Download or read book This Is Not a Fighting Song written by Meredith Holladay and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-10-21 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is through their music that the Indigo Girls build upon the theological idea of community-building and solidarity-forming, in order to tell the stories, to relate the authentic experience of human struggle and reconciliation, of human love and pain. Further, they work outward, convicted that their music and songwriting is an avenue to speak truth to power. All of this serves as theological reflection worked out in public and vocal forms of prophetic denunciation and proclamation. Their songs take on this prophetic tone of denunciation—speaking against oppression, inequality, and injustice. Moreover, their music does not remain complacent in the critique; through their songwriting they participate in prophetic proclamation—envisioning alternative ways of being, contributing to the collective imagination of contexts of equality, peace, and human freedom.

Book excerpt: A USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestseller! Learn how to fight better and end your arguments with your partner feeling closer, more loved, and better understood. We take our cars in for oil changes. We mow our lawns and pull weeds. Why don't we do maintenance on our marriages? This relationship is the most important one we will ever have, so why not get better at it? For the last several years, Penn and Kim Holderness of The Holderness Family have done the hard maintenance and the research to learn how to fight better. With the help of their marriage coach Dr. Christopher Edmonston, they break down their biggest (and in some cases, funniest) fights. How did a question about chicken wings turn into a bra fight (no, not a bar fight or a bra fight)? How did a roll of toilet paper lead to tears, resentment, and a stint in the guest bedroom? With their trademark sense of humor and complete vulnerability, Penn and Kim share their 10 most common Fight Fails and how to combat them. Throughout the book, they offer scripts for how to start, continue, and successfully close hard conversations. Couples will emerge equipped to engage and understand, not do battle—and maybe laugh a little more along the way. In Everybody Fights, couples will learn how to: Use "magic words" for healthy conflict resolution Address unspoken and unrealistic expectations Banish the three Ds of unhealthy communication—distraction, denial, and delay Carry individual baggage while helping your partner deal with theirs Penn and Kim want you to know you're not alone. Everybody fights. Marriage is messy. Marriage is work. But marriage is worth it. Fight for it!

Book excerpt: “Fighting!” When Music Lights Up the Darkness. Bong Until yesterday, I was an idol in a K-pop boy band at the peak of its fame. My life was a kaleidoscope of lights, music, and adrenaline—until everything changed. Now I’m walking the silent corridors of a hospital, fighting the toughest battle of my life, far from the clamor and affection of friends and fans. I hide behind a mask, concealing my true identity from those who once cheered for me. But the weight of my secret grows each day, as I even keep my struggle hidden from Yoo, my bandmate and dearest friend. Simultaneously, I’m experiencing new feelings for him; feelings which seem impossible to embrace at such a dark and difficult time. Yoo My mind is filled with Bong, especially since he’s been gone. It’s almost as if he’s still beside me on stage, where we once danced together, while now I’m moving without him. Bong’s light has dimmed in our world, leaving a void that I try to fill with music. But there’s a question that haunts me: where has he gone? His absence is a weight on my heart, a mystery that obsesses me. I continue to shine under the spotlight but my soul longs for his return––for the return of our lost unity. Our story is a dance between light and shadow, a journey through secrets and silence. A bond that extends beyond fame and success, testing our love and resilience. This is the pulsing heart of “Fighting!” a narrative that captures the soul, showing two beings bound by music and life as they face their greatest challenge together. “Fighting!” is a battle cry, and an anthem to hope and the inner strength that unites us in our darkest moments.
Download or read book Any Way the Wind Blows written by Rainbow Rowell and published by Wednesday Books. This book was released on 2021-07-06 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author Rainbow Rowell's epic fantasy, the Simon Snow trilogy, concludes with Any Way the Wind Blows. In Carry On, Simon Snow and his friends realized that everything they thought they understood about the world might be wrong. And in Wayward Son, they wondered whether everything they understood about themselves might be wrong. Now, Simon and Baz and Penelope and Agatha must decide how to move forward. For Simon, that means choosing whether he still wants to be part of the World of Mages — and if he doesn't, what does that mean for his relationship with Baz? Meanwhile Baz is bouncing between two family crises and not finding any time to talk to anyone about his newfound vampire knowledge. Penelope would love to help, but she's smuggled an American Normal into London, and now she isn't sure what to do with him. And Agatha? Well, Agatha Wellbelove has had enough. Any Way the Wind Blows takes the gang back to England, back to Watford, and back to their families for their longest and most emotionally wrenching adventure yet. This book is a finale. It tells secrets and answers questions and lays ghosts to rest. The Simon Snow Trilogy was conceived as a book about Chosen One stories; Any Way the Wind Blows is an ending about endings—about catharsis and closure, and how we choose to move on from the traumas and triumphs that try to define us.

His only duty is to announce the ultra;Top Secret world news every morning, from the hush&hush "Black Book." He takes us through his personal hell at Fort Benning to his eventual triumph as the favorite newscaster to the Chief of Army Intelligence.

The assassinations of Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy; riots at the Chicago Democratic Convention; the Hippie March on the Pentagon; the rise of Mu'umaar Qaddaffi and Saddam Hussein& and the day we put a man on the Moon.
