Book Description
Why Read This Book? Are you overwhelmed by the noise and chaos that our world offers today? Are you desperate for a real solution of feeling inner peace that actually lasts? There is a strong gravitational pull of external forces that constantly push us in directions that are not always healthiest for our souls. We need greater balance to manage so many priorities and pressures that rob us daily of healthy energy and motivation. The Compass Club-Directing the Arrow toward Peace is a spiritually inspiring life guide that offers intentional strategies for peaceful living. It's a simple, easy to follow plan with a logical continuum of strategies directed to seven life quadrants that deliver hope, healing and happiness. The Compass Club community share the same faith values with courageous convictions that cannot be compromised in a world that does not offer peace. The chaos may persist, but as a member of this Compass Club you will be strengthened by Christ, the core of your soul and the center of all of your life intentions. Directing the Arrow toward Peace is a real plan for long lasting peace as Jesus intended when He said, "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give you." It's time to finally embrace His invitation and experience it fully in your mind, body and soul!

Book Description
You don't have to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders. Just love fast and live slow. NO MORE WONDERING IF YOU'VE DONE ENOUGH. NO MORE QUESTIONING GOD'S PURPOSE FOR YOU. NO MORE OVERTHINKING EVERY DECISION. Humanity is overwhelmed with feelings of distress now more than ever. The world is looking for a solution to the angst. A trending solution to this overarching misalignment is to fill our lives with more. More stuff. More money. More exercise. More volunteering. More prestige. We look outward to satisfy our hunger for happiness. When the pendulum swings too far in our pursuit for more, it leads us to counter that busyness with a desperate evacuation: having less, doing less, spending less, conquering less. However, owning less or doing less is still an external solution to an internal problem. Have you ever come to God begging for rest and clarity? I have. And He's told me (multiple times), "I'll let you know what you need to know, when you need to know it. In the meantime, do what I've already told you." And what we know we should be doing, rain or shine, clear or foggy, is to live like Jesus did. That is why Love Fast Live Slow exists.

How to Do Things with Words
Author: John Langshaw Austin
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 019824553X
Category : Language and languages
Languages : en
Pages : 181
Book Description
This work sets out Austin's conclusions in the field to which he directed his main efforts for at least the last ten years of his life. Starting from an exhaustive examination of his already well-known distinction between performative utterances and statements, Austin here finally abandons that distinction, replacing it with a more general theory of 'illocutionary forces' of utterances which has important bearings on a wide variety of philosophicalproblems.

Muhammad's Allah
Author: Ahmed Hulusi
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780615634883
Category : God (Islam)
Languages : en
Pages : 158
Book Description
Why not just Allah? Why Muhammad's Allah? This unique book explains that Allah is not a god (deity) and that this god-concept we have all come to embrace, as a result of misleading information and conditioning, is not the Allah expounded by Muhammad (saw). Everyone, from the most learned to the most ignorant, has a concept of God. A God that we love, get angry with, judge and even accuse, at times, for doing wrong by us! We imagine this God, who sits on a star in the heavens or dwells somewhere in space, to be like a benevolent paternal figure or a majestic sultan! Those with broader views (!) are well aware, of course, that such a God cannot exist and claim they do not believe in a God, proudly declaring themselves as atheists. Whereas, neither the aforementioned believers who postulate a God with their hearsay knowledge and conditionings, nor the atheists who deny and reject the idea of a God, have any awareness of Allah as explained by Muhammad (saw)! So what is the reality of Allah revealed by Muhammad (saw)? Muhammad (saw), who articulated the Quran to us, taught us there is no God, that there is only Allah; that there is a System present within life, by which those who fail to comply, are led to suffer the consequences of their own actions. If we live with the awareness of the existence of an afterlife, our primary concern should be to know Allah and the life awaiting us after death, so that we may prepare accordingly. Taking this into consideration, let us now try to understand the One denoted by the name Allah disclosed by Muhammad (saw).

Dark Deeds

Languages : en
Pages : 360
Book Description
Rescue might just be the death of her. Far from home . . . Fiona Russell has been snatched from Earth, imprisoned and used as slave labor, but nothing about her abduction makes sense. When she's rescued by the Grih, she realizes there's a much bigger game in play than she could ever have imagined, and she's right in the middle of it. Far from safe . . . Battleship captain Hal Vakeri is chasing down pirates when he stumbles across a woman abducted from Earth. She's the second one the Grih have found in two months, and her presence is potentially explosive in the Grih's ongoing negotiations with their enemies, the Tecran. The Tecran and the Grih are on the cusp of war, and Fiona might just tip the balance. Far from done . . . Fiona has had to bide her time while she's been a prisoner, pretending to be less than she is, but when the chance comes for her to forge her own destiny in the new world she's found herself in, she grabs it with both hands. After all, actions speak louder than words.

Talk Is Cheap
Author: John Haiman
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0198027508
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 231
Book Description
Putting aside questions of truth and falsehood, the old "talk is cheap" maxim carries as much weight as ever. Indeed, perhaps more. For one need not be an expert in irony or sarcasm to realize that people don't necessarily mean what they say. Phrases such as "Yeah, right" and "I couldn't care less" are so much a part of the way we speak--and the way we live--that we are more likely to notice when they are absent (for example, Forrest Gump). From our everyday dialogues and conversations ("Thanks a lot!") to the screenplays of our popular films (Pulp Fiction and Fargo), what is said is frequently very different from what is meant. Talk is Cheap begins with this telling observation and proceeds to argue that such "unplain speaking" is fundamentally embedded in the way we now talk. Author John Haiman traces this sea-change in our use of language to the emergence of a postmodern "divided self" who is hyper-conscious that what he or she is saying has been said before; "cheap talk" thus allows us to distance ourselves from a social role with which we are uncomfortable. Haiman goes on to examine the full range of these pervasive distancing mechanisms, from clichés and quotation marks to camp and parody. Also, and importantly, this text highlights several new ways in which the English language is evolving (and has evolved) in response to our postmodern world view. In other words, this study shows us how what we are saying is gradually separating itself from how we say it. As provocative as it is timely, the book will be fascinating reading for students of linguistics, literature, communication, anthropology, philosophy, and popular culture.
