Download or read book Love Olives written by Jenna Evans Welch and published by Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers. This book was released on 2020-11-10 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Bestseller From the New York Times bestselling author of Love & Gelato comes a Mamma Mia!–inspired tale about a teen girl finding romance while trying to connect with her absent father in beautiful Santorini, Greece. Liv Varanakis doesn’t have a lot of fond memories of her father, which makes sense—he fled to Greece when she was only eight. What Liv does remember, though, is their shared love for Greek myths and the lost city of Atlantis. So when Liv suddenly receives a postcard from her father explaining that National Geographic is funding a documentary about his theories on Atlantis—and will she fly out to Greece and help?—Liv jumps at the opportunity. But when she arrives to gorgeous Santorini, things are a little…awkward. There are so many questions, so many emotions that flood to the surface after seeing her father for the first time in years. And yet Liv doesn’t want their past to get in the way of a possible reconciliation. She also definitely doesn’t want Theo—her father’s charismatic so-called “protégé”—to witness her struggle. And that means diving into all that Santorini has to offer—the beautiful sunsets, the turquoise water, the hidden caves, and the delicious cuisine. But not everything on the Greek island is as perfect as it seems. Because as Liv slowly begins to discover, her father may not have invited her to Greece for Atlantis, but for something much more important.

Download or read book Eat to Love written by Jenna Hollenstein and published by Lionheart Press, a division of the Open Heart Project. This book was released on 2019-01-10 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A joyful, non-diet approach to mindfulness, intuitive eating, and falling in love with the body you live in. In Eat to Love, nutritionist Jenna Hollenstein leads a spiritual revolution against pervasive attitudes towards food and dieting, and demonstrates how to free your mind from the fear, frustration, and shame often associated with eating. Through a series of revelatory exercises, along with simple instructions for time-proven mindfulness and meditation techniques, you’ll learn to identify prejudices around eating and reset your relationship with food. Eat to Love is not a diet book, not a “clean eating” manual, and not a guide to “being your best self.” Rather, it is a liberating path to sanity, and to loving the body you have right now. Since early childhood, many of us have heard that something is wrong with our bodies: with the way they look, the way they feel and the food we crave. This diet culture—surrounding us in the form of media, fashion, food trends, and even messages from friends and family—tells us that the only way to be happy is to be thin and to rigidly follow the latest eating dogma. Eat to Love challenges this insidious, pervasive messaging and resets your relationship with food from one that’s shameful to one that’s nourishing, liberating, and enriching.

Jenna reflects on the single year in which she and her family lost Barbara and George H. W. Bush, and Jenna Welch. With the light, self-deprecating charm of the bestselling Sisters First—cowritten with her twin sister, Barbara—Jenna reveals how they navigated this difficult period with grace, faith, and nostalgic humor, uplifted by their grandparents’ sage advice and incomparable spirits. In this moving book, Jenna remembers the past, cherishes the present, and prepares for the future—providing a wealth of anecdotes and lessons for her own children and all of us. Poignant and humorous, intimate and sincere, Everything Beautiful in Its Time is a warm and wonderful celebration of the enduring power of family and an exploration of the things that truly matter most. “As long as I’m alive, my grandparents will not be forgotten. . . . I hear their voices in the letters they sent me and in my memories. They offer comfort, support, and guidance, and I will listen to them always.”

Dyer. Now Mastin has written a book based on his spiritual experiences in order to help other young seekers discover their own paths.

Visiting a shaman in Mexico, hiking in Australia, beguiled by the beauty of Thai and Cambodian temples - through his adventures and a growing intimacy with Rachel Lester learns much more about himself than about the foreign landscapes that he explores.

