Seeds Of Fear

Using the garden as a metaphor, The Seeds of Love offers a process for creating mindfulness. From a Buddhist perspective, everything affects our consciousness and enters metaphorically as a seed. This occurs through the development of the practice of mindfulness, and using its tools to maintain a state of awareness and openness to self and others. Readers interested in Zen Buddhism will learn how to nurture such seeds as compassion, joy and generosity and to use personal challenges such as jealousy, anger and self doubt as a means of growth. Using precepts from many faiths and traditions, The Seeds of Love fosters the practice of using simple, basic actions to reach the best within ourselves and share it with those around us. It will be an invaluable guide to anyone seeking deeper and more conscious relationships.

Romans 10:17 informs us that faith comes when we read and meditate on the Word of God. That means the Word of God has life-giving power that produces faith in the heart of born-again believers. But how does that happen? God’s Word is living and powerful. It contains seeds programmed to prosper and produce fruit. When sown in the heart, each seed reproduces itself and yields the spiritual fruit of faith. In Word Seeds that Produce Faith and Remove Fear, Doubt, and Unbelief, author Dr. Brenda F. Graham provides a comprehensive look at how the Word of God plants seeds in the heart to produce faith. It presents an overview of: • The power of the word of God in creation and the manifestation of Jesus Christ as the “Word” through a discussion of fear, doubt, and unbelief, and how they can be overcome; • The importance of meditation and prayer in developing strong faith with examples of ways to meditate; • The names of God, including His attributes and characteristics; • God’s plan of salvation with a review of the various terms included in the salvation process. • Word Seed meditations that will grow your personal faith and guide you into a deeper understanding of God’s Word. This guide takes you on a spiritual journey toward wholeness, helping you uncover and embody principles of faith essential for spiritual growth. You learn how to put faith into action through the full meaning of Word Seeds.

Fear vs. Faith is a journey into the two forces that govern our universe, one positive the other negative.

Including a powerful look into two of the most influential men of all time.

Saving More Than Seeds advances understandings of seed-people relations, with particular focus on seed saving. The practice of reusing and exchanging seeds provides foundation for food production and allows humans and seed to adapt together in dynamic socionatural conditions. But the practice and its practitioners are easily taken for granted, even as they are threatened by neoliberalisation. Combining original ethnographic research with investigation of an evolving corporate seed order, this book reveals seed saving not only as it occurs in fields and gardens but also as it associates with genebanking, genetic engineering, intellectual property rights, and agrifood regulations. Drawing on diverse social sciences literatures, Phillips illustrates ongoing practices of thinking, feeling, and acting with seeds, raising questions about what seed-people relations should accomplish and how different ways of relating might be pursued to change collective futures.
