Book Synopsis Nursery Rhymes for Adult Spiritual Enrichment by : Roman New
Download or read book Nursery Rhymes for Adult Spiritual Enrichment written by Roman New and published by Roman New. This book was released on 2016-04-25 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Worldwide, rhymes have been recited to children for generations. These rhymes are familiar to the masses, but behind the lyrical prose was information and insight into the world those children and their parents were living in. Nursery Rhymes for Adult Spiritual Enrichment is a collection of 39 notable rhymes that are aimed at connecting adult readers to history, most notably, the years leading up to the signing of the Declaration of Independence and its impact on Great Britain then and shortly thereafter. While many can recite these rhymes verbatim, few, if any, have learned the secrets behind the words. They are more than fun lyrics and memorable tunes; they are rich in history and rooted in the realities of what life was like at that time. Not only will you gain insight into the world so long ago, but you will come to understand the spiritual connection between the rhymes and the undeniable perseverance of a people besieged by tragedy, yet deeply rooted in their faith and in their quest to hold on to joy in a world that offered few opportunities to experience it.

Book Synopsis Seeking Spirit Beyond the Bottle by : Helen Sherry
Download or read book Seeking Spirit Beyond the Bottle written by Helen Sherry and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2004-06-29 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in an addictive society in which compulsiveness has become an art form, and most people have dependencies of some sort. This book was written to help all dependent people learn ways to follow a spiritual path, even if their dependencies might be one of those potentially less severe than alcoholism or drug addiction: such as workaholism, materialism, excessive anxiety, or relationship difficulties. To quote from the author: People these days talk seriously of addictions to television, the Internet, or to acquiring material possessions. These are usually self involved occupations. It’s as though humanity knows somehow that joy is their natural state, but they lack the ability to open enough to experience it. They are seeking comfort and joy in all the wrong places. This memoir tells the story of three generations afflicted with alcoholism and its effects on family and friends. It chronicles the author’s growing up with an alcoholic mother in the middle of the twentieth century, and her own later development of the same illness despite her strong commitment to avoid this. It describes the methods she has used to remain in recovery over twenty seven years, and includes information learned from her twenty plus years of working as an addictions’ counselor, and from her ongoing relationships with an alcoholic spouse and an emotionally disabled son. This book speaks to issues of import to much of humanity, such as abandonment, the need for safely and security in an insecure world, the need to give control back to a spiritual source, the need for forgiveness of self and others, and the primary need to find Spirit within and not without. To quote again from Ms. Sherry’s words: I no longer think of God as dwelling in heaven, wherever that might be. As a child, heaven seemed to be a place above the sky. However, even though I now know more of the facts about our Universe, I still can’t identify a place called heaven. Today I also acknowledge the fact that our Universe may not be the only one that exists. Consequently, I think of Spirit as being a power that exists not only beyond the Universe, but at the same time exists and resides in us all. The author clearly and humanly identifies the eclectic combination of spiritual tools she had put in place in her life. Her message will speak to those with addictions, but also to those who simply wish to avoid dependencies and to change, grow, and evolve.

Book Synopsis Spirit Possession, Modernity & Power in Africa by : Heike Behrend
Download or read book Spirit Possession, Modernity & Power in Africa written by Heike Behrend and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Africa as well as in Europe, many spirits and their mediums are part of local as well as global cultures. Christian spirits named Hitler, Mussolini, or King Bruce (Bruce Lee) flourish in a pantheon of new holy spirits in Uganda waging war against the government. Spirits of airplanes, engines, guitars, and angels are found in Central Africa; and thunder, snakes, and rain as well as playboys and prostitutes inhabit the spirit world in West Africa. Spirit possession cults have continued to proliferate, even in the secular West, and continue to be a subject of intense interest. Despite the continuous expansion of the field, some problems are only now beginning to be explored. The experts in this volume focus on questions of power, the history and inner dynamics of cults, the role of gender and images of the other, based on research conducted during the last fifteen years in Africa. The contributors document changes taking place across the continent as possession beliefs and practices respond to new circumstances and address the shifting local implications of an increasingly global socio-economy. Gender, ethnicity, and class are examined as intersecting forces and features of spirit phenomena. The case studies presented are richly contextualized: history, social organization and upheaval, alternative religious options--all are considered relevant to an understanding of possession forms. Contributors: Leslie Sharp, Heike Behrend, Adeline Masquelier, Mathias Krings, Jean-Paul Colleyn, Alexandra O. de Sousa, Susan Kenyon, Tobias Wendl, Ute Luig, and Linda Giles Co-published with James Currey Publishers, U.K. The Wisconsin edition is not for sale in the United Kingdon, the traditional British Commonwealth (excepting Canada), nor in Europe.

