Five Minutes Millionaire
Author: Dabeer Mallik
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 147717978X
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 302
Book Description
Life is a journey and road is the destination, our value system is our Atlas guide to lifes challenges, and we make our decisions by referring to its maps; our values. Unfortunately a map book drawn by an inexperienced teen-ager is not a reliable guide to steer us through the twists and turns of life, nor is it good for a safe highway driving. We learn our values from our parents and the surroundings. Most of the parents are/were not versed with the science or art of success, so they passed on the values they knew best; especially if they were poor they may have passed a very limited vision of life to you. In their opinion, making a living and raising a family were the ultimate challenge, and they may have lovingly and innocently passed them on to you, there by robbing you of your true potential. True potential of any life is no less than Mother Teresa, Gandhi, Donald Trump, Martha Stewart or any other household name. The only difference is Desire, and a proven value system. To succeed in life one needs desire, but most of us dont know where the desires come from or how to create them; for that one needs to understand how our mind functions. No doubt Desire, is the starting point of all major success, desire alone is not enough. We also need Faith, a clear unshakable understanding of how Nature or God grants desire that look totally out of our reach. And last but not the least what role, if any does money play in our success, how do they get rich and what can you do to ensure your riches. What good is all the success, if we cant even be happy, even though success and possessions have very little to do with happiness if at all. To explain all these issues that involves psychology, metaphysics, spirituality, religion and economics in a book that can be read in two to four hours without putting the reader to a sleep was/is a challenge. This book is specially written for young adults who dont have time or interest in reading such topics. Five Minute Millionaire draws on solid facts to inspire the reader; it is written in interesting provocative style, in short articles ranging from one line on a page to a maximum of three pages printed in a large font, yet it inspires every reader. The book comes with optional Instant Motivation, software that lets you see your progress on a daily basis. They say nothing succeeds like success, when you see your money grow, your health improve and your happiness increase, it reinforces your belief in your thinking, your system and your actions; that is the secret to ultimate success in life, realization of ones full potential.

From a Drunkard to a Pastor
Author: Jim Moreland
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN: 1973657554
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 130
Book Description
From a Drunkard to a Pastor is the story about how Jesus Christ can take a lost soul drowning in alcohol and drugs and transform that person into a vessel worthy to be used by God to reach the lost for Christ. This book also describes areas in the Christians life where a Christian needs to work toward completeness in Christ (spiritual maturity). The author describes in detail the struggles he went through trying to find answers to the question, “how in the world did I get so far from God?” He writes of God’s love for mankind and the extremes God went through to restore mankind to fellowship with him. The author speaks of his depravity in hope that it will convey the message to others that no matter how far you have fallen and no matter how hopeless life may seem that God is able to reach down from heaven and put you on a path to recovery and a new hope. The common theme throughout this book is the necessity to grow in your walk with Christ, and this is a how-to book to accomplish that based on the author’s own experience. The book gives practices and insights on what helped the author in his quest to be more like Jesus. Christians are called to be like Jesus, and that calling does not come easy. It takes hard work, commitment, love for Christ, and love for our fellow human beings. This book guides you on a path that will help you reach spiritual maturity.

And I Do Not Forgive You: Stories and Other Revenges
Author: Amber Sparks
Publisher: Liveright Publishing
ISBN: 1631496212
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
Amber Sparks holds her crown in the canon of the weird with this fantastical collection of “eye-popping range” (John Domini, Washington Post). Boldly blending fables and myths with apocalyptic technologies, Amber Sparks has built a cultlike following with And I Do Not Forgive You. Fueled by feminism in all its colors, her surreal worlds—like Kelly Link’s and Karen Russell’s—are all-too-real. In “Mildly Happy, With Moments of Joy,” a friend is ghosted by a text message; in “Everyone’s a Winner at Meadow Park,” a teen coming-of-age in a trailer park befriends an actual ghost. Rife with “sharp wit, and an abiding tenderness” (Ilana Masad, NPR), these stories shine an interrogating light on the adage that “history likes to lie about women,” as the subjects of “You Won’t Believe What Really Happened to the Sabine Women” will attest. Written in prose that both shimmers and stings, the result is “nothing short of a raging success, a volume that points to a potentially incandescent literary future” (Kurt Baumeister, The Brooklyn Rail).
