Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A searing, deeply moving memoir of illness and recovery that traces one young woman’s journey from diagnosis to remission to re-entry into “normal” life—from the author of the Life, Interrupted column in The New York Times ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New York Times Book Review, The Washington Post, Bloomberg, The Rumpus, She Reads, Library Journal, Booklist • “I was immersed for the whole ride and would follow Jaouad anywhere. . . . Her writing restores the moon, lights the way as we learn to endure the unknown.”—Chanel Miller, The New York Times Book Review “Beautifully crafted . . . affecting . . . a transformative read . . . Jaouad’s insights about the self, connectedness, uncertainty and time speak to all of us.”—The Washington Post In the summer after graduating from college, Suleika Jaouad was preparing, as they say in commencement speeches, to enter “the real world.” She had fallen in love and moved to Paris to pursue her dream of becoming a war correspondent. The real world she found, however, would take her into a very different kind of conflict zone. It started with an itch—first on her feet, then up her legs, like a thousand invisible mosquito bites. Next came the exhaustion, and the six-hour naps that only deepened her fatigue. Then a trip to the doctor and, a few weeks shy of her twenty-third birthday, a diagnosis: leukemia, with a 35 percent chance of survival. Just like that, the life she had imagined for herself had gone up in flames. By the time Jaouad flew home to New York, she had lost her job, her apartment, and her independence. She would spend much of the next four years in a hospital bed, fighting for her life and chronicling the saga in a column for The New York Times. When Jaouad finally walked out of the cancer ward—after countless rounds of chemo, a clinical trial, and a bone marrow transplant—she was, according to the doctors, cured. But as she would soon learn, a cure is not where the work of healing ends; it’s where it begins. She had spent the past 1,500 days in desperate pursuit of one goal—to survive. And now that she’d done so, she realized that she had no idea how to live. How would she reenter the world and live again? How could she reclaim what had been lost? Jaouad embarked—with her new best friend, Oscar, a scruffy terrier mutt—on a 100-day, 15,000-mile road trip across the country. She set out to meet some of the strangers who had written to her during her years in the hospital: a teenage girl in Florida also recovering from cancer; a teacher in California grieving the death of her son; a death-row inmate in Texas who’d spent his own years confined to a room. What she learned on this trip is that the divide between sick and well is porous, that the vast majority of us will travel back and forth between these realms throughout our lives. Between Two Kingdoms is a profound chronicle of survivorship and a fierce, tender, and inspiring exploration of what it means to begin again.
Book Synopsis Journey to The East: A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Middle Kingdom by : Tom Lightner
Download or read book Journey to The East: A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Middle Kingdom written by Tom Lightner and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-08-06 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Journey to the East is the story of a western traveler with a very limited Chinese vocabulary traveling in China. The author took small trips to large and mid-sized cities trying to learn enough about communications and culture to be able to travel freely in China. After tiring of organized tours, he adapted to trains, buses, taxis, and black cars which allowed him to see culture and sights beyond the reach of most western tourists. He found that adding hitchhiking to the mix of transportation modes allowed broader access to remote sites. The author tested his cultural and hitchhiking lessons learned in small trips by traveling cross country. He followed the same route that former NPR correspondent Rob Gifford traveled in ?China Road?, but from west to east, from Kazakhstan to China's east coast at Shanghai. The book reports on the travels and how the lessons learned succeeded or failed.
Book Synopsis Morocco, Journeys in the Kingdom of Fez and to the Court of Mulai Hassan by : Maximilien Antoine Cyprien Henri Poisson de La Martinière
Download or read book Morocco, Journeys in the Kingdom of Fez and to the Court of Mulai Hassan written by Maximilien Antoine Cyprien Henri Poisson de La Martinière and published by . This book was released on 1889 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The shallow scratches made in the still almost virgin soil of Morocco by historians and travelers have increased the thirst for any really useful and scientific information regarding that country; for since the time of Leo Africanus a long blank occurs, filled up, indeed, by such writers as Windhus and Leared in the last century, and, in our own time, by the more practical researches of Rohlfs, Tissot and Sir Joseph Hooker; but while these works have all their separate interests, the volume now to hand will occupy in its turn a special page in the history of the northern division of Morocco. It is with reluctance I have acceded to M. de la Martiniere's request to write a few lines of Preface to his book, but my former connections with the country, and the fact of my being able, as far as my own knowledge goes, to testify to the accuracy of his statements, have induced me to make the attempt"--Preface.

