An Extraordinary Journey of the Ordinary

People, Pandemic and the Lockdown

By: Marilyn Gracey Augustine

In the process of evolution, human beings have overcome a multitude of challenges and trials. One such recent encounter was with the pandemic COVID-19. The onslaught of a pandemic is not new in history, not so frequent and will also not be the last. However, during this pandemic, while some people perished, many evolved fighting against it and that’s what makes the journey of human species fascinating. This book is a perception of the journey of a variety of demographics through the pandemic and the series of lockdowns initiated to contain it. If on one hand, there was a closure of economic, religious, education and governmental institutions, on the other, there were attempts made to go digital and cope with new realities. While the women and LGBTQ+ community became vulnerable in their homes, the migrant labourers and sailors longed to return to their homes. If addiction to adult films was worrying, the actors in this industry struggled to survive. The small shopkeepers and domestic helpers were left in a lurch. The journey was tough yet extraordinary. As we move towards a new normal, how well prepared are we? Do we have any lessons learnt?

Read It Speak It Do It

Taking the Promises of God Off the Page and Into Your Daily Life

By: Marilyn Hickey

“Where are you?” At the age of 11, Marilyn asked God this simple, yet profound question. God’s reply was equally as simple, yet profound: “I am in the Word.” His response made sense, and Marilyn began to read the Bible. At night, she would kneel on the floor and pray the Scriptures before going to bed. She had no idea that this would lay the foundation for her life and ministry — that these simple practices were shaping her destiny. Several years later, Marilyn heard a teaching on not just reading and doing what the Bible said, but also speaking it. That revelation, along with God’s mercy and grace, produced astonishing miracles in Marilyn’s life over the last six decades. She wants these same miracles for you! In Read It. Speak It. Do It. Marilyn gives you the blueprint that she has used for reading the Bible, speaking its promises, and acting on what the Word says. You will gain practical strategies on: ■ Reading, studying, and meditating on the Bible. ■ Taking a passage of Scripture and speaking it over your life. ■ Wielding the Sword of Truth (the Word) during spiritual warfare. ■ Walking out the Word in faith and expecting miracles. Living a miraculous life is not just for international evangelists and preachers; it is also for you! Victory begins when you read it, speak it, and do it!

Names of God

By: Marilyn Hickey

Tapping Into God’s Infinite Supply Each of God’s names reveals a wonderful aspect of His nature that can meet your deepest needs, comfort you in times of personal tragedy, and release you to new heights of praise in times of joy. God is so vast that the heavens cannot contain Him. Likewise, His personality is so complex that one name cannot adequately describe Him. Throughout the Bible, God revealed Himself to His people through His various names. When the Israelites were fearful, God revealed Himself as Jehovah Shalom, meaning “the Lord my Peace.” When they were uncertain of His will, He revealed Himself as Jehovah Rohi, meaning “the Lord my Shepherd.” He is also Jehovah Jireh, “the Lord our Provider,” and Jehovah Rophe, “the Lord our Healer.” Marilyn Hickey’s practical teaching on nineteen different names of God will whet your appetite to pursue fully God’s love and purpose for your life.

George Eliot's Religious Imagination

By: Marilyn Orr

George Eliot's Religious Imagination

A Theopoetics of Evolution

By: Marilyn Orr

George Eliot's Religious Imagination addresses the much-discussed question of Eliot’s relation to Christianity in the wake of the sociocultural revolution triggered by the spread of theories of evolution. The standard view is that the author of Middlemarch and Silas Marner “lost her faith” at this time of religious crisis. Orr argues for a more nuanced understanding of the continuity of Eliot’s work, as one not shattered by science, but shaped by its influence. Orr’s wide-ranging and fascinating analysis situates George Eliot in the fertile intellectual landscape of the nineteenth century, among thinkers as diverse as Ludwig Feuerbach, David Strauss, and Søren Kierkegaard. She also argues for a connection between George Eliot and the twentieth-century evolutionary Christian thinker Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. Her analysis draws on the work of contemporary philosopher Richard Kearney as well as writers on mysticism, particularly Karl Rahner. The book takes an original look at questions many believe settled, encouraging readers to revisit George Eliot’s work. Orr illuminates the creative tension that still exists between science and religion, a tension made fruitful through the exercise of the imagination. Through close readings of Eliot's writings, Orr demonstrates how deeply the novelist's religious imagination continued to operate in her fiction and poetry.

