No One Cries the Wrong Way
Author: Joe Kempf
Publisher: Our Sunday Visitor
ISBN: 1612782191
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 117
Book Description
Have you ever found yourself tongue-tied when encountering someone suffering, dying, or having just lost someone close? As people of faith, we are invited to trust in the wonderful goodness of God. Then how are we to understand the sufferings of so many of God's people? Where is God to be found in the midst of a world filled with so much pain and loss? What difference does it make to pray? No One Cries the Wrong Way offers some glimpses into these great questions. Certainly, there are no easy answers. Any words about God will fall far short of the truth of who God is. Indeed, we stand here before the great mystery. But we do not stand along; without hope; or without something to offer. Consoling in a way that is both simple and profound, Fr. Kempf helps us trust the Love in the midst of the pain. At the end of the book, there is a prayer service for each chapter, questions for reflect or discussion, and quotes for meditation and prayer.

Pages : 137
Book Description
“When you first view Rose-Lynn Fisher’s photographs, you might think you’re looking down at the world from an airplane, at dunes, skyscrapers or shorelines. In fact, you’re looking at her tears. . . . [There’s] poetry in the idea that our emotional terrain bears visual resemblance to the physical world; that our tears can look like the vistas we see out an airplane window. Fisher’s images are the only remaining trace of these places, which exist during a moment of intense feeling—and then vanish.” —NPR “[A] delicate, intimate book. . . . In The Topography of Tears photographer Rose-Lynn Fisher shows us a place where language strains to express grief, longing, pride, frustration, joy, the confrontation with something beautiful, the confrontation with an onion.” —Boston Globe Does a tear shed while chopping onions look different from a tear of happiness? In this powerful collection of images, an award-winning photographer trains her optical microscope and camera on her own tears and those of men, women, and children, released in moments of grief, pain, gratitude, and joy, and captured upon glass slides. These duotone photographs reveal the beauty of recurring patterns in nature and present evocative, crystalline imagery for contemplation. Underscored by poetic captions, they translate the mysterious act of crying into an atlas mapping the structure and magnificence of our interior lives. Rose-Lynn Fisher is an artist and author of the International Photography Award-winning studies Bee and The Topography of Tears. Her photographs are exhibited in galleries, festivals, and museums across the world and have been featured by the Dr. Oz Show, NPR, Smithsonian, Harper’s, New Yorker, Time, Wired, Reader’s Digest, Discover, Brain Pickings, and elsewhere. She received her BFA from Otis Art Institute and lives in Los Angeles.

A Walk Through Tears
Author: Dot Roberts
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781542818650
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
In 1961, Dot and Elias Roberts welcomed the birth of their only son, Ricky. Yet, as Ricky entered this world, Satan launched a conspiracy against the Roberts' family. From infancy Ricky suffered a host of medical problems. He experienced frequent convulsions, temporary paralysis, borderline nervous breakdowns, and was diagnosed with severe mental retardation and dyslexia. The public school system turned a blind eye to Ricky's disabilities and passed him from grade to grade even though he couldn't read a word. At night Dot heard her son ask God to heal him. In the morning, she'd find his pillow wet with tears. Frustrated and determined to help her son, Dot had Ricky tested and hired tutors, but to no avail. Ricky could not learn. She pulled him from public school and placed him in a special education class at a private Christian school where he remained until he was sixteen years old. Over the Christmas break in 1977, Ricky attended a tent revival meeting with his parents in Jacksonville, FL. The preacher called Ricky up to the platform and told him, "If your mother will stand on faith and put you in the tenth grade, God will fill in the foundation!" Sixteen-year-old Ricky instantly felt light flooding the dark tunnel of his mind. The next day, Dot called up the school, screaming, "The Lord has healed my boy! Put him in the tenth grade!" The school agreed to have Ricky tested and found he had knowledge of subjects to which he had never been exposed. The school permitted him to enroll in tenth-grade classes on a trial basis. Ricky not only excelled in his studies, he soon began tutoring some of the mainstream students who had once mocked him. In 1981 Ricky graduated with honors near the top of his class. Ricky's healing was complete and instantaneous. To this day, he has kept what God graciously gave him. Today, Dr. Ricky Roberts has several earned doctorate degrees, and a Ph.D. in Old Testament Studies. He graduated summa cum laude with a 4.00 GPA. Ricky is the founder of True Light Ministries, a teaching and healing ministry based in Jacksonville, Florida, and Douglas, Georgia. Behind Dr. Roberts' incredible healing is the story of his mother's anguish, despair, and steely faith. Walk alongside Dot Roberts as she wades through the family tragedies and chaos that Satan used to try and derail her faith and steal God's promises. O eyes, no eyes, but fountains fraught with tears; O life, no life, but lively form of death. -Thomas Kyd

Book Description
NATIONAL BESTSELLER "A poignant and piercing examination of the phenomenon of tears—exhaustive, yes, but also open-ended. . . A deeply felt, and genuinely touching, book." —Esmé Weijun Wang, author of The Collected Schizophrenias "Spellbinding and propulsive—the map of a luminous mind in conversation with books, songs, friends, scientific theories, literary histories, her own jagged joy, and despair. Heather Christle is a visionary writer." —Leni Zumas, author of Red Clocks This bestselling "lyrical, moving book: part essay, part memoir, part surprising cultural study" is an examination of why we cry, how we cry, and what it means to cry from a woman on the cusp of motherhood confronting her own depression (The New York Times Book Review). Heather Christle has just lost a dear friend to suicide and now must reckon with her own depression and the birth of her first child. As she faces her grief and impending parenthood, she decides to research the act of crying: what it is and why people do it, even if they rarely talk about it. Along the way, she discovers an artist who designed a frozen–tear–shooting gun and a moth that feeds on the tears of other animals. She researches tear–collecting devices (lachrymatories) and explores the role white women’s tears play in racist violence. Honest, intelligent, rapturous, and surprising, Christle’s investigations look through a mosaic of science, history, and her own lived experience to find new ways of understanding life, loss, and mental illness. The Crying Book is a deeply personal tribute to the fascinating strangeness of tears and the unexpected resilience of joy.
