Everybody suffers adversities; Superheroes bounce back. Rise Up Against All Odds arouses you to reclaim the Superhero in you during the turbulence of adversities. Adversities make us feel like it is the end of the road and leave us discouraged, confused, shocked, defeated, hopeless, deprived, rejected, depleted, petrified, disempowered, betrayed, humiliated, undignified, destitute, insecure, wiped-out, powerless, frustrated and depressed. The book applies the BRAVE system, which is an acronym for Boldness, Resilience, Authenticity, Vision, Enthusiasm to help you navigate and deal with adversities. It equips you to face the headwinds of adversities while remaining solidly grounded applying Boldness. It enables you to emerge stronger and powerful applying Resilience. It teaches you to become true to yourself and your purpose despite the prevailing circumstances applying Authenticity. It navigates you to limitless possibilities to carve a trajectory of success for yourself applying Vision. No matter how gusty the intensity of your adversity, the book will energise and propel you to reach greater heights applying Enthusiasm.

You will learn how to rewrite your lifes storyline using your adversities to create a life with new meaning of richness, greatness, prosperity, liveliness, worthiness, empowerment, confidence, and fulfilment.

Nineteen sermons of the beloved Rev. M. van Beek see the light in this volume. It was possible by the way of a tape recording to preserve these preached sermons and it is now possible to publish them after the death of the minister who preached them. You should therefore take into account that these sermons come to our attention more in a preaching style than in a written style. Yet, this often makes the reading or the listening to these sermons more pleasant. However, this does not take away that these published sermons are very attractive as far as the history is concerned, because it is remarkable that this history always fascinates the children and young people. But yet, it is not only the historical part of Joseph's life that is brought to our attention in these sermons; theses sermons also have a spiritual content. The way in which the Lord deals with His people is clearly brought to to out attention too. Joseph is also clearly pointed out to us as a type of Christ in these sermons. Rev. F. Mallan Alblasserdam, NL.

A best-selling history of the Third Crusade, when the Catholic Church waged war against heretics in its own ranks In 1208 Pope Innocent III called for a Crusade against a country of fellow-Christians. The new enemy was Raymond VI, Count of Toulouse, one of the greatest princes in Western Christendom, premier baron of all the territories in southern France where the langue d'oc was spoken. So began the Albigensian Crusade (named after the French town of Albi), which was to culminate in 1244 with the massacre of Cathars at the mountain fortress of Montségur. This Crusade was the Catholic Church's response to the rapid growth of a rival Christian religion in the very heart of Christendom - the religion of the Cathars (or 'pure ones'). These heretics drew their strength from the consciousness of belonging to a faith that had never seen eye to eye with Catholicism and was more ancient than the Church itself. From the beginning this religious war was to show all the characteristics of a national resistance movement, so that in the end it was not just the survival of the Cathar faith that was at stake but also that of the Languedoc itself as an autonomous and independent region of France.

From Wild Tales to Zama, Argentine cinema has produced some of the most visually striking and critically lauded films of the 2000s. Argentina also boasts some of the most exciting contemporary poetry in the Spanish language. What happens when its film and poetry meet on screen? Moving Verses studies the relationship between poetry and cinema in Argentina. Although both the “poetics of cinema” and literary adaptation have become established areas of film scholarship in recent years, the diverse modes of exchange between poetry and cinema have received little critical attention. The book analyses how film and poetry transform each another, and how these two expressive media behave when placed into dialogue. Going beyond theories of adaptation, and engaging critically with concepts around intermediality and interdisciplinarity, Moving Verses offers tools and methods for studying both experimental and mainstream film from Latin America and beyond. The corpus includes some of Argentina’s most exciting and radical contemporary directors (Raúl Perrone, Gustavo Fontán) as well as established modern masters (María Luisa Bemberg, Eliseo Subiela), and seldom studied experimental projects (Narcisa Hirsch, Claudio Caldini). The critical approach draws on recent works on intermediality and “impure” cinema to sketch and assess the many and varied ways in which directors “read” poetry on screen.

Renos K. Papadopoulos clearly and sensitively explores the experiences of people who reluctantly abandon their homes, searching for safer lives elsewhere, and provides a detailed guide to the complex experiences of involuntary dislocation. Involuntary Dislocation: Home, Trauma, Resilience, and Adversity-Activated Development identifies involuntary dislocation as a distinct phenomenon, challenging existing assumptions and established positions, and explores its linguistic, historical, and cultural contexts. Papadopoulos elaborates on key themes including home, identity, nostalgic disorientation, the victim, and trauma, providing an in-depth understanding of each contributing factor whilst emphasising the human experience throughout. The book concludes by articulating an approach to conceptualising and working with people who have experienced adversities engendered by involuntary dislocation, and with a reflection on the language of repair and renewal. Involuntary Dislocation will be a compassionate and comprehensive guide for psychotherapists, clinical psychologists, counsellors, and other professionals working with people who have experienced displacement. It will also be important reading for anyone wishing to understand the psychosocial impact of extreme adversity.

This book tells the stories of the Muslims, Christians, Jews and others who made a courageous stand against the mass slaughter of Ottoman Armenians in 1915, the first modern genocide. Foreigners and Ottomans alike ran considerable risks to bear witness and rescue victims, sometimes sacrificing their lives. Diplomats, humanitarians, missionaries, lawyers and other visitors to the Empire stood up, including Tolstoy’s daughter, Alexandra; Raphael Lemkin, the jurist who first established genocide as an international crime; and the polar explorer Fridtjof Nansen, who recognised and relieved the plight of stateless Armenian refugees. Ottoman subjects—from officials and officers to ordinary townspeople and villagers—faced near-certain death for their entire family by resisting orders and helping Armenians. Unlike the Righteous of the Holocaust, these heroes have been systematically ignored and erased—a major injustice. Based on fresh research, and hoping to repay a moral debt to Ottoman Muslims who braved everything to rescue the authors’ forebears, this book is an important, moving testament to a grievously overlooked aspect of the Armenian tragedy.

This book aims to inspire readers to know some facts surrounding cancer and face the adversities in life and win over them through practical life lessons that I have shared from my valuable learning and experiences. The book is primarily about my fight against cancer and recovery from it. In different chapters, I have tried to share my learning in this journey from detection to treatment and my personal experiences. I am a strong believer in destiny and one of the lessons I have learnt is that destiny only decides our direction and our destination. I, therefore, advise you to not fret and rue over the past or be worried about the uncertain future. Life is all about living in the present and enjoying the moment. This book also focuses on expressing gratitude and being thankful to family members and close friends who stand firmly with us through the ups and downs in our lives. It is also about enjoying the little gifts of life that bring happiness and positivity to our lives. With a positive mindset and strong self-belief, we can take on any adversity in life, even a lethal disease like cancer. The chapters in this book are meticulously written to provide insights into cancer cells in the human body and the prime reasons for its occurrence while recommending that we should follow healthy patterns in life to be safe from this lethal disorder. This book also talks about different aspects of human traits that need to be revisited during moments of solitude. This tough and painful journey starting from diagnosis to treatment helped me understand a lot about life and the different attributes attached to it. The book also tells us to purposefully slow down sometime to reflect on life and its numerous facets. It also shares valuable lessons and I definitely hope that it will be able to impact lives and bring hope and positivity to the readers.
