DOWNLOAD EBOOKWelcome to the world beyond all imagination and meet a little boy by the name of Henri Jorge. Although, Henri has a heart ailment that keeps him from being able to play outside like other children his age, he is a most contented little fellow. This truly puzzles most people he meets. When a friend of the family, Madeline Rose, comes for a month's visit to work on a children's book, she is delighted by Henri Jorge and all his imaginings. What a vivid imagination he has! He can sit for hours on end in his own little world, or that is what it seems to be from someone on the outside looking in. However, Mrs. Rose soon discovers that Henri's adventures are not just mere dreams and make believe. Come and join Henri Jorge on his first adventure to this land beyond all imagination, a land where Henri is no longer a sick child, but has rosy red cheeks and can run and play. Share in the excitement as Henri tries to rescue a lavender princess, escapes the clutches of the Keeper of the Keys, and comes face to face with Hayden the Horrible, all the while learning valuable lessons in honesty and forgiveness.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis is the true story of magic and altering time and people who died and beings who introduced themselves as faeries... and this is a story of pottery. It's about smashed fingers, smashed dreams, smashed faeries and the value of throwing up your arms and saying "whatever." It's about impossible things being possible and Rolling Stones playing on unplugged radios. It's about the tragic loss of loved ones and the heart-wrenching grief; and the magic of faerie-like beings showing up in my clay, on my pages, and in my home - which they did very much to my dismay, at least at first. And now a mystery; these same faeries insist on blowing themselves up! This is the story that blurs your boundaries between reality and fantasy and leaves you wishing you could find your way into my world, albeit without the tragedies. As you can imagine, this has not been a simple story to write. Hell, if it were fantasy it would have been easy... but this is my life.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Smith's sage advice will aid Christians in recognizing the simple joys of practicing their faith."--Publishers Weekly Western culture is in a tailspin, and Christian faith is entangled in it: we do kingdom things in empire ways. Western approaches to faith leave us feeling depressed, doubting, anxious, and burned out. We know something is wrong with the way we do faith and church in the West, but we're so steeped in it that we don't know where to begin to break old habits. Popular pastor and speaker Mandy Smith invites us to be unfettered from the deeply ingrained habits of Western culture so we can do kingdom things in kingdom ways again. She explores how we can be transformed by new postures and habits that help us see God already at work in and around us. The way forward isn't more ideas, programs, and problem-solving but in Jesus's surprising invitation to the kingdom through childlikeness. Ultimately, rediscovering childlike habits is a way for us to remember how to be human. Unfettered helps us reimagine how to follow God with our whole selves again and join with God's mission in the world. Foreword by Walter Brueggemann.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKBased on a series of case studies of globally distributed media and their reception in different parts of the world, Imagining the Global reflects on what contemporary global culture can teach us about transnational cultural dynamics in the 21st century. A focused multisited cultural analysis that reflects on the symbiotic relationship between the local, the national, and the global, it also explores how individuals’ consumption of global media shapes their imagination of both faraway places and their own local lives. Chosen for their continuing influence, historical relationships, and different geopolitical positions, the case sites of France, Japan, and the United States provide opportunities to move beyond common dichotomies between East and West, or United States and “the rest.” From a theoretical point of view, Imagining the Global endeavors to answer the question of how one locale can help us understand another locale. Drawing from a wealth of primary sources—several years of fieldwork; extensive participant observation; more than 80 formal interviews with some 160 media consumers (and occasionally producers) in France, Japan, and the United States; and analyses of media in different languages—author Fabienne Darling-Wolf considers how global culture intersects with other significant identity factors, including gender, race, class, and geography. Imagining the Global investigates who gets to participate in and who gets excluded from global media representation, as well as how and why the distinction matters.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWe are currently facing the sixth mass extinction of species in the history of life on Earth, biologists claim—the first one caused by humans. Heise argues that understanding these stories and symbols is indispensable for any effective advocacy on behalf of endangered species. More than that, she shows how biodiversity conservation, even and especially in its scientific and legal dimensions, is shaped by cultural assumptions about what is valuable in nature and what is not.
