Book Synopsis A Step from Death by : Larry Woiwode
Download or read book A Step from Death written by Larry Woiwode and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2009-02-17 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Larry Woiwode's literary fame began with his first novel, the 1969 classic What I'm Going to Do, I Think, and continued unabated through his brilliant 2000 memoir What I Think I Did. In this deeply affecting follow–up to the latter, Woiwode addresses his son as heir to his emotional interior. With vibrant wordcraft and a poetic sensibility, Woiwode begins his story by relating a near–death experience with a malfunctioning hay baler — the kind of mistake that can kill a novice farmer. This episode is the first skein in a rich tapestry of memories, from colorful snippets of Woiwode's time in New York as a young writer working with the late, great William Maxwell, to his days as a young father, husband, and teacher trying to scrape enough together to buy a ranch in western North Dakota, and finally to the prospect of an empty nest and the step from death that he finds rapidly approaching.

Book excerpt: "I sentence you to a total of eighty years in the Department of Corrections. " The judge struck the desk with his gavel. Considered hopeless by the court system and labeled by society as worthless, twenty-four-year-old Dixie Pebworth was banished to a prison yard that was labeled in the 1980's as a "gladiator school." Odds were that Dixie would never get out of prison alive. But, God looked at his heart. Following a series of miracles, Dixie walked out of prison a free man. The greatest miracle is how God took a child raised by the streets - who had not been fortunate enough to have been taught morals and values - and transformed him spiritually, mentally, and physically into a man who is reaching thousands with the good news of God's love. If you feel that you or someone you love is in a hopeless situation, this book will give you hope. If you feel abandoned, this book will help you know you're not alone. If you wonder if people can ever "really" change, this book will surprise and inspire you to believe that God can change anyone whose heart seeks after Him. THIS STORY MAY CHANGE YOUR LIFE!

Book excerpt: In Death Step, author Felicia Richardson addresses questions and topics for which many people have sought answers and spent a lifetime seeking explanations. She explores solutions to these ageless questions through chapters titled: Can I trust God?; Where am I?; Is my will really important?; Can we do it our way?; and Will God change his will? Richardson presents a commentary on scripture and the Bible and offers a common-sense approach to its interpretation, drawing conclusions applicable to everyday life. In this thought-provoking journey, Richardson shares her ideas and experiences to challenge others to move into further study. Geared toward both Christians and non-Christians, she brings to the forefront proven truths and the need for individual and personal relationships with ones creator and respect for his plan and will. Death Step shares Richardsons personal realization of the significance of yielding the human will to Gods will. She speaks of first seeking Gods will and then following his plan for ones life and taking the death step.

Download or read book Die Wise written by Stephen Jenkinson and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2015-03-17 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Wise does not offer seven steps for coping with death. It does not suggest ways to make dying easier. It pours no honey to make the medicine go down. Instead, with lyrical prose, deep wisdom, and stories from his two decades of working with dying people and their families, Stephen Jenkinson places death at the center of the page and asks us to behold it in all its painful beauty. Die Wise teaches the skills of dying, skills that have to be learned in the course of living deeply and well. Die Wise is for those who will fail to live forever. Dying well, Jenkinson writes, is a right and responsibility of everyone. It is not a lifestyle option. It is a moral, political, and spiritual obligation each person owes their ancestors and their heirs. Die Wise dreams such a dream, and plots such an uprising. How we die, how we care for dying people, and how we carry our dead: this work makes our capacity for a village-mindedness, or breaks it.

