Book Description
Lydia (every woman, not a real person) writes her journal entries as she walks through the highways and byways of her lifetime journey from beginning to the midpoint to the unknown end. She seeks to understand that every day is an opportunity to create herself in Gods image. Her journey is not a straight highway but is made up of many choices, some made by others as well as those that are her own, and that will lead to journeys end. Some of those decisions are not knowingly made, but they either enrich, demean, or change the journey. Others demand the recognition that decisions and choices are very personal and take place within the very soul of the one on the journey. Captured within these choices is a person who has a relationship with the holy God, who seeks to find pathways that will show her where God would lead and guide her all along the lifetime journey.

Understanding My Life’s Journey
Author: Noel Sherry
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1669875938
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 88
Book Description
This book is a guide for helping adults to complete and share a Life Map project in a supportive group. I got connected with this ancient practice as director of a seminary program helping over a hundred adults complete and share a Life Map with their introductory spiritual formation class. This project was often viewed as their best learning experience. When Bethel University closed our East coast center, I helped fifty more adult leaders complete this transformative project for the New England Christian Study Center. I was most fortunate to be able to receive a Doctor in Ministry degree with Bethel University, investing five years of research on this signal practice inaugurated by Saint Augustine with the publication of his seminal Confessions in 397 AD. Now I am leading groups of adults for my church and community interested in exploring their legacy via a Life Map project. My guide begins with the church crisis that introduced me to Life Mapping, which helped me navigate a very difficult transition at midlife. The guide then leads an adult through reflection and journaling to complete and share their project with a supportive group, five steps completing this important life skill.

Life Is a Journey

ISBN: 1098027167
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 75
Book Description
Using different experiences in my life's journey, I have shown how one can gain profound knowledge as he/she travels on life's journey and utilize knowledge gained to serve humanity. I give examples from my elementary school days; trade school; immigration to England, UK; marriage; education; immigration to the USA; being the CEO of my own business, a pastor, and a visionary who oversees the building of a beautiful church edifice to house God's people. It must be noted how God has been with me on this journey. I give examples of what God has enabled me to accomplish at every stage. My journey has extended far beyond what is written in this book, Life Is a Journey. This book is to motivate, empower, and propel others to excel beyond what their natural eyes can see. I do hope that by reading this book, it will be a beacon of light to everyone who reads it, especially those who are in dark despair, that they will emerge and share Life Is a Journey with families, friends or groups. This book shows that there should be no room in one's heart for giving up despite one's circumstances, but to aim for excellence, knowing that God wants the best for His children.

Languages : en
Pages : 365
Book Description
The journey continues with more laughter, more thrill and Michael being typical Michael. This journey has many twists and turns and one twist I have found to be spiritually captivating, not just for me, but all who call this planet home. This journey started with the first volume where it opened our minds to fathom that there is in fact an afterlife. I have been informed by Jesus that time is of the essence and now is the most important period of our lives, where all Religious beliefs, all Prophecies, and Mythology converge. It is time to allow yourself to further open your minds, and accept the reality that is contained within. "In your hands is hope for a better tomorrow. If you are willing, we are here to give you wings so you can learn to soar the skies, as yesterday has come and gone, today you hold hope for a better tomorrow. So if you dare to rise up, we will be alongside you.”- Michael Jackson in spirit. God, Jesus, Siddhartha Gautama Buddha, Meher Baba and Michael Jackson have their say… Are you ready to listen? What have you got to lose? A foreshadowing that you should not ignore…

A Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland and the Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides
Author: Samuel Johnson
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0192519565
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 426
Book Description
In 1773, James Boswell made a long-planned journey across the Scottish Highlands with his English friend Samuel Johnson; the two spent more than a hundred days together. Their tour of the Hebrides resulted in two books, A Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland (1775), a kind of locodescriptive ethnography and Johnson's most important work between his Shakespeare edition and his Lives of the Poets. The other, Boswell's Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides with Samuel Johnson (1785), a travel narrative experimenting with biography, the first application of the techniques he would use in his Life of Samuel Johnson (1791). These two works form a natural pair and, owing that they cover much of the same material, are often read together, focusing on the Scottish highlands. The text presents a lightly-edited version of both works, preserving the original orthography and corrected typographical errors to fit modern grammar standards. The introduction and notes provide clear and concise explanations on Johnson and Boswell's respective careers, their friendship and grand biographical projects. It also examines the Scottish Enlightenment, the status of England and Scotland during the Reformation through to the Union of the Crowns, and the Jacobite

Novel Ideas

ISBN: 1350309206
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 254
Book Description
This concise yet comprehensive study explores innovative practice in the novel and, from the perspective of creative writing, the astonishing resilience of the novel form. It offers a practical guide to the many possibilities available to the writer of the novel, with each chapter offering exercises to encourage innovation and to expand the creative writer's narrative skills. Beginning with early iterations of the novel in the 17th century, this book follows the evocation of innovation in the novel through Realism, Modernism, Postmodernism and into today's dizzying array of digital and interactive possibilities. While guiding the reader through the possibilities available (in both genre and literary fiction), this book encourages both aspiring and established writers to produce novels with imagination, playfulness and gravitas. Dynamic and interactive, this text is distinctive in offering a grounding in the literary history of the novel, while also equipping readers to write in the form themselves. It is an essential resource for any student of creative writing, or anyone with an interest in writing their own novel.
