A “foreign” mother struggles to make a home for her family in a society she only vaguely comprehends . . . A baby girl is abandoned in a bus-station rest room . . . And thus five lives and more are caught up in a binding net of affection and responsibility, of sibling loyalty, romantic longing, and maternal love.
Before the days of the remote control, which is a term no longer used in today's high-tech jargon, we, as Americans, had to suffer through the infant stages of modern electronics, such as if we didn't have children, we had to get up from our recliner to change the channel on the TV; when we entered the driveway, we had to get out of the car to raise the garage door; thenaEUR"the aEURoebiggieaEURaEUR"when the phone rang, we would call out, aEURoeWould someone get that phone call!aEUR That phone back then was tethered to its base unit that was plugged to the wall receptacle known as a aEURoephone jack.aEUR Using this analogy, and spiritually speaking, our holidays have lost their true foundational roots. Even the true meaning of the word holiday has been lost from its intended term, holy day. These holy days are broken down into the four seasons of the year. Spring, summer, autumn, and winter contain the holy days we celebrate and their true meaning that, over the years, have suffered. Most of these short stories are taken from biblical accounts that had been labored at great lengths with the Holy Spirit to bring to you the reader these aEURoetrue-life fictionalaEUR accountsaEUR"accounts that are timeless biblically and can be reviewed over and over again as faith builders.

The purpose of this book, God's Personality, is that we all want to know what personality of God that is not like our personality. Our personality changes like the weather, but God's personality does not; his personality is everlasting. With us, we have two kinds of personality. There are the loved kind and the unloved kind. In this book, I am going to talk about both sides. A man's personality versus God's personality. Many of us ask the question, Why are so many things happening today, like murder, shooting, terrorist attacks, robbery, and things like kidnapping, and God is not doing anything about them? I will talk about that as I go through this book. There are many things as humans that we need to know about God and his ways. As we go through chapter to chapter, detailing the study of the fruit of the Spirit, I will awaken your thought and understanding. You need to see and know him as he is. He is not like us. He gives us a chance to be like him, but we have to work at it, by being the people that he created us to be. This too, I will be explaining in this book. If you know how to act toward others and the way you treat them and the way you carry yourself in everyday life, God has given you some talents to work with. This book Understanding God's Personality will answer many questions that one may ask concerning the fallen state of man. If we had the personality of God, many of us would not fall along the way, not knowing which way is right. Jesus said, "I am the way the truth and the light." I would like to see everyone go in the right way, that straight and narrow pathway to heaven, and rejoice with the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, with the angel singing the highest praise to the Lamb of God. In Isaiah 38:19–20 (KJV), Hezekiah said, "The Living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth. The Lord was ready to save me: therefore we will sing my songs to the stringed instruments all the days of our life in the house of the Lord." This to let them know that God can do the same for them. To love God—you need much to serve him!

More than twenty-five million Americans are treated with antidepressants each year, at a cost in excess of $50 billion.

Addressing a range of diagnoses, including dysthymia, anxiety-based depression, and bipolar disorder, Yoga for Depression reveals why specific postures, breathing practices, and meditation techniques can ease suffering and release life’s traumas and losses. Weintraub also reflects on her own experience with severe depression, from which she recovered through immersing herself in a daily yoga routine. Yoga for Depression is the first yoga book devoted exclusively to the treatment of these debilitating conditions. Amy Weintraub will help readers see their suffering and themselves in a vibrant new light.
