Download or read book The Long Grief Journey written by Pamela D Blair PhD and published by Sourcebooks, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-02-14 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An essential grief guide and recovery workbook for those who have said, "I thought I'd feel better by now." Grief does not follow a timeline or a set path. It is nonlinear and messy, doubling back on itself just when you thought you were out of the woods. Those who have experienced the loss of a loved one know this unequivocally, but Western society still seems to think that grief should only last six months to a year—tops—when in fact, grief can last throughout a person's entire life and manifest as serious mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, anger, and despair. The Long Grief Journey, co-written by a psychotherapist and a clinical psychologist who have both worked with grieving individuals for decades, is for the people who are past the acute pain and effects of a sudden loss and are now learning to live beyond that. It is for those who by all appearances seem to have "moved on." They're working, carrying out their responsibilities, showing up for important life events, yet they quietly bear the weight of their sadness and longing for their loved one. There's a name for this type of long-term, unresolved grief. In fact, there are several: complicated grief, traumatic grief, complex bereavement, prolonged grief, extended grief, abnormal grief, exaggerated grief, and pervasive grief disorder. If you feel "stuck" after experiencing the death of a loved one, even if much time has passed, this book is for you. With exercises, journal prompts, and rituals that will further help readers along their grief path, The Long Grief Journey, co-written by one of the authors of the classic grief book, I Wasn't Ready to Say Goodbye, is designed to educate, support, and coach you to rekindle a desire to live life fully, all while still cherishing and embracing the memories of your loved one. Named one of Choosing Therapy's "14 Best Books on Losing a Parent for 2022."
Download or read book Sea Glass Promises written by Annie Mac and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-09-27 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everybody has a story. We are inspired by people who are able to dodge adversity and trials. However, the most inspirational are those who are knocked off their feet and have the audacity and courage to stand, rise or walk again. The reassurances of God, the promises that we can stand on and build upon, enable us to better cope with life's challenges. Like washed up sea glass on a beach, the process of "broken to beautiful" requires tumbling and friction but our stories do not have to end at broken. Beloved, broken is half the story. Written with poetic flair, this book shares the insight gleaned from what we can learn from sea glass. Relying on the promises of God, in the process of refinement and beautification, gives us strength to endure. Every wound can be a scar, every scar can be a trophy, every trophy can be a testimony on the path to beautiful and inspiring. This 40-day devotional with promise scriptures, original poems and questions for reflection will inspire and encourage you in your own journeys. Annie Mac, author of Look Beyond.. Ocean of Pain to Horizon of Purpose, is a God lover, wife, mother, and educator. She is inspired by the reading of God's Word and being in tuned with His downloads, her personal experiences, observation of others and nature. Her mission is to help others discover that there could be beauty after the rain, after the fire, after the storm, after brokenness. God's promises are foolproof.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first mainstream book about meditative practice rock balancing—with practical guidance on letting go of limiting beliefs and finding happiness in the present moment Rock balancing is the practice of piling up stones in natural settings, creating everything from simple towers to amazingly elaborate and apparently gravity-defying edifices. People balance rocks for fun, to challenge themselves, and to connect to nature and focus on the present moment. This is the first mainstream book about the meditative art of rock balancing, combining technical advice with spectacular color photographs of the author’s own balances, as well as guidance on approaching rock balancing as a mindfulness meditation practice. As the book guides you through the practical techniques of rock balancing, it also explains how to breathe properly, how to approach the rocks with self-belief, and how to face fear and go beyond what you had previously thought to be your limits. Finally, it discusses how to let go and destroy the balances you have created, leaving nature in a pristine state. The book includes inspirational quotes, tips and step-by-step instructions for beginner and more advanced rock balancers, meditative exercises to do while balancing, and fun challenges. A rock balance is a metaphor for whatever you are trying to achieve in life—and this practice allows you to train yourself to do more than you ever thought possible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While Jesus died slowly and painfully on a cross at Golgotha, three men, in a Jerusalem upper room, sat in on a sinister resurrection conspiracy which they never thought would change world history Who were these men? What were their motives? Who was the young man in long white garment the disciples found sitting in Jesus tomb on the morning of Jesus resurrection (Mark 16:5). What happened to the body of Jesus missing on the resurrection morning? Maverick Professor John Thomas Didymus a creative but sensitive mind unable to find succor in the age-old traditions of Christianity receives, while recuperating on a psychiatric hospital bed on the Isle of Patmos, healing divine visitations and empowering trumpet-call revelations of new Gospel truth. He reviews the historical evidence for a conspiracy theory of the resurrection in a compelling but disturbing alternative historical account of behind-the-gospel-scene political power intrigue and counter-intrigue trailing the ministry of Jesus from Galilee to Judea, Golgotha, the resurrection conspiracy and beyond. Rebounding, finally, from the depths of mental illness, back to his job at the university, and now succored by his former nurse Mary Magdalene, John Thomas Didymus 's career builds up into an apocalyptic confrontation with his colleagues of the ivory towers who ridicule his alternative gospel his pet Metaphysical Theory of Everything: A theory designed to grasp the entire spacetime fabric of reality in one fell swoop. A theory, the cognitive mutations of a mind functioning precariously, dangerously on the edge of mental chaos, beyond mere genius, bearing his cross, amid hostile jeers and taunts, Christ-like to Golgotha, on a lonely, narrow, ascending cognitive bio-evolutionary pathway to infinity

