Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining a gripping personal story with practical advice on such subjects as diet, training, family, romance, and much more, Laila Ali shows readers of all ages and backgrounds how to transform the demons of self-doubt and stagnation into positive, winning energy. Since her professional debut three years ago, Laila Ali has set the world of women's boxing on fire. The daughter of the world's most famous boxer, she has more than come into her won, winning ten straight fights with breathtaking confidence and poise - including a bout with Jacqui Frazier that was the most highly publicized female boxing event ever. But Laila's journey to success was not without struggle. In this revealing book, she describes - with striking humility and a streetwise wisdom beyond her years - how she made many mistakes along the way, but eventually managed to overcome every obstacle that life threw at her. In fifteen straight-talking, hard-hitting "rounds," Laila offers her dynamic formula for physical, emotional, and mental power, and demonstrates how to sidestep feelings of self-pity and defeatism. Some of the life experiences that Laila recounts are ones many young people face, while others are related to her unique circumstances. Born with a proverbial silver spoon in her mouth, she never felt comfortable, as a child, in her parents' mansion - surrounded by maids, celebrity visitors, and hangers-on - and longed for a "normal" existence. As an adolescent, she became increasingly drawn into negative behavior. But after she found herself, at age sixteen, in juvenile hall, Laila realized it was time to make a change in her life. She resolved to become a responsible, financially independent adult, and soon achieved her long-time dream of owning her own manicure business. Ultimately, however, she would find success in another arena: professional boxing. Revised and updated in 2017.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Logos 7, Vol. 1 is the eighth of my ten-volume, Logos 1-7 work, each volume of which is able to stand alone as God’s Book of Life. It took me over 3,000 pages in ten volumes to say How and What is Important to Believe. It seeks to explain by experience who Jesus is, who God is, who the Holy Spirit is, what the Bible is, why it is crucial to life that we believe in them, what “belief” is, what “to be saved” is, just how Salvation is effected, what the “take-away” benefits are, and how to find meaning and purpose in life. This volume focuses on what exactly is the Will of God for each individual and well as corporately for Humankind. It holds God's Warning Messageto the World addressed to every level of society from highest to lowest: world, nation, state, community, family, and individual – that the state of humankind is deplorable to God, and offers the Call of God to believe in Jesus as the Christ Savior and accept his Holy Spirit for Life with Him. He assays it through his Eyes of Christ, warns of coming retribution, and presents the Christ Spirit as the only solution to restore humankind to a godly image. “Each of these ten volumes is able to stand alone as God’s Book of Life, portraying Life with the Holy Spirit by belief in the Christ of Jesus as Savior to eternal life with God. The ten volumes relate my Story of Writing God's Book of Life, using nonfiction essays and poetry with daily help of divine intervention in producing the seven-Logos Work of ten volumes, and the four supporting volumes, all seek to fully understand and explain this work inspired by the Holy Spirit, the Christ of Jesus. “The action of God fulfilled for him in seven years all of Rodger Crafton's dreams of becoming a writer of poetry and prose, an armchair philosopher, and an artist working in his new, upstairs garage atelier.”---R. Crafton Gibbs

Download or read book Could It Be written by Joseph C. Way and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2007-02-06 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Could It Be? focuses on twelve biblical passages. Most of them have been denigrated or disregarded, either by those who want nothing to do with organized religion or by others who claim to be genuinely Christian. The author reclaims those discarded gems, proclaims those stories as relevent, countermands erroneous interpretations and counteracts the results of misinformation about their meaning and purpose. The book is designed to stir the status quo and begins the stirring process by reexamining old passages from a new approad. Its author believes the only road leading to intellectual and spriritual growth runs through the crowded and musty city of "Old Ideas" and winds through the treacherous valley of "New Possibilities." That is the basic outline for every chapter in this book. Each chapter identifies problematical interpretations of some ingrained religious ideas and offers new possibilities that enrich Christian living. Biblical requirements considered impossible to follow are interpreted as very doable. The uppermost question for each reader to keep in mind is, "Could it be this passage is very different than I originally thought?" Throughout the book, the author repeatedly affirms God is at work in common places, events and things. Biblical stories about personal deliverance and radical change were frequently facilitated by something quite ordinary. What we called a miracle was often an ordinary act for God. If that is how God works, he regularly offers "miracles" to everyone, not just to special people in special situations. These passages about miracles, admonitions and probing questions are prototypes of the human condition, making them extremely relevant because they are "OUR STORY" too.

