Voice # 1 - Is our own voice, produced by our vocal chord. The voice we use to express ourselves to others. Voice # 2: Is that which we hear from others, from your ancestors. They all sound different and are recorded thus in our memory - as we remember the words we heard, a long time ago and apply them in changing circumstances of our lives, even many years after the actual verbalization, sometimes we hold these voices of those other people within ourselves for life. Voice # 3: Is that of God, the Universe or Nature - The divine, that resides within every person. It is the voice which guides us, makes us define the right from the wrong, guards and warns us whenever we are in danger. It is the voice that 'knows', it is pure and it is omniscient, thus, it is also the voice that gospels intuitions. Self conflicting thoughts are born whenever one of the these voices are in opposition to the others. Even the most qualified individual ends up leading a docile wasteful life when, for example, voice of the divine and the others oppose their own. On the contrary, the most useless illiterate person on the face of the planet can become a king when all the three voices, in them, are in harmony and in sync with one another. In India, professional salutation is done with 'Namaste' and the younger generation bow down and take the blessings of their elders to enforce this power of voices - to generate productivity and ensure harmony between everybody, in turn, making sure all are free from self-conflicting thoughts.

In gripping, vivid prose crafted over 15 years of healing from trauma, Behind God's Back: Finding Hope in Hardship, is an unforgettable story of both suffering and redemption, dramatizing the protagonist's experiences of poverty, food insecurity, abuse, addiction, recovery, and, eventually, a commitment to sustained community service. While exploring childhood and early adult hardships endured in the Arlington Heights projects of Pittsburgh, Miller moves forward to model a path of sober living and transformational leadership that includes the creation of a regional recovery center for women suffering from substance abuse - a former convent turned sanctuary that prioritizes trauma-informed care and women's health. Miller's award-winning memoir is relayed with realism and humor, featuring a diverse cast of wise and "imperfect" mentors who make her transformation possible. In an artistically distinct, compelling, and direct voice, she invites readers to identify their sameness within the work: their own capacity for resilience, healing, and sober recovery. Her book also demonstrates a path of recovery that hinges on outward contributions to family, friends, community, and society, rather than solely documenting personal trauma. This dramatized progression from individual recovery to a commitment to social welfare, community outreach, and servant leadership, distinguishes the book among traditional memoirs exploring trauma, promoting participation rather than isolation. Behind God's Back illuminates the beauty and healing that can come out of adversity and pain. While offering a story about trauma in childhood, dysfunctional family circumstances, and recovery from addiction, the memoir highlights the importance of forming meaningful human relationships to heal personally, while cultivating the resources to be of service to others, when we are ready, and sometimes, even when we are still healing. Ultimately, Behind God's Back shows us all how we can all participate in the creation of a more humane society, embark on a deep healing process for ourselves and our loved ones, and embrace a leadership role in our own families, our own communities, and our own society.

Faith comes by hearing, and hearing comes by the word of God. The biblical verse serves as the foundation for the book, The Sound of Faith. The author addresses the idea that faith begins with listening first, rather than seeing. He shares memories of multiple events he experienced as he rediscovered God. Example stories such as, what took place when police caught him praying in a graveyard; how an angel caught him in the middle of the air as a baby from falling off a table; the challenge he faced when talking to an atheist; and more. Throughout the book, you will read many topics addressed, such as, visions and dreams; what to do when God is silent; discovering God on a personal level; and many more. This book is easy-to-read and nonfiction. If you enjoy stories of modern day believers, you may want to add this one to your collection. The book is highly recommended for those new to faith or for those who are looking to increase it.

This volume describes the traditional vocal and instrumental music of the Lao-speaking people living in Northeast Thailand. Beginning with a description of the cultural and historical contexts of this music, Miller continues with an overview of Northeast Thai music, its instruments, concepts, and certain proto-musical genres. Individual chapters deal separately with the non-technical aspects, including the history, texts, economics, and performance practices of both kaen playing and mawlum singing. Another chapter discusses all technical matters concerning the vocal genres, including the tonal nature of the Lao language, the relationship between melody and linguistic tone, scales, rhythm and meter, form, and tempo. The final two chapters deal specifically with the kaen--a bamboo mouth organ with 6, 14, 16, or 18 tubes, each with a free-reed. This volume is generously illustrated with musical examples transcribed from field recordings made in Northeast Thailand, numerous photographs, and line drawings. Miller concludes with a series of translations of texts from musical examples; an extensive glossary which includes two forms of romanization, the Thai spelling, and a brief description; and, finally, a bibliography, discography, and index.
