May you find a part of your journey amongst its pages.
This book of parodied proverbs represents the first collection of such twisted or anti-proverbs in the English language. It contains over 3,000 texts based on 320 traditional Anglo-American proverbs. The twisted proverbs were located in dozens of books and articles on puns, one-liners, toasts, quotations, aphorisms, and graffiti. Many examples are also based on advertisements, caricatures, cartoons, comic strips, and headlines from magazines and newspapers. About 75 illustrations from the mass media are also included. While many of these humorous texts are based on mere puns and wordplay, there are also numerous satirical anti-proverbs that contain revealing social comments: Eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow they may recall your credit card. Marry in haste, and pay alimony at leisure. Taste makes waist. A split personality is the only case where two can live as cheaply as one. All work and no play makes you a valued employee. Where there's a will there's a loophole. The lawyer agrees with the doctor that the best things in life are fees. A condom is the mother of all prevention. Do unto others before they do unto you. Take care of your character and your reputation will take care of itself. If at first you don't succeed, you are fired.
Funny quotes broken out into 16 categories ranging from relationships to Health and Fitness. Things you want to say but probably should keep to yourself.
In this devotional, we are drawing from the wisdom well that is the book of Proverbs. We challenge you to unlearn what you have always known and re-learn wisdom according to the word of God. In our generation, the line between godly and ungodly is blurred and it will require that we go back and learn the basics of our foundation.
"Spiritual forces impact all humanity and cannot be controlled by Man. Their impact can and will be positive or negative, and they are helped or hindered by prayer and its intent. Our senses can be programmed by what we consume from different media sources. Our senses move us toward truth or error, and that movement will produce results. Do you know whose spirit is influencing your choices today?"--Page 4 of cover
....If you are happy with the way this world has prepared for the second coming of Christ, fine. Go your merry way and enjoy. I am not, and the results are why you are reading this story. I was raised by a very strong believing Mother. She taught the truth always wins, be sure your sins will find you out and as you sow, so shall you reap. ...She didn't prepare me for this world, but for the next. When I finally understood this, it was too late. I could not believe it was possible to have the Spirit of Jesus Christ enter my heart, mind and soul, and feel no difference. For years I searched for the feeling of total acceptance. I often felt the presence of the Holy Spirit, but it was always in someone else. I could not find the feelings, I was looking for. It's not possible to list the extent and searching of this journey, but in the end, I gave up. ...If there is no God, it makes no difference. If there is a God, and He won't talk to me, that's worse. So I quit. The last day, when all living beings go before the final judgment, I have no defense. I believed, by not talking to me, God was not living up to His promise. Then I got very happy. ...All my worries about Hell's fury and roasting for the rest of time, vanished. I set a time limit of three weeks and then I was going to stop living. Nothing fancy, I was going to find a simple way to stop living. I rejected this life completely. My worries were over. ...Then, after two weeks, I got an overwhelming desire to get a pencil and paper. The desire was so strong, if I didn't have paper in time, I would write on table tops or anything that was handy. They were poems. They came pouring from my hand. They came so fast, there is no way I could tell them that fast. Now I offer them to those that think there has to be more in this life. ...The hope and prayers that we will be covered by His Loving Grace, even though we make no effort to live better, just don't wash. If you want to live again, you have got to try. I say again. If you believe you already have a passkey to Heaven, Have a nice day. If these poems can help one person, Praise God !!
This overview of the theme of weakness in the Bible offers readers practical encouragement and hope as they learn to view their frailties as part of God’s plan and purpose for their lives. Our culture deifies strength—and sadly, the church does too. Who has the most successful ministry, the largest congregation, or the godliest family? Our misplaced faith in human strength is a false hope with no basis in Scripture. But a closer look throughout the Bible reveals the central role human frailty plays in the redemption story. From Genesis to Revelation, God’s power is made perfect when people are at their weakest. Far from an undesirable defect, God designed our weakness to draw us closer to himself. As you learn to accept the good gift of weakness, you will experience true strength—the kind that only comes from a loving and infinitely powerful God.
Margery Mutters has just received a curious letter notifying her of her uncle's death. It comes in no ordinary envelope: piercing black eyes on the envelope cast a spell on her, and odd things start to happen. Driven by the enchanting eyes, she is soon on a journey to an island full of secrets: Rooke's Island. Margery sets off to explore the three levels of this bizarre land that she has just inherited, riding the super root coaster through the tunnels that run through the Lower Earth like a subway. Then, she plunges deep down through a shaft into the island's very core and enters the kingdom of the Inner Earth. From the peculiar to the creepy and downright terrifying, nothing makes sense, and nothing is familiar-but there's no turning back. When Margery meets the wise and magical owls who inhabit these Earths, their secrets become her own. She is invited to take her uncle's place on their Council of Owls, and she unintentionally becomes an integral part of their ancient prophecy. But even the slightest change in history could affect the owls' destiny for another thousand years
In this elegantly written study, Nancy Mason Bradbury situates Chaucer’s last and most ambitious work in the context of a zeal for proverbs that was still rising in his day. Rival Wisdoms demonstrates that for Chaucer’s contemporaries, these tiny embedded microgenres could be potent, disruptive, and sometimes even incendiary. In order to understand Chaucer’s use of proverbs and their reception by premodern readers, we must set aside post-Romantic prejudices against such sayings as prosaic and unoriginal. The premodern focus on proverbs conditioned the literary culture that produced the Canterbury Tales and helped shape its audience’s reading practices. Aided by Thomas Speght’s notations in his 1602 edition, Bradbury shows that Chaucer acknowledges the power of the proverb, reflecting on its capacity for harm as well as for good and on its potential to expand and deepen—but also to regulate and constrict—the meanings of stories. Far from banishing proverbs as incompatible with the highest reaches of poetry, Chaucer places them at the center of the liberating interpretive possibilities the Canterbury Tales extends to its readers. Revelatory and persuasive, this book will appeal to scholars and students of medieval and early modern English literature as well as those interested in proverbs and the Canterbury Tales.
