Book Description
Is the church of the twenty-first century supposed to regain its former glory, or is it too late? Are the people of God in exile yet again? Have we lost our cultural footing and are now in desperate need to find a new way for the present millennium? Daniel was born into a nation of God-fearers, where the Scriptures were embraced and biblical values espoused. But that all changed with the Babylonian exile. Daniel's God, his values, and his faith had become irrelevant and even despised in his society. With the erosion of Christendom, Daniel's story has become the church's story! We've Lost. What Now? offers a clear, insightful, and relevant exposition of Daniel in order to empower believers to minister more effectively than ever before from the social and cultural margins the church now inhabits.

You've Lost Your Mind Now Find Your Soul
Author: Rev. Dr. Sandy Range Ph.D. LMHC
Publisher: Balboa Press
ISBN: 1982231629
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 199
Book Description
I wasn’t always Dr. Sandy. I once was a lost little girl seeking for anyone to love and care about me. I didn’t feel human and felt like I was from another planet. I just didn’t belong. I went through this cycle for many years until I discovered that I was Soul. This discovery led me to get my graduate and then doctoral degrees. It led me down a path I had been taught in childhood, but had forgotten. That was the path of medicine woman and shaman, and then I became an esoteric-metaphysical minister. You see, in order to find your soul you really do have to lose your mind. I did and I questioned everything. What is God? Who are humans really? What are we supposed to be doing here? I found that as humans we are becoming plagued in a stagnant pattern of pain, illness and suffering everywhere in the world. This is not how it is meant to be. I found that living through our Soul-Self allows us to see the world more clearly and accurately and can remove the patterns of suffering and struggle. The world is changing and many people have forgotten how to be fully human, however many are awakening, knowing, sensing and feeling there is something more. If you are one of those people open these pages and discover how to raise your consciousness and heighten your awareness. Discover how we should be fully aware of the ego-mind that will lead us to believe we are either greater than great or just no good. Even when we are neither we believe it anyway. That is the power of ego. What you will discover is how to pay much more attention to your soul-consciousness, by getting out of our heads and begin living from the place of soul. We’ve forgotten who we are. Being fully human requires reigning in the ego and becoming the Divine Beings we truly are. Soul is Divine after all.

What We've Lost Is Nothing
Author: Rachel Louise Snyder
Publisher: Scribner
ISBN: 1476725209
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
In her “keenly observed” (Star Tribune, Minneapolis) debut, Rachel Louise Snyder, author of the memoir Women We Buried, Women We Burned and the award-winning No Visible Bruises, chronicles the twenty-four hours following a mass burglary in a Chicago suburb and the suspicions, secrets, and prejudices that surface in its wake. Nestled on the edge of Chicago’s gritty west side, Oak Park is a suburb in flux. To the west, theaters and shops frame posh houses designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. To the east lies a neighborhood still recovering from urban decline. In the center of the community sits Ilios Lane, a pristine cul-de-sac dotted with quiet homes that bridge the surrounding extremes of wealth and poverty. On the first warm day in April, Mary Elizabeth McPherson, a lifelong resident of Ilios Lane, skips school with her friend Sofia. As the two experiment with a heavy dose of ecstasy in Mary Elizabeth’s dining room, a series of home invasions rocks their neighborhood. At first the community is determined to band together, but rising suspicions soon threaten to destroy the world they were attempting to create. Filtered through a vibrant pinwheel of characters, Snyder’s tour de force evokes the heightened tension of a community on edge as it builds towards an explosive conclusion. Incisive and panoramic, What We’ve Lost Is Nothing illuminates the evolving relationship between American cities and their suburbs, the hidden prejudices that can threaten a way of life, and the redemptive power of tolerance in a community torn asunder. “Ideas abound in this thoughtful story, a demonstration of the author’s years of experience as a community organizer. What We’ve Lost Is Nothing has the stamp of authenticity” (The Washington Post).

100 Things We've Lost to the Internet
Author: Pamela Paul
Publisher: Crown
ISBN: 0593136772
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 286
Book Description
The acclaimed editor of The New York Times Book Review takes readers on a nostalgic tour of the pre-Internet age, offering powerful insights into both the profound and the seemingly trivial things we've lost. NAMED ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY CHICAGO TRIBUNE AND THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS • “A deft blend of nostalgia, humor and devastating insights.”—People Remember all those ingrained habits, cherished ideas, beloved objects, and stubborn preferences from the pre-Internet age? They’re gone. To some of those things we can say good riddance. But many we miss terribly. Whatever our emotional response to this departed realm, we are faced with the fact that nearly every aspect of modern life now takes place in filtered, isolated corners of cyberspace—a space that has slowly subsumed our physical habitats, replacing or transforming the office, our local library, a favorite bar, the movie theater, and the coffee shop where people met one another’s gaze from across the room. Even as we’ve gained the ability to gather without leaving our house, many of the fundamentally human experiences that have sustained us have disappeared. In one hundred glimpses of that pre-Internet world, Pamela Paul, editor of The New York Times Book Review, presents a captivating record, enlivened with illustrations, of the world before cyberspace—from voicemails to blind dates to punctuation to civility. There are the small losses: postcards, the blessings of an adolescence largely spared of documentation, the Rolodex, and the genuine surprises at high school reunions. But there are larger repercussions, too: weaker memories, the inability to entertain oneself, and the utter demolition of privacy. 100 Things We’ve Lost to the Internet is at once an evocative swan song for a disappearing era and, perhaps, a guide to reclaiming just a little bit more of the world IRL.

A Wonderful Life
Author: Frank Martela
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0062942794
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 172
Book Description
In a series of essays that explore the notion of what brings significance to our existences, clarifying why we have this longing beyond the present moment and an insatiable dissatisfaction with where we are, scholar Frank Martela tackles the subject of finding meaning in life. With beautiful decorative elements and an engaging design, the book approaches its subject in a readily digestible form. It grapples with some of life’s most pressing questions, like "Is happiness a worthy goal?" and "What is the foundation for meaning in a secular society?" and "Is life an existential void?" yet Martela answers these questions and more in a relaxed, conversational tone and with a wry sense of humor, placing some of life’s greatest philosophical concerns and quandaries into a modern-day context. Martela quickly and concisely gets to the heart of the matter: your place in the world and how to find meaning in life as countless thinkers and philosophers have done before, yet the emphasis here is on what we do with the life we have and how we can make it more meaningful. Part prescriptive and part armchair philosophy book, A Wonderful Life is accessible to everyone, from the well-read scholar to the apprentice as well as anyone curious about how to extract the greatest meaning and sense of purpose from their existence.
