Though this grid can be a helpful tool, far too often it is a weight around the neck. So what can be done about it? How can readers change their perspectives--replacing the grid that drags them down with one that equips them to face life's challenges and live victoriously? In Look at It This Way, author and speaker Jan Silvious explores, in-depth, vital truths that can help Christians reframe the way they think: breaking them out of their self-pity, anger, depression, anxiety and hopelessness, and equipping them to deal with the events, circumstances and people in their lives in a healthy and positive way. Jan highlights such key truths as \"Whatever happens, it's one event in a lifetime of events,\" \"For every choice there is a consequence,\" \"God isn't angry with you,\" \"The last chapter has not been written,\" and eight others. Deeply rooted in Scripture, these valuable insights will give readers hope and real help for managing their thinking, showing how they can, at last, move forward with the courageous and grace-filled life God intended them to live.From the Hardcover edition.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2s7v35s3hm6xja991xdw3c.jpg?v=b997aca585","L?O{zHs:j[oL.mbHofj[H?ayoLay",2003,192,[102],{"id":103,"slug":104,"name":105},"01kx2s7v32w8ctdn6psnevbkzs","jan-silvious-e1cr","Jan Silvious",[107,108],{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":19},{"id":109,"name":110,"slug":111,"is_fiction":19},95,"Self-Help","self-help",[],{"pace":54,"complexity":7,"audience":57,"mood":114,"themes":116,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[115,60],"inspiring",[],{"id":118,"slug":119,"title":120,"description":7,"primary_cover_url":121,"cover_blurhash":122,"first_publish_year":123,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":124,"authors":125,"genres":130,"series":132,"enrichment":133},"01kx2sn5e94px0dzjr1vbzyhq6","fervent-gngn","FerVent","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2sn5ezxy6z92b3mr0dpkvv.jpg?v=b0812d580e","LbSFLts.*0xupcaxVYj[uPfiQ,ay",2015,208,[126],{"id":127,"slug":128,"name":129},"01kx2sn5em0wq1vf9qjfknr39k","priscilla-shirer-zqdf","Priscilla Shirer",[131],{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":54,"complexity":7,"audience":57,"mood":134,"themes":135,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[115,60],[],{"id":137,"slug":138,"title":139,"description":140,"primary_cover_url":141,"cover_blurhash":142,"first_publish_year":9,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":143,"authors":144,"genres":152,"series":158,"enrichment":159},"01kx2hknpck99xtm4jzakhytfm","well-read-black-girl-qynk","Well-Read Black Girl","\"Remember that moment when you first encountered a character who seemed to be written just for you?

Compiled by his followers during his lifetime, the Book of Q (from Quelle, German for source) became the prime foundation for the New Testament gospels. Once lost, it has been reconstructed through a century of scholarship. In presenting his own translation, Burton Mack explains how the text of Q was determined and explores the implications of the discovery that Jesus was transformed into the dying and rising messianic savior of Christianity by the New Testament gospels.\" \"Instead of telling a dramatic story about Jesus' life as the Christian gospels do, the Book of Q contained only his sayings. The first followers of Jesus focused not upon his life and destiny, but on the social experiment called for by his teachings. Their book collected his proverbs, aphorisms, and parables to offer instruction in living authentically in the midst of a most confusing time.\" \"In The Lost Gospel, Burton Mack puts forth the first popular translation of Q as scholarly consensus has reconstructed it; shows that Jesus' life story as presented in the New Testament gospels was fictionalized for theological purposes; reveals Jesus to be a countercultural teacher and leader - subsequently mythologized into the Christ of the New Testament; depicts Jesus' followers not as Christians, but as disciples of a wise, antiestablishment teacher; they did not believe him to be the son of God, believe that he rose from the dead, or gather to worship in his name and concludes that Christianity is a mythologized religion (like Buddhism and other religions) rooted in a historical figure and teachings that in reality are quite remote from conventional beliefs.\"--Jacket.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2kvtc4rvmkepgyx0e012m9.jpg?v=e8bca37700","LKI2[%~8R7I=tP-TxDafEgnjNday",1993,"4.00",275,[219],{"id":220,"slug":221,"name":222},"01kx2kvtav2fh4xjp3f7kx2pf6","burton-l-mack-ndbt","Burton L.

