Book excerpt: "A fresh look at infidelity, broadening the focus from the havoc it wreaks within a committed relationship to consider also why people do it, what it means to them, and why breaking up is the expected response to duplicity — but not necessarily the wisest one.” — LA Review of Books From iconic couples’ therapist and bestselling author of Mating in Captivity comes a provocative and controversial look at infidelity with practical, honest, and empathetic advice for how to move beyond it. An affair: it can rob a couple of their relationship, their happiness, their very identity. And yet, this extremely common human experience is so poorly understood. What are we to make of this time-honored taboo—universally forbidden yet universally practiced? Why do people cheat—even those in happy marriages? Why does an affair hurt so much? When we say infidelity, what exactly do we mean? Do our romantic expectations of marriage set us up for betrayal? Is there such a thing as an affair-proof marriage? Is it possible to love more than one person at once? Can an affair ever help a marriage? Perel weaves real-life case stories with incisive psychological and cultural analysis in this fast-paced and compelling book. For the past ten years, Perel has traveled the globe and worked with hundreds of couples who have grappled with infidelity. Betrayal hurts, she writes, but it can be healed. An affair can even be the doorway to a new marriage—with the same person. With the right approach, couples can grow and learn from these tumultuous experiences, together or apart. Affairs, she argues, have a lot to teach us about modern relationships—what we expect, what we think we want, and what we feel entitled to. They offer a unique window into our personal and cultural attitudes about love, lust, and commitment. Through examining illicit love from multiple angles, Perel invites readers into an honest, enlightened, and entertaining exploration of modern marriage in its many variations. Fiercely intelligent, The State of Affairs provides a daring framework for understanding the intricacies of love and desire. As Perel observes, “Love is messy; infidelity more so. But it is also a window, like no other, into the crevices of the human heart.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The only thing Savara knows for certain is that she doesn't belong... anywhere. Stripped of all memories of her childhood and robbed of the last remnants of her unorthodox family, Savara is left to fear the lonely nights in the darkened house whose walls contain as many secrets as they do cobwebs. But something in her soul tells her she doesn't belong here—doesn't belong anywhere. Her only salvation? A best friend with his head stuck in history books and a mercenary from a foreign land who claims he has come to take her home. Savara is whisked away to a world of fantasy in which elemental magic reigns supreme and where shadows are spirits of the past and keepers of long-forgotten secrets—her secrets. As she fights to regain her missing memories, she uncovers a deadly truth that threatens to plunge the world into darkness. Worse still, it's all her fault. Armed with this terrible understanding, Savara must hide her true nature at all costs or risk hurting her newfound family and the one she loves most, but the clock is ticking and the enemies draw near. A ruthless mafia don on a revenge crusade. A secretive apprentice with a hidden agenda. A cruel military dictator. And of course... the Prince of Shadows himself. The shadows of the past have awakened with a thirst for blood. Will she be able to stop them from devouring everything in their path? Or will she fall victim to her own demons? Sadly, if her quest for meaning has taught her anything, it's that not all fantasies are dreams come true, and that the truth is most often paid for in blood. PERFECT FOR FANS OF...

Download or read book Keeping Alive the Rumor of God written by Martin Camroux and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-08-21 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Can't you hear those little bells tinkling? Down on your knees! They're bringing the sacraments to a dying God," wrote Heinrich Heine in 1834. It took a while but today it is happening. Across the Western world the traditional picture of God is dying, and institutional religion collapsing. Today we are trying something never done before, living with no agreed narrative that tells us who we are and with a materialist view of life. It isn't enough. An idea of God may have died but the mystery of our human life is of an inner depth which is not simply physical or material. Marvel, mystery, wonder, beauty, love, the numinous, the mysterium tremendum, remain the essence of who we are. What I am trying to do is describe this experience in such a way that those who have not had it can get a glimpse of it from inside and understand how it can give a life meaning and purpose. This is explored through a liberal Christian tradition committed to social justice and honest exploration. Scripture is vital to this but so are art, poetry, music, and beauty. When most people are looking the other way, we must keep the rumor of God alive.
