Download or read book Fall in Love Have Children Stay Put Save the Planet Be Happy written by Frank Schaeffer and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-11-02 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A post-coronavirus evolution-based how-to for putting living ahead of work. Bestselling author Frank Schaeffer offers a passionate political, social, and lifestyle “blueprint” for changes millions of us know are needed to rebalance our work lives with thriving relationships: Fall in Love, Have Children, Stay Put, Save the Planet, Be Happy. Even before everything was disrupted by COVID-19 (not to mention by Trump), millions of Americans were already questioning capitalism’s “values.” We were already challenging the idea that your job defines you. We already knew something was wrong. Loneliness, frustration, and alienation were already on the rise. Even the most successful of us felt too busy, too preoccupied, and too distracted to enjoy what we intuitively know are life’s greatest rewards: vibrant relationships, family life, connection to others, involvement in our community, and the thrilling experience of love. Fall in Love . . . builds a well-researched and entertaining bridge to living happier lives and to a better future. It shows us that based on a better understanding of our evolutionary selves, we can thrive in family life and in our work life, too. But to do both joyfully—and at the same time—depends on rediscovering the priority of relationships, connections, community, and love.

He expects to be rich before the year is out. But the ranchers are stubborn, the local officials are corrupt, and Bart isn't the first hopeful to arrive.

My father was twice my mothers age and he died leaving her with seven children. We survived the depression by working our farm and growing our food. My brother Elbridge made our father a promise that he would look after us and he kept that promise. He became a father to us. When I was 32 I had a malignant melanoma on my right leg that took my leg and hip. The doctor said I wasnt going to make it. My pastor, family and friends went to the throne of God in prayer for me and they stayed there until I was healed. We were in a Methodist church in New Castle, Indiana and my pastor was Reverend Loran Rapp. To get to my class I had to pass by the senior class. They got hold of me and began to pray and help me by giving me books and material to read on prayer and positive thinking. There was a prayer band that covered the whole town of New Castle, Indiana. All the churches in town prayed for me. I learned early on to call on the old prayer warriors in my church. They know how to reach the throne of God. I had four little children when I lost my leg and there were times I thought I couldnt go on but I put my trust in the one who promised he would never leave me, and with His help I raised my children and now have eight grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. Ive spent my life trying to help cancer patients and amputees by prayer and visits. I pray that this book will help others to cope with their illness and to never give up hope.