Scheherazade's Sisters

Trickster Heroines and Their Stories in World Literature

By: Marilyn Jurich

Based on the author's discovery of a new folktale type, the female trickster, Jurich's book identifies and celebrates those female protagonists in folktales who use trickery to save themselves and others, to find new directions for their lives, and to declare their individual autonomies, especially in societies that diminish and oppress women. Through creative strategies depending on verbal facility, psychological acuity, and diplomatic know-how, these women tricksters—better named trickstars—uncover the absurdity, hypocrisy, and corruption in the larger patriarchal society. Through the trickstar's efforts, the system is circumvented or foiled, often enlightened, and usually improved. This multicultural, comparative study reveals universal human traits as well as gender differences between female and male tricksters and realizes the values and attitudes which shape the trickstar's character and behavior. Trickstars also appear outside of the oral folktale tradition; the author discusses their roles in contemporary feminist revisionist tales, as well as in mythology, biblical narratives, Shakespearean comedy, novels, plays, and opera. How the female trickster differs from her male counterpart is, for the first time in folklore studies, illustrated through a comparison of their functions in the narrative scheme of the tale. These functions include the diverting or amusing role, the morally ambiguous or reprehensible role, the role of the manipulator or strategist, and the role of the transformer or culture bringer who reforms and improves the nature of her society. Jurich delineates the specific types of tricksters who perform these functions, suggests how trickstar tales variously affect listeners and readers, and shows how particular types of trickstar characters contribute to the intent of the tale. Feminist views of the protagonists are analyzed as well as contemporary revisionist tales which seek to reverse negative female images and to present independent women characters who can and do make positive contributions to society. For the first time in folklore studies, both female and male tricksters are defined and differentiated, their functions are illustrated through analyzing narrative schemes, and the term trickstar, invented by the author, is used to define and describe a female trickster.

Walking the Road

Race, Diversity and Social Justice in Teacher Education

By: Marilyn Cochran-Smith

Mapping the way to reconceptualizing teacher education today, Marilyn Cochran-Smith guides the reader through the conflicting visions and ideologies surrounding the education of teachers for a diverse democratic society. “Our profession is at a critical crossroad. . . .We must accept Cochran–Smith’s challenge to speak loudly and articulately for social justice and democracy. Could our society face a more urgent or compelling issue?” —From the Foreword by Jacqueline Jordan Irvine "This volume represents not only the best of Cochran-Smith, it represents the best of teacher education. These essays are hard–hitting yet lyrical, provocative yet poetic, theoretically sophisticated yet practically useful. Teacher education is in good hands.” —Gloria Ladson–Billings, University of Wisconsin–Madison

Both books can be purchased together as a set, Building Conceptual PlayWorlds for Wellbeing: The Lonely Little Cactus Story Book and Accompanying Resource Book.

Intended for use with the accompanying picture story book, The Lonely Little Cactus, a tale about a cactus that feels lonely living in the desert, this guide offers imagery-rich scenarios, including 20 unique activities, so children have an opportunity to experientially grasp wellbeing concepts that can be otherwise difficult to explain. This resource guides educators and teachers through a range of wellbeing activities, including: Identifying feelings Coping (social support, problem solving, and self-regulation) Friendships (relationship building, working together, time with friends, social skills) Positive emotions (happiness, joy, doing something you love, enjoyment, fun) Relaxation strategies Belonging and inclusion (working together, collaboration, joining in play, including others) Offering a unique opportunity for children to learn about psychological strategies while being engaged in a beautiful narrative and visually captivating illustrations, this is the ideal resource for educators or teachers, support staff, practitioners, and families looking to help children understand and manage their feelings.

