＜p＞As I sip slowly on this blackberry tea on this cold winter night, I have my mother’s picture framed in front of me and a coconut almond candle lit to set the tone right. My son is fast asleep, and that noisy round clock in my kitchen is just ticking away. The wind is whistling, making it even harder for me to concentrate.＜/p＞ ＜p＞I’m nervous, I’m heartbroken, and everything that has happened to me left me in disbelief. I’m extremely hurt and crying silently right now. I can feel the warm tears rolling down my cheeks as I gather my thoughts on what I’m about to say. Coming from one of the most-talked about cities, being exposed to poverty, drugs, enslavement, verbal and physical abuse, neglect, sexual assault, domestic violence, single-mother struggles, being an unloved orphan, sex worker, drug dealer, engaging in substance abuse, child endangerment, feeling suicidal and suffering from severe depression, and being a victim of bullying just to name a few, it is not easy touching these places.＜/p＞ ＜p＞But I figured I should. Why? Well, it’s been long, long overdue. I kept this duck tape over my lips for too long. The more I speak on what happened to me and scroll backward, the more I’ll heal and start to grow an understanding about myself. Peace is what I’ve been striving for since forever. How can I have that, though, if I’m holding all these in? I’m suffocating. It doesn’t feel good walking out of the therapist’s office and still feeling the same way. So what’s the next option after you realize therapy ain’t doing a damn thing? I guess give up, right? Well, that’s been an option before for me, but it’s a selfish one, especially when I have a person depending on me. So tell me, what’s next? Well, I figured maybe I should embrace what happened and just make the best of it. So writing out my thoughts have been a tool I have been using lately in efforts to move forward in life so I can be the best I can be.＜/p＞ ＜p＞So welcome to the memoir of my life story . . .＜/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！】Making Peace with Prickly People Transforming Relationships by Loving God, Self, and Others【電子書籍】[ Deb Potts ]

＜p＞I’m mad at you! We try over and over to improve a relationship and yet nothing ever changes. Are you ready to try something new? The secret to making peace in relationships is given in the two greatest commandments, found in the Bible: love God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength; and love your neighbor as yourself.＜/p＞ ＜p＞God’s most important guidelines in the Bible have to do with relationships. Think of them as the two basic things needed to have a successful life. The reason most of us fail at healing relationships is we fail to begin at the beginning. Before I can make peace with a prickly person ? or love my neighbor as myself - I need to have a healthy love for myself. Before I can have a healthy love for myself I must learn to love in a healthy way ? by understanding how God loves me.＜/p＞ ＜p＞We can only love because God first loved us. God invented love. How surprising ? or perhaps not ? the inventor of love would want rebellious people to love Him back. He watches us from heaven, His heart on His sleeve. How utterly exposed and out on a limb of God! The most powerful force in the universe is a sucker for the very love He invented.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Join us on a journey as we ponder love through new research into the personality of Jesus, revealing a Biblical four-fold model. We’ll dive deep into Jesus’ perfect personality, who loves us with all His Heart, all His Soul, all His Mind, and all His Strength.＜/p＞ ＜p＞As Christ’s image bearers, we also have a four-fold personality. Each one of us is unique, each bearing a little slice of Jesus-Genius. Our personalities are far from perfect, however. Our heart, soul, mind, and strength are tainted by our sin nature, making us rather prickly. In some cases, we’ve become our own worst enemies and struggle to find anything lovable about ourselves.＜/p＞ ＜p＞God so desired a relationship with us that He sent His son Jesus to make peace with us, the prickly people. God offers forgiveness and invites us to make peace with Him. When we receive that forgiveness we begin the process of learning how to love God and love ourselves in a healthy way. Loving God enables us to love ourselves as the Bible defines us ? not as the wounds of the past have colored our self-perception. We are free to heal from past hurts and adopt a new self-identity in Christ.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Jesus loves us “as is.” He offers forgiveness to anyone, there’s no price to be paid. That’s how He asks us to love others, “as is.” Love your neighbor as yourself. Love your enemies, for heaven’s sake! The process of making peace with prickly people is not an easy one, but it is possible to do. We examine forgiveness, boundaries, and perspective as we navigate loving others. Gain perspective with practical tips presented in case studies with prickly people.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Finally, learn about the one prickly person we should never make peace with, and why he is thrilled when we struggle with prickly personality problems.＜/p＞ ＜p＞For those not sure how to make peace with God, who struggle to be at peace with themselves, or who fail at navigating personality clashes with prickly people ? this book will open the door to real, lasting peace.＜/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！】Conquest and the Life of Rest - A Devotional Study of Joshua【電子書籍】[ Warren A Henderson ]

