Chinese officials put considerable effort into managing the fiscal and legal affairs of their jurisdictions, but they also devoted significant time and energy to performing religious rituals on behalf of the state. This groundbreaking study explores this underappreciated aspect of Chinese political life by investigating rainmaking activities organized or conducted by local officials in the Qing dynasty. Using a wide variety of primary sources, this study explains how and why state rainmaking became a prominent feature of the late imperial religious landscape. It also vividly describes the esoteric, spectacular, and occasionally grotesque techniques officials used to pray for rain. Charting the ways in which rainmaking performances were contested by local communities, this study argues that state rainmaking provided an important venue where the relationship between officials and their constituents was established and maintained. For this reason, the author concludes that official rainmaking was instrumental in constituting state power at the local level. This monograph addresses issues that are central to the study of late imperial Chinese society and culture, including the religious activities of Chinese officials, the nature of state orthodoxy, and the symbolic dimensions of local governance.

A devastating drought. A city ripe with secrets. A family with a past just waiting to be discovered. Recently, Shyamala Mehta's life in LA feels stagnant: she's undervalued at work, newly single, and constantly clashing with her marriage-obsessed mother. So when she's offered a transfer to Mumbai, she travels halfway around the world to the now drought-stricken city her parents left behind. Staying with her mother's sister Vini, Shyamala is struck by the contrast between them. How did Vini become such a joyful, unconventional soul while Pramila drifted quietly into traditional life? Far from home and surrounded by echoes of the past, Shyamala finally has a chance to learn more about the mother she barely knows. With Arjun, the neighbor's wild-haired son whose love for India pierces through the oppressive heat, she starts to see the city of Pramila's youth in all its beautiful complexity. But as the taps run dry, Shyamala finds herself at the crossroads of her family's history and her own destiny. The air is heavy with secrets, but when the deluge finally comes, will she be ready for what it might reveal--about her mother, herself, and the maddening city she's starting to think of as home?

Feeling let down by God, the author takes us on a journey and how her faith was restored as it almost cost her, her life. In these short essays, Catherine shares the sorrow and loss she felt when her father died, when her best friend died, and when she herself faced death and had a near-death experience. These never before shared, short stories are like peeking into someone's diary of utmost internal thoughts, fears, exasperation, loss, and examination of whether prayers and belief in a higher being make a difference in our lives during dry spells of our lives when faith seems to fail. I quit believing without a doubt and started asking questions. You can't do that in religion. You have to believe unconditionally. That s what religion asks of us. It's kind of like marriage, you have to believe and love unconditionally. That s what children are like; you have to love them unconditionally. I add as a disclaimer that I think most parents, except for the bad ones, really do love their children unconditionally. Why wouldn't you? Some would argue, just look at your children and you will see God. Just look at a river, flower or a sunset or a mountain top, yada yada yada. I have looked in a river and I did not see God. When Catherine went through dark times, she kept a diary. With the hope of helping anyone else who may be going through a time where they may question their faith, she is opening the vault of her diary essays that she hopes will bring an existential understanding to others to know that they are not alone in their dry spell of faith. Foreword by Emily Rose Hopper.

In the sight of God, both men and women are equal Heirs of His kingdom. This is what matters but since people are still living as husband and wife in the now, the aim should be for oneness. When a wife rebels against her duty of marriage, she is rebelling against God and His plan for her marriage resulting in her marriage having difficulties. When the man is not fulfilling his duty as husband, she will find it difficult to submit to him. The pressure of having rebellious women has made men to feel emasculated by their wives leading to them looking outside of the house for a suitable person who will treat them like men. By destroying one link in a marriage will ultimately lead to the marriage having no leg to stand on. The husband should give his wife what she is entitled to in the marriage relationship, and the wife should do the same for her husband The wife is not in charge of her own body, but her husband is; likewise the husband is not in charge of his own body, but his wife is. Do not deprive each other, except for a limited time, by mutual agreement. Get to know your differences and stop destroying each other through drought.
