Surviving the Narcissist’s Dance
Author: Zac Thatcher
Publisher: Zac Thatcher

Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
Surviving the Narcissist’s Dance is an autobiographical account of a dysfunctional relationship with a woman presumed to be suffering from Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). The author guides the reader through the different stages of the relationship, exploring how he missed the early signs that things were not right, and detailing the unravelling of the illusion that he was living the perfect life. The author’s writings about his experiences are never judgemental or emotional, but simply lay out the facts for the reader to absorb and to draw their own conclusions. The complex themes of emotional and psychological abuse addressed in Surviving the Narcissist’s Dance are powerful, and have the ability to connect deeply with the audience. Surviving the Narcissist’s Dance is designed to serve both as a story of survival and as a warning to others who may have doubts or suspicions that their partner is suffering from NPD. It allows people in similar situations to have a clearer view of what they are experiencing, or have gone through, as well as recover and move on.

In Need of Your Prayers and Patience
Author: Mary Lou Shea
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1498223869
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 551
Book Description
The Church of the Nazarene embraces American attachments to democratic rule, individual initiative, efficiency, and a strong sense of responsibility as "a city on a hill." It is also present in more than 150 world areas. These attributes are reflected in the astounding story of one of the founders of the denomination, H. F. Reynolds, who has been long hidden in the shadow of his early colleague, Phineas Bresee. While the church points to Bresee as its founding father, Reynolds lived and served for an additional two decades following Bresee's death, shaping the role of the General Superintendency, clarifying and expanding the church's Manual to meet the needs of the growing denomination, and establishing mission policies and practices that took it from a US church to a global presence. Reynolds maintained a lively devotion to Christ as he survived train wrecks, war, dread disease, and the sheer volume of meetings, correspondence, and explosive scandal that came with the nurturing of a new church. His vision and methods have profoundly influenced a denomination that does not know his name. This volume is designed to make the introduction.

Book Description
Sharon M. Draper presents “storytelling at its finest” (School Library Journal, starred review) in this New York Times bestselling Depression-era novel about a young girl who must learn to be brave in the face of violent prejudice when the Ku Klux Klan reappears in her segregated southern town. Stella lives in the segregated South—in Bumblebee, North Carolina, to be exact about it. Some stores she can go into. Some stores she can’t. Some folks are right pleasant. Others are a lot less so. To Stella, it sort of evens out, and heck, the Klan hasn’t bothered them for years. But one late night, later than she should ever be up, much less wandering around outside, Stella and her little brother see something they’re never supposed to see, something that is the first flicker of change to come, unwelcome change by any stretch of the imagination. As Stella’s community—her world—is upended, she decides to fight fire with fire. And she learns that ashes don’t necessarily signify an end.

Pages : 294
Book Description
The only hope for the last free stars now lies on the path of blood and glory. The princess of Shinihon could not have picked a worse time to run away. The largest Hameji battle fleet ever assembled threatens to overrun the last of the free stars. To make matters worse, a rogue assassin from an unknown faction has killed the high admiral of the Federation. Without clear leadership, the war may be lost before she can be found. But Danica Nova and her band of Tajji mercenaries are no strangers to lost causes. They've fought the Hameji before, and they'll fight them again—not for honor, or for glory, but simply for the pay. War has been their way of life ever since the diaspora from the homeworld. Master Sergeant Roman Krikoryan is one of the few remaining mercenaries still old enough to remember the homeworld. But he's an old cyborg, and his humanity is fading. Death is a mercy he doesn't expect to find on this mission. They aren't the only ones after the princess, however. Hungry for glory and eager to make a name for himself, Sholpan's son Abaqa seeks to make the girl his slave. Though only a boy, he'll stop at nothing to prove himself to his Hameji brethren. With the Federation in disarray, the bloody end of the war may come too soon for some of them. But one thing is certain—not all of them will live to see it.
