Synopsis

Saintly Miracles explores the captivating world of Christian miracles attributed to saints and their profound impact on religious history and devotion. The book examines these miracles, not to verify their authenticity, but to understand their reception, interpretation, and influence on believers throughout time.

 
One intriguing aspect is how miracles, whether seen as divine acts or through a sociological lens, have shaped religious practices and theological doctrines. Another is the role of canonization, the process by which the Church recognizes individuals as saints, often based on reported miracles.

 
The book traces the evolution of sainthood and miracles from the early Church to the present day, considering societal changes, theological debates, and political landscapes; this historical context allows readers to see how these concepts are shaped. Approaching the topic with accessibility in mind, the book is divided into three sections: introducing core concepts, examining historical periods with case studies, and exploring the lasting impact on religious devotion and popular culture.

 
The analysis draws on hagiographies, historical chronicles, and other sources to show the power dynamics inherent in miraculous narratives.

    The First Few Only - How Women...

    Axiom Award Bronze Medalist for Women / BIPOC in Business 
    A deeply personal call to action for women of color to find power from within and to join together in community, advocating for a new corporate environment where we all belong—and are accepted—on our own terms. 
    Women of color comprise one of the fastest-growing segments in the corporate workforce, yet often we are underrepresented—among the first, few, or only ones in a department or company. For too long, corporate structures, social zeitgeist, and cultural conditioning have left us feeling exhausted and downtrodden, believing that in order to “fit in” and be successful, we must hide or change who we are. 
    As a former senior partner at a large global services firm, Deepa Purushothaman experienced these feelings of isolation and burnout. She met with hundreds of other women of color across industries and cultural backgrounds, eager to hear about their unique and shared experiences. In doing so, she has come to understand our collective setbacks—and the path forward in achieving our goals.   
    Business must evolve—and women of color have the potential to lead that transformation. We must begin by pushing back against toxic messaging—including the things we tell ourselves—while embracing the valuable cultural viewpoints and experiences that give us unique perspectives at work. By fully realizing our own strengths, we can build collective power and use it to confront microaggressions, outdated norms, and workplace misconceptions; create cultures where belonging is never conditional; and rework corporations to be genuinely inclusive to all. 
    The First, the Few, the Only is a road map for us to make a profound impact within and outside our organizations while ensuring that our words are heard, our lived experiences are respected, and our contributions are finally valued.

    WHAT I’M PROPOSING IS A METHOD OF TECHNIQUES FOR THE MARKETER (YOU) TO: 
    Fall behind the noise  
    Open access to your full spectrum of emotions first.  
    Marketers can not make anyone feel. No body has control over someone else's feelings. Emotions simply... exist. In context. 
    Marketers can create stimuli to activate a customer’s nervous system and trigger a purchase behavior. 
    My book explores how to unpack societal “shoulds” from a personal level. Taking this a step further, I then translate this exact concept to specific case studies and marketing strategies we see live in today’s marketplace. Side by side I compare the factual outputs with how it would look using the applied Core Method.  
    My hope is that The Holistic Marketer activates a flicker from YOUR core, inspiring you to connect your own dots from a place of kind curiosity, unlocking access to a soft landing as you make decisions among others in the moment.

    "Highly recommended for fans of Tolkien and Lewis, for those who love literature and ecology, and really for all of us whose capacity for wonder will be expanded by this delightful little book." – Jonathan A. Moo, professor of New Testament and environmental studies at Whitworth University
    When an author of fiction employs the imagination and sets characters in a new location, they are in a sense creating a world. Might such fictional worlds give us a deeper appreciation for our own?
    Many readers have found themselves, like the Pevensie children, transported by C. S. Lewis into Narnia, and they have traveled from Lantern Waste to Cair Paravel and the edge of the sea. Thanks to J. R. R. Tolkien, readers have also journeyed with Bilbo, Frodo, and their companions across Middle-earth from the Shire to the Lonely Mountain, the forest of Mirkwood, the mines of Moria, and the very fires of Mount Doom. But as often as we enter these fictional worlds as readers, we eventually return to our world refreshed with sharpened insight.
    In The Wonders of Creation, biologist Kristen Page explores the beloved fictional landscapes of Narnia and Middle-earth in order to discover whatwe might learn about real-life landscapes and how to become better stewards of God's good creation.
