The Urantia Diaries of Harold and Martha Sherman Volume Three 1943
Free Download Saskia Praamsma, Matthew Block, "The Urantia Diaries of Harold and Martha Sherman: Volume Three: 1943"
English | 2018 | ISBN: 1732179638 | EPUB | pages: 476 | 2.8 mb
This volume documents a full year of Urantia-related activity as witnessed by Harold and Martha Sherman and described in their diaries and letters. During this year, 1943, the Shermans continue to attend the weekly Forum meetings almost without fail and to record their recollections soon afterward. Feeling unjustly blamed by Dr. Sadler for the so-called rebellion the previous summer, they share their frustrations with their few friends in the Forum, and confide their growing doubts about the Doctor's trustworthiness as custodian of the Urantia papers. Their closest confidante remains Harry J. Loose, now in failing health but still providing advice and instruction through long, frequent letters. The year culminates with Loose's death, which Harold and Martha perceive as opening a new era in their lives. 1943 is also a busy year for Harold career-wise, as he continues his pursuits as author and playwright, and becomes host of his own radio program in Chicago.

The Urantia Diaries of Harold and Martha Sherman Volume Six 1955-1998
Free Download Saskia Praamsma, "The Urantia Diaries of Harold and Martha Sherman: Volume Six: 1955-1998"
English | 2021 | ISBN: 1734462132 | EPUB | pages: 757 | 8.5 mb
This last volume of The Urantia Diaries of Harold and Martha Sherman spans four decades; it begins with the Shermans' receiving the just-published The Urantia Book in October 1955 and ends with Martha's death in 1998, Harold predeceasing her in 1987.This volume follows not only the parallel tracks of the slowly growing Urantia readership and the later stages of Harold's career, but also the intersections-the Shermans' witting and unwitting encounters with Urantia Book readers and those otherwise connected with the book.In his lectures and classes Harold occasionally mentioned the Urantia Book and his association with it, which brought inquiries from those interested in learning more. He had periodically considered writing about his Urantia experiences ever since Harry Loose instructed him and Martha to keep a diary to be used in an eventual book about Urantia which would be a companion to the Urantia Book itself. But it wasn't until he was reaching the end of his career that he decided to write a book about his lifelong search for truth and include a chapter on Urantia. That chapter, called "Pipeline to God," was included in How to Know What to Believe, published as a Fawcett paperback in 1976.How to Know What to Believe was one of Harold's less successful books and went out of print a few years after publication. (We have included the entire "Pipeline to God" chapter in this volume.) But the book attracted the attention of American author Martin Gardner, who contacted Martha Sherman in 1992. Martha granted him access to the Sherman diaries (which Harold had barely used while writing "Pipeline to God") and much of Harold's correspondence. In his 1995 book, Urantia: The Great Cult Mystery-the first popular book about Urantia ever published-Gardner mentioned that the Sherman diaries, housed with other Sherman materials at the University of Central Arkansas, would be made available to the public in January 2000. It was this notice that led to our publication of The Urantia Diaries of Harold and Martha Sherman.

The Urantia Diaries of Harold and Martha Sherman Volume One 1898-1942
Free Download Saskia Praamsma, Matthew Block, "The Urantia Diaries of Harold and Martha Sherman: Volume One: 1898-1942"
English | 2016 | ISBN: 0996716599 | EPUB | pages: 464 | 3.5 mb
The years from approximately 1924 to 1955, in which the evolving manuscript of the Urantia revelation was shared with a small group in Chicago called the Forum, is an intriguing period in the history of the Urantia Book and its readership. Only one source of extensive and detailed information about this period has come to light: the diaries and letters of bestselling author Harold M. Sherman and his wife Martha. During their stay in Chicago, from 1942 to 1947, the Shermans recorded what was said and done at every Forum meeting they attended. They also recorded their conversations with their Forum friends outside Forum meetings. Their diligent documenting resulted in close to two thousand pages of eyewitness accounts which portray Forum life with unmatched vividness and immediacy.

The Urantia Diaries of Harold and Martha Sherman Volume Four 1944-1945
Free Download Saskia Praamsma, Matthew Block, "The Urantia Diaries of Harold and Martha Sherman: Volume Four: 1944-1945"
English | 2018 | ISBN: 1732179654 | EPUB | pages: 432 | 3.2 mb
In this volume Harold and Martha Sherman report their Urantia-related experiences for the years 1944 and 1945. During this period the Forum hears the papers that became Part III of the Urantia Book, and the Shermans record their impressions of each paper as well as their discussions with Forum friends on these and other subjects. No longer in the forefront of controversy, the Shermans quietly maintain their criticisms of Dr. Sadler's handling of the papers. In late 1945 a frank meeting with Harry Loose's close friend, Reverend Williams, causes the Shermans to reflect anew on their involvement with the Urantia project, resulting in a turning point of sorts.

The True Story of the Novel
Free Download The True Story of the Novel By Margaret Anne Doody
1997 | 610 Pages | ISBN: 0813524539 | PDF | 100 MB
Twentieth-century historians and critics defending the novel have emphasized its role as superseding something else, as a sort of legitimate usurper that deposed the Epic, a replacement of myth, or religious narrative. To say that the Age of Early Christianity was really also the Age of the Novel rumples such historical tidiness--but so it was. From the outset of her discussion, Doody rejects the conventional Anglo-Saxon distinction between Romance and Novel. This eighteenth-century distinction, she maintains, served both to keep the foreign--dark-skinned peoples, strange speakers, Muslims, and others--largely out of literature, and to obscure the diverse nature of the novel itself.This deeply informed and truly comparative work is staggering in its breadth. Doody treats not only recognized classics, but also works of usually unacknowledged subgenres--new readings of novels like The Pickwick Papers, Puddn'head Wilson, L'Assommoir, Death in Venice, and Beloved are accompanied by insights into Death on the Nile or The Wind in the Willows. Non-Western writers like Chinua Achebe and Witi Ihimaera are also included. In her last section, Doody goes on to show that Chinese and Japanese novels, early and late, bear a strong and not incidental affinity to their Western counterparts. Collectively, these readings offer the basis for a serious reassessment of the history and the nature of the novel.The True Story of the Novel marks the beginning of the twenty-first century's understanding of fiction and of culture. It is essential reading for anyone with an interest in literature.

The Synagogue Survival Kit A Guide to Understanding Jewish Religious Services
Free Download Jordan Lee Wagner, "The Synagogue Survival Kit: A Guide to Understanding Jewish Religious Services"
English | ISBN: 0765709686 | 2012 | 370 pages | EPUB | 10 MB
In an effort to counter the confusion and isolation often experienced by a novice synagogue-goer, as well as by many who regularly attend synagogue, The Synagogue Survival Kit: A Guide to Understanding Jewish Religious Services offers introductions and instructions for all aspects of the synagogue experience. No matter what kind of synagogue you attend, the roadmap is the same. Some synagogues may read certain prayers in English translation rather than the original Hebrew or replace some traditional prayers with newer versions, but the service will still touch on the same topics in the same order for the same reasons. If you know the structure of the traditional service, you can readily find your place in any other one. The Synagogue Survival Kit maps the complete traditional service structure and points out the changes commonly encountered in different congregations in an effort to counter the confusion and isolation often experienced by novice synagogue-goers and regular attendees, alike. Always mindful of the sophisticated, adult reader with little or no Jewish background, Jordan Lee Wagner clearly and comprehensively explains the practices, vocabulary, objects, and attitudes that one can expect to find in any synagogue.
