When Life Isn't Fair by Joel Freeman Pdf

It is perhaps the most-asked question in any time period: "Why does God allow suffering?" Certainly, every human experiences pain and rejection. If the difficulty is long-term, one can almost be driven mad with grief or anger. We want to know why. Physical and emotional problems are so draining, we become obsessed with "fairness." How do we reconcile our concept of a powerful, loving God with the fact of child death? Or greed? Divorce? Often, we don't. That is exactly where Joel Freeman finds many of the people he counsels. Rather than giving pat answers, he relies on spiritual tools to deal with pain. It's a method that has worked remarkably well, and one that can indeed help you or a loved one through a personal valley.

I Choose Brave by Katie Westenberg Pdf

What if fear is the new brave? That's the question that you need answered if you are living afraid. Finding courage begins with fear itself--fear of the Lord. I Choose Brave reveals a countercultural plan to help you where you are--knee-deep in fears of parenting, the future, your marriage, and a world that feels unstable. When you're feeling fearful, the last thing you need is a social-media meme telling you to simply "power through" your fears. In I Choose Brave, Katie Westenberg digs deep into Scripture and shows that finding the courage to overcome our fears must start with fear of the Lord. Hundreds of passages speak to this foundational truth, yet we have somehow relegated them to antiquity. In sharing her own compelling story of facing her worst fear, Katie serves up theological truth with relatable application. In this book, you will · discover a fresh take on an old truth that displaces fear once and for all · understand why the culture's idea of "fearlessness" is a farce · access the holy courage you were made for With this new knowledge comes tremendous freedom. Hidden in the cleft of the Rock, the One truly worthy of our fear, you will begin to understand the only path to real courage.

It's Not Fair by Melanie Dale Pdf

Hey, you. Are you debating whether to destroy something with your bare hands or curl up on the couch for a decade or two? This book will solve all of your problems. (Sheesh, that's aiming a bit high.) This book is a cup of hot coffee, a ginormous bar of chocolate, or the magical fairy that comes over and does your dishes while you lie in the fetal position clutching a fluffy pillow. Sometimes when life falls apart the only acceptable response is hysterical laughter. When things get so far gone, so spectacularly a world away from any plans you made or dreams you dreamed, you feel it bubbling up inside of you and you scream, "It's not fair!" And it isn't. Fair is an illusion, and life is weird. This book will help you laugh at life's absurd backhands. This book is an empathetic groan of our collective unfairnesses. You might want to throw it across the room, and you might want to hug it like your new best friend. This book is about us sitting down together in our shared mess, taking a deep breath, gripping hands, looking the hard stuff in its beady little eyeballs, and bahahahaaing at it. Life's not fair, but we can learn to love this life we didn't choose.

The 7 Laws of Magical Thinking by Matthew Hutson Pdf

In this witty and perceptive debut, a former editor at Psychology Today shows us how magical thinking makes life worth living. Psychologists have documented a litany of cognitive biases- misperceptions of the world-and explained their positive functions. Now, Matthew Hutson shows us that even the most hardcore skeptic indulges in magical thinking all the time-and it's crucial to our survival. Drawing on evolution, cognitive science, and neuroscience, Hutson shows us that magical thinking has been so useful to us that it's hardwired into our brains. It encourages us to think that we actually have free will. It helps make us believe that we have an underlying purpose in the world. It can even protect us from the paralyzing awareness of our own mortality. In other words, magical thinking is a completely irrational way of making our lives make rational sense. With wonderfully entertaining stories, personal reflections, and sharp observations, Hutson reveals our deepest fears and longings. He also assures us that it is no accident his surname contains so many of the same letters as this imprint.

Life Isn't Fair - But God Is! by Rev. Wilbert Donald Gough Pdf

Each day brings pleasures, possibilities, and problems. That is just a simple fact of life, and most people realize that. What many fail to realize, however, is that others have faced what they have ― and these veterans of triumphs, trials, and tribulations have much wisdom to share. Author Wilbert Donald Gough shares how the experiences of those in the Bible can help anyone handle everyday life. He focuses on God and how He dealt with His followers; on Jesus, who showed people what God is like and to instill the love of God in followers; and on people the author has known and who have inspired him throughout his life. Gough considers select biblical passages to help anyone find inspiration and strength to manage their daily life with a "common sense" understanding of God's Word. Let Gough help you discover what God has in store for you. Life Isn't Fair - But God Is can show you how God can make you the best somebody possible!

Life Is Fair by Tommy Ajayi Pdf

Most people think that circumstances create or forge the path or trajectory of their life. What if, instead of the circumstances themselves, it's our response to them that determines our success and happiness? Life Is Fair looks at the intersections of metaphysics, science, quantum mechanics, spirituality, religion, and draws perspectives about what they all have to say about success and happiness. This book helps readers answer questions such as: Who am I? What is the origin of life and human life? What is my relationship with my body, the world and nature? How do I call prosperity, abundance and success into my life? And more... Rain falls on everyone: rich, poor, black, white, old, young, beautiful, ugly, sick, and healthy. It's just the weather. The question is: Are you going to dance and sing in the rain or are you going to feel sorry about your wet clothes?
