Download or read book Metamorphosis: written by Robyn Apffel and published by Author House. This book was released on 2014-10-25 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Metamorphosis: A Poetry Manual for Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse is designed to lead the reader to self-awareness and self-expression. The chapters are arranged chronologically, guiding the reader through early childhood, adolescence, courtship and marriage, body issues, and into recovery. Each chapter begins with remarks that provide personal context and ends with writing prompts that lead the reader to think about her own situation, to react emotionally, and to write poems in expressing her own story and emotions. As the reader becomes a writer, she will find the voice she needs to experience healing. Written over the three-year course of psychotherapy, Metamorphosis is a book of transformation. The frightened, distrustful child becomes a confident adult, capable of active participation in life and relationships. She can look at her history and claim it as her truth and cast aside the pretense and lies that she had formerly been forced to live. She can separate herself from her abuser and hold him accountable for his actions, freeing herself from the blame that had wrongfully been placed upon her. She can find the happiness and satisfaction she deserves. This book can be a valuable tool to use in conjunction with or following professional therapy. It can be used not only by survivors of childhood sexual abuse, but also by their partners in life, their friends and family, educators, law enforcement personnel, religious counselors, and even by abusers or potential abusers. Anyone who wishes to understand the effects of childhood sexual abuse can gain much insight by considering the pages of Metamorphosis: A Poetry Manual for Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse.
Download or read book Beyond Yourself written by Angela Crow and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2019-08-12 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is my story of how God brought good out of a very bad situation in my life and brought me back from a dark path, into His marvelous light. He saved me from myself, an abusive relationship, and so much more. This book should come with a warning label to the people in my life who had no clue about the secret life I was living before I became a Christ follower. My life as a Christ follower began in 2013 after a life-changing year of tragedy and heartbreak, not to mention a few broken bones and losing both parents only six days apart. I firmly believe God saved me for a reason and that He has a purpose and plan for my life. He showed me a different path than I had ever traveled before. Once I realized how to be still, listen to God, and allow the Holy Spirit to work in my life, I found my purpose in writing the messages He gives me, and I enjoy sharing them to encourage others and lead them to Christ. He used a horrible year to change my life forever. I felt compelled to write this book not only for my own healing, but if even one person who reads it is touched, inspired, or encouraged in some way, it is worth it. I find it very ironic that God has me revealing the things I hid for so long. My life is not my own. I was purchased with His blood. I believe it is my duty to respect my body, guard my heart, and put on the whole armor of God every day as I surrender myself to Him in every way. As a faithful servant of Christ, I am humbled and grateful for His grace and forgiveness.

Download or read book How Forests Think written by Eduardo Kohn and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2013-08-03 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can forests think? Do dogs dream? In this astonishing book, Eduardo Kohn challenges the very foundations of anthropology, calling into question our central assumptions about what it means to be human—and thus distinct from all other life forms. Based on four years of fieldwork among the Runa of Ecuador’s Upper Amazon, Eduardo Kohn draws on his rich ethnography to explore how Amazonians interact with the many creatures that inhabit one of the world’s most complex ecosystems. Whether or not we recognize it, our anthropological tools hinge on those capacities that make us distinctly human. However, when we turn our ethnographic attention to how we relate to other kinds of beings, these tools (which have the effect of divorcing us from the rest of the world) break down. How Forests Think seizes on this breakdown as an opportunity. Avoiding reductionistic solutions, and without losing sight of how our lives and those of others are caught up in the moral webs we humans spin, this book skillfully fashions new kinds of conceptual tools from the strange and unexpected properties of the living world itself. In this groundbreaking work, Kohn takes anthropology in a new and exciting direction–one that offers a more capacious way to think about the world we share with other kinds of beings.
