Author: Diane Comer
Publisher: Zondervan
ISBN: 0310341787
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
He Speaks in the Silence is about Diane Comer’s search for the kind of intimacy with God every woman longs for. It is a story of trying to be a good girl, of following the rules, of longing for a satisfaction that eludes us. Disappointed with all Diane had been told was supposed to fulfill her, she begged God in desperation to give her more. And He did. But first He took her through a trial so debilitating it almost destroyed what little faith she had. He let her go deaf. Using vivid parallels between her deafness and every woman’s struggle to hear God, this book shows women not only how Diane, as a deaf woman, hears in everyday life, but also how she can learn to listen to God in the midst of her own loud life, finding intimacy with God and the deep soul satisfaction she longs for.

Behind the Silence
Author: Jing-Bao Nie
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 9780742523715
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
Behind the Silence is the first in-depth work in any language to explore the diverse perspectives of mainland Chinese regarding induced abortion and fetal life in the context of the world's most ambitious and intrusive family planning program. Through his investigation of public silence, official standpoints, forgotten controversies from the imperial era, popular opinions, women's personal stories, doctors' narratives, and the problem of coerced abortion, Nie Jing-Bao brings to light a surprising range of beliefs concerning fetal life and the morality of abortion, yet finds overall an acceptance of national population policies. China's internal plurality, the author argues, must be taken seriously if the West is to open a fruitful cross-cultural dialogue. Visit our website for sample chapters!

Book Description
In Beyond the Silence, Nan sheds more light on the Spiritual Master Meher Baba's ever-readiness to reach out in 'Silence' to each and every person who calls out to Him from the depths of their hearts. It draws one closer to the understanding of the real goal of human life by laying emphasis on the thread of Love, which not only seams the physical and the spirit worlds - but also brings all of us together as one big family... into the New Humanity. Beyond the Silence is the chronicle of Nan's generous willingness to help people who have been struck by tragedy and grief. She has done this by enabling them build a bridge across the two worlds - through the loving and caring messages of her son Karl who dwells in the spiritual realms. Nan has thus been a shining beacon to thousands of people who have, with the Master's Grace, and the caring intervention of Karl, found their own answers and way out of sorrow and pain. Beyond the Silence is her continuing account of people from all walks of life who are entering into His ever-growing, loving fold.

But all that changed with the untimely death of her son Karl, a champion jockey. During a long period of grieving, Nan, as fate would have it, met some people who communicated with their loved ones in the spirit world. Soon, she also started communicating with her lost son and began to receive 'messages' from him that would alter the course of her life forever. Initially, while she felt exhilarated, she could not help but question this phenomenon. Was she fantasizing, imagining things or just indulging in wishful thinking? Was there really a higher energy force- angels, guides, guardians and a God? As Nan delved deeper, building a bridge across two worlds, she decided to share her experience with others. This led her to writing a book in which she detailed how Karl showed her the way out of grief towards happiness, and how she came to believe in Meher Baba- her sons Spiritual Master. With her insights and her immovable faith, Nan has helped many people deal with the loss of their loved ones. "With Baba's help" she says, "many hearts have been healed." And, many lives have undergone a change for the better.
