Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The experience of reading Volume 3 is more or less like a continuation of the experience of reading Volumes 1 & 2 with similar material and everything in its pun-filled contents from one liners to elaborate stories and everything in between. Just like the first two volumes. The first 4 of the 5 sections end with pun-filled monologues that provide updates on the stories and characters from the previous volumes - in this case -Volumes 1 and 2 that like the updates in Volume 2, will jog readers' memories and keep them entertained. Having been towards the end of the process of completing his trilogy during the onset of Covid-19, Section 5 of this 3rd and final volume of Scott's series, unlike any of the other 14 sections comprising his trilogy is aptly titled The Age of Coronavirus-19 and includes some entries with contemporary references to its impact on life and our world. Unique in this final volume, apart from the inclusion of references to Covid-19, and the much more serious personal issue are some additional pictures of Scott's cats, Swagger and Mona as well as a very small portion of the book in which cross-lingual puns are used along with the authors detailed explanation so that all readers will be able to follow along and learn a little Spanish in the process.Both the front and back of Volume 2 share some pictures of the author with some of his friends and / or family members as well as his fiance, Kathy whom he began dating in late September of 2019, about a month before beginning the penning of the 3rd volume - and just a little over 2 years after the sudden and unexpected passing of his first wife, Harlene just 2 days after first receiving his proof of Volume 1 in August of 2017.The Foreword / The Creation of Weigh More Than A Pun A Day Plus Irony Volume 3 is significantly longer than this beginning section in the first 2 volumes. In it, the author shares much more personal details about making his way through important life transitions and adjustments since the publication of volume 2. As with the very first volume there is indeed a twist at the end of this humorous book and it is, indeed, much more serious than in the first volume where the author simply shares more reflective and sentimental short compositions he had written in years past in connection with important life passages.In this final volume, Scott shares a deeply personal family issue that he has only begun to deal with as of the publication of this 3rd and final volume of his trilogy. It is touched upon towards the end of the foreword and greatly expounded upon and revisited towards the very end of the book as a segue to transitioning out of his pun writing and announcing his intention to write a serious book about this very painful personal issue that, unfortunately, plagues many. While coping with and healing from this issue thanks to friends, Harlene's family, a counselor, YouTube channel hosts and most importantly, his fiance, Kathy, Scott ends his trilogy with a lovely dedication to Kathy with whom he became engaged on February 14, 2020 and plans to marry on June 25, 2022 at a large ceremony that will be held at the beautiful home of a wonderful family with whom he is friends that has very large grounds.Scott plans to play their baby grand during the proceedings, have quite a number of groomsmen, hopefully involve his cats in some manner, exit from the alter with some fun dance moves to a specially pre-selected exit song back down the aisle with his beautiful bride and to end the night with a festive karaoke celebration on the expansive, accommodating wrap around deck.
Download or read book Weigh More Than A Pun A Day Plus Irony written by Scott Patrick McGowan and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-30 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Final Updates is the very last edition of the author's pun book series. Its publication marks a definitive end to the series not only in its title but by its very structure. This book culminates the series by refraining from the creation of any fresh new stories and is intended to give those who appreciated the trilogy one last visit with the characters and stories that were contained within it. The Final Updates offers yet one more entertaining reprieve from the grind and stress of daily life with more fun-filled, pun-filled additional narrative to select stories from the previous volumes. Like with all 4 books which complete the set, the author shares some real life narrative regarding aspects of his own personal life within the timeframe surrounding the creation of the book itself. Because of the big life transitions that have overlaid the author's creation of the series, beginning with the sudden passing of his wife, Harlene in August 2017 up through and beyond his engagement with the second love of his life, Kathy, both Volume 3 and The Final Updates have rather long narratives describing his grief journey and his way forward. The author's unfortunate need to go "no contact" with abusive family members which comprised the essence of the "even more serious twist at the end" in Volume 3 is further expounded upon in The Final Updates. Despite it's seriousness, the authors finds a way to weave humor and word play and bring levity to what, in reality has been a deeply painful experience. This portion of the writing process itself provided therapeutic value to the author and is grounded in a sincere hope that his ability to have brought humor to the situation will help lighten the perspective to any readers who may, unfortunately, be able to relate or are coping with any difficult and challenging experiences or circumstances. The rather lengthy, pun-filled real life introduction contained in the Final Updates interweaves the author's life not only in the context of the toxic family issues, but out into the broader contemporary world with its references to Covid-19, the 2020 presidential election, Donald Trump's dispute of the results up through the attack on the Capitol and the installation of Joe Biden as the 46th President of the United States. It is the author's sincere hope that laughter in connection with historically controversial and shocking and divisive events helps to bring healing to the hearts of many who feel passionate about or who have been directly impacted by the recent challenges of our times. The completion of this series in the form of The Final Updates was a nearly 4 year process that seemed to take on a life of its own in the creative process, especially in light of the fact that the 3rd and 4th and final publication had never been formally planned at the start. Scott has ended this prolonged mission with a deep sense of gratitude for his essentially newly invented life and the benefit of and perspective brought about through personal healing, including having made a great deal of peace with his family issues. The time, creativity and efforts from which Scott's completed book series has been fully realized and made available are strongly in keeping with his philosophy that we give honor to our Creator and to our highest purpose when we make use of the talents bestowed upon us to bring something uplifting and positive into the world.

