Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GOING TO...Helen A. Handbasket (If you are not chuckling...please look around and make sure you're alone. Okay...Step 1: Slowly read the pseudonym out loud. If you're still not at least smiling...take a deep breath, hold it...and exhale. Repeat Step 1. Now you got it. I thank you..."Helen" thanks you.) A revelation of Biblical proportions concerning the calculated and evil mistranslation of one Greek word in the fifth century promoting the myth (lie), of “eternal” conscious torment in Hell...woven through this intriguing tale is a memoir by a: follower of Christ, Vietnam Veteran–(fun-loving combat medic survivor), former alcoholic/drug addict, scribbling scribe, guitar player, often struggling, yet faithful servant of the Lord...and grateful recipient of His infinite Love and Grace. What the...Hell? Hell is the place where we “reap what we sow.” The author believes all the sins of the world were purchased through the Blood of Christ...the repentant know Salvation through God’s grace alone, for non-believers and the wicked, Salvation comes through the various levels of Hell: chastisement, despair, torment, terror, physical suffering...many believe, death is the final outcome. With the obvious exception of death, the author contends that eventually, the vast majority, if not all, will happily “bow the knee” before they receive the gift of Divine reconciliation. The author will prove, (like so many silenced by the Church over the centuries), that Hell is not eternal. “Eternal conscious torment,” taught by the Church since the fifth century is a lie that has destroyed the lives of millions. How could this myth be manufactured and believed by so many Christians for sixteen centuries based on something so blatantly illogical as Biblical “inerrancy?” OF COURSE Scripture is God-breathed...but to preach mistakes were not even possible by overworked scribes (that used copies, of copies, of copies), for 400 YEARS before we had substantial records, is the height of folly. “The majority is always wrong; the minority is rarely right.” –Henrik Ibsen The truly God-Breathed miracle isn’t the myth of absolute inerrancy, (perpetuated by many “Christians” who sadly rejoice in their exclusive salvation...made sweeter by the eternal suffering of others), it is this: through endless corrupt and nefarious motives, the Gospels, the beating heart of the Good News, remained intact. Why would “men of God,” go to such lengths to inject terrorism into Scripture? “Helen” has the answers. Do we believe God...or, Satan, the author of all lies and slander? Christian writer and speaker, Rick Adair, reveals how this lie came to be...his conclusions–coupled with his warm, yet madcap sense of humor–will have Christian’s, and secular folks alike, chuckling and rejoicing in the depth of God’s love...seeing clearly, perhaps for the first time, that our Father in Heaven would never even consider sending His children into “eternal” conscious torment. God is LOVE. Period.

Download or read book The Heart of the World written by Nik Cohn and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2011-08-10 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The history of Broadway has been written before, but never better....The verbal energy that pours off these pages is enough to transform the hell of...Times Square into a rough-hewn heaven, neon lit and open all night....The only thing wrong with this book is it isn't longer." —NEWSWEEK Nik Cohn ushers readers along the street he calls "The Heart of the World." producing a book that is a resplendent pageant of New York's high-and low-life. Among the characters we meet are a golden-tongued cab driver who calls himself a "collector of farces"; a pickpocket with the terrifying gift of impersonating his marks; a heartbreakingly beautiful Dominican tranvestite named Lush Life; strippers; pseudo-prophets; and a disgraced political veteran of the days when the graft was still honest. Conducted by a writer with the manic energy of a sideshow barker and the full-blooded lyricism of a raucous poet, this is a bebop odyssey along the Great White Way that reaches in implication far beyond the streets of New York to document the ever-evolving mixtures that make up America itself. "A lovely, bracing book, full to bursting with juicy, tasty, rancid life. While making its bawdy way through crowded spaces ... it also travels through modern times ... wondrous." —USA TODAY
Download or read book Acid Reflux written by Paul Dunk and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-08-08 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection is a celebration of the long story containing 16 works of fiction along with the novella, "Jane Dough." With the exception of three new pieces, the stories were written from 2000-2006 and then extensively revised for this 2013 book. The following stories are works of fiction intended only to amuse or otherwise stimulate potential adult readers. Any characters resembling persons living or dead are purely an offshoot of coincidence. The setting for "Jane Dough" was based on a neighborhood I lived in for eight years back in Chicago. Ironically, half the block was torn down shortly after my departure . . . but there was no evil conspiracy at fault. It was urban renewal. I don't know the property owners from a hole in the ground.

