- And Other Life Changing Discoveries Made on My Journey of Grief
183,95 kr. After the death of a loved one... ...how do you laugh again? ...how do you love again? ...how do you live life again? ...how do you navigate the journey of grief? ...how do you reclaim the dreams you once had? Before the death of a loved one... ...how do you prepare? ...how do you help others going through grief? You start by picking up this book. Why? Am I an expert in all things grief and grieving? Hardly - far from it. Sure, I'm a Bachelor's Degree prepared nurse practicing in pediatric oncology - caring for cancer kids - who has had the privilege of helping more than one family through the grieving process. But more than that, I am a father who held his young son as he took his last breath. Little did I know that that last breath would usher in my first step on my personal journey of grief, a journey that continues today. Perhaps you are undertaking that journey right now, even as you read these sentences. Perhaps you know someone who is on this journey. Or maybe you have not yet experienced grief, and are reading this text simply because you are curious why some guy would actually encourage you to yell at God. No matter where you stand in relation to grief, I invite you to stop standing and start walking - take that first step with me. In this book you will be given a front-row seat, a raw and intimate look into the thoughts, feelings, pains and joys of a father and mother as they live out a ten-day span that begins with an innocent late summer walk and ends with a son's dying breath. You will see in action what one of our son's doctors described as "faith, hope and love" that "affected doctors, nurses and secretaries in a profound way." It is a story of hope and encouragement in the midst of darkness and despair. Interspersed throughout this story will be various lessons that I have learned along my now decade-long journey. These lessons will discuss powerful topics including dreams, forgiveness, miracles, and questioning God. I even give you permission to laugh at me along the way, as you might find humorous stories from my childhood illustrating these lessons (you'll be in awe of the time I came up with the world's most ingenious plan to find out if a fifth-grade crush liked me back). Be ready to cry. Be ready to laugh. This book is not a 10- or 20-step grief recovery plan. I will not tell you how to "get over" your loved one or how to "get past" the grief. Instead I am passionate about showing you how to embrace your grief, and more importantly how to embrace life again after someone you loved dearly no longer shares that life with you. So will you come with me? Don't worry - I brought the Kleenex.

118,95 kr. WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ABOUT ETC. GUY: "Eric Miller's stories have more than once made me spit coffee from my nose from laughing. His humor ranges from subtle and self-effacing, to ribald. He writes what many of us think but don't dare say." -Jeffrey Bergeron/Biff America, author of Steep, Deep and Dyslexic and columnist for Backcountry Magazine and the Summit Daily News "Eric Miller's parental observations are amusing and provocative. He stumbles through his role as a husband and father to two teenage daughters, but manages to press on." -Marne Larsen, Editor, Growing Up Chico Magazine "Eric Miller is an aging athlete that has more luck figuring out what's happening on a hockey rink than in the minds of his wife and teenage daughters." -Q. Bryce Randle, Editor, Hockey Player Magazine "Eric Miller, former North State Voices columnist and Etc. Guy blogger, has the knack of observing daily, mundane, events and spinning them into amusing stories. He can be edgy, but most guys are." -David Little, Editor, Chico Enterprise-Record Visit www.etcguy.com for more information

193,95 kr. Awareness and perception are not the same thing. As for perspective, what seems to be happening may be something altogether different in time's passage. It would be handy to have a wise and respected mentor, because youth on its own has a distinct disadvantage sorting events. But for Jamie that is unlikely. With or without developing some degree of wisdom, it takes luck, energy, curiosity and threads of invisible connections to fill in the gaps of bad judgement.

158,95 kr. About the BookThis book is about a hard-partying Oklahoma, USA tennis family that went from Atheism to Christianity. This book is about how much I love Rock 'n' Roll music and comedy. I did my best trying to get all the dates and facts correct, but they're not perfect. Here is a sociological fact: if one parent is chemically dependent, their children have a fifty percent chance of being chemically dependent. If both parents are chemically dependent, their children have a 75 percent chance of being chemically dependent. The Miller family nailed it. Both parents were chemically dependent. Three out of four of their children were chemically dependent. The Miller family's life is part tragedy and part comedy. Please laugh as hard as you want. Drug abuse is a nightmare. I am not glamorizing drug use in my book. Warning! I have severe ADHD. I've been in special Ed classes my whole life. I've never passed an English class in my life. I'm not a writer, I did my best. I hope you enjoy the Miller family true story. About the AuthorHello warriors. My name is Eric Miller.

- Political Hopes, Spiritual Longing
288,95 kr. Description:In Glimpses of Another Land, Eric Miller takes the reader across the American landscape in quest of insight into our times. For those facing challenges and choices from all sides, Miller offers not analysis so much as reorientation--the kind of sharpened vision that redirects movement. An age featuring 9/11 as its defining moment surely requires probing reflection and judgment. Here Eric Miller, with an alert eye and keen voice, provides both.Endorsements:""Eric Miller is one of the most thoughtful and graceful writers today--a combination of intelligence, humility, and faithful insight. I try to read everything he writes. What a gift to have so many of his essays collected in one place!"" --Mark Galli, senior managing editor of Christianity Today""Whether he writes about the Amish, popular Christian music, or the Pittsburgh Steelers, Eric Miller''s prose sings with grace, passion, wit, Pennsylvania patriotism, and, suffusing it all, a sense of hope. His is an America of neighbors, faith, and peace, not vacuous pop culture and political cant. In the tradition of Christopher Lasch and Wendell Berry, Eric Miller illumines for us a way back home.""--Bill Kauffman, author of Ain''t My America""It''s fitting that Eric Miller begins this book by talking about hope and longing. Grounded in a specific time and place, clear-eyed about our troubles, these essays offer bright glimpses of another land.""--John Wilson, editor of Books & Culture""Eric Miller is quickly becoming one of the best evangelical cultural critics at work among us today. Always timely, never trendy, usually salty, never cynical, his essays have a winsome way of delighting us in the good, drawing us out of ourselves in longing for a better, more humane and divine mode of living in the world . . . May his tribe increase and find a way of loving the rest of us in. May they help us keep our hope alive.""--Douglas A. Sweeney, author of The American Evangelical Story""These essays invite a new generation to appreciate an older legacy of post-partisan political hope. Here is a voice that echoes with Burke, Chesterton, Berry, and above all, Christopher Lasch. Miller''s pointed insights and intimate prose are invitations to both reflection and delight.""--James K. A. Smith, author of The Devil Reads Derrida""Eric Miller is my favorite Christian cultural critic. I have been absorbing his writings for over a decade, and they never fail to inspire me with hope for something better, something real. If you haven''t read him, you must. These essays will challenge you to think differently about what it means to be a human being in this world."" --John Fea, author of The Way of Improvement Leads HomeAbout the Contributor(s):Eric Miller is Professor of American History at Geneva College in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania. He is the author of Hope in a Scattering Time: A Life of Christopher Lasch (2010) and coeditor of Confessing History: Explorations in Christian Faith and the Historian''s Vocation (2010).