Healing Hands

Healing Hands

By: Marilyn Diane Grenion C.

Healing Hands is a part of my life story how I was able to overcome the challenges that I've faced as child and up into adulthood. Growth is a natural process of life but if the foundation is not set right, your growth can be impaired. Parental separation; family disintegration; verbal, mental, and physical abuse; sexual molestation; abandonment; hunger; false accusations; feeling rejected; low self-esteem; depression; marital problems; betrayal; anger; bitterness; and resentment, but yet, desperation for change drove me into the arms of God's loving embrace where I found a sense of meaning, purpose for living, healing, and the ability to forgive by exchanging my will for God's will for my life. Our gifts, talents, and abilities do not always come wrapped in pretty packages but sometimes hidden and then revealed through the seemingly harsh experiences of life. Like Joseph in the Bible, you may suffer at the hands of your own family members and experience some very dark times of your life or by the heavy hands of cruel taskmasters who would want to whip you into subjection or by a Potiphar's wife who would try to rip your robe of righteousness off of you because of their own ignorance of who they are, who and whose you are, and of the will and plans of God for your life. But they can only give to you what they possess and that is their pain. It is written in Romans 8:20 (KJV), "And we know, that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose." There is purpose in your pain. There is testimony and message in your test and mess. There is a crown for your cross and there is compassion for the poor and sick soul. My prayer is that you will experience a sense of peace and healing as you read Healing Hands.

Biblical Truths and the Plan of Salvation

By: Marilyn E. Phelan,Jay M. Phelan

A judge and a retired law professor, co-authors of In His Footsteps: The Early Followers of Jesus, provide in this book a comprehensive study of the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation with an objective to connect the early Scriptures to the New Testament writings of the first believers and to present conclusive proof that the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ fulfilled scriptural prophecies of a promised Messiah. The book clarifies parts of the Scriptures some find difficult to understand given the many languages and translations through the ages in which the nonetheless timeless and amazing words from the Bible were written and recorded. The book details historical events that led to the development of the books of the New Testament and documents the history of the spread of the gospel from the early church to the present. In also reviewing current events that point to a nearing of the end times and a miraculous return of the Messiah, the last chapter includes a timetable of incidents that have led to the new nation of Israel and the return of the Jewish people to their homeland--additional evidence of the truth and the continuing fulfillment of scriptural prophecies.

The Ethical Dimension of the 'Decameron'

By: Marilyn Migiel

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Ethical Dimension of the 'Decameron'

By: Marilyn Migiel

With The Ethical Dimension of the “Decameron” Marilyn Migiel, author of A Rhetoric of the “Decameron” (winner of the MLA’s 2004 Marraro Prize), returns to Giovanni Boccaccio’s masterpiece, this time to focus on the dialogue about ethical choices that the Decameron creates with us and that we, as individuals and as groups, create with the Decameron. Maintaining that we can examine this dialogue to gain insights into our values, our biases and our decision-making processes, Migiel offers a view of the Decameron as sticky and thorny. According to Migiel, the Decameron catches us as we move through it, obligating us to reveal ourselves, inviting us to reflect on how we form our assessments, and calling upon us to be mindful of our responsibility to judge patiently and carefully. Migiel’s focus remains unabashedly on the experience of readers, on the meanings they find in the Decameron, and on the ideological assumptions they have about the way that a literary text such as the Decameron works. She offers that, rather than thinking about the Decameron as “teaching” readers, we should think about it “testing” them. Throughout, Migiel engages in the masterful in-depth rhetorical analyses, delivered in lively and readable prose, that are her trademark. Whether she is examining the Italian of the Decameron, translations of the Italian into English, commentaries by scholars, newspaper articles, or student essays, she asks us always to maintain an ethical engagement with the words of others.

