Book excerpt: If you are struggling to make sense of this life, it may be that you arent thinking of heaven as your permanent home. The world may disappoint you, but God will never let you down; you just have to receive His embrace and thereby avoid wasting your pain. In this inspirational memoir, author Emilia En Lair shares her transformation through tribulation, recalling how she turned to God during every single hardship. The trials of her life did not destroy but rather defined her, as God restored her and healed all her wounds and unbearable heartaches. As a consequence, everything she has gained and lost in this world has brought her closer to God by filling her void with spiritual gifts. In addition to her own journey of faith, hope, and miracles, she also offers guided prayers, self-reflections, and further reading from the Scriptures. No matter what trials or pains you are experiencing, you can find healing in Gods love, forgiveness, and faith. Suitcase to Heaven reminds you that you have not yet reached your final destination and that you are still a traveler with some distance yet to go.

Book Synopsis Getting Away With Murder by : Richard D. Mahoney
Download or read book Getting Away With Murder written by Richard D. Mahoney. This book was released on 2011-09-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Getting Away With Murder is an explosive investigation into the death of an American hero, the strange case of the “American Taliban,” and why we never got the truth about either—until now. When John Walker Lindh was arrested in November 2001, Americans were shocked to learn that one of our own had fought for the Taliban. He would come under further fire for the torture and death of CIA officer Mike Spann. The American public was outraged, and the Bush administration vowed to make an example of the traitor. Why then, after threatening treason and the death penalty, did the government suddenly abandon a trial in favor of a soft plea deal? Richard D. Mahoney puts these questions on trial; the final verdict promises to be shocking.

Book Synopsis Arabs and Muslims in the Media by : Evelyn Alsultany
Download or read book Arabs and Muslims in the Media written by Evelyn Alsultany. This book was released on 2012-08-20. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After 9/11, there was an increase in both the incidence of hate crimes and government policies that targeted Arabs and Muslims and the proliferation of sympathetic portrayals of Arabs and Muslims in the U.S. media. Arabs and Muslims in the Media examines this paradox and investigates the increase of sympathetic images of “the enemy” during the War on Terror. Evelyn Alsultany explains that a new standard in racial and cultural representations emerged out of the multicultural movement of the 1990s that involves balancing a negative representation with a positive one, what she refers to as “simplified complex representations.” This has meant that if the storyline of a TV drama or film represents an Arab or Muslim as a terrorist, then the storyline also includes a “positive” representation of an Arab, Muslim, Arab American, or Muslim American to offset the potential stereotype. Analyzing how TV dramas such as West Wing, The Practice, 24, Threat Matrix, The Agency, Navy NCIS, and Sleeper Cell, news-reporting, and non-profit advertising have represented Arabs, Muslims, Arab Americans, and Muslim Americans during the War on Terror, this book demonstrates how more diverse representations do not in themselves solve the problem of racial stereotyping and how even seemingly positive images can produce meanings that can justify exclusion and inequality.

Book Synopsis Attached by : Amir Levine
Download or read book Attached written by Amir Levine. This book was released on 2010-12-30. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Over a decade after its publication, one book on dating has people firmly in its grip.” —The New York Times We already rely on science to tell us what to eat, when to exercise, and how long to sleep. Why not use science to help us improve our relationships? In this revolutionary book, psychiatrist and neuroscientist Dr. Amir Levine and Rachel Heller scientifically explain why some people seem to navigate relationships effortlessly, while others struggle. Discover how an understanding of adult attachment—the most advanced relationship science in existence today—can help us find and sustain love. Pioneered by psychologist John Bowlby in the 1950s, the field of attachment posits that each of us behaves in relationships in one of three distinct ways: • Anxious people are often preoccupied with their relationships and tend to worry about their partner's ability to love them back. • Avoidant people equate intimacy with a loss of independence and constantly try to minimize closeness. • Secure people feel comfortable with intimacy and are usually warm and loving. Attached guides readers in determining what attachment style they and their mate (or potential mate) follow, offering a road map for building stronger, more fulfilling connections with the people they love.
