A hugely entertaining, poignant, and charming novel about what happens after happily ever after—from the New York Timesbestselling author of How to Walk Away and Things You Save in a Fire “Everyone Is Beautiful is for every woman who has ever struggled to find, hold on to, and nurture authenticity in the midst of that wild, messy, wonderful thing called motherhood.”—Brené Brown Lanie Coates’s life is spinning out of control. She’s piled everything she owns into a U-Haul and driven with her husband, Peter, and their three little boys from their cozy Texas home to a multiflight walkup in Boston. She’s left behind family and friends—all so her husband can realize his dream of becoming a professional musician. But somewhere in the eye of her personal hurricane, it hits Lanie that she once had dreams too . . . if only she could remember what they were. These days, Lanie always seems to prioritize herself last—and when another mom accidentally assumes she’s pregnant, it’s the final straw. Fifteen years, three babies, and more pounds than she’s willing to count since the day she said “I do,” Lanie longs desperately to feel like her old self again. It’s time to rise up, fish her moxie out of the diaper pail, and find the woman she was before motherhood consumed her entire existence. Lanie sets change in motion—joining a gym, signing up for photography classes, and finding a new best friend. But she also creates waves that come to threaten her whole life. Balancing motherhood and me-time, marriage and independence, and supporting loved ones while also realizing her own dreams, Lanie must figure out once and for all how to find herself without losing everything else in the process.

From the New York Times bestselling author of Eating the Sun and Lost in Translation, a gorgeously illustrated love letter to everything that is beautiful, and a manifesto for those who are struggling to remember or recognize what beauty is People are increasingly baffled as to what they can call beautiful, what they should call beautiful, and whether or not they are able to apply beautiful to themselves or to the things around them. Our outdated yet hugely pervasive modern notions of beauty provide one of the greatest sadnesses of all—an intensely human emptiness that we are mistakenly trying to fill with objects and hollow promises. To be able to find our way back to beauty is a deceptively urgent task in the world today. Everyone deserves revelations, the kind that are daily, hugely personal, and very often ephemeral. We are surrounded by beauty—beauty that isn’t something we can buy: spiderwebs only seen in the sunlight, the greenish glow of a fox’s eyes watching in the dark, or the comforting screech of the subway that takes you to your many futures. Part meditation, part self-help guide, and part interactive journal, Everything, Beautiful explores what beauty is, why it matters, and how we can find it in our everyday lives. Filled with thoughtful, intimate, and brilliant insights, inspirational quotes, breathtaking illustrations, and space for readers to write, draw, and reflect on their own ideas of beauty, Everything, Beautiful is for anyone who feels they cannot point to beauty any longer, are struggling to see it, or feel that it has left them behind.

Imagine having it all: money, celebrity, success. Imagine leaving it all behind -- to answer a higher calling. Sparked by his work with Sean "Puffy" Combs' Bad Boy Entertainment, Mason "Mase" Betha's meteoric rise to fame is one of rap's great success stories. In addition to performing on such hit singles as 112's "Only You," Puffy's "Can't Nobody Hold Me Down," Notorious B.I.G.'s "Mo Money, Mo Problems," and Mariah Carey's "Honey," Mase sky-rocketed as a solo artist whose languid vocal style set him apart. His debut album, Harlem World, went platinum and his next album, Double Up, was eagerly awaited. But just as he was poised to sign a multimillion-dollar deal with Bad Boy, Mase walked away. Mason Betha is now a pastor, inspirational speaker, and founder of a nondenominational group called S.A.N.E. (Saving a Nation Endangered) Ministries. Having turned his back on stardom, he reveals in this fascinating memoir the rhyme and reason behind his choice to leave a glamorous life of extraordinary wealth and influence to become a pastor with a powerful message for America's youth. Thought-provoking and illuminating, Revelations is an undeniable testament to the enduring power of faith -- and to the limitless possibilities in a life transformed by God's guiding hand.

The essays in this book began simply as tools I incorporated to enhance my understanding of A Course in Miracles and how it blends with the literature I have read and classes and seminars I have taken. Our friends and teachers, Unity minister Patty and her husband Jack Morales introduced my wife, Pati, and I to A Course in Miracles fifteen or so years after we had begun our spiritual journey(s). Each of us are in pursuit of our own respective spiritual paths, in our own individual ways as part of a life-long search for our "purpose" in life; trying to discover who we "truly" are, not the persona we've made up. It just takes some of us longer to realize it. We began with a small core group of people committed to their spiritual paths and it has grown steadily since. As the group expanded in numbers, so did the questions and people began to look to my wife and I for clarification. I realized then, that for myself, I needed to put more effort into my understanding of A Course in Miracles and how it coincided with what I had studied previously, beginning with my lineage, The Science of Mind. I began with notes for comparison, which grew into paragraphs and eventually ended up as the essays in this book. They (the essays) became, for me, a bridge between A Course in Miracles, The Science of Mind, the Gnostic Gospels, and various other religions and teachings. I am a perennial student and will probably be as long as I continue to breathe. My search for understanding, for clarification, may not be insatiable, but I cannot remember a time when I wasn't studying something, so when my wife introduced me to metaphysics, I knew that this was what I would make the topic of all my studying in the future. These essays are the essence of the information I've extracted from this process. My purpose with these essays is not to provide you with what I think to be the "only" or "right" answers to any questions, but as an explanation, understanding or clarification that resonates for me and hopefully for you. We are all unique in our individual perceptions, so my perception of some subjects may not mirror yours, but if one, or some, of my essays bring a light of understanding or help to you, or assist you in seeing an old truth in a new way, then we are both blessed. It is my belief that all gifts are meant to be shared, be it the gift our friendships, our love or our knowledge, because if we keep them to ourselves, they are of no value to anyone. If these essays provide for you a better understanding or just simplify your path, in any manner, please share them, because as St. Francis said, in his beautiful prayer, "It is in the giving that we receive."