Download or read book Journey to the Kingdom of Thailand written by Kalman Dubov and published by Kalman Dubov. This book was released on 2021-12-20 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume reflects my time in Chiang Mai, Thailand, in the north of the country. This Far Eastern country, known worldwide for its flavorful cuisine and challenging sauces, is a country steeped in tradition. The north was previously the Lan Na Kingdom, with Chiang Mai as its capital. The ancient city walls and surrounding moat are still visible, as are many of the ancient Wat, Buddhist places of worship. The Thai practice of Theravada Buddhism, with other ancient traditions are celebrations practiced throughout the year and these practices are present in the country. I spent a month in the north, exploring the sites and speaking with a wide variety of people to gain a greater appreciation for the people, its language, Asian and Thai customs and traditions, as well as its food. Chiang Mai also has a unique Jewish presence, with many visitors. I review these fascinating aspects of the city and area. I also visited the Golden Triangle, the highest point of Thailand, where the borders with Myanmar, Laos and Thailand meet. I also briefly visited Donesao Island, Laos, crossing the Mekong River in the process.
Book Synopsis Maldonado Journey to the Kingdom of New Mexico by : Gilbert Maldonado
Download or read book Maldonado Journey to the Kingdom of New Mexico written by Gilbert Maldonado and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2014-02-27 with total page 589 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maldonado traces the journey of his family from Scandinavia and the Holy Land to Spain and Portugal and finally to the Kingdom of New Mexico. Arriving in 1598 with the expedition of Juan de Oate, his ancestors were some of the first settlers of New Mexico. Of the 144 original Spanish/Portuguese colonial families from the 16th and 17th centuries listed by historian and cousin Fray Anglico Chvez, in his pioneering book Origins of New Mexico Families/A Genealogy of the Spanish Colonial Period, 119 are on the Maldonado family tree. From the 18th century, 174 of the 277 colonial families identified by Chvez are also on the Maldonado family tree. Over 5,300 names comprise the Maldonado tree - many of them important figures in the annals of New Mexico history. Maldonado's family tree proves the old adage that everyone in New Mexico is a primo, cousin.
Book Synopsis Journey to the Kingdom of Cambodia by : Kalman Dubov
Download or read book Journey to the Kingdom of Cambodia written by Kalman Dubov and published by Kalman Dubov. This book was released on with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Kingdom of Cambodia has an ancient pedigree, a time when its people first established small principalities which evolved in small kingdoms. These kingdoms merged, often violently, eventually establishing the great Angkorian kingdom of the Khmer. The great building complex known as Angkor Wat, an achievement of stupendous proportion, whose dimensions are still being determined, is a product of the Khmer Empire. The empire was subject to much tension, both internally from competing nobles who sought to ascend the powerful throne, to outside kingdoms who tried to invade and subjugate the Khmer. Vietnam to the east, and further south also to the east, was the Cham Empire, while to the west was the Thai. These three kingdoms warred with the Khmer, eventually reducing it from grandeur. After the Khmer Empire fell, Cambodia entered a Dark Ages, a period of 431 years, from 1431 to 1862, years of scant records. Historians today try to reconstruct why the empire fell and why its people moved from the Siem Reap area and why records from this time are almost entirely unknown. In 1862, France became Cambodia's protector, defending its autonomy from both Vietnam and Thailand (Siam) who were both nibbling at either end of Cambodia. The Protectorate ended in 1942 when the Japanese occupied the land, followed by the return of the French in 1945, after the end of the Second World War. As in other countries subjugated by colonist powers, the defeat of France encouraged Cambodian nationalists to fight for a return to independence and autonomy. It is in this crucible that the Khmer Rouge, a communist-inspired group, began an insurrection against the French, and later against the Cambodian government. The Khmer Rouge, inspired by nihilistic beliefs, came to power in 1975 and began the tragic genocide of the Cambodian people. Between a quarter to a third of the people were murdered, representing the best and the elite of its society. There were many actors in this saga, both ancient and modern. I review these persons, to the extent known and the roles they played in Cambodian history and the effect it has had on the country today. The character of Pol