Book Description
'I was suddenly plunged into the most brilliant light, but it did not hurt my eyes or burn my skin. I could not see the sun; it was as if the light was everywhere so nothing cast a shadow. I did not feel air moving against my skin; the absence of that seemed strange. I could not remember having died; I was alive in the body, and then I was here.' Drink deeply from the fountain of God's love as you open and read the Kairos Letters, written to women inmates who are believers in Jesus Christ. Jesus's love satisfies as nothing else can, nourishing in us a garden of delight for our Lord to dwell in. Immerse yourself in the imagery of God's gardens from the Bible to let this love fill and overcome you. Each of these letters takes you into a different garden where God shows his amazing love in an amazing way. Learn about the private garden he has planted in your heart and the plants that are growing there. Meet face to face with the Gardener of your heart in the paradise he is creating in you.

The Rhetoric of Lincoln's Letters
Author: Marshall Myers
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476631158
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 221
Book Description
Lincoln's letters have been cited in countless biographical and critical works yet have received little scholarly attention as a whole. This comprehensive study reveals his letters to be fundamental to understanding his development as a writer. Early on, he employed Hugh Blair's popular idea of developing "taste" in written documents, and carefully studied the letters of his contemporaries. He wrote more than 5000 of his own. As he became more proficient, he employed more sophisticated rhetorical strategies to deal with political opponents, imperious generals and critics of his policies.

Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Your Journey to Self-Discovery “What is truly important to me? Who am I? What is this feeling I always have within me?” These are some of the questions Jennifer James’ newest book helps your answer. Tapping into spiritual teachings and mythologies, Visions from the Heart outlines the twenty “vision steps” most common to the wisdom traditions that provide instructions, restrictions, reassurance, and direction. She suggests using these steps to deepen your own self-knowledge: “What should I do? What do I want? How do I feel?” Or you can use them for business: “What would work? What is the weakness or the strength of this project?” Or they can be useful for family and relationship issues: “What is going wrong in my family? What part is each person playing? What would make the family work better? Who needs to change?” With candor and warmth, she shares many of the personal insights she gained about her childhood, her relationships, and her career while on her own vision quest. She gives us powerful excerpts from many literary and cultural works, including poetry and fiction, to ponder and reflect upon. Most of all, Dr. James serves as a real teacher in setting up guideposts to help each of us discover our own spirit.

Letters to Power
Author: Samuel McCormick
Publisher: Penn State Press
ISBN: 0271072180
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 201
Book Description
Although the scarcity of public intellectuals among today’s academic professionals is certainly a cause for concern, it also serves as a challenge to explore alternative, more subtle forms of political intelligence. Letters to Power accepts this challenge, guiding readers through ancient, medieval, and modern traditions of learned advocacy in search of persuasive techniques, resistant practices, and ethical sensibilities for use in contemporary democratic public culture. At the center of this book are the political epistles of four renowned scholars: the Roman Stoic Seneca the Younger, the late-medieval feminist Christine de Pizan, the key Enlightenment thinker Immanuel Kant, and the Christian anti-philosopher Søren Kierkegaard. Anticipating much of today’s online advocacy, their letter-writing helps would-be intellectuals understand the economy of personal and public address at work in contemporary relations of power, suggesting that the art of lettered protest, like letter-writing itself, involves appealing to diverse, and often strictly virtual, audiences. In this sense, Letters to Power is not only a nuanced historical study but also a book in search of a usable past.

Ancient Love Letters
Author: Anna Tiziana Drago
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3110989476
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 340
Book Description
This volume investigates the form of love letters and erotic letters in Greek and Latin up to the 7th Century CE, encompassing both literary and documentary letters (the latter inscribed and on papyrus), and prose and poetry. The potential for, and utility of treating this large and diverse corpus as a ‘genre’ is examined. To this end, approaches from ancient literary criticism and modern theory of genre are made; mutual influences between the documentary and the literary form are sought; and origins in proto-epistolary poetic texts are examined. In order to examine the boundaries of a form, limit cases, which might have less claim to the label ‘love letter’, are compared with more clear-cut examples. A series of case studies focuses on individual letters and letter-collections. Some case studies situate their subjects within the history and literary evolution of the love letter, using both intertextuality and comparative approaches; others placing them in their cultural and historical contexts, particularly uncovering the contribution of epistolarity to erotic discourse, and to the history of sexuality and gender in diverse eras and locations within Classical to Late Antiquity.
