Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deep down, women long to be seen as beautiful. Each day they are bombarded by the media and society at large by images of how they should appear. The result? Most women feel they just don't measure up - and this beauty myth has crept into our churches too. Christian women may hear that they are made in the image of God; that he looks at the heart and not the outward appearance; that they have been set free from negative thought patterns. But often all that evaporates when they look in the mirror and compare themselves to the images of beauty they see around them.

More likely it was just hours ago, perhaps only minutes Most of us struggle for affirmation of our personal significance by playing the comparison game. How do we measure up to others, what they have or what they've achieved? What is our status when compared to the expectations of others? How do we measure up to our own often unrealistic expectations of ourselves? A healthy competitive spirit can quickly degenerate into addictive, self-destructive playing of the comparison game, a game that we inevitably lose The Comparison Game (How to Disqualify Yourself from Playing), honestly addresses my own struggle with an unhealthy comparison of myself to others and the unreasonable expectations I sometimes place upon myself. The book invites the reader on a personal journey of self-discovery that can result in overcoming the addictive attitudes, thoughts, and actions that keep us playing the comparison game.

Download or read book Catherine the Great Selected Letters written by Catherine The Great and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-07-19 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Your Majesty may find it extraordinary that I should answer with a shipment of fruit your letter of 6 August, in which you inform me that you are sending the plan for a treaty, and that of the 8 September, in which you are so good as to share with me equally important intelligence. Things big and small often come from the same source: my watermelons derive from the same principles as our planned alliance...' (To Frederick the Great) Catherine the Great's letters present a vivid picture of Russia in a momentous age. They also offer a unique account of her personal development and intimate life, her strategic acumen as a diplomat and military commander, and her political skills at the Russian court and in handling foreign monarchs. Born a German princess, Catherine married into the Russian royal family and came to the throne after a coup. As absolute ruler for 34 years she presided over the expansion of the Russian empire, legislated actively to reform the country in keeping with the principles of the Enlightenment, actively promoted the arts and sciences, and in her correspondence engaged with the most renowned minds in Europe, among them Diderot and Voltaire. Her letters are her literary masterpiece, written to a wide circle of associates and friends, not least her most celebrated lover and ally, Potemkin. Combining her wit, charm, and quick eye for detail, they entertain and tell the griping story of a self-made woman and legendary ruler. This edition of the letters offers a taste of Catherine's entire writing career, with biographies of Catherine's addressees, a thorough overview of her reign and an analysis of Catherine's literary skill as a letter-writer. Organized chronologically and thematically into six periods, each section also features an introduction to the domestic, personal and foreign policy contexts out of which her letters emerge.

Download or read book The Great Distraction written by Smoothy and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2021-10-29 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world is filled with uncertainties, and we will never know what tomorrow holds when it comes to whether we will be here or not, but still we live as if it is promised. I prepare for tomorrow because maybe it will come, I prepare for next week being optimistic that next week might come, I prepare for next year knowing that it might not come but I am hopeful, and I prepare for my birthday next year by thanking God for the birthdays that I have already received. Nothing in life is promise to me, but I must chose if I want to live a life of selfishness or selflessness, and I chose the latter. I chose a life that at the end of the day my children will not have to suffer. The sins of the parents really do fall upon the child. Your legacy will never be about what you possess, but how you influence the lives others. No matter how ELABORATE or how EXPENSIVE the funeral, or how ELOQUENT the eulogy or the kind words people may speak of you, the life that you’ve lived will always speak for you. I read today in Proverbs 12:15 and it reads, the way of fools seems right to them, but the wise listen to advise. I guess it is true what they say, word to the wise is sufficient.

Download or read book Tripping into the Light written by Charlie Collins and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2014-06-30 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diagnosed with a rare eye disorder in the third grade, Charlie's self-esteem began to unravel by the thread. He wouldn't have a future as a detective like his hero, Magnum P.I. He would never soar in a jet fighter like he dreamed. He would never drive a race car and see the checkered flag wave. College was out of the question, because he just wasn't smart enough. At least that's what the teachers told him. Only a God who was unusually cruel would shatter the dreams of a little boy by creating him defective. It was the only explanation that made any sense, and it was a crushing blow. If God didn't care about him, why should he care about himself? And so began Charlie's freefall into a world of negative self-talk and ultimately addiction. A self-destructive plummet that would see him cheat death twice as he marched to the precipice of suicide. Raw and brutally honest, Tripping into the Light is a tale of soaring triumphs and heartbreaking defeat. It illustrates the power of true love and the undying spirit of hope. It is about one man's willingness to try just one more time, when it seemed all was lost. Through Charlie's eyes, we see that all things are possible if we are willing to roll up our sleeves and do the work. www.TrippingIntoTheLight.com

As Cady vulnerably wrestles with her questions and raw emotions, she finds one thing that is irreplaceable- hope. We believe you will too.
