＜p＞Marsha, Marsha, Marsha. If you understand what that means, then you'll appreciate this book. Was I a little hyperactive and mischievous? Perhaps. Regardless, taking the brunt of "the belt, the hand, or the hanger" when my siblings never had to endure such punishment led me to believe I must be adopted. I did not feel loved by anyone in my family growing up, and I suffered from a disfigurement that made me feel ugly. With the help of my Park Circle friends, I developed the ability to do what I put my mind to, leading me to domination by determination.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Thinking I knew better, I left home to make it on my own as a teenager and found "adulting" hard work. Yes, I made stupid decisions and occasionally found myself in deep trouble. The path I traveled led me to write this book to illustrate how God's roadmap can be navigated while achieving all your bucket list dreams.＜/p＞ ＜p＞I penned this book to captivate and enthrall readers. My small-town girl journey, shaped by a childhood of free play and independence, was anything but ordinary. As you journey with me through my memories, you will undoubtedly recognize a piece of yourself in my words. Be prepared for shocking revelations, as everything in this book is unquestionably the unvarnished truth--as I see it.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

And friends who regularly ask, Kimi, when are you going to write a book? Enough such requests has finally kicked me off my regular routines to commit what's been growing, to a readable format. Stimulus can come from activities viewed in the news, my own personal experiences, or other's experiences that I've observed. And yes, the perspectives offered are often intentional to shed light on utter insanities in life, or to poke fun at routines that are often more habitual than practical. At once, I hope to make people think, to make people laugh, or to cause people to find their way out of ruts that they may be in, simply out of habit. Since I'm also a people, many of the posts are simply reflective, when I catch myself thinking of something that seems profound, as well as the times I simply cannot believe how goofy something was that I did.

＜p＞My name? Rook. Bishop Rook, star pilot. And yeah, I own and pilot a one-man starfreighter between stations out beyond the Core systems. You think it's a glamorous life and an easy way to get rich quick, right? Wrong. It's an easy way to go broke fast or get dead even faster. Sure, a few star pilots strike it rich. And then, if they're smart, they sell their ships and do something safe. The rest of us are scrambling to keep our ships operable while we deal with the corrupt, psychotic, or just downright evil people who inhabit the amber and red zones where the only law is what you make yourself. And then there's what the Core Space Navy recruitment posters euphemistically refer to as the 'wonderous unknown' out there in deep space. Wonderous, my ass! Terrifying is a better adjective if the rumors we star pilots share with each other are true. I keep telling myself that I should have stayed in the Core Space Navy. Running down pirates and smugglers might be boring, but the odds of surviving another year are pretty good. Yet here I am, piloting the ugliest starfreighter you've ever seen. So far, I've managed to keep my head attached to my body and above water. And if you buy me a drink, I'll tell you an interesting story or two.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞A sad happy man I am. You will be laughing and crying at the same time when you read many of my self-criticizing and pessimistic writings of life’s little struggles in poetic form. But I always can find a reason and be willing to accept the outcome or find a compromise to make everything okay. I try and find present-day/year situations from love, sex, and the struggle of addiction to all and everything that life has to offer. Peer pressure is real, but that’s the easy way out or in. To be accepted by the majority, so it seems at the time, is a bad lesson to learn the hard way. Luckily, I thought of a way to express it to everyoneーthe good in my higher power and the bad in this troublesome world.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Here is just a little taste of what you will get if you buy my “bio.” This one is called Bye.

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Meditation for Faithful Christians【電子書籍】[ Bob Thiel, Ph.D. ]

＜p＞If you're into wellness then you probably heard of meditation. The most popular style uses mantras, specific seating, focuses on yourself, and tells you to empty your thoughts. That never seems to work. Everyone I know, myself included, tries it and stops within weeks because it doesn't produce results. Our minds are not designed to go blank, no matter how much we try.＜/p＞ ＜p＞I am so happy I found this booklet. It showed me that in the Bible, God told people to meditate. It gives lots of scriptures too so you have all kinds of examples of what God wants you to think about. The Psalms are like poems and can really make you realize you're not alone, and that someone else went through the same thing you're going through. And the proverbs are still true today, even though they're very old. But my favorite thing from this book was from Philippians 4:8-9. Look that up. That's my kind of meditation. I can do this!＜/p＞ ＜p＞It also talks about meditating on God's laws and gives a really interesting list of things that would be different, or not even exist, if people obeyed those commandments. The world would be a much better place. And I can't change the world but I can make myself a better person. And that will make me feel better and then maybe I can help someone else, maybe you! I strongly recommend this book. It's short and has a lot of good information, especially that eastern meditation is not something a Christian should do. Maybe that's why it never worked for me! I learned a lot and I hope you do too.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】IN THE ACQUISITION OF INNER PEACE【電子書籍】[ Ghada E Abdo ]

