Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Christians, we sometimes feel overwhelmed and discouraged about the various problems in our lives. Instead of trusting God the way we should, we often wind up berating ourselves and despairing over our failures. The Old Testament tells us about the rights we have inherited as children and heirs to His kingdom. However, we are living in a world where Satan’s goal is to keep us from realizing our full potential and what is rightfully ours. In 1983, at a women's fellowship meeting, I presented the message the Holy Spirit had given me regarding the ten areas of discipline: worldliness, words, thoughts, pride, fear, unforgiveness, finances, health, prayer, and perseverance. Shortly after teaching that lesson, the Holy Spirit led me into a three-year study of the disciplines to facilitate my own spiritual growth. He showed me that: • worldliness, negative words, and negative thoughts are things that come against us; • pride, fear, and unforgiveness are negative emotions that come against us. When Satan keeps us in a negative mode, he can affect our finances, health, and prayer life. The good news is that God has given us a tool to help us overcome physical and spiritual battles: perseverance. Several years later when I was feeling overwhelmed and discouraged about various problems in my own life, I heard a message from the Lord: "It’s hard to have a mouse-free house. But with God all things are possible." He was reminding me of how a little mouse had sneaked in and violated my house for three weeks when I was away on a trip. As I meditated on the "mouse-free house" concept, I remembered the lessons the Holy Spirit had taught me regarding the ten areas of discipline. God was showing me that Satan violates our spiritual houses the way a mouse violates our physical houses. It was then I realized the Lord was compelling me to put His ten disciplines into a book for instruction and meditation. The ten disciplines are divided into four sections. They show us how to fight Satan’s barrage of tricks and traps that his forces use against us. They will help us develop and maintain a spiritual "mouse-free" house. PART 1: Negative Things That Come Against Us • The negative things that come against us are worldliness, words, and thoughts. Worldliness is anything that keeps us from fellowshipping with God. The section on worldliness defines the covenants that God made to help mankind fight spiritual and physical battles. God never breaks a covenant and His Word does not return void. However, through worldliness, negative words, and negative thoughts we get into unbelief and lose God’s blessings. PART 2: Negative Emotions That Come Against Us • All negative emotions stem from pride, fear, and unforgiveness. Pride originates from Satan, and it wears many faces. It stimulates selfish ambitions and leads to moral decay. It causes us to glorify ourselves instead of God. Fear violates our faith. Satan uses all aspects of fear to keep us doubting our ability to succeed in what we are attempting. Forgiveness is contingent upon an act of the will. Do we choose to forgive and forget? Or do we choose to let an offense stay alive in our spirit, wrestle with it from time to time, and allow old wounds to keep festering? PART 3: Battlefields of Life • The daily battles of life affect our finances, health and prayer. God’s Word teaches us how to have our finances blessed instead of cursed. He listed the blessings we would receive if we obeyed His commandments, and the financial curses that would follow if His commandments were not obeyed. Good health can be maintained by adhering to God’s wisdom and discipline. The body is a homestead given to us by God. The length of our life and our happiness on earth will be determined by the wisdom we use in the upkeep of our temporary home. Prayer is an open line to God’s throne. It helps us deal with the stresses of life. We use it to praise Him, seek His counsel, and enjoy a personal relationship with Him. PART 4: Perseverance: God’s Tool for Overcoming • Perseverance is the key to living in God’s disciplines. It is a steady heartbeat of faith. Not the kind of faith that is tossed about like the waves of the sea. All of God’s disciplines require that we polish up the tool of perseverance. This tool is necessary whether we are attempting a small feat or a large one. "He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?" (Micah 6:8). As we continue to practice these ten disciplines, we will develop the ability to walk in love. This will enable us to receive the happiness, health, and prosperity that God has wanted for us from the beginning of creation.

Book excerpt: “Once upon a time there was a little mouse house. It was like a doll’s house, but not for dolls, for mice.” Not proper mice, but a flannel He-Mouse and She-Mouse with beady eyes and bristle whiskers who stand quite still, propped on their hind legs in the sitting room. Mary knows real mice run and scamper, and disappointed with her new gift, she puts the mouse house away in her room. Meanwhile, down in the basement, a real mouse named Bonnie has been jostled out of her woefully inadequate flowerpot home by her older brothers and sisters. Overlooked by her harried parents and desperate for shelter, Bonnie ventures upstairs and finds the mouse house. And before too long what was a miniature make-believe house becomes a marvelously messy home for proper mice who know how to play, much to everyone’s delight.
Download or read book The House on Mango Street written by Sandra Cisneros and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2013-04-30 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A coming-of-age classic about a young girl growing up in Chicago • Acclaimed by critics, beloved by readers of all ages, taught in schools and universities alike, and translated around the world—from the winner of the 2019 PEN/Nabokov Award for Achievement in International Literature. “Cisneros draws on her rich [Latino] heritage...and seduces with precise, spare prose, creat[ing] unforgettable characters we want to lift off the page. She is not only a gifted writer, but an absolutely essential one.” —The New York Times Book Review The House on Mango Street is one of the most cherished novels of the last fifty years. Readers from all walks of life have fallen for the voice of Esperanza Cordero, growing up in Chicago and inventing for herself who and what she will become. “In English my name means hope,” she says. “In Spanish it means too many letters. It means sadness, it means waiting." Told in a series of vignettes—sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes joyous—Cisneros’s masterpiece is a classic story of childhood and self-discovery and one of the greatest neighborhood novels of all time. Like Sinclair Lewis’s Main Street or Toni Morrison’s Sula, it makes a world through people and their voices, and it does so in language that is poetic and direct. This gorgeous coming-of-age novel is a celebration of the power of telling one’s story and of being proud of where you're from.

Download or read book Animalkind written by Ingrid Newkirk and published by Simon & Schuster. This book was released on 2021-01-19 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The founder and president of PETA, Ingrid Newkirk, and bestselling author Gene Stone explore the wonders of animal life with “admiration and empathy” (The New York Times Book Review) and offer tools for living more kindly toward them. In the last few decades, a wealth of new information has emerged about who animals are: astounding beings with intelligence, emotions, intricate communications networks, and myriad abilities. In Animalkind, Ingrid Newkirk and Gene Stone present these findings in a concise and awe-inspiring way, detailing a range of surprising discoveries, like that geese fall in love and stay with a partner for life, that fish “sing” underwater, and that elephants use their trunks to send subsonic signals, alerting other herds to danger miles away. Newkirk and Stone pair their tour through the astounding lives of animals with a guide to the exciting new tools that allow humans to avoid using or abusing animals as we once did. Whether it’s medicine, product testing, entertainment, clothing, or food, there are now better options to all the uses animals once served in human life. We can substitute warmer, lighter faux fleece for wool, choose vegan versions of everything from shrimp to marshmallows, reap the benefits of animal-free medical research, and scrap captive orca exhibits and elephant rides for virtual reality and animatronics. Animalkind provides a fascinating look at why our fellow living beings deserve our respect, and lays out the steps everyone can take to put this new understanding into action.
