Examines ?Attar's didactic sufi poetry in historical context from a rhetorical, recipient-centred perspective Provides an accessible introduction to the didactic mode in Persian literature Uncovers a poetics of didacticism that was never systemtised in the rhetorical or philosophical tradition Traces the implications of the 'medicinal metaphor', in which speech is likened to medicine Explores literary allegory's relationship to visionary experience Investigates how didactic texts evoke oral discourse and how ?Attar's frame-tale structures mediate between textuality and orality Much Persian sufi literature is explicitly didactic, aiming to instruct its readers and motivate pious reform. Moving beyond a recapitulation of religious content, The Poetics of Spiritual Instruction investigates the performative function of didactic poetry for mystical audiences, focusing in particular on the verse of Farid al-Din ?Attar, a central figure of the tradition best known for long narrative poems imbued with edifying sufi themes. Through a series of sensitive and creative readings, O'Malley shows how ?Attar uses frame-tales, metapoetic commentary, and allegories to think through his relationship with his readers, imagine and guide their reactions to his work, and perform his instructive authority. By teasing out this implicit, recipient-centred poetics, O'Malley recovers sufi didacticism's participatory, interactive character and shows how the act of reading was invested with ritual significance as a spiritual exercise aimed at the purification of the soul.

TARGETED PRAYERS for AMAZING RESULTS Unlocking the Mysteries of the Prayer of Jabez
In one simple prayer, Jabez caught God's attention and received a life-changing miracle from a life of pain and sorrow to a life of abundance, prosperity, establishment, and security (I Chronicles 4:10). Why was his prayer answered abundantly? Because Jabez understood that only the power of God can change any situation, no matter how dire, and he was determined to see change. So, he made targeted requests to God asking for blessings, enlargement and for evil to be removed from him, and God answered his prayer. As a result, he became more honorable than his brothers according to the Bible. In this book, Prophet Austin Idahosa will deepen your understanding of spiritual mysteries and unseen forces that operate behind the scenes to hinder the blessings that God has in store for every Christian. He also provides directions on how to pray targeted prayers that will enable you to break through your limitations and enter into sustainable divine blessings and abundance. When you pray targeted prayers with understanding and determination, you obtain amazing results. Prophet Austin Idahosa is the General Overseer of Recreation Fire and Miracles Ministries, a prophetic, healing, and deliverance ministry with headquarters in Minnesota, USA. He is married to Pastor Elizabeth Idahosa, and they are blessed with beautiful children.
