Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Journey in real time with Steve, a burned-out Protestant minister, as he babysits his daughter's classmate Adi.

It’s been a long time. Gabriel Aguilar left the Bronx at eighteen to escape his parents’ demanding expectations, but it also meant saying goodbye to Michelle, his best friend and longtime crush. Now, he’s the successful co-owner of LA’s hottest celebrity gym, with an investor who insists on opening a New York City location. It’s the last place Gabe wants to go, but when Michelle is unexpectedly brought on board to spearhead the new marketing campaign, everything Gabe’s been running from catches up with him.

Download or read book The Energy of Forgiveness written by Mark S. Umbreit and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2015-07-15 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forgiveness is a profound, life-changing experience for many people who have been hurt by others. But forgiveness is paradoxical in that if one relies on forgiveness language or if others prescribe it as an expectation, the depth of that experience can be significantly compromised. By the same token, many people experience deep forgiveness without ever using the language of forgiveness. Most of the stories in this book testify to how forgiveness is experienced primarily as an inner unburdening of negative emotions, a process that is aided by safe, facilitated dialogue with the offending party. New research on the benefits of forgiveness is on the rise these days, yet there is often little narrative to show the power of forgiveness. The authors present more than twelve case studies that led up to restorative dialogue processes where parties chose to meet together. Whether the case involves the murder of a loved one, a burglary, or the buildup of workplace tensions, a common pattern emerges: as both parties encounter the true humanity of the other person, the negative energy stemming from the offense is transformed into a positive energy that gives both parties a deep inner peace and new freedom.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People throughout the world are trying to flock to America seeking a better life. Circumventing their way into United States, where promises that hard work will obtain their desired goal. Through the eyes of a new visitor in the States and some more seasoned arrivals, we can see how these immigrants abandoned their culture and embraced one of uncertainty. Grigorie a pensioner from Romania deserted by his two sons, coming to see how they fared. One lives in a prestigious city of Boca Raton Florida, succeeding in business only within few years and coming closer to living the American dream;. Grigorie after couple of weeks in Boca doesnt see whats so good about this life, his views clash with his son and some others who believe they are the lucky ones to be here. Together with his in-law Petru (who immigrated to America more than 30 years ago), they realized that these seekers of the good life have not done the right thing in abandoning their culture. The beauty, freedom, and happiness of the past cannot be brought back. Only through their ancestral music they could feel the reminiscence of their lost treasures, many times brought by the old antediluvian violin through her strings of time.

Download or read book Expressive Morphology in the Languages of South Asia written by Jeffrey P. Williams and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2020-08-30 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Expressive Morphology in the Languages of South Asia explores the intricacies of the grammars of several of the languages of the South Asian subcontinent. Specifically, the contributors to this volume examine grammatical resources for shaping elaborative, rhyming, and alliterative expressions, conveying the emotions, states, conditions and perceptions of speakers. These forms, often referred to expressives, remain relatively undocumented, until now. It is clear from the evidence on contextualized language use that the grammatically artistic usage of these forms enriches and enlivens both every day and ritualized genres of discourse. The contributors to this volume provide grammatical and sociolinguistic documentation through a typological introduction to the diversity of expressive forms in the languages of South Asia. This book is suitable for students and researchers in South Asian Languages, and language families of the following; Dravidian, Indo-Aryan, Iranian, Sino-Tibetan and Austro-Asiatic.
