Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - After two decades of mental, emotional, and physical afflictions, J. T. Wahlberg had had enough, and he was all set to end his twenty-year addiction to alcohol. There was just one problem: he 'forgot' to research the potential risks of detoxing on his own without any medical supervision. Armed with cans of Campbell's Chunky soup, plenty of water, and a few tips he had picked up from the movie Trainspotting, he hunkered down in his apartment for what he imagined would be a couple of days of pain followed by a life of sunny sobriety. Instead, it's a miracle he survived to tell his story. In between describing his harrowing do-it-yourself alcohol withdrawal experience, Wahlberg recounts how and why he became addicted to alcohol in the first place, the negative effects his addiction had on his health and his personal and professional life, and his unconventional approach to sobriety over the past six years. He also offers a blistering critique of alcohol's socially accepted and yet destructive role in society and urges readers to reconsider their relationship to this highly addictive substance.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - There is very little information about the Jesus Elevator on the internet. Somehow, even Wikipedia missed it. In this book, you are going to learn about Hartley Somerville, a prairie born-again farmer who purchased a 75 foot tall grain elevator in Ellerslie, Alberta, moved it onto his farmstead and, in 1965, repurposed it into the biggest scripture sign Canada has ever seen. Fourteen years later, with the help of a few volunteers, Henry Vanderpyl undertook the task of renovating the elevator with a new verse. For twenty-four years, its endless message steered travelers-far and wide-alongside the Queen Elizabeth II highway at the south entrance to Edmonton: the Gateway to the North.Sometimes, God calls people to do big things. For Henry, big things done with calligraphy became his calling unto God.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Where did we come from Why are we here Is there a god In our modern world, many people yearn for answers to these most fundamental of life's questions, having become disillusioned with trite explanations and troubled by narratives that deny their intuitive spirituality. Beginning with some of our most ancient ancestors, Wakan Tanka traces the evolution of humanity through the ages. Citing paleontological and archaeological discoveries, along with recent genetic evidence, it recounts how mankind evolved from the earliest mammals into anatomically and behaviourally modern humans.Wakan Tanka describes how human culture and spirituality evolved in concert with anatomy. Showing how humankind has, since very ancient times, had an instinctual, moral sense, it discusses how our spirituality has given us an appreciation for both the aesthetic and divine aspects of life as reflected in our cultures and artistic endeavours. By comparing philosophical and religious views of creation with modern scientific theory, Wakan Tanka reaches the conclusion that, rather than conflicting, these views are remarkably similar and equally valid ways of describing the same reality. Indeed, our scientific knowledge and spiritual beliefs can be harmonized, providing us with a deeper understanding of ourselves, of creation and of life's purpose.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The general consensus among a majority of social media platforms is the Trump Administration, thus far, has done a very poor job, regarding the management of the SARSr-CoV-SARS CoV-2 Human Coronavirus Pandemic in the United States. Many have charged President Donald Trump with mismanagement of the COVID-19 Novel Virus; his leadership has been described many times as being a mixture of incompetency, unpresidential decision-making, fantasy, conspiracy theories and social divisiveness driven by intentional, systemic racism. When this novel virus made it to America in January 2020, President Donald Trump called it a 'Hoax', and he has maintained, publicly, it is not real; but privately, he knew from the outset, that COVID-19 is deadly.By September 16, 2020, 196,908 American Lives have been lost.One of the main underlying conditions of the 'Hoax Thesis' is the Trump Administration's Blueprint, which is the central theme of this book. Quietly, and without any 'panic,' the latter has managed the greatest transfer of wealth, from the public sector to the private sector in American History. Initiating a Trade Tariff War against China, 'ventilators' were excluded. As the American death toll mounted, a hyper-market demand was created for this and other critical healthcare products. Under the AirBridge Project, one round trip to China to bring back to America such commodities cost the American Taxpayers $750,000! FEMA paid the bill.While this 'Supply Chain' was operating behind the scenes, the Black Lives Matter Movement Demonstrations erupted across America and the world-sparked by the George Floyd Murder. It is passionately argued that social justice for African-Americans is best paid in the form of a $20 million to$150 million Reparation payment for each descendant of African Slaves. This Reparation would make Police Brutality Reform unnecessary.Interestingly, Joe Biden awarded $12 million to the Jewish Holocaust Survivors in 2015.
