Book excerpt: Chasing Gratitude is a gritty, no-nonsense look at a man's self-destruction, redemption, and restitution. Divided into 30 portions, it is suitable for devotional reading or group study. For much of his early adult life, Douglas Boyer chased someone else's dream and ended up an addict and a prisoner. As he recognized what God had done for him and the divine purpose for his life, he left his former pursuit and began chasing gratitude. Through the medium of free verse, Douglas paints a picture of his former life, which was painful for him to live. He pours out his confession before GOD and man openly, remorsefully, and bravely, as one who has been a prisoner sitting in "darkness and the shadow of death" (Psalm 107:14). Addiction, as defined by Romans 7:14–25, is powerlessness! Unless you have experienced it, you cannot academically or intellectually understand it. Douglas assures those living the lifestyle of addiction, yet who desire redemption through Christ: You are not alone. He encourages the spouses and children of those living a lifestyle of addiction: Trust that GOD surely hears your prayers. ~ Dr. Neville Patricq Butler, Doctor of Theology, UCLA; pastor, Narrow Gate Church, Charlotte, North Carolina; co-founder, Unshackled Substance and Alcohol Recovery Ministry; former, felon, gang member, and addict “…for those whose family deals with the horrors of addiction, it gives solace and hope. It will also give insight for professionals and non-professionals who wish to help people under the helplessness of addiction.” ~ Kevin Morgan, editor

Download or read book Chasing Slow written by Erin Loechner and published by HarperChristian + ORM. This book was released on 2017-01-10 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chasing Slow models HGTV star Erin Loechner's journey to help you break out of the faster-better-stronger trap and make small changes to refresh your perspective, renew your priorities, and shift your focus to what matters most. You're here, but you want to be there. So you spend your life narrowing this divide, and you call this your race, your journey, your path. You live your days tightening your boot straps, wiping the sweat from your brow, chasing undiscovered happiness just around the bend. And on and on you run. Viral sensation and HGTV.com star Erin Loechner knows about the chase. Before turning 30, she'd earned the title "The Nicest Girl Online" as she was praised for her authentic voice and effortless style. Her HGTV web show garnered over one million fans worldwide, and her client list includes Walt Disney World, IKEA, Martha Stewart and Home Depot. The New York Times applauded her, her friends and church admired her, and her husband and baby adored her. She had arrived at the ultimate destination. So why did she feel so lost? Through a series of steep climbs--her husband's brain tumor, bankruptcy, family loss, and public criticism--Erin learns just how much strength it takes to surrender it all, and to veer right into grace. In Chasing Slow, Erin upgrades her life through downsizing--her stuff, her obligations, her fears, her personal metric of "perfect." And ultimately, her invitation becomes yours: to turn away from the fast and frenzy, and find freedom in a new-fashioned lifestyle defined by grace. Life's answers are not always hidden where they seem. It's time to venture off the beaten path to see that we’ve already been given everything we need. We've already arrived. You see? You'll see.

Book excerpt: You weren't born to be like everyone else because God made you to stand out—so use this inspirational book to discover the amazing adventures He has planned for you! You can certainly survive without adventure—keep your head down and live in your comfort zone, doing only what you must to maintain the day-to-day. But life is meant to be a grand adventure! It should surprise and wow us on a regular basis.

Ginger Stache firmly believes that we are at our best when we live with an attitude that life is an adventure—an outlook that sets the stage by believing that every moment has the potential to bring something amazing, a sight to behold, or a lesson to be learned. By walking you through her own adventures in Chasing Wonder, you will find the inspiration to begin your own. And what's more, you'll make space for God to move in marvelous and unexpected ways.

Download or read book The Politics of Gratitude written by Mark T. Mitchell and published by Potomac Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2012-10-31 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many Americans are longing for alternative politics rooted in strong communities, recognition of limits, and respect for the natural world. These issues are not the possession of one political party. Rather, they refer to ideas rooted deeply in the best aspects of our common tradition, and they represent yearnings that many, regardless of political affiliation, share. This book articulates a cultural and political vision that leads one off the couch and into the garden, out of the shopping mall and into the farmersÆ market, and away from Washington in the direction of home. In this postpartisan call to action, political theorist Mark T. Mitchell develops the concept of the ôpolitics of gratitude,ö which revolves around four ideas: creatureliness, gratitude, human scale, and place, culminating in a distinctive, fruitful view of human nature and community at odds with the prevailing norms of individualism (and, not so paradoxically, statism), giantism, and hypermobility. Going beyond the liberal-conservative factionalism that has reduced our political and cultural discourse to clichTs and vitriol, he urges us to become responsible stewards of the earth who are committed to family and community and who abide in gratitude, taking nothing for granted. The result is a political and cultural vision that is at once local, limited, modest, republican, greenùand grateful.

In the 70s and 80s era, the book, Chasing a Dream, life begins anew for seven teenagers who have been friends throughout high school with two of them being friends since birth. Add another teenager whose dream does not include college, but he has definitely established his dream as a professional race car driver, you enter a world of self-discovery with relationships that range from survival, validation, scripted, acceptance, and individuation-assertion all wrapped up within the characters of Chase, Stacey, and Eric (the main characters).

Some friends are rarely heard of again while others remain close with communication and build a solid tight relationship that shares moments of joy, endurance, tragedy, and romance. Not all their dreams come true and new dreams emerge. However, some dreams are worth chasing no matter the cost as Chase, Stacey, and Eric set their course for their new life’s adventure.

His life has been radically transformed by the concepts he learned through the revelations in this book.
