Book Synopsis God, Sex, Drugs & Other Things by : Howard Frankl
Download or read book God, Sex, Drugs & Other Things written by Howard Frankl and published by NewSouth Books. This book was released on 2016-05-18 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Howard Frankl's God, Sex, Drugs and Other Things begins with three essays on subjects found in the title: one essay on drugs, one on sex and one on God. The "Other Things" turn out to be Money and Murder, and there is an essay on each of these topics. The book comes to a close with a short epilogue on the reality that holds the whole work together, call it compassion, call it universal salvation, or just call it Love. Writer Ernesto Cardenal calls this "a bold book ... In it are things writers don’t dare say. Only God. And he has said them in the Bible. But since we read the Bible so often, those things don’t shock us. They shock us when someone says the same things in a new way. This is an orthodox book, but to some it will not seem so, because it presents the dogmas with a freshness and originality we’re not used to."
Book Synopsis Recapture the Rapture by : Jamie Wheal
Download or read book Recapture the Rapture written by Jamie Wheal and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2021-04-27 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A highly personal, richly informed and culturally wide-ranging meditation on the loss of meaning in our times and on pathways to rediscovering it.” —Gabor Maté, MD, author of In The Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters With Addiction A neuroanthropologist maps out a revolutionary new practice—Hedonic Engineering—that combines the best of neuroscience and optimal psychology. It’s an intensive program of breathing, movement, and sexuality that mends trauma, heightens inspiration and tightens connections—helping us wake up, grow up, and show up for a world that needs us all. This is a book about a big idea. And the idea is this: Slowly over the past few decades, and now suddenly, all at once, we’re suffering from a collapse in Meaning. Fundamentalism and nihilism are filling that vacuum, with consequences that affect us all. In a world that needs us at our best, diseases of despair, tribalism, and disaster fatigue are leaving us at our worst. It’s vital that we regain control of the stories we’re telling because they are shaping the future we’re creating. To do that, we have to remember our deepest inspiration, heal our pain and apathy, and connect to each other like never before. If we can do that, we’ve got a shot at solving the big problems we face. And if we can’t? Well, the dustbin of history has swallowed civilizations older and fancier than ours. This book is divided into three parts. The first, Choose Your Own Apocalypse, takes a look at our current Meaning Crisis--where we are today, why it’s so hard to make sense of the world, what might be coming next, and what to do about it. It also makes a case that many of our efforts to cope, whether anxiety and denial, or tribalism and identity politics, are likely making things worse. The middle section, The Alchemist Cookbook, applies the creative firm IDEO’s design thinking to the Meaning Crisis. This is where the book gets hands on--taking a look at the strongest evolutionary drivers that can bring about inspiration, healing, and connection. From breathing, to movement, sexuality, music, and substances--these are the everyday tools to help us wake up, grow up, and show up. AKA--how to blow yourself sky high with household materials. And the best part? They’re accessible, by anyone anywhere, no middleman required. Transcendence democratized. The final third of the book, Ethical Cult Building, focuses on the tricky nature of putting these kinds of experiences into gear and into culture—because, anytime in the past when we’ve figured out combinations of peak states and deep healing, we’ve almost always ended up with problematic culty communities. Playing with fire has left a lot of people burned. This section lays out a roadmap for sparking a thousand fires around the world--each one unique and tailored to the needs and values of its participants. Think of it as an open-source toolkit for building ethical culture. In Recapture the Rapture, we’re taking radical research out of the extremes and applying it to the mainstream--to the broader social problem of healing, believing, and belonging. It’s providing answers to the questions we face: how to replace blind faith with direct experience, how to move from broken to whole, and how to cure isolation with connection. Said even more plainly, it shows us how to revitalize our bodies, boost our creativity, rekindle our relationships, and answer once and for all the questions of why we are here and what do we do now? In a world that needs the best of us from the rest of us, this is a book that shows us how to get it done.

