Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "God helps those who help themselves." - The Bible? "Preach the gospel always; when necessary, use words." - St. Francis of Assisi? Sayings like these are such a part of modern pious tradition that we assume they come from the Bible, the mouths of saints, or the pens of famous Christian writers. In What the Saints Never Said, apologist Trent Horn takes over forty of these well-known but dubious sayings and attempts to track them to their true source. In so doing he finds some that are close to what was really said, many that were mis-attributed or twisted beyond their original meaning, and more than a few that were just plain made up! Trent Horn sets the record straight,

Book excerpt: The truth is that there is something within you that is not in harmony with what you believe. Your will is not in harmony with what should be. There is something within you that sees the world and knows that these answers are not leading to what actually should be. All through life you have chosen to look at the world as you are and what your circumstances told you. You never took time to look at it as it is and at its true nature, for I tell you the painful truth: life is really simple, but you insist on complicating it. For a long time you have listened to outside noises and ignored the voice inside you. You have forgotten the person you were before the world told you who you are, for I say to you, take a look at the world closely. Now see what I see, feel what I feel, understand what I understand, and perceive what I perceive. According to religion, 99 percent are going to heaven. According to the Son of Man, a mere 1 percent is going to hell. For I tell you the truth, not all you have been told is what truly is, for some people have been fooled most of this time, but I tell you the truth, not all of the people can be fooled all of the time. For a long time you have searched for the door to the truth only to realize that you had the key all along, for I tell you the truthyou are what you think, not what you think you are. Think about it. Now think about it.

Download or read book The Truth Is Told Better This Way written by Liz Worth and published by Book*hug Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pulling from raw themes of grief and death, regret and discomfort, sadness and failure, Worth wears these poems down to their bones. Straddling dreamy, ethereal images and brutal honesty, The Truth is Told Better This Way unravels its secrets one line at a time. The result is oracular and surreal, as each piece could be read as a magic spell that mesmerizes as much as a poem that tantalizes the senses. Praise for The Truth is Better Told This Way: Told with a wink and a sly smile, Worth's deliciously dark and defiant poetry crawls under one's skin and stays there. The characters in The Truth is Told Better This Way dance barefoot on dirty club floors, pee with the door open and whisper their hard-won truth into subway payphones. Like an unforgotten lover whom you just can't shake, the poems in this collection will keep you up at night. --Heather Babcock, author of Of Being Underground and Moving Backwards Liz Worth has never been darker. In this new collection she transforms her craft of confessional writing into a filthy and flourishing fantasia; a witch's brew of the most poetic magicks. --dalton derkson

Download or read book The Truth about Stories written by Thomas King and published by House of Anansi. This book was released on 2003 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2003 Trillium Book Award "Stories are wondrous things," award-winning author and scholar Thomas King declares in his 2003 CBC Massey Lectures. "And they are dangerous." Beginning with a traditional Native oral story, King weaves his way through literature and history, religion and politics, popular culture and social protest, gracefully elucidating North America's relationship with its Native peoples. Native culture has deep ties to storytelling, and yet no other North American culture has been the subject of more erroneous stories. The Indian of fact, as King says, bears little resemblance to the literary Indian, the dying Indian, the construct so powerfully and often destructively projected by White North America. With keen perception and wit, King illustrates that stories are the key to, and only hope for, human understanding. He compels us to listen well.

Download or read book TELL THE TRUTH AS IT IS written by REVD A.A. HARRIOTT and published by Author House. This book was released on 2014-04 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a youth born and raised in Jamaica and through some African history we were taught in school, we acquired very little knowledge of the history of black nations. I also learned and accepted a Christ-like way of life which, up to this present time, remains the major force in my life on this planet and has also given me a great feeling of passion for all people. We were financially poor but always had plenty of food and drink. As a country boy, when I left school I had no real concept of time but was acutely aware of day and night. We did not know anything about slavery but one of the homes in which I was brought up was one of many slavery camps. Some of the chains that were used to bind young children to their parents whilst they were working on the plantations later became our childhood toys. The manner in which many of us were chastised was an indication of the upbringing that our parents were handing down to us because they knew of no other way.
