Deadly Sins Pride And The Love Of Words

PRIDE AND THE LOVE OF WORDS BOOKS OF POEMS AND SHORTIES NOW-DAYS PAST-DAY TO COME *BOOK TO MAKE ONE THINK*

We live in a day and age characterized by an extraordinary amount of agitation and lack of peace. This tendency manifests itself in our spiritual as well as our secular life. In our search for God and holiness, in our service to our neighbor, a kind of restlessness and anxiety take the place of the confidence and peace which ought to be ours. What must we do to overcome the moments of fear and distress which assail us all too often in our lives? How can we learn to place all our confidence in God and abandon ourselves into his loving care? This is what is taught in this simple, yet profound little treatise on peace of heart. Taking concrete examples from our everyday life, the author invites us to respond in a Gospel fashion to the upsetting situations we must all confront. Since peace of heart is a pure gift of God, it is something we should seek, pursue and ask him for without cease. This book is here to help us in that pursuit.

Sin, like death, is an unassailable fact of life. It is also one of the last great taboos for public debate. In this compelling book, the Henry Fairlie shows that it is possible and necessary to talk about sin in ways that enrich our societies and our personal lives. Fairlie relates these ancient sins to the central issues of contemporary life: liberal vs. conservative politics, discrimination, pornography, abortion, the vistas of modern science, and especially the pop-psychologies that confirm the narcissism of our age.

Devotional texts in late medieval England were notable for their flamboyant piety and their preoccupation with the tortured body of Christ and the grief of the Virgin Mary. Generations of readers internalized and shaped the "cultures of piety" represented by these works. Anne Clark Bartlett and Thomas H. Bestul here gather seven examples of this literature, all written in the period 1350–1450, one in Anglo-Norman, the remainder in Middle English. (The volume includes an appendix containing the original texts of the latter six pieces.) The collection illustrates the polyglottal, conflicting, and often polemical nature of devotional culture in the Middle Ages. It provides a valuable context for and interesting counterpoint to the Canterbury Tales and other classic works of late medieval England. The introduction and the translators' headnotes discuss crucial aspects of the texts' histories and thematics, including the importance of the body in spiritual practices, the development of female patronage and of a wide audience for this literature, and the indivisibility of the political and the religious in medieval times.

Peace & Love is a celebration of truth like none before, and like none that will be after, truly one of a kind! The selections within are a reflection of thought that is like a seed to the brain of every man, woman, and child, to be watered by life, and grow into an existence where love is the end result of new found peace. The lie has no home with in the pages of this book, because the lie holds no truth, like a World created by God that holds no peace nor love. In time we live, and in time it is promised that we will forever be, so in time Peace & Love has been placed to collectively bring them that are unconscious to a new consciousness of life, death, truth, lie, good, evil, victory, defeat, success, failure, hope, eternal hope, God, Jesus, and the Devil, you, me, and we. To all that search for understanding and are a student of inspiration, with in this book holds a gift of sincerity, with the purpose to build and destroy, to build a new idea that is the antithesis of all that has kept us in the dark, all that has kept us from one another, and destroy all that has shined light on that which we are not that has made are sunshine like Hells fire, rather than the warmth of Gods love. Opening this book will open your eyes, though you have never been blind, and will breath new air into the lungs that were given by the Father to live, like any food for nourishment the knowledge within can do no harm, only feed the soul. Like anything all may not see what is shown as one mans treasure, is another mans trash, but as trash is unwanted so is the absence of peace and love in a World were Christ is King, and we live, in search of life, life everlasting, this I believe is like motivation to grow with out digression and to digress through progression. Inspirational words, thoughts, and ideas live with in the pages of Peace & Love, thoughts of happiness and joy, pain and agony, victory and defeat, good and evil, God and the Devil, Heaven and Hell, hope and despair, with the purpose to discover truth that will bring clarity to the chaos which can cloud the mind, soul, spirit, and body of any man, woman, or child, letting all whom may journey through its pages know that all are apart of the collective conscious that defines who we are, and that we can only be we, if there is peace and love.