Book Synopsis DETERMINED MEANS: Going From Victim to Victor! by : Carol Bright
Download or read book DETERMINED MEANS: Going From Victim to Victor! written by Carol Bright and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-02-27 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Determined Means: Going from Victim to Victor speaks about demeaning and abusive behaviors in all environments and in all walks of life as it relates to all types of abuse. This book addresses the habits and mindsets of the victim, as well as the characteristics and habits of the abuser. In outlining the process of healing, the mindset and determination of the victim to survive and be successful through practicing safe measures and God’s Word are emphasized along with what “in our nature” causes us to sin. This book instructs us as individuals how to endure trauma and embrace healing and safety measures. As with any victim, they realize it becomes increasingly more difficult to trust others and hold on to sanity during times of great suffering, pain and abuse. We begin to doubt our self worth, allow others to dictate everything to us, value other peoples’ opinion over our own. These are just a few of the issues we wrestle with daily in the complexity of abuse. I struggled with all of these issues most of my life. One human being should never have control over another, especially in unhealthy ways. This book distinguishes the difference between healthy and unhealthy relationships, habits and boundaries and why we need to put them into place. These are the most significant barriers to healthy relationships and without them often give the perpetrator “mixed signals”. We can do all we can and still experience tragedy. As you read this book and learn the “Psychology” of our existence and creation, you will understand the need for this “real life safety net” pertinent to your life as a whole.
Book Synopsis From the Monastery to the World by : Thomas Merton
Download or read book From the Monastery to the World written by Thomas Merton and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2018-12-11 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas Merton and Ernesto Cardenal were both poets and priests, wholly committed to a life of spiritual contemplation which was never far from the gritty work that lead them to risk life and reputation in order to raise worldwide consciousness concerning issues of social justice and the abuse of human rights. From the Monastery to the World collects the complete correspondence between these spiritual men and dedicated activists, translated into English for the first time. The letters in this book, written between Merton and Cardenal from 1959–1968, give us fascinating insights into the early spiritual and political awakenings of eventual Sandinista and exponent of liberation theology Ernesto Cardenal, who was then a novice leaving the Trappist Monastery in Kentucky where he first met Merton. While making the long trip home to Nicaragua to build a utopian artist's commune on the Island of Solentiname, Cardenal rubs elbows with some of Latin America's greatest writers and artists of that time. In From the Monastery to the World, Cardenal is still a hungry pupil, years away from becoming the internationally renowned poet–statesman and Nicaraguan Minister of Culture. Here we see the poet and monk Thomas Merton as a wise, patient, and sometimes even humbled mentor, during the years when he was still shaping and collecting the raw materials for such writings as: "The Way of Chuang Tzu", "Raids on the Unspeakable", and "Conjectures of a Guilty Bystander". Merton and Cardenal's correspondence grants readers an audience to conversations between two men deeply connected by their vigorous endeavors toward spiritual freedom, voracious intellectual appetites, and artistic exploration despite the cultural differences, language barriers, and geographic distances which divide them.
Book Synopsis The Gift of Knowing by : J. Alexander Rutherford
Download or read book The Gift of Knowing written by J. Alexander Rutherford and published by Teleioteti. This book was released on 2019-02-27 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To any attentive observer, the Western world is in serious trouble. It shows the signs of languishing under a devastating disease. This is clearer nowhere else than in the realm of epistemology, the study of truth and how we attain it. Here, the belief in human autonomy—the freedom of individual men and women to interpret the world and live within it as they see fit—has slowly eroded any foundation for knowledge or morality. The result is a society adrift, floating wherever the tide might take it. If the disease ravaging our society is the belief in human autonomy, the cure is submission once again to the God who created this world, at least that is the argument of the Gift of Knowing. The author argues that apart from submission to God as He has revealed Himself in the Christian Bible, there is no firm foundation for truth or a trustworthy way of attaining it. However, through His revelation in Scripture, God has given His people a foundation for knowing the world He has created and living within it.

Book Synopsis One Simple Equation by : David N. Heizer
Download or read book One Simple Equation written by David N. Heizer and published by Elm Hill. This book was released on 2020-03-17 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book One Simple Equation will take the reader on an inventive journey exploring Christian faith by introducing a revolutionary mathematical equation. An equation that helped the author, a devout atheist for forty-two years, discover and understand with complete clarity the truth of the Gospel and the power of God’s love. After coming to the realization that some of the greatest most promising theories in modern science share the same narrative as the Biblical description of creation, God placed on author David Heizer’s heart an equation that would ultimately bring him to Jesus Christ. The equation ?F=TL?^3 is a simple expression of Christian faith. It is of profound importance that this book is rooted in God’s love and His greatest expression of that love, Jesus Christ. The reader will learn why a mathematical expression of Christian faith illustrates our belief in God and Christ as our saviour so concisely. All people understand Mathematics making it a universal language understood by all regardless of race, nationality, ethnicity or language. 1+1=2 is the same for all human beings. Math is also the language of God as all things in the universe, God’s creation, can be expressed mathematically from the swirling motion of the planets and stars and the human genome to the computer programs and phone apps we use every day. This fascinating equation will reveal to the reader Biblical truth and understanding. Inspired by Einstein’s theory of relativity and God himself the equation is broken down into three simple terms: F representing Faith, what we are solving for. T representing Trust which is a variable that changes from one day to the next, and L representing God’s Love a steadfast never changing never failing constant we can all rely on. Raising God’s love to the power of three represents the Trinity, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The more Trust we apply to God’s love, the greater our faith becomes. Read the testimonies of people getting through life’s most difficult challenges by placing their trust in God’s love. The reader will then be taken through a series of chapters that replace the constant love of God with other idolatrous terms such as money, material possessions, addictions and the self and how these temporary corruptible terms fail at producing a sound faith on which to build life giving principles. This one simple equation unlocks the meaning of life and answers one of the most difficult questions facing Christians today, “How can a loving God allow bad things to happen to good people?” This simple yet profound illustration of our faith reveals all this and much more.

Taken together, they will show just how poignantly the sacred moves in all of our lives.
