How to Fall in Love with Anyone by Mandy Len Catron Pdf

“A beautifully written and well-researched cultural criticism as well as an honest memoir” (Los Angeles Review of Books) from the author of the popular New York Times essay, “To Fall in Love with Anyone, Do This,” explores the romantic myths we create and explains how they limit our ability to achieve and sustain intimacy. What really makes love last? Does love ever work the way we say it does in movies and books and Facebook posts? Or does obsessing over those love stories hurt our real-life relationships? When her parents divorced after a twenty-eight year marriage and her own ten-year relationship ended, those were the questions that Mandy Len Catron wanted to answer. In a series of candid, vulnerable, and wise essays that takes a closer look at what it means to love someone, be loved, and how we present our love to the world, “Catron melds science and emotion beautifully into a thoughtful and thought-provoking meditation” (Bookpage). She delves back to 1944, when her grandparents met in a coal mining town in Appalachia, to her own dating life as a professor in Vancouver. She uses biologists’ research into dopamine triggers to ask whether the need to love is an innate human drive. She uses literary theory to show why we prefer certain kinds of love stories. She urges us to question the unwritten scripts we follow in relationships and looks into where those scripts come from. And she tells the story of how she decided to test an experiment that she’d read about—where the goal was to create intimacy between strangers using a list of thirty-six questions—and ended up in the surreal situation of having millions of people following her brand-new relationship. “Perfect fodder for the romantic and the cynic in all of us” (Booklist), How to Fall in Love with Anyone flips the script on love. “Clear-eyed and full of heart, it is mandatory reading for anyone coping with—or curious about—the challenges of contemporary courtship” (The Toronto Star).

How to Tell If Someone Truly Loves You by Femi Ogunjinmi Pdf

Statistics show that about nine-in-ten Americans cited love as a very important reason to get married. Whether you are single, dating or in a relationship, the thought of if someone truly loves you or you are in love comes to mind. We all want to fall in love and get married to someone who feels the same way we feel about them. However, people find it hard to say those three big words (I Love You) we want to hear. The reason for their hesitation varies. They are afraid to be perceived as moving too fast if it's a relatively new relationship, so they don't want to push you away. It could be because they don't want to come off too strong if they cannot tell that you have similar feelings. And some people hold off saying it because they feel like the other person should say it first. Regardless if they are professing their love or hiding it, this book will reveal the signs that convey someone truly loves you and if what you are feeling also is true love.Dr. Femi "Gfem" Ogunjinmi is a global relationship new rule expert, TV host of Dr. Femi Show, United Nation Representative, and author of Revelations of Relationship: What You Don't Know About Finding True Love and Sustaining Relationship.

God Is Speaking by Thaddeus Wright Pdf

This book is about one thing, and that is to bring people all over the world closer to God. This book is about being able to hear and apply what God is saying to us as a people. It is about what God is saying, not what I, the author, am saying. This book is intended to help motivate and inspire the unbeliever to become a believer and a servant of the Most High God and to bring the believer even closer to God. In this book, I use personal experiences to illustrate that no matter what people may be going through or what they have done, God is still in the delivering business. This book is all about praising and giving God the glory in spite of how your situation looks. It is about praising your way out of your storm rather than walking through the storm with your head held down. This book is all about our father, creator, healer, deliverer, and savior, Jesus Christ.

Sanctorum Communio: A Theological Study of the Sociology of the Church. by Dietrich Bonhoeffer Pdf

Dietrich Bonhoeffer was an important theologian, biblical interpreter, pastor, ecumenist, and leader in the Confessing Church in Germany during the Nazi period. His writings and the example of his life continue to speak to people from many backgrounds. Here, for the first time in English is Sanctorum Communio in its entirety, including all material omitted from the original 1930 German publication. Bonhoeffer's doctoral dissertation sets out the theology of sociality that informed all his work, engaging social philosophy and sociology to interpret the church as "Christ existing as church-community." Here are the roots of his commitment to the Confessing Church and the ecumenical movement, and of his actions in the resistance movement for the sake of peace and Germany's future.

Martha C. Nussbaum by Martha Craven Nussbaum Pdf

The philosophical writings of Martha C. Nussbaum, Professor of Law at the University of Chicago, are distinguished by their synthesis of different research areas and by their treatment of current, socially controversial issues. In her ethical and political philosophy, Nussbaum gives detailed readings of works from ancient Greece and Rome, interpreting classical texts with a view to their relevance for contemporary questions. Her "capabilities-approach", developed through her work on Aristotle, has become an established part of political philosophy and of the ethics of the good life. Spurred by her involvement with international organizations, Nussbaum has also employed her philosophical program to confront and investigate ways of solving problems of social justice. In this volume, Nussbaum's work is examined in the context of current philosophical debates, with discussions other thinking on the relationship of literature and ethics, on feminism, on the politics of international development, and on the idea of cosmopolitanism.
