Book Description
Well Before I could move he was kissing me. I gasped from the suddenness and the shock. I could not believe that he was being so bold. I always thought he was too afraid of my father to do something like that. The feel of his lips wasnt that comfortable but they were really warm. When he did pull away, I did not know what to say. The silence seemed to go on forever. I am sorry Ellen I wanted to do that yesterday but Jack, I know that you are trying to make this work, I really do. Its just that I am not ready for a relationship right now. I am not trying to be rude but I would like it a lot better if we could just be friends. Again he was silent. He would not even look at me. His face turned from a nice blush to a dark crimson. He was very tense. His hands were balled up and the vein in his neck was bulging. His eyes even looked like they were almost closed. And then it happened; he blew up like a balloon. I CANT BELIEVE YOU! YOU WANT ME TO BELIEVE THAT ALL OF THIS TIME YOU HAVENT HAD ANY FEELING FOR ME! YOURE PLAYING THIS SWEET AND INNOCENT LITTLE GAME AND IM SUPPOSE TO SIT BACK AND WAIT FOR YOU TO COME TO YOUR SENSES? WELL I HAVE NEWS FOR YOU! IM DONE WITH YOU! He left me shaking in fear.

Reality is harsh. Its the fine line that makes up how the rules go for us in life. There are not always easy rules that you can slide with or fun rules that you can twist and make your own. There are however some ways that reality can be just too much for one human to handle and thats when a human gets lost in a world called FANTASY! Fantasy is not harsh. Fantasy is easy, its simple, and it can make life a game: it can turn almost anything into a playground. Its the place where I met a guy, the guy that makes a big change in my life and turns my life from real life into fantasy. He shows me how to make the the fine line clear enough so that I could walk the line without falling. But if I do fall I know that he will catch me. So what is my Fantasy? It all started with my family vacation one summer. The vacation I will not soon forget and the boy that will forever change my life. My name is Ellen Smith. My story is unlike anything I could have imagined. The ending seems to never come. The grave is only a dream. Is it a dream or a nightmare? Is it fantasy or reality? I am not really sure, so lets start at the beginning.

David Mann, together with an impressive array of international contributors represent a broad spectrum of psychoanalytic perspectives, including Kleinian, Jungian, Independent Group, and Lacanian, psychotherapists, psychoanalysts and analytical psychologists. With emphasis on clinical illustration throughout, the writers show how different psychoanalytic schools think about and clinically work with the experience and passions of love and hate.

Adamant
Author: Lisa Bevere
Publisher: Baker Books
ISBN: 1493407244
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 223
Book Description
By ancient definition, the adamant was known as both a diamond and a mythical stone of indestructible wonder. In more modern terminology, it describes a posture of unshakeable resolve and determination. If there was ever a time for us to be adamant about love and truth it is now. God is Love. God is Truth. Both love and truth are timeless, transcending our current trends and opinions. Sometimes the most loving thing we will ever do is to speak the truth, but speaking truth begins with living it. Using the mediums of Scripture and story, New York Times bestselling author Lisa Bevere takes readers on a journey into the Mountain of God, to the one place they can learn not only to abide in God's unshakeable truth and love, but become adamant--people who are unmovable, determined, and steadfast. With conviction and passion, Lisa unpacks the concept of the adamant for readers, linking together the grand story of Scripture and God's purpose in their lives. Readers will see that God's plan is revealed as we dwell in him, it is there that we are forged and shaped. As we abide in Christ our Cornerstone we are shaped into the image of the adamant.

Get this, I'm supposed to be starting a journal about "my journey." Please. I can see it now: Dear Diary, As I'm set adrift on this crazy sea called "life" . . . I don't think so. It's been seventy-five days. Amy's sick of her parents suddenly taking an interest in her. And she's really sick of people asking her about Julia. Julia's gone now, and she doesn't want to talk about it. They wouldn't get it, anyway. They wouldn't understand what it feels like to have your best friend ripped away from you. They wouldn't understand what it feels like to know it's your fault. Amy's shrink thinks it would help to start a diary. Instead, Amy starts writing letters to Julia. But as she writes letter after letter, she begins to realize that the past wasn't as perfect as she thought it was—and the present deserves a chance too.

Jesus > Religion
Author: Jefferson Bethke
Publisher: HarperChristian + ORM
ISBN: 1400205409
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
Abandon dead, dry, religious rule-keeping and embrace the promise of being truly known and deeply loved. Jefferson Bethke burst into the cultural conversation with a passionate, provocative poem titled "Why I Hate Religion, But Love Jesus." The 4-minute video became an overnight sensation, with 7 million YouTube views in its first 48 hours (and 23+ million in a year). Bethke's message clearly struck a chord with believers and nonbelievers alike, triggering an avalanche of responses running the gamut from encouraged to enraged. In his New York Times bestseller Jesus > Religion, Bethke unpacks similar contrasts that he drew in the poem--highlighting the difference between teeth gritting and grace, law and love, performance and peace, despair, and hope. With refreshing candor, he delves into the motivation behind his message, beginning with the unvarnished tale of his own plunge from the pinnacle of a works-based, fake-smile existence that sapped his strength and led him down a path of destructive behavior. Along the way, Bethke gives you the tools you need to: Humbly and prayerfully open your mind Understand Jesus for all that he is View the church from a brand-new perspective Bethke is quick to acknowledge that he's not a pastor or theologian, but simply an ordinary, twenty-something who cried out for a life greater than the one for which he had settled. On this journey, Bethke discovered the real Jesus, who beckoned him with love beyond the props of false religion. Praise for Jesus > Religion: "Jeff's book will make you stop and listen to a voice in your heart that may have been drowned out by the noise of religion. Listen to that voice, then follow it--right to the feet of Jesus." --Bob Goff, author of New York Times bestsellers Love Does and Everybody, Always "The book you hold in your hands is Donald Miller's Blue Like Jazz meets C. S. Lewis's Mere Christianity meets Augustine's Confessions. This book is going to awaken an entire generation to Jesus and His grace." --Derwin L. Gray, lead pastor of Transformation Church, author of Limitless Life: Breaking Free from the Labels That Hold You Back
