About this deal

Although not everyone's cup of tea, especially the heavy religious mentions, overall I think the book presents a very real picture of a celebrity who continues to work on himself after a complete breakdown. It's the work many of us are doing on ourselves right now. While this book is marketed as a self-help book, it’s better viewed as a story of one man’s struggle, and from that we can empathize with him and extrapolate how we can forge our own paths forward in our own journeys. Jesus assumes that His followers will have enemies. He has just stated that His disciples are blessed when men hate them, ostracize them, heap insults on them, and spurn their names as evil for His sake (6:22). We shouldn’t have enemies because of our obnoxious or insensitive behavior. But if we live righteously and hold firmly to God’s truth, we will have enemies in this evil world. Our lives will convict sinners who will try to bring us down so that they can justify their own sins. But we must respond to all mistreatment by actively loving those who wrong us, never by retaliating. Hindi nga ako humihingi ng tawad sa kanya noon kasi iniisip ko kung ako ang ginawan niya ng ganito hindi ko siya papatawarin. Ganun rin ang tingin ko sa kanya,” he said. Restorative justice This book is mostly about Zac's experiences and what he learned about himself, but he also shares helpful tips about things that helped him that may be helpful for the reader. Even just describing some of the treatments and therapies he experienced was helpful for me. I too have a horribly mean inner voice and will now be investigating DBT since I didn't know there was a specific therapy for that. Those who are struggling with mental and emotional health issues may find this book helpful either because Zac's tips and suggestions are helpful or because they feel less alone in their struggles.

Radical Love: An Introduction to Queer Theology. By Patrick S Radical Love: An Introduction to Queer Theology. By Patrick S

With the early portraits I made, I wanted to show the reductionism around gender and sex in particular. After the first portraits commissioned by Paper Magazine in 2015, the prints were exhibited at the World Economic Forum in 2016, after which Chelsea and I stayed in touch, and worked together on a short graphic short story called ‘Suppressed Images 2016’ that we published as part of her clemency campaign. In the comic we forecast the idea of Obama commuting her sentence, and Chelsea being freed and being able to come and see an exhibition of portraits of herself for the first time. We published the comic on the morning of 17 January, and then that afternoon Obama commuted her sentence. It was an unbelievable and emotional experience. Omid Safi is Associate Professor of Islamic Studies at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, where he specializes on Islamic mysticism (Sufism), contemporary Islamic thought, and medieval Islamic history. He received his PhD from Duke University in 2000. Before coming to UNC, he was an Associate Professor of Philosophy and Religion at Colgate University in Hamilton, New York. This was a great book and I highly recomend it. Levi tells of his journey from a breakdown in Austin to his current status in his personal mental health and happiness journey. The writing was well done and the thoughts were provoking. All needed for a good novel. I have just finished the book and intend to really consider a lot of his journey and his findings along the way. First, a lot of what he said really spoke to me. I also have a deep faith in God and the Christian faith and I have struggled with depression. I also have struggled with self-love and severe negative self talk. I however am an average joe out there in average land--so when a movie star shares these deeply personal difficulties and hurdles (which makes him exactly as one of the rest of us), I have to change my perspective about the lives of the "rich and famous". I applaud Levi for being so honest. If he wrote the book with the intention of helping other people, then he has succeeded. Towards the end of the book he started talking about his thinking that he would be able to fix and be done with his mental health issues--and I notated in my book that a "fix" was not possible. And then he continues on with that very same thought. That our personal mental health is a journey, a process. And I wholeheartedly agree with that. I never had any idea he was struggling so much in all this time. It's crazy to think how someone who could bring so much joy on TV and interviews etc could be going through such dark times. It goes to show you can't really know what anyone is going through, and we need to always remember to be kind and empathetic to everyone, and as Zac explains in this book, to ourselves. Welcome to England, 1809. London is a violent, intolerant city, exhausted by years of war, beset by soaring prices and political tensions. By day, John Church preaches on the radical possibilities of love to a multicultural, working-class congregation in Southwark. But by night, he crosses the river to the secret and glamorous world of a gay molly house on Vere Street, where ordinary men reinvent themselves as funny, flirtatious drag queens and rent boys cavort with labourers and princes alike. There, Church becomes the first minister to offer marriages between men, at enormous risk.If that is true, then the command to love is implicitly also a command to set our minds on things that are above — all that God promises to be for us — not on things that are on the earth (Colossians 3:2).

