The Battle for the Mind: How You Can Think the Thoughts of God - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: The dichotomy of this book juxtaposes success and failure while solidifying the truth that walking with God is not conflict free because the essential nature of man is a unity of two (dichotomy) distinct realities, one physical (body) and spiritual (soul, spirit, mind). When the question is asked, What is the mind? The authors present a logical case for linking the paradigms of the mind from theology (truth) to philosophy (the search for truth) to provide a deeper understanding of two opposing forces that cause the battle between the desires of the flesh and the will of the spirit.
Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts: Seven Questions to Ask Before and After You Marry - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: After boarding the plane, we fell into our seats, exhausted. Somuch time and energy had led up to that wedding ceremony. Andit had gone as planned. But now what? Both of us sat on the plane,emotionally spent, quietly pondering the meaning of marriage. Whatwas it all about, this marriage? Why didn’t I feel any different? Whowas this person I married, really?For Better or Worse?Let’s be honest. The “till death do us part” statement of the marriagevow rings increasingly ironic. In the 1930s, one out of seven marriagesended in divorce. In the 1960s, it was one out of four. Of the 2.4million couples who will get married this year in the United States,it is predicted that at least 43 percent will not survive. For too manycouples, marriage has become “till divorce do us part.”1Every couple marrying today is at risk. More than two-hundredthousand new marriages each year end prior to the couple’s secondanniversary. After they toss the bouquet and return the tuxedos,couples often assume they’re headed for marital bliss. But a study ofthose who recently tied the knot revealed that 49 percent reportedhaving serious marital problems. Half were already having doubtsabout whether their marriages would last.2The truth is, most engaged couples prepare more for their wed-ding than they do for their marriage. The $50-billion-a-year weddingindustry can testify to that fact. According to experts, the averagetwo-hundred guest wedding today costs twenty-two thousand dol-lars.3 More than one million copies of bridal magazines are sold eachmonth, focusing mainly on wedding ceremonies, honeymoons, andhome furnishings — but not on marriage itself

100 Simple Secrets of Happy Families : What Scientists Have Learned and How You Can Use It (100 Simple Secrets Series) - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Steve Burkett likes to talk about families—his family, your family,families in general. “Just think for a minute about the kinds ofmessages we receive every day,” says Steve, a retired sociologist, aparent, and a grandparent. “We read that people are workinglonger hours to avoid being with their families. We hear thatdivorce rates have hit a record high. Extended families don’t existand elderly family members in need are cast aside. Meanwhile,children are out of control, doing things that boggle the imagina-tion. It’s in the newspapers, the TV news, the shows and movies wewatch, the songs we listen to. We have a family-averse popular cul-ture, and we’re in danger of having a family-averse culture.“We wouldn’t be here without families. We literally would not behere. And yet the message out there is ‘run and hide.’ It’s like anall-encompassing public health warning—except it’s about the illsof marriage, of sibling relationships, of dealing with parents, ofdealing with children. I just saw a study with experts referring topeople in their early twenties as being in an extended adolescence,while they are now calling adolescence an extension of toddleryears, which is like saying the twenties are an extension of the ter-rible twos.“A family structure is as old as recorded time,” adds Steve, “andyet here we are, theoretically advanced in so many ways, and wehear about family life as if it’s some kind of extreme, dangerousxisport like cliff diving. And the worst of it is, for far too many peoplethat’s true. Too many people feel their family life is out of controlor just plain unfulfilling.”Polls confirm that many people share Steve’s concerns. Whenasked whether they thought morals were improving or declining,eight out of ten said declining. When asked why, their most fre-quent response was the instability of marriage and family.Steve says that the long-held expectation that every new genera-tion would enjoy advantages unknown to previous generationsfeels like it is being turned on its head. “We may have more free-dom than ever, more ability to choose our paths in life, but ourfamily life is going backward,” he says. All this at a time when“families are more important than ever.”
Face It and Fix It: A Three-Step Plan to Break Free from Denial and Discover the Life You Deserve - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: World-renowned interventionist Ken Seeley, one of the hosts of A&E's hit television series Intervention, has spent the past twenty years helping people and their families deal with and overcome life-threatening addictions. His clients have ranged from the homeless to multimillionaires, each needing professional help with every problem imaginable, including alcoholism, drug dependency, excessive gambling, sexual addiction, abusive behavior, and mental disorders. A few years into his career, Ken realized that the one common characteristic with each of his clients was denial. He has since built his success on a proven program for pinpointing and dealing with this core issue. Whether coping with a severe or a soft addiction, a life-threatening situation, or just an impediment to true happiness, we're all in denial about something. It might be small and seemingly innocent, such as the fact that you're not trying to excel in your job as much as you could or should be. Or it could be much larger and even potentially lethal, such as a full-blown addiction that at this very moment is destroying your life. The truth is, no matter who you are, no matter how small or large your problems may seem, denial is holding you back from living your life to the fullest. Denial is the number one symptom of addiction. It's the mask that lets addicts ignore and avoid the consequences of their actions. But what most people don't know is that denial is also the fuel that creates an addiction in the first place—as well as nearly every other disorder, behavior, and habit that can negatively affect your life. In Face It and Fix It, Seeley leads readers through a three-step process to remove life-damaging denial in order to live balanced and healthy lives. He helps readers first to identify life-damaging behaviors; next he gives the tools necessary to break down the walls that denial builds up over time; and finally he shows how to maintain balanced lives and relationships. Whether you're looking for help for someone you love or struggling with an addiction of your own, Face It and Fix It will leave you with a greater sense of self-awareness and the skills you need to both improve your relationships and to live the life you deserve.

Japanese Core Words and Phrases: Things You Can't Find in a Dictionary (Power Japanese Series) (Kodansha's Children's Classics) - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Some Japanese words and phrases, even though they lie at the core of the language, forever elude the student's grasp. They are not explained satisfactorily in dictionaries or textbooks for the simple reason that they cannot be conveniently defined. Japanese Core Words and Phrases brings these recalcitrants to bay. The book is divided into two parts, each of which is arranged in alphabetical order. The first part is devoted to words indicating physical as well as psychological distance-roughly equivalent to "this," "that," "that over there," and "where," but quite different in usage. Physical distance is covered in most textbooks, but psychological distance-every student's nemesis-is not. The second part of the book covers a variety of idiomatic expressions, many of which appear in Japanese proficiency tests. Each entry word or phrase is not simply explained but exemplified in sentence form, clarifying its meaning (in the case of many students) for the very first time. Japanese Core Words and Phrases has a great deal to offer the beginning student and much to offer the intermediate student. Little more can be asked of a book on the Japanese language. Previously published in the Power Japanese series as Core Words and Phrases: Things You Can't Find in a Dictionary.
