Book excerpt: A careless driver sweeps newcomer Topher Brookman off the road and into the ditch, six miles from home. Ill-equipped to walk home, Topher staggers into the yard of a stranger. Life in a rural, conservative town has taught Topher to keep his mouth shut, but his host is just gorgeous, and Topher's brain is more than half-frozen, anyway. Chase Miller loves winter and the snow, but finds life hard in his hometown. He’s been looking for a way to get out, or maybe, just maybe, a reason to stay. When a snow-covered, handsome guy ends up seeking refuge in Chase’s home during the storm, Chase can’t help but flirt. Because country boys know, where there’s a spark, there’s usually flame.
Book Synopsis Celibacy Benefits by : Scripture Momma
Download or read book Celibacy Benefits written by Scripture Momma and published by Scripture Momma. This book was released on with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction Proverbs 25:28 A man without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls. Isn't celibacy hard? People always ask me "Isn't staying celibate hard?" This is my response. "The first month was hard...The first year was hard, but now it's easy." So the real question is, "how bad do you want it?" Becoming Celibate is like learning how to ride a bike... Learning to ride a bike for the first time when you were a kid, was "hard" but, you didn't give up! You knew other kids were riding bikes, and you wanted to experience that "sense of freedom" of riding a bike, on your own. The long term rewards are the prize! Becoming Celibate is not easy when you first start, but the long term "rewards" of success of staying celibate, outweigh the "difficulty" of getting there. So what is your reason for choosing to be celibate? What is the reason you want to be celibate? That is what you should focus on. Not on how hard it must be to maintain celibacy. As believers, we know that God is strong. Lean on God for support, by reading his words. God makes all things that seem impossible...possible! Candid confessions about past love sex and relationships I speak candidly in this book about my past. So if you are offended by reading about a person's feelings, emotions and experiences related to sex, relationships and hooking up, don't read this book. However if you think it might be interesting and informative to learn from a now "celibate woman's" perspective, then you may really enjoy reading this book. If you dislike reading about God… If you dislike reading about God, don't read this book. God is a big part of my life and my major reason and inspiration for becoming celibate. I would not call myself "Christian" but I am definitely a believer. You may have found this book in a "Christian" section. Regarding my faith, I just say, "I believe in God."

Book Synopsis What You Probably Didn’t Know About Sex and Celibacy by : Simona Rich
Download or read book What You Probably Didn’t Know About Sex and Celibacy written by Simona Rich and published by Simona Rich. This book was released on 2016-05-01 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sex & Celibacy is a 180-page ebook about my celibacy journey. I share not only my experiences and advice, but also include the accounts and important warnings of the celibates of the past who were occultists, spiritual teachers, writers, inventors, artists, and more. This ebook was first released in May 2015. It was fully revised and updated in May 2016, with my new experiences and newly-found genuine accounts of yet more celibates, especially saints. Seven reasons why I wrote this ebook 1.) I’ve decided to share my celibacy journey so that it serves as a source of inspiration for current celibates to continue walking this road; 2.) So that it serves as a source of information for those who are thinking about this lifestyle and want to find out what they can expect from it. 3.) Over the years of my spiritual journey, I have come across many incorrect accounts in regard to celibacy, like in patriarchal religious texts of the East which probably suffered additions like the Bible did. (These distortions about sex and celibacy especially target women, so I consider it my responsibility to dispel all these falsities through revealing my first-hand experience on the matter, as well as quoting reliable sources that support my experiences and thus prove them to be genuine.) 4.) I’ve also written this ebook to at least to some extent remove the repulsion about the word “celibacy”, since many practice celibacy when they’re totally not ready for it and thus truly misguide others about this lifestyle (such as priests that have no choice about the matter). Because of this, indulgence in sense-pleasures is chosen over celibacy, which serves to stall the spiritual development of a human that’s not ready. 5.) When one becomes interested in such a road, usually he is exposed to age-old religious teachings that were copied and distorted throughout the ages by those who weren’t celibates or practiced celibacy for all the wrong reasons (thus not being able to receive any celibacy benefits). Reading such texts and looking at the lives of such people only serves to misguide and off-put a would-be celibate. So usually a conclusion is arrived at that celibacy is a road to misery. In truth, it’s a road to total freedom and bliss, and you’ll think this way too after reading the book. 6.) Not only most people practice celibacy for all the wrong reasons, but they don’t even know how to practice it. As a result, sexual impulses are not transformed into spiritual ones, but suppressed instead. This, with time, results in uncontrollable anger outbursts, addictions, perversions of all sorts, or mental imbalances. In the Sex & Celibacy book, you’ll read about how to transmute the energy of sex to experience celibacy blessings such as higher intelligence and spiritual growth. 