No Warm Fuzzies by Zoe Cannon Pdf

Eddie just wants to mind his own business on Christmas Eve. So he’ll be sleeping on the street tonight—so what? He can handle the cold. But of course some obnoxious do-gooder from the shelter across town sees a homeless veteran and wants to earn herself a gold star by helping him out. She’s hopelessly naive, the poor thing. She doesn’t understand that there are monsters on the streets, even on Christmas Eve. If he were a younger man, he’d take this opportunity to add another body to his collection. But he doesn’t do that kind of thing anymore. He’ll have to find another way to scare her off. Too bad she’s as persistent as she is annoying. If it’s the only way to get rid of her, he might just have to let her do something nice for him after all. This short story is 3900 words long. It is also available in Santa’s Rejects, a collection of offbeat Christmas stories.

Kama Muta by Alan Page Fiske Pdf

This book describes a ubiquitous and potent emotion that has only rarely and recently been studied in any systematic manner. The words that come closest to denoting it in English are being moved or touched, having a heart-warming feeling, feeling nostalgic, feeling patriotic, or pride in family or team. In religious contexts when the emotion is intense, it may be labeled ecstasy, mystical rapture, burning in the bosom, or being touched by the Spirit. All of these are instances of what scientists now call ‘kama muta’ (Sanskrit, ‘moved by love’). Alan Page Fiske shows that what evokes this emotion is the sudden creation, intensification, renewal, repair, or recall of a communal sharing relationship – when love ignites, or people feel newly connected. He explains the social, psychological, cultural, and likely evolutionary processes involved – and how they interlock. Kama muta is described as it manifests in diverse settings at many points in history across scores of cultures, in everyday experiences as well as the peak moments of life. The chapters illuminate the occurrence of kama muta in a range of contexts, including religion, oratory, literature, sport, social media, and nature. The book will be of interest to students and scholars from a number of disciplines who are interested in emotion or social relationships.

Handbook of Marital Therapy: A Positive Approach to Helping Troubled Relationships by Robert P. Liberman,Eugene G. Wheeler,Louis A.J.M. de Visser,Julie Kuehnel,Timothy Kuehnel Pdf

In the treatment of marital problems, behaviorally oriented and com munication oriented approaches have been in conflict and seen as con trasting and unlikely bed partners. Many therapists, focusing on com munication skills, have felt that behaviorists were too structured and uncaring; on the other hand, behaviorists have considered humanistic therapists as being "touchy-feely," vague, and unfocused. However, in the Handbook of Marital Therapy, Liberman, Wheeler, de Visser, and the Kuehnels have wedded these two potent approaches into an inte grated framework that makes them loving bed partners. With over a decade of experience in applying behaviorally ori ented treatment to couples, Liberman and his co-authors have devel oped an educational model that focuses on teaching specific commu nication skills to couples. The communication skills they describe have been used extensively in all types of marital therapy, regardless of the therapist's theoretical orientation. The unique contribution of this book is that the authors provide a step-by-step approach to teaching these communication skills within a behavioral framework. Each chapter guides the therapist through the many issues and problems confronting him or her as a change agent. This highly readable book is enhanced by a liberal use of case exam ples. Emphasis is given to homework and structured sessions that focus on increasing specific communication skills in a sequential manner. The advantages of working with couples in a group setting are dis cussed, and concrete suggestions on how to manage these groups are clearly presented.

How to Know for Sure by Dave E. Richardson Pdf

No one likes to think about dying, but it's a reality of life that all of us have to deal with, sooner or later. It seems logical that if Christianity is true and Jesus is real, then he would have wanted us to know for sure where we are going after death. This book takes the words attributed to Jesus in the Bible and provides a logical explanation for creation, giving the reader a way to know for sure if they are bound for heaven or bound for hell. The thirteen chapters are thirteen sermons that start at the beginning of every spiritual journey ("Why am I here?") and take the reader on a logical journey that ends with a way for the reader to know what their true spiritual condition is. The purpose of the book is to explain the gospel in logical language and then offer Jesus' words as proof of the authenticity or falsehood of the reader's conversion experience by the presence or absence of four basic character traits about which Jesus taught frequently. If you read the book, by the last page you will know for sure.

No Longer Strangers by Gregory Coles Pdf

ECPA Top Shelf Book Cover Award Belonging has never come easy to me. Growing up, there was my mutated national identity to deal with—my not-quite-American, not-quite-Indonesian soul, restless in both countries. Later, when I came out as a celibate gay Christian, I found I didn't fit into the church as easily as I used to. I've often wondered what it means to belong to others even when I can't manage to blend in with them. The way Jesus tells it, if we give up on belonging in order to follow him, we'll find ourselves belonging anyway. We might not belong the way other people do, with normal homes and normal families and normal ways of fitting in. But we'll belong in a way that's a hundred times better. We'll be fully in place because we know we are out of place. We'll belong like aliens. Maybe you're caught in the same tension as me, wanting to fit somewhere even as you're permanently out of place. Maybe you feel like an alien. If so, let's be aliens together.

Scripts People Live by Claude Steiner Pdf

A “stimulating and thought-provoking” guide to help you make productive and autonomous choices toward rewriting your life (Los Angeles Times). We choose a “life script” at an early age. But you can change its course. Whether born into wealth or poverty, into nurturing families or damaged abusers, fostered by strict parents or careless and undisciplined ones, each individual still has a spiritual core that exists independent of the environment and is equally crucial to his or her destiny. Countering the fundamental principle of psychiatry which asserts that emotional and mental distress comes from within, Claude Steiner believes that people are innately healthy but develop a pattern early in life based upon negative or positive influences of those around them. Those influences can rule every detail of our lives until our death. Thus children decide, however unconsciously, whether they will be happy or depressed, winners or failures, strong or dependent, caring or cruel, and having decided, they spend the rest of their lives making that decision come true. For those who choose to live by their negative script, the consequences can be disastrous unless they make a conscious decision to change. In Scripts We Live, Steiner tackles the puzzle of human fate. He reveals what determines our life scripts, and how each person’s combination of spirit and circumstance contributes to the final path that life takes. And he offers hopeful advice and practical analysis so that we all can rewrite for ourselves more meaningful and fulfilling lives.
