Sinopse

Celestial Thrones explores how cultures throughout history have envisioned celestial realms as seats of power, influencing societies and reflecting humanity's deepest aspirations. Diving into the intersection of religion, history, and art, the book examines divine authority manifested in heavenly settings. From architectural depictions to theological underpinnings, it questions why many traditions envision deities in majestic locations. These visions reveal much about the desire for order and transcendence. 

 
The book traces the evolution of celestial imagery across eras and cultures, referencing Mesopotamian ziggurats and medieval Christian art. It argues that celestial thrones and kingdoms, whether literal or symbolic, mirror earthly power dynamics and societal ideals. 

 
Structured to guide readers, Celestial Thrones introduces the concept of celestial kingdoms and their significance. It analyzes examples such as Greek palaces, Buddhist Pure Lands, and the Garden of Eden, culminating in how these models influenced earthly governance and individual behavior.

Rumanian Bird and Beast Stories...

M. Gaster

Romanian tales in which the beasts and the birds explain themselves: why the swallow's tail is forked, how the cuckoo lost her nest, the trial of the animals before God. Moses Gaster was Chief Rabbi of the Sephardi community in England and a folklorist who read Romanian, Slavonic and Hebrew sources together. His notes trace each story back through the Balkans and often to India. Thirty plates of Romanian and Central European painting, from Andreescu to Böhm, follow the same peasant world of field, vineyard and forest that the stories come from.

Hate and Reconciliation -...

Guido Cuyvers

Hatred is human and current. It is an intrinsic part of what can happen between people. Personal experiences can lead people to hate someone. In society and even on a global level, hatred is again and again the motor of misunderstanding and often also of violence between people. Sometimes hate smolders almost unconsciously; at other times he is furious and serves as a flag for serious violence. 
 
 
 
Hatred has many faces and seems omnipresent, that much is clear. The term "Erida complex," after the Greek goddess of hate, symbolizes the common and deeply rooted nature of hatred. After examining the nature of hate, this book focuses a wide-angle lens on its many faces, in individuals and groups as well as peoples. Facing the negativity of hatred, this book presents constructive approaches to fostering relationships between people and peace.

First Ascent of Mount Rainier

Hazard Stevens

In the summer of 1870, Hazard Stevens and P. B. Van Trump set out to accomplish what no one had yet done: reach the summit of Mount Rainier. 
In this firsthand account, Stevens recounts their pioneering ascent of the massive Washington volcano, from the challenges of approaching the mountain to the difficult climb across glaciers, snowfields, and rugged terrain. With little knowledge of the route and none of the modern equipment available to today’s mountaineers, the two climbers faced an uncertain and demanding journey toward the summit. 
Stevens’s account offers a fascinating glimpse into the earliest days of mountaineering in the Pacific Northwest. His vivid descriptions capture the hazards, scenery, exhaustion, and exhilaration of climbing one of North America’s great peaks—and the determination required to stand where no climber had stood before. 
A firsthand record of a landmark achievement, First Ascent of Mount Rainier preserves the story of one of the most important early climbs in American mountaineering.

Enduring Art Active Faith - 3...

Robert G. Proudfoot

The audiobook version of "Enduring Art, Active Faith - 3 Generations Create!" , recorded by Robert G. Proudfoot in April 2023 through Audivita, is an abridged version of the print book by the same name, which was previously published by Robert G. Proudfoot in February 2019 through FriesenPress Inc. The audiobook is comprised of two fictional short stories taken from the print book: "The Guard", and "Half and Half", written originally by Robert G. Proudfoot and Norma Proudfoot, respectively.  
     "The Guard" tells of an unlikely friendship that develops between an expatriate English schoolboy (James Greenburgh) and an African night watchman (Winter Banda), hired to guard the Greenburgh's home in Lusaka, Zambia while James' diplomat father is away in Great Britain, negotiating with Rhodesian and British Governments and black nationalist groups, towards transition to African majority rule for the break-away British colony during the turbulent early 1970s. In "Half and Half", an aging military veteran re-examines the satisfying life he has gained despite difficulties experienced - even with ongoing poverty,  want, and conflict in the world - after he encounters a little boy during the Christmas season in a busy Edmonton shopping mall, who despite so young is coping with disappointments and seeking answers for life's complexities.
