Book Description
More and More Veils Lifted From My Face is more than just Esther's life experience. It will inspire and encourage you as a reader to walk with Jesus. You will also learn to persevere knowing that even amongst hardship, there is also happiness, but only if you receive Jesus Christ as your savior. For Esther, she thought that to be a good Christian was to be humble, carry the Bible and go to church every Sunday. But that was not enough. It was not until she realized God's amazing Grace through the way of salvation that she saw a different page in her life. She was redeemed, became a happy and hopeful person. She confesses that God lifted a veil from her face to know and see the hidden things that she had not known. She remained stagnant for a long time, trying to rely on people to help her stand and walk as a saved Christian, but it wasn't easy because they failed her. Yet another veil was lifted from her face, and she began to rely on God, not man. It is very interesting to know that our faces are covered by so many thin veils, that God Himself lifts for us to see what is happening in the spiritual world. The pivotal part in this book is the instant miracle God performed in Esther's life. That was her biggest turning point, and she encourages people who are not certain about miracles, that they are real, and they still happen

George Eliot’s ‘The Lifted Veil’
Author: Franco Marucci
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000519023
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
The negative historical judgment given to George Eliot’s ‘The Lifted Veil’ amounts nowadays to a gross critical blunder, and in the last three decades the story has been firmly reinstated in Eliot’s major canon. The premise of the present book is that George Eliot’s oeuvre is a compact macrotext where themes, motifs, patterns and cultural and personal archetypes recur with variations, and that ‘The Lifted Veil’ functions as the linchpin of this oeuvre. A sequential approach to the story is authorized by the use of a mimetic enunciation that simulates a gradual ‘definition’ of events, places, and characters as they have appeared to the narrating ‘I’ in the course of time until the moment of the enunciation. Contextualizing ‘The Lifted Veil’ means placing it within Eliot’s oeuvre and against the background of Victorian mid-century fiction; in a further meaning, seeing it as intersecting various contemporary genres and subgenres, such as that of the European and American ‘literature of the veil’, that of the archetypal icon of the femme fatale, that of Wilkie Collins’s ‘dead secret’ novels. The most significant facet that critical literature on ‘The Lifted Veil’ has tended to overlook is however the encrypting of the experience of a failed religious conversion and the foreshadowing of the search for a spiritual and racial identity of Daniel Deronda, the hero of Eliot’s final novel.

Habitations of the Veil
Author: Rebecka Rutledge Fisher
Publisher: SUNY Press
ISBN: 1438449313
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 444
Book Description
A hermeneutical study of metaphor in African American literature. In Habitations of the Veil, Rebecka Rutledge Fisher uses theory implicit in W. E. B. Du Boiss use of metaphor to draw out and analyze what she sees as a long tradition of philosophical metaphor in African American literature. She demonstrates how Olaudah Equiano, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, Zora Neale Hurston, Richard Wright, and Ralph Ellison each use metaphors to develop a critical discourse capable of overcoming the limits of narrative language to convey their lived experiences. Fishers philosophical investigations open these texts to consideration on ontological and epistemological levels, in addition to those concerned with literary craft and the politics of black identity.

Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 89
Book Description
Life starts with expectations and dreams, then runs into painful realities. When we open our eyes, seeing clearly our past actions, we find ourselves changed, and the dreams can turn out quite different from the ones we first created. Dawna goes deep into herself to discover what the universe is trying to teach her, to learn to listen to her heart. She discovers at the tender age of forty-five how repeated patterns in her life continue to bring pain without resolutions. Feeling like she's going around the same tree over and over again, she looks deeper for ways to break free from the pattern of pain. When she listens carefully, she finds a veil is lifted as a new truth is revealed and at the same moment the lie is exposed. This book is a recount of some of those personal lessons, each one unique, intense, and still common to many others. The poems will give you an awareness of your search for change and of a life made better. Each story takes you on your own personal journey, helping you to lift the veils and discover your own truth. These stories are woven with hope and new values that were a long time being uncovered. As you read these life lessons, you may find they are occasionally painful but always full of revelations. Each one requires a decision, to accept or discard the ideas and long-held beliefs that no longer serve life as it is now. To become herself, Dawna encountered memories that may take your breath away one moment but will leave you with hope which will last for the rest of your life.