Pot, mastermind and leader of the Khmer Rouge, is of special importance. I review his strange way of not identifying with a leadership role until absolutely necessary. But the menace of this man went much deeper; through guile and bland smiles, he allayed fear about himself, though he ordered the murder of those closest to him. Yet, even as they were led away, they disbelieved the order for their deaths, believing that if they could but have a moment with him, all would be set right. Even those closest to him did not see him for the monster he really was. He was a master at guile and deception, with none seeing the man as the monster of terror and destruction. Even in the Far East where exhibiting emotion and genuine feeling is shunned to the nth degree, this man’s ability to remain hidden reflects the ultimate achievement. But he brought ruin to his nation, with today’s loss of the elite of the country. I spent two months in Cambodia, visiting and researching material for this review. During my time there, I visited the only synagogue in the country, the Chabad House in Phnom Penh. It was then that I became aware of an amazing fact: a granddaughter of royalty celebrated her Bat Mitzvah in the capital, attended by members of the royal family. The story of how a member of the Cambodian royal family became Jewish is itself an incredible development. Cambodia today is a Third World country, with many attractions, both superb and revolting. At core, its representations reflect the saga of humanity, whose pages are sometimes elevating and also horrific. I describe my journey to this corner of Asia, hoping I've done justice to its many contours and personalities.
Book Synopsis The Road To Restoration by : Thomas Fitzhugh Sheets
Download or read book The Road To Restoration written by Thomas Fitzhugh Sheets and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2016-10-23 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While I have worked on this project for two years, about halfway through, I told my pastor that I felt like I was taking on the whole John 3:16 Christian culture. While I have never believed that at the moment of belief or surrender, we receive the keys to the kingdom, I have come to the understanding that Jesus is telling Nicodemus who He is and what He is going to do at His second coming. He takes care of the sin problem and shows that He has the power over the death in His first coming, initiates the age of true righteousness and sets the stage for His second coming. It is at this time that He lifts the curse and completes the promise made to Abraham, reveals who the children of God are and establishes His kingdom here on this earth. On that Day, the dead in Christ will come out of the grave and meet Him in the air. We have a choice of whether to believe that Jesus completes the work of salvation at His first coming or His second coming. There are so many scriptures that place the complete work of salvation at His second coming, that I find it difficult to believe that He completes this work at His first coming. It comes down to mankind's desire for instant gratification. In Luke 9, there is a passage where Jesus, before He picks up His cross, once and for all time, talks specifically about who He is and what He has come to do at his first coming. In that passage, he tells His disciples that they, too, along with all those who choose to follow Him, must pick up their cross daily. This does not appeal to the instant gratification crowd, but it is where faith begins. Where our faith journey begins determines where our journey will end.
Book Synopsis The Magnificent Journey by : James Bryan Smith
Download or read book The Magnificent Journey written by James Bryan Smith and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2018-11-06 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are told, “Look out for yourself first” and “Nice guys finish last.” But following that path leaves us feeling isolated and anxious, and can even take us to a place of ruin. This is not a magnificent journey. There is a road to life in the unshakeable kingdom of God, but it's not an easy journey. "We cannot enter into the kingdom unless we take our cross and die to ourselves," writes author James Bryan Smith. "We often assume that this will be painful. And of course it is. But what is the alternative? I can, for example, choose to navigate my life, choose to live as I want, and aim at fulfilling all of my desires. This will result in that despair Kierkegaard wrote of, the sickness unto death. . . . The wisest choice, then, is to surrender." In The Magnificent Journey, the author shows us the better road, the road less travelled, but the road full of riches. Along the way he introduces us to new spiritual practices that will provide the sustenance we need for the deepest, most joy-filled journey of our lives—the journey into the heart of God.
