Book excerpt: Satans hold on men through pornography has been well-documented and addressed in Christian circles in recent years. But what about women? How does the enemy of our souls snare the feminine sex? What men do physically, women do emotionally. In many of our homes, women spend countless hours on movies, books, social media, texting, fantasizing, and inappropriate relationships. If Satan cannot get us to take part in evil, he delights in saturating our minds with it. Even when we are wise enough to avoid directly participating in immorality, the mental and emotional impact of that saturation can unfold in hurt, disappointment, and broken marriages. Emotional purity is just as important as physical purity, because ultimately, it is a reflection of our hearts. Nothing Gray About It: Emotional Purity Before a Holy God presents our battle plan for applying the power of Proverbs 4:23: Guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.

Download or read book Nothing to Tell written by Donna Gray and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2012-05-01 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sitting at the kitchen tables of twelve women in their eighties who were born in or immigrated to Montana in the late nineteenth or early twentieth century, between 1982 and 1988 oral historian Donna Gray conducted interviews that reveal a rich heritage. In retelling their life stories, Gray steps aside and allows theses women with supposedly “nothing to tell” to speak for themselves. Pride, nostalgia, and triumph fill a dozen hearts as they realize how remarkable their lives have been and wonder how they did it all. Some of these women grew up in Montana in one-bedroom houses; others traveled in covered wagons before finding a home and falling in love with Montana. These raw accounts bring to life the childhood memories and adulthood experiences of ranch wives who were not afraid to milk a cow or bake in a wooden stove. From raising poultry to raising a family, these women knew the meaning of hard work. Several faced the hardships of family illness, poverty, and early widowhood. Through it all, they were known for their good sense of humor and strong sense of self.

Book excerpt: ** A New York Times Bestseller ** NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY: Time • The New Yorker • NPR • GQ • Elle • Vulture • Fortune • Boing Boing • The Irish Times • The New York Public Library • The Brooklyn Public Library "A complex, smart and ambitious book that at first reads like a self-help manual, then blossoms into a wide-ranging political manifesto."—Jonah Engel Bromwich, The New York Times Book Review One of President Barack Obama's "Favorite Books of 2019" Porchlight's Personal Development & Human Behavior Book of the Year In a world where addictive technology is designed to buy and sell our attention, and our value is determined by our 24/7 data productivity, it can seem impossible to escape. But in this inspiring field guide to dropping out of the attention economy, artist and critic Jenny Odell shows us how we can still win back our lives. Odell sees our attention as the most precious—and overdrawn—resource we have. And we must actively and continuously choose how we use it. We might not spend it on things that capitalism has deemed important … but once we can start paying a new kind of attention, she writes, we can undertake bolder forms of political action, reimagine humankind’s role in the environment, and arrive at more meaningful understandings of happiness and progress. Far from the simple anti-technology screed, or the back-to-nature meditation we read so often, How to do Nothing is an action plan for thinking outside of capitalist narratives of efficiency and techno-determinism. Provocative, timely, and utterly persuasive, this book will change how you see your place in our world.

Distracting herself with racing, she doesn’t have to remember. But it looks like someone is trying to take her out, not only of the race, but life itself. Now she is caught up with a fugitive and illegal mines. And there was good reason why the liquid metal that had once been so integral to the working of the universe was outlawed. She might be far more involved than she would like to be. Drawn back into a world she would rather forget, and certain she will die this time, Isla begins to remember why she should not have survived the first time.

Download or read book Little Crazy Children written by James Renner and published by Citadel Press. This book was released on 2023-06-27 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new true-crime book from the acclaimed author of TRUE CRIME ADDICT and creator/host of the podcasts True Crime This Week and The Philosophy of Crime! James Renner explores the unsolved murder of 16-year-old Lisa Pruett in the real-life town of the bestselling novel Little Fires Everywhere in a painstakingly researched account of a senseless and heartbreaking tragedy and the people who were pulled into its aftermath. In September of 1990, in the Cleveland suburb of Shaker Heights, sixteen-year-old Lisa Pruett, a poetry lover and member of a church youth group, was on her way to a midnight tryst with her boyfriend, when she was viciously stabbed to death only thirty feet from the boy’s home. The murder cast a palpable gloom over the upscale community and sparked accusations, theories, and rumors among Lisa’s friends and peers. Together they wove a damning narrative that circled back to a likely suspect: “weird” high school outcast Kevin Young. Without a shred of evidence the teen was arrested, charged, and tried for the crime. His eventual acquittal didn’t squelch the anger and outrage among those who believed that Kevin got away with murder. With a fresh perspective and painstaking research culled from police files, court records, transcripts, uncollected evidence, and new interviews, James Renner reconstructs the events leading up to and following that heartbreaking night. What emerges is a portrait of a community seething with dark undercurrents—its single-minded authorities, protective status-conscious parents, and the deeply peer-pressured teens within Lisa’s circle. Who had the capacity for such unchecked violence? What monsters still lurk in the dark? After more than thirty years, questions like these continue to fester among the community of Shaker Heights, Ohio, still deeply scarred by wounds that remain hidden, unspoken, and unhealed.
