【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Helping Grieving People - When Tears Are Not Enough A Handbook for Care Providers【電子書籍】[ J. Shep Jeffreys ]

＜p＞＜em＞Helping Grieving People ? When Tears Are Not Enough＜/em＞ is a handbook for care providers who provide service, support and counseling to those grieving death, illness, and other losses. This book is also an excellent text for academic courses as well as for staff development training. The author addresses grief as it affects a variety of relationships and discusses different intervention and support strategies, always cognizant of individual and cultural differences in the expression and treatment of grief. Jeffreys has established a practical approach to preparing grief care providers through three basic tracks. The first track: ＜em＞Heart ?＜/em＞ calls for self-discovery, freeing oneself of accumulated loss in order to focus all attention on the griever. Second track: ＜em＞Head ?＜/em＞ emphasizes understanding the complex and dynamic phenomena of human grief. Third track: ＜em＞Hands ?＜/em＞ stresses the caregiver's actual intervention, and speaks to lay and professional levels of skill, as well as the various approaches for healing available. Accompanying these three motifs, the ＜em＞Handbook＜/em＞ discusses the social and cultural contexts of grief as applied to various populations of grievers as well as the underlying psychological basis of human grief. Throughout the book, Jeffreys presents the role of the caregiver as an Exquisite Witness to the journey of grief and pain of bereaved family and friends, and also to the path taken by dying persons and their families. The second edition of ＜em＞Helping Grieving People＜/em＞ remains true to the approach that has been so well received in the original volume. It includes updated research findings and addresses new information and developments in the field of loss, grief and bereavement.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞＜strong＞Everything You Know About the Constitution Is Wrong＜/strong＞＜br /＞ Uncover the shocking truth about the Constitution's original intentーand how nearly everything Americans believe about it today is wrong.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In ＜em＞Money and Liberty: How the Framers' Obsession with Protecting Your Money Shaped the Constitution＜/em＞, seasoned journalist and speechwriter Rick Lynch tears down the myths of modern constitutional thinking to expose a stunning truth ignored in political history books: The U.S. Constitution was built first and foremost to protect your moneyーnot just your speech, your religion, or your guns. Your propertyーyour paycheckーwas the sacred right the Framers most feared the government would steal.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Drawing from the Federalist Papers, Convention records, and the Framers' own words, Lynch presents a bold, evidence-rich reinterpretation of our nation's founding. Diving into the very foundation of American democracy, ＜em＞Money and Liberty＜/em＞ delivers a thunderclap of clarity and reveals the real meaning of the Constitution. Learn why the Framers rejected the Bill of Rights, how they saw money as a sacred right, and why they believed economic freedomーnot freedom of speech or religionーwas the cornerstone of liberty.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Inside, you'll discover:＜/p＞ ＜ul＞ ＜li＞Why the Bill of Rights was rejected as a "preposterous" and "dangerous" idea.＜/li＞ ＜li＞How the Framers equated money and freedom with divine law.＜/li＞ ＜li＞Why money and property are mentioned in the Federalist Papers 17 times more often than speech, press, and religion combined.＜/li＞ ＜li＞How a welfare program led to the Constitutional Convention.＜/li＞ ＜li＞Why protecting property rights was not only the heart of the Constitutionーbut the key to true liberty.＜/li＞ ＜/ul＞ ＜p＞This is more than constitutional interpretationーit's a call to reclaim your most overlooked freedom: the right to your own money. If you've ever wondered how we got so far off course, ＜em＞Money and Liberty＜/em＞ delivers a history lesson on the United States government and American freedom you won't be able to forget.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Apologize to the President, the Minister, and the Public; Kidnapped for the Truth ? The Healer They Couldn’t Silence【電子書籍】[ Khokhovula Gundabaloyi ]

