A Misconception of Fate by James Bailey Pdf

Five years after fleeing Seattle for a fresh start in Georgia, Sam Hawkins returns, unsure if he's heading home or leaving it behind. His homecoming reunites him with his high school buddies, but after the initial fun and games he comes face-to-face with a stark reality: Unemployment sucks. Work's not much better when his boss rides him and his attempts to casually play the field in a small office blow up in his face. It all just makes quitting that much sweeter. When he finally scores a break, his faith that everything happens for a reason is restored. But the celebration doesn't last long. He wakes up in the park, bruised, battered, and minus one Hawkmobile. Enter 17-year-old Monica Dawsey, who soon begins monopolizing his time, much to the chagrin of his mother--not to mention hers. The hard-drinking Sam and his teenage girlfriend have a settling influence on each other, and they'll need it when life hands them a disappointment so bitter that even Sam can't reconcile it with his vision of fate.

Inverted Prism of Consciousness by Irtimd Kuoilel Pdf

Brush with Horizons Scientists daydream of higher dimensions— Some find these visions exceedingly bright I fall for something not half as pretentious— Thrill of untethered, free, blind flight I crave not snowstorm bursting from cloud Nor dread thick fog that sneaks up on the sly— But flight over water where stars on the ground Brightly reflect limpid stars of the sky Thin razor blade of far, murky horizon Lost in profusion of stalled fireflies May be diagonal, may be up-rising May be redundant, for all that implies Stars, whirling round in dark midnight's embraces— Am, starkly airborne, swept with delight What end awaits me—breaking the surface Grasping the void or awaking in fright? All these don't matter in moment's delusion But for a feeling—like faint, distant scream That, when they find me, my wrists will be oozing— Torn on sharp edges of prodigal dream

Beyond Fate by Margaret Visser Pdf

Many people today are afflicted with a sense that they cannot change things for the better. They feel helpless, constrained, caught ? in a word, fatalistic. Beyond Fate examines why. In her characteristically lively prose, Margaret Visser investigates what fate means to us, and where the propensity to believe in it and accept it comes from. She takes an ancient metaphor where time is "seen" and spoken of as though it were space and examines how this way of picturing reality can be a useful tool to think with - or, on the other hand, how it may lead people into disastrous misunderstandings. By observing how fatalism expresses itself in one's daily life, in everything from table manners to shopping to sport, the book proposes ways to limit its influence. Beyond Fate provides a timely and provocative perspective on modern life, both personal and social.

The Sense of an Ending by Julian Barnes Pdf

BOOKER PRIZE WINNER • NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A novel that follows a middle-aged man as he contends with a past he never much thought about—until his closest childhood friends return with a vengeance: one of them from the grave, another maddeningly present. A novel so compelling that it begs to be read in a single setting, The Sense of an Ending has the psychological and emotional depth and sophistication of Henry James at his best, and is a stunning achievement in Julian Barnes's oeuvre. Tony Webster thought he left his past behind as he built a life for himself, and his career has provided him with a secure retirement and an amicable relationship with his ex-wife and daughter, who now has a family of her own. But when he is presented with a mysterious legacy, he is forced to revise his estimation of his own nature and place in the world.

Destiny and Decision by Fred R. Zimmerman Pdf

In this autobiography of a Christian minister, Fred R. Zimmerman tells the story of his life on the stage of world events that affected him either directly or indirectly. Born to be a minister, he first became aware of his calling early on in his boyhood. Orphaned at eighteen months during the flu pandemic of 1918–19, he was fortunate enough to be adopted by a childless couple. In their capacity as committed church-going Christians, he was wisely nurtured in his mission to become a minister. During his college and seminary years, crises accompanying this destiny began to arise. As his ministry developed through the years, destiny and decision became the yoke (Matthew 11:27–30) under which he exercised the burden of being a pastor. This is therefore a story not primarily of a person but of a God-appointed ministry.

Fate's Child by Joseph Stallings Pdf

Fate Destiny and a three thousand year old prophesy. When two trouble-free country boys end up in the hospital due to an almost catastrophic event, Alexs harsh past comes back to haunt him. His whole life had been a fabrication that his foster aunt and uncle invented to keep his past a secret from him and the rest of the world. After being told that he is not human and awaiting an estranged visitor that can help shed light on his shattered reality, Young Alex must face what fate has in store for him and deal with his new life one day at a time. With a three thousand year old prophesy foretelling his birth and of his importance, Alex and his foster family must overcome the evils that have tracked him after sixteen long years. Now, plunged into a realm of multiple dimensions and surreal beings, Alex must decide if he is to become Earths savior, destroyer, or try to return to his fictitiously normal life with one consequence: that if he does nothing, then in less than three years, his world could come to an end regardless. What would you do if the lives of everyone you loved were placed on your shoulders? Lucky for you, that has not happened; we can only hope Alex makes the right choices.

Pathways to Our Destiny in God by Jill Shannon Pdf

Our soul is our most precious possession. What would a man give for his soul? Do we need to intentionally nurture our soul and protect it from harm and defilement? Can a broken soul be fully restored? The pathways of our soul are a vast network of voluntary choices. The Lord has given us freewill, but not every path will lead to the desired outcome. How do we guard our paths? In this compassionate analysis of these troubled times, Jill shares about the wounds of abuse, deceptively-marketed opioids, sexual predation, and cruel injustices that seem to go unpunished. Many have been led away from their original calling and have been diverted to destructive paths. There is healing for victims of abuse. Knowing the depths of the Lord’s covenantal love and determination, our futures will be restored and aligned with God’s original purposes. The Lord is a loving Shepherd. His leadership is perfect, and He will lead us into paths of righteousness. He will restore our souls! The Lord has predestined us to be conformed to the full maturity of our Messiah (Rom.8:28-30, Eph.4:13-14). The Lord is weaving a glorious destiny for each of our lives, before time began. We are His workmanship. When His tapestry is complete, we will know the joy of having run our race well, in the completion of His purposes for our priceless soul.

Religion and Memory in Tacitus' Annals by Kelly E. Shannon-Henderson Pdf

Throughout his narrative of Julio-Claudian Rome in the Annals, Tacitus includes numerous references to the gods, fate, fortune, astrology, omens, temples, priests, the emperor cult, and other religious material. Though scholars have long considered Tacitus' discussion of religion of minor importance, this volume demonstrates the significance of such references to an understanding of the work as a whole by analyzing them using cultural memory theory, which views religious ritual as a key component in any society's efforts to create a lived version of the past that helps define cultural identity in the present. Tacitus, who was not only an historian, but also a member of Rome's quindecimviral priesthood, shows a marked interest in even the most detailed rituals of Roman religious life, yet his portrayal of religious material also suggests that the system is under threat with the advent of the principate. Some traditional rituals are forgotten as the shape of the Roman state changes while, simultaneously, a new form of cultic commemoration develops as deceased emperors are deified and the living emperor and his family members are treated in increasingly worshipful ways by his subjects. This study traces the deployment of religious material throughout Tacitus' narrative in order to show how he views the development of this cultic "amnesia" over time, from the reign of the cryptic, autocratic, and oddly mystical Tiberius, through Claudius' failed attempts at reviving tradition, to the final sacrilegious disasters of the impious Nero. As the first book-length treatment of religion in the Annals, it reveals how these references are a key vehicle for his assessment of the principate as a system of government, the activities of individual emperors, and their impact on Roman society and cultural identity.
