| les parrott eharmony: Catching the Wind - A Guide for Interpreting Ecclesiastes Dale McIntire, 2020-07-28 Depressing. Ungodly. Skippable. Each of these words have been used to describe Ecclesiastes. Catching the Wind: A Guide for Interpreting Ecclesiastes provides an interpretive companion for pastors, Bible study teachers and leaders, and Bible readers who are tired of skipping Ecclesiastes because either it is too hard to understand or its content appears too contrary to fit into preconceived notions of what and how God reveals Himself in His Word. The message of Ecclesiastes, often lost to readers and interpreters in the puzzling, enigmatic details of the book, becomes readily accessible when Ecclesiastes is considered in the whole. Catching the Wind utilizes the structure of a modern social research report to reveal the divine intent of Ecclesiastes, the divine truth that true meaning in human life comes in covenant relationship with the sovereign God and through no other means. The guide provides instruction for developing a biblical hermeneutic, an interpretation of the text of Ecclesiastes, examples of personal application, and abundant study questions for further investigation. |
| les parrott eharmony: The Outsourced Self Arlie Russell Hochschild, 2012-05-08 From the famed author of the bestselling The Second Shift and The Time Bind, a pathbreaking look at the transformation of private life in our for-profit world The family has long been a haven in a heartless world, the one place immune to market forces and economic calculations, where the personal, the private, and the emotional hold sway. Yet as Arlie Russell Hochschild shows in The Outsourced Self, that is no longer the case: everything that was once part of private life—love, friendship, child rearing—is being transformed into packaged expertise to be sold back to confused, harried Americans. Drawing on hundreds of interviews and original research, Hochschild follows the incursions of the market into every stage of intimate life. From dating services that train you to be the CEO of your love life to wedding planners who create a couple's personal narrative; from nameologists (who help you name your child) to wantologists (who help you name your goals); from commercial surrogate farms in India to hired mourners who will scatter your loved one's ashes in the ocean of your choice—Hochschild reveals a world in which the most intuitive and emotional of human acts have become work for hire. Sharp and clear-eyed, Hochschild is full of sympathy for overstressed, outsourcing Americans, even as she warns of the market's threat to the personal realm they are striving so hard to preserve. |

| les parrott eharmony: Seven Steps to Amazing Love Prince Mensah, 2008-10 Sex sells. Sense doesnt. This is what Christians face in this world. But we cannot use that as an excuse to justify reckless choices in our lives. This is the main reason why Prince Mensah wrote Seven Steps to Amazing Love. The book is an honest, no-holds-barred conversation about how Christians can achieve a fulfilling relationship with another person. Prince uses the Bible and contemporary research to support his seven recommendations. As Christians, it is imperative to know how to survive minefields on the path to a godly and fulfilling relationship. The reader is offered a chance to self-analyze with the truth of Gods word. There is no mincing of words in Seven Steps to Amazing Love. It is a book that suggests several ways to avoid, or survive, the prevailing sense of futility in todays culture when it comes to true love. Prince Mensah came to know Jesus Christ as his Lord and Personal Savior in 1992. The conversion occurred at Calvary Baptist Church in Accra, Ghana. Since then, Prince has conducted workshops and seminars about issues affecting Christian youth. He has spoken on subjects ranging from selfishness to sexuality. Issues of chastity and fidelity in a Christians life are focal points in Princes presentations. This is because todays microwave society disables people to think through problems. The hasty decision-making results in unpleasant circumstances in many areas, especially in relationships. Prince Mensah has held the position of secretary for the Hope Baptist Church Youth group in Accra, Ghana. He studied Christian Psychology in college and holds a Consultants Certificate in Mediation. He is also a Fellow of the African-American HIV University in Los Angeles, California. He is married to Charisse Sullivan-Mensah, a career musician. The couple lives in Columbia, MD. |

| les parrott eharmony: The Mystery of Marriage 20th Anniversary Edition Mike Mason, 2005-06-02 Meditate on the Spiritual Significance of Marriage In the 20th Anniversary Edition of this Gold Medallion Award winner, Mike Mason goes on a poetic search to understand the wondrous dynamics of committed love. In highly readable, first-person style, Mason’s writing stimulates readers’ thoughts and prayers and propels couples to deeper intimacy. “A marriage is not a joining of two worlds,” says the author, “but an abandoning of two worlds in order that one new one might be formed.” Rich chapters on “Otherness,” “Vows,” “Intimacy,” “Sex,” “Submission,” and an all-new chapter on “Oneness” lift readers to view the eternal, spiritual nature of this faith-filled, “impossible,” wild—yet wonderful—frontier. “An outstanding achievement. Rarely has a book aroused in me so much enthusiasm as has the combination of wisdom, depth, dignity, and glow that I find in these chapters.” -J.I. Packer “Absolutely exquisite. It reaches down deep into our innermost being, revealing, revitalizing, rewarding. A real classic.” -Gigi Graham Tchividjian “A drop everything book. Mason deals with the stunning paradoxes of the mystery, the problems, and the glories of marriage. I don’t need to read any other book on the subject.” -Elisabeth Elliot Story Behind the Book Over the twenty years since its publication, many couples have told me that they’ve read my book aloud to each other. This always amazes me and gives me great joy. I’m also amazed that many single people have read it. Either way, my goal is for hearts to be warmed by the mystery of divine love. I want couples to enter into deeper intimacy by thinking together about the mystery of marriage—about how their love, besides being a gift of God, reflects the very love He has for Himself in the Trinity. For God is not a bachelor, and throughout the Bible marriage is a supreme picture of the nature of God’s love and of His kingdom. I want people who read my book to feel so soaked in these wonderful, divine mysteries that it deepens their reverence for marriage and inspires them to greater love. -Mike Mason |