Mary has often accompanied the life and spirituality of Christian saints in both the Western and Eastern churches. In this compilation you'll discover a rich spirituality of the Mother of God which will challenge, inform, and strengthen the reader. Mary has always inspired individuals, families, and nations. Even in a secular era like ours, she is a reference point for many. Indeed, in recent times the understanding of Mary has been “updated” to emphasize not only her extraordinary sanctity, but her as a member with us in the People of God and as a model of the Church. Mary: Her Identity, Our Identity contains a collection of texts on Mary as contemplated by Chiara Lubich. What Chiara told a group of young people sums up who Mary was for her, and who she can be for us: “My vocation, which is also yours, more than speaking with Mary… is to live Mary, to be her, to do as she did, and, above all, that she should re-live in us.”

“Ours is an ill-mannered society that wears those bad manners as a badge not just of its moral rectitude but of its millenarian ethical ambitions. At the same time, in no society in recent memory have people been so easily affronted.” At a time when political writing and cultural criticism have come to be dominated by an insipid and unthinking moralism, David Rieff’s essays offer a bracing antidote. As well as being one of the English-speaking world’s most perceptive commentators on global politics, Rieff has in recent years been one of its most courageous and outspoken critics of the pathologies of identity politics—in particular, its grossly simplistic understanding of what it means to belong to a culture or a community, its fundamental failure to grasp the real value of the creative arts, and its increasing disregard for due process and freedom of expression. The essays that appear in Desire and Fate serve both as a crucial record of and a fierce protest against these developments. Covering topics as diverse as censorship in contemporary publishing, the cultural ubiquity of the notion of trauma, and the future of democracy on a global level, they are all characterised by an incisive intelligence and a refreshing lack of wishful thinking. Together they confirm Rieff’s status as an indispensable writer and thinker.

In this outstanding introduction, Paul Guyer uses Kant’s central conception of autonomy as the key to all the major aspects and issues of Kant’s thought. Beginning with a helpful overview of Kant’s life and times, Guyer introduces Kant’s metaphysics and epistemology, carefully explaining his arguments about the nature of space, time and experience in his most influential but difficult work, The Critique of Pure Reason. He offers an explanation and critique of Kant’s famous theory of transcendental idealism and shows how much of Kant’s philosophy is independent of this controversial doctrine. He then examines Kant’s moral philosophy, his celebrated ‘Categorical imperative’ and his theories of duty, freedom of will and political rights. Finally, he covers Kant’s aesthetics, in particular his arguments about the nature of beauty and the sublime, and their relation to human freedom and happiness. He also considers Kant’s view that the development of human autonomy is the only goal that we can conceive for both natural and human history.

Is it your aim to grow in God? Let it grow, as a small flame grows into a fire (2 Timothy 1:6, NCV). Is your soul prospering in the Lord? The apostle John wishes his readers: Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers (3 John 2). Your spiritual growth is a choice. Soulzer fortifies every Christian who is truly fond of progressing in Christlike character by imitating Him even when no one is watching. To become a man after Gods own heart Detach yourself from the evil desires of the world After this self-denial - sanctify the Lord God in your hearts As you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in Him By Gods power we live and move and exist Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you Realize the Lord by feeling His presence with you Become a temple of God as the Spirit of God dwells in you And let the people around you taste the fruit of the Spirit Keep on growing into the whole measure of all the fullness of Christ and Continue your soul soldiering until Christ is formed in you. Jesus said, I have conquered the world! (John 16:33, NRSV). A Christian is a lifelong fighter. Everyone who has been fathered by God conquers the world. This is the conquering power that has conquered the world: our faith (1 John 5:4, NET). Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us (Romans 8:37). Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ (2 Corinthians 2:14). As the victory is from the Lord (Proverbs 21:31, NET) you need to fight against sin (Hebrews 12:4, BBE), and keep on conquering the D-evil. This is a conquerable combat. You can certainly accomplish a victory over sin for He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). Practice Christliness and become a Christ at heart!
