Download or read book Finding Selah written by Kristen Kill and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2018-01-09 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: That something you’ve been looking for in the empty stress of your mad-dash days? It has a name. The Psalms call it selah—the pause, rest, or interlude between the notes in a song. More than merely an empty space, selah is a chance to stop and resync with the story and song of God. For all the ways life keeps you running, this word and practice offers a way to re-center yourself on the One who holds all things together and makes all things beautiful. Stretched beyond her capacity in caring for a large family in the middle of Manhattan, Kristen Kill was exhausted, depressed, and desperate for a change. Then something sparked within her when she read the Psalms, and found that often all that stood between the psalmist’s cries for help and celebrations of praise was this simple word, selah. Join Kristen in Finding Selah for a journey that will transform the way you think about work, rest, and the little spaces in between that make all the difference. This book will show you how to tune your ear to the song God is singing over you, embrace the “selah moments” able to transform your daily rhythms, and most of all, encounter the ultimate Selah in Christ, who stands in the gap between heaven and your most hectic of days. There is hope for the dissonance you feel. Finding Selah will show you not only how to sing a new song, but to live a new way.

Download or read book Atlanta Noir Akashic Noir written by Tayari Jones and published by Akashic Books. This book was released on 2017-07-25 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Georgia Center for the Book has chosen Atlanta Noir as one of 2018's Books All Georgians Should Read! Kenji Jasper's "A Moment of Clarity at the Waffle House" nominated for a 2018 Edgar Award for Best Short Story! "Atlanta has its share, maybe more than its share, of prosperity. But wealth is no safeguard against peril...Creepy as well as dark, grim in outlook...Hints of the supernatural may make these tales...appealing to lovers of ghost stories." --Kirkus Reviews "These stories, most of them by relative unknowns, offer plenty of human interest...All the tales have a Southern feel." --Publishers Weekly "Jones, author of Leaving Atlanta, returns to the South via Akashic's ever-growing city anthology series. The collection features stories from an impressive roster of talent including Jim Grimsley, Sheri Joseph, Gillian Royes, Anthony Grooms and David James Poissant. The 14 selections each take place in different Atlanta neighborhood." --Atlanta-Journal Constitution "Now comes Atlanta Noir, an anthology that masterfully blends a chorus of voices, both familiar and new, from every corner of Atlanta...The magic of Atlanta Noir is readily apparent, starting with the introduction Jones pens. It doesn’t rest solely upon the breadth of writers but on how their words, stories and references are so Atlanta--so very particular, so very familiar and so very readily, for those who know the city, nostalgic. And for those who don’t? The sense of place it captures inspires a desire to get to know Atlanta and its stories." --ArtsATL Akashic Books continues its award-winning series of original noir anthologies, launched in 2004 with Brooklyn Noir. Each book comprises all new stories, each one set in a distinct neighborhood or location within the respective city. This much-anticipated and long-overdue installment in Akashic's Noir Series reveals many sides of Atlanta known only to its residents. Brand-new stories by: Tananarive Due, Kenji Jasper, Tayari Jones, Dallas Hudgens, Jim Grimsley, Brandon Massey, Jennifer Harlow, Sheri Joseph, Alesia Parker, Gillian Royes, Anthony Grooms, John Holman, Daniel Black, and David James Poissant. From the introduction by Tayari Jones: Atlanta itself is a crime scene. After all, Georgia was founded as a de facto penal colony and in 1864, Sherman burned the city to the ground. We might argue about whether the arson was the crime or the response to the crime, but this is indisputable: Atlanta is a city sewn from the ashes and everything that grows here is at once fertilized and corrupted by the past... These stories do not necessarily conform to the traditional expectations of noir...However, they all share the quality of exposing the rot underneath the scent of magnolia and pine. Noir, in my opinion, is more a question of tone than content. The moral universe of the story is as significant as the physical space. Noir is a realm where the good guys seldom win; perhaps they hardly exist at all. Few bad deeds go unrewarded, and good intentions are not the road to hell, but are hell itself...Welcome to Atlanta Noir. Come sit on the veranda, or the terrace of a high-rise condo. Pour yourself a glass of sweet tea, and fortify it with a slug of bourbon. Put your feet up. Enjoy these stories, and watch your back.