Book excerpt: It's never too late! No matter what shameful thing you have done or what painful thing has been done to you, truth offers the way to hope, healing and freedom.Exiled because of a teenage pregnancy, this is the candid story of one girl's desperate search for a place to belong. She longed to be loved but was terrified of her dark past being known. Her journey through betrayal, addiction, promiscuity, and worldly success illuminates the denied and devastating results of a life filled with secrecy and hypocrisy. Secrets From The Third Pew clearly describes the hidden effects of family dysfunction and addresses the failure of the community and the church to recognize and address painful issues and unwelcomed truths. Trusting in the healing power of grace, her story encourages wounded people to come out of the darkness and into the redeeming light and love of Christ.
Download or read book Pew written by Catherine Lacey and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2020-07-21 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WINNER of the 2021 NYPL Young Lions Fiction Award. Finalist for the 2021 Dylan Thomas Prize. Longlisted for the 2021 PEN/Jean Stein Book Award, the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction and the Joyce Carol Oates Prize. One of Publishers Weekly's Best Fiction Books of 2020. One of Amazon's 100 Best Books of 2020. “The people of this community are stifling, and generous, cruel, earnest, needy, overconfident, fragile and repressive, which is to say that they are brilliantly rendered by their wise maker, Catherine Lacey.” --Rachel Kushner, author of The Flamethrowers A figure with no discernible identity appears in a small, religious town, throwing its inhabitants into a frenzy In a small, unnamed town in the American South, a church congregation arrives for a service and finds a figure asleep on a pew. The person is genderless and racially ambiguous and refuses to speak. One family takes in the strange visitor and nicknames them Pew. As the town spends the week preparing for a mysterious Forgiveness Festival, Pew is shuttled from one household to the next. The earnest and seemingly well-meaning townspeople see conflicting identities in Pew, and many confess their fears and secrets to them in one-sided conversations. Pew listens and observes while experiencing brief flashes of past lives or clues about their origin. As days pass, the void around Pew’s presence begins to unnerve the community, whose generosity erodes into menace and suspicion. Yet by the time Pew’s story reaches a shattering and unsettling climax at the Forgiveness Festival, the secret of who they really are—a devil or an angel or something else entirely—is dwarfed by even larger truths. Pew, Catherine Lacey’s third novel, is a foreboding, provocative, and amorphous fable about the world today: its contradictions, its flimsy morality, and the limits of judging others based on their appearance. With precision and restraint, one of our most beloved and boundary-pushing writers holds up a mirror to her characters’ true selves, revealing something about forgiveness, perception, and the faulty tools society uses to categorize human complexity.

Book Synopsis The Chinese Secrets for Success by : YuKong Zhao
Download or read book The Chinese Secrets for Success written by YuKong Zhao and published by Morgan James Publishing. This book was released on 2013-04-01 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Go beyond the tiger mom philosophy with “a more balanced—and more useful—elaboration of how to apply each [Confucian] value” (Kirkus Reviews). Today, many American families are facing the economic fallout of global competition, a decline in education quality, the potential reduction of Social Security and Medicare benefits, and high oil prices. The answer to these problems can be found in five inspiring Confucian values regarding career aspiration, education, money management, family, and friendship—the untold secrets behind the rise of China and the success of Asian Americans, whom the Pew Research Center calls the highest-income and best-educated racial group in the US. Based on his bicultural living experience and deep understanding of Confucianism, YuKong Zhao connects ancient Chinese wisdom to today’s real-life challenges and shares an “inside view” of how Chinese Americans apply these values to their lives and make themselves successful in their careers and as parents. Using an insightful cross-cultural perspective, he advocates a balanced approach that combines the strengths of Confucian values and American culture. He challenges many prevailing pop-culture values and offers sensible solutions that are refreshing, distinctive, and effective. “Will we be able to learn from other countries? Can we take the best practices and apply them to our own culture? I believe we have no choice in the matter if we are to be among the global leaders in the future. The Chinese Secrets for Success is a good start to at least getting us thinking in a productive way.” —Executive Leader Coach (execleadercoach.com)

We all need to learn the mechanics in a worship service before the spiritual level can be achieved. This is a class for children to learn who, what, where, when, and why behind a worship service. There are explanations for the Latin words used as well as who is involved in each segment. There are secrets for the children to help them relate to worshiping making it more fun for them. Many churches use the junior church concept. Secrets of worship takes that concept to a new level requiring the children to attend the whole church service in order to experience all the aspects of worship. Once the children are familiar as to what will happen in the service they become more comfortable in being in church. There are also ideas for worship materials that dont entertain but allow the children to learn and participate while in the worship service.
