Summary

Epictetus was born into slavery about 55 ce in the eastern outreaches of the Roman Empire. Once freed, he established an influential school of Stoic philosophy, stressing that human beings cannot control life, only their responses to it. By putting into practice the ninety-three witty, wise, and razor-sharp instructions that make up The Art of Living, readers learn to meet the challenges of everyday life successfully and to face life's inevitable losses and disappointments with grace.

    A UFO investigator presents a provocative theory about how the moon got here, who brought it here, and why—with fascinating historical evidence! 
     
    Was the moon always in our skies? UFO investigator Rob Shelsky doesn’t think so. In Invader Moon he reveals the secret history of a time before the moon, its dramatic arrival, and its momentous impact on Earth’s civilizations. 
     
    Shelsky contends that there were two distinct civilizations on our planet—ours, and one before ours. He goes on to suggest that the earlier civilization did not originate on Earth. When it arrived here, it brought the moon along with it. Offering more than mere conjecture, Shelsky supports his theory with physical and archeological evidence, historical records, and oral histories from around the world.

    We are what we read, according to Robert DiYanni. Reading may delight us or move us; we may read for instruction or inspiration. But more than this, in reading we discover ourselves. We gain access to the lives of others, explore the limitless possibilities of human existence, develop our understanding of the world around us, and find respite from the hectic demands of everyday life. In You Are What You Read, DiYanni provides a practical guide that shows how we can increase the benefits and pleasures of reading literature by becoming more skillful and engaged readers.DiYanni suggests that we attend first to what authors say and the way in which they say it, rather than rushing to decide what they mean. He considers the various forms of literature, from the essay to the novel, the short story to the poem, demonstrating rewarding approaches to each in sample readings of classic works. Through a series of illuminating oppositions, he explores the paradoxical pleasures of reading: solitary versus social reading, submitting to or resisting the author, reading inwardly or outwardly, and more. DiYanni closes with eight recommended reading practices, thoughts on the different experiences of print and digital reading, and advice on what to read and why.

     Many Books Have Been Written Discusing the Will of God in Healing. This book began as a seed when my wife was diagnosed with cancer. We had to decide on treatments recominded by her doctor.. as we prayed about what to do the Lord ministered to my mind very clearly " It is Stupid to fight a disease on only one level that is attacking on three levels at once. Body ,Soul and Spirit." This book deals with the Soul and Spirit levels of the battle. Depression kills more people than cancer, because it causes them to lose hope. Your will is so important for emotional healing are you willing to be made whole? 
    It is your choice to be whole. The question is does your choice have anything to do with your healing? John 5:6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he said unto him, Will you be made whole? 
    The First Step in Healing is to Want to Be Well.. 
    Answer This Question. If It Was Up To You ...Would You Be..Whole,Well , Healed? Emotionally, Mentally, Physically Are you “Willing” to Be Whole? I didn't Ask If you Could Make Yourself Whole. I did not Ask If you were Able to Make yourself Whole. I asked Would You ... Are You Willing to GET Well? Are you Willing to Be Made Well? Are you willing to Be Put Back together? Are you willing to Let God Put You Back Together?