Download or read book American Poetry in Performance written by Tyler Hoffman and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2013-07-02 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Tyler Hoffman brings a fresh perspective to the subject of performance poetry, and this comes at an excellent time, when there is such a vast interest across the country and around the world in the performance of poetry. He makes important connections, explaining things in a manner that remains provocative, interesting, and accessible." ---Jay Parini, Middlebury College American Poetry in Performance: From Walt Whitman to Hip Hop is the first book to trace a comprehensive history of performance poetry in America, covering 150 years of literary history from Walt Whitman through the rap-meets-poetry scene. It reveals how the performance of poetry is bound up with the performance of identity and nationality in the modern period and carries its own shifting cultural politics. This book stands at the crossroads of the humanities and the social sciences; it is a book of literary and cultural criticism that deals squarely with issues of "performance," a concept that has attained great importance in the disciplines of anthropology and sociology and has generated its own distinct field of performance studies. American Poetry in Performance will be a meaningful contribution both to the field of American poetry studies and to the fields of cultural and performance studies, as it focuses on poetry that refuses the status of fixed aesthetic object and, in its variability, performs versions of race, class, gender, and sexuality both on and off the page. Relating the performance of poetry to shifting political and cultural ideologies in the United States, Hoffman argues that the vocal aspect of public poetry possesses (or has been imagined to possess) the ability to help construct both national and subaltern communities. American Poetry in Performance explores public poets' confrontations with emergent sound recording and communications technologies as those confrontations shape their mythologies of the spoken word and their corresponding notions about America and Americanness.
Download or read book The God Who Enables grafted in written by Paul Ripamonti and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-04-11 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is a book of testimonies of a real God working in and through the lives of Margaret, my wife, and myself by His Spirit. The book includes testimonies that are true. They are from my perspective and my actual experiences. The revelations that were given, both before and after acquiring a Bible, are in the form of prophetic words, psalms and prose. The revelations of being "enabled" and being "grafted in" have only been made known to me in recent years. I trust that this book blesses and encourages those who choose to read it. I thank our Lord and Saviour Jesus (Yeshua) the Christ (Messiah) for allowing me to write this testimony of His guidance, protection and provision.
Download or read book Broken Bodies written by Karen O'Donnell and published by SCM Press. This book was released on 2019-01-01 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Body of Christ is a traumatised body because it is constituted of traumatised bodies. This monograph explores the nature of that trauma and examines the implications of identifying the trauma of this body. Constructing new ways of thinking about the narratives at the heart of the Christian faith, 'Broken Bodies' offers a fresh perspective on Christian theology, in particular the Eucharist, and presents a call to love the body in all its guises. It offers new pathways for considering what it means to ‘be Christian’ and explores the impact that the experience of trauma has on Christian doctrine.
Download or read book From Pentecost to the Triune God written by Steven M. Studebaker and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2012-12-19 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In From Pentecost to the Triune God Steven Studebaker puts forth a provocative Pentecostal Trinitarian theology, arguing that the Holy Spirit completes the fellowship of the triune God and therefore shapes the identities of the Father and the Son. The Holy Spirit, Studebaker maintains, is not simply a passive end-product of a procession from the Father and Son but, rather, a dynamic person who plays an active role in the Trinity and a constitutional, consummational role in the history of redemption. In the course of his study, Studebaker shows the theological yield of the Pentecostal experience of the Holy Spirit and uncovers the biblical narratives of the Spirit from creation to Pentecost. A constructive and ecumenical contribution to Trinitarian theology, From Pentecost to the Triune God also engages major historical and contemporary figures such as Augustine, the Cappadocians, Weinandy, and Zizioulas, as well as representatives from the evangelical and charismatic traditions. Finally, Studebaker applies his Pentecostal Trinitarian theology to the theology of religions and creation care, proposing that Christians embrace an inclusive posture toward people of other religious traditions and have an earth orientation that sees creation care as Christian formation.

