Never forget, we are sacred beings. We all seek power. We all want happiness. There is no shame or blame in serving our own highest good first and in recognizing that the highest good functions best when it is in healthy and balanced relationship with the Creator. Spirit Talk speaks to us of the first gifts of life and breath bequeathed to us from the Creator. These gifts, life and breath, upon our beautiful Mother Earth and Father Sky-Sun, guide and inform the reader's life and breath through a twelve-month calendar cycle. Keen observation of the calendar and seasonal cycles guides the reader through the highest of creative intelligence cycles--those of the ancient, earth-based Medicine Wheel Teachings. These wisdom cycles inform, anchor, and empower core creative principles of connected love, balance, and harmony. A balanced and harmonious relationship with the Creator serves to put an end to painful perceptions of separation with the self and, most importantly, the Creator. The dedication of time and the making of seasonally focused spirit talks with the Medicine Wheel will inform and foster an environment of shared respect and connection with oneself and with all living things. We no longer sit alone but are alive and active in a living world. The old people say, "It's not whether you will do it, but whether you will remember to do it." Spirit Talk helps us to remember and to do in a good way.

ISBN: 0307277275

A New York Times Notable Book A Kirkus Reviews Best Book of 2012 A bold approach to understanding the American evangelical experience from an anthropological and psychological perspective by one of the country's most prominent anthropologists. Through a series of intimate, illuminating interviews with various members of the Vineyard, an evangelical church with hundreds of congregations across the country, Tanya Luhrmann leaps into the heart of evangelical faith. Combined with scientific research that studies the effect that intensely practiced prayer can have on the mind, When God Talks Back examines how normal, sensible people—from college students to accountants to housewives, all functioning perfectly well within our society—can attest to having the signs and wonders of the supernatural become as quotidian and as ordinary as laundry. Astute, sensitive, and extraordinarily measured in its approach to the interface between science and religion, Luhrmann's book is sure to generate as much conversation as it will praise.

SCRAMBLE! In a couple of minutes my wingman and I would be airborne on another adventure. Sometimes we intercepted an airliner, sometimes a misplaced B-52 bomber, and sometimes Russian bombers probing our defenses; Russian warships; MIG fighters; or troops in contact in Vietnam, calling for napalm only yards from their positions. Twice it was UFOs - Unidentified Flying Objects! This book is a series of short stories, supported by more than 90 photographs. The first part has my own stories; later stories were contributed by my fellow pilots. The last story is from WW II of our P-38 fighters attacking the Romanian oil fields and getting badly mauled by defending Romanian fighters - and a Romanian pilot's view of the battle! Only the spirit of attack borne in a brave heart will bring success to any fighter aircraft, to matter how highly developed the aircraft may be. That quote from Adolf Galland, an Ace of the German Luftwaffe in WW II, was the motto of our 317th Fighter Interceptor Squadron in Alaska. The fighter pilot is a hunter, and his quarry is the most dangerous in the world - men who want to kill him! The best defense is a good offense - ATTACK! The US Air Force had a program called Every Man a Tiger. A tiger does not kill impulsively or in anger, but plans his attack carefully and strikes with cool ferocity. We were tigers! Fighter pilots tell stories around the bar, but they seldom write them down. These stories were written by the fighter pilots themselves! Come with me and hear of the beauty of flight, the mortal danger of electrical power failure at night in a snowstorm, and the thrill of attack with 20mm cannons firing right under your feet!

Any serious consideration of Asian American life forces us to reframe the way we talk about racism and antiracism. The current emphasis on racial identity obscures the political economic basis that makes racialized life in America legible. This is especially true when it comes to Asian Americans. This book reframes the conversation in terms of what has been called ""racial capitalism"" and utilizes two extended case studies to show how Asian Americans perpetuate and resist its political economy.
