Book excerpt: The opposite of more is enough is a wonderful combination of true stories, scriptures, poetry, anecdotes and facts that have left many of the contributors with the knowledge that God has been busy in their lives in a way that has changed outcomes sometimes with complete surprise.We are often painted a picture by the world of a God who does not do enough for people. Yet the consensus that has come through from stories told is that God does in fact love the world and we do not really need more of anything because we already have enough and that God uses everything that happens to us in life, even the bad things, to weave our life into a tapestry which to us looks like a jumble of different coloured ends, yet when we get an occasional glimpse at what he is doing it looks to be sufficient (ENOUGH).The author shows us, through well researched facts, how hunger, starvation and poverty are decimating many countries and that a great deal of waste has and still is occurring in both developed and undeveloped countries.However, there are two questions asked as challenges.(a) If we do have enough then why are so many people suffering?(b) What can we do to alleviate world suffering?The author makes it clear that we who have enough (even if we don't think we have) can't just do nothing. Nothing is not an option!In fact, we are given a list of ten things we can do as a challenge, some of these do not cost money, gifts or time and those that do cost only as much as you want to contribute.The UN have a set of 17 sustainable goals that it aims to realise by 2030 and the author feels that if we all do something from the ten choices given that these goals are achievable.That means in TEN YEARS ONLY, NO Starvation, No Hunger, No Poverty, No Climate Change.

Download or read book Advanced English Grammar written by Ilse Depraetere and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-08-20 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depraetere and Langford, with 40 years of teaching experience between them, present a grammar pitched precisely at advanced learners of English who need to understand how the English language really works without getting lost in the specifics. Most linguistically-oriented grammars of English can be intimidating and complex. On the other hand, the more basic practical grammars also available are often not advanced enough. This book pulls from linguistic theory all the relevant notions that will enable the language student to fully grasp English grammar. After introducing form and function, the authors cover verbs, nouns, aspect and tense, modality and discourse. Readers are led through the underlying principles of language use, with the book presupposing only a basic grasp of linguistic terminology. It does not get bogged down in huge amounts of detail and focuses on the crucial issues. Full of exercises and with attention paid to moving the reader through their course, this is the desk reference grammar of choice for both native and non-native English speakers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mindfulness doesn't make other people less irritating, it makes us less irritable. I understand why you do what you do, because the ego in me sees the ego in you. Each chapter in this book is an episode from the Buddhist Boot Camp Podcast, offering food for thought about the non-judgmental benefits of recognizing and acknowledging both the ego and the divinity within us all. It's not about living in a bubble where nobody pushes your buttons, it's about getting to a point where you don't have any buttons that can be pushed.

Download or read book The Opposite Field written by Jesse Katz and published by Crown. This book was released on 2010-07-13 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is one of the most remarkable, ambitious, and utterly original memoirs of this generation, a story of the losing and finding of self, of sex and love and fatherhood and the joy of language, of death and failure and heartbreak, of Los Angeles and Portland and Nicaragua and Mexico, and the shifting sands of place and meaning that can make up a culture, or a community, or a home. Faced with the collapse of his son’s Little League program–consisting mostly of Latino kids in the largely Asian suburb of Monterey Park, California–Jesse Katz finds himself thrust into the role of baseball commissioner for La Loma Park. Under its lights the yearnings and conflicts of a complex immigrant community are played out amid surprising moments of grace. Each day–and night–becomes a test of Jesse’s judgment and adaptability, and of his capacity to make this peculiar pocket of L.A.’s Eastside his home. While Jesse soothes egos, brokers disputes, chases down delinquent coaches and missing equipment, and applies popsicles to bruises, he forms unlikely alliances, commits unanticipated errors, and receives the gift of unexpected wisdom. But there’s no less drama in Jesse’s complicated personal life as he grapples with a stepson who seems destined for trouble, comforts his mother (a legendary Oregon politician) when she’s stricken with cancer, and receives hard lessons in finding–and holding on to–the love of a good woman. Through it all, Jesse’s emotional mainstay is his beloved son, Max, who quietly bests his father’s brightest hopes. Over nine springs and summers with Max at La Loma, Jesse learns nothing less than what it takes to be a father, a son, a husband, a coach, and, ultimately, a man. This is an epic book, a funny book, a sexy book, a rapturously evocative and achingly poignant book. Above all it is true, in that it happened, but also in a way that transcends mere facts and cuts to the quick of what it means to be alive.

Download or read book The Opposite of Loneliness written by Marina Keegan and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The instant New York Times bestseller and publishing phenomenon: Marina Keegan’s posthumous collection of award-winning essays and stories “sparkles with talent, humanity, and youth” (O, The Oprah Magazine). Marina Keegan’s star was on the rise when she graduated magna cum laude from Yale in May 2012. She had a play that was to be produced at the New York Fringe Festival and a job waiting for her at The New Yorker. Tragically, five days after graduation, Marina died in a car crash. Marina left behind a rich, deeply expansive trove of writing that, like her title essay, captures the hope, uncertainty, and possibility of her generation. Her short story “Cold Pastoral” was published on NewYorker.com. Her essay “Even Artichokes Have Doubts” was excerpted in the Financial Times, and her book was the focus of a Nicholas Kristof column in The New York Times. Millions of her contemporaries have responded to her work on social media. As Marina wrote: “We can still do anything. We can change our minds. We can start over…We’re so young. We can’t, we MUST not lose this sense of possibility because in the end, it’s all we have.” The Opposite of Loneliness is an unforgettable collection of Marina’s essays and stories that articulates the universal struggle all of us face as we figure out what we aspire to be and how we can harness our talents to impact the world. “How do you mourn the loss of a fiery talent that was barely a tendril before it was snuffed out? Answer: Read this book. A clear-eyed observer of human nature, Keegan could take a clever idea...and make it something beautiful” (People).

Book excerpt: Adèle has never liked being the center of attention. When she starts receiving love letters in her locker, she suspects a bad joke. Gravitating between her passion for painting, her only friend Elba and her obsession with actor Jerrald Griffith, she tries to blend in. Victim of bullying for months by Ezekiel, it is when he makes that "too much'" joke that Adèle slaps him in front of the whole class. Sent to Principal Schroeder, the punishment is severe: she must tutor the school's star field hockey player three nights a week. The principal, touched by the young woman's family situation, offers her weekly meetings to help her come out of her shell and present herself as a father figure. She accepts, moved by such concern for her. But are his intentions really honest? Why did Ezekiel start to hate her overnight? Who is this S. who sends her these letters that put a little rainbow in her rainy days?