Book Synopsis From My Heart & Soul to Yours by : Lashawna Foster
Download or read book From My Heart & Soul to Yours written by Lashawna Foster and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-07 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I would like to dedicate this book to the Late-Hazel Bell Wheeler Page who encouraged and started this writing process for me. It started over 30 years ago when I went to visit my Grandmother on a regular basis and to find so many children books in one particular room. I was fascinated and intrigued of the nursery rhymes and the pictures in the book. I was always in a corner with a book in my hand and the rest of the world was tuned out for hours. This led to me entering school spelling bee contests, doing crossword puzzles with my Uncle Harold and I started putting my thoughts on paper. Reading and writing was another form of expression for me to describe what I was feeling and going through in different phases of my life which led to this book. This book of poems is a translation of my life or people around me. It depicts events and situations that have happened throughout my lifetime. My Grandmother encouraged me through the years and after she passed away, motivated me to pursue my dreams. As a young adult I participated in Church Welcomes, Church Anniversaries and Appreciations with my writing and I have compiled my poems together. I literally pray about the occasion because I want the poem to inspire, motivate, and encourage my listeners. Each poem plays a vital role in the person I am today which led me to the title of my book, "From My Heart and Soul to Yours." Words are so powerful, that over the years I had to learn to be careful, of what I release to the universe, because it could be damaging to the person on the receiving end. People can sometimes receive your words incorrectly that is why it is so easy for me to put my thoughts on paper. I have come to find out that the voids in my life; God has filled with positive influences in my life. These positive influences have impacted in more ways than they can imagine. I personally would like to thank God for giving me this gift to minister through writing. I want to thank my Mom who is the epitome of my hard work, my sister Kenya, who exemplifies living out your dreams and my Uncle Shawn who teased me in a good way for being a book worm during my childhood. I want to thank my brothers-Odies, EJ and Reginald. I was touched by an Angel, my daughter, LaShara, who started my first poem, "Grown Before My Time" and making me the woman I am today. My personal family which consists of the Wheeler's, Page and Robinson's who have impacted my life genetically. I want to thank my paternal grandmother, Delores, for keeping in touch with me and the relationship you were determined to continue. My church family at Daytona Deliverance Church of God in Daytona Beach, Florida, my Pastor's Bishop QT Wallace and Elga Wallace, my best friend and sister, Melissa, my cousin and son, Brandon, my cousins, Mark and Shawanda, Ms. Mattie and Carmela, my spiritual family and encourager, The Albright family, Cynthia, Janay and Fatima were others who have impacted my life as positive influences. To every reader that connects with my book; I pray this book inspire, motivate, encourage, and impact your life in a positive manner. I pray that it transforms, reconfigure, transpire, change, and redirect you to examine the path of your life. I am a firm believer that things happen for a reason, there are no coincidences, that our lives are already pre-destined to happen and it's at this place and time, not only for my writing to be revealed, but for you to receive what has been written. I have learned during this process that our lives are an open book, and I had to reveal what has been closed for so long. I hope that this book ministers to those who have gone through similar experiences, and there will be more books to come in the future.
Book Synopsis Ghosts in Popular Culture and Legend by : June Michele Pulliam
Download or read book Ghosts in Popular Culture and Legend written by June Michele Pulliam and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2016-09-26 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With entries that range from specific works to authors, folklore, and popular culture (including music, film, television, urban legend, and gaming), this book provides a single-volume resource on all things ghostly in the United States and in other countries. The concept of ghosts has been an ongoing and universal element in human culture as far back as recorded history can document. In more modern popular culture and entertainment, ghosts are a popular mainstay—from A Christmas Carol and Casper the Friendly Ghost to The Amityville Horror, Ghostbusters, Poltergeist, The Sixth Sense, and Ghost Whisperer. This book comprehensively examines ghost and spirit phenomena in all its incarnations to provide readers with a holistic perspective on the subject. It presents insightful information about the contribution of a specific work or author to establish or further the evolution of ghost lore, rather than concentrating solely on the film, literature, music, or folklore itself. The book focuses on ghosts in western culture but also provides information about spirit phenomena and lore in international settings, as many of the trends in popular culture dealing with ghosts and spirits are informed by authors and filmmakers from Germany, Japan, Korea, and the United Kingdom. The writers and editors are experts and scholars in the field and enthusiastic fans of ghost lore, ghost films, ghost hunting, and urban legends, resulting in entries that are informative and engaging—and make this the most complete and current resource on ghost and spirit lore available.
Book Synopsis The Child Figure in English Literature by : Robert Pattison
Download or read book The Child Figure in English Literature written by Robert Pattison and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Graveyards or wonderlands have more often than firesides and nurseries been the element in which we encounter the child in English literature, and Robert Pattison begins his narrative by asking why literary children are seldom associated with parents and family, but instead repeatedly occur as solitary figures against a background of social and philosophic melancholy. In a skillful fusion of theology, social history, and literature, Pattison isolates and analyzes the repeated conjunction of the literary figure of the child with two fundamental ideas of Western culture--the fall of man and the concept of Original Sin. His study of child figures used in English literature and their antecedents in classical literature and early Christian writing documents the symbiotic development of an idea and an image. Pattison encounters a wide range of literary offspring, among whom are Marvell's little girls, Gray's young Etonians, Blake's children of innocence and experience, the youthful narrators of Dickens and Gosse, the children of George Eliot and Henry James, and the young protagonists in the children's literature of James Janeway, Christina Rossetti, and Lewis Carroll.