Download or read book In God s Love written by Janet Hurlow and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-03-25 with total page 1144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Gods Love contains all 532 passages that were revealed to me. The passages of In Gods Love contain wisdom, truth, knowledge, challenges and, most importantly, love. Some of the themes of In Gods Love are God, the universe, creation, freewill, suffering, Satan, morality, Jesus, prayer, wealth, sexuality, death, hell, heaven, the messengers and their mission. This is just a little taste of what In Gods Love says about these topics. What does In Gods Love say about God? His nature is kind and gentle. Look at a flower. Turn it in your hand. How does it feel? Is it soft, velvety and rich in color? How does that fragile petal make you feel? Gods nature is like that. He is as gentle as the soft petal from the flower you are holding in your hand. He is such a delight and so much more. Your God is an awesome Being. His merriment is beyond what any creation has ever known. God shall nourish the spirit and satisfy the thirst of the soul. All else is in vain. His beauty is all beauty. His love is all love. His life is all life. Have you heard the most wonderful music on Earth? Mmm. Hold your baby with love and tenderness. Gods love is like this, only a zillion of times more intensified. This is what its all about. God loves you all. In His creation is the most wicked sinner, whom no man, in his pain, could forgive. This sinner cried out to God with a contrite and loving heart. In this cry, compassion and mercy bore his spirit up to God forever. What does In Gods Love say about the universe? Signs of life are in the Heavens beyond your sun and there is a Creator who is your God. Can these little ones God has made be all? Look at the heavens at night. Has God made all this for no reason? A God who has a reason for everything? Such wonders are very real . . . Right and strong are many worlds and many people. What does In Gods Love say about Creation? Without God, creation would not exist . . . This is the Spirit of all life. He is why things are. He chose you to be His adopted child. What a marvelous gift. Blessings of life are sent to you from God . . . He chose you because He wanted you. He wanted you to live forever and share in His gifts and mysteries of eternal life. Earth people could have roamed the Earth as senseless as the wild boar. On Earth, animals are made for mankind. This is a God who honored you and made you human instead of a wild dog that roams the forest in search of prey. What a gift. He made you human. He chose you to share in His delights forever. God made mankind and gave him/her a mind, a consciousness, a reality. God made mankind and woke His creation up. What does In Gods Love say about our freewill? Make your choice. Will you choose an eternity of happiness, or will you choose an eternity of pain? Select. Make your decision. Spirit of truth and love or spirit of deception and hate. Bitter is the cup set before the wicked. Would you drink from such a bitter chalice when the sweet wine is passed? Would you choose the bitter? This is foolish. Such is the wickedness of man. The wise choose the sweet wine which is the chalice of God and the saints. Such a blessed cup. Wise are all who drink from the chalice of the Lamb and do not pass it up. In this is wisdom. What does In Gods Love say about suffering? While you wait, much suffering is relieved by your words to God. Wisdom is sent to small ones who suffer in Earths toil. Suffering is soon gone, and then you see that sorrow is virtues child perfecting the souls of man. Is sorrow a saint in Gods Spirit? Why is she working in Gods Spirit? God doesnt want beings to suffer. Then why is this spirit in Gods plans? Suffering is not virtues reason. Virtue is inscribed in the beginning. Sorrow is not inscribed in the beginning. Sorrow wages war against mankind. In this, is it understood. She chastises while men journey on Earth. Such sorrow cleanses saints of Earth. Sorrow detests that her spirit is used in Gods plans.
