Book Description
Sitting in the middle of my bed was a pale hairless creature, with skin that looked twisted and mauled, as if it was once on fire. The abnormally long fingers of its hands tapered to fine points at the ends. Instead of legs, its lower body formed into a snake-like tail that trailed off the end of the bed. It had small, black, beady eyes and a large black mouth with jagged black teeth. It wasn't until it started laughing at me that I truly started to panic. Carl Miller saw a demon, but who would believe him? Who would believe it was anything other than a hallucination brought on by a near-death overdose? The drugs were a lark, a high he never wanted to live without. But that night, the night he almost OD'd, he saw a true reflection of his personal demon. This is a story of, "Hope", a story of, "What if?" What if there is more to addiction than it being some baffling disease that randomly afflicts people? What if there is a spiritual battle taking place all around us, all the time? What if there are forces in Relentless Pursuit of a Soul?

Book Description
Sitting in the middle of my bed was a pale, hairless creature... The abnormally long fingers of its hands tapered to fine points at the ends. Instead of legs, its lower body formed into a snake-like tail that trailed off the end of the bed. It had small, black, beady eyes and a large black mouth with black teeth. It wasn't until it started laughing at me that I truly started to panic.Carl Miller saw a demon. His life had been one big party. The drugs were a lark, a high that he never wanted to live without. But that night, the night he almost OD'd, he saw the true reflection of his inner demon. This is a unique story about a boy's journey into the horrific life of addiction. Chances are you probably know someone just like him. Someone lost in addiction. Someone who, no matter what the consequences, can't find his or her way out of the grip of their chosen substance. Drugs aren't simply something they don't want to live without—they can't live without them. Author Carl Miller was that person for over twenty years, and this is the story of how he spiraled down into addiction and what delivered him from his demons. This is a story of, 'What if?' What if there is more to addiction than just some baffling disease that afflicts some people. What if there is a spiritual battle taking place all around us, all the time?

The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry
Author: John Mark Comer
Publisher: WaterBrook
ISBN: 0525653104
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
ECPA BESTSELLER • A compelling emotional and spiritual case against hurry and in favor of a slower, simpler way of life “As someone all too familiar with ‘hurry sickness,’ I desperately needed this book.”—Scott Harrison, New York Times best-selling author of Thirst “Who am I becoming?” That was the question nagging pastor and author John Mark Comer. Outwardly, he appeared successful. But inwardly, things weren’t pretty. So he turned to a trusted mentor for guidance and heard these words: “Ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your life. Hurry is the great enemy of the spiritual life.” It wasn’t the response he expected, but it was—and continues to be—the answer he needs. Too often we treat the symptoms of toxicity in our modern world instead of trying to pinpoint the cause. A growing number of voices are pointing at hurry, or busyness, as a root of much evil. Within the pages of this book, you’ll find a fascinating roadmap to staying emotionally healthy and spiritually alive in the chaos of the modern world.

The Soul's Ministrations
Author: Marianne Tauber
Publisher: Chiron Publications
ISBN: 1630511048
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 266
Book Description
When her husband was diagnosed with a serious brain tumor, Marianne Tauber turned to art-painting and poetry-to cope with the situation. Years later, she explicates what was behind the drive to create, presenting seventeen paintings and poems alongside a narrative of the time of crisis in journal form and then delving into the concepts of Jungian psychology and alchemy to make sense of the images and their healing effect. "This is a gripping and powerful book, catalyzed by crisis and personal tragedy, but born of an imaginative and courageous spirit. Through her meditative discipline, painting, and poetry, Tauber looks unflinchingly into the darkest depths of her soul. Creatively developing an alchemical active imagination, she follows an arduous path, not only to psychological survival, but to redemption, greater wholeness, and wisdom. Replete with archetypal and symbolic amplifications, The Soul's Ministrations is a significant and scholarly contribution to Jungian literature and a valuable guide to anyone who must struggle with the tragic aspects of life or wishes to learn about the creative depths of the psyche." -Stanton Marlan, Ph.D., ABPP

Soul of the Dark Knight
Author: Alex M. Wainer
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476615055
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
This is a book about the comics genre and language, how these were used to create Batman, and how that character's longevity is largely due to the medium's unique formal qualities. It argues that Batman's core appeal is his mythic nature which allows him to transcend changes in reader tastes, the vicissitudes of the comics industry, and the changing media landscape. While including some historical elements, it is mostly a study of how the formal aspects of comics are able to evoke uniquely mythic qualities that have made Batman such a long-lived cultural phenomenon and how efforts to adapt these qualities into other media, particularly live-action feature films, have succeeded or failed based on the strategies employed. The book sheds light both on comics as a medium and art form with its own language, syntax and codes and on the process of adaptation--a growing area of study, given Hollywood's continuing interest in working with comic book superheroes.
