Book excerpt: Overcome with mental anguish, Monica A. Coleman's great-grandfather had his two young sons pull the chair out from beneath him when he hanged himself. That noose remained tied to a rafter in the shed, where it hung above the heads of his eight children who played there for years to come. As it had for generations before her, a heaviness hung over Monica throughout her young life. As an adult, this rising star in the academy saw career successes often fueled by the modulated highs of undiagnosed Bipolar II Disorder, as she hid deep depression that even her doctors skimmed past in disbelief. Serendipitous encounters with Black intellectuals like Henry Louis Gates Jr., Angela Davis, and Renita Weems were countered by long nights of stark loneliness. Only as Coleman began to face her illness was she able to live honestly and faithfully in the world. And in the process, she discovered a new and liberating vision of God. Written in crackling prose, Monica's spiritual autobiography examines her long dance with trauma, depression, and the threat of death in light of the legacies of slavery, war, sharecropping, poverty, and alcoholism that masked her family history of mental illness for generations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Encounter a timeless story of evil, awakened faith, and hope for good in a world where God seems absent. Can Christianity survive a secular age? Can Christians live without compromise in an increasingly hostile society? And what if they’ve already given in to that society’s vision and values? In this revelatory and provocative new book, Mike Cosper answers these questions by pointing out the parallels between our world and the story of Esther. A tale of sex, ego, and revenge, the book of Esther reveals a world where God seems absent from everyday life—a world not unlike our own. Far from the gentle cartoon we often hear in Sunday school, the story of Esther is a brutal saga of people assimilated into a pluralistic, pagan society, embracing its standards. Yet when threatened with annihilation, they find the courage to turn to God in humility. A call to spiritual awakening and to faith in an age of malaise and apathy, Faith Among the Faithless is an invitation to remember the faithfulness of God, knowing that in dark times—as in the days of Esther or our own—God may be hidden, but he is never absent.

Download or read book Nola written by Robin Hemley and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 2013-04-01 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The evidence at hand: an autobiography—complete with their mother’s edits—written by his brilliant and disturbingly religious sister; a story featuring actual childhood events, but published by his mother as fiction; the transcript of a hypnotherapy session from his adolescence; and perjured court documents hidden in a drawer for decades. These are the clues Robin Hemley gathers when he sets out to reconstruct the life of his older sister Nola, who died at the age of twenty-five after several years of treatment for schizophrenia. Armed with these types of clues, Hemley quickly discovers that finding the truth in any life—even one’s own—is a fragmented and complex task. Nola: A Memoir of Faith, Art, and Madness is much more than a remembrance of a young woman who was consumed her entire life by a passion for finding and understanding God; it is also a quest to understand what people choose to reveal and conceal, and an examination of the enormous toll mental illness takes on a family. Finally, it is a revelation of the alchemy that creates a writer: confidence in the unknowable, distrust of the proven, tortuous devotion to the fine print in life, and sacrifice to writing itself as it plays the roles of confessor, scourge, and creator. Upon its first release in 1998, Nola won ForeWord’s Book of the Year Award for biography/memoir, the Washington State Book Award for biography/memoir, and the Independent Press Book Award for autobiography/memoir.

Book excerpt: Five long-haired, tattooed guys in leather walk into a church only to be stopped at the door and told that "their kind" is not welcome... Due to people's condemnation, a contractor has to leave a church after using the F-word in a testimony to describe how awesome God really is... A seventeen-year-old girl finds solace and escape in a rock band with no thought of going to a church for help... Where is the church today? Where are the "Christians?" It seems that the church is busy being religious, judgmental and competitive. We are so busy trying to be right that we are turning people off to the awesome relationship available with Jesus Christ. Stop the Madness...Religion Sucks! Religion killed Christ, and it is still killing people today. Christianity is NOT a religion, and we need to wake up! This book is an indictment on the church and a call to wake up and embrace a new relationship with Christ. How can we love people as Jesus does with hate and unforgiveness in our eyes? Jeff Nuziard, also know as "Pastor Noose," has been in the church for some 43 years as everything from a church member, bus captain, usher, youth leader, musician, worship leader, staff member, associate pastor, senior pastor and para-church ministry pastor or leader...oh yeah, and janitor as well. Jeff is committed to taking the message of freedom and no more religion from coast to coast and border to border. His prayer is that thousands will be set free from the bondage of religion and the constraints of unforgiveness. As a single father of three young adult children, he says he understands now more than ever the need for pure relationship with Christ without religion.

Download or read book ZALMEN OR THE MADNESS OF GOD written by Elie Wiesel and published by Schocken. This book was released on 2013-04-10 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On Yom Kippur eve in 1965, Elie Wiesel found himself in Russia, “in a synagogue crowded with people. The air was stifling. The cantor was chanting . . . Suddenly a mad thought crossed my mind: Something is about to happen; any moment now the Rabbi will wake up, shake himself, pound the pulpit and cry out, shout his pain, his rage, his truth. I felt the tension building up inside me; the wait became unbearable. But nothing happened . . . It was too late. The Rabbi no longer had the strength to imagine himself free.” In Zalmen, or The Madness of God, Wiesel gives his Rabbi that strength, the courage to voice his oppression and isolation, and the result is a passionate cry. This play illuminates not only the plight of the Soviet Jew, but the anguish of individuals everywhere who must survive—and yet long for something more than mere survival. (Adapted for the stage by Marion Wiesel.)

The task appointed to the author is difficult: in the accomplishment whereof he will be guided not so much by reason and argument as by authority, especially that of the Nicene Council.

This book addresses all four issues in turn thus providing a meditative and uplifting guide to living successfully.

Book excerpt: The story of Michael Wilmot's journey from desperation to blessing is a cautionary tale for today's Christian seeking authenticity in their faith. Based on the fact that knowing why you believe what you believe requires reason and faith, Wilmot examines biblical truths, philosophical arguments, evidence of the supernatural, and practical applications in order to understand who God is and what the response must be to that knowledge. He found that to escape "the madness of faith" where the paradoxes of God contradict logic and personal experience, you must bring your mind, heart, and soul into alignment with His purposes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Have you seen such men--peculiar, raving, foam-mouthed, and straitjacketed--throwing themselves mercilessly at white padded walls . . . ? Such men are said to be insane. But there is more to insanity than the images depicted in film and planted in our minds by popular media. Insanity is a condition that affects us all. Unsoundness of mind disrupts our ability to think clearly and to form knowledge about the world. Our understanding is dangerously incomplete and our minds are corrupt. We are all insane. How then can we ever hope to know our world? Is it possible to form justified true beliefs about anything? What possibility, if any, do we have of escaping this condition of madness that keeps us from the light of knowledge? In Insanity, Jonah Haddad explores these very questions by introducing the main problems of the theory of knowledge and by offering a response to our madness--a response grounded in God, the ultimate Knower.
