Download or read book Mother s Love written by Luke Foster and published by Austin Macauley Publishers. This book was released on 2023-06-23 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mother’s Love is a series of essays about social issues. I say that my readers know my essays are good for them like broccoli, but the jokes throughout are sort of the cream cheese that makes the essays tasty. I started writing them in 2014 and then picked up where I left off in 2021. Some of the best essays were written while travelling to Brooklyn in New York in 2021. The other more notable essays were written after long beach walks where I would empty my mind out so when I started writing I would only have a heading in mind and then let the rest flow directly out of my subconscious. I often say that my life is sort of a circus that my essays are based on but the Dalai Lama says circuses are fun.

Download or read book Fractured Shadows written by SATINDER K. VIG and published by Annu Aggarwal. This book was released on 2022-03-15 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is dedicated to all Sikhs, Muslims and Hindus who did not forsake their humanity during the partition of India and saved the lives of those who prayed differently even at the cost of their own lives. There is no vanity greater than the spiritual arrogance of the virtuous. A single unseasonal shower and the buried seeds of weeds spring to life to mock at your pseudo status of saintliness. It is not easy to keep spiritual chastity unsullied in a world where everything but truth prevails. Peshawar remains forever the burial ground of empires, armies and ambitions of those that wanted to grow rich at the expense of the EARTH. It will hold aloft only the Stoopas of harbingers of peace and goodwill for fellow humans. Buddha, the mendicant, towers over the landscape enriching the heritage of humanity and the bones of conquerors have enriched the fertile soil of unconquerable Peshawar. The Black Hole is a historical reminder and warning to all future imperialists. It is only in our era that truth is a piece of merchandise that has a limited shelf life as on a departmental store shelf. Falsehood has a rich, fancy wardrobe and need not wear the same ensemble twice. Eternal awareness is the only armor for a seeker of emancipation from the karmic cycle. My book “FS” is just like music, a catharsis that brings out my repressed feelings and memories into consciousness – a cleansing of my soul. “Fitrat ke Maqasid ki Karta hai Nigehbani, Ya Banda-e-Sehrai Ya Mard – e-Kuhistani” The man of the desert or of the mountains are chosen by Nature, for her aims to attain Regarding Afghanistan, Iqbal’s intuition about future-gazing was more insightful than his historical analysis of eras of antiquity. His Marde Kohistani often ran the gauntlets that history since Alexander’s invasion of India threw at him. Armies down the ages have been using the mountainous terrain for onward passage to plunder the prosperous peoples that lay beyond their passes. Fierce tribes, residing these inhospitable hills, given to warring among themselves in normal times were quick to sink their differences and vanquish any intruder daring to force their way through the countryside. Their ruthless tactics were more than a match for any invader. Greeks, Mughals, British, Russians and Americans have tested and tasted Afghan zest for fight and indomitable will to conquer their adversaries on home ground. So far, the tribes were able to scatter their foes and get back to their traditional infighting. American exodus is trying out the Marde-Kohistani by running a different gauntlet. Afghans are forced out of their citadels and fastnesses by internal foes of the same religious persuasion and scattered all over the world as refugees. Till yesterday, contingents of the most powerful, militarized nations won over the trust of 40 Million to step out of their traditional feudal order and join the comity of nations as a nascent modern state. For more than a decade fiercely independent people of Afghanistan reposed faith in the sincerity of their liberators, only to realize the extent of perfidious trap sprung upon them by the occupation armies out of sheer self-interest and preservation instinct. Reprisals visited on the betrayers may not be fast but have no doubt they will be furious. For an Afghan revenge and honor killing are non-negotiable. All this was avoidable till early July and August 2021 saw the most shameful capitulation by the mightiest military on this planet so far. The inevitable has to run its course and Marde Kohistani has to be its chosen instrument albeit from other locations. A similar scenario and fate was faced by me in another era and century in the month of August 1947 with an uncanny resemblance to Afghan betrayal when I fled Lahore. NANAK DEV JEE very wisely exhorted to respect SHABAD (word) and avoid mutilations leading to warfare.

You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.