7.) Finally, I felt it necessary to share my celibacy experiences because the female take on celibacy is almost non-existent. Though somewhat distorted, Vedic and Taoist sources still serve as a source of inspiration and information for men. But many of such accounts are in no way helpful to women, and, as I mention in the book, can even stop their spiritual progress, since some of the teachings are clearly anti-female. So I consider it essential to share my celibacy experiences as a woman. To follow the road of celibacy successfully, as well as to gain spiritual blessings, two essential rules must be met: You must be ready to follow such a path (most people aren’t). You must practice celibacy correctly (most people don’t). This ebook explains in detail about how to meet both of these requirements. Here’s what Sex & Celibacy ebook covers: Celibacy benefits Celibacy dangers Things you must know before becoming celibate Who shouldn’t practice celibacy How to practice celibacy correctly What is real celibacy, and what isn’t (most people claiming to be celibates aren’t) Church misunderstanding of celibacy and a resulting disaster What takes place spiritually during the act of sex Lost information on conception: exact days conception and delivery should occur for a developed soul to enter this dimension Immaculate conception Spirit possession during sex Astral body dangers for celibates Creative power of celibates and how not to misuse it Signs showing that you should become celibate What Jesus really says about celibacy What happens to the energy body during celibacy What happens to the energy body during sex Hidden teachings on celibacy and sex in books such as the Bible and A Course in Miracles How luciferian forces operate in the human body and why How luciferian forces penetrated the human body The real function of the astral body and astral realms Sex – and attempt to escape from the background of pain What you should know about masturbation An easy yogic method to maintain celibacy My diary entries concerning sex and celibacy Conquering the serpent of lust Two alternative roads (for those who find celibacy too difficult) Misunderstood unconditional love … And so much more! I sincerely believe that this ebook contains all you need to know about celibacy. It explains what dangers you need to be aware of on this road, what kind of blessings you’ll experience if you follow this road correctly, how to practice celibacy in the right way, as well as who should practice celibacy and who isn’t yet ready. What’s more, not only will this ebook fully inform you about this unusual, yet bliss-filled lifestyle, but it will also open your eyes to the true nature of sex.
Book Synopsis Celibacy and Soul by : Susan J. Pollard
Download or read book Celibacy and Soul written by Susan J. Pollard and published by Fisher King Press. This book was released on 2015-01-15 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Celibacy and Soul: Exploring the Depths of Chastity is for women and men who have chosen to live into celibate chastity. It is also for those people who live celibate love, and though not vowed to a religious calling, know the way of celibate love as their path. You may find yourself celibate not by choice or you may hope it is a temporary stage. Perhaps life interrupted your plans with the death of a loved one, the loss of a relationship, the situation of illness, the trauma of abuse, or you simply didn’t settle with the desired partner and you want to find meaning in your life as a celibate person. Celibacy and Soul is also useful for those in the helping professions, as the work of a therapist asks a celibate kind of loving that can be catalyst for change in both clients and practitioners.

Download or read book Celibates written by George Moore and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-07-20 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The darkness was thick with wandering scents, and Mildred's thoughts withered in the heat. She closed her eyes; she lay quite still, but the fever of the night devoured her; the sheet burned like a flame; she opened her eyes, and was soon thinking as eagerly as before. She thought of the various possibilities that marriage would shut out to her forever. She reproached herself for having engaged herself to Alfred Stanby, and remembered that Harold had been opposed to the match, and had refused to give his consent until Alfred was in a position to settle five hundred a year upon her. Alfred would expect her to keep house for him exactly as she was now keeping house for her brother. Year after year the same thing, seeing Alfred go away in the morning, seeing him come home in the evening. That was how her life would pass. She did not wish to be cruel; she knew that Alfred would suffer terribly if she broke off her engagement, but it would be still more cruel to marry him if she did not think she would make him happy, and the conviction that she would not make him happy pressed heavily upon her. What was she to do? She could not, she dared not, face the life he offered her. It would be selfish of her to do so.
