I reread this book which is weird for me. I never reread books but I wanted to see what I remembered about the story. Alice fell through a rabbit hole into a fantasy world of nonsense. This book was hard to describe because it doesn't follow any particular plot. It is considered to be one of the best examples of the literary nonsense genre. I enjoyed reading this book because it reminds the reader about just being yourself and having an imagination.
This book was good. I enjoyed it even though a lot of the content was not relatable as the eating thing goes. This book talked about a woman’s desire to be healthy and the spiritual empowerment necessary to make that happen. Craving things is not a bad thing. But God created us to crave more of him. Many times we have misplaced the craving for God with a craving of overindulging in physical pleasures. Learn to stop beating yourself up over the numbers on the scale. Discover that your weight loss struggle isn’t a curse but rather a blessing in the making, and replace justifications that lead to diet failure with empowering go-to scripts that lead to victory. You can reach your healthy weight goal and grow closer to God in the process. This is not a how-to book or the latest and greatest dieting plan.
Annabel Beam spent most of her childhood in and out of the hospital with a rare and incurable digestive disorder that prevented her from ever living a normal life. One she fell three stories headfirst inside an old, hollowed-out tree when playing with her sisters. She could have died but she survived without a scratch. She laid unconscious for hours while the rescue workers tried to save her. She visited heaven. After being released from the hospital, she defied science and was inexplicably cured of her chronic ailment. This is a remarkable true story of faith and blessings and told from a mother's perspective. This was a great book. I enjoyed watching the movie as well. I enjoyed seeing more of the story that the movie left out.
This was a quick read for me. I found somethings useful but not a lot. It was okay.
This book was okay. It was a little bit of a disappointment for me because I knew a lot of the material already. The book was separated into three sections. The first section Chosen. This talked about how we are chosen by God to fulfill His purpose and how the Devil tries to deceive us. The second section Trained talked about what God uses to teach us by using fire and water. This was my favorite section. Then the third section was Armed which talked about the different types of swords and how to use them. I learned a lot in this section.
James Van Praagh is a spiritual medium--someone who is able to bridge the physical and spiritual worlds. Unaware of his spiritual gifts until he was in his twenties, he slowly came to terms with his unique abilities. In addition, many of his sessions with grieving people who came to him looking to contact the spirits of deceased loved ones are explored. Van Praagh also helps the reader recognize and positively deal with the pain of grief in a healthy, honest manner. This book was excellent!
Convicted and sentenced to fifteen months at the infamous federal correctional facility in Danbury, Connecticut, for delivering a suitcase of drug money. From her first strip search to her final release, Kerman learns to navigate this strange world with its strictly enforced codes of behavior and arbitrary rules. She meets women from all walks of life, who surprise her with small tokens of generosity, hard words of wisdom, and simple acts of acceptance. Heartbreaking, hilarious, and at times enraging, Kerman’s story offers a rare look into the lives of women in prison, why it is we lock so many away, and what happens to them when they’re there. I also met the author at an event.
