His son said: all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive'. The Prophet echoed same words. Again his son advised: watch and pray. Th at ye enter not into temptation; the spirit indeed, is willing, but the flesh is weak'. What is prayer? Is it not man's last resort? Is it not man's way of reaching out to the unseen? Who made this linking up with the unseen possible? Enjoy your reading, my brothers and sisters.

This book is about the three common words we normally say, their meaning and their impacts in our daily lives. Many Christians use the word faith often but only few truly have it. This book will teach you more about faith, the application, importance and how we can apply it in our daily lives. As human beings we need faith to help us stay strong in stormy times. Another important topic discussed in this book is "love". In our world today, love is the most common word used. We use it mostly on daily basis; we understand and define it in so many ways but only few know the true meaning of it. I have seen many occasions where a guy will meet a girl for the first time and start prophesying how much love he has for the girl. Some people believe in love at first sight, I'm not against it, I know something will get you attracted from somebody before you can make a move, but that atraction doesn't mean you love the person, is only being close with someone that you will get to develop real love. Real love develops is not based on physical attraction. Another important word discussed is sex. Nobody in this life can tell me he/she has never heard of sex. Sex is everywhere. This book will teach you some things you have to know about sex; it is not something you haven't heard of, but teachings in biblical way.

What happened after that day? Manga artists interview victims of the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami and share their stories through manga. An up-to-date omnibus of 10 manga artists.

As we trudge through our lives, there are unfulfilled dreams that we leave behind. If in an instant, we are to lose the ones we love, in that very last breath, what would our actions be? How would we want to spend our waking moments before we heave the last breath and leave all we love behind us and retire into everlasting slumber?

Hypersoft set, an extension of soft set, is more flexible and useful as it tackles the limitation of soft set for dealing with scenarios where distinct attributes are further classified into disjoint attribute-valued sets. It replaces single-argument approximate function of soft set with multi-argument approximate function. The main goal of this research is to align existing literature on single-valued neutrosophic fuzzy soft sets with the need for such a multi-argument function.

Yuno is thinking so hard about her future prospects, it's even haunting her dreams! But the cure for a furrowed brow is good friends, and the girls at Hidamari Apartments (including their newest tenant Matsuri!) aren't about to let Yuno stress out alone. Whether it's an unexpected encounter on a college visit, a swimsuit shopping adventure, or a school trip to Kyoto, Nara, and Osaka, the days are getting a little more out of the ordinary...and a lot more fun!

An Inspirational Handbook on Bible Principles and Ethical / Moral Values that Guide our Choices, and thus our Character and Lives.

It's Yuno and Miyako's last summer as high school students! They want to make the most of it, but summer also means preparing for college entrance exams. As the impending tests weigh on their minds, the lighthearted and unchanging everyday of Hidamari Apartments and school life unfold.

While both Christians and non-Christians alike are faced with the same highs and lows of life circumstances, the Christian's response to these is held to a higher standard: to God's standards. However, even with the best will in the world, Christians can only achieve this through God's divine enablement. This empowerment is only available through His grace. Therefore, we must embrace His grace to receive His supernatural assistance. Embrace with His Grace is a deeply personal testimony about God's grace, and it is not told in the complex language of the theologian but rather in the plain, loving style of a simple believer. Author Grace Ume offers a practical approach to tackling key aspects of everyday life, providing real-life examples based on her personal experiences. From first accepting God as our true Father to learning to recognize the plan he has for us, Embrace with His Grace is a thought-provoking narrative. Ume's deeply personal recollections of triumphs, challenges, and pitfalls can help others on their own sometimes turbulent Christian journey that may often resemble a rollercoaster ride. Moving through life, we are fed a steady diet of untruth that are at odds with God's word, we are ignorant of the fact that neighborly, godly love offers a freedom that narrower definitions of love cannot match. All you have to do is make a choice to embrace His grace, and the abundant life promised by Christ becomes a possibility.

Caregiving studies generally do not focus on the post-caregiving phase of care, or African Americans post-caregivers (AAPCGs). This mixed-methods study guided by the Transitions Theory, explored the experiences of 40 AAPCGs residing in Los Angeles, California and Phoenix, Arizona, whose loved ones died within the last 10 years. Data collection tools included individual interviews, demographic questionnaire, CES-D, Brief Cope, and Social Support. Findings present the specific aims of the study. Aim 1 dealt with the types, patterns and properties of post-caregiving transitions (PCT). Many AAPCGs experienced multiple, simultaneous transitions that continued to impact their lives many years after caregiving ends. Aim 2 dealt with factors that facilitate or inhibit healthy PCT. Facilitators include: Being satisfied with care provided; fulfilling death-bed promises; living out the legacy of the deceased; deep spiritual beliefs in God and support of family, friends and church. Inhibitors include: Experiencing a deep sense of loss, confusion, depression, loneliness, and guilt; physical challenges such as fatigue and exhaustion, breathing problems, dizziness, fainting, cognitive difficulties, pain, headaches, hypertension and insomnia; family conflicts, job or home loss that linger long after PCT. Aim 3 involves process indicators including: connectedness with family, friends, co-workers, church and God; returning to work or school. Coping strategies that helped AAPCGs include: productive ventures, family mementoes, reminiscing, new baby, or visiting cemetery. Appropriate coping led to outcome indicators of mastery such as new environment; making decisions; taking actions; readying oneself for another caregiving role; preparing for one's own life and death; or caring for self. Fluid integrative identities include: Sense of balance, peacefulness and joy, fulfillment, compassion; remembering without pain; or new identity. Implications for practice, policy, education and research include: Care providers and policy makers must ensure that AA caregivers receive adequate EOL and hospice information and support for adequate preparation of loved one's death. Geriatric educators must design and implement curricular programming that includes the post-caregiving phase as a very important phase of caregiving. Researchers should design culturally-congruent assessment tools or improve the checklist developed in this study to appropriately measure PCT; and also develop culturally-relevant interventions to facilitate healthy PCT.