Princess Victoria Ka'iulani

Last Heir of the Hawaiian Kingdom

By: Ralph Thomas Kam,Marilyn Stassen-McLaughlin

This new biography of Princess Victoria Ka'iulani goes far beyond most accounts of her life, which tend to dwell on nostalgic recollections of what could have been rather than the reality of her life. Many of the most cherished depictions of Ka'iulani originate from other people's reflections, rather than the actions and words of the princess herself. By using historical documents, including archival manuscripts, Hawaiian and English-language newspapers, government records, firsthand testimonies, poetry, and mele, a factual and thoroughly supported narrative of Ka'iulani's life during tumultuous times emerges, surpassing fairy tale-like portrayals.

Daddy's Girl

By: Marilyn Sandberg Grenat

This is my autobiography of a self-made man’s self-made daughter. I am proud to be the daughter of my Swedish-born immigrant father. He never felt fear of failure and he always Persevered and persisted in his dreams. Life is a slow process and he pushed through all his trials and he taught me to do the same both by word and by example. I had good Christian parents. The Lord gave me the courage and strength to rear four beautiful, strong children that I adore. The Lord saw to it that I was able to publish three books with His help. I have tried to live by Philippians 4:6 (NIV) which is “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” And to be content with every situation in your life Philippians 4:11b. “Be content whatever the circumstances.” 12b “being content in any and every situation.” And John 14:1 “Do not let your hearts be troubled, but trust in God; and trust also in me (Jesus Christ).” Dad’s actions made me want to try my best and try to accomplish as much as I could even if I had to teach myself along the way. That’s why I feel I am truly a “Daddy’s Girl”. I’m very proud of my accomplished children and grandchildren today. They felt education was important and always strive to be successful. I have been through a lot from losing the joy of my life, Gene, to Alzheimer’s and my precious son, Jeff, to cancer. After writing my second book, “Perseverance and Persistence” about my Swedish immigrant father, comes my autobiography, “Daddy’s Girl” from a man who taught me perseverance and persistence.

From Gratitude to Blessings and Back

By: Marilyn Price,David A. Teutsch

An exquisite combination of Judaism's common blessings, stories from everyday life, and tales and wisdom from Jewish tradition, this book is a source of inspiration and a cause for self-reflection. A resource of over fifty blessings in addition to thoughts about gratitude, this slim volume opens the door for readers to acknowledge the opportunities for thankfulness as they reflect on their personal history and their day-to-day lives. Seeing opportunities for blessings can lead the way to seeing the beauty in their lives. The authors, a storyteller and a scholar who are long-time friends, have brought their diverse skills, insights, and experiences to help people discover the blessings in their own lives and connect afresh to their religious paths. Every person's life is comprised of stories. Each story provides an opportunity for insight into the human condition, as well as a chance to think about the deeper meaning in our lives. Connecting our personal stories--our joys, troubles, and triumphs--to messages from the world's great religions can repair links that for some have long been broken. Many of the book's stories are warm, light, and humorous glimpses into treasured moments like the ones in the lives we all lead.

The Grace Marriage

How the Gospel and Intentionality Transform Your Relationship

By: Brad Rhoads,Marilyn Rhoads

We live in a performance-based world—but happy and hope-filled marriages thrive on grace. Marriage was God’s idea, so we know He designed it to be very, very good. But why do most marriages look disengaged, unappealing, or at best a bit stagnant? For Brad and Marilyn, “the honeymoon was over before the honeymoon was even over.” Both found themselves disillusioned and disappointed. In The Grace Marriage, the authors share how a revelation of God’s grace and fresh conviction of the need for intentional investment transformed their hearts and relationship. What does a grace marriage look like? This book invites couples to explore: Grace and Identity Grace in the Day-to-Day Grace in Crisis Grace and Communication Grace and Sex Grace and Money . . . and more. Choosing to show your spouse the same grace Christ has showed you liberates you to walk in freedom and fullness of joy. If you want your marriage to reflect the vibrancy, creativity, and oneness God intends, you must show proactive, ongoing investment. This book is an essential resource for couples who desire to thrive—not just survive—and who want a marriage that showcases the grace of God to the watching world.
