He Took My Lunch!

He Took My Lunch!

Gary B Lewis

Gary B. Lewis
2024
pokkari
An incident which took place in an isolated place amongst thousands of people changed the life of young Yosef ― a nine-year-old boy ― forever. As he listened to the greatest teacher of all time talk in parable-stories, and he watched Him perform incredible miracles, Yosef began to realize that despite his young age, he had the faith of a mustard seed.He'd been out all day with his best friend, and like everyone around him, he was getting hungry. Yosef's small faith was stirred to the point of offering up what was left in his lunch pack to the Teacher. He had every confidence that the teacher would know what to do with it.Woven throughout this fictional work based on the retelling of this biblical story of the feeding of the 5000; the reader will come across similar notional backstories of other miraculous events from the synoptic gospels happening all around about the same time. These stories include issues of forbidden-love & romance, family relationships, barrenness in child-bearing, surrogacy, prayer, faith and obedience ... including answers of healing and supernatural provision.The author will also challenge the reader's biblical thinking to consider the possibility of how each of these stories maybe somehow being mysteriously interconnected.

An Epistle to an Apostle

An Epistle to an Apostle

Gary B Lewis

Gary B. Lewis
2024
pokkari
An Epistle to an Apostle. REALLY? Never heard of such a thing? Just suppose for a moment ... weird as it may sound ... that a little-known young man named Titus, wrote a letter to the Apostle Paul.What would he write about? What might we learn from his writing? What sort of language expressions might he have used? Would he be flippantly expressive or respectfully fastidious? Why would he have written 'an epistle to an apostle' after all?This book is about considering all these questions and more. The author speculates that Titus did write, at least on one occasion; but just to keep readers on their toes, there is an unexpected twist in that premise. Did Titus write to Paul before he received Paul's letter, or did he write after receiving it?Consider the possibility that Titus, was somehow a time traveller from the future ... who just so happens to put in an appearance in the first century AD. Surely he would perceive the situation on the island of Crete from a very different worldview.

Macroeconomics and Financial Crises

Macroeconomics and Financial Crises

Gary B. Gorton; Guillermo L. Ordoñez

PRINCETON UNIVERSITY PRESS
2023
sidottu
How financial crises are inherent features of macroeconomic dynamicsThere are no bigger disruptions in the functioning of economies than financial crises. Yet prior to the crash of 2007–2008, macroeconomics incorporated financial crises simply as bad shocks, like earthquakes, failing to consider them as an intrinsic phenomenon of the evolution of macroeconomic variables, such as credit, investment, and productivity. Macroeconomics and Financial Crises rethinks how technological change, credit booms, and endogenous information production combine to generate financial crises as inherent and recurrent reactions to macroeconomic dynamics.Gary Gorton and Guillermo Ordoñez identify short-term debt, collateral, and information as common elements that are present in all financial crises. Short-term debt is a critical element for storing value over short periods without fear of loss, but there needs to be collateral backing the debt. Critically, the collateral should be such that no agent wants to produce information about its quality. The debt backed by such collateral is information-insensitive. Gorton and Ordoñez argue that, during a credit boom, as more and more firms get loans, the economy reaches a tipping point where information production becomes too tempting, disrupting short-term debt and cutting most firms out of the credit market.Showing how a financial crisis is an information event triggered by the dynamics of macroeconomic variables, Macroeconomics and Financial Crises provides new perspectives on the intricate relations between macroeconomics and financial crises.

nidottu
These are personal memoirs of a Merchant Seaman as he struggles through his early years shipping out, to finally getting to the "big bed" as Captain. He ultimately becomes the Captain of the ship that found the Titanic in 1986, with Chief Scientist Dr. Robert Ballard on board. He describes how he was prone to seasickness and how he dealt with it. He explains how he sends 12oz styrofoam cups down to the bottom of the ocean on the submersible submarine "Alvin", and how they shrink down to the size of a thimble. And he mixes in a bunch of "sea stories", some of which are quite humorous, about the cast of characters that he's had to deal with during his 40-year career of going to sea.

Livy

Livy

Gary B. Miles

Cornell University Press
1997
pokkari
Some critics of the Roman historian Livy (59 B.C.-A.D. 17) have dismissed his work as a compendium of stale narratives and conventional attitudes. Gary B. Miles reveals in Livy's history a creative interplay between traditional stories, contemporary ideological assumptions, and the historian's own perspective at the margins of Roman aristocracy. Drawing on a range of critical approaches, Miles considers Livy's stance as a historian, the ways in which he reworked his sources, and his interpretation of such historical phenomena as recurrence, continuity, and change. Miles focuses on the foundation stories with which Livy begins his account, detecting in Livy's rendition certain original conceptions of historical time including the suggestion that Roman identity and greatness might be preserved indefinitely through successive reenactments of a historical cycle. Miles pays particular attention to two stories—those of the abduction of the Sabine women and of Romulus and Remus, showing how Livy's versions of these traditional narratives—far from leading to a simplistic moral—address unresolved political issues of his day. According to Miles, Livy shows an unusually tenacious willingness to confront dilemmas in historiography and Roman ideology which were commonly ignored or suppressed by both his predecessors and his contemporaries.

