Book Synopsis Eternal Light of the Crypts by : Alan Van't Land
Download or read book Eternal Light of the Crypts written by Alan Van't Land and published by . This book was released on 2021-09 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 890 AD France. The last imperial heir of Charlemagne is dead, and every duke is proclaiming himself king. Egilolf, a former soldier, could care less. He needs to steal bones. A saint's bones. With the prospect of a large payout, he recruits the scribe Aristeus, a refugee fleeing Viking invasions. Perhaps he should have told his new companion the true reason he's pilfering saints. Together the thief and scribe must dodge bandits, Vikings, and warring lords-not to mention their own lies-only to find unearthing bones the easiest step. Yet Egilolf's fiercest battle is the one within. How can defending the weak be just, when God abandons him when he has to kill? And when Vikings become more than a faceless enemy to Aristeus, will he, like the ancient martyrs he's always extolling, risk death to convert them?
Book Synopsis Eternal Light and Earthly Concerns by : Paul Fouracre
Download or read book Eternal Light and Earthly Concerns written by Paul Fouracre and published by Artes Liberales. This book was released on 2021-05-25 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In early Christianity it was established that every church should have a light burning on the altar at all times. In this unique study, Eternal light and earthly concerns, looks at the material and social consequences of maintaining these 'eternal' lights. It investigates how the cost of lighting was met across western Europe throughout the whole of the Middle Ages, revealing the social organisation that was built up around maintaining the lights in the belief that burning them reduced the time spent in Purgatory. When that belief collapsed in the Reformation the eternal lights were summarily extinguished. The history of the lights thus offers not only a new account of change in medieval Europe, but also a sustained examination of the relationship between materiality and belief.

Book Synopsis Reflecting the Eternal by : Marsha Daigle-Williamson
Download or read book Reflecting the Eternal written by Marsha Daigle-Williamson and published by Hendrickson Publishers. This book was released on 2015-01-01 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The characters, plots, and potent language of C. S. Lewis's novels reveal everywhere the modern writer' admiration for Dante's Divine Comedy. Throughout his career Lewis drew on the structure, themes, and narrative details of Dante's medieval epic to present his characters as spiritual pilgrims growing toward God. Dante's portrayal of sin and sanctification, of human frailty and divine revelation, are evident in all of Lewis's best work. Readers will see how a modern author can make astonishingly creative use of a predecessor's material - in this case, the way Lewis imitated and adapted medieval ideas about spiritual life for the benefit of his modern audience. Nine chapters cover all of Lewis's novels, from Pilgrim's Regress and his science-fiction to The Chronicles of Narnia and Till We Have Faces. Readers will gain new insight into the sources of Lewis's literary imagination that represented theological and spiritual principles in his clever, compelling, humorous, and thoroughly human stories.

Book Synopsis Quest for Eternal Sunshine by : Mendek Rubin
Download or read book Quest for Eternal Sunshine written by Mendek Rubin and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-04-14 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quest for Eternal Sunshine chronicles the triumphant, true story of Mendek Rubin, a brilliant inventor who overcame both the trauma of the Holocaust and decades of unrelenting depression to live a life of deep peace and boundless joy. Born into a Hassidic Jewish family in Poland in 1924, Mendek grew up surrounded by extreme anti-Semitism. Armed with an ingenious mind, he survived three horrific years in Nazi slave-labor concentration camps while virtually his entire family was murdered in Auschwitz. After arriving in America in 1946—despite having no money or professional skills—his inventions helped revolutionize both the jewelry and packaged-salad industries. Remarkably, Mendek also applied his ingenuity to his own psyche, developing innovative ways to heal his heart and end his emotional suffering. After Mendek died in 2012, his daughter, Myra Goodman, found an unfinished manuscript in which he’d revealed the intimate details of his healing journey. Quest for Eternal Sunshine—the extraordinary result of a posthumous father-daughter collaboration—tells Mendek’s whole story and is filled with eye-opening revelations, effective self-healing techniques, and profound wisdom that have the power to transform the way we live our lives. An inspirational biography of a Holocaust survivor overcoming depression and PTSD. An essential new addition to Jewish Holocaust history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In book four of the award-winning Austin Family Chronicles young adult series from Madeleine L’Engle, author of A Wrinkle in Time, Vicky Austin experiences the difficulties and joys of growing up. "This wasn't the first time that I'd come close to death, but it was the first time I'd been involved in this part of it, this strange, terrible saying goodbye to someone you've loved." These are Vicky Austin's thoughts as she stands near Commander Rodney's grave while her grandfather, who himself is dying of cancer, recites the funeral service. Watching his condition deteriorate over that long summer is almost more than she can bear. Then, in the midst of her struggle, she finds herself the center of attention for three young men. Leo, Commander Rodney's son, turns to her as an old friend seeking comfort but longing for romance. Zachary, whose attempted suicide inadvertently caused Commander Rodney's death, sees her as the one sane and normal person who can give some meaning to his life. And Adam, a serious young student working at the nearby marine-biology station, discovers Vicky, his friend's little sister, incipient telepathic powers that can help him with his experiments in dolphin communications. Vicky finds solace and brief moments of peace in her poetry, but life goes on around her, and the strain intensifies as she confronts matters of love and of death, of dependence and of responsibility, universal concerns that we all must face. The inevitable crisis comes and Vicky must rely on openness, sensitivity, and the love of others to overcome her private grief. Once again, Madeleine L'Engle has written a story that revels in the drama of vividly portrayed characters and events of the spiritual and moral dimensions of common human experiences.

Download or read book Eternal Light written by Hua Ching Ni and published by Esoteric Teachings of the Trad. This book was released on 1989 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just as the ocean is the concourse of the waters of the world, the Universal Way of life is the concourse of all spiritual traditions, from the earliest times of human culture to the present day. Just as each lake and river bears a name and location and particular characteristics, the religions of the world each bear the stamp of their time and place in history. No religion can claim to have become obsolete and are no longer considered of value. The Concourse of All Spiritual Paths offers a way to go beyond religion to the depth of universal truth that is the very source of life itself. Through spiritual practice, not faith alone, one can experience for oneself the underlying unity of all life. This self-realization enables one to overcome the obstacles to a Universal Way of life and learn to live in harmony with all people. Only by living with universal awareness and authentic regard for others can humankind achieve the true community of spirit that is its goal. Hua-Ching Ni has devoted a lifetime to the science of the human spirit and its history. His accumulated understanding and first hand knowledge of spiritual life is a treasure of practical guidance for anyone seeking his or her way on a path of personal growth. Hua-Ching Ni is the author of many important publications on the most essential subjects of human life in modern times. He writes in Chinese and in English on ancient philosophy, development and other significant subjects. These books are related to his life, his teaching, and the practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Herbology, which has spanned over five decades in China and the West. He has also given lectures worldwide on religion, natural philosophy and special practices for spiritual growth. Hua-Ching Ni spent years of his youth learning from highly achieved masters in the mountains of Mainland China. He was raised in a long family tradition of healing and spirituality, which he offers to the world. His two sons, Drs. Daoshing and Maoshing Ni, and his students and friends support his work. Hua-Ching Ni continues to devote his life to making a spiritual contribution for the benefit of this and future generations. The heritage he receives is the achievement of Maters dating back to the prehistoric age of China. He is fully developed from the benefit of all Masters in all aspects of ancient science and metaphysics, thus he was chosen to be a teacher of natural truth and worldly spiritual integration.
