Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Through the years, I have heard many people mention the word Remnant. I even had an idea of what the word meant. But it was not until I was traveling to one of my churches in King Fisher, Oklahoma that the I Lord spoke to me concerning this word. He said, 'Lydia, I have never used an entire church to carry out my perfect plan. I have always used a remnant. You have been looking to the entire church for the help that you need to carry out the Vision that I have given you. That is not how I work. Within every Church, there is always a Remnant of People.Time and again, I have found myself stressed out . . . disappointed because I believed everyone in the Church should feel the same way I do about carrying out God's Vision. I placed my attention on the Church as a whole---not on that special people God had set apart for His perfect plan. The Word that God spoke to me brought revelation and freedom. It was then that the Lord told me to write this book. Get ready for the greatest revelation you will ever experience. Ask God to open your understanding and reveal the unveiled truth about God's Remnant.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 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.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Most scholarly writing about Joyce's Ulysses has concentrated on its parallels with homer's odyssey, catholic theology, Dublin's streets, Shakespearean references (especially hamlet} , all of which, and much more, Joyce included in his novel but emphasizing the interpretation of these overlays to the story has led to the book appearing almost impenetrable to readers who might otherwise enjoy it.Mood attempts to cut through these grids and go directly to the strengths of the novel: - its suspenseful double plot, its breathtaking wordplay, its eroticism and, above all, its constant hilarious comedy. One doesn't need to know a thing about the Odyssey to enjoy Ulysses thoroughly. The life of the young Stephen Dedalus is in a mess and he obviously needs an elder's advice. The older Leopold Bloom yearns to pass on his wisdom to someone younger. He also learns his wife Molly is going to commit adultery for the first time. These plots, not Catholic theology or Hamlet, is what the novel is 'about'. And the comedy, the sex, the heart-stopping suspense and the verbal fireworks are what drive the reader on.Mood's book makes this obvious on every page. One will never have difficulty reading Ulysses again. The late dean of American critics Leslie Fiedler said it would be 'more useful [for beginning readers] than anything else I have seen'. Best-selling Dublin novelist and memoirist Nuala O'Faolain said it is a 'charming and funny account of Ulysses' and 'quite authoritative as well.' Tom Wolfe commented, 'I certainly enjoyed your Joycean excursion, particularly the part about Joyce's interweaving of various narrative voices.'.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Poetic Reality-in a complicated world,' is a book of poems unlike most. The title explains the overall understanding. This book is about real life issues, written into poems. It also covers several other topics, and has several meanings. The most important meaning contained within the book is the understanding of 'self importance.' We are faced with many adversities in our lives, and for the most part these adversities can cloud our understanding of who we truly are. Often times we 'give in' to these conditions and find ourselves in a state of depression, whether it be major depression, or minor. 'Poetic Reality- in a complicated world,' allows the reader to understand the several emotions, or feelings they may experience while attempting to cope with these trying times, and even though these 'gray' times are present in our lives, they don't have to completely consume one's existence. Better days will follow, as long as we can be 'real' to ourselves and keep in mind how important we truly are to ourselves. This book will assist the reader in understanding that we 'all' experience adversity at one time or another. It is truly up to us to figure out how to deal with these times. The poems in this book are from emotional experiences author Samuel Davis Jr., has experienced in his life, as well as shared feelings from his family and friends. 'Poetic Reality' is about real life, as we continue our learning from life's lessons, through trial and error.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Oh, if there were someone to tell us the history of that subtle feeling called solitude,' mused the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. In The Greatest Escape, David Balcom answers that call, showing that solitude is an inevitable--yet vital and exciting--facet of our existence with a long, tumultuous past. He travels back in time to trace the spirit flights of shamans; wanders in the mountains of China, listening to the poetry of recluse scholars; visits the forests of India to participate in the dialogues of ancient sages; explores the wisdom of early Greek philosophers, Christian hermits, and Sufi mystics; and illuminates the role of solitude in the lives and writings of modern poets and intellectuals from Petrarch to Thoreau. Covering a broad swath of history, Balcom introduces us to powers and resources in solitude that are drowned in the clamor of modern life. He concludes that the experience of solitude can be creative, joyful, enlightening, sometimes all three at once--and that the perennial 'fruits of solitude' are open to everyone. 'Here,' he writes, 'is an apology for and a guide to the greatest of all escapes.'.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - God was in one corner, sex in the other. They were segregated, separated, split off. The two were as distantly related as the east is from the west, as night from day. They had nothing in common.As for God, well, God was.God! And what could be better than that Being God was everything that represented good, including, of course, sex.And sex Well, sex was just sex. It was fun. But mostly it was an essential procreative aspect of life. Under appropriate terms, and in specific settings, it could be a fairly wondrous thing, to explore, to appreciate, but the terms were usually, and most relevantly, within the strict context of marriage, or, at the very least, in that of a deeply committed relationship.Further terms included appropriateness of time and consumption, adherence to specific sexual patterns, restrictions in sexual thought, and much more. After all terms are met, one might then feel free to 'break off a little for himself,' from time to time.Okay.All of that was in a past life that I used to live.No more.I had practiced what one might call 'oops, excuse me' sex most of my young life, and deeply into my middle adult life too. Having recognized that I did not seem to possess the virtues and attributes of a priest, or a monk, I subtly 'took care' of my sexual needs and expressions in the quickest and most expedient fashion possible, so that I could - and I might add, with rapidity - get back to put more important matters back in hand.No idea whatsoever was given to the fact that the celebration of sexual expression was an integral feature of those important matters.But, hey wait a minute! Sex is of the utmost importance to most every one of us! Where would we be, in fact, without it We need it. We not only need it, we want it. It's good for us. Is this not true .So, here you have a different kind of perspective on certain things in life. As you read the book, see how it compares with what you think.…
