Download or read book Everybody Fights written by Kim Holderness and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2021-03-30 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestseller! Learn how to fight better and end your arguments with your partner feeling closer, more loved, and better understood. We take our cars in for oil changes. We mow our lawns and pull weeds. Why don't we do maintenance on our marriages? This relationship is the most important one we will ever have, so why not get better at it? For the last several years, Penn and Kim Holderness of The Holderness Family have done the hard maintenance and the research to learn how to fight better. With the help of their marriage coach Dr. Christopher Edmonston, they break down their biggest (and in some cases, funniest) fights. How did a question about chicken wings turn into a bra fight (no, not a bar fight or a bra fight)? How did a roll of toilet paper lead to tears, resentment, and a stint in the guest bedroom? With their trademark sense of humor and complete vulnerability, Penn and Kim share their 10 most common Fight Fails and how to combat them. Throughout the book, they offer scripts for how to start, continue, and successfully close hard conversations. Couples will emerge equipped to engage and understand, not do battle—and maybe laugh a little more along the way. In Everybody Fights, couples will learn how to: Use "magic words" for healthy conflict resolution Address unspoken and unrealistic expectations Banish the three Ds of unhealthy communication—distraction, denial, and delay Carry individual baggage while helping your partner deal with theirs Penn and Kim want you to know you're not alone. Everybody fights. Marriage is messy. Marriage is work. But marriage is worth it. Fight for it!

Download or read book Beyond Parochial Faith written by Jeanette Blonigen Clancy and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-05-28 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beyond Parochial Faith: A Catholic Confesses weaves the author's personal story of woundedness and healing with her spiritual evolution. While working through and growing from personal relationships, Clancy wrestles with large questions of life's meaning. Her spiritual transformation allows no denial of God's existence, but her rational mind cannot accept the Christian Father/Son myth. She moves from parochial faith to faith informed by science, world religions, and the arguments of atheists. Clancy denounces what she calls sexist God-talk and espouses "secular spirituality," while also honoring Jesus and religious myths for being avenues to transcendence. Beyond Parochial Faith shows a deeply spiritual life independent of religion's dictates. "Nones," the Goddess, sexual assault, the #MeToo movement, and a gay priest play roles in this story. The author's questioning epitomizes Western spiritual evolution in the twenty-first century.

Download or read book Fast Forward written by Eric Spitznagel and published by Manic D Press. This book was released on 2006-04-01 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Like most pornography, I found Fast Forward to be a relentless and indecent assault on the traditional family values that Americans find most sacred. Makes a great stocking stuffer."—Amy Sedaris With dreams of becoming a highly respected screenwriter, Eric Spitznagel moves to Los Angeles. When Hollywood fails to notice him, he settles for the next best thing: writing scripts for adult films. Determined to make the most of his bad luck, he sets out to make a movie that will be celebrated more for its witty dialogue and gripping plot than its raw depictions of hardcore sex. As Spitznagel discovers, making the Great American Porn is far from easy, especially when you've been hired to write a sequel to Butt Crazy. Spitznagel struggles to be taken seriously as an artist, a seeming impossibility in an industry averse to “complicated words.” Along the way, he meets a director with delusions of being the porn Kurosawa, an actress with a scholarly knowledge of medical maladies, and an NBA star who might just make the biggest mistake of his life. In an industry devoted to churning out disposable erotica, can one lowly writer make an adult film that compels viewers to admire the plot without hovering a thumb over the fast forward button? Eric Spitznagel is the author of four humor books, including The Junk Food Companion: A Celebration of Eating Badly (Plume, 1999). His writing appears frequently in Playboy, Esquire, Harper's Magazine, and The Believer.

Download or read book Except for All the Snakes I Just Love It Out Here written by L. Lee Cowan and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2009-11 with total page 242 pages.

Cowan's unique, strong voice let's you see, like a live performance, the adventures and challenges she and her husband face as they leave behind careers, cities, and pavement to create new lives. Her conversational style will remind you of letters from a favorite cousin as she weaves profound insights into whacky situations. Open descriptions of the hard confrontations and choices in her marriage, life, and cultural changes are right next to recipes for custard pie and potato soup. Wine enthusiasts, exhausted professionals dreaming of escape, sailors, artists, couples determined to stay married, gardeners, pet lovers, and everyone who enjoys true adventure gone awry will relate to this exceptionally personal journal. Charmed, they may find themselves comparing Cowan's work to Erma Bombeck, Garrison Keiler, or Anne Lamott. Lee Cowan lives deep in the woods of the Arkansas Ozark Mountains with her husband, two dogs, and a cat. These Beings, physical health, a blessed multitude of The World's Best Friends, offspring, and plenty of money render her life bearable. She's been lost and confused much of it. Wandering around the United States and the world in her quest for belonging and meaning, she kept returning to Arkansas. Her internal journey and willingness to take on the unknown led to a variety of experiences with spirituality, relationships, and vocations. Over time, she became a psychotherapist, making a decent living and occasionally helping someone. At 61, she's still in transition. This is Lee's first book, and she hopes you in-joy every bite of it. If you do, you can order more, and see her visual art, at www.StoneCountyArt.com.

Download or read book Nailed It written by Roxanne Ocampo and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-10-25 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Students get one shot to tell their story to the admissions readers. Will the student nail it? Or, will the essay be like the majority of essays filtered through admissions: uninspiring, boring, and lackluster? Unfortunately, many students approach their essays unsuccessfully by underselling their story, failing to notice common errors, or missing the mark altogether. Not anymore. In this one-of-a-kind book, Quetzal Mama shares her tips, strategies, and secrets to help students nail the college essay. Students will see first-hand examples of how to pick the right prompt, how to effectively market their profile, how best to articulate unique qualities, and how to avoid some common mistakes.This book is unique compared to other essay writing books for three reasons. First, the top-selling books on college essays predominantly feature stories and experiences of middle to high income students, from privileged backgrounds, who do not belong to an historically underrepresented minority group. This book focuses exclusively on the unique cultural and sociopolitical implications of historically underrepresented students.Second, the content includes culturally-relevant theoretical models and strategies including frameworks such as Los Huesos, the Ganas Principle, the TIN CASA rubric, and “The Personal Statement is like a Taco de Carne Asada.”Lastly, students will read actual essays from other students across the US who used Quetzal Mama's methods to obtain admission to selective colleges like Harvard, Stanford, and Berkeley.This book contains Quetzal Mama's essay writing expertise gained from working with thousands of high school students over the last five years. Quetzal Mama uses humor to engage students, and writes in a “motherly” tone that “keeps it real.” She gets right to the point, without sugar-coating the realities of selective college admissions.
