Book excerpt: The distinctive new crowdsourced publishing imprint Swoon Reads proudly presents its first published novel—an irresistibly sweet romance between two college students told from 14 different viewpoints.

Lea and Gabe are in the same creative writing class. They get the same pop culture references, order the same Chinese food, and hang out in the same places. Unfortunately, Lea is reserved, Gabe has issues, and despite their initial mutual crush, it looks like they are never going to work things out. But somehow even when nothing is going on, something is happening between them, and everyone can see it. You'll be rooting for Gabe and Lea too, in Sandy Hall's quirky, completely original novel A Little Something Different, chosen by readers, writes, and publishers, to be the debut titles for the new Swoon Reads imprint!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The midtwenties through the midthirties can be a time of difficult transition: the security blankets of college and parents are gone, and it’s suddenly time to make far-reaching decisions about career, investments, and adult identity. When author Christine Hassler experienced what she calls the "twenties triangle", she found that she was not alone. In fact, an entire generation of young women is questioning their choices, unsure if what they’ve been striving for is what they really want. They’re eager to set a new course for their lives, even if that means giving up what they have. Hassler herself left a fast-moving career that wasn’t right for her and instead took the risk of starting her own business. Now, based on her own experience and interviews with hundreds of women, she shares heartfelt stories on issues from career to parents to boyfriends to babies. Yet she also provides practical exercises to enable today’s woman to chart a new direction for her life.

Download or read book The Line through the Heart written by J. Budziszewski and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2014-04-29 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The suicidal proclivity of our time, writes the acclaimed philosopher J. Budziszewski, is to deny the obvious. Our hearts are riddled with desires that oppose their deepest longings, because we demand to have happiness on terms that make happiness impossible. Why? And what can we do about it? Budziszewski addresses these vital questions in his brilliantly persuasive new book, The Line Through the Heart. The answers can be discovered in an exploration of natural law—a venture that, with Budziszewski as our expert guide, takes us through politics, religion, ethics, law, philosophy, and more. Natural law, the author states plainly but provocatively, is a fact about human beings; as surely as we have hands and feet, we have the foundational principles of good and evil woven into the fabric of our minds. From this elemental fact emerges a natural law theory that unfolds as part of a careful study of the human person. Thus, Budziszewski shows, natural law forms a common ground for humanity. But this common ground is slippery. While natural law is truly an observable part of human nature, human beings are hell-bent—quite literally—on ignoring it. The mere mention of the obligations imposed on man by his nature will send him into a rage. In this sense, The Line Through the Heart explores natural law as not simply a fact and a theory but also a sign of contradiction. While investigating the natural law and its implications, Budziszewski boldly confronts—and offers a newly integrated view of—a wide range of contemporary issues, including abortion, evolution, euthanasia, capital punishment, the courts, and the ersatz state religion being built in the name of religious toleration. Written in Budziszewski’s usual crystalline style, The Line Through the Heart makes clear that natural law is a matter of concern not merely to scholars; it touches how each of us lives, and how all of us live together. His profoundly important examination of this subject helps us make sense of why habits that run against our nature have become second nature, and why our world seems to be going mad.

Download or read book The Inner Workings of a 20 Somethings Mind with My Life Why Are People Really Depressed and Smoking Is the Leading Cause of Obesity written by Michael Steel and published by Strategic Book Publishing. This book was released on 2010-08 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Get an intimate and close-up view of the life of a late Generation Xer. Michael Steel writes a candid autobiography that explores the generation that many refer to as the children of the "Baby Busters;" children that grew up in an era questioning authority, seeking their own path, and straying from cultural norms. In Steele's often funny, often poignant account, evidence of that search is brilliantly narrated. Twenty-eight year old Steel describes his journey from being a "charismatic individual" to a "nobody" with friends scattered everywhere that reflect his view of himself. His travels take him to faraway places with associations ranging from the throwaways of society to the very wealthy. Friends, girlfriends, and rehab are vividly depicted, and his time and experiences in New York, New England, Hawaii, and the Virgin Islands lead him to a crucial point in his life-"pleasantly disagreeing" with world politics-while incorporating an intelligent viewpoint with challenge and relentless curiosity. His take on depression and unhealthy habits is one born of experience and objective observation. Reminiscent of Jack Kerouac's musings, Steele has something to say and his book is a riveting narration about a generation that continues to see the world as a place of experimentation and hope, and with new eyes that dare the world to see them for who they truly are.
Download or read book Atheism written by Alexandre Kojève and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2018-11-06 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the twentieth century’s most brilliant and unconventional thinkers, Alexandre Kojève was a Russian émigré to France whose lectures on Hegel in the 1930s galvanized a generation of French intellectuals. Although Kojève wrote a great deal, he published very little in his lifetime, and so the ongoing rediscovery of his work continues to present new challenges to philosophy and political theory. Written in 1931 but left unfinished, Atheism is an erudite and open-ended exploration of profound questions of estrangement, death, suicide, and the infinite that demonstrates the range and the provocative power of Kojève’s thought. Ranging across Heidegger, Buddhism, Christianity, German idealism, Russian literature, and mathematics, Kojève advances a novel argument about freedom and authority. He investigates the possibility that there is not any vantage point or source of authority—including philosophy, science, or God—that is outside or beyond politics and the world as we experience it. The question becomes whether atheism—or theism—is even a meaningful position since both affirmation and denial of God’s existence imply a knowledge that seems clearly outside our capacities. Masterfully translated by Jeff Love, this book offers a striking new perspective on Kojève’s work and its implications for theism, atheism, politics, and freedom.
Download or read book COMFORTING AND ENCOURAGING ONE ANOTHER written by GODSWORD GODSWILL ONU and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-03-30 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many Christians and Believers in the Lord Jesus Christ are passing through and experiencing different harsh, troubling, and uncomfortable situations and conditions. This is one reason why we should comfort one another, because the devil will try to discourage the Christian who is passing through stresses in one area or the other. And some do not have someone who is comforting them; so your word of comfort to somebody may stabilize the person and encourage and strengthen him in the Lord and the Faith. All Believers are not at the same level of spiritual strength, mental knowledge and understanding, and physical, material, financial, and marital wellbeing. Therefore we have to comfort one another, as we have opportunity, especially the ones whom we know are passing through harsh trials and experiences. Furthermore, we are to comfort and encourage one another in the race to our Eternal Home with God.
