The Sound of the Dove by Beverly Bush Patterson Pdf

In The Sound of the Dove, Beverly Bush Patterson explores one of the oldest traditions of American religious folksong, a national heritage of great beauty and dignity that remains vital in the lives and worship of predestinarian Primitive Baptists in the southern mountains. This unaccompanied and frequently unharmonized congregational singing challenges our assumptions about creativity, aesthetics, meaning, and identity. Patterson's revealing study incorporates interviews, field observations, historical research, song transcriptions, and musical analysis. She uses seventeenth-century English documents to trace historical antecedents of Primitive Baptist singing and to frame her discussion of religious belief and gender roles as they intersect with singing. One chapter is devoted to the role of women in this church.

Bringing the Hidden to Light by Kathryn F. Kravitz,Diane M. Sharon Pdf

Geller is Irma Cameron Milstein Professor of Bible at Jewish Theological Seminary. Geller's attention to language and interest in applying the methods of literary analysis to the Hebrew Bible are reflected in his work throughout his career. He has addressed such topics as "The Dynamics of Parallel Verse" in Deuteronomy 32, the "Language of Imagery in Psalm 114," and the literary uses of "Cleft Sentences with Pleonastic Pronoun." Combining a historical orientation with deep exegeses of individual texts, he has focused on the contribution that the literary approach might make to the study of biblical religion. He has developed what he terms a "literary theology," in which, by examining the literary devices in the passage under consideration, he has been able to formulate emerging religious ideas that the ancient writers did not express in systematic treatises. His method is illustrated in his studies of texts that represent the major religious traditions of the Hebrew Bible; these studies have been collected in Sacred Enigmas, published in 1997. The essays in this volume were contributed by colleagues, friends, and students of Stephen A. Geller to mark the occasion of his 65th birthday. Contributors include: Tzvi Abusch, Marc Z. Brettler, Alan Cooper, Frank Moore Cross, Stephen Garfinkel, Edward L. Greenstein, Robert A. Harris, S. Tamar Kamionkowski, Kathryn F. Kravitz, Anne Lapidus Lerner, David Marcus, Yochanan Muffs, Benjamin Ravid, Michael Rosenbaum, Raymond P. Scheindlin, William M. Schniedewind, Diane M. Sharon, Benjamin D. Sommer.

The Bird Book by Patsy Levang Pdf

There was only the bird book to tell her story. She left it as unfinished as her life seemed to be. The question of who she was led me to begin searching for the answers. Years ago I should have started searching while she was still alive; however, I did not really know about her until it was too late. I refused to have her life and legacy forgotten, and yet I was so slow in acting. I suppose there are those who would say that I should not invade the territory of one who is already gone. However, it has always been in me to find out the answers, and so for that reason, Alma's story must be told. She left her story in phrases she composed. She left her story in the pieces of artwork she created. She left her story in the memories of those who knew her.

The Mourning Dove's Message by Nancy Larsen-Sanders Pdf

Deborah Jorgenson is just four years old when she witnesses racism for the first time. Unfortunately, the hatred is directed at her. Born to Swedish parents in Minnesota in the early 1900s, Deborah believes her dark hair and skin come from a great-grandmother. When a fellow student bullies her and tells her she is an Indian, Deborah wonders why. Taught by her elderly Hopi Indian mentor to solve all her problems without resorting to violence, the strong-willed Deborah continues to hold her head high throughout her challenging coming-of-age journey. But when she is thirteen, her parents inexplicably turn against her and one another, setting off a chain of events that change the course of Deborah's future forever. She marries her childhood sweetheart Christian Nelson, and they have two sons, Jonathan and David. In 1929, they buy a farm in Northwest Kansas ignoring concerns about the future economy and drought. Christian worries about those in their county who believe Deborah to be Indian. Neither can begin to predict the challenges that await them. The Mourning Dove's Message shares the unforgettable journey of one woman's brave struggle to survive in the face of the chaos and adversity that overshadows 1930s America.

Almond Eyes Hears The Dove's Cries by JAFAR ALAM Pdf

“Jafar Alam speaks with the duty of the poet, the duty of honesty. In his sweeping anthology, he explores the echoes of moments, the contour of memory, and our most cherished desiderata. Each poem is a journey, and each leads to the heart-sculpted truth. There is no end here, only the heart left trembling at dusk at the emotion of the eternal shared by all who journey. Through his words, we are reminded of our own depths. We are stirred. And like the river, our souls grow deeper.” —Tristan Raghunan (Halal Meat, Heart Like A Drum) “Words that come from the heart, enter the heart—this book is proof of the statement. A captivatingly rich collection of poetry that touches the soul.” —Maryam Noori (Night of Sawa)

The Seventy Disciples and the Gospel of the Dove's by Rev. Daniel F. Owsley Pdf

Now is the time to focus on the apostate church. And this book teaches that it's additionally the alarming hour of spiritual warfare and the God ordained season for all obedient followers of His most amazing Living Love to go on the offensive, in the presence of every mumbling and hypocritical soul, who propagates their narrow minded beliefs as they do their best at keeping Jesus Christ Almighty from being freely worshiped in the Spirit of Truth. Let therefore the people of God now immediately arise and beat their spiritual plowshares into the sharpest swords of the Spirit of the Ages. Furthermore, let them hammer their pruning hooks into the sharpest spears of Light that will effortlessly pierce the darkness of many hardened hearts. Then shall angelic prayers even proceed those born again children who are a great people and mighty in God's strength. And such warriors of the Commander of All shall suddenly scale immeasurable spiritual walls like mighty men of war, using grappling hooks of Truth, on loan from He that's always Faithful and True unto all who salute Him by placing their hands over their hearts which only beat for Him alone. Great shall be that army of Light as they break not their ranks in obedience to our Chieftest of All.
