Book Description
After spending seven years in prison, CHAMPAGNE comes home seeking to break the cycle of being another statistic. Raised in a household where the motto was either stack or starve, will he be able to fight the hustler's temptation? Or will he get caught slipping and, therefore, fall back into old habits. Being addicted to foreign cars, designer clothes and shiny jewelry, MARIE refuses to live like an average Jane. When decisions must be made rather to choose greed or love, will she finally realize that everything that glitters ain't gold? MIKA is a plus-sized woman, with a plus-sized heart to go with it. All her life she was looked down upon by her friends, family, and people she didn't even know, because of her weight. After so many heartbreaks and let downs, she feels that a man will never love her. But is she giving up a little too soon? Does love really come without a sacrifice or can it be given freely with a hidden agenda?

The Marriage Builder
Author: Larry Crabb
Publisher: Zondervan
ISBN: 0310337046
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 193
Book Description
Bestselling author Larry Crabb cuts to the heart of the biblical view of marriage: the "one-flesh" relationship. He argues convincingly that the deepest needs of human personality--security and significance--ultimately cannot be satisfied by a marriage partner. We need to turn to the Lord, rather than our spouse, to satisfy our needs. This frees both partners for "soul oneness," a commitment to minister to our spouse's needs rather than manipulating them to meet our own needs. With "soul oneness" comes renewed "body oneness," where couples enjoy sexual pleasure as an expression and outgrowth of a personal relationship. The Marriage Builder also identifies three building blocks essential to constructing marriage: the grace of God, true marriage commitment, and acceptance of one's mate. Discussion questions are included to aid couples who want to dig into it and apply the principles to their own lives and marriages. The Marriage Builder is for anyone who longs to transform marriage from trial to triumph.

Work Won't Love You Back
Author: Sarah Jaffe
Publisher: Bold Type Books
ISBN: 1568589387
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 432
Book Description
A deeply-reported examination of why "doing what you love" is a recipe for exploitation, creating a new tyranny of work in which we cheerily acquiesce to doing jobs that take over our lives. You're told that if you "do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life." Whether it's working for "exposure" and "experience," or enduring poor treatment in the name of "being part of the family," all employees are pushed to make sacrifices for the privilege of being able to do what we love. In Work Won't Love You Back, Sarah Jaffe, a preeminent voice on labor, inequality, and social movements, examines this "labor of love" myth—the idea that certain work is not really work, and therefore should be done out of passion instead of pay. Told through the lives and experiences of workers in various industries—from the unpaid intern, to the overworked teacher, to the nonprofit worker and even the professional athlete—Jaffe reveals how all of us have been tricked into buying into a new tyranny of work. As Jaffe argues, understanding the trap of the labor of love will empower us to work less and demand what our work is worth. And once freed from those binds, we can finally figure out what actually gives us joy, pleasure, and satisfaction.