＜p＞In Moses' day the Israelites failed to obtain God's rest in Canaan because of disbelief (Heb. 4:4-6). Under Joshua's leadership, the Israelites did enter the land and after seven years of conquest obtained God's rest, but then failed to secure their inheritance in faith after receiving it. Consequently, the rest Jehovah had for them was never fully realized and, in time, was lost. The writer of Hebrews uses their failure as an exhortation, "Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience" (Heb. 4:11-12). The matter of victorious living has not changed; continued faith and obedience ultimately translate into obtaining divine possessions and rest. Labor without faith or faith without labor will never translate into divine conquest and spiritual peace, but will rather conclude in human failure and emotional anxiety. Christ is the believer's inheritance and resting place. The practical blessing of those present possessions granted the believer in Christ will be experienced through faith and obedience as one engages in active conquest and is enabled to do so by resurrection power. Conquest and the Life of Rest is a "commentary style" devotional which upholds the glories of Christ while exploring the book of Joshua within the context of the whole of Scripture. The book includes many principal gleanings from other writers.＜/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！】Issues and Challenges Matters For Consideration, Discussion And Consensus.【電子書籍】[ Peter C Bruechle ]

＜p＞In ‘Issues and Challenges’ I have presented my opinions about several matters I consider need unemotional discussion, not to cram those opinions into the minds of others but to introduce them to others, with the aim of provoking the needed discussion and, if possible, consensus.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Looking disinterestedly at the current western democracies, it is difficult to be pleased with what one sees with their silly, almost childish, squabbles and, often, their concentration on emotional matters that are really of little importance to the future of the human race. Other leadership systems that have been tried ? fascism, communism, religious leadership, hereditary royalty, and leadership based on wealth or military power ? have all shown themselves to have even worse flaws than democracy in the past, and, where still practised as they are in North Korea, in China and in the Middle East, continue to show flaws. Is it possible that the main shortcoming with all these systems does not lie in the systems but with the human animals leading those systems, and those that give those leaders their power? Is it possible that the human animal is a squabbling, conniving, greedy, militant and inherently nasty creature, and that humanity living peacefully on our planet Earth, and advancing science, art and architecture, is only a pipe dream? On the other hand is it possible that the negative traits of humanity can be kept under control? Could balanced, universal education bring about a better humanity, a humanity that could live in productive peace for a fulfilling future on our one and only planet? Or are we doomed to continue despoiling the planet, and will we continue to kill each other with our ever more sophisticated weaponry? Humanity needs to examine these matters and to arrive at answers.＜/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！】The Philosopher’s Playground Understanding Scriptural Reasoning through Modern Philosophy【電子書籍】[ Jacob L. Goodson ]

＜p＞Since its inception in 1994, scriptural reasoning has been practiced by academics and religious laypeople on an international scale. Scriptural reasoning is an activity or practice where Jews, Christians, and Muslims read and study together short passages from their traditionally sacred texts. In this book, Jacob L. Goodson describes this activity by giving a tour through modern philosophy and showing how certain arguments, ideas, and theories from modern philosophers help make sense of this inter-religious practice. According to Goodson, one of the most interesting aspects of the practice of scriptural reasoning concerns how its driven by a tension between pragmatism and semiotics--what he calls purposefulness (pragmatism) vs. playfulness (semiotics) throughout the book. Can inter-religious practices only be playful, in terms of an academic "leisure activity"? Or do inter-religious practices need to strive toward a greater end or even a higher purpose, such as peace-making among the Abrahamic faiths or inter-religious friendships? In each individual chapter, Goodson explores this tension within the practice of scriptural reasoning. Utilizing Immanuel Kant's deontology, Goodson concludes by demonstrating how the practice of scriptural reasoning might work if only two rules are in place while participating in it.＜/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！】The Blackened Canteen【電子書籍】[ Jerry Yellin ]

