Book Description
Jamie Gwynmorgan doesn't believe in prayer. She doesn't believe in anything much. Except that people can't be trustedÑcertainly not anyone she's ever met. But Jamie knows some things. From experience. She knows if she died, nobody would give a damn. Nobody would even notice. She knows the better she can fight, the safer she'll be. That's why she can't resist the sleek, dark lethality of the weaponÑand the recruiter's promise that yes, if she's strong enough, good enough, she'll get to fire that weapon in combat. She doesn't care about the uniform. And screw the pretend-camaraderie. Only Safe mattersÑand if she can do combat, then maybe she can fight her way to Safe. Jamie expects a grueling fight that she might lose. What she never expects is to win love.

No More Faking Fine
Author: Esther Fleece Allen
Publisher: Zondervan
ISBN: 0310344778
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
Scripture reveals a God who meets us where we are, not where we pretend to be. No More Faking Fine is your invitation to get honest with God through the life-giving language of lament. If you've ever been given empty clichés during challenging times, you know how painful it is to be misunderstood by well-meaning people. When life hurts, we often feel pressure--from others and ourselves--to keep it together, suck it up, or pray it away. But Scripture reveals a God who lovingly invites us to give honest voice to our emotions when life hits hard. For most of her life, Esther Fleece Allen believed she could bypass the painful emotions of her broken past by shutting them down altogether. She was known as an achiever and an overcomer on the fast track to success. But in silencing her pain, she robbed herself of the opportunity to be healed. Maybe you've done the same. Esther's journey into healing began when she discovered that God has given us a real-world way to deal with raw emotions and an alternative to the coping mechanisms that end up causing more pain. It's called lament--the gut-level, honest prayer that God never ignores, never silences, and never wastes. No More Faking Fine is your permission to lament, taking you on a journey down the unexpected pathway to true intimacy with God. Drawing from careful biblical study and hard-won insight, Esther reveals how to use God's own language to come closer to him as he leads us through our pain to the light on the other side, teaching you that: We are robbing ourselves of a divine mystery and a divine intimacy when we pretend to have it all together God does not expect us to be perfect; instead, he meets us where we are There is hope beyond your heartache, disappointment, and grief Like Esther, you'll soon find that when one person stops faking fine, it gives everyone else permission to do the same.

God Is Not Great
Author: Christopher Hitchens
Publisher: McClelland & Stewart
ISBN: 1551991764
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
Christopher Hitchens, described in the London Observer as “one of the most prolific, as well as brilliant, journalists of our time” takes on his biggest subject yet–the increasingly dangerous role of religion in the world. In the tradition of Bertrand Russell’s Why I Am Not a Christian and Sam Harris’s recent bestseller, The End Of Faith, Christopher Hitchens makes the ultimate case against religion. With a close and erudite reading of the major religious texts, he documents the ways in which religion is a man-made wish, a cause of dangerous sexual repression, and a distortion of our origins in the cosmos. With eloquent clarity, Hitchens frames the argument for a more secular life based on science and reason, in which hell is replaced by the Hubble Telescope’s awesome view of the universe, and Moses and the burning bush give way to the beauty and symmetry of the double helix.

Science of the Cosmos, Science of the Soul
Author: William C. Chittick
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1780744668
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 114
Book Description
With academic courses either encouraging commercialism, or cultivating zealots, Chittick states that it is impossible to understand classical Islamic texts without the years of contemplative study that are anathema to the modern education system. Insisting upon a return to the ways of the ancient wisdom tradition, which saw the quest for knowledge of the soul, the world, and God as a unifying spiritual discipline, Chittick maintains that the study of Islamic texts cannot be treated separately from self-understanding. Fascinating, radical, and a true challenge to modern trends in academic study, this book opens a new debate in Islamic thought.

How to Live a Maximized Life
Author: Rodney Lewis Boyd
Publisher: WordCrafts Press
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 212
Book Description
You Can Live a Positive Lifestyle or You Can Live a Negative Lifestyle. The Choice is Yours! Choose. But Choose Wisely. There is no shortage of books that have been written about having a Positive Mental Attitude (P.M.A.), and how to be successful in your business, your marriage, with your finances, and in your life. Some people believe these books are only about how to "get rich quick." Others say that the idea is more about thinking only positive thoughts, speaking only positive words, and doing only positive things, with the end result of producing a positive life.On the surface, that really does sound like a great way to live. Who doesn't want to be healthy, wealthy, and wise. But without a relationship with God, those positive vibes will soon turn into negative vibes.Make no mistake, there is an abundance of hucksters, charlatans, scam & flim-flam artists-some who claim to be Christians-who are out to make a quick buck off the gullible. But just because their are con artists and wolves in sheep's clothing out there doesn't mean everything being taught about working diligently to live a successful life and having a Positive Mental Attitude is all a sham. Indeed, there is much truth to be gleaned from such teaching. Bible teacher Rodney Lewis Boyd wrote this book to make sure that true believers in Jesus Christ, the Risen Savior, do not throw out the baby with the bathwater concerning true prosperity and true success.