We often think of doubt as the opposite of faith, but could it actually strengthen our relationship with God? According to John Ortberg, best-selling author and pastor, the very nature of faith requires the presence of uncertainty. In this refreshingly candid look at a life of faith, he traces the line between belief and unbelief: less a dividing line between hostile camps than a razor's edge that runs through every soul. His findings point us toward the relief of being totally honest. Questions can expand our understanding, uncertainty can lead to trust, and honest faith can produce outrageous hope. Written from Ortberg's own struggle with faith and doubt, this book will challenge, comfort, and inspire you with the truth that God wants all of us---including our doubts.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kwzra2ap4xebp6sb2j1mk1ph.jpg?v=00c9598b50","L16bikL}00tLujk@BtIV?_t%Dzt7",2008,"3.00",[248],{"id":249,"slug":250,"name":251},"01kpegsp9xh3d0k5z02d2zvc11","john-ortberg-z7lh","John Ortberg",[253,254],{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":19},{"id":255,"name":256,"slug":257,"is_fiction":19},97,"Spirituality","spirituality",[],{"pace":54,"complexity":7,"audience":57,"mood":260,"themes":261,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[60,115],[],{"id":263,"slug":264,"title":265,"description":7,"primary_cover_url":266,"cover_blurhash":267,"first_publish_year":268,"community_rating_avg":216,"community_rating_count":193,"page_count":269,"authors":270,"genres":275,"series":278,"enrichment":279},"01kx2hdzkyrb1c2em202v7bypz","the-best-american-essays-1995-jita","The Best American Essays 1995","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2hdzmezqtms6wy6pfsksed.jpg?v=31f88675d6","L3OzLv_2%e_1}ea$o|xtE1WUtPoy",1995,263,[271],{"id":272,"slug":273,"name":274},"01kjr13qm5qbwfnarygrv02xb1","jamaica-kincaid-9xuw","Jamaica Kincaid",[276,277],{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":19},{"id":154,"name":155,"slug":156,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":280,"complexity":7,"audience":57,"mood":281,"themes":282,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},"moderate",[236,60],[],{"id":284,"slug":285,"title":286,"description":287,"primary_cover_url":288,"cover_blurhash":289,"first_publish_year":290,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":291,"authors":292,"genres":301,"series":307,"enrichment":308},"01kx2e0tpdra19dbw4q07h0d0a","the-penny-q2ck","The Penny","Set in 1950, this novel follows fourteen-year-old Jenny as she navigates a childhood marked by severe physical and emotional abuse from her father.

