Download or read book Some of the Most Encouraging Poems for You written by Michelle Marie Richardson and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2018-04-04 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We all face some major and some minor challenges that may move us to seek Gods voice in it all. These challenges perhaps make us question our faith or become tempted to stop trying, stop following, or stop turning to or loving the Word of God, Jesus Christ. But once we earnestly seek, we do receive and come out better on the other side just because weve taken that step of faith, even though it may start out to be as small as a mustard seed. Furthermore, being unprepared for an oncoming difficulty can throw us off track and leave us shaken due to grief, discouragement, or temptation in the end. Resources such as the Bible and positive literature are a blessing, and when taken advantage of, they offer treasures and just what we need to get through this life and on to the next as conquerors, strong, bold, and fully equipped in the Lord. Moreover, getting along well with others and being good and faithful servants is something we can do to greatly improve our spiritual lives. So when there is no one else qualified to turn to without making matters worse or when no one else seems to say the right words, it is wise to tap into the various resources that can actually help without causing major setbacks. This book of simple, unsophisticated, easy to read poetry is one of those resources.

Book excerpt: This wide-ranging collection of inspirational poetry and prose offers readers solace, perspective, and the courage to persevere. In times of personal hardship or collective anxiety, words have the power to provide comfort, meaning, and hope. The past year has seen a resurgence of poetry and inspiring quotes—posted on social media, appearing on bestseller lists, shared from friend to friend. Honoring this communal spirit, How Lovely the Ruins is a timeless collection of both classic and contemporary poetry and short prose that can be of help in difficult times—selections that offer wisdom and purpose, and that allow us to step out of our current moment to gain a new perspective on the world around us as well as the world within. The poets and writers featured in this book represent the diversity of our country as well as voices beyond our borders, including Maya Angelou, W. H. Auden, Danez Smith, Rumi, Emily Dickinson, Naomi Shihab Nye, Alice Walker, Adam Zagajewski, Langston Hughes, Wendell Berry, Anna Akhmatova, Yehuda Amichai, and Robert Frost. And the book opens with a stunning foreword by Elizabeth Alexander, whose poem “Praise Song for the Day,” delivered at the inauguration of President Barack Obama, ushered in an era of optimism. In works celebrating our capacity for compassion, our patriotism, our right to protest, and our ability to persevere, How Lovely the Ruins is a beacon that illuminates our shared humanity, allowing us connection in a fractured world.

Download or read book The Happy Body written by Aniela & Jerzy Gregorek and published by The Happy Body Press. This book was released on 2015-07-15 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Becoming lean and fit is not a matter of training for a few weeks, like Rocky, to become a world champion. That only happens in Hollywood movies that portray professional athletes exercising for hours every day until they are exhausted. Real athletes never do that. They train only to the point that they can recover for the next day s training. Their progress comes in small increments, not heroic triumphs. Unfortunately, movies have persuaded people that they can become lean and fit virtually overnight. Even the weight loss and fitness industry bought into this distortion and began pushing people to become like Rocky. When that approach failed, because people were injuring themselves or burning out or jumping from one program to another, trainers began to entertain their clients instead of finding solutions to their problems. If you want to become truly lean and fit, you must work at it like an athlete, following a structured routine and that is easier and more pleasant than you may expect. The principles that work for athletes also work for ordinary people of all ages. Athletes, of course, have coaches. The Happy Body program, on the other hand, will teach you everything you need to know to be your own coach. This innovative program establishes, for the first time, exact scientific and testable methods and goals to engineer your own weight loss and fitness within precise time periods. That empowers you to self-correct your progress at every step. The Happy Body is a total health program, not just an exercise or diet plan. It will teach you to safely lose 1.0 to 2.5 pounds every week, and keep them off, without getting stuck at plateaus. You will have full control over the process, right down to the ounce. In addition to teaching you how to lose weight, the program will also help you to restore the flexibility and posture you had as a young child, and to be leaner, stronger, and faster than you have ever been. In essence, The Happy Body program will not only make you as youthful as you were at twenty, but twenty as you would have been if you had followed the program at that age.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: She is more special than any of you may imagine! Down deep, you may sense it, too! Who is she? Alfrieda Hylton is an African American native born in Washington, DC and raised in a small town called Dumfries, Virginia. Both of her parents are deceased. She is the third oldest of nine children and eight of them are still living. She has been married twice and divorced twice. She also has four sons living. God had a plan for her to find her way back to Him! In 2008, God inspired her to write poetry about her life-learning lessons, challenges, setbacks, and heartaches that she experienced and suppressed for many years. Her very essence of being is to inspire and be a blessing to others through her poetry; because we so often hold back our bad experiences and don’t resolve the very things that haunt us. Those devastating scars etched into your memory we shun away from are known as: anger, blame, humiliation, abuse, addiction, and fear. No matter what happen and appeared as failure, Happiness kept her delightful, trials kept her strong, sorrows kept her human, failures kept her humble, success kept her glowing, and God kept her going to win the good fight victoriously. One of her famous quote’s by Bernice Johnson Reagon, "Life ́s challenges are not supposed to paralyze you; they are supposed to help you discover who you are."
