Sinopse

"Sacred Flames" explores the profound role of fire in shaping human culture, religion, and mythology across the globe. Examining fire as more than just a tool, the book reveals its significance as a symbol of divinity, transformation, and even destruction. One intriguing insight is the deification of fire in various cultures, where flames are seen as a manifestation of the divine, embodying power and spiritual energy. Another focuses on fire rituals, such as cremation ceremonies and solstice celebrations, which highlight fire's role in purification and rebirth. The book takes an interdisciplinary approach, weaving together religious studies, anthropology, and archaeology to provide a comprehensive understanding. It begins by introducing fire's basic properties and its early impact on human development, then delves into how different cultures conceptualize fire in their myths and religious practices. The chapters progress thematically, investigating fire deities, rituals, and myths of world conflagration, culminating in a discussion of fire's enduring legacy in contemporary culture. "Sacred Flames" offers a valuable lens through which to understand our shared heritage and the complex relationship between humanity and this elemental force.

    God's face is always shining toward us 
     
    Our God is not asleep, nor indifferent. But we don't always experience His nearness or the depth of how beloved we truly are--especially if we have experienced neglect, abandonment, or emotional distance in our formative human relationships. 
     
    Drawing from the deep well of Scripture, attachment theory, and her own personal story, Summer Joy Gross invites you to experience Emmanuel, God-with-us, as the One whose love toward you is secure and unchanging. She teaches you how to 
     
    ● use simple, repeatable practices to awaken to God's nearness and remain awake to his presence 
    ● learn from those who have walked before us, studying biblical teachings and ancient church traditions  
    ● orient your life to the promise of Emmanuel, the living Christ, walking beside you 
    ● build a secure attachment with the God who holds you in a sure hand 
     
    When you are rooted in God's nearness in the ordinary moments, you can rest in God in the midst of life's storms.

    Womanish Theology - Discovering...

    Khristi Lauren Adams's faith was first shaped by her experiences as a Black girl--learning about Scripture from her grandmother, Mama Hattie; "playing church" with her seven cousins over summer vacation; and grieving the murder of her sixteen-year-old friend when she was just fifteen. 
     
    In Womanish Theology, Adams reflects on those experiences, inviting readers to learn from a new perspective and guiding them to a deeper understanding of their own spirituality. 
     
    This groundbreaking book introduces a new branch of theological thought Adams calls womanish, as a play on the womanist tradition (the theology of Black womanhood). "Womanish," remembers Adams, is a term Black mothers used for young girls as they grew more interested in doing grown-up things. Adams draws on her own life story as well as the life stories of other Black girls to explore theological concepts such as Scripture, theodicy, salvation, prayer, neighborly love, and the image of God. 
     
    Through this journey, readers will learn that theology is for everyone and that the whole community of God can learn from the spiritual insights of Black girls.

    Before the arrival of Christianity, early inhabitants of Finland practised animistic nature-based belief, where everything in nature had its own place and spirit. Some of the historical artefacts show that belief in the totem animals was strong as well. Learn about the history of ancient Finland and some of the intriguing animal myths. How the cat was created in the warmth of the sauna, how northern lights are created by the magical fox and how the moose carries the sun in its antlers. Some of these stories like the bear being landed from the starry skies can be traced as far as the stone age. These stories are dreamy and magical, but they also reflect the nordic nature and how people saw animals as companions and sometimes even as gods and goddesses. Learn about the myths related to some of the most important animals in mythology. How the swan was originally a man but was turned into a bird, and it was forbidden to kill swans because they had the soul of a human. How the giant moose almost destroyed an entire land. 
    Written and narrated by Finnish folklorist Niina Niskanen.
