Book excerpt: What if it is death that teaches us how to truly live? Keeping the end in mind shapes how we live our lives in the here and now. Living life backward means taking the one thing in our future that is certain—death—and letting that inform our journey before we get there. Looking to the book of Ecclesiastes for wisdom, Living Life Backward was written to shake up our expectations and priorities for what it means to live "the good life." Considering the reality of death helps us pay attention to our limitations as human beings and receive life as a wondrous gift from God—freeing us to live wisely, generously, and faithfully for God's glory and the good of his world.

Download or read book The Best Day of Someone Else s Life written by Kerry Reichs and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite being cursed with a boy's name, Kevin "Vi" Connelly is seriously female and a committed romantic. The affliction hit at the tender age of six when she was handed a basket of flower petals and ensnared by the "marry-tale." The thrill, the attention, the big white dress—it's the Best Day of Your Life, and it's seriously addictive. But at twenty-seven, with a closetful of pricey bridesmaid dresses she'll never wear again, a trunkful of embarrassing memories, and an empty bank account from paying for it all, the illusion of matrimony as the Answer to Everything begins to fray. As her friends' choices don't provide answers, and her family confuses her more, Vi faces off against her eminently untrustworthy boyfriend and the veracity of the BDOYL. Eleven weddings in eighteen months would send any sane woman either over the edge or scurrying for the altar. But as reality separates from illusion, Vi learns that letting go of someone else's story to write your own may be harder than buying the myth, but just might help her make the right choices for herself.

At school, Connell is popular and well liked, while Marianne is a loner. But when the two strike up a conversation—awkward but electrifying—something life changing begins. A year later, they’re both studying at Trinity College in Dublin. Marianne has found her feet in a new social world while Connell hangs at the sidelines, shy and uncertain. Throughout their years at university, Marianne and Connell circle one another, straying toward other people and possibilities but always magnetically, irresistibly drawn back together. And as she veers into self-destruction and he begins to search for meaning elsewhere, each must confront how far they are willing to go to save the other.

It takes us from that first conversation to the years beyond, in the company of two people who try to stay apart but find that they can’t.

Download or read book MUHAMMED MESSENGER OF PEACE AND TOLERANCE written by Yasin T. al-Jibouri and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2014-01-30 with total page 577 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is not an ordinary book by any standard, and simply going through its table of contents will tell you why. The author takes you on a journey to the 6th Century A.D. where events and incidents of this book started, meticulously detailing life in the Arabian Peninsula during the period of time that preceded the birth of the Prophet of Islam, Muhammed. Then he details the struggle of the Prophet and his followers to survive in the most hostile environment and among the most ruthless people. After that, he gives you an idea about unfortunate events that followed Muhammed’s demise and how those who were the closest people to him during his lifetime betrayed him and his message thereafter, confiscating the estate of his only daughter, Fatima. A chapter about his wives is included as well in addition to one about the Holy Qur’an and why it is called a miracle. Many sayings of the Prophet of Islam on various subject-matters have been included, too, giving you an idea about how Muhammed thought and what he preached. A Glossary is finally added for the benefit of those who study or teach the Islamic faith either academically or out of curiosity. Perhaps the most interesting contents of this book are two very important pacts which Muhammed signed, one with the Jews of Medina, and another with the Christians of Najran, Yemen. These pacts shed light on the Prophet’s tolerance and genuine desire for a peaceful coexistence between the Muslims on the one hand and followers of the Jewish and Christian faiths on the other.
Download or read book Healing recipes Nutritious Plant Based Recipes to Feel Better written by and published by jideon francisco marques. This book was released on 2024-01-12 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Feeling better starts here! Now more than ever, so many of us are looking for ways to improve our health and boost our immunity, and the very best – and easiest – place to start is in the kitchen. Paying attention to what and how we eat is such a simple way we can all take more control over our wellbeing. I truly believe that plants have the power to heal and I’m so excited to share this new collection of recipes and wellness ideas with you. My recipes are inexpensive and low effort, but packed with incredible ingredients that will make you feel instantly better. These are the recipes I cook and eat at home that keep me and my family feeling happy and healthy, and that help us get back on track when illness does inevitably strike. My food is always bright and colourful, using 100 per cent plant-based wholefoods along with some of my favourite magical superfood ingredients to boost your mood and supercharge your immunity. I’ve studied plant-based nutrition extensively and am incredibly passionate about the amazing ways plants can be used as medicine to help heal us from the inside out. I know, first hand, the incredible impact diet can have on how we feel, having been on my own journey to wellness when I began eating a plant-based diet ten years ago. Ever since making that life-changing decision, my energy levels have increased, my hormones have felt more in balance, my mood has lifted and I get ill much less often. More recently, I’ve learnt about the powerful effects specialist ingredients like medicinal mushrooms, plant powders and seaweed can have, and I’ve seen some really impressive results. For me and my family, eating plant-based wholefoods keeps the focus on un-refined, healthy and nutritious meals, with small amounts of animal products included – I still have eggs and a little dairy from time to time and my kids sometimes eat fish and meat, so I don’t claim to be vegan. That is why my recipes occasionally contain honey or other non-vegan ingredients. To maximise the nutritional benefits of ingredients, it’s generally fine to just wash or scrub fruit and veg without peeling them. The skin is rich in nutrients, so this increases your intake of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fibre. Whether you are currently experiencing a period of ill health, have specific recurring symptoms, or simply want to learn about ways you can support your immune system, I’ve included all my favourite ways to give yourself a head start, maximise your wellbeing and take control over your health. It can feel like such an enormous and overwhelming topic, with a huge amount of information available out there, but I hope I’ve been able to bring together the key ideas to produce a practical guide to keeping well. Don’t feel you have to suddenly overhaul your life! Even eating a few more veg-based meals, trying a couple of the self-care ideas or adding a plant powder or two to your morning smoothie will bring you so many benefits – and you can build on it from there!