Download or read book Abjection Incorporated written by Maggie Hennefeld and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2020-01-17 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the films of Larry Clark to the feminist comedy of Amy Schumer to the fall of Louis C. K., comedic, graphic, and violent moments of abjection have permeated twentieth- and twenty-first-century social and political discourse. The contributors to Abjection Incorporated move beyond simple critiques of abjection as a punitive form of social death, illustrating how it has become a contested mode of political and cultural capital—empowering for some but oppressive for others. Escaping abjection's usual confines of psychoanalysis and aesthetic modernism, core to theories of abjection by thinkers such as Kristeva and Bataille, the contributors examine a range of media, including literature, photography, film, television, talking dolls, comics, and manga. Whether analyzing how comedic abjection can help mobilize feminist politics or how expressions of abjection inflect class, race, and gender hierarchies, the contributors demonstrate the importance of competing uses of abjection to contemporary society and politics. They emphasize abjection's role in circumscribing the boundaries of the human and how the threats abjection poses to the self and other, far from simply negative, open up possibilities for radically new politics.

Download or read book Breathe written by J. Sharon and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2017-06-17 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour. (1 Peter 5:8) In order to be sober and vigilant, scripture tells us we need to know our enemy. The more we know about the wiles of the devil and his minions, the easier it is to defeat them. The Bible teaches us how to live godly lives. It's the devil's job to interfere and to crush the things of God in our lives. Jesus was the firstborn of many brethren. What made Him different? Jesus was an empty vessel that the anointing of God could flow through. Jesus never performed a single miracle. He said himself in John 5:30, "I can of Mine own self do nothing; because I seek not Mine own will, but the will of the Father which sent Me." It was the anointing of God that poured through Jesus that spoke the words of His Father, healed the sick, and raised the dead. After Jesus died, the born-again new creatures in Christ became the brethren. We, now, are the vessels that the anointing flows through. Because of this anointing, the devil hates the born-again Christian. His attacks are unrelenting, but as Jesus said in John 17:14-15, "I have given them Thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. I pray not that Thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that Thou shouldest keep them from the evil." I pray that this book can give the reader the knowledge needed to rise above the trappings of the world. God has so much more planned for his people in the Spirit! Step out!

Download or read book At the Scent of Water written by J. Gerald Janzen and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2009-07-28 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "On the basis of a study of "east wind" in the Bible -- "whirlwind" in Job -- Janzen proposes that the prominence God gives to rain in Job 38, with its renewal of the parched earth and the ensuing vigor of all forms of life, signals God's response to Job's thirst, heals Job's bitterness, and restores him to a life at the end of which he dies contented. Janzen demonstrates how life-crippling bitterness is transcended and hope in life's worthwhileness is restored in the face of grievous evil. The resolution of the Joban question lies not in a vindication of divine justice but, rather, in God's renewal of Job's appetite for life. Janzen underscores this interpretation with a candid epilogue on his own struggle with aggressive prostate cancer, which enabled him to connect personally with Job's story and to find a fresh and illuminating grace."--From publisher description.

Download or read book Unhooked written by Laura Dawn and published by Morgan James Publishing. This book was released on 2015-01-06 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We know that the primary reason we eat is because our body needs fuel to survive, yet our relationship with food extends far beyond that---it's not just about what we should or shouldn't be eating. It incorporates aspects of our physiology, emotions, behaviors, and thought patterns, and how we feel about our lives, all rooted in a culture that supports and fosters an unhealthy, disordered relationship with food. Despite our repeated efforts, many of us find ourselves falling back into the same habitual patterns around food---habits that keep us overweight and unhappy. Laura Dawn sheds light on how we get hooked on the food struggle from six primary perspectives: environmental, physiological, behavioral, mental, emotional and spiritual, and provides concrete steps you can take to unhook yourself from the struggle with food. "Unhooked" cuts through the over-complex and contradictory dieting information flooding the market and provides a clear blueprint for people to step onto the path of vibrant health and freedom from the struggle. "Unhooked" approaches the pertinent topic of overeating from a multi-dimensional, holistic, and mindfulness-based approach that encompasses the broader perspective of healing our relationship with food from the inside-out. Drawing on a range of easy-to-understand information, Laura Dawn consistently points to nature, to science, to the wisdom traditions and personal experience for the answers so many seek. "Unhooked" offers a unique framework of solutions, practical tips, a wealth of wisdom and easy to implement advice for anyone struggling with food---whether it be chronic overeating, incessant cravings, food addiction, yo-yo dieting, disordered eating, the inability to eat certain foods in moderation, obsession with weight and preoccupation with food that so many millions of people experience each and every day. "Unhooked" empowers readers to shift their perspective from food as enemy to food as friend, fueling the transformation to vibrant health and reminds us that we are all worthy to live the healthy lives of our dreams.
