Book Description
Dr. John A. Huffman, a leading figure in evangelical circles, says: Dwight Carlson has courageously tackled some of the toughest questions about heaven/hell and who will and will not be savedOne cannot read this book and remain content to have easy answers to heavy, complex questions. Instead one is overwhelmed with Gods grace....Dont read [Wholl Be in Heaven and Who Wont] unless you are willing to think, have previously unquestioned presuppositions challenged and to consider that perhaps when the veil of mystery is lifted you discover a God more demanding in his righteousness and more mercifully generous in the scope of his salvation than you have previously considered. The author asserts that there is a significant body of crucial information about life after death that is not being communicated to the average person on the street. Apropos is John Sanderss statement: I have found that many laypeople have hopes for the unevangelized but do not know how to articulate and defend such hopes. Within evangelicalism, the wider hope is more popular in the pews than in the pulpits. In fact, it has been suggested that evangelical leaders have managed to keep a tight lid on this volatile topic.[i] [i] John Sanders, No Other Name: An Investigation into the Destiny of the Unevangelized (Eugene, OR: Wipf and Stock, 2001), 23, 20.

I'll Close My Eyes (but I Won't be Asleep)
Author: Elisa Adler
Publisher: Dog Ear Publishing
ISBN: 1457509660
Category : Adult children of aging parents
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
Delusion, dementia or discourse? A daughter insists on the latter, and with the threads of her mother's narratives weaves for them a raft of words. These conversations, unlike anything I'd shared with her before, shocked me. I was glad they happened only when we were alone together. I'd never even thought these things I heard us say, didn't know where they came from. But since they seemed to make sense to her, I kept inviting her to speak. She'd say something, I'd listen, say something back;we were together in words. As if what we said to each other arose, not from our own learning or experience, but some underlying chord that included our voices but was bigger, spoke through them, as if the sound of the ocean were encoded in the sounds of the rain. I'll Close My Eyes(But I Won't Be Asleep)sounds an intimate, heartbreaking, and sometimes humorous, end-of-life chord in a mother and daughter relationship.A compelling memoir, I'll Close My Eyes(But I Won't Be Asleep)is an honest account of what, for most of us, remains hidden and unheard. It will be useful for anyone torn by conflicting desires and demands, battered by memory, grief and rage, and struggling to give care. Elisa Adler studied at the University of California, Berkeley, Mills College and, in Bogota, Colombia, at Centro de Estudios Colombo-Americanos. She has worked as a newspaper reporter, translator, interpreter, laborer and domestic, teaches English and Spanish at colleges in California and Nevada, and farms with her daughter and husband in the northern Sierra.

Stuff I'll Tell You To Do That I Won't Do Myself
Author: Cara Ward
Publisher: Cara Ward
ISBN:
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 201
Book Description
Part self-help book, part memoir … with a twist. Cara takes you through the events that have shaped her life – from an iatrogenic condition which left her housebound and compulsions that made her feel mentally isolated, to her struggles to communicate after trauma and her battle with anxiety. It includes some observations on life and the lessons she has learned from pain – but whether she takes her own advice is another story ... This book covers: ~ Anxiety ~ Disordered eating ~ The destructive nature of fear ~ Comparison in the age of social media ~ Identity ~ A new take on shyness ~ Dating ~ Growing up with red hair ~ Transformation ~ Panicking ~ Chronic skin conditions ~ Trichotillomania and dermatillomania ~ An (OVER) organised mind … and much more. It is broken up into two parts, with the first part written in late 2019, and the second during the summer of 2020, and how the events of that year affected one thirty-something woman trying to navigate it all. She is not an expert on life – she is a mess.

The Return of the Circuit Rider
Author: David Robert Hinshaw
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1456711865
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 126
Book Description
In the process of writing two short collections of light hearted material, (one published and one yet to be published), the author became acutely aware that he could not continue forward without addressing what he considered to be the most important issues of human existence. All of us have asked ourselves the questions, "What is the meaning of life" and "Why am I here"? Some have rejected the idea of an eternal soul, some are undecided, while others are largely unconcerned, but the author has chosen to embrace the concept and run with it. He believes there is a single overriding mission for every individual alive today. The sole purpose of this life is to prepare for the next one, and every person has been given the ability to control his own destiny. When compared to eternity, our lives are like a single knot in a rope that stretches around the world. From the foundation of the earth, a plan has been in place to allow humanity to share the wonders of eternity with the Creator of all things. Those who follow that plan will be rewarded accordingly, while those who prefer to separate themselves from the influence of a Higher Power, will be granted their wish in eternity. If this book convinces one person to follow the plan that leads to redemption, then it will have been well worth the effort.
