Nonfiction Books on Women in Pain

Women and men more often than not do not receive the same level of care and treatment when they go to a doctor for assistance. Women are statistically more likely to be silenced or ignored; their aches and pains are often chalked up to menstrual ailments, overreactions, or just plain attention-seeking behavior. This is not always the case, of course, but it happens often enough to warrant plenty…

Book 969: The Art of Communicating - Thích Nhất Hạnh

Book 969: The Art of Communicating by Thích Nhất Hạnh - #buddhism #communication #interpersonalcommunications #nonfiction #philosophy #psychology #relationships #religion #selfhelp #spirituality #technology #bookreview #books #bookblogger

I had to read this for a course I’m talking about the art of brave communication. We only had to read the first couple of chapters, but I found it to be an approachable and relatively easy read so kept going. Where Hanh excelled was in his simple writing. For the most part, there were no overwrought metaphors or awkward analogies. There was one at the end that I’ll get to, but I think it’s a…

When I am silent, I fall into the place where everything is music.

• Not one word written by Jesus • Not one word about Jesus from any witness • Not one word about Jesus written in the time of Jesus • Not even one credibly sourced reference to Jesus • No inscriptions to Jesus from the time of Jesus • No monuments to Jesus from the time of Jesus • No artifacts for Jesus from the time of Jesus

Jesus is JUST A STORY!

"In the entire first Christian century Jesus is not mentioned by a single Greek, or Roman historian, religion scholar, politician, philosopher or poet. His name never occurs in a single inscription, and it is never found in a single piece of private correspondence. Zero! Zip references! In other words, there is no non-Christian evidence from the first century of a 'historical Jesus'."

-- Bart D. Ehrman, Bible scholar, Professor of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

"Still, to press yet further on the issue of evidence we do not have. I need to stress that we do not have a single reference to Jesus by anyone pagan, Jew or Christian - who was a contemporary eyewitness, who recorded things he said and did."

-- "Did Jesus Exist" - Bart D. Ehrman. HarperOne Publishing

Believers sometimes say things like, "are you really going to claim that Jesus didn't exist?"

Yes. Yes, I am. What other intellectually honest conclusion can I come to when history cannot find anywhere history's purported most important person? When you're even quoting things he supposedly said, this absence of evidence isn't some minor quibble that can just be brushed off. What is anyone supposed to do when the evidence for Jesus is even worse than the evidence for Bigfoot?

“We look through [an able-bodied helper]’s eyes so regularly, are so eager to identify with them, so ready to celebrate their generosity that we forget to ask even one of the many questions hovering around the disabled recipients of ‘help.’ Like, how did this experience feel to you? Did you want anyone’s help? Was it even helpful? What needs did you actually have in this moment that remained ignored or misunderstood? What could be put in place that would anticipate this need so that you aren’t forced to be dependent on the kindness of a random stranger who may or may not be there next time? Did you know you were being filmed or photographed? Did you want those images shared? All over the entire internet? Did this moment make you feel like a spectacle? How many times have you been put in this position before?”

Chita Rivera was the original Anita in Broadway’s ‘West Side Story’

Chita Rivera catapulted to fame playing Anita in the 1957 musical “West Side Story” on Broadway. But please don’t confuse the 90-year-old diva with the actress Rita Moreno, who played the same role in the 1961 film. When people tell her that they loved her in the movie, “I straighten them out,” Rivera writes in her new memoir, “Chita” (HarperOne). “Then [I] politely say, ‘I was the original…

Who Jesus Is

Today's inspiration comes from:

Soul Fuel

by Bear Grylls

"'When I was growing up, Madonna once said, “Jesus Christ was like a movie star, my favorite idol of all.”1

Napoleon Bonaparte went further: “I know men, and I tell you Jesus Christ was not a man. Superficial minds see a resemblance between Christ and the founders of empires and the gods of other religions. That resemblance does not exist. There is between Christianity and other religions the distance of infinity.”²

And then there was novelist H. G. Wells: “I am an historian, I am not a believer. But, this penniless preacher from Galilee is irresistibly the centre of history.”³

There has never been a human quite like Jesus. He towers above us all in goodness and courage, in impact and influence. The greatest artists, leaders, and thinkers, all put together, are dwarfed by Him.

Yet Jesus did not come to impress us. He said He had come to save us, in total humility, as God come down among us. If He is who He says He is, and the Gospel is real, then this is very good news. He simply wants us to learn to reach out and trust Him to help and calm us, to forgive and restore us. If we are to live fully and empowered, then this has to be the first step.

So wherever you are with God — whether you are searching, are wanting more, or have turned your back and are walking away — this verse is truth:

The Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost. — Luke 19:10

Jesus wants us to learn to reach out and trust Him to help and calm us, to forgive and restore us.

Who Was Jesus?

At some point in life, most people find themselves asking this simple question. We all have to make up our minds, just as people did back when He was walking on earth. For them — and us too — there seem to be only three credible, possible answers:

He is out of His mind. (Mark 3:21) He is possessed by Beelzebul! (Mark 3:22) [He is] the Son of God. (Mark 3:11)

In other words, He was either insane, evil, or God.

I used to think, Couldn’t He simply have been a good teacher and good guy? But then I looked at His life and words. Do good teachers repeatedly claim to be God? Do they claim to be one with the Father? Do they say they have come to die for all of mankind? Do they raise people from the dead and walk on water and calm storms? Those are strong claims and strong deeds.

S. Lewis reasoned that “a man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be [insane]… or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice… But, let us not come up with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.”4

Who we decide Jesus is to us is a big question with big implications for our lives. But if we study the overwhelming and compelling evidence and then choose to believe that He is who He said He is—if we can take that leap of faith and ask, “Are You really there, and are You really good?”—it can be the start of an incredible journey and adventure. An adventure into life.

That’s why the offer He made two thousand years ago still stands for us today:

Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. — Matthew 11:28

Even today, for you and me, right now — that invitation has the power to change everything. If we let Him, He seeks us, saves us, strengthens us, supports us, and shows us how to live every day.