Book Synopsis Living Beyond Yourself by : Paul Hillman
Download or read book Living Beyond Yourself written by Paul Hillman and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2021-02-17 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The focus of this book, Living Beyond Yourself is a self motivated book, as it relates to Self Esteem, and Self Motivation. It's a book that let the readers discover a new look about themselves, different from how the World sees them. Many people put their pictures on Facebook, Whatsapp, Twitter, Instagram etc: because they are looking for comments, and likes, while some refused to show their pictures, because they think less of themselves. However, it's not about what people think, or the many likes. It's about what the person think of himself, or herself. Imagine someone received one thousand likes, yet the person refused to love himself! What difference would he made? This book was written with the tools, and for you to see yourself for who yo u really are. A book about self confidence, self control, and to take your mind to another level of thinking. It is to remind you that you were fearfully, wonderfully, and perfectly created. This means, there's no mistake about the person you really are. The world's imagination is for you to see yourself different. It's the World desire to label you, and to price you, then change your value. However, Living Beyond Yourself is to live beyond how the World sees you. Because you were perfectly created, no one can have your shape, or your finger print. No one can have your D.N.A. The reason so is, you are different. This also means: you are different to make a difference. You might cause a problem to some people. If they cannot solve you, surely, you will be their problem solver. You were born to be their problem solver. There's a different you in the person that you are. You have the power from within to discover the new you. After reading this book, you will begin to have a new look f rom the inside out. This is my sixth book, and a "Must Read".

Download or read book Wild with Child written by Jennifer Bové and published by Travelers' Tales. This book was released on 2010-05-25 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wild with Child is a unique collection of true stories by parents who boldly head out into the wilderness with kids in tow (or in the lead, as the case may be). These stories run the gamut of adventure: winter camping, climbing, spelunking, field research, skiing, llama trekking, fishing, hunting, and searching for pirate treasure with children of all ages. Readers should bundle up before they strike out into the Rocky Mountains with Mark Jenkins, whose idea of quality time with the kids is camping in a snow cave. Leslie Leyland-Fields shares deep gratitude as her brood safely migrates to an Alaskan island by bush plane. Maleesha Speer confides her personal evolution as she awakens to the wonder of her unborn child in bear country. Whether just beginning the course of wild parenting or looking back at the trail they've taken, these writers aren't willing to accept Disneyland as the final frontier. Even the most civilized among them insist that their children grow up feeling grass between their toes and sun on their skin. It’s a healthy heritage, giving kids a steady set of bearings, making them strong, and helping them rise to challenges.

Book Synopsis Educating for Eternity by : Brett Salkeld, Ph.D.
Download or read book Educating for Eternity written by Brett Salkeld, Ph.D. and published by Our Sunday Visitor. This book was released on 2023-01-09 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An authentic Catholic education does more than prepare workers for the job market or turn out model citizens. It forms people who can change the world — not in spite of their desire for God and their hope for heaven, but because of it. As a Catholic educator, you have a monumental task, but the good news is that you’re not alone. In Educating for Eternity: A Teacher's Companion for Making Every Class Catholic, Brett Salkeld, Ph.D., explains the role of Catholic anthropology in education and accompanies Catholic teachers in integrating the Faith into all aspects of the curriculum. From math and science to health and social studies, every subject can and should be taught from a Catholic worldview. And in doing so the true purpose of Catholic education is fulfilled. For teachers, this isn’t “one more thing” to do in the classroom — this is a new approach to everything you’re already doing in the classroom. No matter what class or age you teach, Educating for Eternity presents a truly effective way to explain and model eternal truths to your students. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Brett Salkeld, Ph.D., is archdiocesan theologian for the Archdiocese of Regina, in Canada. He earned his Ph.D. in systematic theology from Regis College at the Toronto School of Theology and has a bachelor’s degree in education from the University of Regina, where he studied to become a social studies and math teacher. He has worked with graduate and undergraduate education students and with Catholic teachers in various professional development settings, including an online course for ThinkCatholic. He lives in Regina, Saskatchewan, with his wife, Flannery, and their seven children.