＜p＞In a land where truth is dangerous, one healer's voice became too loud to ignore. Khokhovula Gundabaloyi, a respected traditional healer, spiritual teacher, and outspoken critic of corruption, found himself in the crosshairs of forces far greater than himself. His healing hands and fearless words had helped thousands ー but they also uncovered truths that powerful men wanted buried. His teachings challenged greed, his voice disturbed the comfortable, and his presence inspired the oppressed to rise against silence.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Then came the day that would change everything. Surrounded by eight armed men wielding rifles, Khokhovula was forced from his vehicle ー a Range Rover that symbolized both his success and his target status. Cameras rolled as his captors, faces hidden behind masks, staged his humiliation for the world to see. Their mission was simple: silence the healer, break his spirit, and make him apologize to the President, the Minister, and the public for daring to speak the truth.＜/p＞ ＜p＞But they underestimated him. His strength came not from politics or wealth, but from the ancestors ー from a spiritual calling rooted deeper than fear itself. Inside this gripping true account, you will walk through the tense hours of his abduction, feel the cold steel of rifles aimed at his chest, and hear the steady inner dialogue of a man weighing every word and movement in a fight for his life. You will understand the heavy silence between threats, the subtle calculations for survival, and the unwavering voice that kept speaking even when silence might have been safer.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Through vivid detail and raw honesty, Khokhovula takes you behind closed doors where intimidation and negotiation blurred into one. He reveals the untold truths of the threats, the psychological pressure, and the unseen spiritual warfare that raged during those critical moments. You will witness how ancestral wisdom guided him when modern power sought to erase him ー how the whispers of the elders, the rhythm of sacred chants, and the unseen force of spirit became his shield.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This is more than a personal memoir ー it is a mirror to a nation's soul. It challenges you to ask: How far will those in power go to protect their lies? How far will truth-tellers go to protect their integrity? And what happens when the one they try to silence refuses to bow? It forces an uncomfortable truth into the open: that the fight for justice often comes with a price, and sometimes that price is one's freedom, safety, or even life itself.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Apologize to the President, the Minister, and the Public is an unflinching testament to courage under fire. It is a rallying cry for every voice that has been muted, every whistleblower who has felt the shadow of retribution, and every believer who knows that truth, no matter how dangerous, must be spoken. It is a book that tears away the polished mask of political power to reveal the fear it holds for those who cannot be bought or silenced.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book is for those who understand that freedom of speech is not merely a political right, but a sacred duty. It is for the spiritually aware, the politically conscious, and the seekers of justice who know that silence can be more dangerous than words. It is for anyone who has stood in the storm, knowing the lightning may strike, yet refusing to move.＜/p＞ ＜p＞You will come away with more than just a story ー you will carry a reminder that even in the face of rifles, truth can roar louder than bullets. That once the spirit of courage is awakened, it cannot be chained. That a single voice, rooted in conviction, can shake the foundations of fear itself.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Sometimes the Soul【電子書籍】[ Gioia Timpanelli ]

＜p＞＜strong＞Hauntingly beautiful fiction about two women, solitude, art, and transformation.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞For years, Gioia Timpanelli has held audiences rapt with her retellings of ancient tales, often appearing with Robert Bly, James Hillman, Joseph Campbell, and Gary Snyder. Here, in fiction full of warmth and resonances--characters we can't help but recognize, prose and imagery that play on the strings of the soul--Timpanelli draws on her deep knowledge of these old stories and their wisdoms to create a new and refreshing kind of storytelling, with hints of both Italo Calvino and Angela Carter. In "A Knot of Tears," a woman's locked-up life is transformed by a parrot who tells tales; her story becomes a subtle and surprising meditation on the necessity of being true to oneself and others. In "Rusina, Not Quite in Love," a strange and lovely retelling of the story of the Beauty and the Beast, a young woman escapes family and society--especially the grasp of her superficial and beastly sisters--to find consolation and beauty in nature and its muse. In each case, women of very different backgrounds--one aristocratic, one impoverished--find solitary spaces from which they can emerge as artists and shapers of their own destinies. With a sense of character unusual in contemporary fiction (not mere personality, but moral character) and a gentle, lyric touch, Timpanelli blends the seeming simplicity of folktale with a richly textured understanding of human nature. With great integrity and affection for language, her work teaches about love and solitude, honesty and art.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞My name is Amani Saqer. I was born and raised in Gaza, Palestine. I'm 37 years old, mother to four beautiful children, and a widow. My beloved husband was martyred a year ago. He was my partner in life, in love, in faith and in hope. His loss left a silence in our house that words can never quite fill. It is for him, and through him, that I write this book.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This cookbook is more than a collection of recipes - it is a legacy, a memory and a prayer. Each dish within these pages was once shared with family, neighbours and friends. They were made with the little we had, seasoned with laughter, sometimes with tears, and always with love. These are the meals that told our story when there was no time for words. And now, in these difficult times of scarcity and loss, I hold on to them like one holds on to a photograph - a reminder of what was once, and a hope for what may come again.＜/p＞ ＜p＞There have been many days when I could not cook these recipes. Not because I had forgotten them - no, they are etched in my hands and heart - but because the ingredients simply weren't there. War, famine and grief stole so much from us, but they could not take away the memory of flavour, the rhythm of preparation or the dignity of a meal made for those you love.＜/p＞ ＜p＞I write this not only as a tribute to my husband, but also as a gift to my children - and to you. I want to make sure that if anything should happen to me, there will be something left behind. Something true. Something warm. Something human.

