Book Description
They told him he was born sick.... "Luka wonders if Harlan will taste as sinful as he looks. It suddenly dawns on him that Harlan is his forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden. He understands Eve's perspective now because if that apple looked as good as Harlan, then it's no wonder she took a bite." Luka Thomas is a God-fearing Christian. When his family moves to the Bible Belt right before his senior year of high school, he knows he'll blend right in. Sort of. Being gay is a sin, so he's not gay. He's just...experimenting. Then he meets Harlan Sharp and begins to question everything he knew to be true. Harlan stopped believing in fairytales when the darkest days of his past left him scarred, angry, and questioning God's motives. He doesn't trust anyone, let alone Luka, who reminds Harlan of the very same person who hurt him. When blatantly ignoring all of Luka's attempts at conversation doesn't deter him, Harlan begins criticizing the one thing that Luka seems to believe wholeheartedly: his faith in God. With Luka's incredibly strict step-father pressuring him to date a girl, he desperately makes a deal, but at what cost to his budding relationship with Harlan? The Take me to Church Series is a dark, slow-burn, contemporary romance and may be disturbing to some readers so discretion is advised. For a more comprehensive list of trauma reminders present in the series, please see the inside of the book on the page labeled *content warning*. It is available in the pre-view.

No More Sickness!

Languages : en
Pages : 30
Book Description
Those in Zion shall never say '' I am sick.'' Isaiah 33:24 It is God's will that you live a life free from sickness. God wants you well. He desires that you live free from any infirmity or devil of darkness. Your success is dependent upon living a life free from sickness. If you have money and do not have a life free from sickness, then your life is a total failure because at anytime you may go to the journey of no return. What separates Christianity from religion is that we Christians do not get sick, eventhough many do get sick out of ignorance. Religious people do get sick, but Christians do not get sick. When you got born again you became an heir. In that inheritance is Divine Health and Prosperity. It is up to every Christian to appropriate this inheritance. In Eph 1:11 the great Apostle Paul says, we have obtained an inheritance. Christ Jesus did not die intestate, but he left a will in His estate. Faith is an appropriation of that estate. Most of the time, you find yourself trying to get enough faith trying to get God to do something for you, why? Because you do not know that all things you are asking God for, He has already given them to you. You are acting like a disinherited child who has been left out of a father's will. You look around and see you are sick, you look around and see you are broke, everyone around you gets sick because there is an outbreak, you are in a hospital bed lying down there hopeless! What is wrong? Can't God see that you are sick? Why can't God just heal you? You have prayed, you have cried, you have begged, you do not know what to do anymore! Hear this, the most dangerous thing about God is that, if you do not have knowledge about something that concerns any area of your life, God will not condescend to your level and think and operate at your level! He will not think like you! If you are a constantly sick person God will not descend to your level of thinking and think like you and think of healing you in your sickness, no! He will not do that. If you choose to be a disinherited child He will not act like a disinherited parent to you. He is Himself waiting for you to appropriate that which He has done in Jesus Christ which is eternal life. Eternal life has no sickness in it. Its a buffet, you choose whether you want to be sick or not. The very first thing you ought to do is to renew your mind, be cultured in the word Rom12:2 And be not confirmed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good and acceptable, and perfect will of God. Renew your mind by culturing yourself in the Word. The word of God is a mirror in your life. When the word says i am free from sickness, i look at it and know i am free from sickness and disease. The Prophet Isaiah when he searched and saw it in the Spirit he saw us in his time, he saw us in Zion, and said, those in Zion shall never say ' I am sick!' Isaiah33:24. How can this great prophet of God who saw the crucifixion of our Lord Jesus Christ many years before He was born, have the audacity to tell us that we shall never say we are sick! Its either he is lying to us or that he is telling us the real truth. When you got born again, you were born into the City of God, Zion. In this City called Zion, sickness has no place in it, unless out of your ignorance you allow it to invade your territory. Like St John wrote to you in his Epistles saying, little children I write this things unto you THAT YOU MAY KNOW THAT YOU HAVE ETERNAL LIFE, MEANING TO BE AWARE THAT YOU HAVE ETERNAL LIFE, so write I to you these things, that you may know that you have eternal life free from sickness and disease and know how to defeat sickness when it attacks you

