Until Death Does Its Part

Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 55
Book Description
God gave and certainly He has all authority to take away; never needing to give any warning neither does He have to give any explanation to any one or give reason for His decisions. God is the creator of everything, and certainly life and death is in his hands. None of us know when it starts and neither does anyone know when it shall end, so we live each day like it will never end and embrace the next moment as its as last. Each day we awaken, we are granted time and space for this is all we have been given to be sure of and no one knows what else there is that we shall face before our days come to a close. So we live our lives in the process of time while each moment is filling with uncertainties in life. One thing comes, another leaves; something rises up and another falls; while one moves forward, another stands still; one cries and another is fill with laughter; some embrace love, but still there are those that hold on to hate; many become rich, and his brother remains poor; one seeks for his destiny, but the other man chooses not to care what it may hold; one studies to be educated, yet the other leaves it to those that feel it matters, for to him, it has no meaning. While war is in our midst, a baby is being born; some tables are set while another seek the crumbs from the trash of others; one is covered, but some still remain naked; some have much to share, still their greed holds shut their hands and another goes without; many lay in their beds while others seek shelter on the streetsfor this we share in our life and this it is for everyone, for there is nothing else for us to do. Without hope in God, many are bound to lose, so I pray its Him that you will chose, for nothing else really matters and all will come to an end, yet we must keep living . . .

Healing through the Dark Emotions

Publisher: Shambhala Publications
ISBN: 0834824272
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
Nautilus Book Award Gold Winner A psychotherapist offers “crucial” guidance on how to “alter fundamentally our fearful relationship to deep feelings,” from depression and anxiety to grief and fear (Los Angeles Times) We are all touched at some point by the dark emotions of grief, fear, or despair. In an age of global threat, these emotions have become widespread and overwhelming. While conventional wisdom warns us of the harmful effects of “negative” emotions, this revolutionary book offers a more hopeful view: there is a redemptive power in our worst feelings. Seasoned psychotherapist Miriam Greenspan argues that it’s the avoidance and denial of the dark emotions that results in the escalating psychological disorders of our time: depression, anxiety, addiction, psychic numbing, and irrational violence. And she shows us how to trust the wisdom of the dark emotions to guide, heal, and transform our lives and our world. Drawing on inspiring stories from her psychotherapy practice and personal life, and including a complete set of emotional exercises, Greenspan teaches the art of emotional alchemy by which grief turns to gratitude, fear opens the door to joy, and despair becomes the ground of a more resilient faith in life. “This remarkable book has taught me a whole new way of thinking.” —Harold Kushner, author of When Bad Things Happen to Good People “A beautiful piece of work destined to become a perennial classic.” —Martha Beck, author of The Joy Diet

Pages : 305
Book Description
“A diabolically creepy hybrid of horror and psychological suspense that thrills as much as it unsettles. You’ll keep turning the pages even as your hands shake.”—Riley Sager, New York Times best-selling author of Home Before Dark A pulse-pounding, true-crime-based horror novel inspired by the McMartin preschool trial and Satanic Panic of the ’80s. Richard doesn’t have a past. For him, there is only the present: a new marriage, a first chance at fatherhood, and a quiet life as an art teacher in Virginia. Then the body of a ritualistically murdered rabbit appears on his school’s playground, along with a birthday card for him. But Richard hasn’t celebrated his birthday since he was known as Sean . . . In the 1980s, Sean was five years old when his mother unwittingly led him to tell a lie about his teacher. When school administrators, cops, and therapists questioned him, he told another. And another. And another. Each was more outlandish than the last—and fueled a moral panic that engulfed the nation and destroyed the lives of everyone around him. Now, thirty years later, someone is here to tell Richard that they know what Sean did. But who would even know that these two are one and the same? Whisper Down the Lane is a tense and compulsively readable exploration of a world primed by paranoia to believe the unbelievable.