＜p＞I was born in Lebanon, a land steeped in ancient traditions and deep spiritual currents. In 1977, my family and I immigrated to the United States, and with that journey began a lifelong process of integrationーof culture, identity, and ultimate meaning. I found myself standing between two seemingly opposing forces: the collective strength and unity of my Lebanese heritage, and the fierce individualism of American life. Rather than choose between them, I learned to weave them together. That early experience shaped everything. It taught me how to hold complexity, how to live in paradox, and how to find harmony in contrast. My academic pathーthrough Paralegal Studies, Social Sciences, and Political Scienceーreflected my desire to understand the systems that govern both society and the human mind. But it was my spiritual search that truly transformed me.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Over the years, I immersed myself in a wide range of spiritual teachings: from the esoteric wisdom of Gnosticism, Hermeticism, and the Kybalion, to the heart-opening truths of A Course in Miracles, the mystical insights of Kabbalah, and the sacred texts of Catholicism. At first, these teachings seemed fragmented and contradictory. But over time, I began to see the thread that connects them allーa shared language of love, unity, and remembrance.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book is the fruit of that journey. It is not a doctrine, but a distillation. It is not meant to convert, but to remind. It’s for the seeker who has explored many truths but longs to understand how they fit together. It’s for those who know there’s something more, something whole, waiting to be uncovered. As a life coach, a mother, a scholar, and a spiritual explorer, I offer this work with both humility and hope. May it inspire you not only to think, but to remember. And may it gently guide you homeーto yourself, to each other, and to the deeper unity that connects us all.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

My name is MacKenzie Rivers, and I’ve been grieving longer than I’ve been breathing.＜/p＞ ＜p＞When Jaden lost his parents, I disappeared. Slipped into the cracks like waterーsilent, necessary, gone. I couldn’t be what he needed. Not with a mother who drinks her memory into ash and a father who thinks ignoring a thing makes it disappear. So I did the only thing I’ve ever been good at: I protected myself.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Until the night I saw him again.＜/p＞ ＜p＞It wasn’t some cinematic reunion. Just a moment. A blink. But suddenly he was there.

The couch creaked under his weight as he sat his massive body in it.＜/em＞＜br /＞ ＜em＞I returned with the wine, looking around for a place to sit as he patted his lap. A pang of arousal shot through me as I imagined being in his arms. I sat the wine glasses down on the coffee table and climbed on his lap sideways.＜/em＞＜br /＞ ＜em＞One arm supported my back as the other draped over my legs.

I didn't want to stop him. I wanted his lips on mine, his arms surrounding me, and never letting me go.＜/em＞＜br /＞ ＜em＞His lips inched closer to mine. His delicious scent clouded my mind, making everything around me disappear. A moan slipped from my throat as his mouth touched mine.

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】The Image of Christian【電子書籍】[ J Crispin-Ripley ]

＜p＞In ancient times it was known that gods walked the Earth in disguise. People not only considered it wise to worship their gods but also knew that any strangers should be treated with respect as they might be a god travelling incognito. That wisdom is largely lost in the world of The Image of Christian.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Christian answered a "help wanted" ad on the Internet and got more than a job. According to her business card, his new boss is a consultant. When Christian asked her what kind of consultant she is, she answered:＜br /＞ "...I prefer not to label myself. People tell me their dreams; if I like them and believe in them, I encourage them to pursue their dream and introduce them to others who can assist. When they succeed, I get ten percent."＜/p＞ ＜p＞And what was his new job?＜/p＞ ＜p＞Your main task is to establish yourself as a public figure so you can go on to bigger things. That's a matter of image.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Then she left town and let Christian do what he felt needed to be done all on his own because that's the sort of boss she had always been.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The Image of Christian is a fable about fame, celebrity, and other illusions set in 1995, the year I started the first edition. The second edition, published in 2025, is similar. I cleaned up some details that had bothered me and did a proofread that caught a few errors I had missed before. That's it. Updating the novel to set it in 2025 would have made it a different book.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞I thought it was just another frat party. Beers, laughs, and maybe some harmless flirting with Paul, Tom, and Joe. But then I found myself in the basement. That's where things got… different.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The music was lower, the lights dimmer. And the crowd? Not your typical college guys. These were older men, sharp in their suits, confident in their presence. Something about them pulled me in. I wasn't just watchingーI was part of it now.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Then I saw him. My neighbor. The one I'd passed a hundred times on the sidewalk, but lately things had changed between him and me. Here. In this secret world. The look in his eyes said he wasn't surprised to see me, but I was surprised to see him.＜/p＞ ＜p＞What followed was a blur of hands, whispers, and moments I never saw coming. It wasn't just funーit was electric. The kind of thing you don't talk about the next day but can't stop thinking about.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Being in college is about exploring, trying new things, and discovering a side of yourself you didn't know existed.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Trust me, once you step into the shadows, you won't want to leave.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Endless Suffering Remembering my Dear Mother【電子書籍】[ Ariwinaria Sitohang ]

＜p＞Hanging out with street punks, I often see them acting like crazy people under the influence of illegal drugs. I got to know them because I thought they were people who, like me, lived in torment and were neglected. I have heard every story of their lives. They left comfortable homes with sufficient food supplies, torturing themselves because they did not get enough attention from their parents. The suffering they feel is nothing compared to what I have experienced. I live relying only on myself. If I kept hanging out with them, maybe I would lose myself ? the only thing I truly have in my life. So, I decided not to spend time with them anymore. What I was looking for were friends who shared the same suffering as me, people who could support each other, exchange ideas, and offer mutual strength. But until now, I have not found any friend whose suffering comes close to mine. Finally, I thought that maybe it would be good to write about my life journey. Everyone has their own suffering, but perhaps my life experiences could motivate others who are in despair. Behind your suffering, there are many people suffering even more. Behind your happiness, there are people who are even happier. In this life, all you need is to be grateful and never lose yourself.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