Book Synopsis The Road to the Kingdom. by : Joseph A. Campbell
Download or read book The Road to the Kingdom. written by Joseph A. Campbell and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Road to the Kingdom is a self-help book that describes a number of stages or steps that take place on the journey to the 'Kingdom'.We start in the 'Wilderness', and receive an inner call to leave (for our death on some level is close at hand, perhaps even literal, physical death) and events occur which could be ascribed as a call to adventure, a call to begin our journey; our 'Road to the Kingdom'.Do you dare to follow your calling?If you accept the call to journey upon the 'Road to the Kingdom' you must face tasks and trials. We ultimately have to face our fears before our severest challenge, an ultimate 'Final Battle'. First, we develop the skills needed in stages, training in developing the archetypal skills and ideal traits of the archetypal images of the 'Magician', 'Warrior' and 'Lover' before ultimately embodying the 'King' or 'Queen' within. This book is for those who strive to meet their destiny and who want to ascend to their highest level of being.The Road to the Kingdom is presented in the style of an actual handbook for a Templar or Paladin but it is addressed to all readers. It is presented as a guide to experiencing a form of spiritual enlightenment also and stresses the importance of living in the present moment; in the 'NOW'.It is a collection of teachings and the enclosing narrative is presented whereby on every page there is an inspirational thought, which can be read as a part of the whole book's philosophy or it can be used to form the basis of a meditation.The book draws from a variety of spiritual traditions. The Road to the Kingdom contains aphorisms that have a specific spiritual source also such as Lao Tzu and Jesus in order to provide spiritual inspiration. The book also further describes methods of meditation to aid readers in anchoring themselves spiritually. These methods include focusing on your ultimate goal, (The Kingdom) and spending time in nature. After each passage the reader may then reflect and become still.
Book Synopsis The Sacred Journey by : Charles Foster
Download or read book The Sacred Journey written by Charles Foster and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2010-12-27 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “When Yahweh became a man, he was a homeless vagrant. He walked through Palestine proclaiming that a mysterious kingdom had arrived...He called people to follow him, and that meant walking.” — Charles Foster Humans are built to wander. History is crisscrossed by their tracks. Sometimes there are obvious reasons for it: to get better food for themselves or their animals; to escape weather, wars, or plague. But sometimes they go—at great expense and risk—in the name of God, seeking a place that feels sacred, that speaks to the heart. God himself seems to have a bias toward the nomad. The road is a favored place — a place of epiphany. That’s all very well if you are fit and free. But what if you are paralyzed by responsibility or disease? What if the only journey you can make is to the office, the school, or the bathroom? Best-selling English author and adventurer Charles Foster has wandered quite a bit, and he knows what can be found (and lost) on a sacred journey. He knows that pilgrimage involves doing something with whatever faith you have. And faith, like muscle, likes being worked. Exploring the history of pilgrimage across cultures and religions, Foster uses tales of his own travels to examine the idea of approaching each day as a pilgrimage, and he offers encouragement to anyone who wants to experience a sacred journey. The result is an intoxicating, highly readable blend of robust theology and lyrical anecdote — an essential guidebook for every traveler in search of the truth about God, himself, and the world. When Jesus said “Follow me,” he meant us to hit the road with him. The Sacred Journey will show you how. The Ancient Practices There is a hunger in every human heart for connection, primitive and raw, to God. To satisfy it, many are beginning to explore traditional spiritual disciplines used for centuries . . . everything from fixed-hour prayer to fasting to sincere observance of the Sabbath. Compelling and readable, the Ancient Practices series is for every spiritual sojourner, for every Christian seeker who wants more.
Book Synopsis Faith, Hope, and Love in the Kingdom of God by : Robert Hernan Cubillos
Download or read book Faith, Hope, and Love in the Kingdom of God written by Robert Hernan Cubillos and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in a world full of challenges. The three graces can almost be seen as motors for Christian life in today's world, but the words faith, hope, and love have so many everyday uses that their technical, theological meanings are, for many, difficult to appreciate. Modern life also leaves many yearning for authenticity and meaning. Many religions have answered that need by calling to mind the image of a path. Always profound progressions, religious paths tend to be motivated either by practices (the act of walking the path) or focal points. Christianity has a focal point, an object, and it sees the three graces as distinctively content filled. The heart of this book is about helping people find the Christian path and their intellectual, emotional, and spiritual balance--an equilibrium that is sustained by a strong personal faith, an enduring hope for the future, and genuine love that will withstand the worst of times. It contributes to the category of Christian literature that provides a pattern for Christian living without surrendering the intellect to the more popular side of this genre.
