【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！】Because of You, I Learned to Truly Love【電子書籍】[ Abdul Haque Essop ]

＜p＞Love is not just about using the word to silence your partner in questioning any uncertainties or great concerns. But love should be shown in your actions to eliminate every doubt. It is not about giving your partner the most expensive gift that money can buy. But it has to do with the littlest of things thus showing your love for them, which becomes priceless. Ultimately, love has no price tag because money can buy you a good time, but love enriches your body, mind, heart, and soul. For a healthy relationship, refrain from hurting your partner in a manner whereby lying and cheating can totally destroy your relationship. Always remember not to hurt and break a heart that was meant to only love you. In the end, you can stand to lose that love and the person who stood by you, although they know your flaws and still completely accepted you. It is important to note that you shouldnt fool yourself by thinking that you have fooled a person by deceiving and lying to that person who truly loves you and cares about you. Only with time will it be your own guilt that will make you realize that this person always knew, and yet they have constantly forgiven you. Finally, you will certainly hurt when the day you lose that person forever by knowing that you continuously broke their trust. Take heed. When you love from your soul and someone breaks you down completely then those invisible tears become the most difficult to wipe away. To sum up my message to the world, this is my deepest and sincerest belief: Love is not who loves the other more or less but to whether your love for each other is sincere and true. Love is not who was there only when you always smiled but who was there to make you feel better when you broke down and cried. Love is not about who is right or wrong but how you work on the issues and keep your love growing strong. Love is not how many times you thought to walk away but how long you stayed in love and kept your relationship alive.＜/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！】Blessed Be An Autobiography and Christian Testimony【電子書籍】[ Julia Wells ]

＜p＞Blessed Be, is a true story and Christian testimony of (Judy Ann) Julia Wells. Julia is a hard working wife, mother, and grandmother. She commutes eighty miles round trip to her job at a Gottschalk's Department Store, in Carson City, Nevada. Her story begins with the introductionexplaining how Roger, her husband of 30 years, has been diagnosed with cancer, and how the Lord put it on Julia's heart to write this book. The story then reflects back to her childhood, and family background. It tells of a small girl's insecurities. Her story is one of abandonment, abuse, molestation and losses. This is a fast paced story that gives you reason to laugh while rubbing the tears from your eyes. Julias story goes on to tell of her love for music, which gives her the courage to write to Elvis Presley about what is happening in her life. It tells how Elvis became personally involved. She explains how she continued to look for love and acceptance in all the wrong places. While looking for her father, or a father like image, the Lord was knocking on the door to her heart. It tells a common story of finding God, then taking Him for granted. Putting the Lord on a shelf like an old used Bible to collect dust and only praying, or asking, Why me? when problems occur in her life. When Julia learned that she was a co-dependent, and was fighting with depression, the Lord knocks her feet out from under her. That is when He spoke to her saying, I picked you up and I carried you. I am with you and I forgive you. The Lord continued to work miracles in Julia's life, by healing her of cancer. The Lord gave her the strength and faith to make it through four deaths in twenty-one days, while having oral surgery and living in a tent-trailer with no running water. If that wasn't enough, He sent a guardian angel to protect her from an impending auto accident and the blessings continued. So many things happened in Julia's life that almost anyone can relate to some part of her stay. It's a must read for anyone who has suffered from childhood abuse, molestation, dependency or codependency. Julia is a member of Al-Anon; she has been an Al-Ateen sponsor. She has been a Sunday school teacher. Julia's greatest blessing is the love of her Father, God; and her family. This book has song lyrics and scriptures that work with her story or chapters. There are poems that Julia wrote during the times of which she's telling you about in her book. And of course there is that testimony and witness that her prayers will reach the people to whom the Lord has intended.＜/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！】Applied Freedom【電子書籍】[ Nikolay Boychev ]

