Behold the Proverbs of a People
Author: Wolfgang Mieder
Publisher: Univ. Press of Mississippi
ISBN: 1626743037
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 679
Book Description
The thirteen chapters of this book comprise an intriguing and informative entry into the world of proverb scholarship, illustrating that proverbs have always been and continue to be wisdom's international currency. The first section of the book focuses on the field of paremiology (proverb studies) in general, the spread of Anglo-American proverbs in Europe, and the phenomenon of modern proverbs. The second section analyzes the use of proverbs in the world of politics, including a chapter on President Obama, while the third concentrates on the uses of proverbs in literature. The final section ends with detailed cultural studies of the origin, history, dissemination, use, function, and meaning of specific proverbs. Noted scholar Wolfgang Mieder shows that proverbs matter in culture, literature, and politics. Proverbs remain part and parcel of oral and written communication, and, he demonstrates, they deserve to be studied from a range of viewpoints. While various chapters deal with a variety of issues and approaches, they cohere through a rhetorical perspective that looks at the text, texture, and context of proverbs as speech acts that make a noteworthy impact on culture and society. Whether proverbs appear in everyday speech, on the radio, on television, in films, on the pages of newspapers or magazines, in advertisements, in literary works, or in political speeches, they serve as formulaic verbal devices to add authoritative weight through tradition, convention, and wisdom.

Beyond the Man
Author: JOANELLE M.P. CHAPMAN
Publisher: Christian Publishing House
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 98
Book Description
Beyond the Man was birthed through the pain and healing I experienced from childhood after years of sexual molestation. This book shares how, with the divine intervention of the Holy Spirit, my family and I were able to look beyond ourselves and brake the generational curse of incestual sexual perversion off our family. Genesis 50:20 "But as for you, ye thought evil against me, but God meant it unto good, to spring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive" The enemy thinks he can hide in the background while he watches us attack the person that did us wrong instead of attacking him. Do not be fooled! He's hoping that we will turn against one another so we never see or acknowledge his work. Well, consider this book an act of putting our true enemy, Lucifer (Satan) in "checkmate." Ephesians 6:12-20 "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."

If you've always struggled with the stereotypical quiet-time, don't give up hope! As a Christian, you know you need to have devotions.

Some of you have valiantly set your alarm clocks back an hour for morning quiet time, only to find that life creeps back in to steal your resolve. It isn't because you don't love God.

Bestselling author Doug Fields offers an uncomplicated, practical plan that you can carry out. This book won't teach you how to "cram God" into your already-full schedule.