Book excerpt: Is it always with brothers and sisters that there are those days when you just don’t see eye-to-eye on much of anything? It is on those days that we wonder...was I adopted or what?

Download or read book God Science and Reason written by Michael Bunner and published by Tate Publishing. This book was released on 2013-04 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most persons have been led to believe there is a "war" between science and religion. Over the past generation, "New Atheist" icons such as Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Daniel Dennett, and Christopher Hitchens have fueled this erroneous belief with provocative best-selling books which herald the triumph of science over God. To date, the scientific and philosophical responses made by persons of faith to these New Atheist affronts have made only a little noise, like warning shots fired across the bow of a ship. No more. In God, Science, and Reason, Michael Bunner, a scientist who also believes in God, takes direct aim at the belief systems of the New Atheists and the world view they espouse. He not only exposes the flaws in their own logic and rationale, but also presents well-reasoned and compelling scientific and philosophical arguments that reveal and decimate their belief systems. In the process, he demonstrates that the war between science and religion is nothing more than an illusion concocted and sustained by those who have rejected God. He also makes a persuasive case that we can understand reality only when we view the world through the lenses of both science and religion.

Download or read book Parachute Minds Leap of Fate written by Jeremiah Sanchez and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2021-01-21 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parachute Minds: Leap of Faith By: Jeremiah Sanchez Traveler explains it was during his people's third phase that they discovered elastic light. By harnessing light’s elasticity, they were able to explore the universe, healing with each jump. It wasn’t long before they discovered they are not alone. Other habitable worlds exist throughout the cosmos, populated by uniquely evolved Homo sapiens. Their observers confirmed each planet’s humanity goes through the same three phases. Phase one: traveling and mapping one’s world. Phase two: manipulation of tools, agriculture, industry, electricity, and technology. Phase three: exploring beyond one’s planet into the stars. But they traveled too far. They discovered something humanity was never meant to in the farthest reaches of space: The fourth phase. The mysteries held within its unknown are so terrifying that Traveler's people refuse to explore it themselves. He explains that’s why he's come to Earth: to recruit brave souls willing to go where his people dare not. Gideon, a death-seeking adrenaline junky with a disturbing secret, seems the perfect candidate for Traveler’s invitation. He accepts, leaving Earth behind with a wink and a smile, but Traveler worries the gamble may prove to be too much. Gideon’s recklessness could either be the key to unlocking the fourth phase, or the mistake that unleashes humanity’s extinction across the stars.