＜p＞Book Review＜br /＞ Reviewed by John Witcher for Readers' Favorite＜/p＞ ＜p＞The poems in Applied Freedom help sustain the fact that we are all human. From the gentle breath of "Crying Tears" to the passion of "Romantic Discovery," Mr. Boychev shows that emotions have an effect on everyone. As much as humans would like to believe that we can shut off our emotional lives, Mr. Boychev reminds us that we are helplessly human. "Savior in Canvas" really brought out my emotions. A blank canvas has so much potential. As metaphoric colors are added, emotions and meanings change. Every poem in this book affected me in a different manner. The poetry contains such raw emotion and passion in every word. Applied Freedom takes a true look at the meaning of life by sharing in human feelings.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Applied Freedom is a compelling poetry book. Nikolay Boychev is an intelligent and forward thinking poet. A novelist has hundreds of pages to create emotion. A poet must create this emotion in a matter of breaths. The raw emotion conveyed in the struggles we find in human nature shape our society. Mr. Boychev proves that we all share in these emotions. This is a unique collection of poetry. Each of the poems, though different in scope, creates a great complement to each poem that precedes it. I have been told that art and literature define a society. I think that Applied Freedom proves this fact in an elegant manner.＜/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＞Set in Liverpool, this 112,000 word-epic will break and warm your heart as Jess Welsby takes you on a nostalgic, soul-searching journey to find her mysterious roots. Little did she know, that the family secrets she would uncover would make the hairs on the back of her neck stand on end, when, after a 20-year search to find information about a father who had been nothing more than an ink blot on her birth certificate, she discovered that those roots appear to have been buried deep within her subconscious all along. As Jess traces the lives of her small, Catholic family through the Great War, the Great Depression and Second World War, within the pages of her first book, she pays homage to the generations who fought in two world wars, but were given little support from the country that they fought for and were often forced to rely on charity in the form of the workhouse. Jess gives a heart-rending account of her mother's struggles with religious intolerance and the stigma that having an illegitimate child carried in the 1950s. Then, she quickly dries your tears with side-splitting anecdotes that could only happen in Liverpool. With a website following that accumulated close to 300,000 hits, a full-page colour feature in the Liverpool Echo and a full-page of reviews, this true story is an amazing detailed account of amateur teamwork and is a must-read, not only for anyone in search of their unknown mother or father, but for everyone whether interested in family history or just an inspiring, feel-good story. With help from strangers across the world, the truth slowly unfolds from an unmarked grave in a London, Jewish cemetery to reveal the father who had been cloaked in a veil of mystery for almost sixty years.＜/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＞"These two extraordinary Zen Teachers offer a cutting-edge immersion into the koans of our actual lives, issue by issue, urging us to plunge in, and be intimate with what actually is, in this very moment. Flowing beneath the surface of these contemporary koans is an ocean of traditional koans and old Buddhist stories and themes, all intermingled with the immediacy of contemporary life. A guaranteed American Zen classic!" ーRoshi Pat Enkyo O'Hara, author of ＜em＞Most Intimate: A Zen Approach to Life's Challenges＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞"Radical, useful, and wild, this rich collection of householder koans opens a treasure house of wisdom for all. What a wonderful adventure in the practical mind and heart of true Zen and true life." ーRev. Joan Jiko Halifax, Abbot of Upaya Zen Center＜/p＞ ＜p＞“In ＜em＞The Book of Householder Koans＜/em＞ Nakao and Marko wonderfully carry into contemporary life the spirit and color of the zen koan tradition in all its mystery and brazennessーand, at the same time, provide a wonderfully wise, knowing, and light-hearted look at how we can live this one precious unrepeatable human life in beauty. The koan stories they provide (submitted by many of their students) are pithy, funny, and perfectly apt for the times we live in. What a lively book!” ーNorman Fischer, poet, Zen priest, and author most recently of ＜em＞The World Could Be Otherwise: Imagination and the Bodhisattva Path＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞“I was blown away by the force of ＜em＞The Book of Householder Koans＜/em＞ as it establishes Western Zen as a new center of enlightenment. Roshis Myonen Eve Marko and Egyoku Wendy Nakao present Zen koans, exquisitely digested from everyday life, that retain the ancient and authentic power to stop you in your tracks while they beckon you onward. Read this book, emerging from two female Zen masters’ lifetimes of practice, and enter an intimate world that opens your awareness in relationship, work, and current worldly puzzles.” ーGrace Schireson, author of ＜em＞Wild-Ass Zen＜/em＞, ＜em＞Enlightenment Wherever