Like an Empty House

Like an Empty House

Kristine Williams

Finishing Line Press
2021
pokkari
Kristine Williams' first chapbook, Like an Empty House, examines the everyday, those things we often overlook. Through her poems, what others take for granted, becomes transcendent. Using language that is vivid, tactile, often visceral, her work offers us new ways to experience a familiar touch, wash the dishes, take a walk, and in doing so, shows us that common experiences can become a connection to a beautifully complex world. The poems in Like an Empty House explore raising children to adulthood and, ultimately, letting go. Through the metaphor of getting a tattoo with her daughter, the reader can't help but recognize that the pain of getting a tattoo is just one of many hurts that mothers experience. She easily moves from fixing cars in the garage to fixing herself after retirement, from standing in the snow in flip flops while her dog explores in the dark to standing while her husband points out an Eastern Bluebird against the snow.This is also a love story. Like an Empty House shares stories of the long-married with a keen eye, with honesty and openness, showing us that while there is still conflict and resentment, there is also still discovery, still heat and passion.Williams' poems from her experience in a Montessori preschool find meaning in a naptime routine and explore the impact of the opioid crisis in small towns in southeast Ohio.Williams brings us into the natural world that surrounds her in her home of Athens, Ohio and points readers to peepers in a pond or a truck shifting gears on an Appalachian highway. She invites us to stop and clearly see and listen to those things we might be tempted to rush past. Stars overhead become a place to wander. A trip to the road with a trashcan or walking the dog are a meditation. In examining the minutiae of the everyday, she expands the world so that we see our humanity, our connectedness, our vulnerability.In the end, the stories in these poems fill what might once have been an empty house with truths that the reader should not turn away from. Like an Empty House invites us to enter and promises that we will not be disappointed.

Like a Fiery Meteor

Like a Fiery Meteor

Stephen C Taysom

University of Utah Press,U.S.

Joseph F. Smith was born in 1838 to Hyrum Smith and Mary Fielding Smith. Six years later both his father and his uncle, Joseph Smith Jr., the founding prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, were murdered in Carthage, Illinois. The trauma of that event remained with Joseph F. for the rest of his life, affecting his personal behavior and public tenure in the highest tiers of the LDS Church, including the post of president from 1901 until his death in 1918. Joseph F. Smith laid the theological groundwork for modern Mormonism, especially the emphasis on temple work. This contribution was capped off by his “revelation on the redemption of the dead,” a vision accepted by Mormons as a prophetic glimpse into the afterlife. Taysom’s book traces the roots of this vision, which reach far more deeply into Joseph F. Smith’s life than other scholars have previously identified. In this first cradle-to-grave biography of Joseph F. Smith, Stephen C. Taysom uses previously unavailable primary source materials to craft a deeply detailed, insightful story of a prominent member of a governing and hugely influential Mormon family. Importantly, Taysom situates Joseph F. Smith within the historical currents of American westward expansion, rapid industrialization, settler colonialism, regional and national politics, changing ideas about family and masculinity, and more. Though some writers tend to view the LDS Church and its leaders through a lens of political and religious separatism, Taysom does the opposite, pushing Joseph F. Smith and Mormonism closer to the centers of power in Washington, DC, and elsewhere.

Like Friends, Like Foes: Japanese Americans and Nevada Through World War II

Like Friends, Like Foes: Japanese Americans and Nevada Through World War II

Andrew B. Russell

UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA PRESS
2026
sidottu
Like Friends, Like Foes offers a comprehensive analysis of how Nevada residents responded and reacted to the "Japanese Question" during World War II. Both before and during the war, the experience of Japanese American residents of Nevada varied widely. Once the war started, Japanese immigrants experienced an unusual case of mass internment fromthe mining towns of Ruth and McGill, Nevada, while Japanese American railroad workers and their families, scattered across the state, faced sudden layoffs and evictions. At the same time, most of the Japanese Americans living in Nevada fared much better than their counterparts who resided in the surrounding states. Andrew Russell's study examines how variations in local history and local circumstances generated starkly different perspectives and responses to the supposed "Japanese problems" confronting Nevada's small communities, the state, and the larger region. While Russell's interpretive history spotlights some highly unusual developments, it nevertheless offers fresh evidence of how individuals or small groups can play significant roles in combating the abuse of civil rights during times of fear and uncertainty.

Andrew Murray (9 May 1828 - 18 January 1917) was a South African writer, teacher and Christian pastor. Murray considered missions to be "the chief end of the church". Murray pastored churches in Bloemfontein, Worcester, Cape Town and Wellington, all in South Africa. He was a champion of the South African Revival of 1860.In 1889, he was one of the founders of the South African General Mission (SAGM), along with Martha Osborn and Spencer Walton. After Martha Osborn married George Howe, they formed the South East Africa General Mission (SEAGM) in 1891. SAGM and SEAGM merged in 1894. Because its ministry had spread into other African countries, the mission's name was changed to Africa Evangelical Fellowship (AEF) in 1965. AEF joined with Serving In Mission (SIM) in 1998 and continues to this day. Through his writings, Murray was also a key Higher Life or Keswick leader, and his theology of faith healing and belief in the continuation of the apostolic gifts made him a significant forerunner of the Pentecostal movement.

