Download or read book 1000 Consecutive Days of Fasting written by Vernard Johnson and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010-04 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is fasting 1000 consecutive days possible? Not fasting day and night without any food and water, no, that's not possible; but fasting for over a thousand consecutive days from 15 to 17 hours a day is possible. Never in my wildest dreams did I think that I would be the person to do this. But why fast 1000 days? What was the reason behind it all? I wish the answer to why a person would fast 1000 days was simple, but it's not. The absolute truth is that I never intended to fast 1000 days. It never even entered into my mind. Had it, I know I would have rejected the idea. I never thought it was possible. I didn't even think 100 days was possible until GOD blessed me to do it. It was not until I had fasted around 700 days that I began to believe 1000 days of fasting was possible. That's when I prayed and said to God, "Lord, since you have blessed me to fast 700 days, I have only one request now. Lord, bless me to go 1000 days." The Lord heard my request and granted it. During my fast I kept wondering and saying, "Lord, why? Why won't you give me a release from this fast?" It was not until I had fasted 1000 days that God revealed the reason why He had me fasting all those days. God spoke to my mind and said, "Vernard, I didn't have you fasting for `you', I had you fasting for people who need Me all over the world." So I was not fasting for me, I was fasting for you --people who are broken, people who have been wounded and bruised, and people who need God to move in their behalf.

Download or read book How to Survive Puberty at 25 written by Nina Bhadreshwar and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2008-08-01 with total page 491 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'How to Survive Puberty at 25' or rather guns, gangs, family, bullies and puberty is the true story of Nina Bhadreshwar, a young journalist, and her journey through others' stories to her own sanity after 14 years of anorexia and suicidal depression. Puberty is always painful. It is particularly painful when you are 25 years old and then living, as a British mixed race broke ass lass in Watts, Los Angeles shortly after the L.A. riots. And it becomes undeniably explosive when the said overaged adolescent is recruited to work for, write for and be the voice for Death Row Records in Westwood, Los Angeles. How Nina navigates her way through her cultural confusion and anorexia also becomes the chronicle for the little-known real behind-the-scenes of the history-changing episode that was Death Row Records and Los Angeles 1994-1996.

Download or read book When You Catch an Adjective Kill It written by Ben Yagoda and published by Crown. This book was released on 2008-02-12 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do you get when you mix nine parts of speech, one great writer, and generous dashes of insight, humor, and irreverence? One phenomenally entertaining language book. In his waggish yet authoritative book, Ben Yagoda has managed to undo the dark work of legions of English teachers and libraries of dusty grammar texts. Not since School House Rock have adjectives, adverbs, articles, conjunctions, interjections, nouns, prepositions, pronouns, and verbs been explored with such infectious exuberance. Read If You Catch an Adjective, Kill It and: Learn how to write better with classic advice from writers such as Mark Twain (“If you catch an adjective, kill it”), Stephen King (“I believe the road to hell is paved with adverbs”), and Gertrude Stein (“Nouns . . . are completely not interesting”). Marvel at how a single word can shift from adverb (“I did okay”), to adjective (“It was an okay movie”), to interjection (“Okay!”), to noun (“I gave my okay”), to verb (“Who okayed this?”), depending on its use. Avoid the pretentious preposition at, a favorite of real estate developers (e.g., “The Shoppes at White Plains”). Laugh when Yagoda says he “shall call anyone a dork to the end of his days” who insists on maintaining the distinction between shall and will. Read, and discover a book whose pop culture references, humorous asides, and bracing doses of discernment and common sense convey Yagoda’s unique sense of the “beauty, the joy, the artistry, and the fun of language.”