It tears the veil off the oldest lies, burns the cage of fear, and whispers a forbidden truth: ＜strong＞religion ends, consciousness begins.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞This is not a book for the timid. It is a manifesto for rebels of the soul, seekers who would rather face the serpent's truth than choke on the church's silence. Those who dare to partake of the forbidden fruit without shame are the ones who discover true freedom, true wholeness, and true peace.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Rooted in scripture, mysticism, psychology, and philosophy, ＜em＞Zen & Sin＜/em＞ dismantles the illusions of law, sacrifice, judgment, and guiltーillusions that have enslaved humanity for centuries under the Piscean Age of fear and control. In their place, it offers a radical vision of liberation for the dawning Age of Aquarius: a consciousness that embraces both light and darkness, vice and virtue, Zen and sin, not as enemies but as partners in awakening.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Through the ＜strong＞Scrolls＜/strong＞, you will uncover the myths of morality, the tyranny of obedience, and the false idols of religion that chained humanity to shame. Through the ＜strong＞Reflections＜/strong＞, you will receive the wisdom of compassion, forgiveness, pleasure, power, and balanceーpractical paths to live freely, authentically, and consciously in a world ready to be reborn.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞＜strong＞Zen & Sin＜/strong＞＜/em＞ is a dangerous book because it dares to tell the truth: that what we were taught as sin may in fact be the spark of divinity within us, and that what we were told was holy has often been the cloak of oppression. It is a call to leave behind the age of fear and step boldly into the age of freedom.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The Age of Pisces is over.＜br /＞ The Age of Aquarius has begun.＜br /＞ The revolution of consciousness has arrived.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Getting Back On Track Using Megapotency Homeopathy【電子書籍】[ jill R Turland ]

＜p＞This is a book that is going to rock you back on your heels and get you thinking along new lines. It will enable you to lift up your life and get free of social conditioning that has been crippling us all for thousands of years. In addition, the book will show you how many of the complications to health brought about by medical procedures and drugs over the last century, based on false understandings, can be resolved. Ten common homeopathic remedies in very high (mega) potencies, can release commonly stored emotions, attitudes and false beliefs, thus allowing the body to heal itself of a wide range of physical complaints. Read what these crippling beliefs are, how they have allowed us to be led along, like lambs to the slaughter, by the nose, into a cul-de-sac of personal, social and medical ignorance - and what you can do to get your life back on track. Healing your emotions, freeing yourself of your accumulated emotional baggage and getting your life on track, is not traumatic, not a slow process, does not require intense investigation into your childhood nor the re-experiencing of harrow traumas. It does not require hours or years of counselling, psychology, hypnosis, auto-suggestion, religious conversion, past-life therapy, meditation, vegetarianism, self-analysis, relationship analysis, praying, New Year resolutions, will-power, months in the wilderness or sailing singlehanded around the world. Getting Back on Track shows you the true healing. Not the way to unrestrained, detrimental emotions, not the way to violent outbursts of anger or floods of tears of grief, not the way to guilt-free irresponsibility. None of these is healthy, either. What you will get is personal growth, so that new insight gives you freedom from anger, freedom from grief, freedom from guilt, freedom from fear, and with this freedom, a new strength to take positive steps towards your own, and therefore planetary healing.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Some Like It Rough【電子書籍】[ Nicola Nichols ]