"...Like God?"

"...Like God?"

David N Sonnesyn

Xulon Press
2022
pokkari
Genesis 3:5 - "For God knows that when you eat of it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God knowing good and evil." Thus Satan planted pride and doubt in the minds of Eve and Adam and man's rebellion began. "...LIKE GOD?" describes Postmodern Infatuation with New Age, Neo-Spiritism, "Progressive" Christianity, and Critical Theory from historical, psychological, and theological perspectives. Americans are living in confusing and dangerous times. New Age thought is now the mindset of the average American. The evidence is everywhere that the "Cancel Culture" has rejected Judeo-Christian ethics. Common sense is lost and topsyturvyism reigns. False prophets and doctrines are elevated to "woke" status. The Bible is mocked and fewer Christians actually study it carefully. Biblical truth is obscured by a cloud of mysticism, doubt, and speculation. "In this thorough and well-researched work, David Sonnesyn brings a lawyer's mind to the task of exposing and challenging the leading false worldviews of our day. He leaves no heresy unexposed and exposes all of them to the liberating truth of Christianity." Douglas Groothuis, Ph.D., Professor of Philosophy and Apologetics at Denver Seminary, author of Christian Apologetics: A Comprehensive Case for Biblical Faith; Walking Through Twilight: A Wife's Illness - A Philosopher's Lament; Philosophy in Seven Sentences; and twelve other books. Dave has a Juris Doctorate from the University of Colorado and has practiced law in Longmont, Colorado, for 56 years. A sinner saved by grace, for 28 years he has taught and led seminars on Christian Apologetics including New Age, Neo-Spiritism, Critical Theory, and Reasons to Believe. Dave and his wife, Deana, are blessed to have 6 children and 13 grandchildren.

Like a Shadow That Never Departs

Like a Shadow That Never Departs

Randall K Scott

Iuniverse
2021
pokkari
"Like a shadow that does not depart" is the exciting biography of Ananda, Buddha's attendant during the last 25 years of his life. In an age before writing, Ananda heard and memorized all of Buddha's estimated 84,000 sermons and 15,000 stanzas without omitting a syllable. He also strongly advocated a Buddhist order of nuns, which Buddha approved. Although Ananda did not become enlightened until Buddha's parinirvanization, he was de facto Chief-of-Staff for Buddha. Ananda scheduled Buddha's appointments, so he exerted enormous power over who could see Buddha, even the senior enlightened arhats, who technically out-ranked Ananda. Ananda implemented important organizational changes in the sangha as it grew; thereby giving Buddha a planned, structured system for his travels and sermons. He was Buddha's constant shadow. He ministered to Buddha's needs. He set up Buddha's camp when the sangha was traveling. He guarded Buddha with his ever-present staff. Ananda was one of Buddha's pivotal disciples. Without his incredible photographic memory and methodical approach, it is questionable whether Buddhism would have grown into a major religion.

At the end of June 1860, the great and good of Britain's intellectual establishment gathered in Oxford for the annual jamboree of the Association for the Advancement of Science. Only six months after the publication of Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species, the stage was set and the characters in place for the mother of all donnybrooks. But for all the posturing and opinionating about the nature of evolution, the exchanges held massive and broader implications for social authority and established control in a changing world. Although taking place over 150 years ago, the Oxford debate still inflames the same passions today and continues to set the defining terms for the struggle between science and religion. As such, this book is as much a pertinent contribution to today's cultural wars as it is a convincing historical record.

It is not a question that marriages today, especially in this country, are under attack. The sacred union between man and woman through the lenses of our nation has seemingly lost its value and respect amid a growing culture that has degraded its significance-this is an epidemic in its own right.

God is the Creator of all things, including marriage. Like any creation, God has in Mind the purpose of the creation before He creates it. Minister Julien Folks passionately shares insight on helping young singles and married couples understand that God has a methodology in revealing His plan and purpose within His marriage covenant. Throughout this book, readers will identify one underlining principle: "How the marriage thinks as one in Christ propels them through every difficulty with a new perspective in God." In his first book, Like-Minds: Two Hearts, One Mind, One God-Rediscovering the Value of Marriage, the author shares solid scriptural support, personal challenges, and experiences to outline the process and spiritual journey both husband and wife must commit to in ensuring an overall healthy, sustaining, and successful marriage. Join countless others who are rediscovering the purpose of marriage while learning practical and necessary tools to engage Two Hearts, through One Mind, in One God.

Like Rolling River Free highlights three central characters: Swami Saradananda, Sara Bull, and Sarah Farmer, who played a critical role in the growth of American spirituality. The author examines Swami Saradananda's life in detail, weaving together strands from America's religious and cultural history.

His contributions to the Ramakrishna Order provided it with essential guidance and they continue to reverberate today. Join the author as she explores how Saradananda spread a message of religious harmony as you learn about Vedanta, one of the six schools of Hindu philosophy.
