Drop the Fig Leaf

ISBN: 1449789374
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 177
Book Description
We were not designed to live in this world of deception, lust, judgment, and greed. We were made for freedom, adventure, the infinite, to live freely, openly, honestly and uninhibited. Given the reality of life on earth, leaving ourselves too vulnerable, too exposed to all the selfishness and greed is simply not a viable survival option. All of us eventually have to put up our guard and run for cover. We close ourselves in, put up walls and when that happens, we cover up much of our intended greatness. These “coverings” we feel forced to place over our hearts, minds, spirits and bodies are the Fig Leaves of our lives. Drop the Fig Leaf takes a very straightforward look at these fig leaves, what lies behind them, how did they get there and most importantly, how to remove them. We will look at what’s at stake, what’s on the other side of the fig-leaves, what was intended for us all along, and how we can fight back and ultimately win the greatest battle of our lives. Get ready for an exhilarating, eye opening and life changing journey - The battle for our original and natural freedom.

That Famous Fig Leaf
Author: Chad W. Thompson
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1532659865
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 153
Book Description
Nothing that God created is the source of our human temptation. To the contrary! The human body is the crown of God's creation—consummated by his declaration that it was good. That God’s people are unable to view the body without sinning is not an indictment of the body itself, but of the immaturity of the post-modern evangelical mind. We live in a culture whose inhabitants spend billions of dollars a year to see each other naked on internet sites and in pornographic films, yet are often uncomfortable changing in front of each other in locker rooms or even being seen in a swimsuit on the beach. Could it be that we have so profoundly fused the image of the exposed body with sexual gratification that there is no context left for it to be laid bare without evoking either shame or arousal? In That Famous Fig Leaf, Chad Thompson explores the spiritual implications of the physical body and, surprisingly, uncovers a new kind of freedom from sexual addiction along the way. Chad critiques the Christian purity movement for conflating purity with prudery, and reveals that changing how we esteem our bodies has the power to heal the hypersexualized body consciousness of our culture.

Pages : 369
Book Description
A REESE'S BOOK CLUB PICK Winner of the 2022 BookTube Silver Medal in Fiction * Shortlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction "A wise novel of love and grief, roots and branches, displacement and home, faith and belief. Balm for our bruised times." -David Mitchell, author of Utopia Avenue A rich, magical new novel on belonging and identity, love and trauma, nature and renewal, from the Booker-shortlisted author of 10 Minutes 38 Seconds in This Strange World. Two teenagers, a Greek Cypriot and a Turkish Cypriot, meet at a taverna on the island they both call home. In the taverna, hidden beneath garlands of garlic, chili peppers and creeping honeysuckle, Kostas and Defne grow in their forbidden love for each other. A fig tree stretches through a cavity in the roof, and this tree bears witness to their hushed, happy meetings and eventually, to their silent, surreptitious departures. The tree is there when war breaks out, when the capital is reduced to ashes and rubble, and when the teenagers vanish. Decades later, Kostas returns. He is a botanist looking for native species, but really, he's searching for lost love. Years later a Ficus carica grows in the back garden of a house in London where Ada Kazantzakis lives. This tree is her only connection to an island she has never visited--- her only connection to her family's troubled history and her complex identity as she seeks to untangle years of secrets to find her place in the world. A moving, beautifully written, and delicately constructed story of love, division, transcendence, history, and eco-consciousness, The Island of Missing Trees is Elif Shafak's best work yet.
