In the Name of the Mother

In the Name of the Mother

Why isn't God a Mother? Lisa M. Cataldo argues that we resist the Mother God image because to fully engage 'Her' requires us to encounter our earliest experiences of absolute dependence. To meet the Mother God is to meet dissociated aspects of ourselves - namely, those parts which contain envy, destructiveness, and the fear of annihilation. Using illustrations from traditional and feminist theology, Cataldo exposes the way in which women and mothers have been positioned in the realm of 'theological problem'. The work traces the genesis of religious experience to the earliest relationship with mother, finding in foundational psychoanalytic texts traces of the 'numinous mother'. Cataldo shows that the earliest experience with mother links existentially and psychologically with a terror of dependence, annihilation, and 'falling forever' and the dissociation of what Winnicott calls the 'female element' in both women and men. The book finally considers ways in which the attachment to a God who is primarily Father-Creator might serve to 'hide' the Mother God.

Most people wouldn't buy an infamous murder house to renovate for fun. But Sarah Slade is not most people. A therapist and self-help writer with all the answers, Sarah has just bought a gorgeous Victorian in the community of her dreams. Turns out, you can get a killer deal on a house where someone was murdered. Plus, renovating Black Wood House makes for great blog content and a decent distraction from her failing marriage. Good thing nobody knows that her past is just as filthy as the bloodstain on her bedroom floor. But the renovations are fast becoming a nightmare. Sarah imagined custom avocado wallpaper, massive profits, and an appreciative husband who wants to share her bed again. Instead, the neighbors hate her guts and her husband still sleeps on the couch. And though the builders attempt to cover up Black Wood's horrifying past, a series of bizarre accidents, threatening notes, and unexplained footsteps in the attic only confirms for Sarah what the rest of the town already knew: Something is very wrong in that house. With every passing moment, Sarah's life spirals further out of control--and with it, her sense of reality. But as she peels back the curling wallpaper and discovers the house's secrets, she realizes that the deadly legacy of Black Wood House has only just begun.

A failed TV news reporter with a talent for shark-fishing returns to her hometown just as bodies begin washing ashore in this nail-biting suspense novel from the author of The Stranger Upstairs. Minnow Greenwood, previously known for stealing her way into the hearts of viewers as Melbourne's number one morning show host, is now back in her small hometown of Kangaroo Bay. After a horrifying and unexpected episode, she has no choice but to join her estranged brother in their family business of shark fishing. For an insomniac like Minnow, the work is strangely thrilling--there's something alluring about the dark water at night. Something exciting, grimy... fitting. And maybe it's not even so bad reconnecting with her brother, who's the only person who ever saw her for herself. But the last thing she expects to surface on the beach is a human body. Kangaroo Bay is a town quietly brimming with rage towards invasive tourists and host to a disquieting number of shark attacks--there's no sympathy for the wayward swimmer. Except the media soon uncover that the victim was declared missing weeks before, and was long dead before they even entered the water. When the journalist in Minnow kicks back into drive, she discovers something else: for over forty years, there have been a steady number of missing persons around the area, including her own father's disappearance ten years ago. This is her one opportunity to reclaim her career as a journalist, and to learn what really happened to her father, but as Minnow digs deeper into the spate of missing tourists and the mystery of her father, she realizes someone is desperate to keep the secrets buried. . .and then another body washes ashore.

As a child I watched my Mom, Gram, great-aunts, and aunts dedicate time to send cards and share baked good with those needing a pick-me-up. Births, deaths, wedding anniversaries, and celebrations were recorded on "the" calendar. At the close of each year, they were transferred to following year's calendar so no one would be forgotten. A name written meant there was a reason to pray and encourage someone on that date. In addition to prayer, tangible remembrance and celebration blessed them too on occasion. A tradition I pray to pass on to my daughter, grandchildren, and hopefully YOU This book is divided by the months of the year. Each month then has four categories to organize your information. These are: birthdays, wedding anniversaries, Anniversaries of Death, and miscellaneous dates someone might need a little encouragement. Keep this resource with your address book, near the telephone, or in your purse. You never know when there will be cause to add a new life event and opportunity to bless and encourage someone else.
Sexual Fluidity

Sexual Fluidity

Lisa M. Diamond

Harvard University Press

Is love “blind” when it comes to gender? For women, it just might be. This unsettling and original book offers a radical new understanding of the context-dependent nature of female sexuality. Lisa M. Diamond argues that for some women, love and desire are not rigidly heterosexual or homosexual but fluid, changing as women move through the stages of life, various social groups, and, most important, different love relationships. This perspective clashes with traditional views of sexual orientation as a stable and fixed trait. But that view is based on research conducted almost entirely on men. Diamond is the first to study a large group of women over time. She has tracked one hundred women for more than ten years as they have emerged from adolescence into adulthood. She summarizes their experiences and reviews research ranging from the psychology of love to the biology of sex differences. Sexual Fluidity offers moving first-person accounts of women falling in and out of love with men or women at different times in their lives. For some, gender becomes irrelevant: “I fall in love with the person, not the gender,” say some respondents. Sexual Fluidity offers a new understanding of women’s sexuality—and of the central importance of love.