The portraits are about exploding outmoded ideas of biologically inscribed identity, refuting stereotyped representations of phenotypical characteristics, and using a scientific and data-driven process to show how many different readings there are of the same data. Jesus sums up His directives in this verse. When He says that “you will be sons of the Most High,” he does not mean that you become a child of God by your loving deeds, but rather that you prove or show it in that way. We bear His likeness, just as our physical children bear a resemblance to us as parents. God shows His kindness to ungrateful and evil people by giving them life, health, food, clothing, and many other blessings. Most of these people never express their gratitude to God. Yet He keeps on giving it to them. When we show God’s radical love by being kind to those who mistreat us, by treating others as we wish to be treated, by giving when there’s nothing in it for us, sometimes those in the world will notice and ask, “Why are you different?” That’s when we tell them about God’s love in Jesus. Phone interview conducted between Hatty Nestor and Heather Dewey-Hagborg, January 2018 between New Mexico and Berlin.what is ultimately a beautiful, sentimental exploration of divine love and the many forms it can take, radical love is a concise, curated collection of sufi poetry designed to make you feel — my most favorite thing. As there is truth, beauty, and goodness in all religious paths, exposure to Islamic insights is an essential component of one's inter-religious reading. I am reading this now for the second time and tagging those passages which speak to me in a distinct way. I am sure that a third reading might cause me to add some tags and remove others.

Lesson 26: Radical Love (Luke 6:27-35) | Bible.org

The director of the documentary, Joey Reyes, who couldn’t believe such a thing was genuinely a person’s motive, also shared his perspective in the documentary.

Incredulous of the act, Michael thought Cherry Pie was out of her mind. At some point in the docu, he said he didn’t expect her to forgive him after what he did to the family matriarch. If everyone would follow this simple rule, we would have no angry quarrels, no lying, stealing, abusive speech, or violence. Everyone would treat everyone else with respect and kindness, being sensitive to their feelings. It would be heaven on earth! I hadn’t met Chelsea in person. She collected some hair clippings when she was getting her haircut. She also took two Q-tips and swabbed the inside of her mouth, and mailed these from prison to her lawyer. Then the lawyer sent me a Fed-Ex envelope with the materials. At the time I was working at a lab at the Art Institute of Chicago. Look at your heart and apply the spirit of Jesus’ teaching to yourself, not to others. Clearly, Jesus is confronting our sinful motives of selfishness, greed, and standing for our rights. We’re all prone to blame others and exonerate ourselves. But Jesus here aims at our hearts and challenges us to apply it. When He says, “But I say to you who hear” (6:27), He is contrasting it with those who are under woe because they do not hear so as to obey. Those who really hear what Jesus says will not point the finger at others; they will point it at themselves and will deal with their wrong motives. To sum up, we should not take Jesus’ commands with a strict literalism that contradicts other Scripture, but neither should we dodge their cutting edge. They convict us all and we all need to grow in this radical love. Jesus’ teaching falls under four points: Jesus begins with a general statement, “Love your enemies.” The word is “ agape,” love that is committed to the highest good of the one loved. Such love is not primarily a feeling, but an action stemming from an attitude. Thus it can be commanded. The attitude of love thinks about the other person as a fellow sinner who needs to know the forgiveness of sins that is in Jesus. We were once just as this sinner now is—selfish, blinded by sin, and alienated from God. But thankfully, God showed us mercy. This attitude frees us to act in ways that show God’s love and grace to the wrongdoer. Thus Jesus adds, “Do good to those who hate you.” It is not enough just to refrain from getting even. It is not sufficient to separate yourself from the one who has wronged you. Jesus says that we must actively do good to the wrongdoer!