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carole D Zebaze (born in 1972 in Cameroon) is an Author, Spiritual Guide and Marriage Counselor. 'Sweet Readings and Soul Songs’ is one of her many books. Although her writings span many years and seasons in her life, it is in 2009 she started publishing her works. The 122 poems in this anthology are enlightening, endearing, inspiring yet candid and raw. They transport you into a true voyage and arouse moments of introspection, compelling one to slow down amidst the shams of life and heed that subtle and often unuttered cry of our soul. They kindle a sense of compassion and generosity to one’s own marrow. They assuredly will leave you singing your own Soul Song! Following is the text on the back cover of the book. This book draws upon the author’s lifetime quest for identity and the triumphant return to the One who awaited her; the Father whose abiding and constant Love has, like a balm, healed the aches of her wounded soul. It deals with the universal conviction of the human heart for Meaning, Faith and grief. Down-to-earth and engaging, these poems are served to you ‘au naturel’. They provoke soul-searching, piercing the heart and yet enlightening the mind. What a reminder that we are not our own, that even the most asymptomatic of lives conceal a void only our Creator can wholly satiate. God formed us and sin flawed us, yet Christ His son was sent to transform us. “He reached from on High…He drew me out of many waters…He delivered me…from my strong enemy…because He delighted in me.” (Psalm 18:16-21) Born and raised in Cameroon Central Africa, the author graduated from Law School in her native land, moved to New York then Florida and Tennessee. Through her testimony of personal triumph, her life is a display of God’s redemptive power. Her charge is to appeal to lost souls as she once was, in hope they too might share in His remarkable loving-kindness to the penitent. Carole’s life is the singular evidence that God’s mercies extend to ‘whosoever’ will reach up and receive them. Conveyed through these pages is a message that lasting liberty from spiritual, emotional, and physical bondage is close at hand. One touch from the all-knowing Creator can heal every malignancy of your soul. *Some of the writers’ upcoming works include* - An Audio Version of ‘Sweet Readings & Soul Songs’ - A Memoir “A Father like no other, a Precious daughter, Crossing Borders: My intricate journey to the Creator and the extraordinary relationship that followed” - An Essay/Treatise “Beyond the desolate ashes of Africa, a Prophecy: And a New generation Arose!” - A manifesto “A Coeur Ouvert Series: Restoring the Face of the Bride of Christ.” - Le Mariage Divin: The Sacrament of Marriage According to God’s Heart and Original Intent - Other Books in French. REVIEWS "If you've ever been lost in life, If you've ever lost your footing and found yourself entangled by the sin that no longer appeals to you, If your heart cry has become louder and louder, and If you know in the depths of your soul that you’ve settled for the gunk of life when you were created for so much more? Then, you need not look any further. The words in this book will surely meet you where you are, for you are not alone! It will simply echo Truth to your situation, while inviting you to reach to the real source of the LIFE your soul has for long yearned for. Your mind and your emotions deserve to be at peace, at last!" “This awesome book has so many wonderful and inspirational poems that are just uplifting. I really love this book and would recommend it to anyone who loves spiritual literature.” ​​​​​​​ "’Sweet Readings and Soul Songs’ is a breath of fresh air for the soul.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'I have learned to be content in whatever state] I am'' (Phil. 4:11) Anyone who lacks true contentment may find it in this book. If not, it will be because that one would not follow the very clear and simple instructions given. The teaching is from the Bible, yet it must be described as unique. Nowhere else will you find such unusual, but Biblically authenticated thoughts: He will teach you that contentment lies in subtraction, not in addition; that the ABC's of Christianity are nothing like what you thought them to be; that there is a mystery of contentment, but that once you have learned the way from Christ's word, you will be able to attain such a depth of contentment as you never before dreamed existed. This is a key book for building up Christian maturity. Christian Contentment, what is it? ''It is a sweet, inward heart thing. It is a work of the Spirit indoors. It is a box of precious ointment, very comforting and useful for troubled hearts in times of troubled conditions.
