Book Description
Life is full of surprises in this tempting world, how we handle these moments depends entirely on how balanced we live. Choices surround us from morning to night, as do nature and the universe. How we engage with our beliefs along the path is what will get us to the destination, whether that be a smooth or rough journey with light or dark energy. I have shared my deepest moments in honesty while trusting my choices, be them good or bad. We cannot hide from our past, we cannot relive it, yet we are able to adjust our decisions moving forward to achieve anything that our soul desires. You are not alone on this planet or in this universe, only once a human interacts with their basic life structure, will this truly become apparent. A life filled with temptation of the flesh will result in an obstacle of tests that have become our own choice and detriment. A life chosen to be fulfilled with appreciation and gratitude for the gift of what we have been given. There are signs along the way, what we choose to do with them and how we perceive them all ties up with our choices. Our past and family history has a major effect on what we currently experience, have already witnessed and what the future will unfold.

Book Description
In this life, we go through situations that allow us to act. We act mentally then physically. And when we act, there is a reaction. A reaction both mentally, then physically we respond; not always in the correct way, not always with wisdom. People, places and things are affected by our actions: Always whether we are aware of it or not. That is a lot of pressure on a person - to always know that every action has a reaction and that for the most part, all things are affected by our actions. Consider this is exactly that: Consider this before you act and Consider this before you react. Not all of us have someone in our lives that can be that physical voice of reason. A physical confirmation to what God has been guiding us to do. This is a positive realistic approach to consider when you have considered it all, or nothing at all. Dr. B. Elizabeth Short-Clark is president and founder, of Kingdom Kare Christian Counseling, and a Ministry that bears her name. Dr. Short-Clark is on sabbatical from the National Bible College and Seminary where she is an instructor. She is a member of the Temple of Praise, of Washington DC, where she is an Elder, under the leadership of Bishop Glen A. Staples. Dr. Short-Clark is the daughter of Mrs. Arline Short and the late, beloved Mr. Robert H. Short, of St. Mary's County Maryland. Dr. Short-Clark lived and served in ministry, in Philadelphia, PA, for over twenty years. Through the years Dr. Short-Clark has Pastored, preached and taught, and has been tremendously influential in prison ministering of God's Word in Philadelphia. Dr. Short-Clark has travelled throughout the United States, Europe, and Africa, preaching the Word of God.

Consider the Fork
Author: Bee Wilson
Publisher: Basic Books
ISBN: 0465033326
Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 354
Book Description
Award-winning food writer Bee Wilson's secret history of kitchens, showing how new technologies - from the fork to the microwave and beyond - have fundamentally shaped how and what we eat. Since prehistory, humans have braved sharp knives, fire, and grindstones to transform raw ingredients into something delicious -- or at least edible. But these tools have also transformed how we consume, and how we think about, our food. In Consider the Fork, award-winning food writer Bee Wilson takes readers on a wonderful and witty tour of the evolution of cooking around the world, revealing the hidden history of objects we often take for granted. Technology in the kitchen does not just mean the Pacojets and sous-vide machines of the modern kitchen, but also the humbler tools of everyday cooking and eating: a wooden spoon and a skillet, chopsticks and forks. Blending history, science, and personal anecdotes, Wilson reveals how our culinary tools and tricks came to be and how their influence has shaped food culture today. The story of how we have tamed fire and ice and wielded whisks, spoons, and graters, all for the sake of putting food in our mouths, Consider the Fork is truly a book to savor.

Book Description
The first book in Iain M. Banks's seminal science fiction series, The Culture. Consider Phlebas introduces readers to the utopian conglomeration of human and alien races that explores the nature of war, morality, and the limitless bounds of mankind's imagination. The war raged across the galaxy. Billions had died, billions more were doomed. Moons, planets, the very stars themselves, faced destruction, cold-blooded, brutal, and worse, random. The Idirans fought for their Faith; the Culture for its moral right to exist. Principles were at stake. There could be no surrender. Within the cosmic conflict, an individual crusade. Deep within a fabled labyrinth on a barren world, a Planet of the Dead proscribed to mortals, lay a fugitive Mind. Both the Culture and the Idirans sought it. It was the fate of Horza, the Changer, and his motley crew of unpredictable mercenaries, human and machine, actually to find it, and with it their own destruction.
