Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - On Top of Beacon Hill presents a homecoming of art and philosophy in verse. Powered in the tradition of existential thought, the phenomenological composition seeks to transport readers to the fertile and authentic realm of elemental being through a rare blend of Eastern, Western, and indigenous styles. Learn how to express your emotions fearlessly, and with excellent distinction. Make your spiritual ends meet, gloriously, inducing shamanic-trained impeccability from your actions, and appreciating, most intimately, the causal force of eternity, Nietzsche's 'eternal recurrence.' Packaged tightly with semantics, but never shackled by them, the poems explore some classic topical clashes within Eastern and Western thought. But in a word: a simple yet austere program to power, to cognitively fill out the authority of your sensory capacity, indeed, philosophically pioneering the mental charge of emotions-not governing but engaging them-like hound dogs leading the hunt, as we sow raw and timeless seeds On Top of Beacon Hill.Language is ContradictionIn time, language seeks negation dialectically, as the right leg seeks the left for movement. In the utilization to articulate ideas, contradictions become apparent, because correspondence is a stack of letters, cogently fashioned from wild thoughts for fermentation of domestication.Language exists now, yet requires structural reflection and afterthought, both of which are peripheral thoughts in Platonic forms of thinking inside immediacy. And that which seems coupled from a distance (here vernacular forms with immediacy) defines via contradistinction. So, language is the nativity of dialectics, since it is acting definition, plus possession: clutching at building materials, some sentimental reflection of yesteryear, and the flux of the thoughts of the morrow .…

'In grief, you are not alone,' we often say to comfort grieving loved ones. But tell that to the woman who feels like her world has just been turned inside out. During two inconceivably difficult weeks, author Trish Rankin's life radically morphs into something almost unrecognizable. Her husband dies of an inoperable brain tumor, and, simultaneously, their son suffers liver failure.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - America is under attack-from within. American Manifesto identi es the enemy-self-serving federal legislators-and proposes a peaceful, legal solution: depriving them of re-election.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - It's the Christmas season-'the most wonderful time of the year' for most people in River City, California. But for Jehovah's Witnesses Lawrence and Brad, it's a time for them to try to explain 'the truth' about this holiday season to the people of the community. Their earnest efforts may earn them ridicule, disagreement, or a door slammed rudely in their faces, but they persist-and are sometimes able to find a mind and heart receptive to their urgent message about Jehovah's coming Kingdom.Whereas for Elders Skousen and Marshall-two Latter-day Saint (Mormon) missionaries-the season is another opportunity to share their Church's distinctive interpretation of the Christian gospel; but their efforts are often rebuffed, as well.In the course of their work, these two pairs of men engage in dialogue with traditional Christians, as well as members of the Church of Christ; the Community of Christ (RLDS); Seventh-day Adventists; and 'Oneness' Pentecostals-not to mention skeptics, atheists, and the increasing numbers of people who lack any particular religious beliefs.But when a local church brings in a researcher to give a series of lectures on 'Cults'-and specifically targeting the Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons-a confrontation is ensured, where theological and biblical concepts collide in a public forum.Who, if anyone, really has 'the Truth' Can one still discover the 'true meaning of Christmas' in the midst of passionate disagreements over the validity of the holiday season Are objections raised about the secularization and rampant commercialism of the modern celebration valid Spend a holiday season (or any other season) with some interesting and intellectually-stimulating characters, as they explore these and other challenging questions.(Readers of the author's earlier novel, A Multicultural Christmas, will be pleased to see a brief reappearance of two characters from that book.). …
