Adventures in Prayer: Praying Your Way to a God You Can Trust
by Sharon ConnorsThis book is about creating a better life through prayer. Sharon Connors tested the power of prayer over and over as she grew from a frightened, impoverished, but determined single mother of two children to a senior minister who has brought the gift of prayer to thousands. The people she works with ask basic questions like: How should I pray? What if I'm afraid of God or angry at God? How do I know prayer is working? Is it all right to pray for myself and for specific things I want? How can I build my faith? This step-by-step guide provides honest, practical answers--and the inspiration to act on them.Sharon Connors teaches prayer as a learnable technique that improves with daily practice. She interweaves basic principles with moving personal stories from her own life and those she has served, and offers dozens of original prayers and affirmations that address readers' most urgent needs. Building on the conviction that the human mind is a powerful creative force designed to communicate with God, she first shows how to focus the power of mind in prayer. In each chapter that follows, she describes how to use prayer in specific circumstances, including: Healing broken relationships Seeking guidance in times of confusion Transforming the fear of change and mastering life's storms Building prosperity Learning to forgive Finding your purpose in lifeThe final chapter, "Creating Miracles," teaches the "four ways of gratitude," which have the greatest power to turn around our lives.Reverend Connors has explored a wide range of prayer and healing approaches from many spiritual traditions, and these diverse practices are reflected in her book.From the Hardcover edition.
Adventures in Prayer
by Sharon ConnorsPrayer has surged in popularity along with a huge widespread interest in spirituality. Yet in the midst of this, the most frequent questions concerning many who pray are: How should I pray? How does prayer really work? and How can prayer work for me? If we don't really know how to pray effectively, then the process could prove to be hit and miss – with results often being inconsistent. But as ordained minister Sharon Connors reveals, prayer is something that we can all do, and which has the potential to transform our lives – we just have to understand the basic principles and techniques that make it work. ADVENTURES IN PRAYER provides the key to successful prayer. It explains exactly how prayer works, offering a way for people to connect with a higher power, and to answer their deepest questions and needs. Sharon Connors has had extensive – and diverse – prayer experience throughout her ministry, and her approach to prayer is both non-denominational and non-religious, applicable to readers of all faiths and backgrounds who want to heighten their spiritual experience. With clear and simple guidelines, this book shows how we can use prayer successfully to achieve spiritual harmony and wellbeing in all aspects of our lives, including: making difficult decisions, handling change, healing, finding our true purpose, and bringing ourselves closer to the divine in our daily lives.

From posters to handbills, Blankenhorn's efforts whilst lesser known are equally fascinating and meritorious."...illustrations include some interesting samples of German and Allied propaganda. ." p. 214, Edward Lengel, World War I Memories, 2004, The Scarecrow Press, Lanham Maryland, Toronto, Oxford.

Adventures in Russian Historical Research: Reminiscences of American Scholars from the Cold War to the Present
by Samuel H. Baron Cathy FriersonAmerican historians of Russia have always been an intrepid lot. Their research trips were spent not in Cambridge or Paris, Rome or Berlin, but in Soviet dormitories with official monitors. They were seeking access to a historical record that was purposefully shrouded in secrecy, boxed up and locked away in closed archives. Their efforts, indeed their curiosity itself, sometimes raised suspicion at home as well as in a Soviet Union that did not want to be known even while it felt misunderstood. This lively volume brings together the reflections of twenty leading specialists on Russian history representing four generations. They relate their experiences as historians and researchers in Russia from the first academic exchanges in the 1950s through the Cold War years, detente, glasnost, and the first post-Soviet decade. Their often moving, acutely observed stories of Russian academic life record dramatic change both in the historical profession and in the society that they have devoted their careers to understanding.

Adventures in Shondaland: Identity Politics and the Power of Representation
by Michaela D.E. Meyer Rachel Alicia Griffin Richard G Jones Emily Vajjala Joan Faber McAlister Jessica L Furgerson Jennifer Billinson Jade Petermon Shadee Abdi Bernadette Calafell Stephanie Young Vincent Pham Myra Washington Tina Harris Mark P Orbe Mary Ingram-Waters Leslie Balderas Melissa Ames Sean SwensonShonda Rhimes is one of the most powerful players in contemporary American network television. Beginning with her break-out hit series Grey’s Anatomy, she has successfully debuted Private Practice, Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder, The Catch, For The People, and Station 19. Rhimes’s work is attentive to identity politics, “post-” identity politics, power, and representation, addressing innumerable societal issues. Rhimes intentionally addresses these issues with diverse characters and story lines that center, for example, on interracial friendships and relationships, LGBTIQ relationships and parenting, the impact of disability on familial and work dynamics, and complex representations of womanhood. This volume serves as a means to theorize Rhimes’s contributions and influence by inspiring provocative conversations about television as a deeply politicized institution and exploring how Rhimes fits into the implications of twenty-first century television.
