Book excerpt: ‘KUMBA AFRICA’, is a compilation of African Short Stories written as fiction by Sampson Ejike Odum, nostalgically taking our memory back several thousands of years ago in Africa, reminding us about our past heritage. It digs deep into the traditional life style of the Africans of old, their beliefs, their leadership, their courage, their culture, their wars, their defeat and their victories long before the emergence of the white man on the soil of Africa. As a talented writer of rich resource and superior creativity, armed with in-depth knowledge of different cultures and traditions in Africa, the Author throws light on the rich cultural heritage of the people of Africa when civilization was yet unknown to the people. The book reminds the readers that the Africans of old kept their pride and still enjoyed their own lives. They celebrated victories when wars were won, enjoyed their New yam festivals and villages engaged themselves in seasonal wrestling contest etc; Early morning during harmattan season, they gathered firewood and made fire inside their small huts to hit up their bodies from the chilling cold of the harmattan. That was the Africa of old we will always remember. In Africa today, the story have changed. The people now enjoy civilized cultures made possible by the influence of the white man through his scientific and technological process. Yet there are some uncivilized places in Africa whose people haven’t tested or felt the impact of civilization. These people still maintain their ancient traditions and culture. In everything, we believe that days when people paraded barefooted in Africa to the swarmp to tap palm wine and fetch firewood from there farms are almost fading away. The huts are now gradually been replaced with houses built of blocks and beautiful roofs. Thanks to modern civilization. Donkeys and camels are no longer used for carrying heavy loads for merchants. They are now been replaced by heavy trucks and lorries. African traditional methods of healing are now been substituted by hospitals. In all these, I will always love and remember Africa, the home of my birth and must respect her cultures and traditions as an AFRICAN AUTHOR.

Download or read book Snapping written by Flo Conway and published by Stillpoint Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Classic Returns ....In this expanded edition of the 1978 original, Conway and Siegelman continue their study of the altering of the American psyche, which has led to the rise of religious cults, super Christian sects, private citizen militias, and other phenomena that dominate today's headlines. Probably more timely now than when first published, this is an important title for academic and public libraries." - Library Journal "Their book is judicious, sensible, well-researched and very frightening." - New York Times Book Review "It is a book of investigative reporting at its best." - New York Post "What Woodward and Bernstein were to Watergate, Conway and Siegelman may well be to the cults." - United Press International "Credible and chilling . . . The second edition of SNAPPING is as important a resource in understanding spreading societal chaos as the first edition was in explaining the chaos of cults." - Minneapolis Star-Tribune "Important. . . . this book provides a tool to exercise judgment, monitor incoming information, and interpret what has become an increasingly intrusive battle for our minds. . . . At its core, it is language that holds the key to our mental health or to our destruction. What George Orwell's 'Animal Farm' is to literature, 'SNAPPING' is to non-fiction." - Albuquerque Journal "In a prophetic vein. . . . SNAPPING is not only fascinating and frightening reading, it is also extremely well-written. . . . The escalating pattern of cult fanaticism and religious-political terror that the authors call a 'death spiral' seems to be widening. If we do nothing to understand and ultimately reverse that pattern, it will pull more and more innocent people into its vortex." - Cleveland Jewish News "For anyone threatened with snapping, this book is a dispassionate, valuable study of an often frightening phenomenon." - People "There is no doubt that Conway and Siegelman are opening the door on areas of human understanding that have never been examined and that are in urgent need of study." - New Society "SNAPPING is an exciting and responsible and original piece of research that has taught this old poop amazing new ways to think about the human mind." - Kurt Vonnegut "SNAPPING is by far the best and most scientific treatment of the cult problem yet published. For the scientist, politician, clergy or parent, it is valuable and wonderfully readable." - John G. Clark, M.D. Asst. Clinical Professor of Psychiatry Harvard Medical School "Conway and Siegelman . . . place cultic behavior in the wider context of the communication revolution of our time. . . Indeed, SNAPPING unfolds as a traveling detective investigation. . . . they very capably trace and analyze the course of the phenomenon and . . . contribute greatly to our understanding of it." - The Cult Observer "Conway and Siegelman are onto something important. . . . SNAPPING is a fascinating book with frightening implications." - Edward T. Hall, author of The Silent Language " The] classic book on cults, still the best book ever. . . . Believe me, folks, these are the real experts." - Geraldo Rivera

It reacts to those images emotionally and then seeks to manifest those images throughout your life.By working with The Affirmations & Creative Visualization Workbook, you will set yourself up for lasting change by signaling to your mind that this is what you want it to do. This book guides you toward a daily routine of written positive affirmations and visualizations that will change your life.

Download or read book 365 Days of Positive Affirmations written by Jenny Kellett and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-03-25 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I can't do that" or "I am not able" - sound familiar? Too many of us are stuck in a negative cycle of thought - but you know what? You are great. You are able to achieve great things. Sometimes you just need to remind yourself of that. Positive affirmations have been used by psychologists since the 1920's to help boost the self-esteem of their patients. Research from Carnegie Mellon University conducted in 2013 provided the first evidence that self-affirmation can protect against the damaging effects of stress and anxiety. Millions of people have successfully used positive affirmations to aid in weight loss, depression, anxiety and self-esteem issues. Scientists believe that when positive affirmations are practiced regularly, they reinforce a chemical pathway in the brain, making the connection between two neurons stronger, and therefore more likely to conduct the same message again. In 365 Days of Positive Affirmations you will be introduced to the power of positive affirmations and experience the impact they can have on your life. Move through the book at your own pace as you discover which words and phrases resonate with you on a personal level. These then become your positive affirmations. Once you have those, use them on a daily basis; use them when doubt creeps into your mind; use them to remind yourself you are capable of achieving great things. Own 365 Days of Positive Affirmations today or purchase for a friend who needs a little positivity boost.

Download or read book At Peace with Myself written by Linford Sweeney and published by . This book was released on 2011-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I have been a Life Coach, trainer and mentor for the past ten years and always considered positive affirmations to be an essential element of the work that I did. This book came about as a result of my foray into social networking at the end of 2008. Whilst on these social networks I became aware that people needed some positive comments to help them through the week. Whenever I posted affirmations people were very approving and left positive comments on my status. In time I created a Facebook group to address this need and begun sending weekly affirmations to individuals using social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter, and to a more limited extent, by email. It was then that some people commented that I should publish a book of affirmations. I have chosen to combine my Weekly Affirmations with life coaching especially aimed at people who may have been going through difficult or challenging situations in their lives, such as illnesses, redundancies, facing debt, raising teenagers, or daily battling the traffic to work that they may not like. You can use these affirmations when you want to feel better about yourself by repeating them 7-10 times (out loud if you can), when it is safe to do so, each morning and evening. Each affirmation contained within this book is designed to be repeated and meditated upon each week over a fifty-two week period. There is also the opportunity to keep a journal of your thoughts, lessons and any positive actions or achievements that may have come about as a result of using these weekly affirmations. Your journal as it develops may contribute to your own personal development and growth over the year.
