Digging Your Own Well
Author: Jacquelene Hurlburt
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1449003478
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
Jacquelene has spent years taking note of what she has learned. She wrote her book because of her love for the Lord and desire to teach others how to live a joyful Christian life that bears fruit bringing glory to our Lord. Spiritual vitamins are examples of solutions taken from the Bible to handle every day trials that have been around since sin entered the world. The excerpts listed below are only three of the 31 Jacquelene discusses. She has had firsthand experience with successfully applying what she learned from the Word of God.Are we angry with God because of our present situation? Are we angry because someone has mistreated us? Are we angry because of the injustice of an unfavorable court decision? Are we justifying our anger by our thinking that God wants us to teach others a lesson? Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of malicious behavior. Ephesians 4:31. Sometimes we are offended by the remarks from these others, and the offense is even more difficult to handle when we know it was a deliberate act. Where do we even begin to start working our way through the complexity of loving people we find difficult? The answer is simple--the Holy Spirit teaches and enables us to do this. He teaches us to move beyond the hurt and pain of the offense and to conquer evil by doing good. Dont let evil get the best of you, but conquer evil by doing well. Romans 12:21. From the start to the finish line, we need to utilize Gods power. We are not to be like those who choose to sit on the bleachers and criticize. Is the race always an easy one? No! There may be many bumps in the road; but our dedication, determination, perseverance, and love for Jesus will help us run across the finish line as a winner for Him! . . .dont let this bad example influence you. Follow only what is good. . . III John 1:11.

I have been the bad guy
Author: Dr. Bernadette "bird" Bowen
Publisher: Dr. Bernadette "bird" Bowen
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 261
Book Description
Have you ever been made to feel like the bad guy? Dr. bird has too. In this brief memoir, they reveal secrets about their life that they have kept hidden for over thirty years regarding compulsory heterosexuality, repressed/unexplored queernesses, and the late in life realization that -- turns out -- they're #actuallyautistic! Retold from their 33-year-old Dr. bird’s eye view, these extensively brave disclosures add one whole lifetime of flesh onto the U.S. body politic. This timely manuscript illuminates, historicizes, and contextualizes the f***ing fact that autism is not “just a trend” taking off just on TikTok recently, but that there are massive neuroqueer self-realizations happening worldwide in the algorithmic envirusment age. Dr. bird’s writing puts the “cut-the-shit” into “slice-of-life,” providing deep and raw disclosures of lifelong confusion, gaslighting, and struggles with family ostracization, friendship loss, vulnerability, sexual violence, and substance abuse. After extensive sharing, it’s time to grieve. They usher in a eulogy for their lifetimes that once were, by diagnosing how foundational U.S. ideas did and continue to dehumanize, sicken, disable, and deaden us. Then, they preach to the global choir about the single most connected time in history. Dr. bird has a lot more puns and trauma than answers, but in the end, recommends some liberatory antibodies for moving forward, far less miserably.

Book Description
Learn to communicate with your dog—using their language “Good reading for dog lovers and an immensely useful manual for dog owners.”—The Washington Post An Applied Animal Behaviorist and dog trainer with more than twenty years’ experience, Dr. Patricia McConnell reveals a revolutionary new perspective on our relationship with dogs—sharing insights on how “man’s best friend” might interpret our behavior, as well as essential advice on how to interact with our four-legged friends in ways that bring out the best in them. After all, humans and dogs are two entirely different species, each shaped by its individual evolutionary heritage. Quite simply, humans are primates and dogs are canids (as are wolves, coyotes, and foxes). Since we each speak a different native tongue, a lot gets lost in the translation. This marvelous guide demonstrates how even the slightest changes in our voices and in the ways we stand can help dogs understand what we want. Inside you will discover: • How you can get your dog to come when called by acting less like a primate and more like a dog • Why the advice to “get dominance” over your dog can cause problems • Why “rough and tumble primate play” can lead to trouble—and how to play with your dog in ways that are fun and keep him out of mischief • How dogs and humans share personality types—and why most dogs want to live with benevolent leaders rather than “alpha wanna-bes!” Fascinating, insightful, and compelling, The Other End of the Leash is a book that strives to help you connect with your dog in a completely new way—so as to enrich that most rewarding of relationships.

Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 221
Book Description
A funny, suspenseful mystery and unlikely friendship story from New York Times bestselling author Gordon Korman—perfect for fans of Swindle and Ungifted. Keenan has lived all over the world but nowhere quite as strange as Centerlight Island, which is split between the United States and Canada. The only thing weirder than Centerlight itself is his neighbor Zarabeth, aka ZeeBee. ZeeBee is obsessed with the island’s history as a Prohibition-era smuggling route. She’s also convinced that her beloved dog, Barney, was murdered—something Keenan finds pretty hard to believe. Just about everyone on Centerlight is a suspect, because everyone hated Barney, a huge dog—part mastiff, part rottweiler—notorious for terrorizing the community. Accompanied by a mild-mannered new dog who is practically Barney’s opposite, ZeeBee enlists Keenan’s help to solve the mystery. As Keenan and ZeeBee start to unravel the clues, they uncover a shocking conspiracy that dates back to Centerlight’s gangster past. The good news is that Keenan may have found the best friend he’s ever had. The bad news is that the stakes are sky-high. And now someone is after them. . . .

Through reflections, remembrances, poems, and vignettes, Reed tracks her own small steps through realms as varied as love, parenthood, loneliness, fear, and connecting to places, other people, and holy presence. Each true story, told in Reeds conversational, nurturing tone, is a tribute to those who have found ways to live happily and healthily after great difficultiesto see the extraordinary in their everyday experiences. Taken as a whole, these moments of rising and falling, of joy and defeat, become our sacred lives.
