Pages : 220
Book Description
A LIFE'S ESSENCE (qualities which make a life what it is) Life's story-an integrated collection of experiences noted, recorded and assimilated by an extensive but limited set of neurons. DNA determines our individual network of these fibers-programming is essentially up to chance. No wonder life is such a gamble-the reservoir of experience is infinite, the exposure relatively random, the integration, questionable. From the micro to the macro cosmos, our adventure is singularly unique. Transcribed individually, it makes for interesting discovery, entertainment, research, enjoyment for God or the Gods - more importantly, for Us. The perpetuity of life presumed limited is variably everlasting in memory, fable, artifact, history, imagination, antiquity. As the embodiment of our souls it is up to us as individuals to experience, record, recite, read, discover, endure appreciate our existence.

Rationality, Humility, and Spirituality in Christian Life
Author: Dennis Hiebert
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1532656874
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
As Euro-American culture turns resolutely away from religiosity toward spirituality and becomes increasingly post-Christian, the ordinary, everyday practice of Christian life is ever more questioned and in need of scrutiny. In this interdisciplinary analysis, Christians are first called to comprehend the excessive rationality that modernity has built into both the cognitive and organizational structure of contemporary Christian life. They are then summoned to personify an authentic attitude of humility, and in particular, the virtue of intellectual humility that is most challenged and tested by religious convictions. Going forward, Christians are subsequently invited to live their faith more as an internally differentiated and open spirituality, rather than an externally determined and regulated religiosity. When we exhaust our rationality and are confronted with its limitations, we are humbled by our finitude and animated by our spirituality.

Creating Character: Bringing Your Story to Life
Author: William Bernhardt
Publisher: Babylon Books
ISBN: 099790108X
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 130
Book Description
All fiction is character-driven, according to William Bernhardt, despite what you might have heard elsewhere. If your characters don’t interest readers, even the most exciting plots will fail. “Action is character,” Aristotle wrote, but what does that mean, and how can you use that fundamental principle to create dynamic fiction that will captivate readers? This book explains the relationship between character and plot, and how the perfect melding of the two produces a mesmerizing story. Using examples spanning from The Odyssey to The Da Vinci Code, Bernhardt discusses the art of character creation in a direct and easily comprehended manner. The book also includes exercises designed to help writers apply these ideas to their own work. William Bernhardt is the author of more than fifty novels, including the blockbuster Ben Kincaid series of legal thrillers. Bernhardt is also one of the most sought-after writing instructors in the nation. His programs have educated many authors now published by major houses. He is the only person to have received the Southern Writers Gold Medal Award, the Royden B. Davis Distinguished Author Award (U Penn) and the H. Louise Cobb Distinguished Author Award (OSU), which is given "in recognition of an outstanding body of work that has profoundly influenced the way in which we understand ourselves and American society at large." The Red Sneaker Writing Center is dedicated to helping writers achieve their literary goals. What is a red sneaker writer? A committed writer seeking useful instruction and guidance rather than obfuscation and attitude. Red sneakers get the job done, and so do red sneaker writers, by paying close attention to their art and craft, committing to hard work, and never quitting. Are you a red sneaker writer? If so, this book is for you.