No matter where people live or what their circumstances may be, everyone needs boundless, restorative love. Gorgeous and uplifting, Tattoos on the Heart amply demonstrates the impact unconditional love can have on your life. As a pastor working in a neighborhood with the highest concentration of murderous gang activity in Los Angeles, Gregory Boyle created an organization to provide jobs, job training, and encouragement so that young people could work together and learn the mutual respect that comes from collaboration. Tattoos on the Heart is a breathtaking series of parables distilled from his twenty years in the barrio. Arranged by theme and filled with sparkling humor and glowing generosity, these essays offer a stirring look at how full our lives could be if we could find the joy in loving others and in being loved unconditionally. From giant, tattooed Cesar, shopping at JCPenney fresh out of prison, we learn how to feel worthy of God’s love. From ten-year-old Lula we learn the importance of being known and acknowledged. From Pedro we understand the kind of patience necessary to rescue someone from the darkness. In each chapter we benefit from Boyle’s wonderful, hard-earned wisdom. Inspired by faith but applicable to anyone trying to be good, these personal, unflinching stories are full of surprising revelations and observations of the community in which Boyle works and of the many lives he has helped save. Erudite, down-to-earth, and utterly heartening, these essays about universal kinship and redemption are moving examples of the power of unconditional love in difficult times and the importance of fighting despair. With Gregory Boyle’s guidance, we can recognize our own wounds in the broken lives and daunting struggles of the men and women in these parables and learn to find joy in all of the people around us. Tattoos on the Heart reminds us that no life is less valuable than another.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn to communicate with your dog—using their language “Good reading for dog lovers and an immensely useful manual for dog owners.”—The Washington Post An Applied Animal Behaviorist and dog trainer with more than twenty years’ experience, Dr. Patricia McConnell reveals a revolutionary new perspective on our relationship with dogs—sharing insights on how “man’s best friend” might interpret our behavior, as well as essential advice on how to interact with our four-legged friends in ways that bring out the best in them. After all, humans and dogs are two entirely different species, each shaped by its individual evolutionary heritage. Quite simply, humans are primates and dogs are canids (as are wolves, coyotes, and foxes). Since we each speak a different native tongue, a lot gets lost in the translation. This marvelous guide demonstrates how even the slightest changes in our voices and in the ways we stand can help dogs understand what we want. Inside you will discover: • How you can get your dog to come when called by acting less like a primate and more like a dog • Why the advice to “get dominance” over your dog can cause problems • Why “rough and tumble primate play” can lead to trouble—and how to play with your dog in ways that are fun and keep him out of mischief • How dogs and humans share personality types—and why most dogs want to live with benevolent leaders rather than “alpha wanna-bes!” Fascinating, insightful, and compelling, The Other End of the Leash is a book that strives to help you connect with your dog in a completely new way—so as to enrich that most rewarding of relationships.

Download or read book Barking to the Choir written by Gregory Boyle and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-11-14 with total page 3 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a moving example of unconditional love in dif­ficult times, Gregory Boyle, the Jesuit priest and New York Times bestselling author of Tattoos on the Heart, shares what working with gang members in Los Angeles has taught him about faith, compassion, and the enduring power of kinship. In his first book, Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion, Gregory Boyle introduced us to Homeboy Industries, the largest gang-intervention program in the world. Critics hailed that book as an “astounding literary and spiritual feat” (Publishers Weekly) that is “destined to become a classic of both urban reportage and contemporary spirituality” (Los Angeles Times). Now, after the suc­cessful expansion of Homeboy Industries, Boyle returns with Barking to the Choir to reveal how com­passion is transforming the lives of gang members. In a nation deeply divided and plagued by poverty and violence, Barking to the Choir offers a snapshot into the challenges and joys of life on the margins. Sergio, arrested at age nine, in a gang by age twelve, and serving time shortly thereafter, now works with the substance-abuse team at Homeboy to help others find sobriety. Jamal, abandoned by his family when he tried to attend school at age seven, gradually finds forgive­ness for his schizophrenic mother. New father Cuco, who never knew his own dad, thinks of a daily adventure on which to take his four-year-old son. These former gang members uplift the soul and reveal how bright life can be when filled with unconditional love and kindness. This book is guaranteed to shake up our ideas about God and about people with a glimpse at a world defined by more compassion and fewer barriers. Gently and humorously, Barking to the Choir invites us to find kinship with one another and re-convinces us all of our own goodness.
