Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jillian Lima's whole world was destroyed in a span of a few hours. The same night her childhood love, Brock 'the Beast' Mitchell, broke her heart, her life was irrevocably altered by the hand of a stranger with a gun. It takes six years to slowly glue together the shattered pieces of her life, but Jillian is finally ready to stop existing in a past full of pain and regret. She takes a job at her father's martial arts Academy and she's going out on her first date since a failed relationship that was more yuck than yum. Jillian is determined to start living. She just never expected Brock to be a part of her life again. But he's firmly back in her life before she knows it, and not only is he older, he's impossibly more handsome, more teasing and more everything. And when he sees Jillian, he's no longer capable of thinking of her as the little girl who was his shadow growing up or the daughter of the man who gave him a second chance at life. He sees the woman who'd always been there for him, the one person who believed in him no matter what. Brock knows she's the one he should've made his, and what begins as a tentative friendship quickly turns to red-hot chemistry that sparks a flame that burns brighter than lust. Falling for Brock again risks more than her heart, because when the past sorrow-filled and guilt-ridden past resurfaces, and a web of lies threatens to rip them apart, the fallout could lay waste to everything they've fought to build together, and destroy the dreams of those they care most about.

Download or read book When You Are Engulfed in Flames written by David Sedaris and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2008-06-03 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "David Sedaris's ability to transform the mortification of everyday life into wildly entertaining art," (The Christian Science Monitor) is elevated to wilder and more entertaining heights than ever in this remarkable new book. Trying to make coffee when the water is shut off, David considers using the water in a vase of flowers and his chain of associations takes him from the French countryside to a hilariously uncomfortable memory of buying drugs in a mobile home in rural North Carolina. In essay after essay, Sedaris proceeds from bizarre conundrums of daily life-having a lozenge fall from your mouth into the lap of a fellow passenger on a plane or armoring the windows with LP covers to protect the house from neurotic songbirds-to the most deeply resonant human truths. Culminating in a brilliant account of his venture to Tokyo in order to quit smoking, David Sedaris's sixth essay collection is a new masterpiece of comic writing from "a writer worth treasuring" (Seattle Times). Praise for When You Are Engulfed in Flames: "Older, wiser, smarter and meaner, Sedaris...defies the odds once again by delivering an intelligent take on the banalities of an absurd life." --Kirkus Reviews This latest collection proves that not only does Sedaris still have it, but he's also getting better....Sedaris's best stuff will still--after all this time--move, surprise, and entertain." --Booklist Table of Contents: It's Catching Keeping Up The Understudy This Old House Buddy, Can You Spare a Tie?

Download or read book The Fire Within written by Ronald Rolheiser and published by Paraclete Press. This book was released on 2021-03-16 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For most religious people, the words God and sex never go together. God is conceived of as holy, pure, sexless, and as morally above the raw desires that so powerfully beset us. Sex, on the other hand, is conceived of as earthy and unholy, something we must snatch, and not without guilt, from the gods. Christianity has struggled mightily with sex; so too have most other religions. And yet when we look at sexual desire and ask where it comes from, there can be only one answer. It comes from God. This is a book on desire, its experience, its origins, its meaning, and how it might be generatively channeled. Sexuality is inside us to help lure us back to God, but dealing with this fire inside us is a lifelong struggle. Ron Rolheiser sheds light on this mystery and the journey it takes us on in these tantalizing fragments that help give us permission to feel what we feel and know that God is still smiling on us.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Light within humans is often translated as enlightenment, understanding and/or truth. Light gives off warmth and the warmth of this light is love. It is love that breaks through darkness, fear, negativity, hatred, low self-esteem, anger, envy, greed, self doubt, uncertainty and poverty. These negative states prevent us from attaining trust, faith in oneself or in others. Fear paralyzes the mind and every cell in the body. It blocks the natural light and when this happens we feel isolated, abandoned and alone. The emotional states of uncertainty, doubt, distrust, worry, frustration, anxiety, anger, condemnation and fear, all prevent us from moving forward in life. This book demonstrates how we may rid ourselves of our rigid beliefs about life and the conditions we encounter.

