Through Gyasi’s fantastic interplay of scientific study and life-spanning narrative, she crafts a character who, like so many who have taken a step back from their faith, does not simply or stubbornly “fell the long-growing tree of her belief” without a struggle. Transcendent Kingdom is as much a tale of devastation and growing-up-too-fast resolve as it is the shadow sibling of a psalm. It is not hard to see why Gifty ultimately makes a habit of entering church and simply looking upon Christ’s face-no prayer, simply trying “to make order, make sense, make meaning of the jumble of it all.” The book traces Gifty’s shifting relationship with her childhood faith tradition and the God found therein. Their evangelical church community serves as a reminder that Christianity is not a racism-free zone. These details also shape a disturbing portrait of racism as experienced by Gifty’s Ghanian immigrant family in their new home of Huntsville, Ala. Gyasi writes about life as it is lived, in the details: the painkillers hidden inside a light fixture, the cutting dialogue between mother and child, the scent of cooking oil. Gyasi creates characters that are fully human: real people with real pain, schoolgirl journals filled with years of entries addressed to God, smell-induced memories that haunt. His love is so big, so unconditional that he send his only son to die for people. Chan is only trying to help readers expend their view of God and realize how big God’s love for people is. Your life will completely change once you engage in a passionate love relationship with God.Ĭhan’s Crazy Love bookis quite easy-to read and understand. According to Chen, Christians should fall head over heels in love with God. What makes this Christian book so popular, is the radical message that it carries around. The fact that this book was sold in over 1,000,000 copies tells us everything. Aside from his popular Crazy Love book, Francis Chain is also an author of several other books, study guides and teaching DVDs.Ĭrazy Love enjoyed an enormous popularity since its release in 2008. The idea of this book is to teach average Christians how to engage in a crazy, relentless relationship with God. Crazy Love book became New York Times bestseller right after it was published by David C. Crazy Love was written by Francis Chan, a former founding and teaching pastor of Cornerstone Community Church in Simi Valley, California in 2008. Korda does not buy fashionable conspiracy theories surrounding Monroe’s death, although he does place Bobby Kennedy in Monroe’s home right before she dies. Unfolding on the side is a subplot about the mob and Jimmy Hoffa. After she has the abortion Bobby demands, Monroe slips into a deep depression and eventually overdoses. Pretty soon she’s pregnant, supposedly with Bobby Kennedy’s baby. JFK sends his baby brother Bobby to deliver the bad news, and before Bobby can say “Ethel” he winds up in the sack with Monroe too. In “The Immortals,” Jack Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe carry on a passionate affair from 1954 to 1961, with the Prez dumping the Movie Star once he gets to the White House. It will be interesting to see Madonna - who does have talent and who I think is very bright and very sharp and very much her own person - portray somebody in her own way as opposed to the miniseries way of portraying Jack Kennedy or Marilyn, where you basically get people who plod through as lookalikes.” “Madonna is going to be Madonna whether she plays Marilyn or not. “I think it will be fascinating,” he says. Korda likes the idea of Madonna as Marilyn. (Gossip columnist Liz Smith says Madonna has been reading “The Immortals” to see if she’s interested in portraying the legend she’s often compared to.) And then, there are the Sacred Caves, the caves that Ayla's mentor-the Donier, the First of the Zelandonia-takes her to see. Whatever the obstacles, Ayla's inventive spirit produces new ways to lessen the difficulties of daily life: searching for wild edibles to make delicious meals, experimenting with techniques to ease the long journeys the Zelandoni must take, honing her skills as a healer and a leader. The two participate in hunts to provide food, in travels to Summer Meetings for decision making, and in social activities. The wisdom that Ayla gained from her struggles as an orphaned child, alone in a hostile environment, strengthens her as she moves closer to leadership of the Zelandonia.Īyla and Jondalar's first priority is the care for their golden-haired child, Jonayla, and the well-being of their amazing animals, Wolf, Whinney, Racer, and Gray. They are faced with new challenges, not just the ordinary trials of sheer survival, but the complications posed by many groups of people who need to live and work together. Ayla, one of the most remarkable and beloved heroines in contemporary fiction, continues to explore the world and the people around her with curiosity, insight, and above all, courage.Īs the story opens, Ayla, Jondalar, and their infant daughter, Jonayla are welcomed by the Zelandonii, but problems arise. Auel brings the ice-age epic Earth's Children series to an extraordinary conclusion. Her first novel was The Viper of Milan (1906), after which she produced a steady stream of writings until the day of her death on 23rd December 1952. She was married twice: first, from 1912-16, to a Sicilian named Zefferino Emilio Constanza, who died of tuberculosis, and then to one Arthur L. After this, Bowen's prolific writings were the chief financial support for her family. Her books are much sought after by aficionados of gothic horror and received praise from critics.īowen's alcoholic father left the family at an early age and was eventually found dead on a London street.

This is the go-to Italian cookbook for students, newlyweds, and master chefs, alike.
It’s a battle I fight in my thought-life. It’s easier said than done, and it requires action against the sin that dwells in me. I sow to the good by doing God’s will – which is the good. God has given me the opportunity to define the rest of my life by what I sow – by the little choices I make during everyday life. My thoughts go to a verse in Galatians 6:7, "Do not be deceived, God is not mocked for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.” I don’t need to be anxious about what the future will bring me. The book has caused me to think introspectively. “Buy a house? Get married? University? Accept the job offer?” These important choices that we all have to make are often a cause for worry and anxiety, while others approach them with ignorance or even indifference. Jay describes twenty-somethings as caught in the middle of their ‘freedom years’ and the stress of trying to figure out what they should be doing for the rest of their lives. Renzetti, on this chapter appears at the end of the chapter. Rape's critical function is nothing more or less than a conscious process of intimidation by which all men keep all women in a state of fear. Man's discovery that his genitalia could serve as a weapon to generate fear must rank as one of the most important discoveries of prehistoric times, along with the use of fire and the first crude stone axe. Man's structural capacity to rape and woman's corresponding structural vulnerability are as basic to the physiology of both our sexes as the primal act of sex itself. But we do know that human beings are different. No zoologist has ever observed that animals rape in their natural habitat, the wild. The subject of rape has not been, for zoologists, an important scientific question. Critical to our study is the recognition that rape has a history, and that through the tools of historical analysis we may learn what we need to know about our current condition. So it remained for the latter-day feminists, free at last from the strictures that forbade us to look at male sexuality, to discover the truth and meaning in our own victimization. Krafft-Ebing, Freud, Adler, Jung, Deutsch, Horney, Marx, and Engels were mostly silent on the topic of rape as a social reality. With over 2.5 million copies sold, this seminal book is unanimously regarded as the definitive work on the subject of women's psychology. Against Our Will: Men, Women and Rape, by Susan Brownmiller (1975). Feminist Icon Phyllis Chesler's Pioneering Work, Women and Madness, Remains Startlingly relevant today, over thirty years since its initial publication in 1972. After Syracuse, he became a professor at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, BC (Canada).īecker came to the recognition that psychological inquiry inevitably comes to a dead end beyond which belief systems must be invoked to satisfy the human psyche. The first of his nine books, Zen, A Rational Critique (1961) was based on his doctoral dissertation. In his early 30s, he returned to Syracuse University to pursue graduate studies in cultural anthropology. Upon graduation he joined the US Embassy in Paris as an administrative officer. After completing military service, in which he served in the infantry and helped to liberate a Nazi concentration camp, he attended Syracuse University in New York.
