Описание: Peace can be elusive. And even for the well educated or the well traveled, one can seek the concept of peace but have difficulty understanding it, much less attaining it. This raises an interesting question: Is there a practical and proven path to both understanding and experiencing peace? Owning and Sowing Seeds of Peace examines various attributes and shades of peace. The text elucidates on some generic sources of turmoil that threaten to disrupt the cultivation of peace. Exploring spirituality, author Francis S. Nicol references three major world religions, and amply examines varied manifestations of turmoil and their contrasting influence on peace. Personal experience, readings, and research in relevant fields provide the basis for analysis, interpretation, and content presentation. Dr. Nicol's autobiographical investigation presents useful orientations and conditions for attaining, restoring, and maintaining peace. The recount of his relevant life experiences is rich, riveting, and inspiring.

Описание:
Jolanda Jones wore shame and fear like a trench coat because of the life she was born into. It permeated every major decision she made. At some point, she decided to accept that most of her hardships and trauma were inflicted through no fault of her own, such as her dad's suicide. And even self-inflicted obstacles were capable of being overcome, and were at a minimum, teachable moments.
In Owning My S.H.I.T , Jolanda shares her transformation from shame-filled victim to unapologetic victor. She learned to flip the script on what most people consider kryptonite and turned it into her superpower. Jolanda's style of storytelling is a compelling read that will have you on the edge of your seat wondering how she fought through her S.H.I.T to become the bold, empathetic, altruistic fighter for the least, the last, and the lost, that we know her to be.
