Download or read book But I Don t Feel Nothin written by Marian P. Harrison and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2015-04-30 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Christian life is what I believe to be a continuous journey, growing spiritually toward perfection; however, maturity only comes from a clear understanding of being truthful of the real person you are. Christians often display sheer hypocrisy, wearing masks to impress others, so the real person never matures. We rely on the opinions of the experts and usually feel that their opinions are the only ones that matter. I feel were living at a time when many people are hurting inside and have to deal with many unpleasant obstacles while wholeheartedly trying to be that perfect person. I pray that this book will appeal to baby Christians, whether nineteen or ninety. Being a competent toastmaster, Ive spoken in many programs about the hardships of life, and some people have asked me how Ive been able to relate to many issues and speak with such passion. I explained that these issues were my own personal experiences that God has allowed me to learn from and endure. Consequently, after hearing some of my speeches, which were limited, some people have told me that I should write a book, so thats why I decided to put my thoughts in writing. But I Dont Feel Nothin relates to a few of the various feelings we experience in life, which we must deal with, and it reminds us that life is not always about feeling good. Ive also met many unchurched people who experienced hurtful feelings from church leaders who never explained the Christian life at a level they could comprehend. As a result of unhealthy ways to mask the pain, I believe, many suicides are the result of people feeling empty, useless, no good, unloved, etc. They cant get past the circumstances surrounding cancer, divorce, joblessness, repossession, foreclosure, loneliness, etc., to push past the pain and live more productive lives. My primary goal is that someone will read this book and understand how to accomplish their specific assignments in life. Moreover, I believe that this book will at least raise an awareness from a laymans perspective to open more dialogue and discussions relating to our feelings. Most people make unsuccessful efforts to please so many other people rather than try to please God and themselves. Even though professional help is more available today, God is usually left out of the therapy or maybe only casually mentioned, so this can result in dealing with habits that are not easily broken, as some analysts feel they should be. But the analysts themselves usually have never experienced what the patient is dealing with. This book is not to discredit the expertise of our extensively trained psychoanalysts, who I believe have been beneficial to many individuals. Even though Im considering researching actual statistical data to validate some of my suggestions, I feel it would take away from the appeal to the baby Christians and move the book into an arena for more mature Christians to dissect. I believe that this would create more problems and become less attractive. I speak as a layman, with real issues and problems, who only desires to share my nameless relationships to help someone else. Specific names and churches are not mentioned in the book, only my personal issues; and having lived in five different states, attending various churches, I made sure no one will be aware of who my references are.

Book excerpt: ** A New York Times Bestseller ** NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY: Time • The New Yorker • NPR • GQ • Elle • Vulture • Fortune • Boing Boing • The Irish Times • The New York Public Library • The Brooklyn Public Library "A complex, smart and ambitious book that at first reads like a self-help manual, then blossoms into a wide-ranging political manifesto."—Jonah Engel Bromwich, The New York Times Book Review One of President Barack Obama's "Favorite Books of 2019" Porchlight's Personal Development & Human Behavior Book of the Year In a world where addictive technology is designed to buy and sell our attention, and our value is determined by our 24/7 data productivity, it can seem impossible to escape. But in this inspiring field guide to dropping out of the attention economy, artist and critic Jenny Odell shows us how we can still win back our lives. Odell sees our attention as the most precious—and overdrawn—resource we have. And we must actively and continuously choose how we use it. We might not spend it on things that capitalism has deemed important … but once we can start paying a new kind of attention, she writes, we can undertake bolder forms of political action, reimagine humankind’s role in the environment, and arrive at more meaningful understandings of happiness and progress. Far from the simple anti-technology screed, or the back-to-nature meditation we read so often, How to do Nothing is an action plan for thinking outside of capitalist narratives of efficiency and techno-determinism. Provocative, timely, and utterly persuasive, this book will change how you see your place in our world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The true story of eighteenth-century mathematician Sophie Germain, who solved the unsolvable to achieve her dream. When her parents took away her candles to keep their young daughter from studying math...nothing stopped Sophie. When a professor discovered that the homework sent to him under a male pen name came from a woman...nothing stopped Sophie. And when she tackled a math problem that male scholars said would be impossible to solve...still, nothing stopped Sophie. For six years Sophie Germain used her love of math and her undeniable determination to test equations that would predict patterns of vibrations. She eventually became the first woman to win a grand prize from France's prestigious Academy of Sciences for her formula, which laid the groundwork for much of modern architecture (and can be seen in the book's illustrations). Award-winning author Cheryl Bardoe's inspiring and poetic text is brought to life by acclaimed artist Barbara McClintock's intricate pen-and-ink, watercolor, and collage illustrations in this true story about a woman who let nothing stop her.

Dr. Duclos is a practicing internal medicine physician who treats patients with these conditions every day and has found striking similarities among these conditions. He uses the latest scientific research to support his theory that the problem common to these disorders lies in the central nervous system.

"For years," Dr. Duclos says, "patients have been told that their symptoms are all psychological. Now we know better."

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • SOON TO BE AN FX LIMITED SERIES STREAMING ON HULU • NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD WINNER • From the author of Empire of Pain—a stunning, intricate narrative about a notorious killing in Northern Ireland and its devastating repercussions. One of The New York Times’s 20 Best Books of the 21st Century "Masked intruders dragged Jean McConville, a 38-year-old widow and mother of 10, from her Belfast home in 1972. In this meticulously reported book—as finely paced as a novel—Keefe uses McConville's murder as a prism to tell the history of the Troubles in Northern Ireland. Interviewing people on both sides of the conflict, he transforms the tragic damage and waste of the era into a searing, utterly gripping saga." —New York Times Book Review "Reads like a novel ... Keefe is ... a master of narrative nonfiction. . .An incredible story."—Rolling Stone A Best Book of the Year: The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, TIME, NPR, and more! Jean McConville's abduction was one of the most notorious episodes of the vicious conflict known as The Troubles. Everyone in the neighborhood knew the I.R.A. was responsible. But in a climate of fear and paranoia, no one would speak of it. In 2003, five years after an accord brought an uneasy peace to Northern Ireland, a set of human bones was discovered on a beach. McConville's children knew it was their mother when they were told a blue safety pin was attached to the dress--with so many kids, she had always kept it handy for diapers or ripped clothes. Patrick Radden Keefe's mesmerizing book on the bitter conflict in Northern Ireland and its aftermath uses the McConville case as a starting point for the tale of a society wracked by a violent guerrilla war, a war whose consequences have never been reckoned with. The brutal violence seared not only people like the McConville children, but also I.R.A. members embittered by a peace that fell far short of the goal of a united Ireland, and left them wondering whether the killings they committed were not justified acts of war, but simple murders. From radical and impetuous I.R.A. terrorists such as Dolours Price, who, when she was barely out of her teens, was already planting bombs in London and targeting informers for execution, to the ferocious I.R.A. mastermind known as The Dark, to the spy games and dirty schemes of the British Army, to Gerry Adams, who negotiated the peace but betrayed his hardcore comrades by denying his I.R.A. past--Say Nothing conjures a world of passion, betrayal, vengeance, and anguish.
