Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James Stevens, a professional in the field of advertising, suffers through another steamy Midwest summer and the grueling hours of his job, only to realize he's on the edge of physical and psychological burnout. Confronting the situation, he arranges a short vacation to help reestablish some balance in his life. Involved in a rather questionable relationship at the time, Stevens' significant other gives strong opposition to his taking a solo vacation. Despite her objection, he accepts an offer from an old friend to meet at an event in the Southwest. He also arranges an overnight trek on horseback into a land that has always captivated his curious mind. Stepping away from the pressures of his job and a hectic urban environment, he responds to the forces of nature and confronts certain issues in his life. Stevens also examines the illusions of the contemporary world he helped to create through his professional endeavors. During a one-on-one tour of a remote canyon, Stevens finds his hired guide doubles as a spiritual mentor helping him to see things in a new light. Plagued by unnatural and supernatural events on their journey, he develops a strong bond with this guide. He then returns home -- life turned upside-down from his vacation experience. Back in his usual environment, Stevens soon realizes he brought home an intangible souvenir determined to change him, so he not only struggles with the unexplainable anomalies he encountered on his trip, but deals with a force that is relentlessly acting on him to alter his ways. Over the course of a few months a battle ensues in Stevens' mind between his comfort zone and the unknowns that go with the challenge of a brave new life. He winds up faced with some very tough choices in order to seek the happiness he's been longing for.

Download or read book Holy Is a Four Letter Word written by Charles C. Lake and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2016-02-17 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Holy Is a Four-Letter Word responds to the need for an accessible and simple articulation of the holy life, and what it means for the collective church as well as for individual believers. This goal is accomplished by taking the fundamental tenets of holiness doctrine and shaping them around twelve four-letter words: (1) Holy, (2) Self, (3) Full, (4) Pure, (5) Will, (6) Mind, (7) Body, (8) Love, (9) Rest, (10) Life, (11) Sent, and (12) Call. Each chapter deals with holy living according to scripture as it pertains to each four-letter word. Setting the concept of holiness against the backdrop of modern (and often profane) media culture accomplishes two objectives: (1) it reveals the relevance and urgency of holy living amongst a super-charged, secular media culture, and (2) defining holy living, first and foremost, by what it is not thereby accentuating "holy" as being set a part for the purposes of God.
Download or read book Trade Is Not a Four Letter Word written by Fred P. Hochberg and published by Avid Reader Press / Simon & Schuster. This book was released on 2021-01-26 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A sprightly and clear-eyed testimonial to the value of globalization” (The Wall Street Journal) as seen through six surprising everyday goods—the taco salad, the Honda Odyssey, the banana, the iPhone, the college degree, and the blockbuster HBO series Game of Thrones. Trade allows us to sell what we produce at home and purchase what we don’t. It lowers prices and gives us greater variety and innovation. Yet understanding our place in the global trade network is rarely simple. Trade has become an easy excuse for struggling economies, a scapegoat for our failures to adapt to a changing world, and—for many Americans on both the right and the left—nothing short of a four-letter word. But as Fred P. Hochberg reminds us, trade is easier to understand than we commonly think. In Trade Is Not a Four-Letter Word, you’ll learn how NAFTA became a populist punching bag on both sides of the aisle. You’ll learn how Americans can avoid the grim specter of the $10 banana. And you’ll finally discover the truth about whether or not, as President Trump has famously tweeted, “trade wars are good and easy to win.” (Spoiler alert—they aren’t.) Hochberg debunks common trade myths by pulling back the curtain on six everyday products, each with a surprising story to tell: the taco salad, the Honda Odyssey, the banana, the iPhone, the college degree, and the smash hit HBO series Game of Thrones. Behind these six examples are stories that help explain not only how trade has shaped our lives so far but also how we can use trade to build a better future for our own families, for America, and for the world. Trade Is Not a Four-Letter Word is the antidote to today’s acronym-laden trade jargon pitched to voters with simple promises that rarely play out so one-dimensionally. Packed with colorful examples and highly digestible explanations, Trade Is Not a Four-Letter Word is “an accessible, necessary book that will increase our understanding of trade and economic policies and the ways in which they impact our daily lives” (Library Journal, starred review).

Julie Jurgens-Shimek gives voice to families of autistics who feel they are alone, to let them know they are not. She is eager to share her experiences, to lend courage to any who are affected, and to develop a unified cry from all in the bewildering world of autism. Autism Is a Four-Letter Word ... is a powerful account of the progress that is possible, that against formidable challenges, the Shimeks have learned how best to play the hand. When love prevails, Michael thrives as his journey continues."--