Download or read book Powerful Proof written by Linda Hackenbruck and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2024-10-21 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a world turning from God, how do you prove Him? Are there times in your life when you want to share your love of God and His reality, but you don’t know how? How can you do so in a loving, non-threatening way? In Powerful Proof, Linda Hackenbruck shares with you her personal stories of God’s love and transforming power; stories she shares when asked why she lives for God. They span decades of loving and living for Him and are filled with His miracles. Throughout her life, God stayed with her, as her confidant, comforting her in trials and answering her simple prayers in unexpected ways. His deep love led her through pain and suffering, harm to her infant daughter and the death of her son. As she was broken and emptied of herself, God changed her for His purposes and use in His kingdom, finally filling her with unbelievable joy. The following are glimpses into what He has done: *How He used a broken tail light to save her son from continuing down a dark path. *How He saved her infant daughter’s life after autopsy papers and a burial outfit had been requested *How, after three years of trying to forgive the doctor who had hurt her baby, God completed her forgiveness in the most unlikely way. *How, after decades of prayer, her father experienced two miracles and came to know God as personal and loving. *How He delivered a new dishwasher to her front door, even though she had “given up” dishwashers. *How her young daughter prayed for a Christmas pageant dress and it arrived in a paper bag, on the front porch, two days before the pageant. *How He saved her husband from stage 4 cancer through prayer and His intervention. Linda will share truths she has learned in her lifetime of trusting God: *He is always trustworthy. *Giving up your will in obedience to His brings abundant blessing. *You can trust Him with your children, whether He miraculously saves them or shocks you by taking them home to Himself. *He always hears our prayers and answers them in His time and in unexpected ways. *He talks directly to us in ways we can understand. *He is able to heal us physically and emotionally. *He loves an honest and humble heart. *He can take our anger and pain and turn them to joy. *If we ask, He will give us wisdom in our life situations. *We can’t out love God. Our world is working hard to make Jesus, God and the Holy Spirit irrelevant and foolish. Many people struggle with believing in Them. When asked why she lives for God and can be so sure He is real, Linda tells them God is not only real but is lovingly involved in her everyday life. She shares her stories and people listen, because they are stories of God in action. They are stories of a God they can relate to and a God they can believe in. They are her absolute truth as she has lived it. She joyfully shares them with you.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A powerful and honest account based on three decades of true-life experience Award-winning The Branches We Cherish weaves together thought-provoking, joyous, and poignant reflections of four birth parents, birth grandmothers, adoptive parents, and two adopted children. In 1992, Linda and David long to have a child. They decide to adopt a baby and learn they can only do so under an open arrangement where the biological parents and the adoptive family know each other's identities, and choose to remain in contact after the adoption is finalized ... possibly for life! There are no ready answers to their many questions: What happens in the first year? Twenty years later? What does visitation between birth and adoptive families look like? Will it be awkward to raise a child with the birth parents in the picture? How do adopted children feel about this open arrangement? In the early 90's there is little guidance for long-term relationships between adoptive and birth families, so Linda and David have to learn as they go. Diving in with open hearts and open minds, they build relationships based on mutual trust, respect, deep gratitude for one another, and most importantly, unconditional love for a child. They learn just how important having the children's birth parents and families in their lives is for everyone's emotional health—including their own. Discover the challenges of open adoption and the extraordinary gratification available to all members of the adoption constellation when they are willing and able to cultivate and maintain these lifetime relationships.

Download or read book The Multilingual Screen written by Tijana Mamula and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2016-06-30 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Multilingual Screen is the first edited volume to offer a wide-ranging exploration of the place of multilingualism in cinema, investigating the ways in which linguistic difference and exchange have shaped, and continue to shape, the medium's history. Moving across a vast array of geographical, historical, and theoretical contexts-from Japanese colonial filmmaking to the French New Wave to contemporary artists' moving image-the essays collected here address the aesthetic, political, and industrial significance of multilingualism in film production and reception. In grouping these works together, The Multilingual Screen discerns and emphasizes the areas of study most crucial to forging a renewed understanding of the relationship between cinema and language diversity. In particular, it reassesses the methodologies and frameworks that have influenced the study of filmic multilingualism to propose that its force is also, and perhaps counterintuitively, a silent one. While most studies of the subject have explored linguistic difference as a largely audible phenomenon-manifested through polyglot dialogues, or through the translation of monolingual dialogues for international audiences-The Multilingual Screen traces some of its unheard histories, contributing to a new field of inquiry based on an attentiveness to multilingualism's work beyond the soundtrack.
