＜p＞＜strong＞What if God lied?＜/strong＞＜br /＞ ＜strong＞What if the serpent told the truth?＜/strong＞＜br /＞ ＜strong＞What if the story you were told in Sunday school… was the greatest cover-up in human history?＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞They said sin would damn you.＜br /＞ They said obedience would save you.＜br /＞ But what if obedience was the real prison… and sin was the doorway to freedom?＜/p＞ ＜p＞They told you to kneel in fear.＜br /＞ To worship in shame.＜br /＞ To bury your desire and call it holy.＜br /＞ But what if holiness was never about chainsーwhat if it was about fire?＜br /＞ The fire of awakening.＜br /＞ The fire of love without walls.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞＜strong＞Zen & Sin＜/strong＞＜/em＞ isn't here to comfort the faithfulーit's here to disturb the comfortable. 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。

＜p＞＜strong＞“Hitchens presents a George Orwell fit for the twenty-first century.”ー＜em＞The Boston Globe＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞In this widely acclaimed biographical essay, the masterful polemicist Christopher Hitchens assesses the life, the achievements, and the myth of the great political writer and participant George Orwell. True to his contrarian style, Hitchens is both admiring and aggressive, sympathetic yet critical, taking true measure of his subject as hero and problem. Answering both the detractors and the false claimants, Hitchens tears down the fa?ade of sainthood erected by the hagiographers and rebuts the critics point by point. He examines Orwell and his perspectives on fascism, empire, feminism, and Englishness, as well as his outlook on America, a country and culture toward which he exhibited much ambivalence. Whether thinking about empires or dictators, race or class, nationalism or popular culture, Orwell's moral outlook remains indispensable in a world that has undergone vast changes in the seven decades since his death. Combining the best of Hitchens' polemical punch and intellectual elegance in a tightly woven and subtle argument, this book addresses not only why Orwell matters today, but how he will continue to matter in a future, uncertain world.＜/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＞Lauren's Creed Wings to Fly is a story of what can be achieved when one dares to believe in one's child.＜br /＞ Lauren Winbanks is an inspirational young person living with Autism and Intellectual Disability.＜br /＞ On the second day of grade prep, Lauren’s parents were “counselled” by the local school to avoid holding any expectations of their daughter who, because of her significant special needs, would “amount to nothing”.＜br /＞ With a twin brother, Matthew, to factor into such a heart wrenching decision it was never going to be an easy road to travel. Indeed, it was akin to riding a rollercoaster of emotion, blood, sweat and tears!＜br /＞ This is the story of a family forced to ride the rollercoaster that is disability. Somehow, Lauren’s mother Dianne (with the support husband Jeff) had to find the resolve to remain true to one’s convictions in the face of the overwhelmingly loud, negative voices ‘lowering the bar’ on young Lauren.＜br /＞ This story is about believing, about setting a child up to succeed and what is possible when those working with a special young person like Lauren, put all their energy into working together collaboratively.＜br /＞ Importantly, this book is a powerful statement, which Dianne refers to as “Lauren’s Creed” - based on all that the Winbanks family learnt to be true as a result of an incredibly tough journey. To this end, Lauren’s Creed Wings to Fly is filled with useful, practical, easy to implement support strategies that make it a must read for anyone working with a child with special needs.＜br /＞ Lauren has made a habit out of proving the doubters wrong. In doing so, young Lauren and mother Dianne challenge all to re-frame how we support the disabled. The success story that is Lauren Winbanks will challenge, provoke and inspire. Lauren’s Creed Wings to Fly will move the reader to share the vision of a world where Lauren is not the exception but the norm!＜/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。

Bury Grammar School (Girls) Magazine, 1967＜/p＞ ＜p＞In her passport Victoria Wood listed her occupation as 'entertainer' - and in stand-up and sketches, songs and sitcom, musicals and dramas, she became the greatest entertainer of the age. Those things that might have held her back - her lonely childhood, her crippling shyness and above all the disadvantage of being a woman in a male-run industry - she turned to her advantage to make extraordinary comedy about ordinary people living ordinary lives in ordinary bodies. She wasn't fond of the term, but Victoria Wood truly was a national treasure - and her loss is still keenly felt.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Victoria had plenty of stories still to tell when she died in 2016, and one of those was her own autobiography. 'I will do it one day,' she told the author and journalist Jasper Rees. 'It would be about my childhood, about my first few years in showbusiness, which were really interesting and would make a really nice story.'＜/p＞ ＜p＞That sadly never came to pass, so Victoria's estate has asked Jasper Rees, who interviewed her more than anyone else, to tell her extraordinary story in full.
