No More Hiding, No More Shame
Author: Brent Edward McNamara

ISBN: 1617392685

Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
No one wants to talk about it. No one wants to admit to it. But it's time for No More Hiding, No More Shame. It's time for transparency. Here are the facts: Forty million adults in the U.S. regularly visit porn sites on the Internet. Forty-seven percent of families say pornography is a problem in their home. But this problem isn't limited to the secular world. Pornography addiction has reached epidemic proportions in the church. A recent survey showed that 51 percent of pastors confessed to looking at porn on their church office computers; 37 percent say it is a current struggle. Twenty percent of Christian women have admitted they are addicted to pornography. For author Brent McNamara, these statistics hit close to home. Pornography addiction destroyed his life, his family, and his ministry. In this book, he traces the source of his addiction from its childhood roots to its adulthood manifestation and then shows how he ultimately overcame this addiction by the grace of God. In sharing his own story and struggle with pornography, McNamara offers readers who are trapped in pornography addiction the hope that they too can be free from this terrible addiction and gives them step-by-step, practical advice on how to get there. Brent McNamara earned a B.S. in Bible-Pastoral Studies from Philadelphia Biblical University and is currently pursuing his M. Div. at Philadelphia Biblical University. He is Pastor of Connection at Crossbridge Community Church in Woolwich, New Jersey. Brent also facilitates a Christian Addiction Recovery Group.

The New Metaphysicals
Author: Courtney Bender
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226043177
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 266
Book Description
American spirituality—with its focus on individual meaning, experience, and exploration—is usually thought to be a product of the postmodern era. But, as The New Metaphysicals makes clear, contemporary American spirituality has historic roots in the nineteenth century and a great deal in common with traditional religious movements. To explore this world, Courtney Bender combines research into the history of the movement with fieldwork in Cambridge, Massachusetts—a key site of alternative religious inquiry from Emerson and William James to today. Through her ethnographic analysis, Bender discovers that a focus on the new, on progress, and on the way spiritual beliefs intersect with science obscures the historical roots of spirituality from its practitioners and those who study it alike—and shape an enduring set of modern religious possibilities in the process.

Languages : en
Pages : 1030
Book Description
Two children, one birthright. . . . Nineteen years after the Tree of Ice died to trap the dark Devourer in a time freeze on Earth, Earth has begun to thaw, and now Sarah and Ben's grown children must find their destined consorts to help them defeat the Devourer once and for all. Korrien Moontouched is the Heir of Light. As if the pressures of helping his mother and Queen lead their growing clan weren't enough, he and his twin sister have grown up knowing they are the keys to the Devourer's final defeat—to concluding the Battle for Earth, which has been frozen in time since before he was born, along with the rest of Earth. Yet, nineteen years after the battle, Earth's time thaw begins, throwing Rien into the Seven Realms' efforts to secretly protect humanity from their common enemy. The thaw also offers Rien his sole opportunity to find his consort—because Rien has to marry a pure human of Ice. But so far, the only young woman to have escaped the time freeze of Earth is nothing like what the logical, perfectionist prince had so carefully planned for himself. As feisty and unpredictable as she is pretty and petite, Sierra Knight encapsulates everything Rien finds aggravating . . . and irresistible. Serona Sunfilled is the Heir of Flame. Even so, the bright and bubbling young woman has only three goals in life: One, keep her oh-so-serious twin brother sane. Two, make her beloved papa and King proud. And three, find the mate the Tree of Flame promised her and live happily ever after. Yet things aren't quite that simple. When the Tree of Flame sends Rona to an unknown world in search of her consort, the dragon who awaits her is nothing like she had expected—and belongs to the rarest of Powers, one that can only be born from the dying embers of calamity. Suddenly, nothing is as perfect as the sunny princess believed it would be. Though Drevior is as tantalizingly handsome as he is scarred, he returns with her carrying secrets and sorrows—and he brings a dire warning of an entirely new threat to the Seven Realms . . . which he will risk everything, even his life, to deliver. For there are other dark powers besides the Devourer, and as the Devourer weakens and its defeat approaches, one of them turns its thirst on the Seven Realms. If the Realms and Earth are to survive the coming days, both Rien and Rona will have to claim their birthright and at last unite all four Powers of Life—Flame, Ice, Light, and Ember . . . . . . in one.

Book Description
BEAUTY BENEATH THE F.A.T. This book is not about how much you weigh (large or small), food, garment sizes, labels people place on us, or labels we place on ourselves. It is not about a diet we have started or one we did not finish. This book is about change. The word FAT is viewed negatively when it comes to describing people, especially those who look like they are overweight. When researching the word “fat,” I found out it is a unique form of energy and serves many different purposes in the body. However, too much of anything is not good, particularly when it comes to our health. I have taken the word and made an acronym of F.A.T. and developed a concept for positive energy, purpose and change for life, if you are willing to confront self—large or small.
