Download or read book In Praise of Forgiveness written by Massimo Recalcati and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2020-05-19 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Relationships fall apart, marriages fail, couples break up – it happens to us all. Time corrodes passion and the routines of daily life kill the excitement that surrounds the emotion of the first encounter. The difficulty of uniting sexual pleasure with love, which Freud considered to be the most common neurosis in any love life, has become emblematic of a truth that seems undeniable: desire is destined to die if its object is not constantly renewed, if we do not change partner, if it is closed for too long in the restrictive chamber of the same bond. And yet what happens to these bonds when one of the two partners betrays the other, when the promise fails, when there is another emotional experience cloaked in secrecy and deceit? What happens if the traitor then begs forgiveness? Are they asking to be loved again and, having declared that it is not like it used to be, now want everything to go back to how it was? Should we make fun of lovers in their attempts to make love last? Or should we try to face up to the experience of betrayal, with the offence caused by the person we love most? Should we not perhaps attempt to praise forgiveness in love?

Buchanan From advertisements to mommy blogs to Pinterest, scenes of domestic bliss abound, painting a picture of perfection and expectation nearly impossible to live up to. Why can't you work a full-time job, stylishly clothe yourself and your children, plan a party for twelve with handmade decorations, keep your house sparkling clean without chemicals, and bake a gourmet meal in the same day? Everyone else is doing it! For many women, housework has become more than chores that need to be done; it is a symbol of identity. Sheila Wray Gregoire wants to stop that thinking in its tracks and help women back to a life of balance--for their sakes and for their families. She encourages women to shift their focus from housekeeping to relationships and shows them how to foster responsibility and respect in all family members.

Book excerpt: A dark relationship evolves between a high schooler and her English teacher in this breathtakingly powerful memoir about a young woman who must learn to rewrite her own story. “Have you ever read Lolita?” So begins seventeen-year-old Alisson’s metamorphosis from student to lover and then victim. A lonely and vulnerable high school senior, Alisson finds solace only in her writing—and in a young, charismatic English teacher, Mr. North. Mr. North gives Alisson a copy of Lolita to read, telling her it is a beautiful story about love. The book soon becomes the backdrop to a connection that blooms from a simple crush into a forbidden romance. But as Mr. North’s hold on her tightens, Alisson is forced to evaluate how much of their narrative is actually a disturbing fiction. In the wake of what becomes a deeply abusive relationship, Alisson is faced again and again with the story of her past, from rereading Lolita in college to working with teenage girls to becoming a professor of creative writing. It is only with that distance and perspective that she understands the ultimate power language has had on her—and how to harness that power to tell her own true story. Being Lolita is a stunning coming-of-age memoir that shines a bright light on our shifting perceptions of consent, vulnerability, and power. This is the story of what happens when a young woman realizes her entire narrative must be rewritten—and then takes back the pen to rewrite it.

Download or read book From Pain to Praise written by Inacent Saunders and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-09 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In From Pain to Praise: The Prose and Poems of a Daughter-in-Process, debut author Inacent Saunders shares a collection of poems, short stories, and journal entries written throughout her journey of adolescent self-discovery. Along this journey Inacent encountered such stumbling blocks as abandonment, loss, anger, alcoholism, and lust - issues that are not uncommon to many women, even "Women of God". However, these issues are sometimes hard for Christian women to admit to one another. This is especially true of younger Christian women who are constantly admonished to "live holy", and are often harshly criticized if they should fall short of these expectations. The specially selected pieces in this anthology are intended to finally acknowledge some of the pain, confusion, and trauma - with an honest, explicit voice - that many young women have dealt with (and may continue to deal with) along their Christian walk. The pieces also portray the personal growth that comes by enduring the process of sanctification. As for herself, Inacent knows that she was only able to overcome her pain by growing in relationship with Christ, which then put her on a path to salvation, repentance, deliverance, and an understanding of her true identity as a Daughter of the King! By sharing her journey from pain to praise, she hopes to inspire other young women to begin or continue their journey as well. PLEASE NOTE: Some of the pieces in this publication contain language of a violent, sexual and explicit nature.