Book excerpt: *NOW A NETFLIX LIMITED SERIES—from producer and director Shawn Levy (Stranger Things) starring Mark Ruffalo, Hugh Laurie, and newcomer Aria Mia Loberti* Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award finalist, the beloved instant New York Times bestseller and New York Times Book Review Top 10 Book about a blind French girl and a German boy whose paths collide in occupied France as both try to survive the devastation of World War II. Marie-Laure lives with her father in Paris near the Museum of Natural History where he works as the master of its thousands of locks. When she is six, Marie-Laure goes blind and her father builds a perfect miniature of their neighborhood so she can memorize it by touch and navigate her way home. When she is twelve, the Nazis occupy Paris, and father and daughter flee to the walled citadel of Saint-Malo, where Marie-Laure’s reclusive great uncle lives in a tall house by the sea. With them they carry what might be the museum’s most valuable and dangerous jewel. In a mining town in Germany, the orphan Werner grows up with his younger sister, enchanted by a crude radio they find. Werner becomes an expert at building and fixing these crucial new instruments, a talent that wins him a place at a brutal academy for Hitler Youth, then a special assignment to track the Resistance. More and more aware of the human cost of his intelligence, Werner travels through the heart of the war and, finally, into Saint-Malo, where his story and Marie-Laure’s converge. Doerr’s “stunning sense of physical detail and gorgeous metaphors” (San Francisco Chronicle) are dazzling. Deftly interweaving the lives of Marie-Laure and Werner, he illuminates the ways, against all odds, people try to be good to one another. Ten years in the writing, All the Light We Cannot See is a magnificent, deeply moving novel from a writer “whose sentences never fail to thrill” (Los Angeles Times).

The brilliance of the novel [is] that it distracts you with these weirdo characters and mesmerizing and funny sentences and then hits you in a way you didn’t see coming. You’re laughing so hard you don’t even realize that you’ve suddenly caught fire.” —Taffy Brodesser-Akner, author of Fleishman is in Trouble, New York Times Book Review From the New York Times bestselling author of The Family Fang, a moving and uproarious novel about a woman who finds meaning in her life when she begins caring for two children with a remarkable ability. Lillian and Madison were unlikely roommates and yet inseparable friends at their elite boarding school. But then Lillian had to leave the school unexpectedly in the wake of a scandal and they’ve barely spoken since. Until now, when Lillian gets a letter from Madison pleading for her help. Madison’s twin stepkids are moving in with her family and she wants Lillian to be their caretaker. However, there’s a catch: the twins spontaneously combust when they get agitated, flames igniting from their skin in a startling but beautiful way. Lillian is convinced Madison is pulling her leg, but it’s the truth. Thinking of her dead-end life at home, the life that has consistently disappointed her, Lillian figures she has nothing to lose. Over the course of one humid, demanding summer, Lillian and the twins learn to trust each other—and stay cool—while also staying out of the way of Madison’s buttoned-up politician husband. Surprised by her own ingenuity yet unused to the intense feelings of protectiveness she feels for them, Lillian ultimately begins to accept that she needs these strange children as much as they need her—urgently and fiercely. Couldn’t this be the start of the amazing life she’d always hoped for? With white-hot wit and a big, tender heart, Kevin Wilson has written his best book yet—a most unusual story of parental love.