That We May Be One

That We May Be One

Gary B Agee

WILLIAM B EERDMANS PUBLISHING CO
2022
pokkari
Transcending divisions and healing the broken Body of Christ. Disunity is a reality within churches today. Left unaddressed, political disagreements and racial inequities can fester into misunderstanding, resentment, and anger. But often the act of addressing this discord prompts further animosity, widening fissures into gaping fault lines between fellow members of the same community. Gary Agee, a pastor well-versed in leading diverse congregations, reflects here on the roots of division within the church and the virtues and practices that can promote the restoration of unity. With disarming honesty and humility, Agee offers sage advice gleaned from Scripture and years of practical experience to show how we might fulfill Jesus's prayer on behalf of the church: "That all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. . . . That they may be one as we are one." At the end of each chapter, Agee includes exercises, discussion questions, and suggested practices, providing a concrete path to unity through dialogue and action.

The Forgotten People

The Forgotten People

Gary B. Mills; Elizabeth Shown Mills; H. Sophie Burton

Louisiana State University Press
2013
nidottu
Out of colonial Natchitoches, in northwestern Louisiana, emerged a sophisticated and affluent community founded by a family of freed slaves. Their plantations eventually encompassed 18,000 fertile acres, which they tilled alongside hundreds of their own bondsmen. Furnishings of quality and taste graced their homes, and private tutors educated their children. Cultured, deeply religious, and highly capable, Cane River's Creoles of color enjoyed economic privileges but led politically constricted lives. Like their white neighbors, they publicly supported the Confederacy and suffered the same depredations of war and political and social uncertainties of Reconstruction. Unlike white Creoles, however, they did not recover amid cycles of Redeemer and Jim Crow politics.First published in 1977, The Forgotten People offers a socioeconomic history of this widely publicized but also highly romanticized community- a minority group that fit no stereotypes, refused all outside labels, and still struggles to explain its identity in a world mystified by Creolism. Now revised and significantly expanded, this time-honored work revisits Cane River's ""forgotten people"" and incorporates new findings and insight gleaned across thirty-five years of further research. This new edition provides a nuanced portrayal of the lives of Creole slaves and the roles allowed to freed people of color, tackling issues of race, gender, and slave holding by former slaves. The Forgotten People corrects misassumptions about the origin of key properties in the Cane River National Heritage Area and demonstrates how historians reconstruct the lives of the enslaved, the impoverished, and the disenfranchised.

Priestly Celibacy

Priestly Celibacy

Gary B. Selin; J. Francis Cardinal Stafford

The Catholic University of America Press
2016
nidottu
Pope Francis has called mandatory priestly celibacy “a gift for the Church,” but added “since it is not a dogma, the door is always open” to change. As this Church discipline continues to be debated, it is important for Catholics to delve into the theological and not merely pragmatic reasons behind its continuation. Priestly Celibacy: Theological Foundations, therefore, fills a critical gap in the current theological literature on this important aspect of ecclesial ministry and life, and also helps to contribute to the advancement of the rather underdeveloped theology of priestly celibacy.A review of contemporary literature shows that works abound on the history, sociology, psychology and spirituality of priestly celibacy. However, little has been offered in the way of a theology per se. This book will catch readers up on the theological reflection that has been done, while proposing a Eucharist-based theology of celibacy distinguishing priestly celibacy from general theologies of celibacy or virginity.Fr. Gary Selin presents a systematic theology of priestly celibacy, with a special focus given to the development of the threefold scheme of priestly celibacy, i.e. its christological, ecclesiological, and eschatological dimensions. The volume begins with a summary of the biblical foundations of clerical continence and celibacy, and then reviews the development of the discipline in the Latin Church from the patristic era to the twentieth century, while also tracing the emerging theology that underlies the practice. The focus then switches to the teaching of Vatican II, Paul VI and subsequent magisterial texts, as elaborated through the threefold dimension of celibacy. The final two chapters consists of Selin’s original contribution to the discussion, particularly in the form of various proposals for a systematic theology of priestly celibacy, each of which is organized around the Eucharist as the interpretative key. These proposals should stimulate further debate and development in this timely theological area.