＜p＞Not everyone likes their sex rough, but if you do, there's really no substitute for a wild party.＜/p＞ ＜p＞It's slow season on the island and Nancy is bored, hot, and horny. Her husband is on a sailboat delivery to Florida. Even when he's around, he's hardly the social type.＜/p＞ ＜p＞She's heard tantalizing tales about the wild parties at the beach house. When a guy she meets at the marina comes onto her, she lets him take her on the dining table of a catamaran.＜/p＞ ＜p＞From there it's a small step to a party at the beach house with his friends, where there aren't many rules, and the sex is a free-for-all.＜/p＞ ＜p＞A story of cheating with multiple partners.＜/p＞ ＜p＞~~~~~ Excerpt ~~~~~＜/p＞ ＜p＞Nancy walked slowly down the beach enjoying the way the cool damp sand squished between her toes and the way the early morning light warmed her bare legs. She wasn't in any rush to get anywhere. It was the slow season in the tropics and when she got to the marina, there wasn't any real chance anything was happening. Her husband, Phil, had gone up to Florida to deliver a yacht and left her there. Even the cruise ships had cut back on stopovers at the island. Several of the restaurants had closed down. Lots of the island people headed for Europe or the US.＜/p＞ ＜p＞That meant there was almost nothing to do, and she had the slow-season blues.＜/p＞ ＜p＞When walked reluctantly up from the beach to the marina she saw Bill. He stood with his back to her, staring out to sea. He worked on the boats, like Phil, and he had the sun-darkened skin of someone who spends lots of time outside. He wasn't particularly good looking, not handsome, but he was well built and seeing him bare-chested, wearing nothing but shorts gave her a boost. The sight of him turned her on, making her pussy tingle. She couldn't resist looking at his crotch and speculating on whether he was as well hung as she'd overheard some giggling tourist girls saying.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Her sudden lust for Bill was silly. She didn't even know him well, in fact mostly when she saw him he was talking to tourist girlsーhitting them up. Lots of the guys who worked around the marina preferred the tourist girls to locals. That made sense. They tended to have moneyーthis wasn't a cheap backpacker destination, and they'd come to the island to have a good time. Naturally, guys like Bill were happy to oblige and she couldn't blame them. When the vacation was over the girls left with a few tears and farewell promises that never meant anything.＜/p＞ ＜p＞She knew that Bill was part of the Beach House Gang. That was the name locals had given to a group who rented a house on one of the small beaches a short distance away from town. The story was that it was a place, the place, for wild parties. She'd heard that things could get very wild and that sometimes it wound up being rough group sex.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Nancy had often wondered if the stories were true or amped up to impress other people. She'd never been thereーit wasn't exactly the kind of crowd that Phil went for. He wasn't much for parties whether they were wild or tame. He was never rough with her and the longer she was married the more the idea of being in the center of a bunch of hot people, who liked to play hard seemed like a sexual fantasy. With Phil gone, she found herself indulging in fantasies. In one of them, she was invited to a party and grabbed by a couple of eager studs who screwed her in multiple ways.＜/p＞ ＜p＞But that was a fantasy. She expected that the reality would be a letdown. Things like that often were. But part of her wondered what that might be like. She wasn't getting younger, and it seemed unlikely she'd get to know firsthand.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Beginning in rural Brazil during the Great Depression this Odyssey ends in 1975 on a broken-down ＜em＞chaise longue＜/em＞ in front of a trailer in Miami. Two of the three "books" that make up the novel involve heroic journeys ? a twelve-year-old girl seeking safety, a fourteen-year-old boy searching for land free from drought.

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Ink and Obedience【電子書籍】[ Valery Ferell ]

