DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Your partner can and should meet all of your emotional needs." "All disagreements can and should be resolved." “Great relationships require little maintenance.” Old models of marriage such as these are crumbling. Divorce rates remain high. Many people are skeptical and mistrustful about having real love in their lives. It's clear people need new models to help them connect with each other in meaningful, lasting ways. It's time to break free from old patterns of commitment and to forge new pathways for healthy, thriving, deeply loving relationships. This hope-filled resource for developing soulful, mature love is aimed at committed couples who are looking to build, maintain and glorify the sacred in their relationship. It creates a context for couples to honor the gradual movement from physical “flight-fight-freeze” body-based survival to more heart-filled, communication-oriented love, to spiritual awakening and soul-purpose fulfillment. It encourages couples—as individuals and as partners—to let go of dysfunctional, hurtful, restrictive behavior in favor of liberating self-concepts and belief systems. It provides solutions for communicating and problem-solving more effectively, allowing each partner in the relationship to experience more emotional intimacy, joy and sexual pleasure. The book provides relationship information, practical tools and inspirational, real-life stories. It also offers a banquet of spiritual practices for couples of all faiths—or none—to bring these new models into focused action.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHeroes of China’s Great Leap Forward presents contrasting narratives of the most ambitious and disastrous mass movement in modern Chinese history. The objective of the Great Leap, when it was launched in the late 1950s, was to catapult China into the ranks of the great military and industrial powers with no assistance from the outside world; it resulted in a famine that killed tens of millions of the nation’s peasants. Li Zhun’s "A Brief Biography of Li Shuangshuang," written while the movement was underway, celebrates the Great Leap as it was supposed to be: a time of optimism, dynamism, and shared purpose. A spirited young peasant woman, freed from the restrictions of home life, launches a canteen and wins the recognition of authorities and the admiration of her husband. The story—and the film that followed it—made Li Shuangshuang the greatest fictional heroine of the Great Leap. In contrast, Zhang Yigong’s short novel The Story of the Criminal Li Tongzhong, written two decades later, was one of the first works published in China to suggest a much darker side to the Great Leap. A village official leads a raid on a state granary to feed starving peasants; he is later arrested and dies a criminal. Although Zhang stopped short of portraying the horrors of famine, his tone of moral outrage provides a rejoinder to the triumphalism of "Li Shuangshuang." The stories are accompanied by an introduction to the Great Leap and portraits of the two writers, including their recollections of that traumatic time and the creation of their very different heroes.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAs I sit down to write a second devotional book my goal is to provide encouragement for living the Kingdom of God in the here and now. I would also like to challenge us, stretch us and comfort us. I say us because I am a fellow traveler on this journey of faith. I have had many of the same struggles, disappointments and failures, and also have been refreshed by the exuberant grace of our God. Jesus said the way to life is narrow. He did not mean exclusive or difficult. He meant that people don't want to be students. For those willing to make the effort they will discover his yoke is easy and his burden is light. Those who think it hard have looked at Jesus from too far a distance. I love this quote from G.K. Chesterton: "Christianity has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and not tried."

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhen we were trapped in the middle of the night in the San Diego wildfires and embers were hitting our house, the wind howling, my children and husband still asleep, I prayed to God for help, over and over in my mind, desperate and pleading. And, I felt the presence of God around me. I understood completely all those descriptions of God around us, near us, above and below us, inside each of us, light, presence, energy, love. I have four boys- one has had four brain surgeries, one is autistic, one suffers from anxiety from our home burning down in the wildfires. Sometimes life throws us curveballs. This is about survival, struggle, lessons learned, how it is all much easier when you ask for help in prayer, and a recognition that sometimes you aren't even asking the right question- or listening to the answer. We are interconnected in a way that makes all our interactions meaningful, and if we are present, engaging God not just when fearful or needing but also when looking to truly see then we recognize God, in every moment, all around us. - Stories of survival-wildfires, brain surgeries, autism, panic attacks - We can see God on Earth through His presence and messengers, roadblocks, signs - Universal lessons of love - We have the capacity to be present and attuned to the Universe - Knowing your place in the universe is any and every-where - We are interconnected and loved and find purpose and meaning in recognizing the wholeness of the Universe God on Earth- Spiritual Messages and Life Lessons describes surviving wildfires, brain surgeries, autism, panic attacks with God's help through signs, messengers, and His presence.
