Lockdowns, Zoom meetings, and reduced physical contact have made us more dependent on the internet than ever before—and now we want to log off.

Disconnected examines these topics and offers tangible tips and advice for those of us who might feel a little lost and are looking to find our real-life selves again.

Pages : 113
Book Description
A debut collection of poetry from Alex Rose that explains the different phases of loneliness. To be temporarily disconnected means to be lost, and where do lost minds go? Our minds roam and end up in the darkest corner of the brain, or try very hard to find light glowing somewhere. That light can be dreams, fairytales, memories, people. When a computer screen goes blank it can appear broken but it is only temporarily disconnected. Perhaps the motor just needed a break to escape reality and will turn on if you just try again. If you feel like you are broken these poems are here to tell you that you are not. It is okay to feel sad and it is important to know those emotions will not last forever. Temporarily Disconnected explores raw emotions of sadness, nostalgia, infatuation and hope. It encourages readers to find the strength to keep moving forward. You are not alone

The Disconnected Man
Author: Jim Turner
Publisher: FaithWords
ISBN: 1478975636
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 124
Book Description
The Disconnected Man tracks the journey of one man's surprise discovery of his own disconnectedness and his desire to help other men, and the women who love them, before it is too late. Disconnected men hide out in plain view: in our churches, in our families and in our communities. They are competent, capable men who quietly 'do their duty' and attract little attention. They are fairly happy guys, relatively unemotional and capable of carrying heavy loads of responsibility, but are very difficult to get to know beyond superficial friendship. A closer examination inside their marriages reveals a desert strewn with emotionally emaciated spouses. While their competence may build the church, organize a group, or run a company, they haven't the slightest notion how to connect intimately with those they love. Their wives suffer, usually in silence, while the church and culture press past this couple secretly falling apart. Jim Turner was that disconnected man going about his life, happily fulfilling his duty within his own self-protective bubble, until God suddenly burst it in a most horrific way. His story starts when that devastation left him clinging precariously to the remaining shreds of his broken marriage. Jim longs to share with other disconnected men what he learned through that ordeal, to help them understand their disobedience and show how they can achieve real connection with those they love.