Book excerpt: "Scars" tell a story, there is power in our scars. I was born and raised in the East New York section of Brooklyn. Street life in the inner city was very enticing as a young girl. Growing up, living in the hood was sometimes scary and other times it was exciting, but most of the time it was dangerous. Hearing police cars speeding down the street with their sirens blasting in the middle of the night was nothing new and seeing drug dealers selling drugs on the corner was a part of everyday life. Prostitutes, pimps, drug addicts and hustlers ,can be found in any ghetto neighborhood. Street crimes and violence have cost many people their lives. By the age of fifteen, I was already smoking cigarettes and marijuana and hanging out with friends ,that was just the beginning. I grew up around the drug game, I've seen mother's use their baby's diapers and milk money just for that next hit of crack, and father's selling their bodies when they were broke, busted, disgusted and "stressing" for more drugs. But I never dreamed, in a million years, I would end up just like them, strung out on drugs. By nineteen I became a product of the environment I was raised around and I started selling drugs to support my own habit. When I hit "rock bottom" and I could no longer sell drugs, I shoplifted and panhandled for the next hit. The same lifestyle I knew so well almost cost me my life. By then I was so far gone, I never even saw it coming... The night I was drugged, someone set the fire and left us for dead. This is my story it's going to take you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions, at times you will feel happy, sometimes you will be sad, and before it's over, you just may get angry. Your heart will race and fear will consume you as I take you step by step through the fire with me. By the time you finish reading my story, you will have taken the ride of your life. But, I warn you hold on because just like on any good rollercoaster ride, your stomach will drop with all the up's and down's, twists and turns and you will go backwards and forwards with me. Then just when you think it's over, you will go down again, way down as I share my experiences with you and before you know it you will feel the awesome wonders as you are lifted back up, way up to the Heavens above. So if you have hurts from the past, or if you are hiding behind your scars, whether internal or external scars, this book is a must read for you. I hid behind my scars for over twenty years but now I am living beyond them and so can you. If you or someone you know and love has a drug addiction and need help, this book will guide you to getting the help you need. Even if you just enjoy reading, I really encourage you to read my story to the end, past all of the devastating losses, the unbelievable chances, the sudden misfortunes and especially the incredible triumphs, because after going through all of that with me, there are jewels at the end which could be waiting just for you. Yes, I have many, many scars, but I am no longer ashamed of them. Today I embrace them and this is my journey. I am revealing the truth of my scars and using them to bring the message of healing to others. Now a FIRE WITHIN me burns brightly and strongly.Sincerely,Sherry Graves

Download or read book The Flame Within A Diwali Tale of Hope written by Dr. Munish Kumar Thakur and published by JEC PUBLICATION. This book was released on with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Festivals serve as a reflection of the most important ideals held by humanity; they serve as a timeless reminder of these principles. Diwali, or the Festival of Lights, is particularly notable among them due to its glowing symbolism. Diwali, an expression of hope, rebirth, and the enduring power of the human spirit, is a celebration of light triumphing over darkness that has its roots in the Indian cultural and spiritual tradition. The Flame Within: A Diwali Tale of Hope is a book that was inspired by the desire to distil the spirit of the festival and investigate the ways in which its themes speak to both the lives of the individual and the larger society. This story is timeless and relevant at the same time. It illustrates how each person's inner light can shine brightest in times of adversity by weaving together stories of personal struggle, courage, and renewal. On the other hand, it provides a more in-depth analysis of the shared difficulties we confront in a world that is becoming more and more divided—where values like compassion, inclusivity, and harmony are frequently overshadowed by fear, uncertainty, and conflict. The book shows how times of individual awakening and communal hope can be expressed through a narrative arc that reflects the Diwali journey. Finally, I invite you to read this anthology with an open heart, to consider how its themes resonate within your own life, and to recognize that the flame of hope burns brightest when it is shared.

Download or read book This Flame Within written by Manijeh Moradian and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2022-08-29 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In This Flame Within Manijeh Moradian revises conventional histories of Iranian migration to the United States as a post-1979 phenomenon characterized by the flight of pro-Shah Iranians from the Islamic Republic and recounts the experiences of Iranian foreign students who joined a global movement against US imperialism during the 1960s and 1970s. Drawing on archival evidence and in-depth interviews with members of the Iranian Students Association, Moradian traces what she calls “revolutionary affects”—the embodied force of affect generated by experiences of repression and resistance—from encounters with empire and dictatorship in Iran to joint organizing with other student activists in the United States. Moradian theorizes “affects of solidarity” that facilitated Iranian student participation in a wide range of antiracist and anticolonial movements and analyzes gendered manifestations of revolutionary affects within the emergence of Third World feminism. Arguing for a transnational feminist interpretation of the Iranian Student Association’s legacy, Moradian demonstrates how the recognition of multiple sources of oppression in the West and in Iran can reorient Iranian diasporic politics today.
