Pursuing the Vision


Book Description

A person acts and feels not according to what things are really like but according to his mental image of what they are like. Since imagery often determines destiny, it is important to govern that which governs us, the imagination. Scripture provides extensive information about how one's imagination relates to God, worship, temptation, depression, faith, fear, self-image, friendship, finding life's purpose, pursuing life's dream, and engaging others in evangelism. This book will appeal: to those who want their imagination to function intentionally with God's resources instead of instinctively with Satan's resources to those who want to guide their imagination with a spiritual skillset that stops their imagination from hurting them to those who don't want God to become a faceless blur in the landscape of life but want a more vivid vision of Him to those who want their dreams to power through rough waters, instead of being a rudderless whim or a shipwrecked fantasy in need of another rescue to those who want holiness to be an attainable, sustainable reality and do not want the yo-yo lifestyle that is too well acquainted with moral defeat

Victorian Literature and the Victorian Visual Imagination


Book Description

Nineteenth-century British culture frequently represented the eye as the preeminent organ of truth. These essays explore the relationship between the verbal and the visual in the Victorian imagination. They range broadly over topics that include the relationship of optical devices to the visual imagination, the role of photography in changing the conception of evidence and truth, the changing partnership between illustrator and novelist, and the ways in which literary texts represent the visual. Together they begin to construct a history of seeing in the Victorian period. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1995.
