An Advent Alphabet by Jeffrey A. Mackey Pdf

William Stringfellow, activist lawyer and advocate for the underprivileged of New York, was either embraced warmly or rejected as a radical by Christians in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s when he was writing. Nonetheless, his writings remain timeless, pertinent, convicting, and spiritual directives. Taking his hopes in the two Advents of Jesus from out of his writings gives us a piercingly dynamic devotional for Advent. These readings will make one think, pray, and act. Possibly his words are most applicable today.

S Is for Star by Reynolds Cynthia Furlong Pdf

The Christmas story and the origin of many holiday traditions are thoroughly detailed in the text of S is for Star: A Christmas Alphabet. The first Christmas cards were printed and sold in the United States by a German immigrant in 1874. Long ago, eating pie was believed to bring good luck, and during the holidays they were baked in an oblong shape to look like a manger. The message of Christmas is a message to all the world and is beautifully conveyed and illustrated in S is for Star. Our tradition of gift-giving is based on the Wise Men's visit to Baby Jesus. Nearly every country has its own gift-giving traditions. In Great Britain, children eagerly await Father Christmas. In France, he is called Pere Noël. In Italy, Befana brings presents, and German and Austrian children wait for a visit from the Christkindl. Celebrate these and many other traditions of the holiday season with S is for Star: A Christmas Alphabet.

The ABC's of Advent by Anna E Portillo Pdf

The season of Advent is a time of waiting; it is a time of preparing our hearts for the coming of our Savior, Jesus. "Advent" is a word that means "coming," just like Jesus came to the earth to live with His people. While we wait for the coming of Christmas, may the simple truths found in the letters of the alphabet of this book help you and your children to learn more about the Truth of Jesus, and about the wonder that the Savior has come for us! How to use this book: Work through one letter each day, starting November 30th (to continue through Christmas Day), or November 29th (to finish on Christmas Eve). Parents will enjoy reading aloud with younger children, or as a family devotion, and using the final sentence of each letter's paragraph as an Advent reflection. Each letter has an ornament corresponding to its picture to color in the back of the book. You may make photocopies of the ornaments for each child to color every day, insert a hanger, and then hang them on a clothesline or small Christmas tree, as a reminder of the letters and lessons already studied. Children will enjoy watching the tree fill up with ornaments, as they learn the impact of the unfolding story of Christmas and wait in anxious anticipation for His coming. Especially for ages 3-10.

The Alphabet Versus the Goddess by Leonard Shlain Pdf

This groundbreaking book proposes that the rise of alphabetic literacy reconfigured the human brain and brought about profound changes in history, religion, and gender relations. Making remarkable connections across brain function, myth, and anthropology, Dr. Shlain shows why pre-literate cultures were principally informed by holistic, right-brain modes that venerated the Goddess, images, and feminine values. Writing drove cultures toward linear left-brain thinking and this shift upset the balance between men and women, initiating the decline of the feminine and ushering in patriarchal rule. Examining the cultures of the Israelites, Greeks, Christians, and Muslims, Shlain reinterprets ancient myths and parables in light of his theory. Provocative and inspiring, this book is a paradigm-shattering work that will transform your view of history and the mind.

Inventing the Alphabet by Johanna Drucker Pdf

The first comprehensive intellectual history of alphabet studies. Inventing the Alphabet provides the first account of two-and-a-half millennia of scholarship on the alphabet. Drawing on decades of research, Johanna Drucker dives into sometimes obscure and esoteric references, dispelling myths and identifying a pantheon of little-known scholars who contributed to our modern understandings of the alphabet, one of the most important inventions in human history. Beginning with Biblical tales and accounts from antiquity, Drucker traces the transmission of ancient Greek thinking about the alphabet’s origin and debates about how Moses learned to read. The book moves through the centuries, finishing with contemporary concepts of the letters in alpha-numeric code used for global communication systems. Along the way, we learn about magical and angelic alphabets, antique inscriptions on coins and artifacts, and the comparative tables of scripts that continue through the development of modern fields of archaeology and paleography. This is the first book to chronicle the story of the intellectual history through which the alphabet has been “invented” as an object of scholarship.

A Brief Introduction to The Arabic Alphabet by John F. Healey,G. Rex Smith Pdf

The Arabic alphabet has a rich history, one that is closely linked with the development of culture and society in the Middle East. In this comprehensive introduction the authors trace the origins of the Arabic alphabet back to Aramaic, which also gave rise to the Hebrew and Greek alphabets. Using detailed illustrations the authors investigate early Arabic papyri and early Islamic inscriptions as well as classical Arabic scripts. John F. Healey and G. Rex Smith bring the story up to the present day by examining the practice of calligraphy, printing and computing in Arabic.