＜p＞"On June 20, 1945, just before the end of the war, 123 American bombers took off from the island of Guam for an attack on Shizuoka, a Japanese city at the foot of Mount Fuji. The raid destroyed two-thirds of the city, taking the lives of two thousand of its citizens. Twenty-three American airmen also died when two of their planes collided in mid-air. That these twenty-three men were enemy soldiers mattered little to one Japanese person who buried their remains next to the graves of the Shizuoka citizens killed in the attack and erected a memorial for them there. Many years later, in 1971, another Shizuoka citizen learned of this. He began holding his own ceremony beside the memorial, praying for the souls of the twenty-three Americans each year on the Saturday closest to June 20. Though the two countries were once at war, the selfless action of one Shizuoka citizen over sixty years ago has built a bridge between the two countries, inspiring a campaign for peace among Japanese and American citizens, and strengthening ties between the two countries. Having campaigned for peace for many years, this beautiful story strikes a deep chord with me. I hope it will become more widely known around the world and inspire other people too." Imagine Peace, Yoko Ono "Jerry Yellin takes you from the terror of war to the everlasting hope of peace, in a unique story of World War II. -A human story like no other. God bless you, Dr. Sugano." John Colli, Nephew of Ken Colli from The Blackened Canteen "Words cannot express the true feelings of the heart when reading "The Blackened Canteen." We are brought to tears with the realization that this author cared enough to honor these fallen heroes of WWII.

＜p＞Since 1996 war has raged in the Congo while the world has looked away. Waves of armed conflict and atrocities against civilians have resulted in over three million casualties, making this one of the bloodiest yet least understood conflicts of recent times.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In The Congo Wars Thomas Turner provides the first in-depth analysis of what happened. The book describes a resource-rich region, suffering from years of deprivation and still profoundly affected by the shockwaves of the Rwandan genocide. Turner looks at successive misguided and self-interested interventions by other African powers, including Uganda, Angola, Zimbabwe and Namibia, as well as the impotence of United Nations troops. Cutting through the historical myths so often used to understand the devastation, Turner indicates the changes required of Congolese leaders, neighbouring African states and the international community to bring about lasting peace and security.＜/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＞We all suffer losses as we live our lives, but nothing is more traumatic than the loss of a child. When we experience this, society tells us our marriage can’t survive, we’ll never be healed, and we’re changed forever, never to be truly happy again. In Finding the Beauty of Jesus, author Terry Osofsky communicates that marriages do survive, hearts can be healed, and although we’re changed, we can feel peace and happiness again. Healing comes from the healer, Jesus Christ. Osofsky shares her story, of losing her son after a motorcycle accident in September of 2011 and walking through emotional warfare here on earth with Jesus by her side. She tells how he carried her that first year and for many years after. There’s only one way through the valley of the shadow of death, and that’s by holding onto Jesus Christ and trusting him to carry you.＜/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＞Night falls over the land and a shadow lights the way. An all-powerful Blood Mage has taken control of the kingdom of Malethya, and his promised peace and prosperity have come at a very high priceーa blood oath that secures the loyalty, and mindless devotion, of all who fall under its power.

【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！】The Return of Astraea An Astral-Imperial Myth in Calder?n【電子書籍】[ Frederick A. de Armas ]

＜p＞In classical mythology Astraea, the goddess of justice, chastity, and truth, was the last of the immortals to leave Earth with the decline of the ages. Her return was to signal the dawn of a new Golden Age. This myth not only survived the Christian Middle Ages but also became a commonplace in the Renaissance when courtly poets praised their patrons and princes by claiming that Astraea guided them. The literary cult of Astraea persisted in the sixteenth century as writers saw in Elizabeth I of England the imperial Astraea who would lead mankind to peace through universal rule.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This and other late flowerings of the Astraea myth should not be taken as the final phases of her history. Frederick A. de Armas documents in this book what may well be the last great rebirth of Astraea, one that is probably of greater political, religious, and literary significance than others previously described by historians and literary critics. ＜em＞The Return of Astraea＜/em＞ focuses on the seventeenth-century Spanish playwright Pedro Calder?n de la Barca, and analyzes the deity's presence in thirteen of his plays, including his masterpiece, ＜em＞La Vida es Sueho＜/em＞.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Her popularity in this period is partially attributed to political motives, reflecting the aspirations and fears of the Spanish monarch Philip IV. In this broad study, grounded on such diverse fields as astrology, iconography, history, mythology, and philosophy, de Armas explains that Astraea adopts many guises in Calder?n's dramas. Ranging from the Kabbalah to Platonic thought and from satires on Olivares to cosmogonic myths, he analyzes and reinterprets Calder?n's theater from a wide range of perspectives centered on the playwright's utilization of the myth of Astraea. The book thus represents a new view of Calder?n's dramaturgy and also documents the popularity and significance of this astral-imperial myth during the Spanish Golden Age.＜/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！】Into the New World Poems【電子書籍】[ Robert Schultz ]

