What If God Were My Analyst?
Author: Stephen Tsousis
Publisher: DoctorZed Publishing
ISBN: 0987164597
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 323
Book Description
Set against the current background of global climate disorder and breakdown, What if God were my Analyst? is a non fiction stream of consciousness where the Author as "client" enters into a therapeutic conversation of analysis with God. The book covers some of the World's most pressing issues through exploring some deep truths, taking the reader on a journey into Self and drawing upon myth, metaphysics, history, religion, psychology, politics, economics and ecology. What if God were my Analyst? is a confronting work. At times dark, sarcastic and black humoured while always challenging the rigid Fundamentalist's point of view. The hope offered in this writing calls for a timely coming together of people of goodwill throughout the World. Those who no longer want to be ruled by the corrupt who rob us of our true democratic freedoms, rights, values and spiritualities. What if God were my Analyst? is a polemic for all who have had enough and demand real responses during our time when the need for authentic and just change is roaring loudly from the four corners of the Earth- our common home. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: STEPHEN L. TSOUSIS was born in 1955. He has had a varied career as a high school teacher, youth worker, tutor, photographer, natural therapist, army officer and lecturer in psychotherapy. He is currently a practising counsellor and psychotherapist while also working as a part-time carer in mental health. He is a professional member of the Australian Counselling Association and secretary of the Hunter Region's local ACA chapter. He has spent almost thirty years studying, writing and applying psychologies, philosophies, comparative religions and metaphysics to help him make sense of his life. His primary adage is to Know Thyself, believing that the last frontier and the least well known is the inner world of a greater consciousness. What if God were my Analyst? is his first published book and he hopes to write at least two more. He is married and currently living in Sydney.

Greed to Green
Author: Charles Derber
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317258568
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
This book shows how we can solve the climate change crisis, which is the greatest threat humanity has faced. Charles Derber, a prominent sociologist and political economist, shows that global warming is a symptom of deep pathologies in global capitalism. In conversational and passionate writing, Derber shows that climate change is capitalism's time bomb, certain to explode unless we rapidly transform our economy and create a new green American Dream Derber shows there is hope in the financial meltdown and Great Recession we are now suffering. The economic crisis has raised deep questions about Wall Street and the US capitalist model. Derber systematically explores the causal links between capitalism and climate change, a taboo subject in the U.S, and opens up new thinking to solve both the economic and climate crises.

Reasoning about God
Author: Harry J Gensler
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000655156
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 173
Book Description
Reasoning about God is an introduction to philosophy of religion, meeting college students where they are with their own doubts and questions. Each chapter begins with a passage from a fictional student, who raises intellectual problems against God, which is followed by the author’s informed and easy-to-understand analysis. This debate structure allows student readers to clearly see the clash of ideas, gets them involved in the issues, and encourages their critical thinking (since students are pushed to find flaws in the ideas). It emulates the structure the author followed successfully in his Ethics: A Contemporary Introduction, which is now in its third edition and has been translated five times into other languages. This structure works well in philosophy of religion, even better than in does in ethics. Key Features of Reasoning about God: Written clearly and concisely, making difficult issues easy to understand. Makes a strong case for belief in God, based on various factors – including arguments about fine-tuning, Kalam, and near-death experiences – as well as approaches that are more instinctual or emotional. A major theme of the book is "There are many paths to God." Includes material on both traditional topics of philosophy of religion (like the problem of evil) and other related topics of interest (like whether religion is harmful, life after death, the variety of world religions, and the meaning of life). Explores how science connects to God’s existence, arguing that recent science is friendlier toward religion than older science. Written by a Christian author, whose defense of belief in God works with other theistic traditions as well (like Islam and Judaism).

Glimpsing Heaven
Author: Martin A. Lopez
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 1532094450
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 469
Book Description
The author, Martin A. Lopez, (self), is a late-in-life father who wondrously transformed when his children arrived in his life. He changed from a compassionless pawn of the polluters, oblivious consumer, part of the throw-away culture, suffering from severe nature-disconnect, and blind to the environmental devastation happening to humanity. Through his children, he became filled with a mountainous emotional connection with them, and ultimately, to humanity and nature. At the same time, he became inspired to take action to fight for nature. This journey of metamorphosis includes poems, personal essays about nature and an analysis about solutions. He candidly identifies the villains and ‘saints’ destroying our children’s future and gives us a moral and a scientific perspective. He provides a poetic approach for our teachers to educate about the environmental disaster. He further provides an understandable approach to saving our planet. Glimpsing Heaven is an inspired father’s unique portrait of parenthood, eye-opening love, and the world’s environmental challenges.
