Evil Paradise by Jane Schwalger-Wyatt Pdf

Evil Paradise is based on the author’s unique and moving life story. Jane Schwalger-Wyatt was born the illegitimate child of a wealthy plantation owner’s nephew and a traditional village girl on the exotic Polynesian island of Samoa. Born between two cultures and classes in the turbulent post-colonial years, and unwanted by either parent, her future looked bleak. After Jane’s birth, a pact was made between her grandmother and her wealthy great aunt. Jane spent her first ten years as a village girl raised by her grandmother, with her identity kept secret. Although adored by her grandmother, she endured hardship, brutality, and sexual abuse. Upon her grandmother’s death, Jane escaped to what she thought would be paradise on earth: her rich aunt’s estate, but she discovered that it held terrible secrets. In time, Jane learned about the savage history that blighted the plantation and the bizarre secret kept hidden upstairs in the mansion. After a failed reunion with her father, she was sent to her mother in New Zealand, where she was rejected yet again. Whilst battling overwhelming obstacles to make a life for herself, Jane’s second child was diagnosed with profound disabilities. How she managed to endure proves an unparalleled feat of human endurance and faith. She clung to the few that truly loved her, striving to make a life for herself with fierce and inspirational determination.

Evil Paradises by Mike Davis,Daniel Bertrand Monk Pdf

Evil Paradises, edited by Mike Davis and Daniel Bertrand Monk, is a global guidebook to phantasmagoric but real places—alternate realities being constructed as “utopias” in a capitalist era unfettered by unions and state regulation. These developments—in cities, deserts, and in the middle of the sea—are worlds where consumption and inequality surpass our worst nightmares. Although they read like science fiction, the case studies are shockingly real. In Dubai, where child slavery existed until very recently, a gilded archipelago of private islands known as “The World” is literally being added to the ocean. In Medellín and Kabul, drug lords—in many ways textbook capitalists—are redefining conspicuous consumption in fortified palaces. In Hong Kong, Cairo, and even the Iranian desert, burgeoning communities of nouveaux riches have taken shelter in fantasy Californias, complete with Mickey Mouse statues, while their maids sleep in rooftop chicken coops. Meanwhile, Ted Turner rides herd over his bison in 2 million acres of private parkland. Davis and Monk have assembled an extraordinary group of urbanists, architects, historians, and visionary thinkers to reflect upon the trajectory of a civilization whose deepest ethos seems to be to consume all the resources of the earth within a single lifetime.

Evil in Paradise by John Morris Pdf

John trusted Diane--he had no reason not to--so imagine his horror when he woke being violated by the very woman he thought would never hurt him. He didnt understand what was going on, but she simply told him to hush. When the strange nightmare ended, John began to comprehend what had occurred: hed been drugged and assaulted. He thought his trauma was over when he left Dianes room. Little did he know things would only get worse. John reported what he believed was a crime, but the police didnt listen. In fact, they did the opposite, and rained down harassment, threats, and questionable tactics to make Johns claims go away. Meanwhile, John continually asked himself how Diane could do such a thing to him? How did it happen? Why did it happen? In this true account of one mans horrific retelling of sexual assault and a failed legal response, John hopes to bring light to what can happen to just about anyone--male or female--despite trust and vague echoes of safety.

Escape from Paradise by Kathleen M. Sands Pdf

With a sure and profound grasp of both the Christian tradition and the postmodern situation, Sands faults mainstream and feminist theologies for failing to recognize the inescapably tragic character of life. Her work is a strong and overt challenge to theology as usual and a call to theologians of all stripes to be ruthlessly honest in their religious reflections.

A Theological Study of The Book of Romans by Arch Bishop D.A. Miller, D.D. Ph.D. Pdf

Paul addressed the Book of Romans to both Jews and Gentiles, even though Rome was primarily a Gentile city. Therefore, it is reasonable to conclude that most believers in the churches at Rome were Gentiles. The reason that this was important is that the Judaizers continued to infiltrate the local churches and Paul was determined to stop their false message of adding law-keeping to grace from taking root, and to demonstrate that the Gospel is for all, Jews and Gentiles.

Psychoanalysis of Evil by Henry Kellerman Pdf

For all our knowledge of psychopathology and sociopathology--and despite endless examinations of abuse and torture, mass murder and genocide--we still don't have a real handle on why evil exists, where it derives from, or why it is so ubiquitous. A compelling synthesis of diverse schools of thought, Psychoanalysis of Evil identifies the mental infrastructure of evil and deciphers its path from vile intent to malignant deeds. Evil is defined as manufactured in the psyche: the acting out of repressed wishes stemming from a toxic mix of harmful early experiences such as abuse and neglect, profound anger, negative personality factors, and mechanisms such as projection. This analysis brings startling clarity to seemingly familiar territory, that is, persons and events widely perceived as evil. Strongly implied in this far-reaching understanding is a call for more accurate forms of intervention and prevention as the author: Reviews representations of evil from theological, philosophical, and psychoanalytic sources. Locates the construction of evil in psychodynamic aspects of the psyche. Translates vague abstractions of evil into recognizable concepts. Exemplifies this theory with the lives and atrocities of Hitler and Stalin. Applies psychoanalytic perspective to the genocides in Turkey, Pakistan, Cambodia, and Rwanda. Revisits Hannah Arendt's concept of "the banality of evil." Psychoanalysis of Evil holds a unique position in the literature and will gather considerable interest among readers in social psychology, psychoanalysis, sociology, and political anthropology. Historians of mass conflict should find it instructive as well.
