The "Who Am I Now That I Am Alone?" program began after my divorce. I gathered others who had experienced divorce into a group to explore our situation and how we could move forward with our lives. This group became one of the first in the country to help people going through divorce, remember in the 70's there still was not a great deal of acceptance of divorce in the culture. Hundreds of people have experienced the program that was developed after the first group and have found it very helpful. Over the years people have asked to read the book, but it was a group process guide and not a narrative. This book translates most of the program's material, which was designed for group interaction, into a format that will allow those who have experienced loss through divorce or death to benefit from the program on their own. Chapters 1-3 concern communication, including communicating and understanding feelings. We can only develop meaningful relationships through effective communication. These chapters also work on improving both interpersonal communication skills and your internal (self-talk) communication. Chapters 4-6 focus on understanding the importance of personal relationships in our lives, guiding readers to move out and expand and deepen supportive relationships. These are important skills for enriching the quality of anyone's life. Finally, Chapters 7-8 are designed to help readers develop a more positive personal identity. Many people come out of a divorce or the loss of a relationship feeling like a failure and somewhat worthless. These chapters reintroduce readers to their authentic selves. Your authentic self has so many good qualities which, when recognized and affirmed, will offset the feelings of guilt and failure. This change in perspective will bring the motivation to leave the past behind and build a new and exciting life.

The New York Times–bestselling classic set amid the mountains and streams of early twentieth-century Montana, “as beautiful as anything in Thoreau or Hemingway” (Chicago Tribune). When Norman Maclean sent the manuscript of A River Runs Through It and Other Stories to New York publishers, he received a slew of rejections. One editor, so the story goes, replied, “it has trees in it.” Today, the title novella is recognized as one of the great American tales of the twentieth century, and Maclean as one of the most beloved writers of our time. The finely distilled product of a long life of often surprising rapture—for fly-fishing, for the woods, for the interlocked beauty of life and art—A River Runs Through It has established itself as a classic of the American West filled with beautiful prose and understated emotional insights. Based on Maclean’s own experiences as a young man, the book’s two novellas and short story are set in the small towns and mountains of western Montana. It is a world populated with drunks, loggers, card sharks, and whores, but also one rich in the pleasures of fly-fishing, logging, cribbage, and family. By turns raunchy and elegiac, these superb tales express, in Maclean’s own words, “a little of the love I have for the earth as it goes by.” “Maclean’s book—acerbic, laconic, deadpan—rings out of a rich American tradition that includes Mark Twain, Kin Hubbard, Richard Bissell, Jean Shepherd, and Nelson Algren.” —New York Times Book Review Includes a new foreword by Robert Redford, director of the Academy Award–winning film adaptation

In a cultural climate where literary study and theater practice often seem out of touch and out of sympathy with one another, reading and acting tend to be viewed as dissimilar, if not mutually exclusive, occupations. One is private, mental, passive - and something that we all do. The other is public, physical, active - and something that only a few highly trained practitioners do.

Eden and Josh reunite as Eden's rape case goes to trial, testing the strength of their relationship amidst the challenges of college life and Eden's pursuit of justice.

I'm what you would call a 'challenge junkie'. Others have challenged me all my life. "Ain’t no woman made it yet in this business and you won't either!” they said to me. I took that challenge and beat out 240 men to become the #1 saleswoman in that company. In the early '90s, Venture Capitalists simply did not fund women in technology.

Exactly 6,884 years ago, the journey of man began with splendour, but disobedience to the Commands of God Almighty provoked God's anger which affected creation in its entirety. Mankind began to experience suffering, pain, sorrow and deaths for over 4,000 years. 2,000 years ago out of compassion God Almighty released back to earth His only begotten son "Jesus Christ" to reveal the plan of God's coming earthly Kingdom to the entire world through the gospel of the kingdom of God that the Holy Bible testified about. Jesus Christ paid the full price with his life for the original sin, so that God's plans can proceed as He desired. Now the Son of Man is back with the Kingdom of God which the entire world has never experienced before. I am Adam, Jesus, and now the awaited Messiah and I command you to pick up this book and study it so that it may be well with you and your loved once forever. The times recorded in Malachi 4 have now arrived. I have been sent by the LORD of hosts, I AM, King of Grace and Glory, Almighty God to Lead the entire world out of its misery. The Kingdom of God Almighty now rests in your hand.

Mary had so many questions for God. The questions, anger and pain intensified throughout the years and seemed overwhelming. If God knew her life before she was even born then why did He allow her to be molested as a child? Why did He allow her to go through with an abortion? Could she go on living a lie the rest of her life? Was there any hope? Could God ever forgive her? Could she ever forgive herself or other people that were involved? Would she ever see her child again? Those profound events that reshaped her life would forever be with her. She searched the bible for answers. Her story tells you how it affected her life, the babys life and others involved. With abortion there are several people involved like the father, doctors, nurses or maybe even the person that helped make the decision? I Was Once Ashamed But I Am Now Forgiven helps you find answers and forgiveness.
