It's a fast-track, crazy-quilt world. If you find yourself living too often in rush mode, life out of kilter, dreams just out of reach, this book is for you. Whatever your circumstances, you can bring your life into balance. Stop worrying about what you're not and start focusing on what you can be. Like "squeaky voice" Antonio who couldn't sing -- so he made Stradivari violins -- you can turn disabilities into advantages, negative attitudes into positive, and panic into peace. Using transforming "Homework for the Heart" exercises, Carolyn Sutton invites us in Part I to apply Christ-modeled guidelines for attaining better balance. Part II empowers us to exercise the rights purchased for us on Calvary, enabling a more consistent spiritual walk and bringing us into deeper intimacy with the Savior. For a spiritual tuneup, let Carolyn Sutton help you get rid of guilt, polish your persistence, and recover your equilibrium. Turn your life into a Stradivarius, then revel in the music. Book jacket.
Jacques Martineau, Olivier Ducastel, Alain Guiraudie, Sébastien Lifshitz and Céline Sciamma. The films of these five major French directors exemplify queer cinema in the twenty-first century. Comprehensive in scope, Queer cinema in contemporary France traces the development of the meaning of queer across these directors’ careers, from their earliest, often unknown films to their later, major films with wide international release. Whether having sex on the beach or kissing in the high school swimming pool, these cinematic characters create or embody forward-looking, open-ended and optimistic forms of queerness and modes of living, loving and desiring. Whether they are white, beur or black, whether they are lesbian, gay, trans* or queer, they open up hetero- and cisnormativity to new ways of being a gendered subject.
While the stories that make up God's Brains suggest that the skies of the future will certainly not be pure blue, through their ironic edge and secular bite, they suggest that there are always new energies to be found from the setbacks and the sinking 'Titanics' of our lives
“A masterfully curated collection...You don’t have to be a sailor to be blown away by this fascinating, bighearted book.” —Nathaniel Philbrick, author of In the Heart of the Sea, Travels with George, and Second Wind A story as vast and exhilarating as the open ocean itself, SAILING ALONE chronicles the daring, disastrous, and often absurd history of those who chose to sail across the ocean, in very small boats, alone. Sailing by yourself, out of sight of land, can be invigorating and terrifying, compelling and tedious - and sometimes all of the above in one morning. But it is also a wide expanse of time in which to think. Sailing Alone tells the story of some of the remarkable people who, over the last four centuries, have spent weeks and months, moving slowly over the world's largest laboratory: a capricious and startling place in which to observe oneself, the weather, the stars, and countless sea creatures, from the tiniest to the most massive and threatening. Richard J. King profiles characters famous, diverse, international, and obscure, from Joshua Slocum of 1898 to modern teenagers daring to take the challenge. They see strange hallucinations, lie to us (and themselves) on their travel logs, encounter sharks, befriend birds, and experience ESP, all part of the unnerving reality of extended isolation. And some disappear altogether. Sailing Alone also recounts the author's own nearly catastrophic solo crossing of the Atlantic, and the mystery of his inexplicable survival one sunny afternoon. An enormously engaging new book for skippers and armchair voyagers alike.
