Daily Devotions with Jen: Faith, Truth, Reflection

Daily Devotions with Jen: Faith, Truth, Reflection

Jennifer Taylor

Independently Published
2019
nidottu
Daily Devotions with Jen is a series of devotionals that I have written to help people renew their faith in God. But understanding the Bible in its full context can lead to confusion for its readers. I have selected Scripture passages for each devotion to helping break down the messages that God has laid before us. These passages help to create a more broad understanding of how we can keep God as our center in our everyday lives. Through these Devotions it is evident that His promises are great and that His love is eternal. Through faith and the truth of these Scripture passages, there is also time for your own personal reflection.

This book is a small book for anyone who is considering entering a marital covenant, and for those who are already married and might be questioning marital stability. This book provides volumes of information to consider before and once you say "I do." In it, you will be made aware that not everyone wants to be married. Some people are in love with the idea of marriage, and do the work to ensure that their wedding is perfect, but are not willing to put that same energy into the marriage. This book suggests before you say "I do," the importance of asking questions, listening to and believing the answers.

Conversations with Gish Jen

Conversations with Gish Jen

University Press of Mississippi
2018
sidottu
Conversations with Gish Jen is the first collection of interviews with the renowned contemporary American author Gish Jen (b. 1955), whose acclaimed fiction and nonfiction have fascinated American readers for more than thirty years. The conversations in this book offer first-hand information not only about Jen's authorial intentions, but also about her life as a daughter of Chinese immigrants. Spanning more than two decades, beginning in 1991 and ending with a new, unpublished interview from 2017, these interviews provide readers a sense of Jen's development as a novelist and cultural critic. Jen's insights into the merits and drawbacks of Eastern and Western cultures, including American individualism and exceptionalism and Asian interdependent mindset and living principles, provide us with keys to understanding the identity struggles of the author herself as well as her fictional characters. The comparative approach Jen adopts in her comments on such topics as education, politics, business, religion, and concepts of creativity and success provokes readers to reflect on their relationships with themselves, with the society in which they live, and with the rest of the world. At the heart of these conversations is Jen's sense of humor, which makes the book a joyful read for both scholars and casual fans of her work.

Missing the Jen-mo

Missing the Jen-mo

Kurt St Angelo

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2019
nidottu
Eastern enlightenment meets Western dysfunction in this unadulterated comedy screenplay about the funny and fatal sides of sex and masturbation. The Jen-mo is a Taoist term for a soft depression spot between men's anus and scrotum which corresponds with the first chakra of Hindu meditation. When the Jen-mo is pressed hard, this allows men to injaculate instead of ejaculate, which is to save their life-force energy. Physically, missing the Jen-mo is to unexpectedly make a sticky mess. Metaphysically, it is to veer off one's prime spiritual meridian. Metaphorically, it reflects how protagonist Ricky Roberts messes up his life with sex. Injaculation is generally safe, but in the wrong hands it can lead to a mad, mad sexed-up world.

Dialogues with Jen

Dialogues with Jen

Donald R Fletcher

Resource Publications (CA)
2018
pokkari
In Dialogues with Jen: On Issues of Daily Living, five friends, representing three generations, get together to discuss contemporary topics that touch their lives. The six dialogues unfold dramatically, reflecting situations of the participants, who share personal insights, sometimes surprisingly. Jen, the senior member, suggests the lead topic of romantic love, and the discussion moves from carnal attraction to conscious, purposeful love, citing Shakespeare's ""marriage of two minds."" Events of the tragic death of one member's sister and a terrorist attack witnessed by another member lead them to consider guilt, justice, and forgiveness. The dialogues are deeply rooted in spirituality, while not specific to any particular religious tradition. The author loosely draws on the classic Dialogues of Plato to develop arguments through the exchange of ideas of his fictional characters. This book is a sequel to Dialogues with Jay: On Life and Afterlife, but can be read independently. ""Don Fletcher invites us into a conversation on the big questions of life: relationships, consciousness, faith, death--above all, love. This brief book is a wise guide and a safe space in which to have the conversation. Dialogues with Jen would be a helpful resource for a small group to begin their own conversation."" --Gregory C. Faulkner, Senior Pastor/Head of Staff, Trinity Presbyterian Church, Cherry Hill, NJ ""For only love, the more you try to give it away, comes back in ever increasing amounts."" --Jeanette Axelrod, Coordinator, Current Affairs Forum, Lions Gate CCRC, Voorhees, NJ Now in his late nineties, Donald R. Fletcher continues to write, publishing eight books since 2003. Born in 1919, he grew up in Korea, son of Presbyterian medical missionaries, earned degrees at Princeton University and Princeton Theological Seminary, and served the Presbyterian Church in Chile, the Caribbean, and at headquarters. He also taught at high school, college, and university levels in New Jersey, Alabama, and Texas. In 2007 he moved to Lions Gate, a continuing care retirement community, with his wife, Martha, caring for her until her death from Alzheimer's disease in 2014.

Understanding Gish Jen

Understanding Gish Jen

Jennifer Ann Ho

University of South Carolina Press
2016
sidottu
Ho, Jennifer Ann introduces readers to a ""typical American"" writer, Gish Jen, the author of four novels, Typical American, Mona in the Promised Land, The Love Wife, and World and Town; a collection of short stories, Who's Irish?; and a collection of lectures, Tiger Writing: Art, Culture, and the Interdependent Self. Jen writes with an engaging, sardonic, and imaginative voice illuminating themes common to the American experience: immigration, assimilation, individualism, the freedom to choose one's path in life, and the complicated relationships that we have with our families and our communities. A second-generation Chinese American, Jen is widely recognized as an important American literary voice, at once accessible, philosophical, and thought-provoking. In addition to her novels, she has published widely in periodicals such as the New Yorker, Atlantic Monthly, and Yale Review.Ho traces the evolution of Jen's career, her themes, and the development of her narrative voice. In the process she shows why Jen's observations about life in the United States, though revealed through the perspectives of her Asian American and Asian immigrant characters, resonate with a variety of audiences who find themselves reflected in Jen's accounts of love, grief, desire, disappointment, and the general domestic experiences that shape all our lives.Following a brief biographical sketch, Ho examines each of Jen's major works, showing how she traces the transformation of immigrant dreams into mundane life, explores the limits of self-identification, and characterizes problems of cross-national communication alongside the universal problems of aging and generational conflict. Looking beyond Jen's fiction work, a final chapter examines her essays and her concerns and stature as a public intellectual, and detailed primary and secondary bibliographies provide a valuable point of departure for both teaching and future scholarship.
