Book Description
To liberals, A Conservative's Book of Proverbs, Parables and Prophecies is a book filled with hundreds of micro-aggressions. What a liberal calls a micro-aggression, a conservative calls good old fashioned “horse sense”. The author will use this “horse sense” to answer many of the unanswerable questions that has plagued the great philosophers of liberal history. Questions like: What is the meaning of life and what is the purpose for living? Is there life after death? Does God exist? If so, why would a God of love create death? Is God political? If so, is he a liberal or a conservative? What is the Kingdom of God? Is it a paradise on earth or is it in Heaven? What is the mark of God, the mark of man and the mark of the beast? Will there ever be peace on earth? If so how will it come? If the Gospel is good news, why is so much Bible prophecy bad news? These and other deep questions will be answered in this book. But the main purpose of this book is to give conservatives a hope in a bright future. And a faith to weather the liberal storm that will come before that bright future comes. A Conservative's Book of Proverbs, Parables and Prophecies will give the average Joe some insights on how to take on the liberal propaganda machine. If that average Joe can take on the demonizing liberal propaganda machine, then maybe the leadership of the Republican Party will have the courage to do the same. America needs the leadership of conservative average Joes to lead us out of our liberal funk. If America will repent of its liberal sins, then God will bless America again

Hide and Seek
Author: Benson P. Fraser
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1532670583
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
As bearers of the divine image, all of us are storytellers and artists. However, few people today believe in truth that is not empirically knowable or verifiable, the sort of truth often trafficked through direct forms of communication. Drawing on the works of Søren Kierkegaard, Benson P. Fraser challenges this penchant for direct forms of knowledge by introducing the indirect approach, which he argues conveys more than mere knowledge, but the capability to live out what one takes to be true. Dr. Fraser suggests that stories aimed at the heart are powerful instruments for personal and social change because they are not focused directly on the individual listener; rather, they give the individual room or distance to reconsider old meanings or ways of understanding. Indirect communication fosters human transformation by awaking an individual to attend to images or words that carry deep symbolic force and that modify or replace one’s present ways of knowing, and ultimately make one capable of embodying what he or she believes. Through an examination of the indirect approach in Kierkegaard, Jesus, C. S. Lewis, and Flannery O’Connor, Fraser makes a strong case for the recovery of indirect strategies for communicating truth in our time.

Practicing Philosophy
Author: Lydia Amir
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1443886599
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
This volume presents the state of the art of philosophical practice worldwide from the perspectives of leading philosophical practitioners, both counselors and institutional consultants. Philosophical practice has developed in different directions in different parts of the world, with the focus in Europe and North America being mostly on client counseling and corporate consultancy, while in Asia it is more community-based and more closely aligned with psychotherapy. In all cases, philosophical practitioners strive to transcend the boundaries of academic philosophy and reach out to the public, to corporations, to the policy makers, to the medical, legal and many other professions. The chapters of this book illustrate both the breadth of philosophical practice and its various methodological directions, while, at the same time, showing how philosophy can be relevant to everyday life, not just for individuals, but for the economy, the government, international organizations, the helping and therapeutic professions, and the educational system. The volume is primarily a companion for students of applied philosophy on all levels, as well as for modern psychotherapists, educational professionals and academics. It is designed to support a variety of undergraduate and postgraduate courses in philosophy and applied psychology, ranging from ancient ethics to philosophical practice sui generis, or to the philosophy of psychology.

Wisdom, Worship, and Poetry
Author: Gale A. Yee
Publisher: Fortress Press
ISBN: 1506415849
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
This concise commentary, excerpted from the Fortress Commentary on the Bible: The Old Testament and Apocrypha, engages readers in the work of biblical interpretation. Contributors connect historical-critical analysis with sensitivity to current theological, cultural, and interpretive issues. Introductory articles describe the challenges of reading the Old Testament in ancient and contemporary contexts, relating the biblical theme of “the people of God” to our complex, multicultural world, and reading the Old Testament as Christian Scripture, followed by a survey of “Introduction to Wisdom and Worship: Themes and Perspectives in the Poetic Writings.” Each chapter (Job through Song of Songs) includes an introduction and commentary on the text through the lenses of three critical questions: The Text in Its Ancient Context. What did the text probably mean in its original historical and cultural context? The Text in the Interpretive Tradition. How have centuries of reading and interpreting shaped our understanding of the text? The Text in Contemporary Discussion. What are the unique challenges and interpretive questions that arise for readers and hearers of the text today? Wisdom, Worship, and Poetry introduces fresh perspectives and draws students, as well as preachers and interested readers, into the challenging work of interpretation.
