![]() ![]() Look at where he speaks on his speaking tours.and you will understand, Osteen has been given a Gift from God to speak to those who would normally turn a blind eye to the word of Christ. It may be hard to believe for those living in devoutly religious communities, but there are many places in this country where strings of biblical quotes and fire and brimstone logic will only win a door slammed in your face. In order to spend time with the "sick," Osteen needs for them to open their doors and invite him in. ![]() Those who want to insert Christ more forcefully into his message should remember that Christ, when asked why he dined with sinners and tax collectors answered that a doctor does not spend his time with the healthy but with the sick. But I am willing to bet the farm that Osteen is NOT aiming at that constituency. Osteen may not have "enough bible" for hard core fire and brimstone Christians, true. ![]()

It was such a creative, distinctly original concept and contributed greatly to my new found love for this series. This turned out to not really matter as my post reading research has turned up with stuff that would have utterly confused me if I had known prior to starting. The overall concept for this book revolves around harpies, which in all my Mythological knowledge, I lacked any understanding of.

I decided to explore the data to determine what reviewers deemed a "goodread."Īccording to data provided by Quantcast: Most Goodreads users are women, and the largest reader block falls between the ages of 25–34.Īs of September 2017, the highest rated and reviewed genre was High Fantasy. The dataset was found on Kaggle and cleaned using a bit of web scraping. Analyzing data from 10,000 book titles listed on, an online book review and recommendation platform, an analysis was completed to see a few of the characteristics that make a bestseller. The desire to create an indelible project that pays and stays is the desire of most creatives however, writers have the advantage of being able to pull data that is more quantitive. Writers are everywhere, and after the blitzkrieg of magic in 1998 known as Harry Potter every writer from novice to expert sees the potential impact of the craft, both financial and social. ![]() ![]() ![]() If effortless and injury-free were too idealistic, we were willing to settle for the premise on instructor Mary Lindahl's shirt: "Love running forever." Lindahl, who has been a Chi practitioner since 2004, was assisted by Ed Cotgageorge, who took a 12-year break from running due to nagging injuries before finding Chi. We were drawn by the promise offered in the very title of the movement's bible, ChiRunning: A Revolutionary Approach to Effortless, Injury-Free Running, by Danny and Katherine Dreyer. ![]() ![]() I gathered with this hobbled but hopeful group for a daylong seminar on Chi Running. I usually crossed the finish line, but some part of me-feet, hips, or back-suffered excessively for it. For the past four years, my training had become a delicate dance of getting in enough miles to complete a marathon or half-marathon but not enough miles to end up hurt.

Since this book is no longer in print, I’m reflecting on why this specific story was one of my favorites. ![]() I could share about other imagery that I think is dangerous, but that is a blog for another day. I am glad our world is paying close attention to the imagery presented to children. This book can help you understand my upbringing in comparison to someone growing up in a more diverse setting. If you have not yet read, “ White Fragility”, I recommend it. It was not until I was an adult and a part of the educational system that I began to see the world from the perspectives of others.

And to think that I never saw the racist imagery makes me sad. ![]() Marco describes a man as “Chinese” and the illustration of this man has two lines for his eyes. Therefore, I was curious about what racist imagery existed in the book and went online to find out. The book, “And to Think That I Saw it on Mulberry Street”, was one of my favorite books as a child. Of the six books, one caught my attention. Seuss Enterprises retired six books based on racist imagery. ![]() Recently there have been a lot of discussions after Dr. Marco was not the only one and Mulberry Street was not the only place.
