Book excerpt: Time was running out for Shantilal. A choice had to be made between pursuing his passion that he had dreamt of all his life and being with his wife, Aaisha, the love of his life. It all started when he met Mishika, the only girl in his team. Until then, things were going well in his life. When there was no work at the office due to transition, and when two employees of the opposite sex started working together, the chemistry was bound to develop. Their boring office life was rejuvenated. As they spent more time together, somehow, the “lost love” in his life rekindled. She introduced him to the virtual world through a social networking platform. During these obsessive moments, while he was immersed in the virtual world, his first love was brought in front of his eyes. That girl who stole his heart in their first meeting was all over his imagination. While he was busy with Mishika, his obsession with the virtual world and his first love, the cloud of doubt had started hovering around Aaisha about his extramarital affairs. When he was at the pinnacle of success being awarded the Best Employee Award of his company, which he won only to fulfil his promise to his lovely wife, a shocking incident occurred like a bolt from the blue, and his life was shattered. He lost the ground when he found that his house was locked and Aaisha was nowhere to be seen. All his efforts to contact her went in vain. While stuck on the roof on a cold night, waiting for his wife and wondering if she had left, he reminisces about his glorious love life and contemplates on the series of incidents that led to this catastrophe. Did he cross the line, which Aisha had warned him of? Will she ever come back to his life? Will he fulfil his dream or sacrifice it for her? He was dejected, devastated and broken but alive hoping that This Too Shall Pass.

Book excerpt: Long before he was the taco seller whose 'Gringo Dog' recipe made him famous throughout Mexico City, our hero was an aspiring artist: an artist, that is, till his would-be girlfriend was stolen by Diego Rivera, and his dreams snuffed out by his hypochondriac mother. Now our hero is resident in a retirement home, where fending off boredom is far more grueling than making tacos. Plagued by the literary salon that bumps about his building's lobby and haunted by the self-pitying ghost of a neglected artist, Villalobos's old man can't help but misbehave: he antagonises his neighbors, tortures American missionaries with passages from Adorno, and flirts with the revolutionary greengrocer.

Download or read book This Too Shall Last written by K.J. Ramsey and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2020-05-12 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is not a before-and-after story. Our culture treats suffering like a problem to fix, a blight to hide, or the sad start of a transformation story. We silently, secretly wither under the pressure of living as though suffering is a predicament we can avoid or annihilate by working hard enough or having enough faith. When your prayers for healing haven't been answered, the fog of depression isn't lifting, your marriage is ending in divorce, or grief won't go away, it's easy to feel you've failed God and, worse, he's failed you. If God loves us, why does he allow us to hurt? Over a decade ago chronic illness plunged therapist and writer K.J. Ramsey straight into this paradox. Before her illness, faith made sense. But when pain came and never left, K.J. had to find a way across the widening canyon that seemed to separate God's goodness from her excruciating circumstances. She wanted to conquer suffering. Instead, she encountered the God who chose it. She wanted to make pain past-tense. Instead, God invited her into a bigger story. This Too Shall Last offers an antidote to our cultural idolatry of effort and ease. Through personal story and insights from neuroscience and theology, Ramsey invites us to let our tears become lenses of the wonder that before God ever rescues us, he stands in solidarity with us. We are all mid-story in circumstances we did not choose, wondering when our hard things will end and where grace will come if they don’t. We don't need to make suffering a before-and-after story. Together we can encounter the grace that enters the middle of our stories, where living with suffering that lingers means receiving God's presence that lasts.

Download or read book Breaking Ground written by Anne Snyder and published by . This book was released on 2022-01-04 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a pandemic and racial reckoning exposed society's faults, Christian thinkers were laying the groundwork for a better future. A public health and economic crisis provoked by Covid-19. A social crisis cracked open by the filmed murder of George Floyd. A leadership crisis laid bare as the gravity of a global pandemic met a country suffocating in political polarization and idolatry. In the spring of 2020 Comment and Plough magazines created a joint publishing project that would tap the resources of the Christian humanist tradition to respond collaboratively and imaginatively to these crises. This volume, written in real time during a year that revealed the depths of our society's fissures, provides a wealth of proposals and reflections on what should come after: how we can truly renew our civilization. Breaking Ground has grown into a network of institutions and people that will continue to respond to these ongoing challenges with a deeply Christian and human vision for the future.

Download or read book This Too Shall Pass written by Georgia Owens and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-05-21 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My home was a prison with invisible bars. It was there that God put me on his potter's wheel to shape and mold me. Sometimes the pain is intense during a pressing, spinning and molding process. But it is so very necessary in order to become a vessel that can be used to serve others. While on the potter's wheel we sometimes become dry, but the Master of the wheel dampens us with His Holy spirit and we become pliable again only to start our process over, and over and over again. I pray that all who reads this book will see the mark of God's love, grace and mercy on my life. We are all here for a reason. I believe as each day unfolds we should see less of the shadows and more of the sun, less of the tarnish and more of the gold.