Download or read book Watching Them Be written by James Harvey and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2014-07-08 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An intimate, thought-provoking exploration of the mysteries of "star presence" in cinema "One does not go to see them act," James Baldwin wrote about the great iconic movie stars, "one goes to watch them be." It seems obvious . . . Where else besides the movies do you get to see other persons so intimately, so pressingly, so largely? Where else are you allowed such sustained and searching looks as you give to these strangers on the screen, whoever they really are? In life you try not to stare; but at the movies that's exactly what you get to do, two hours or more—safely, raptly, even blissfully. It's this sort of amplified, heightened, sometimes transcendent "seeing" that James Harvey explores in Watching Them Be. Marvelously vivid and perceptive, and impressively erudite, this is his take on how aura is communicated in movies. Beginning where Roland Barthes left off with the face of Greta Garbo and ending with Robert Bresson's Au hasard Balthazar (and its inscrutable nonhuman star), Harvey moves nimbly and expertly through film history, celebrating actors and directors who have particularly conveyed a feeling of transcendence. From Marlene Dietrich to John Wayne to Robert De Niro, from Nashville to Jackie Brown to Masculine/Feminine and the implicitly or explicitly religious films of Roberto Rossellini and Carl Theodor Dreyer, this is one man's personal, deeply felt account of the films that have changed his life. They will also, Harvey suggests, change yours.

Download or read book Singled Out written by Christine Colón and published by Brazos Press. This book was released on 2009-06-01 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Authors Christine Colón and Bonnie Field thought that by a certain age they would each be married. But they watched that age come and go--and still no walks down the aisle. In Singled Out, they reflect on their experience--and that of an increasing number of Christians. Rejecting overly simplistic messages from the church about "waiting for marriage," they explore a deeper understanding of celibacy that affirms singles' decision to be sexually pure, acknowledges their struggles, and recognizes their importance in the church community. Thoughtful and accessible, Singled Out is an invaluable voice of realistic encouragement for any single as well as an important tool for church leaders and others concerned with mission and ministry for singles.
Book Synopsis From Celibate Catholic Priest to Married Protestant Minister by : Stephen Joseph Fichter
Download or read book From Celibate Catholic Priest to Married Protestant Minister written by Stephen Joseph Fichter and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2015-07-15 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Celibate Catholic Priest to Married Protestant Minister: Shepherding in Greener Pastures describes a previously unstudied population of celibate Catholic priests who left the priesthood and eventually became married Protestant ministers. Stephen Fichter alternates from narrative to descriptive as he follows the lives of three of his study participants before, during, and after their dual transition. The descriptive sections include a history of religiously motivated celibacy and a review of the four leading forerunners in the field of Catholic clergy research. This scholarly study is the first time that these transitional clerics have candidly explained their difficult journeys of discernment. Religion, love, loss, and commitment are all analyzed in the context of this unique group of men, and the profiles in this book are memorable not only for the richness of their content, but also—and maybe most importantly—for their humanity. Lessons can be drawn for all people, especially those who have ever suffered a mid-life crisis.

Book Synopsis Ermolao Barbaro's On Celibacy 3 and 4 and On the Duty of the Ambassador by : Gareth Williams
Download or read book Ermolao Barbaro's On Celibacy 3 and 4 and On the Duty of the Ambassador written by Gareth Williams and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-09-07 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers the first annotated translation into English of two works of the eminent Venetian humanist, Ermolao Barbaro (145493). Books 3 and 4 of On Celibacy seek to justify a contemplative existence at a far remove from the active life and career-path expected of a figure of Barbaro's standing within the Venetian patriciate; Books 1 and 2 of On Celibacy are presented in the companion-piece to this second volume. The second work presented here is Barbaro's short treatise On the Duty of Ambassador (1488): based on Barbaro's own practical experience as a Venetian envoy abroad, this treatise outlines the conduct expected of the dedicated career diplomat. Viewed against each other, Barbaro's On Celibacy and On the Duty of the Ambassador offer contrasting perspectives on the wider 15th-century debate about the claims of the reflective as opposed to the active life a debate that extends all the way back to Greco-Roman antiquity. In On Celibacy the young Barbaro is committed to a life that proudly renounces civic engagement in the name of self-discovery and inner fulfilment. Yet a different Barbaro asserts himself in On the Duty of the Ambassador: he now presents himself as a committed public servant in a work that is ahead if its time in theorizing the nature of 'modern' Renaissance diplomacy. On a personal level, these two works capture the profound dichotomy in Barbaro's life between his humanist devotion to scholarship on the one hand and, on the other, his call of duty to the Republic of Venice.
