This is a book about life in all its aspects, which mirrors the
journey of every man and connects with that which is eternal,
unchanging. In this book the author has sought far and wide among
the great religions and philosophies, and has drawn on the work of
inspired poets and writers, to find answers to some of the
questions about life. Out of the seeming diversity, a timely
message of hope and encouragement emerges, reminding all of the
brotherhood of man and the underlying unity of all things. A
special feature of this book is that every page is handwritten in
calligraphy by Dorothy Boux who has also illustrated it with subtle
watercolours.
Gustav Landauer was an unconventional anarchist who aspired to a
return to a communal life. His antipolitical rejection of
authoritarian assumptions is based on a radical linguistic
scepticism that could be considered the theoretical premise of his
anarchism. The present volume aims to add to the existing
scholarship on Landauer by shedding new light on his work,
focussing on the two interrelated notions of skepsis and
antipolitics. In a time marked by a deep doubt concerning modern
politics, Landauer's alternative can help us to more seriously
address the struggle for a different articulation of our
communitarian and ecological needs.
Currently, the nation's attention is concentrated on the
long-standing sexual misdeeds conducted by prominent political,
sports, and entertainment figures, which has been succinctly
captured by the "#Me Too" movement. This movement has spread to
call into question the actions of leaders in religious institutions
and organizations, providing the context for research that examines
the experiences of individuals and groups as they engage in their
daily activities within these establishments. #MeToo Issues in
Religious-Based Institutions and Organizations is an essential
research book that provides comprehensive research into the effects
of the #MeToo movement on institutions and organizations with a
significant religious basis and reveals challenges and issues of
welcoming gender and diversity. Readers will gain insights and
tools for improving social conditions in their personal lives, in
places of worship, in organizations, and in academic or other
institutional environments. Highlighting a range of topics
including diversity, gender equality, and Abrahamic religions, this
book is ideal for religious officials, church leaders,
psychologists, sociologists, professionals, researchers,
academicians, and students.
Contemporary psychology is highly influenced by positivism and
scientific naturalism. Psychological studies make efforts to
control the variables and provide operational definitions of
subjective constructs in order to reach the most concrete
conclusions. Such efforts are admirable in natural sciences since
they have led to a better life. But, this worldview has deprived
contemporary psychology of more qualitative sources of knowledge
like wahy (revelation). The present book introduces Islamic
psychology as a paradigm, which can apply wahy knowledge and
consider religious/spiritual dimensions of humans in scientific
exploration. The first part discusses the possibility, foundations,
and characteristics of Islamic psychology. The second part
introduces research methodology in Islamic psychology. The third
part reviews the Quranic theory of personality and highlights the
concept of shakeleh. Finally, the fourth part presents the theories
and methods of religious psychotherapy in the Islamic tradition.
Each part provides introductory content for readers interested in
Islamic psychology.
This book explores some key biblical principles of the kingdom of
God and relates them to some (very) basic math. It draws on
geometry and divinity to come up with some innovative practical
theorems that are sure to titillate your mind and spirit. Put your
thinking hat on Once you are born again, you are expected to grow
through: faithfulness, obedience, observing, and doing God's Word.
I call it "FOOD for growth," "GrowthFOOD," or simply "GFOOD." Eat,
and live The book teaches that everyone has a life cycle. We all
have shelf lives, use-by dates, and best-before dates. Are you past
your use-by date? Furthermore, this book unveils a secret hidden in
1 Corinthians 12:31. Having church on the basis of spiritual gifts
is excellent, but God expects his children to put into practice the
agape love in its unconditional sense-the same way God loves us:
the more excellent way. Ever heard of the Pythagoras theorem?
Unveiling the connection between the Triune God and the tripartite
man (both 3 in 1), the book takes you through what I call the
intricacies of divine geometry, some interesting mental and
spiritual gymnastics. Every human being is a triangle, the
equilateral triangle being the standard of all shapes. Moving from
Pythagoras theorem to what I call masochagoras theorems, you are
sure to find out what type of triangle you are The book also
explores the meaning of numbers. Discover their significance in
your life. Some masochagoras theorems to do with numbers are
proposed. Enjoy the intricacies of divine algebra. True worship
happens when the human equilateral triangle connects in agape love
with the divine equilateral triangle. Let God's kingdom come in
your life. Apply the proposed masochagoras theorems and enjoy life
in the kingdom-forever