You Are＜/em＞, ＜em＞Zen Women: Beyond Tea Ladies, Iron Maidens and Macho Maters＜/em＞, and ＜em＞Naked in the Zendo: Stories of Uptight Zen＜/em＞, and editor of ＜em＞Zen Bridge: The Zen Teachings of Keido Fukushima＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞“In this wonderful collection, Eve Myonen Marko and Wendy Egyoku Nakao write that Zen is about letting go of our fixed opinions. One opinion about Zen, when it came to this country, is that it is for monks and priests who live in monasteries or as hermits. In fact, most Zen students nowadays are householders who have issues that are different from those of our ancestor monks in China. The training for priests cannot be the same as the training for householders. Householders’ lives are messy. Roshis Eve and Wendy use the ancient wisdom of Zen to illuminate modern-day practice. Their insight and compassion have provided us with an important collection of koan stories that illustrate how Zen can bring deep insight to all meditators, whether householders, the homeless, women, men, or even ordained priests.” ーRoshi Gerry Shishin Wick, spiritual director of Great Mountain Zen Center, and author of ＜em＞The Book of Equanimity: Illuminating Classic Zen Koans＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞“The only real Zen is the Zen of our actual lived lives. Zen’s koans are stories that take us to where we really live, that show us who we are when we let go of the false stories we’ve been trapped within. The collections of these true stories, which open our hearts, started in China. And China gave us many that we cherish to this day. Others come from Korea and Vietnam and Japan. And now, in ＜em＞The Book of Householder Koans＜/em＞, we are given a selection collected from four Western countries by two preeminent American Zen masters. And this is real Zen. These are the true stories of who we have always been from before the creation of the stars and planets. This is Zen made out of our bones and marrow, our tears and laughter. This amazing book is one of a handful written in this time that will be recalled as classics of our way. If you’ve never practiced Zen, read this book. If Zen has been your way for 40 years, read this book. It opens our way and reminds us of where to find it. The Book of Householder Koans is a direct pointing to our heart’s longing. True stories.” ーJames Ishmael Ford, author of ＜em＞Introduction to Zen Koans＜/em＞ and ＜em＞If You're Lucky, Your Heart Will Break＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞“＜em＞The Book of Householder Koans＜/em＞ is like a sumptuous feast. The teachings, deep-rooted in Zen practice, bring to the table all the ingredients of our life, including heartbreak, fury, and joy. This book shows us that in each moment there is an opportunity to enter a gate to wakefulness, receptivity, and love. Savor each morsel!”ーSensei Koshin Paley Ellison, author of ＜em＞Wholehearted: Slow Down, Help Out, Wake Up＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞“＜em＞The Book of Householder Koans＜/em＞ is a remarkable, inspiring, and ground-breaking book that revolutionizes the age-old tradition of Zen koan practice and plunges it right into the heart of our contemporary, 21st-century lives. As Zen teachers, authors Nakao and Marko have been deeply immersed for decades in the practice of life clarifying itself right in the midst of its most knotty challenges and confusions. Along with 66 new koans gathered from householders around the world, they offer their profound insight and expertise to help contemporary readers spring open even the most seemingly unresolvable of personal, modern dilemmas. Beautifully written with a life-affirming wisdom and spirit, this book will come to be a modern classic that helps us to live with a clarity, freedom, and joy beyond what we had imagined possible. Open the covers, take the plunge!” ーPeter Levitt, author of ＜em＞The Complete Cold Mountain: Poems of the Legendary Hermit Hanshan＜/em＞ and ＜em＞One Hundred Butterflies＜/em＞, and guiding teacher of Salt Spring Zen Circle in British Columbia＜/p＞ ＜p＞“A wonderful book on koan comparable with koan books from the Song Dynasty China. Wendy and Eve pull no punches in laying out Zen practice in daily life and the challenges we face in leading a full and inclusive life. In fact, they leave no places to escape to. They deal with everything: relationship, work, family, aging, addiction, emotion, and ambiguity, to mention but a few. I don’t usually read Zen books, yet this one had me riveted from page one. All they left me after reading, was to just do it.” ーRoshi Charles Tenshin Fletcher, abbot of Yokoji Zen Mountain Center and author of ＜em＞The Way of Zen＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞“I wish I’d been able to read the ＜em＞Book of Householders Koans＜/em＞ to help integrate practice with my everyday life when I started Zen training. This book is not only for householders, it’s for everyone. Using both the rich stories of ancient Zen masters and current everyday people, the authors explore the human journey: relationships, raising children, work, illness, old age, death, how