Book Synopsis Knowledge from the World Beyond by : Sondra Perlin Zecher
Download or read book Knowledge from the World Beyond written by Sondra Perlin Zecher and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2020-06-30 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Together, Charles E. Zecher and Sondra Perlin Zecher have nearly 100 years of experience studying the metaphysical and the paranormal. Over the years, they would meet with their colleagues in the Coral Spring (FL) Metaphysical Group where esteemed clairvoyant Sondra, would enter a deep trance and channel her spirit guide. Members of the group would communicate directly with the spirit guide, asking questions on some of the universe’s greatest mysteries. The information received from the guide’s answers to more than 2500 questions provided the basis for this book. These sessions covered a variety of topics that will intrigue readers including: reincarnation, karma, human evolution, life after death, ghosts, angels, the future, religion, God, creation, unsolved mysteries, the prehistoric world, extraterrestrials, the unseen, Atlantis, current world events, conspiracies, secret societies etc. The responses do not necessarily echo the authors’ beliefs. Instead, they simply showcase the information that was channeled through Sondra. Many will be surprised by the answers they find in Knowledge from the World Beyond. Hopefully many assumptions, concerns and skepticisms will be laid to rest. Likewise, as the book is read, the reader will be left with many new unanswered questions. Sondra is probably best known as "The "Son of Sam Psychic". Years ago she provided law enforcement with the information that enabled them to apprehend David Berkowitz.

Book Synopsis Writing from Within: The Next Generation by : Bernard Selling
Download or read book Writing from Within: The Next Generation written by Bernard Selling and published by Turner Publishing Company. This book was released on 2012-05-08 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everybody has something to say. In an age when Twitter, blogs, and Tumblrs give millions the chance to write whatever is on their minds, it seems that we're finding plenty of avenues in which to share it. How, then, do we write what is worth saying? How do we record our important memories so they'll be remembered? How do we tell our personal stories the way they deserve to be told? In keeping with successful earlier editions of Writing from Within, Selling has stressed the idea that personal writing is a means to personal understanding. Learning to write well starts with the subjects we know the best—ourselves. To write life stories, writers explore vivid memories and re-engage with the perspectives of their younger selves. They learn to harness their inner critics and deal with fear. They use their creative drive to remember details from their most significant memories. The process of life story writing is as much one of self-discovery as it is one of nostalgia. These emotional connections to memories provide the backbone for Selling's writing instruction. In this 25th anniversary edition of Writing from Within, the original lessons of life story writing are included and significantly expanded upon. Readers are given guidance on finding their earliest memories and on remembering details vividly. Writing instruction is offered to accompany this process and ensure that readers' life stories are full of clear, accurate memories. The core focus of the book is on unlocking memories and writing them as life stories. However, this Anniversary edition also provides substantial new material on: Story pacing techniques Strategies for subtly adding exposition and denouement Revealing and unraveling character Writing stories within stories Developing unique voices within the same story Researching and writing family histories Expanding life story writing into novels or screenplays Advanced steps like creating visual motifs, employing sub-text, and separating the writer from the central character Draft samples will show readers how their life stories will grow using the Writing from Within method. Excerpts from past students' life stories show the potential of the method. Personal notes to readers keep them on track and their goals in perspective. Writing from Within: The Next Generation invites readers to find their voices and helps them along the way to doing so. As much a tool for personal reflection as a guide to writing instruction, the book represents a comprehensive discussion of the creative process. Writers, new and old, will write with more skill, understand themselves and their characters better, and be able to turn their life experiences into art. So, learn to harness your inner critic. Construct your own writing process. Open the door to your past. Give the characters voices. Breathe some life into your story and leave something so future generations can get to know you.
Book Synopsis The Philosophy of Ontological Lateness by : Keith Whitmoyer
Download or read book The Philosophy of Ontological Lateness written by Keith Whitmoyer and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-09-07 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Addressing Merleau-Ponty's work Phenomenology of Perception, in dialogue with The Visible and the Invisible, his lectures at the Collège de France, and his reading of Proust, this book argues that at play in his thought is a philosophy of “ontological lateness”. This describes the manner in which philosophical reflection is fated to lag behind its objects; therefore an absolute grasp on being remains beyond its reach. Merleau-Ponty articulates this philosophy against the backdrop of what he calls “cruel thought”, a style of reflecting that seeks resolution by limiting, circumscribing, and arresting its object. By contrast, the philosophy of ontological lateness seeks no such finality-no apocalypsis or unveiling-but is characterized by its ability to accept the veiling of being and its own constitutive lack of punctuality. To this extent, his thinking inaugurates a new relation to the becoming of sense that overcomes cruel thought. Merleau-Ponty's work gives voice to a wisdom of dispossession that allows for the withdrawal of being. Never before has anyone engaged with the theme of Merleau-Ponty's own understanding of philosophy in such a sustained way as Whitmoyer does in this volume.