Download or read book Things Are Against Us written by Lucy Ellmann and published by Biblioasis. This book was released on 2021-09-28 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “[Ellmann] delivers these diatribes with her signature wit and humor ... Each essay is accompanied by an illustration by artist Diana Hope, which complements the colorful nature of this collection. Fans of Ellmann will likely delight in Things Are Against Us.”—Chicago Review of Books The author of the Goldsmiths Prize-winning and Booker-shortlisted blockbuster Ducks, Newburyport returns with a rollicking new collection of satirical essays Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold. As Yeats pointed out, things have a lot to answer for. These satirical essays jauntily tackle the obstinacy, incorrigibility, and recalcitrance of things, Laura Ingalls Wilder’s unimpressive descriptions of the construction of bobsleds and door latches, and the way we try to stand on our own two feet, put our best foot forward, remain footloose and fancy-free, and inevitably put our foot in it. They also cover the first suggestion the internet offers when you look up the word ‘women’ (spoiler: it’s shoes) and other annoyances (some fatal) of male supremacy, the nobility of buttons, and what the rejection of tourists by Jordanian donkeys should mean for global travel (stop!). Ingrid Bergman and Jane Austen come into it somewhere (Helen Gurley Brown was forcibly removed). Early versions of some of these essays have appeared in international outlets of record, but others are brand-new and ready for your delectation. Illustrations by Diana Hope.
Download or read book The Complete Annotated Grateful Dead Lyrics written by and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-12-16 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the most popular and enduring band ever: “Even the most hardcore Deadheads will be impressed by this obsessively complete look at the Grateful Dead’s lyrics” (Publishers Weekly). The Complete Annotated Grateful Dead Lyrics is an authoritative text, providing standard versions of all the original songs you thought you knew forwards and backwards. These are some of the best-loved songs in the modern American songbook. They are hummed and spoken among thousands as counterculture code and recorded by musicians of all stripes for their inimitable singability and obscure accessibility. How do they do all this? To provide a context for this formidable body of work, of which his part is primary, Robert Hunter has written a foreword that goes to the heart of the matter. And the annotations on sources provide a gloss on the lyrics, which goes to the roots of Western culture as they are incorporated into them. An avid Grateful Dead concertgoer for more than two decades, David Dodd is a librarian who brings to the work a detective’s love of following a clue as far as it will take him. Including essays by Dead lyricists Robert Hunter and John Perry and Jim Carpenter’s original illustrations, whimsical elements in the lyrics are brought to light, showcasing the American legend that is present in so many songs. A gorgeous keepsake edition of the Dead’s official annotated lyrics, The Complete Annotated Grateful Dead Lyrics is an absolute must-have for the fiftieth anniversary—you won’t think of this cultural icon the same way again. In fact, founding band member Bob Weir said: “This book is great. Now I’ll never have to explain myself.”

Download or read book Made for You and Me written by Caitlin Shetterly and published by Hachette Books. This book was released on 2011-03-08 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nothing turns a baby's head more quickly than the sight or sound of an animal. This fascination is driven by the ancient chemical forces that first drew humans and animals together. It is also the same biology that transformed wolves into dogs and skittish horses into valiant comrades that would carry us into battle. Made for Each Other is the first book to explain how this chemistry of attraction and attachment flows through -- and between -- all mammals to create the profound emotional bonds humans and animals still feel today. Drawing on recent discoveries from neuroscience, evolutionary biology, behavioral psychology, archeology, as well as her own investigations, Meg Daley Olmert explains why the brain chemistry humans and animals trigger in each other also has a profound effect on our mental and physical well being. This lively and original investigation asks what happens when the bond is severed. If thousands of years of caring for animals infused us with a biology that shaped our hearts and minds, do we dare turn our back on it? Daley Olmert makes a compelling and scientific case for what our hearts have always known, that we were, and always will be, made for each other.

Cindy Morgan is still reeling from the loss of her mother when an accident leaves her boyfriend missing and presumed drowned. When Frances Rogers happens upon the accident site, she stays with Cindy until help arrives. In the aftermath of that night’s events, as Cindy faces her future with a determination often misunderstood as indifference, Frances becomes her source of both support and compassion. Cindy and Frances are determined to find their own lives unencumbered by conventional expectations, but their path to adulthood is neither easy nor clear, and the future that each girl finds is not what she expected or planned. One generation follows another, and in the end, the girls learn that life moves on its own path, that “transformation is what takes you forward. It’s the only constant thing.”
