Book Description
There is an almost desperate quest for spirituality in our time. The nones claim to be spiritual, but not religious. Gurus abound; quick fixes are everywhere. In Thanks Be for These the Rev. Richard Gilbert provides a spiritual starting point for both the spiritual and the religious seeker. Here is a collection of meditations written from the perspective of a mystical religious humanist. Gilbert claims that gratitude is at the heart of the religious experience. It is fundamentally a spiritual act. We are grateful, in the first place, for being itself. Everything else is a bonus. This gratitude is expressed not in the philosophical abstract but in the existential concrete. It is details of the everyday which make life worth living despite our finitude and the inherent messiness of existence. Gilbert divides the book in two sectionsThanksliving for the blessings of being; and Gratitude in Grief, a collection of materials designed for memorial services at time of death. Thanks Be for These challenges us to dig deeply into the meaning of our lives. These meditations on gratitude place the responsibility of living gratefully squarely on uswhere it belongs.

City of Discontent
Author: Mark Harris
Publisher: University of Illinois Press
ISBN: 9780252061806
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 432
Book Description
When City of Discontent was first published, it bore the subtitle "An interpretive biography of Vachel Lindsay, being also the story of Springfield, Illinois, USA, and of the love of the poet for that city, that state, and that nation." But the book is, like Carl Sandburg's Lincoln, not so much a biography as a poetic interpretation of the life of one of the state's leading poets of the first half of the century. "A lively, swift-moving, sympathetic story of a man who deserves to be remembered. . . . A book people will enjoy, and suffer over, and not soon forget." -- Library Journal
