Our seduction into beliefs in competition, scarcity, and acquisition are producing too many casualties. We need to depart a kingdom that creates isolation, polarized debate, an exhausted planet, and violence that comes with the will to empire. The abbreviation of this empire is called a consumer culture. We think the free market ideology that surrounds us is true and inevitable and represents progress. We are called to better adapt, be more agile, more lean, more schooled, more, more, more. Give it up. There is no such thing as customer satisfaction. We need a new narrative, a shift in our thinking and speaking. An Other Kingdom takes us out of a culture of addictive consumption into a place where life is ours to create together. This satisfying way depends upon a neighborly covenant—an agreement that we together, will better raise our children, be healthy, be connected, be safe, and provide a livelihood. The neighborly covenant has a different language than market-hype. It speaks instead in a sacred tongue. Authors Peter Block, Walter Brueggemann, and John McKnight invite you on a journey of departure from our consumer market culture, with its constellations of empire and control. Discover an alternative set of beliefs that have the capacity to evoke a culture where poverty, violence, and shrinking well-being are not inevitable—a culture in which the social order produces enough for all. They ask you to consider this other kingdom. To participate in this modern exodus towards a modern community. To awaken its beginnings are all around us. An Other Kingdom outlines this journey to construct a future outside the systems world of solutions.
A selection of poems by Gerald Stern.
After her mother's mysterious death, a young woman is summoned to the floating city of Sky in order to claim a royal inheritance she never knew existed in the first book in this award-winning fantasy trilogy from the NYT bestselling author of The Fifth Season. Yeine Darr is an outcast from the barbarian north. But when her mother dies under mysterious circumstances, she is summoned to the majestic city of Sky. There, to her shock, Yeine is named an heiress to the king. But the throne of the Hundred Thousand Kingdoms is not easily won, and Yeine is thrust into a vicious power struggle with cousins she never knew she had. As she fights for her life, she draws ever closer to the secrets of her mother's death and her family's bloody history. With the fate of the world hanging in the balance, Yeine will learn how perilous it can be when love and hate -- and gods and mortals -- are bound inseparably together.
In the first part of 'Apocalypse, Remote Vision' we have observed the points that deal with what is related to the 'Great Tribulation' that our world will live and even the elect and faithful (so that with this many may be perfected, and likewise many other lukewarm awaken ). I have told you that the basis of these two "end-world" books is intuition, premonition, visions, revelations, dreams, extrasensory perception and remote viewing regarding things to come, and I have chosen many topics that I have been able to compare and link with each other. There are other popular people who have seen remarkable things, but some of them are not the subject that I am dealing with here at the moment, or they are not entirely clear. There are others from which data can be taken with tweezers, as is the case of Mrs. 'Baba Vanga', a Bulgarian citizen who predicted many things in her time. She is said to have given specific dates for future events, but the times and sequences attributed to the events predicted by her are exaggerated and mixed up in their temporal location. Baba Vanga would have died on August 11, 1996, at the age of 85, and the only allusion that seems coherent that he gave for just after his death is the one that defines that by 2018 the nation of China would become the new power world. Even so, we will see that this will not be exactly the case, despite the fact that it is now the global economic power - and perhaps the second or third military power on our planet. If we remove the dates that he is supposed to have mentioned, and simply refer to his warnings, then we do have logical citations and which coincide with a host of other prophecies. Vanga is said to have prophesied that after China became the world power, the subsequent thing would be that the Earth's orbit would change slightly; I would also have argued that then Europe would have serious demographic problems, that hunger would slowly become a problem for humanity, that there would be polar melting and strong sea level rise, and the like. It is also said that he warned that later the world economy would improve remarkably while in Europe the Muslims dominate. We already know that this has to do with the new currency and the Islamic invasion, but Vanga adds something strange...
Joseph Pulitzer had not originally intended to award a prize for poetry. An initiative by the Poetry Society of America provided the initial impetus to establish the prize, first awarded in 1922. The supplement volume chronicles the whole history of how the awards for this category developed, giving an account based mainly on confidential jury protocols from the Pulitzer Prizes office at New York’s Columbia University. This volume completes the series "The Pulitzer Prize Archive".
The fifteenth collection by a celebrated poet whose “terrific, boisterous energy has never flagged” (Megan Harlan, San Francisco Chronicle). In Save the Last Dance, Gerald Stern gives us a stunning collection of his intimately personal—yet always universal, and always surprising—poems, rich with humor and insight. Shorter lyric poems in the first two parts continue the satirical and often redemptive vision of his last collection, Everything Is Burning, while never failing to carve out new emotional territory. In the third part, a long poem called "The Preacher," Stern takes the book of Ecclesiastes as a starting point for a meditation on loss, futility, and emptiness, represented here by the concept of a "hole" that resurfaces throughout.
