Download or read book Love in the New Millennium written by Can Xue and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2018-11-20 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most ambitious work of fiction by a writer widely considered the most important novelist working in China today In this darkly comic novel, a group of women inhabits a world of constant surveillance, where informants lurk in the flowerbeds and false reports fly. Conspiracies abound in a community that normalizes paranoia and suspicion. Some try to flee—whether to a mysterious gambling bordello or to ancestral homes that can only be reached underground through muddy caves, sewers, and tunnels. Others seek out the refuge of Nest County, where traditional Chinese herbal medicines can reshape or psychologically transport the self. Each life is circumscribed by buried secrets and transcendent delusions. Can Xue's masterful love stories for the new millennium trace love's many guises—satirical, tragic, transient, lasting, nebulous, and fulfilling—against a kaleidoscopic backdrop drawn from East and West of commerce and industry, fraud and exploitation, sex and romance.

Download or read book Starved written by Amy Seiffert and published by Tyndale House Publishers. This book was released on 2023-03-21 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We're consuming, we're filling up, we're taking in, but at the end of the day, our souls are still starving. So many of us feel dissatisfied and empty--emotionally, physically, and even spiritually. Our lives are rushed, overflowing, and we're low on joy, fulfillment, peace, and purpose. In our spare moments, we turn to our phones, social media, and a million other little things, desperate for relief, but over time, these distractions become an unhealthy diet for our souls--uplifting us for a moment but ultimately denying us the nourishment we need. When we overconsume these imposters that promise a temporary boost but actually leave us weak and weary, we become anxious, fearful, and depleted. These addicting substitutes keep us coming back for more, never providing satisfaction. But there is hope. We don't have to stay stuck and malnourished. We can become free of shame, disappointment, and anxiety. In Starved, popular author and teacher Amy Seiffert shows readers how to stop ingesting spiritual junk food and offers simple and replenishing practices like silence, service, and Sabbath that can bring us closer to Jesus. She encourages us to put down our phones, set aside our pride, and let go of the hustle so that we can receive a spiritual diet change that will leave us delightfully content, spiritually healthy, and free to experience the goodness of Jesus.

Download or read book The Starved Senses written by Charisse Goodman and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2010-09 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Starved Senses is a powerful and disturbing story from a witness to the worst mass shooting in San Francisco's history: the 101 California Street Massacre. It follows three outsiders across two weeks in the summer of 1993: John, a struggling businessman with a long-simmering grudge; Rachel, a San Francisco legal assistant wandering in solitude; and Emmett, a bullied Bay Area teenager. Although they never meet, they are forever connected by a horrific act of violence, each one driven by an inner starvation and ultimately forced to choose between life and death. Are they failures? Are they insane? Or are they the products of a desperate, soul-consuming culture where meaningful human contact can seem like an impossible dream? In its exploration of the forces that disconnect people from one another, from themselves, and from life itself, The Starved Senses is an indictment of humanity's fatal flaw - the predatory desire for cruelty without consequences. Charisse Goodman is a graduate of California State University. A long-time resident of the San Francisco Bay Area, she is also the author of the 1995 nonfiction book, The Invisible Woman: Confronting Weight Prejudice In America.

Your marriage can again have renewed tenderness, intimate closeness, and intense passion. In Starved for Affection, you'll find practical help and encouragement to strengthen your connection with your mate in all aspects of your relationship.

Download or read book Out of Touch written by Michelle Drouin and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2022-02-01 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A behavioral scientist explores love, belongingness, and fulfillment, focusing on how modern technology can both help and hinder our need to connect. A Next Big Idea Club nominee. Millions of people around the world are not getting the physical, emotional, and intellectual intimacy they crave. Through the wonders of modern technology, we are connecting with more people more often than ever before, but are these connections what we long for? Pandemic isolation has made us even more alone. In Out of Touch, Professor of Psychology Michelle Drouin investigates what she calls our intimacy famine, exploring love, belongingness, and fulfillment and considering why relationships carried out on technological platforms may leave us starving for physical connection. Drouin puts it this way: when most of our interactions are through social media, we are taking tiny hits of dopamine rather than the huge shots of oxytocin that an intimate in-person relationship would provide. Drouin explains that intimacy is not just sex—although of course sex is an important part of intimacy. But how important? Drouin reports on surveys that millennials (perhaps distracted by constant Tinder-swiping) have less sex than previous generations. She discusses pandemic puppies, professional cuddlers, the importance of touch, “desire discrepancy” in marriage, and the value of friendships. Online dating, she suggests, might give users too many options; and the internet facilitates “infidelity-related behaviors.” Some technological advances will help us develop and maintain intimate relationships—our phones, for example, can be bridges to emotional support. Some, on the other hand, might leave us out of touch. Drouin explores both of these possibilities.

Download or read book Resilient written by Ron Luce and published by Charisma Media. This book was released on 2014-09-02 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If your foundation is faulty, how will you stand? We live in a “feel-good” culture. Somehow in a world where emotions were meant to enhance our lives we’ve allowed them to dominate. What’s more, we’re told that if we don’t follow our feelings we’re not being authentic. It is no wonder that this attitude follows us into our churches. As a result, when problems arise or good things don't happen as we expect, we question our faith, wondering why God doesn’t care. Resilient explores the watered-down, feel-good ways the Christian faith is often presented that result in a shaky foundation. Sharing the real-life struggle he experienced when his oldest daughter, Hannah, almost died during a plane crash that claimed the lives of four of her friends, Ron Luce shows you how to: · Train yourself for endurance rather than just strength · Build your confidence in God when you don’t understand · Develop a resilient faith that will get you through the good and the bad