to ground spiritual practice. This book is a guide for collective awakening, as if one were sitting in a circle with friends with everyone being heard fromーsharing their questions, dilemmas, learnings transparently and intimately. And from that sharing, the reader’s heart-mind-spirit is expanded through the common threads that unite us all, grounded in the everyday, no matter where we are in our life. The wisdom of these two Zen teachers, Egyoku Roshi and Myonen Roshi, is very accessible, encouraging and freeing. I highly recommend this bookーit’s a treasure trove, a true find!" ーNicolee Jikyo McMahon Roshi, marriage and family therapist＜/p＞ ＜p＞“This beautiful book is an important resource for Zen in our time. This collection opens our eyes to the koan of our life right now. Easy and fun to read, the householder koans are not just for Zen students, but relatable for all. Maezumi Roshi would encourage his students to study the ancient texts, and then he would say ‘I want you to create the modern Shobogenzo (Treasury of the True Dharma Eye).’ Reading the householder koans, I felt that I was encountering a fresh expression of true dharma that maintains the spiritual rigor of old texts. I love these new koans. I love how the layout is reminiscent of traditional koan presentation with verses and comments. And I love how relevant these koans are for our time. The authors are encouraging all of us to create our own householder koans, and I am finding myself seeing koan everywhere. It is a lot of fun and encourages me to see my whole life as spiritual practice. Congratulations to the authors for creating a seminal work.

＜p＞No Lookin' Back was brought to life early one Sunday morning in Tonkawa, Oklahoma, where the authors Ted and Linda Riddle lived. Ted sat straight up in bed and said, "I know how I died." That startled Linda, who was asleep next to him. His story flowed in such a way, it brought tears and laughter to her. She grabbed a yellow tablet and pencil and began writing. He did not slow down, so she could catch up. Soon she found a tape recorder and began recording this saga. Linda knew that this was not a dream. The tone of his voice was differentand even the dialect was strange, as Ted continued well into the morning. Later, when they both realized that this "gift", had to be published, Ted asked Linda to "add the sunsets and the eagles flying." She went to libraries as they traveled, even to Alaska twice, with their work and researched for facts for the book. She took pictures of locations where the story took place and drew illustrations. Names of their family members and friends were added, as the story developed. The story begins during the Civil War, when Thomas Jefferson Summers and his brother John, join the Union Army. As Ted continues with his tale, he even knows the name of his wife, children, places and events. He knows how he died, so that is the first chapter in the book. The journey takes Tom and the reader through many life-threatening adventures, at every turn. Based on facts from Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma Territory, Texas, Kansas and Colorado, and a timeline of early western history, you feel that you are living each moment.＜/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＞Loading in the environs of Barbara Bay, Cape Horn, I was surprised, with two companions, by the Patagonians, and made prisoner. I had the pain of witnessing from the cliffs the departure of the whaler on board of which I had entered at Havre as harpooner. It was with a deep pang of grief, and eyes bathed in tears, I saw the white sails of my ship disappear on the horizon, and the sea become solitary once more. I little suspected that the vessel I then saw for the last time was doomed to some terrible fate. Nothing was ever heard of her again. Two hours later, stripped of our clothes and tied by the wrists to the tails of Patagonian horses, we were carried off into the interior of the country. The Patagonians, with regard to whom travellers relate so many fables, are neither so gigantic nor so evil as generally represented. They are sturdily independent. The least yoke galls them, and rather than submit to the will of a chief, they rush off into exile, and submit to the most terrible privations. We were not ill-used by our captors, but I was at length alone. One of my companions went raving mad, the other committed suicide. I was kept alive, I believe, by the spirit of hope. I was twenty years of age, and had a constitution of iron, as well as a buoyancy of spirits, a boldness and firmness, which saved me from myself, by permitting me to look upon my position in its true light. Cruel as it was, it was far from being desperate. My first care was, by invariable complaisance, to secure the goodwill of the savages, in which I succeeded pretty well, more easily, indeed, than I should have dared to hope.＜/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＞Everything is contained inside and what is inside unfolds outside.＜br /＞ Everything outside is a mirror of what is contained inside.