Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Get Wisdom Bible Studies help women connect with Scripture in an accessible and energizing way. Teresa Swanstrom Anderson guides with a winsome style that is rich in depth, but still approachable for newer readers of the Bible. What Are You Hustling For? We glorify busyness. We hustle, hoping to gain approval and find acceptance. Yet for most of us, we simply hustle our way to burnout. But what if it's only pointless hustle that leads to burnout? What if meaningful struggle can lead us to growth and depth and even joy? The apostle Paul understood hustle--and struggle--better than most. But in prison, where we'd expect him to be burned out and depressed, he wrote a letter to his Philippian friends seeking to build them up, a letter filled with thankfulness, generosity, and joy. Focused on Jesus rather than concentrating on his own discomfort, Paul's actions brilliantly display what happens when hardship is used for the glory of God. We might feel that life is trying to bury us . . . but what we forget is that we're a seed. Philippians will show us how we can grow deep roots and blossom by finding the meaning in our struggle.

Book excerpt: What if it is death that teaches us how to truly live? Keeping the end in mind shapes how we live our lives in the here and now. Living life backward means taking the one thing in our future that is certain—death—and letting that inform our journey before we get there. Looking to the book of Ecclesiastes for wisdom, Living Life Backward was written to shake up our expectations and priorities for what it means to live "the good life." Considering the reality of death helps us pay attention to our limitations as human beings and receive life as a wondrous gift from God—freeing us to live wisely, generously, and faithfully for God's glory and the good of his world.

Download or read book Walking to Listen written by Andrew Forsthoefel and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2017-03-07 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A memoir of one young man’s coming of age on a journey across America--told through the stories of the people of all ages, races, and inclinations he meets along the way. Life is fast, and I’ve found it’s easy to confuse the miraculous for the mundane, so I’m slowing down, way down, in order to give my full presence to the extraordinary that infuses each moment and resides in every one of us. At 23, Andrew Forsthoefel headed out the back door of his home in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, with a backpack, an audio recorder, his copies of Whitman and Rilke, and a sign that read "Walking to Listen." He had just graduated from Middlebury College and was ready to begin his adult life, but he didn’t know how. So he decided to take a cross-country quest for guidance, one where everyone he met would be his guide. In the year that followed, he faced an Appalachian winter and a Mojave summer. He met beasts inside: fear, loneliness, doubt. But he also encountered incredible kindness from strangers. Thousands shared their stories with him, sometimes confiding their prejudices, too. Often he didn’t know how to respond. How to find unity in diversity? How to stay connected, even as fear works to tear us apart? He listened for answers to these questions, and to the existential questions every human must face, and began to find that the answer might be in listening itself. Ultimately, it’s the stories of others living all along the roads of America that carry this journey and sing out in a hopeful, heartfelt book about how a life is made, and how our nation defines itself on the most human level.
Download or read book Living Like You Mean It written by Ronald J. Frederick and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-03-03 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In LIVING LIKE YOU MEAN IT, author Ronald J. Frederick, does a brilliant job of describing why people are so afraid of their emotions and how this fear creates a variety of problems in their lives. While the problems are different, the underlying issue is often the same. At the core of their distress is what Dr. Frederick refers to as feelings phobia. Whether it s the experience of love, joy, anger, sadness, or surprise, our inborn ability to be a fully feeling person has been hijacked by fear--and it s fear that s keeping us from a better life. The book begins with a questionnaire-style list that help readers take an honest look at themselves and recognize whether and how they are afraid of their feelings. It then moves on to explore the origins of fear of feeling and introduces a four-part program for overcoming the fear: (1) Become aware of and learn to recognize feelings--anger, sadness, joy, love, fear, guilt/shame, surprise, disgust. (2) Master techniques for taming the fear. (3) Let the feeling work its way all the way through to its resolution. (4) Open up and put those feelings into words and communicate them confidently. With wisdom, humor, and compassion, the book uses stories and examples to help readers see that overcoming feelings phobia is the key to a better life and more fulfilling relationships.

Download or read book 101 Mantras for Living with Really Happier Experiences in Life written by Ratan Budhani and published by BecomeShakespeare.com. This book was released on 2018-09-24 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These are some of the excerpts from the book. • Why are we born? This question poses a great challenge for many of us. The best answer to this would be….. • The poor long for riches, the rich long for heaven, but the wise long for a peaceful mind. • In order to perform optimally you need to nurture your body. You wouldn’t fill your car with sludge, leave it in the garage for five years, and then expect it to win a race. • Every day you are impacting the world, and every day you are creating your life through your thoughts. Think whatever you like, big or small, rich or poor, fair or unfair, and those thoughts will strive to become the things and events of your life. It’s an immutable law. • Every human action is either driven by fear or by greed. Beyond the shadow of a doubt both are negative vibrations. One of the best ways you can MAKE yourself happier, in all your attempts, is begin to come from a positive vibration and that’s love. • Your expectations can literally influence your real life experiences. So be aware and consciously choose to create positive expectation with everything you do... • Do what you love and enjoyment will follow. Do what you love and you will feel more fulfilled. Do what you love and the money will seem less relevant. Do what you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life. Alongside, love what you do and you come out a shining star. • Enjoy the process and be willing to accept what comes your way. No matter how successful you are, if you have not stopped to enjoy yourself along the way, your success is half-full. Secret of happiness is not found in receiving more, but in developing the capacity to enjoy more. • Mistakes come from: acting in ignorance or in innocence or through carelessness or acting hastily or acting in fear or acting in worry or acting in doubt or acting under anxiety.
