Book Description
While the world measures success by the accomplishment of a personal goal or objective, everlasting success is the fulfillment of the purpose of one's existence. Without a true identity and a defined purpose, there is no foundation for a life of freedom and success. I call this book the Titanic remake of the Bible in the sense that it is Bible study with a love story in it. This masterpiece uses scientific reasoning, theological analogies, and a personal biography to recommend six steps that complete a faithful relationship with the divine Creator. During this individual walk of faith, my hope is that you will be introduced to your Perfect Gift, who will help guide you to the purpose of your existence here on earth. The goal of this book is to free you from the bondage of religion and culture by helping you establish your spiritual identity and fulfill your purpose.

Book Description
How do people communicate their romantic feelings? Gift giving is one way. Giving and receiving of gifts is a characteristic of intimate relationships. Gifts are a message, a form of communication with a tangible material object, about love, affection, or concern for the recipient. The "romantic gift" evokes a multitude of intertwined meanings: passion, intimacy, affection, persuasion, care, celebration, altruism, and nostalgia. They can also connote the negative images of obligation and reciprocity. Romantic gift giving may be practiced at rituals, during rites of passage, or for casual occasions, to affirm the continued importance of the romantic relationship. We may even romanticize the giving of gifts to the self, to nonhuman companions, and to others we do not know personally. If loving and giving are a practice, then romantic gift giving is a practice of loving with intimate—or would-be intimate—others. This book addresses gift giving among consumers attempting to express and construct romantic love. It lies at the intersection of consumption, markets, and culture. In societies shaped by the globalizing neo-liberal economic order, increasing wealth disparity, and a partially digitized social environment that they help to co-construct, it may be time to rethink romantic love. Gift giving is a key arena to do so, as gifts make love tangible and act as carriers of meaning as well as cultural symbols. In gift giving the meanings of romance are renewed, renegotiated, and reconstructed. Gifts, Romance, And Consumer Culture demonstrates a wide variety of scholarly work bearing on romantic gift giving using an interpretive consumer research perspective. The book introduces critical studies by scholars in this unfolding and new interdisciplinary field.
