Book Description
In every culture and time, persons of faith, of all ages, have summoned trials and tribulations to find the endurance and strength to “dance.” They have danced with the weight of the world upon their shoulders, sustained by God and others dancing near them. Hard to Dance With the Devil On Your Back is a seven-session Lenten study that looks at the transcendent struggle in the lives of believers, while helping us to enter the continually crumbling world surrounding Jesus and the disciples in the days preceding Jesus. Appropriate for both group and individual use, the study provides one lesson for each week in Lent. Each lesson includes a Scripture reference, a brief reading, questions for reflection or discussion, a brief prayer, and a focus for the coming week.

Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
Lyrics and never-before-seen poetry and sketches from the iconic musician of Florence and the Machine Songs can be incredibly prophetic, like subconscious warnings or messages to myself, but I often don't know what I'm trying to say till years later. Or a prediction comes true and I couldn't do anything to stop it, so it seems like a kind of useless magic.

Dance With the Devil
Author: Sherrilyn Kenyon
Publisher: St. Martin's Paperbacks
ISBN: 1429976187
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 369
Book Description
Zarek's Point of View: Dark-Hunter: A soulless guardian who stands between mankind and those who would see mankind destroyed. Yeah, right. The only part of that Code of Honor I got was eternity and solitude. Insanity: A condition many say I suffer from after being alone for so long. But I don't suffer from my insanity-I enjoy every minute of it. Trust: I can't trust anyone...not even myself. The only thing I trust in is my ability to do the wrong thing in any situation and to hurt anyone who gets in my way. Truth: I endured a lifetime as a Roman slave, and 900 years as an exiled Dark-Hunter. Now I'm tired of enduring. I want the truth about what happened the night I was exiled-I have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Astrid (Greek, meaning star): An exceptional woman who can see straight to the truth. Brave and strong, she is a point of light in the darkness. She touches me and I tremble. She smiles and my cold heart shatters. Zarek: They say even the most damned man can be forgiven. I never believed that until the night Astrid opened her door to me and made this feral beast want to be human again. Made me want to love and be loved. But how can an ex-slave whose soul is owned by a Greek goddess ever dream of touching, let alone holding, a fiery star?

The Truth of Broken Symbols
Author: Robert C. Neville
Publisher: SUNY Press
ISBN: 9780791427422
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
This book provides a cross-cultural analysis of how religious symbols function from a theological and philosophical perspective. Showing how religious symbols can be true in various qualified senses, Neville presents a theory of religious symbolism in the American pragmatic tradition extending and elaborating Tillich's claim that religious symbols participate in the divine realities to which they refer and yet must be broken in order not to be idolatrous or demonic. The Truth of Broken Symbols offers a theory of religious symbolism treating reference, meaning, and interpretation, and discussing different functions of religious symbols in theological, practical, and devotional contexts. It shows that religious symbols are to be properly understood as true or false and that symbol-systems such as myths, theologies, or liturgical symbols are to be used to engage divine realities while internally exhibiting semiotic structures of reference, meaning, and interpretation.

The Day She Cut God Loose
Author: Sarah Tirri
Publisher: Balboa Press
ISBN: 1982257024
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 387
Book Description
The Day She Cut God Loose begins on Starside, a processing plant for all souls coming and going to Earth. When Sarah, the main character, is summoned to The Department of Planning, Melchizedek, the Godson, asks her to reincarnate for a mission in the service of humanity. Sarah goes, kicking and screaming, back to the planet she was glad to leave the last time around. After having her memory expunged, Sarah is born in England to parents who divorce when she is two years old. She then moves with her mother from man to man, marriage to marriage, and town to town. They are exposed to the ravages of alcoholism, domestic violence, abandonment, and the objectives of a foster mother who is addicted to attention and the hullabaloo that arises from the fact that she is as lost as the young girl, Sarah, she vowed to care for. At a very young age, Sarah realizes that all those living on planet Earth are very unhappy. The only hint she has that she might be different from those around her, is when her everyday mind changes form, and she fleetingly becomes aware of the underlying magnificence of the Godson’s plan. This mental seesawing gives rise to her contrary nature, which gets her into a lot of trouble. The Day She Cut God Loose is the story of Sarah. It is also story of you, and all those like you, existing (for now) within the cycle of rebirth and karma. This is the story of the human mind and what it is capable of. This is the story of planet Earth.
