Book Description
“You, yourself, are the most powerful of omens... There is nothing more powerful than the power of the unknown and the emotion that it stirs.” An eventful year has passed since Jaci crashed onto the wild world of Acedia. Now, she’s been taken captive by a war-chief whose clan has invaded the land she’d settled to call home. Taken from her family, removed from any means of contacting her people, and fearful of being regained by the emperor’s people who may enslave her to a temple, or maybe sacrifice her to appease the gods, Jaci’s perceived power as being the Omen is proving far more dangerous than she ever imagined. As she is taken across the realm, the limits of what she’s willing to do are tested, not just by the chief’s ruthless ways, but by the interest of a powerful priest who believes she is the forerunner of the return of the gods, people from the stars, and discoveries left behind from when those people once walked this land. Trapped between the opposing factions of the world and beyond which seem to be drawing towards an inevitable conflict, can Jaci endure long enough to reunite with her warrior husband and newborn son?

The Origins of Responsibility
Author: François Raffoul
Publisher: Indiana University Press
ISBN: 0253221730
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 361
Book Description
François Raffoul approaches the concept of responsibility in a manner that is distinct from its traditional interpretation as accountability of the willful subject. Exploring responsibility in the works of Nietzsche, Sartre, Levinas, Heidegger, and Derrida, Raffoul identifies decisive moments in the development of the concept, retrieves its origins, and explores new reflections on it. For Raffoul, responsibility is less about a sovereign subject establishing a sphere of power and control than about exposure to an event that does not come from us and yet calls to us. These original and thoughtful investigations of the post-metaphysical senses of responsibility chart new directions for ethics in the continental tradition.

Callings
Author: Gregg Michael Levoy
Publisher: Harmony
ISBN: 0609803700
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 349
Book Description
How do we know if we're following our true callings? How do we sharpen our senses to cut through the distractions of everyday reality and hear the calls that are beckoning us? is the first book to examine the many kinds of calls we receive and the great variety of channels through which they come to us. A calling may be to do something (change careers, go back to school, have a child) or to be something (more creative, less judgmental, more loving). While honoring a calling's essential mystery, this book also guides readers to ask and answer the fundamental questions that arise from any calling: How do we recognize it? How do we distinguish the true call from the siren song? How do we handle our resistance to a call? What happens when we say yes? What happens when we say no? Drawing on the hard-won wisdom and powerful stories of people who have followed their own calls, Gregg Levoy shows us the many ways to translate a calling into action. In a style that is poetic, exuberant, and keenly insightful, he presents an illuminating and ultimately practical inquiry into how we listen and respond to our calls, whether at work or at home, in our relationships or in service. Callings is a compassionate guide to discovering your own callings and negotiating the tight passages to personal power and authenticity.

Blessing

ISBN: 9956727873
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
Fatti Ashi died. Startling her family and community, she comes back to life just a few hours after dying. Blessing chronicles the life of this Fatti Ashi, a young village girl who from the moment she rejoins the land of the living is faced with both obstacles and opportunities consistent with an attempted mergence of two worlds. From a child who is molded with her fathers advice to merge ancestral skull worship and Christianity to an underprivileged teenager who falls in love with the alphabet and finally becoming a woman who desires emotional and financial independence, Fatti Ashis life yields misunderstandings and isolation. As a child in the village, her life is a battleground for family rivalry and religious conflict. As a teenage wife in the city, she befriends a sex worker who encourages her to bring meaning into her life rather than simply living to the dictates of others. She takes up the challenge by embarking on adult education and becoming a breadwinner but is taken aback when her husband requests a divorce. In a search for solutions to save her marriage, she entertains traditional religion, Catholicism and Pentecostalism. Disappointment and desperation lead her to take a deeper look at the situation. Is she to stay married simply for convenience? Is she to continue following religious paths laid out by others, clearly not as beneficial to her? Is she to please society to her detriment? The long journey of self-discovery takes her through scandal and humiliation but in the end, she emerges as a confident, admired and happy woman.