＜p＞In the title poem of Into the New World Robert Schultz takes the reader on a walk around the World Trade Center site shortly after its destruction. In response to this event, the book ranges through the extremes of war and peace, as well as backwards and forwards in time, searching for shards out of which to build an enabling, humane perspective. Schultz's voice is distinctive, yet he also has fashioned poems out of the nation-shaping prose of Emerson, Thoreau, and William James. Others are spoken in the voice of a Confederate surgeon, an American GI, and a Khmer Rouge photographer. The poems treat wars past and current; the vivid presences of nature; love, marriage, and family--always seeking moments of lyric insight. Such moments occur as the speaker paddles across a shimmering lake, walks at night next to the black reflective wall of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, or, courtesy of NASA, gazes at the rocky plains of Mars. Schultz writes mostly in free verse, but he also adapts the music of forms ranging from the sonnet to the ghazal to Dante's terza rima. In its variety and generosity, Into the New World fashions poem-sized meeting places that invite us to be less divided from one another, less alone.＜/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！】The Japanese City【電子書籍】

＜p＞Japan is one of the most crowded countries on earth, with three-fourths of its population now living in cities. Tokyo is easily the most populous city on the planet. And yet, though closely packed, its citizens dwell together in relative peace. In America, inner-city violenceーoften attributed in part to overcrowdingーis frequently emphasized as one of the great social problems of the day.

With frequent comparisons to the American city, they consider such topics as urban landscapes, the quality of life in the suburbs, spatial mixing of social classes in the city, land use planning and control, environmental pollution, and images of the city in Japanese literature.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The only book on the subject, ＜em＞The Japanese City＜/em＞ surveys the important literature and highlights the current issues in urban studies. The numerous photographs, maps, tables, and graphs, combined with the high quality of the contributions, offer a comprehensive look at the contemporary Japanese city.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Contributors: William Burton, David L.

【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！】The Russian Bureau A Case Study in Wilsonian Diplomacy【電子書籍】[ Linda Killen ]

＜p＞The American position on Russia during the First World War was defined by the same idealism that guided our relations with other countries. Woodrow Wilson and American leaders had hailed the Revolution of March 1917 as an expression of the true spirit of Russia, a harbinger of democracy. The Bolshevik revolt and the civil war that followed were, in their eyes, only temporary disturbances. Still, the growth of the new democracy would only prosper if the Russians could restore order to their beleaguered land.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In this book Linda Killen examines a hitherto neglected instrument of American policy in Russia-the Russian Bureau of the War Trade Board. With support from the administration, the bureau was established by Congress in October 1918 as a public corporation with a fund of $5 million to facilitate trade between Russia and America, for government and business leaders thought that the Russians could be helped to resolve their problems with the income from trade. The bureau was also to assist in two areas essential to trade, stabilizing the currency and restoring the transportation system. With the signing of the peace treaty, however, the bureau as a wartime agency was dissolved in June 1919 and its work assigned to the State Department.＜/p＞ ＜p＞As one of the first American attempts at foreign aid, the bureau's program was necessarily tentative, but Linda Killen shows that, as a specific case, the bureau offers an instructive example. It reveals a widespread ignorance of Russian affairs both in government and in business circles. More importantly, it demonstrates the fatal weakness of an idealistic policy that was blind to political realities. Perhaps, the bureau's most tangible "accomplishment" came when its $5 million were finally transferred to the Trans-Siberian Railroad to purchase new equipment. Yet, ironically, it was the hated Bolsheviks who benefitted from this aid when they seized Siberia and used the new equipment to restore the rail line to efficient operation.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This detailed study of the Russian Bureau sheds new light on a turbulent and tragic area of American diplomacy. Unfortunately, the democratic Russia that Wilson sought to help may never have existed except in his mind and never came to be.＜/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。
