The Other Side of Infamy
Author: Jim Downing
Publisher: NavPress
ISBN: 1631466283
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 185
Book Description
War is uncomfortable for Christians, and worldwide war is unfamiliar for today’s generations. Jim Downing reflects on his illustrious military career, including his experience during the bombing of Pearl Harbor, to show how we can be people of faith during troubled times. The natural human impulse is to run from attack. Jim Downing—along with countless other soldiers and sailors at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941—ran toward it, fighting to rescue his fellow navy men, to protect loved ones and civilians on the island, and to find the redemptive path forward from a devastating war. We are protected from war these days, but there was a time when war was very present in our lives, and in The Other Side of Infamy we learn from a veteran of Pearl Harbor and World War II what it means to follow Jesus into and through every danger, toil, and snare.

Divine and Demonic in the Poetic Mythology of the Zohar
Author: Nathaniel Berman
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 900438619X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 326
Book Description
Nathaniel Berman’s Divine and Demonic in the Poetic Mythology of the Zohar: The “Other Side” of Kabbalah offers a new approach to the central work of Jewish mysticism, the Sefer Ha-Zohar (“Book of Radiance”). Berman explicates the literary techniques through which the Zohar constructs a mythology of intricately related divine and demonic personae. Drawing on classical and modern rhetorical paradigms, as well as psychoanalytical theories of the formation of subjectivity, Berman reinterprets the meaning of the Zohar’s divine and demonic personae, exploring their shared origins and their ongoing antagonisms and intimacies. Finally, he shows how the Zoharic portrayal of the demonic, the “Other Side,” contributes to reflecting on alterity of all kinds.

The Other Side of the Crisis
Author: Cindy White, MS, PCC
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595489060
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 126
Book Description
There is a quiet crisis, and we each know it when we get there. We've tried to keep busy working, shopping, being socially active, getting high, or focusing on anything else so we wouldn't have to face the terrifying feelings and thoughts that come when we slow down for a moment. The crisis comes when we've done everything we can to feel safe and happy, and we still feel sad, alone, and empty as we lie in bed exhausted each night. The question we each have to answer is, "Who do you think you are?" Because we've mistaken our identity as being "only human," we've accepted limits that do not allow for the realization of our highest potential. Up until now, we've been missing incredible opportunities to live prosperous, loving, joy filled lives! An Emergency Department crisis counselor demonstrates that we are powerful sacred-human beings, with the ability to focus our thoughts and feelings in ways that will absolutely transform our lives. With awareness and practice, we can become our sacred Selves. For those who are hungry for change, it's time to joyfully move to The Other Side of the Crisis.

Light from the Other Side
Author: Jay Harold Ellens
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1498273009
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 174
Book Description
This volume presents the narrative of the author's personal spiritual journey, which is marked by numerous constructive life-changing paranormal experiences that can only be accounted for as special initiates of the divine spirit providing intimations and illuminations. These events are set in the context of the rich literature available, which reports similar events in the lives of many other persons, under both normal and extreme circumstances. The author, a clinical psychologist and pastoral theologian, interprets this broad panoply of psycho-spiritual data in terms of psychological science and biblical perspectives. He concludes that the divine spirit is pervasive throughout the universe and present in all the dynamics of life forms, constantly endeavoring to communicate with humans. Thus, the paranormal may well be more normal than the normal human experience and the veil between time and eternity, between the mundane and transcendent worlds, and between life and the life to come is apparently more permeable in both directions than we suppose.

The God of the Other Side Bible Study Guide plus Streaming Video
Author: Kathie Lee Gifford
Publisher: HarperChristian Resources
ISBN: 0310156947
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 177
Book Description
In the Gospels, we often read of Jesus telling his disciples to travel to the “other side” of the Sea of Galilee. What we don’t often realize is what this other side represented. It was the region of the Decapolis, where many pagan religions were practiced. The disciples, under Jewish law, would have been considered unclean even to step foot there. In this six-session video Bible study, Kathie Lee Gifford and Joanne Moody reveal how Jesus broke through social barriers and reached those on the “other side” whom society had abandoned. Through the stories of the Demoniac, Samaritan Woman, Prodigal Son, four friends of the paralyzed man, and Cornelius and Peter, you will discover the incredible lengths to which God will go to reach those who are lonely, lost, and left behind. You will be challenged to follow Jesus’ example and daily go to the other side for those who need his love. Each session includes clips from The Way oratorios, featuring Kathie Lee Gifford and other well-known personalities, that bring the story of Scripture to life with contemporary orchestral arrangements, powerful narration, and stunning visuals. This study guide includes: Individual access to six streaming video sessions A guide to best practices for leading a group Video notes and a comprehensive structure for group discussion time Personal study for deeper reflection Sessions and video run times: The Other Side (23:00) The Demoniac (24:00) The Samaritan Woman (22:00) The Prodigal Son (22:00) Cornelius and Peter (23:00) The Power of Unity (23:00)

When a battle of wills threatens to tear a family apart, a child shall lead them--straight to a shocking secret. Will they betray their faith--and each other--to keep it buried? After seven years of marriage, Paris Simmons-Holyfield and her husband, Andrew, are still childless. Now Paris is determined to adopt orphaned nine-year-old Jasmine Noble. Trouble is, Jasmine's in the custody of ex-stripper Gabrielle Mercedes. Worse, Andrew is vehemently against the idea--and he's not alone. Paris's father, Lawrence Simmons, a powerful politician, has vowed to shut his daughter down. The only man to even dare be on Paris's side is shady Darius Connors. Unemployed and not quite out of the dog house with his wife, Darius is more than happy to help the beautiful, vulnerable, yet undeterred Paris. . . Paris has her suspicions about why her husband and her father are so opposed to the adoption. But the reality is far more scandalous than she imagines. To get to the bottom of it, she'll have to deal with blackmail from the last person she ever expected--and battle Gabrielle, who'll fight with everything she's got--including the truth. Soon, all involved will learn just what's on the other side of dare. . . "I absolutely love Vanessa's unique writing style." --Mary Monroe
