In this comforting,inspirational companion to the No.1 New York Times bestseller, A Return to Love, Marianne Williamson returns to her spiritual roots, writing on the art of nurturing a thriving soul in a harsh world. What do your spiritual convictions have to do with traffic jams, job anxiety, reading the newspaper, or arguing with your spouse? Everything, according to Marianne Williamson. It is the way we live in our everyday world that determines the shape of who we are. So Buddhist or Muslim, Christian or Jew, it is the moment when your child fails an exam, when your best friend lands your dream job, or your business instinct tells you to watch your back, that tests and builds our living faith. With an attitude of hope, a call to forgive, a celebration of miracles, and the promise of strength and grace, Williamson helps us find our sacred footing on ordinary ground. No matter where we are or what we're doing, no matter what difficulties we face, there is always an opportunity to be happy, to connect with the spiritual - and to open our hearts and our minds. In the book of hours, Marianne Williamson teaches us to ride the currents of life and to seek out the sacred that will bring forth a sea change of the soul.

"Why do the first generation still act like that?" "Why can't we try some new ideas?" "Why are the second generation so lazy?" "Why are the second generation so disrespectful?" "Isn't it a shame how the church is split between the two generations?" These and many more questions reflect the tangled conflicts within the Asian American church. Cultural differences have led to many misunderstandings and conflicts. Conflicts have created bitterness and churches have split apart. How can these tangled threads be rewoven into a beautiful tapestry of God's grace? What would it take for the Asian American church to reflect God's grace? In Tapestry of Grace, Dr. Benjamin C. Shin and Dr. Sheryl Takagi Silzer apply their years of study and teaching to explain how the cultural complexities that occur between the different generations of the Asian American church can be untangled. Taking lessons from their own spiritual journeys, they show how each generation can experience the amazing grace of the Gospel.

Foster good habits. Press into pain. Never, ever get another perm. Despite what many think, our twenties aren’t that dead space between youth and real life. Done right, they can be among our most important years. In 20 Things We’d Tell Our 20-Something Selves, college professors Peter and Kelli Worrall look back on it all—the good, the bad, and the miserable—to give you the best of what they’ve learned. With humility, warmth, and brilliant storytelling, they invite you not only into their wisdom but into their lives, sharing about faith, marriage, drawn-out adoptions, dark nights of the soul, and the God who’s in it all. 20 Things is more than a list of advice; it’s a book that can change your life. Let the trend of your twenties be sowing wisdom, and who knows what the rest of life will bring? Includes action steps, discussion questions, and ideas for further reading at the end of each chapter.

'Story Line' In a present day setting MARCIA GAY HARDEN plays the lead role; the witty fashionable southern Aunt Blanche with her take on life in general: while challenging the MARINE CORPS on releasing their Basic Training graduating honorees into her town of 'six thousand' - every twelve weeks - understanding a strong defense is needed at all times, but, 'Ten Thousand' horny Marines and rightfully so - as Aunt Blanche states - all with their 'Richards' in hand ready to serve and spread. Thank you for your service - but really, now. All this leaves Aunt Blanche with the problem of scooping up her now eighteen-year-old niece (ward) and getting her out of town - just ahead of the horde of 'Hookers' heading into her town if you will - of both gender. Those on the 'pay roster' and those just delighted (freebies) to be of service - if you will - of both gender. Yet, compounded by another problem; the niece has 'two friends' she will not leave without. What is an Auntie to do? Then, add a young married daughter of Aunt Blanche's thrown into all this mix - on the heels of her scholastic studies together with Scholars inside the 'Catholic' hierarchy - that now following the discovered revelation of the 'African Black Hebrews' dissidents from the 'Ten Lost Tribes of Israel' - the daughter in her group studies believe that JESUS, himself a Jew was also Black. The first Pope was Black. My, oh, my, what is a dear Southern Auntie to do? Also there's Aunt Blanche filling in for the elderly DJ at the only one person Radio Show in town. Next we have that Horse with a mind of (her) own and on a hot summertime afternoon the 'Niece and her Two Friends' decide to share a horseback ride to a local swimming hole that will change their lives; forever.