＜br /＞ This was shown to me by nature through the grain of sand, through the smallest seed, and through every drop of water.＜/p＞ ＜p＞An orange seed contains the whole orange.＜br /＞ There is no separate seed for orange roots, no separate seed for orange leaves and no separate seed for orange fruit.＜br /＞ The whole is contained in the smallest part, and what is outside it belongs to it.＜/p＞ ＜p＞A dear friend told me that the moment I realize simplicity, it will bring tears to my eyes.＜br /＞ And he was correct.＜br /＞ It is purity that can go unnoticed.＜br /＞ When I stopped for a moment and just became aware of what was always available to me, the wisdom of the heart, the true teacher.＜br /＞ Man creates by being a creator. He creates with every thought, word, and action.＜br /＞ But the most important thing for me is to create from feeling, the teacher that gently guided me towards my heart.＜br /＞ I am Gabriela Petrescu and I wanted to share this expression of mine with you.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The whole of one part and the entire part of the whole in Torab`s Story by Gabriela Petrescu.＜/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＞Here are the topics you can look forward to learning about on your personal journey through Wonderland in "Down the Rabbit Hole and Back: Stop Believing the Lies and Live Your Own Truth! Chapter 1 Down the Rabbit Hole: Where is the Exit Please? Here we will journey together down the rabbit hole to define what in the world has happened to you and how you woke up one day lost in Wonderland! We will discover your unique strengths and weaknesses and then continue on into the solution for you to live authentically and true to yourself. Chapter 2 Mad Hatter Thinking? How to Stop When Alice gets to the tea party it is all stuff and nonsense! Stinking Thinking is the tea flavor of the day and Alice is quite cross with her table mates. Learning what distortions are in your own head is half the battle to finding and living your truth. Black and White is an amazing clothing combination and a horrible way of boxing yourself into an either or dilemma that is easily side-stepped by asking yourself, what is my third choice? Learn more about these errors in thinking that we all do at some point or another and what you can do to think clearly. Chapter 3 A Pool of Tears: Will You Sink or Swim in Your Emotions? Alice is in a continual state of over growth and shrinking too small as she navigates Wonderland. I have been there too! Yelling to be heard, shrinking down within myself to hide and avoid uncomfortable emotions. Not having a voice or being too "loud" as a woman. Then I would get angry and lash out. Managing my own emotional reactivity was a MUST in order for me to learn to lift the heavy burden of labels and define my own truth. You can do it too! I teach you how in this chapter. Chapter 4 The Caucus-Race: Running in Addiction Circles While Chapter 1 & 2 really work on foundational skills the rest of the book starts to build upon these chapters weaving together a new way of thinking and feeling so that you can become the author of your own story. Stop believing the lies that society and culture have taught you and start living your own truth. Chapter 5 The White Rabbit's Wishes: Why People-Pleasing Never Works Commonly called the 'dis-ease" to please, we get into perfection and shame that come with burdensome labels. Then the lovely triplets, woulda, shoulda, coulda show up to beat down your self esteem. This is an area that I really had to dig deep into personally in order to get clear on who I was as a woman. Chapter 6 I Knew Who I Was This Morning: Finding Self-Esteem Oh how that buzz-word has been so over used but really, I could not think of another word that really talks about how to have a relationship with myself in my own head that is kind and loving and accepting. This is such a necessary relationship to have with oneself and I hope to help you in this chapter really dial into your self love and authenticity. Chapter 7 Dealing with the Duchess: Building Boundaries with Toxic People Oh my gosh! Mental, Spiritual, Emotional and Physical boundaries are necessary tools for a healthy happy life! I with these had been taught to me in school or somewhere before the age of 20…Thank God for my own therapy where I learned what these were and how to put them in. That scary little word "NO" as a woman was one of the hardest for me to learn and that is squarely a boundary. Chapter 8 Conversations with the Cheshire Cat: Which Spiritual Path Is Right for Me? Brene Brown talks about having spirituality in your life as one of the 10 guideposts to wholehearted living and I wholeheartedly agree with her. Let's find your truth in this area so you have one of the most important foundational tools for life. I have had a very rocky road in this area and I am so willing to have this conversation with anyone because it is so important! Chapter 9 The Mock Turtle's Nonsense: Emotional Intelligence As an Alternative to the Ridiculous Emotional Intelligence is an important tool to learn and practice if you really want to be able＜/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。
