This book was released on 2013-09-01 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bestselling Author Mitchell Earl Gibson presents his newest book; Ancient Teaching Stories. During the early years of my spiritual training, my teachers would often give me stories in answer to my questions. Sometimes, I understood the essence of the story...sometimes, the answers would elude me for years. Over time, I came to understand that the search for answers is not the reason that we ask questions. In truth, we are looking for pieces of our own puzzle, bricks in the Path that we can apply to the patchwork of our individual story. I assumed that all my friends, students, and loved ones knew all the stories that I related. I found that this was not the case. Teaching stories flow from one culture to another...one mind to another, and pass through gently through the soul leaving the softest of impressions. In truth, the greatest of these leaves of changed forever. I have chosen these stories for their lessons. Some of the stories are brilliant in their poignancy and beauty. Some of the stories are harsh and cruel, like the lessons of life, but with a spark of hope always embedded within. There are a few stories sprinkled within this text that are designed to transform the reader at the core. You will know those when you read them. These stories are drawn from many ancient cultures. The breadth of human wisdom is wonderfully preserved through our tradition of story. Curiously, these stories have no known authors. The Master is an amalgamation of wise men from a variety of cultures. He speaks the truths that color the boundaries of our deepest dreams. Mitchell Earl Gibson is the bestselling author of Your Immortal Body of Light, Signs of Mental Illness, and The Miracle Prayer.

Download or read book Chasing Slow written by Erin Loechner and published by HarperChristian + ORM. This book was released on 2017-01-10 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chasing Slow models HGTV star Erin Loechner's journey to help you break out of the faster-better-stronger trap and make small changes to refresh your perspective, renew your priorities, and shift your focus to what matters most. You're here, but you want to be there. So you spend your life narrowing this divide, and you call this your race, your journey, your path. You live your days tightening your boot straps, wiping the sweat from your brow, chasing undiscovered happiness just around the bend. And on and on you run. Viral sensation and HGTV.com star Erin Loechner knows about the chase. Before turning 30, she'd earned the title "The Nicest Girl Online" as she was praised for her authentic voice and effortless style. Her HGTV web show garnered over one million fans worldwide, and her client list includes Walt Disney World, IKEA, Martha Stewart and Home Depot. The New York Times applauded her, her friends and church admired her, and her husband and baby adored her. She had arrived at the ultimate destination. So why did she feel so lost? Through a series of steep climbs--her husband's brain tumor, bankruptcy, family loss, and public criticism--Erin learns just how much strength it takes to surrender it all, and to veer right into grace. In Chasing Slow, Erin upgrades her life through downsizing--her stuff, her obligations, her fears, her personal metric of "perfect." And ultimately, her invitation becomes yours: to turn away from the fast and frenzy, and find freedom in a new-fashioned lifestyle defined by grace. Life's answers are not always hidden where they seem. It's time to venture off the beaten path to see that we’ve already been given everything we need. We've already arrived. You see? You'll see.

Book excerpt: The Newbery Medal-winning tale of an orphan boy whose dream of becoming a master potter leads to unforeseen adventure in ancient Korea. Tree-ear is an orphan boy in a 12th-century Korean village renowned for its ceramics. When he accidentally breaks a delicate piece of pottery, he volunteers to work to pay for the damage. Putting aside his own dreams, Tree-ear resolves to serve the master potter by embarking on a difficult and dangerous journey, little knowing that it will change his life forever. "Despite the odds against him, Tree-ear becomes courageous, brave and selfless, a hero as enduring as the porcelain Park so lovingly describes." (New York Times) “Intrigues, danger, and a strong focus on doing what is right turn a simple story into a compelling read. A timeless jewel.” (Kirkus starred review) *A broken piece of pottery sets events in motion as an orphan struggles to pay off his debt to a master potter. This finely crafted novel brings 12th-century Korea and these indelible characters to life." (School Library Journal starred review) "Tree-ear's determination and bravery in pursuing his dream of becoming a potter takes readers on a literary journey that demonstrates how courage, honor and perseverance can overcome great odds and bring great happiness. Park effectively conveys 12th century Korea in this masterful piece of historical fiction." (Kathleen Odean, chair of the Newbery Award Selection Committee)