How to Be Sick
Author: Toni Bernhard
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 0861716264
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 217
Book Description
This life-affirming, instructive and thoroughly inspiring book is a must-read for anyone who is--or who might one day be--sick. And it can also be the perfect gift of guidance, encouragement, and uplifting inspiration to family, friends, and loved ones struggling with the many terrifying or disheartening life changes that come so close on the heels of a diagnosis of a chronic condition or even life-threatening illness. The author--who became ill while a university law professor in the prime of her career--tells the reader how she got sick and, to her and her partner's bewilderment, stayed that way. Toni had been a longtime meditator, going on long meditation retreats and spending many hours rigorously practicing, but soon discovered that she simply could no longer engage in those difficult and taxing forms. She had to learn ways to make "being sick" the heart of her spiritual practice--and through truly learning how to be sick, she learned how, even with many physical and energetic limitations, to live a life of equanimity, compassion, and joy. And whether we ourselves are sick now or not, we can learn these vital arts of living well from "How to Be Sick."

Happiness: A Memoir
Author: Heather Harpham
Publisher: Henry Holt and Company
ISBN: 125013157X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 318
Book Description
Reese’s Book Club x Hello Sunshine’s April 2018 book pick A shirt-grabbing, page-turning love story that follows a one-of-a-kind family through twists of fate that require nearly unimaginable choices. Happiness begins with a charming courtship between hopelessly attracted opposites: Heather, a world-roaming California girl, and Brian, an intellectual, homebody writer, kind and slyly funny, but loath to leave his Upper West Side studio. Their magical interlude ends, full stop, when Heather becomes pregnant—Brian is sure he loves her, only he doesn't want kids. Heather returns to California to deliver their daughter alone, buoyed by family and friends. Mere hours after Gracie's arrival, Heather's bliss is interrupted when a nurse wakes her, "Get dressed, your baby is in trouble." This is not how Heather had imagined new motherhood – alone, heartsick, an unexpectedly solo caretaker of a baby who smelled "like sliced apples and salted pretzels" but might be perilously ill. Brian reappears as Gracie's condition grows dire; together Heather and Brian have to decide what they are willing to risk to ensure their girl sees adulthood. The grace and humor that ripple through Harpham's writing transform the dross of heartbreak and parental fears into a clear-eyed, warm-hearted view of the world. Profoundly moving and subtly written, Happiness radiates in many directions--new, romantic love; gratitude for a beautiful, inscrutable world; deep, abiding friendship; the passion a parent has for a child; and the many unlikely ways to build a family. Ultimately it's a story about love and happiness, in their many crooked configurations.

Rule No. 3: Never let anyone think they can hurt you and get away with it. I thought I'd seen and felt the worst of it, but there's nothing worse than betrayal. Corina knows who's behind what happened to me and she may think hiding will keep her safe, but after everything that's happened, nothing can keep her safe from me and the Sick Boys. She's a pawn in all of this, but I'll get that information even if it means I have to cut it out of her - piece by fucking piece. This little charade is about to end. They thought they could drag me down into the dirt and grind my soul into the dust. What they failed to realize is that there's nothing left of my soul and I don't mind getting a little dirty if it means getting my revenge. I may have let her fool me once, but there's no way in hell I'll let her fool me twice. After I'm done with her, I'm going after the big boys.

Man is spirit. But what is spirit? Spirit is the self. But what is the self? The self is a relation which relates itself to its own self, or it is that in the relation [which accounts for it] that the relation relates itself to its own self; the self is not the relation but [consists in the fact] that the relation relates itself to its own self. Man is a synthesis of the infinite and the finite, of the temporal and the eternal, of freedom and necessity; in short, it is a synthesis.