Book Synopsis Death, Gender and Ethnicity by : David Field
Download or read book Death, Gender and Ethnicity written by David Field and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-01-04 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Death, Gender and Ethnicity examines the ways in which gender and ethnicity shape the experiences of dying and bereavement, taking as its focus the diversity of ways through which the universal event of death is encountered. It brings together accounts of how these experiences are actually managed with analyses of a range of representations of dying and grieving in order to provide a more theoretical approach to the relationship between death, gender and ethnicity. Though death and dying have been an increasingly important focus for academics and clinicians over the last thirty years, much of this work provides little insight into the impact of gender and ethnicity on the experience. The result is often a universalising representation which fails to take account of the personally unique and culturally specific experiences associated with a death. Drawing on a range of detailed case studies, Death, Gender and Ethnicity develops a more sensitive theoretical approach which will be invaluable reading for students and practitioners in health studies, sociology, social work and medical anthropology.
Download or read book This Party's Dead written by Erica Buist and published by Unbound Publishing. This book was released on 2021-02-18 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if we responded to death... by throwing a party? By the time Erica Buist’s father-in-law Chris was discovered, upstairs in his bed, his book resting on his chest, he had been dead for over a week. She searched for answers (the artery-clogging cheeses in his fridge?) and tried to reason with herself (does daughter-in-law even feature in the grief hierarchy?) and eventually landed on an inevitable, uncomfortable truth: everybody dies. While her husband maintained a semblance of grace and poise, Erica found herself consumed by her grief, descending into a bout of pyjama-clad agoraphobia, stalking friends online to ascertain whether any of them had also dropped dead without warning, unable to extract herself from the spiral of death anxiety... until one day she decided to reclaim control. With Mexico’s Day of the Dead festivities as a starting point, Erica decided to confront death head-on by visiting seven death festivals around the world – one for every day they didn’t find Chris. From Mexico to Nepal, Sicily, Thailand, Madagascar, Japan and finally Indonesia – with a stopover in New Orleans, where the dead outnumber the living ten to one – Erica searched for the answers to both fundamental and unexpected questions around death anxiety. This Party’s Deadis the account of her journey to understand how other cultures deal with mortal terror, how they move past the knowledge that they’re going to die in order to live happily day-to-day, how they celebrate rather than shy away from the topic of death – and how when this openness and acceptance are passed down through the generations, death suddenly doesn’t seem so scary after all.

Book Synopsis The Death of Oliver Cromwell by : H.F. McMains
Download or read book The Death of Oliver Cromwell written by H.F. McMains and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-10-21 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries, rumors have circulated in England that Lord Protector Oliver Cromwell did not die of natural causes. Now, in a fascinating book that reads like a historical whodunit, we have a motive, a means, a murderer (complete with his own deathbed confession), and a supporting cast that includes John Milton and Andrew Marvell. Almost from the moment of Cromwell's death in 1658, writers and biographers have dismissed suspicions of foul play as little more than the result of a powerful person's unexpected demise. They have assumed that at age fifty-nine Cromwell was in generally poor health and that his government's collapse was inevitable. But his family was generally long-lived and, contrary to royalist wishes, his government was becoming established. As the crucial first step toward the restoration of the Stuart monarchy in 1660, his death proved to be a turning point in British history. In a wide-ranging investigation that draws upon the fields of history, toxicology, medical forensics, and literature, H.F. McMains offers a fresh reading of evidence that has sat quietly in libraries and archives for more than two centuries. He examines the development of Cromwell's illness in 1658, analyzes his symptoms, and evaluates persons with motive, method, and opportunity to do him harm. The result is a reassessment of Cromwell's relationship with the English people and their government and a convincing investigation of his mysterious death.
Book Synopsis Numbered Lives by : Jacqueline Wernimont
Download or read book Numbered Lives written by Jacqueline Wernimont and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2019-01-01 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A feminist media history of quantification, uncovering the stories behind the tools and technologies we use to count, measure, and weigh our lives and realities. Anglo-American culture has used media to measure and quantify lives for centuries. Historical journal entries map the details of everyday life, while death registers put numbers to life's endings. Today we count our daily steps with fitness trackers and quantify births and deaths with digitized data. How are these present-day methods for measuring ourselves similar to those used in the past? In this book, Jacqueline Wernimont presents a new media history of western quantification, uncovering the stories behind the tools and technologies we use to count, measure, and weigh our lives and realities. Numbered Lives is the first book of its kind, a feminist media history that maps connections not only between past and present-day “quantum media” but between media tracking and long-standing systemic inequalities. Wernimont explores the history of the pedometer, mortality statistics, and the census in England and the United States to illuminate the entanglement of Anglo-American quantification with religious, imperial, and patriarchal paradigms. In Anglo-American culture, Wernimont argues, counting life and counting death are sides of the same coin—one that has always been used to render statistics of life and death more valuable to corporate and state organizations. Numbered Lives enumerates our shared media history, helping us understand our digital culture and inheritance.
