Summary

Description:
If there is any immortal in our cultural tradition who has been sincerely loved by the masses from ancient times to the present, it must be the God of Wealth. Therefore, the top-ranking auspicious saying during the Spring Festival is definitely "May you be prosperous!" — The beautiful aspiration for wealth has been written into the genes of our nation. Based on this simple and healthy national sentiment, our ancestors actively and optimistically created an immortal in charge of wealth, the God of Wealth. The God of Wealth governs fortune and presides over wealth and prosperity. It is a benevolent god widely worshiped by the people and has always been highly respected and venerated.
The origin of the God of Wealth is rather complicated and there are various opinions, because there is not just one God of Wealth but a group, and each one has a different origin. Among the numerous Gods of Wealth, Fan Li, Bi Gan, Guan Yu, and Zhao Gongming are the most popular and enjoy the most incense offerings. Most of the Gods of Wealth worshiped in temples across the country are these four figures, so they are the most famous and have the widest influence.
This book, in the form of brief biographies, clarifies for readers the life stories of the prototype figures of the Gods of Wealth as well as the origin and development of the God of Wealth culture. It interprets the traditional cultural themes that we love to talk about from a historical perspective and guides readers to draw more spiritual sources of auspiciousness, optimism, and ceaseless struggle from the outstanding traditional culture of our nation.

    Goodbye Sweet Girl - A Story of...

    In this brave and beautiful memoir, written with the raw honesty and devastating openness of The Glass Castle and The Liar’s Club, a woman chronicles how her marriage devolved from a love story into a shocking tale of abuse—examining the tenderness and violence entwined in the relationship, why she endured years of physical and emotional pain, and how she eventually broke free. 
    ""You made me hit you in the face,"" he said mournfully. ""Now everyone is going to know."" ""I know,"" I said. ""I’m sorry."" 
    Kelly Sundberg’s husband, Caleb, was a funny, warm, supportive man and a wonderful father to their little boy Reed. He was also vengeful and violent. But Sundberg did not know that when she fell in love, and for years told herself he would get better. It took a decade for her to ultimately accept that the partnership she desired could not work with such a broken man. In her remarkable book, she offers an intimate record of the joys and terrors that accompanied her long, difficult awakening, and presents a haunting, heartbreaking glimpse into why women remain too long in dangerous relationships. 
    To understand herself and her violent marriage, Sundberg looks to her childhood in Salmon, a small, isolated mountain community known as the most redneck town in Idaho. Like her marriage, Salmon is a place of deep contradictions, where Mormon ranchers and hippie back-to-landers live side-by-side; a place of magical beauty riven by secret brutality; a place that takes pride in its individualism and rugged self-sufficiency, yet is beholden to church and communal standards at all costs. 
    Mesmerizing and poetic, Goodbye, Sweet Girl is a harrowing, cautionary, and ultimately redemptive tale that brilliantly illuminates one woman’s transformation as she gradually rejects the painful reality of her violent life at the hands of the man who is supposed to cherish her, begins to accept responsibility for herself, and learns to believe that she deserves better.

    We can’t always control what happens to us. But we can discover how to heal the hidden hurt it leaves behind. If you’re like many of us, you carry a weight of buried pain. Despite looking put together on the outside, you feel secretly fractured within. While you appear strong and resilient on the outside, inside a storm brews of all the ways you’ve been hurt or harmed. There’s a constant churn of unprocessed feelings of shame, anger, grief, or loneliness. And your body tells the story of its struggles in a myriad of aches and ailments. Little by little, you find yourself becoming disconnected from who you truly are. Not knowing what to do with your suffering and fearing you'll be hurt again, you’ve learned to cope, to numb and suppress the ache within. It doesn’t have to be this way. In Healing What’s Within, therapist and professor Chuck DeGroat invites you on a compassionate journey inward to return and retune to the life God created you to live. Along the way, you will discover how to:  Gently consider and confront what’s keeping you stuck and blocking the path to joy and flourishing  Better understand the relationship between your body and your emotions  Experience God as a compassionate witness to your trauma―and his unconditional kindness to wherever you find yourself  Discover real rest and renewal as you reconnect with God, others, and yourself.  It’s never too late to start healing. God’s heart is always ready to help you find your way Home.
