Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gabriel pondered these questions as he sat in his favorite recliner. After mentally exhausting himself, he prayed for answers and then fell into a deep sleep. He began to dream that he was fishing in a dirty and odorous lake. He saw some people fishing and some were swimming, laughing and dunking themselves in and out of this lake. He noticed the fish were not taking the bait as they appeared sickly and lifeless, floating on the surface of the lake. He then saw the people that were swimming begin to eat the diseased fish. Some were throwing their hands up in the air as they were drowning. Some were vomiting up volcanic lava. They were crying and yelling for help. Gabriel wanted to help. Leon, disguised as an angel, grabbed Gabriel’s hand and said “Gabe you can’t help them because they’re dying and they will drown you anyway.” With an angelic face, Leon led him to a humongous house that looked like a museum inside. There were demonic looking sculptures, artifacts, paintings and portraits. There were numerous rooms with different displays. Each room they went into had less lighting than the room before it, until Gabriel could not see anything. He called out several times to Leon but there was no answer. He tried to get out of the room but he could not see or find an exit. He reached for his cell phone to call for help. He could not get a signal, but he hears the voice.

In a matter of months she lost her job, her home, her friends, and her husband—all before a crucial time in her life—her thirtieth birthday. Starting from scratch in a place that was frighteningly foreign to her, without any of the support system she had grown to rely on as a married woman back in New York, she began her life in Florida. Her new position (or lack thereof) forced her to revisit the circumstances in her life that led up to her current situation. Those moments almost destroyed her. If it were not for her strong faith and her belief that God was actually traveling those moments with her, she feels certain she would not have been able to survive the journey. Living A Lifetime In 625 Days details her staggered walk through that past and her emergence as a daughter of the King.

Download or read book The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows written by John Koenig and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-11-16 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “It’s undeniably thrilling to find words for our strangest feelings…Koenig casts light into lonely corners of human experience…An enchanting book. “ —The Washington Post A truly original book in every sense of the word, The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows poetically defines emotions that we all feel but don’t have the words to express—until now. Have you ever wondered about the lives of each person you pass on the street, realizing that everyone is the main character in their own story, each living a life as vivid and complex as your own? That feeling has a name: “sonder.” Or maybe you’ve watched a thunderstorm roll in and felt a primal hunger for disaster, hoping it would shake up your life. That’s called “lachesism.” Or you were looking through old photos and felt a pang of nostalgia for a time you’ve never actually experienced. That’s “anemoia.” If you’ve never heard of these terms before, that’s because they didn’t exist until John Koenig set out to fill the gaps in our language of emotion. The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows “creates beautiful new words that we need but do not yet have,” says John Green, bestselling author of The Fault in Our Stars. By turns poignant, relatable, and mind-bending, the definitions include whimsical etymologies drawn from languages around the world, interspersed with otherworldly collages and lyrical essays that explore forgotten corners of the human condition—from “astrophe,” the longing to explore beyond the planet Earth, to “zenosyne,” the sense that time keeps getting faster. The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows is for anyone who enjoys a shift in perspective, pondering the ineffable feelings that make up our lives. With a gorgeous package and beautiful illustrations throughout, this is the perfect gift for creatives, word nerds, and human beings everywhere.

Download or read book The Other Side of the Tiber written by Wallis Wilde-Menozzi and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2013-04-23 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A moving and illuminating memoir about a singular woman's relationship with a fascinating and complex country A fresh, nuanced perspective on a profoundly perplexing country: this is what Wallis Wilde-Menozzi's unique, captivating narrative promises—and delivers. The Other Side of the Tiber brings Italy to life in an entirely new way, treating the peninsula as a series of distinct places, subjects, histories, and geographies bound together by a shared sense of life. A multifaceted image of Italy emerges—in beautiful black-and-white photographs, many taken by Wilde-Menozzi herself—as does a portrait of the author. Wilde-Menozzi, who has written about Italy for nearly forty years, offers unexpected conclusions about one of the most complex and best-loved countries in the world. Beginning her story with a hitchhiking trip to Rome when she was a student in England, she illuminates a passionate, creative, and vocal people who are often confined to stereotypes. Earthquakes and volcanoes; a hundred-year-old man; Siena as a walled city; Keats in Rome; the refugee camp of Manduria; the Slow Food movement; realism in Caravaggio; the concept of good and evil; Mary the Madonna as a subject—from these varied angles, Wilde-Menozzi traces a society skeptical about competition and tolerant of contradiction. Bringing them together in the present, she suggests the compensations of the Italians' long view of time. Like the country, this book will inspire discussion and revisiting.

Download or read book Hoot N Gin written by Michael N. and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2008-11-03 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Virginia and Michael begin recovery from alcoholism in Alcoholics Anonymous, they correspond several times a week. They view letter writing and their deepening relationship as a lifeline in the chaos of change. Letters selected from over 2000 written during the next five years chronicle the raw material of their recovery. As their recovery becomes increasingly mired in conflict between the deception required to maintain their relationship and "rigorous honesty" required to attain lasting sobriety, Hoot and Gin (alter egos) spontaneously emerge in the writing. With the mobility of mental apparitions, these "kids" are traded back and forth by their adult counterparts, nurturing, modeling new behaviors, broaching sensitive subjects, and teaching the healing art of laughing at self. They help the adults move through stuck places and give up stubborn resistance to change. For anyone contemplating recovery or living with an alcoholic, who is questioning how Twelve Steps can have any practical application to a situation as complicated as theirs, Hoot 'n Gin reveals how two skeptical people eventually find all twelve are gifts, not punishment. This trip through the Twelve Steps demonstrates how the act of letter writing can augment a recovery program by encouraging introspection, lending support, and measuring progress.