＜p＞In the heart of Tokyo's relentless neon glow, where ancient traditions clash with hidden desires, Ren Takahashi wields his brush with perfectionist's precision. A third-generation calligrapher, his life is a canvas of restraintーmonochrome, controlled, unyielding. But beneath the flawless strokes lies a quiet ache for something more visceral, more alive.One stormy evening, fate draws him to an unmarked door in a Shibuya alley: Velvet Sanctuary, an opulent BDSM haven veiled in secrecy. Amid velvet drapes and flickering candlelight, he meets Kiyomi Sudaーa statuesque enigma, art curator by day, revered dominatrix by night. Her dark eyes pierce his defenses, sensing the hunger he conceals. With elegant command, she offers him a path to liberation: surrender not as defeat, but as the ultimate act of creation.Their private rituals unfold like living calligraphy. Silk ropes trace patterns across his skin, echoing the flow of ink on rice paper. Kiyomi's whispered directives demand trust, unraveling Ren's guarded heart stroke by stroke. He learns that obedience is not weakness, but a bold expressionーmirroring the artistic breakthroughs that transform his once-rigid work into something raw, emotive, transcendent.Yet Kiyomi harbors her own shadows. Behind her poised dominance lies a woman who wields control to shield vulnerability, fearing the intimacy she craves. As Ren kneels before her, offering his body and soul, she confronts the risk of true connection. Their dynamic evolves, blurring lines between command and caress, mentor and equal. In moments of aftercare, tears mingle with laughter, forging a bond where power is shared, not seized.From rain-slicked streets to rooftop gardens under starlit skies, their journey weaves through Tokyo's dual worlds: the serene tatami studios scented with sumi ink, and the club's gilded chambers humming with anticipation. Supporting them are loyal friendsーAkira, the chaotic artist urging Ren to embrace chaos; Naoko, the wise manager safeguarding the Sanctuary's ethos; Daichi, Kiyomi's protective brother, witnessing her softening resolve.Challenges arise: family judgments question Ren's 'debasement,' curatorial pressures test Kiyomi's facade. But in each negotiated boundary, each cathartic release, they discover harmony. Surrender becomes empowerment, art becomes intimacy, and two solitary souls paint a masterpiece of mutual devotion.Ink and Obedience is a lush, emotionally charged erotic romance celebrating consensual power exchange. Through sensory-rich prose, it explores themes of vulnerability, self-expression, and love's transformative brushstrokesーinviting readers to surrender to its seductive rhythm.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】A Guest of a Hated Life【電子書籍】[ Shafi Zaman ]

＜p＞This is not a story of grand tragedies or cinematic villains. It is a haunting portrait of an ordinary man's unraveling life that glittered with promise, only to be dismantled by the quiet violence of betrayal.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Most stories dissolve like sugar in teaーsweetness remembered, details blurred. But this one? It unspools. When you turn these pages, the words will flicker to life like a film reel in an old projector: scenes so vivid they stain your eyelids. You'll laugh until it claws at your ribs, then feel joy rise like a feverーbright, reckless, temporary. Saltwater will trail down your cheeks before you realize you've begun mourning the hero's choices.＜/p＞ ＜p＞And the endingーIt won't just end. It will arrest you. A frozen moment where your breath syncs to the silence between sentences, where the world narrows to the weight of what's unsaid. You might not cry. But days later, in the quiet of an elevator or the glow of a midnight screen, you'll feel the ghost of his shattered heart curl up beside yours. This isn't a story you read. It's one you haunt.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The story's hero was a man of dreams-raised with values, driven by ambition, and devoted to love. He built a life with sincerity, faced the world with courage, and gave everything to his family. But when the storms came, they came from within-through the woman he loved most, the people he trusted deeply, and the life he worked so hard to build.＜/p＞ ＜p＞A man lived a life that mirrored perfection: a golden boyhood steeped in curiosity, academic laurels earned with effortless charm, and a career that bloomed under the warmth of respect. He married his bright-eyed junior colleague, and their early years were a tapestry of shared laughter and ambition. Together, they built a lifeーhomes, investments, a familyーanchored in trust. The man called her "Black Diamond," a loving name. But when storms struckーprofessional collapse, financial ruin-Black Diamond love curdled into cunning. Properties bought with his blood and sweat, but legally in his wife's name, vanished like smoke. Theyーa doctor, an engineer, and a college studentーbecame pawns in her whispered campaign of lies, her mastery of emotional alchemy turning their adoration for him into ash.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Now, he walks the ruins of his own life. A man who once commanded boardrooms now sits in the dim glow of a solitary lamp, parsing old photographs of a family that no longer sees him. His son, saving lives＜/p＞ ＜p＞in a distant hospital, believes him a failure. His daughters, groomed for brilliance, dismiss him as a relic. Black Diamond, triumphant in her new life, demands he vacate the home he built. Yet the man's silence is not surrender-it is sacrifice. He swallows his truth, day after day, to spare his children the shrapnel of their mother's deceit.＜/p＞ ＜p＞"＜strong＞A Guest of a Hated Life"＜/strong＞ is a searing true story that dissects the anatomy of betrayal-not with knives, but with the slow poison of manipulation. It lays bare the cost of "honor" in a society that worships maternal sanctity, where a father's love is dismissed as irrelevant. This is a story of truth, pain, and survivalーand of a soul who still stands, even when everything else falls apart. This is not just a life＜/p＞ ＜p＞A storyーit's a life lesson written in tears and truth. "The Silent Compass "forces us to confront uncomfortable questions: How well do we truly know our parents?
