He looks at the odd events of daily life, and even finds humor in the experiences of moving and having a serious illness.

It’s the thing that is missing, that people are insatiably hunting for and don’t even realize it. It’s not about just being joyful when things are working in your favor. It’s about radical and immovable joy, which doesn’t fade when life hits the fan. However, joy remains a bit of an untouchable mystery. Where’s the Joy features dynamic and compelling real-life stories that provide the keys to unlocking radical and immovable joy. Danny Williamson helps readers discover the abundant source of joy and reveals how to find joy in the details—even during life’s darkest storms. If you’ve ever wondered Where’s the Joy, it’s time to uncover what Jesus meant when he said, "I have told you these things so that you will be filled with my joy. Yes, your joy will overflow!” John 15:11. Take a journey to discover this mysterious thing and exchange the lie of thinking joy is for everyone else for the truth of supernatural joy.

Download or read book Oh Yikes written by Joy Masoff and published by Workman Publishing. This book was released on 2006-08-24 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gross is back and viler than ever! From the author of Oh, Yuck! the perennial bestseller about science with over 610,000 copies in print, comes OH, YIKES!, an illustrated encyclopedia of history’s messiest, dumbest, grossest, wackiest, and weirdest moments. If kids think pus and gas are fun, wait until they hear the lowdown on the real Dracula, samurai, gladiators, guillotines and vomitoriums, pirates, Vikings, witch trials, and the world’s poxiest plagues. Impeccably researched, deliciously wry, and subversively educational (check out the toilet-paper timeline), OH, YIKES! covers people, events, institutions, and really bad ideas, alphabetically from April Fool’s Day to zany Zoos. Here are the Aztecs, sacrificing 250,000 people a year for the gods—and for food. Fearsome Attila the Hun, scourge of the steppes whose spinning eyes terrified his friends and whose mastery of horses terrorized his enemies (how does someone so evil die? Nosebleed!). Saur, the 11th-century dog-king of Norway (and not too bad as kings go). Henry VIII and his marital problems, the story of the Abominable Snowman and the Loch Ness Monster, why sailors in the old days preferred eating in the dark (hint: you can’t see what’s crawling in your food), and the answer to the question, “How did knights in armor go to the bathroom?” Topped off with hundreds of illustrations and photographs along with hands-on activities that bring the past to life, OH, YIKES! puts the juice in history in a way that makes it irresistible.

Book excerpt: Jackie's journey into the unravelling mysteries of the spiritual realm started as a casual glance into her clairvoyant skills, a cute hobby, to pass the evenings away. The Angels had other plans. This story is the unravelling of the information, about the spiritual world through her eyes, as she discovers more about herself, her gifts, and her visions that turned into poetry.

Book excerpt: We've all experienced discontent in our lives at one point or another, waking up each day and going to sleep each night completely unfulfilled. We feel like something is missing but can't put our finger on what that is. Today's world is custom-built to pull our attention in a hundred and fifty directions, telling us who we should be and how we should live to become an acceptable member of society. We fall prey to the endless cycle of consumerism and information overload. Before we know it, we wake up questioning how the hell we got here in the first place."The Less Effect" is about becoming conscious to the physical environment, social relationships, and daily habits we surround ourselves with so we can clear away what is holding us back and follow our true passion. We spend so much of our lives continuously adding more to solve our problems that, over time, we completely lose sight of who we are underneath it all. When we become more aware of our surroundings and remove what no longer serves us, we are able to tap into our most authentic self and design a life of happiness and purpose.It simply starts with living a life of less.

Download or read book Nine Horses written by Billy Collins and published by Random House. This book was released on 2011-08-10 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nine Horses, Billy Collins’s first book of new poems since Picnic, Lightning in 1998, is the latest curve in the phenomenal trajectory of this poet’s career. Already in his forties when he debuted with a full-length book, The Apple That Astonished Paris, Collins has become the first poet since Robert Frost to combine high critical acclaim with broad popular appeal. And, as if to crown this success, he was appointed Poet Laureate of the United States for 2001–2002, and reappointed for 2002–2003. What accounts for this remarkable achievement is the poems themselves, quiet meditations grounded in everyday life that ascend effortlessly into eye-opening imaginative realms. These new poems, in which Collins continues his delicate negotiations between the clear and the mysterious, the comic and the elegiac, are sure to sustain and increase his audience of avid readers.
