Book Description
Saskatoon Public Library’s history is suffused with drama. Floods, fires, boardroom battles, clashes with City Hall, strikes,bold art robberies, outraged and belligerent patrons, pilfering and mutilation of materials, stalkers and flashers, animals at large on the premises, theft of computer equipment, and a covered-up dispute that sent its chief librarian fleeing into obscurity – all appear in these pages. Set these stormy incidents against a historical matrix of two world wars, a major Depression, world-wide epidemics, and a revolution in technology, and the colourful pageantry of the Saskatoon Library history emerges.But mostly the Library quietly hummed along – efficient, orderly and welcoming. It has been a symbol of public service, a haven for troubled souls, an escape for the bored, as well as a treasure house for information seekers. As an institution, the SPL has had a remarkably progressive history of service and compassion – even missionary zeal – reaching out to the disabled, the illiterate, the poor, “New Canadians” and Aboriginal folk.

The Voices We Carry
Author: J. S. Park
Publisher: Moody Publishers
ISBN: 0802498817
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 283
Book Description
Reclaim Your Headspace and Find Your One True Voice As a hospital chaplain, J.S. Park encountered hundreds of patients at the edge of life and death, listening as they urgently shared their stories, confessions, and final words. J.S. began to identify patterns in his patients’ lives—patterns he also saw in his own life. He began to see that the events and traumas we experience throughout life become deafening voices that remain within us, even when the events are far in the past. He was surprised to find that in hearing the voices of his patients, he began to identify his own voices and all the ways they could both harm and heal. In The Voices We Carry, J.S. draws from his experiences as a hospital chaplain to present the Voices Model. This model explores the four internal voices of self-doubt, pride, people-pleasing, and judgment, and the four external voices of trauma, guilt, grief, and family dynamics. He also draws from his Asian-American upbringing to examine the challenges of identity and feeling “other.” J.S. outlines how to wrestle with our voices, and even befriend them, how to find our authentic voice in a world of mixed messages, and how to empower those who are voiceless. Filled with evidence-based research, spiritual and psychological insights, and stories of patient encounters, The Voices We Carry is an inspiring memoir of unexpected growth, humor, and what matters most. For those wading through a world of clamor and noise, this is a guide to find your clear, steady voice.

Subpar Parks
Author: Amber Share
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0593185552
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
**A New York Times Bestseller!** Based on the wildly popular Instagram account, Subpar Parks features both the greatest hits and brand-new content, all celebrating the incredible beauty and variety of America’s national parks juxtaposed with the clueless and hilarious one-star reviews posted by visitors. Subpar Parks, both on the popular Instagram page and in this humorous, informative, and collectible book, combines two things that seem like they might not work together yet somehow harmonize perfectly: beautiful illustrations and informative, amusing text celebrating each national park paired with the one-star reviews disappointed tourists have left online. Millions of visitors each year enjoy Glacier National Park, but for one visitor, it was simply "Too cold for me!" Another saw the mind-boggling vistas of Bryce Canyon as "Too spiky!" Never mind the person who visited the thermal pools at Yellowstone National Park and left thinking, “Save yourself some money, boil some water at home.” Featuring more than 50 percent new material, the book will include more depth and insight into the most popular parks, such as Yosemite, Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon, and Acadia National Parks; anecdotes and tips from rangers; and much more about author Amber Share's personal love and connection to the outdoors. Equal parts humor and love for the national parks and the great outdoors, it's the perfect gift for anyone who loves to spend time outside as well as have a good read (and laugh) once they come indoors.

Saskatoon Public Library’s history is suffused with drama. Floods, fires, boardroom battles, clashes with City Hall, strikes,bold art robberies, outraged and belligerent patrons, pilfering and mutilation of materials, stalkers and flashers, animals at large on the premises, theft of computer equipment, and a covered-up dispute that sent its chief librarian fleeing into obscurity – all appear in these pages. Set these stormy incidents against a historical matrix of two world wars, a major Depression, world-wide epidemics, and a revolution in technology, and the colourful pageantry of the Saskatoon Library history emerges.But mostly the Library quietly hummed along – efficient, orderly and welcoming.

As an institution, the SPL has had a remarkably progressive history of service and compassion – even missionary zeal – reaching out to the disabled, the illiterate, the poor, “New Canadians” and Aboriginal folk.

The Strength of Self-Acceptance
Author: Michael E. Bernard
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 146146806X
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 301
Book Description
Self-acceptance is recognized in diverse schools of Christian and Eastern theology as well as in various schools of counseling and psychotherapy (e.g., Humanistic, Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy) as a major contributor to mental health, life satisfaction and wellness. A review of the professional literature reveals there is no text that spells out how different theologies, theories of personality and approaches to counseling and therapy conceptualize self-acceptance and how this concept is interrelated to other aspects and constructs of spirituality and psychological functioning (e.g., flexibility, mindfulness). Additionally, the field of positive psychology, which studies the character strengths and virtues that help individuals to experience well-being and to flourish, has largely ignored the concept of self-acceptance.

Summary of Sonia Choquette's The Answer Is Simple...Love Yourself, Live Your Spirit!
Author: Everest Media,
Publisher: Everest Media LLC
ISBN:
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 26
Book Description
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 We’ve been taught that we’re unlovable if we don’t meet the expectations of others. But we can’t find self-love through gaining approval from others. We can only find it by appreciating and valuing ourselves from within, from a place that goes deeper than ego or personality. #2 You are a magnificent manifestation of Spirit. To house this Divinity within your being is a gift and a pleasure. To accept your true nature is a big step toward self-love. #3 To live your Spirit, you must detach from your ego and follow your heart. By adopting certain daily practices that are simple but honest expressions of you, you’ll naturally raise the energetic frequency of your Spirit above that of ego. #4 As you connect more with your Spirit, you’ll be less entranced by the fearful running dialogue of your ego and begin to hear life’s song more deeply. You’ll become more capable of listening to and absorbing messages from others and the world around you.
