Sinopsis

Symbols of Faith explores the profound world of religious symbolism across diverse spiritual traditions. It delves into how these symbols shape belief, ritual, and religious experience, acting as a primary language of faith that communicates doctrines and shared identities. The book highlights the dual nature of symbols, showing their ability to represent complex theological concepts visually and evoke deep emotional and spiritual responses. For instance, the cross carries significance beyond its common interpretations, and the Star of David holds deeper meanings.

 
The book is structured in three parts, starting with core concepts in symbology and methodologies for interpreting symbols. It then moves to in-depth analyses of prominent symbols from Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and indigenous religions, examining their historical context, theological significance, and cultural variations.

 
Finally, it synthesizes these analyses to reveal universal themes and patterns, offering practical applications for interfaith dialogue and personal spiritual exploration. What sets this book apart is its interdisciplinary approach, emphasizing symbols as active agents in shaping religious experience, not just representations of abstract ideas. Symbols of Faith provides a framework for understanding and interpreting religious symbols, inviting readers to engage critically and form their own informed opinions.

Street Smart Safety for Women -...

Joy Farrow, Laura Frombach

Violence against women is a global health issue. The threats women face today are unparalleled and more dangerous than ever before. 
 
 
 
Women have been culturally trained to discount one of their greatest protections—safety intuition. As women, it is so ingrained in us to attend to everyone else, including strangers on the street, before we listen to ourselves, that we have lost touch with our innate ability to often detect dangerous situations. As the result, we are left generally defenseless to recognize predators who manipulate our natural compassion, to our own detriment. This inability to listen to ourselves directly affects our personal safety, and data shows that attacks on women continue to escalate daily across the world, inside and outside of the home. Though everyone is talking about how women continue to be less safe, few offer solutions. Women are terrified, and they are looking for answers. 
 
 
 
In Street Smart Safety for Women, retired Deputy Sheriff Joy Farrow and technologist Laura Frombach, herself a survivor of a violent household, draw on their experiences both personal and professional to provide those answers. The book educates women in personal safety, showing them a defensive living strategy and how to trust in themselves, which can reduce their probability of becoming a victim of a crime.

UnLEARNed - Honor Your Story...

Shirley Skyers-Thomas

We all have stories of our life experiences, and they shape our perceptions - sometimes for better, sometimes for worse. But what happens when the stories we tell ourselves about our limitations and past challenges become obstacles to further growth? That's when unlearning begins. This framework provides a path for visionaries to break through self-imposed barriers, foster adaptability in their personal and professional spaces, and maximize their full potential. I synthesized ten tenets of unlearning that I observed in my own life and used specifically as a powerful method for growth. These tenets are the guideposts of unlearning. I share snippets of my story as a testament to the power of unlearning. However, this writing is not about dwelling on past experiences, whether they be mine or yours. Instead, it's a guide to crafting the future you desire. These ten transformative tenets of unlearning will help you build a more empowered, adaptable future.

For a lucky few, light conversation at parties and social events is a breeze. For the rest of us, there is Carol Fleming (bestselling author of It's the Way You Say It), who breaks even the shortest bit of small talk into an understandable process that anyone can master. 
 
Much of your personal success hinges on the effectiveness of your personal communication skills. Whether or not new doors are opened to you may depend on how well you can meet one of life's most frustrating social challenges--starting and developing conversations with strangers, aka "small talk." Small talk is usually considered to be a light, pleasant, and safe verbal exchange, which allows people the time and association to get a sense of each other. It consists of introductions, exchange of personal information and interests when meeting new people and searching for a topic of mutual interest. According to Carol Fleming, conversationalist-extraordinaire, the business of small talk means: 
-Bringing people together 
-Facilitating understanding 
-Finding friendships, building trust and maintaining relationships 
-Developing your business 
-Exposing you to different points of view 
This book teaches you the concrete skills of social behavior, and promises to increase your understanding of what small talk is and what it does, while revealing the rituals and strategies for developing conversation. You may not think you have the "gift of gab," but Carol Fleming will convince you that you can master the fine art of small talk in all your business and social encounters.
