lived most of her life with severely limited sight due to a cluster of disorders stemming from a genetic defect. But through the chance outcome of a surgery, she regained sight in one eye that doubled her visual acuity--and allowed her to see things she had never seen before. And as she discovered a more detailed world for the first time, she also began to see God in every new discovery--from the prosaic numbers of a bathroom scale to the glory of sunsets. With Fresh Eyes invites readers to not only celebrate the gift of their own sight but also reawaken the wonder of what they observe in creation--great and small--and how God is working in everyday moments. In each of her sixty meditations, Karen's humor and whimsy draw a connection between physical sight and spiritual understanding that will leave readers with a renewed joy and delight in what is good and beautiful, and will reassure them that God still works in the lives of his people.