A deft indictment of the marital ideal, as well as a celebration of the dissent that constitutes adultery, delivered in pointed daggers of prose” (The New Yorker). Who would dream of being against love? No one. Love is, as everyone knows, a mysterious and all-controlling force, with vast power over our thoughts and life decisions. But is there something a bit worrisome about all this uniformity of opinion? Is this the one subject about which no disagreement will be entertained, about which one truth alone is permissible? Consider that the most powerful organized religions produce the occasional heretic; every ideology has its apostates; even sacred cows find their butchers. Except for love. Hence the necessity for a polemic against it. A polemic is designed to be the prose equivalent of a small explosive device placed under your E-Z-Boy lounger. It won’t injure you (well not severely); it’s just supposed to shake things up and rattle a few convictions.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx24mzg8wfnnbds3jgb3r4k3.jpg?v=48cfb2aea4","L7P?{s=|u3*I-Ua1XlTI.RtlnOrr",[358],{"id":359,"slug":360,"name":361},"01kx24mzg14wnwr840tjk0bw10","laura-kipnis-qoft","Laura Kipnis",[363,364,368],{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":19},{"id":365,"name":366,"slug":367,"is_fiction":19},103,"Society","society",{"id":369,"name":370,"slug":371,"is_fiction":19},83,"Sociology","sociology",[],{"pace":280,"complexity":7,"audience":57,"mood":374,"themes":376,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[236,375],"satirical",[],{"id":68,"slug":69,"title":70,"description":71,"primary_cover_url":72,"cover_blurhash":73,"first_publish_year":74,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":75,"authors":378,"genres":380,"series":383,"enrichment":384},[379],{"id":78,"slug":79,"name":80},[381,382],{"id":83,"name":84,"slug":85,"is_fiction":19},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":54,"complexity":7,"audience":57,"mood":385,"themes":386,"setting_period":7,"summary":71,"content_warnings":7},[90,60],[],{"id":137,"slug":138,"title":139,"description":140,"primary_cover_url":141,"cover_blurhash":142,"first_publish_year":9,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":143,"authors":388,"genres":391,"series":394,"enrichment":395},[389,390],{"id":146,"slug":147,"name":148},{"id":150,"slug":151,"name":148},[392,393],{"id":154,"name":155,"slug":156,"is_fiction":18},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":54,"complexity":7,"audience":57,"mood":396,"themes":397,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[115,60],[],{"id":399,"slug":400,"title":401,"description":402,"primary_cover_url":403,"cover_blurhash":404,"first_publish_year":405,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":406,"authors":407,"genres":412,"series":418,"enrichment":419},"01kx2699c630x5n5cwwpzq5915","how-did-you-get-this-number-essays-ajak","How Did You Get this Number Essays","A brand-new book of hilarious and insightful personal essays by the iconic, irresistible Sloane Crosley. From the author of the sensational bestseller I Was Told There'd Be Cake comes a new book of personal essays brimming with all the charm and wit that have earned Sloane Crosley widespread acclaim, award nominations, and an ever-growing cadre of loyal fans. In Cake readers were introduced to the foibles of Crosley's life in New York City-always teetering between the glamour of Manhattan parties, the indignity of entry-level work, and the special joy of suburban nostalgia-and to a literary voice that mixed Dorothy Parker with David Sedaris and became something all its own. Crosley still lives and works in New York City, but she's no longer the newcomer for whom a trip beyond the Upper West Side is a big adventure. She can pack up her sensibility and takes us with her to Paris, to Portugal (having picked it by spinning a globe and putting down her finger, and finally falling in with a group of Portuguese clowns), and even to Alaska, where the \"bear bells\" on her fellow bridesmaids' ponytails seemed silly until a grizzly cub dramatically intrudes. Meanwhile, back in New York, where new apartments beckon and taxi rides go awry, her sense of the city has become more layered, her relationships with friends and family more complicated. As always, Crosley's voice is fueled by the perfect witticism, buoyant optimism, flair for drama, and easy charm in the face of minor suffering or potential drudgery. But in How Did You Get This Number it has also become increasingly sophisticated, quicker and sharper to the point, more complex and lasting in the emotions it explores. And yet, Crosley remains the unfailingly hilarious young Everywoman, healthily equipped with intelligence and poise to fend off any potential mundanity in maturity.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2699cn2hcq82s87dkyr84f.jpg?v=c04b44656e","L34.0aE2oyM{~Ut6M{WC?GbFkBRj",2010,281,[408],{"id":409,"slug":410,"name":411},"01kp6bp47w9safdqgdwwkjyevb","sloane-crosley-poem","Sloane Crosley",[413,417],{"id":414,"name":415,"slug":416,"is_fiction":18},119,"Humor","humor",{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":280,"complexity":7,"audience":57,"mood":420,"themes":423,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[421,422,60],"funny","lighthearted",[],[]]
