Chasing Beautiful

Languages : en
Pages : 254
Book Description
Every single woman I know wants to look and feel beautiful. The desire is independent of age, background, marriage or social status, education, or physical fitness level. Our pursuit of beauty begins at a young age, takes twists and turns throughout our lives, but never seems to leave the heart of a woman. It almost feels like God placed it there when He made us. Culture tells us to chase beauty with all the dollars, gym hours, and beauty products we can find, an approach that often leaves us feeling exhausted, hungry, and less than enough. But what does God say about beauty and physical appearance in the Bible? This six-week Bible study will help you explore how and when your own concept of beauty developed, how its interwoven in the fabric of your life, what God says about beauty in the Bible, what is your full identity in Christ, how Satan attacks us in this area, what it means to be the temple of the Holy Spirit, and what to do when we struggle. Stop chasing beautiful when you already are. Learn to take your eyes off the mirror, the selfie, the magazine cover, and the girl next door. Instead, listen to the Holy Spirit as He whispers, “Eyes up here.” Discover how to rest so easily and joyfully in who God’s made you to be that you can finally, confidently lift your eyes off yourself and more fully step into the mission of God.

Searching For Paradise
Author: T.L. Hughes
Publisher: Outskirts Press
ISBN: 1478765704
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
In his sophisticated debut novel, T.L. Hughes draws on his New England upbringing in an Irish Catholic family to tell the story of his main character, Mike Hogan’s, cross country venture from Southern California back to the small mill town where he grew up. The lure of the road reunites Mike and his two travel companions with old friends, family, and acquaintances. As the three friends bounce from place to place, freeloading across the expanses of beautiful America, they see life again through those they once knew and loved and through new friends and experiences. In the process of it all, they rediscover the goodness within themselves that was always there. Searching For Paradise is a coming of age story filled with vivid imagery and resonating musical references to the artists and songs of the 1970s and 1980s. Above all else it is a love story of great depth and beauty. "While 'Searching for Paradise' by T. L. Hughes comes to us as a highway story, the book is as much about the elemental pull of tribal roots as it is about the lure of the road." - Paul Marion, The Lowell Sun "Beautifully written and engagingly presented, SEARCHING FOR PARADISE is a road trip where the characters drive back to their roots in search of where they came from, but seek to transcend their past lives in search of something more exciting, more attainable, yet more liberating." ~IndieReader "Tom Wolfe's admonition that 'you can't go home again' is belayed by the experiences in Searching for Paradise. Sure, you can go home again - and re-view it from the vantage point of new insights and life experiences. Connections between past and present are well done in a story that reveals just where this paradise is to be found." - D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review

Sex Drive
Author: Bella Ellwood-Clayton
Publisher: Allen & Unwin
ISBN: 1741756669
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 334
Book Description
For many women an active sex life is on the bottom of their 'must have' list. What's happened to their sexual urges? Is it a medical issue, or a matter of competing priorities? One of Australia's leading sexual anthropologists investigates. Is women's sexual desire in the Western world at an all time low? When it comes to women's priorities, is sex on top? Lack of libido is women's most common sexual problem and once in a secure relationship, women's sex drive begins to plummet. Exploring what our libido is and why it is being depleted, sexual anthropologist Dr Bella Ellwood-Clayton argues that women don't want sex because they don't feel sexy. At a time when women's libidos are being threatened by the wider forces of media, marketing and medication and our increasingly pressured lives, who can blame them? With increasing numbers of women with low libido being diagnosed as 'sexually dysfunctional', the race to create a 'pink Viagra' is on. But do we have unrealistic expectations about our sex drive? Who defines what is normal and abnormal? And could 'low libido' in fact be the natural order of things? Provocative, authoritative and engaging, Sex Drive: In pursuit of female desire is both fascinating reading and a book that is creating passionate debate.
