God is Killing Me
Author: Patrick B. Parker
Publisher: Page Publishing Inc
ISBN: 1662422938
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 52
Book Description
As if the title of this book doesn’t provoke you enough to want to know what this book is about; the book chronicles some of the details of my faith walk and asks the question, “Who is god and what does god require of you?” Despite what you think, the antithesis of what you believe is true. There is an inherent desire in each of us to know the answer to this question. Until you have the climactic battle with who you are and what your purpose is, then you might find some commonalities with the ideas and thoughts expressed in this book. I wrote this book to provoke the thoughts and feelings of both believers and nonbelievers alike. Unintentionally, I set out on a path of personal disclosure and spiritual discovery as an introspective journey through my stages of faith from “a church-goer” to a “believer,” and there is a difference that can fully be defined by the role that god has in one’s life. Is he revered as a selfish, authoritative ruler who controls us with fear? Contrary to my experiential realities which I have experienced in my twenty-four-year walk in relationship versus religion. Experiencing great tragedies and triumphs and some extraordinary moments of revelation within my personal, professional, and spiritual walk. The primary theme which is prevalent throughout continues to be “the evidential presence of god’s hand throughout the phases of my life which corrected me, directed me, connected me, and convicted me to the crucifying of the mind of the flesh.

Life As I Blow It
Author: Sarah Colonna

Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
In this wickedly funny and irreverent memoir, Chelsea Lately writer and comedian Sarah Colonna opens up about love, life, and pursuing her dreams . . . and then screwing it all up. Sarah believes we all struggle to grow up. Sometimes we want to have fun, not take things too seriously, and have that fourth margarita. Other times we would like to get married, stay in, order Chinese food, and have a responsible, secure life. From her formative years in small-town Arkansas to a later career of dates, drinks, and questionable day jobs, Colonna attempts to reconcile her responsible side with her fun-loving side. Sometimes this pans out, and sometimes she finds herself in Mexico handing out her phone number to anyone who calls her pretty. She moves to Los Angeles to pursue acting, but for years is forced to hone her bartending skills; she wants a serious boyfriend, but won’t give up nights at the bar with her friends. She tries to behave like an adult, but can’t seem to stop acting like a frat boy. In the end, she discovers that there doesn’t have to be just one or the other. And if there’s one thing Colonna has learned from her many missteps, it’s that hindsight is always 100 proof. Includes a Foreword by Chelsea Handler
