"Kai Cheng Thom grew up a Chinese Canadian transgender girl in a hostile world. As an activist, psychotherapist, conflict mediator, spiritual healer, and celebrated writer, she's always pursued the same deeply personal mission: to embrace the revolutionary belief that every human being, no matter how hateful or horrible, is intrinsically sacred. But then Kai Cheng found herself in a crisis of faith, overwhelmed by the viciousness with which people treated each other, and barely clinging on to the values and ideals she'd built her life around: justice, hope, love, and healing. Rather than succumb to despair and cynicism, she gathered all her rage and grief and took one last leap of faith. Kai Cheng began writing letters to everyone she has trouble holding in her heart-those seemingly beyond saving. She wrote to dead people, exes, prostitutes, johns, monsters, transphobes, and racists; to the fantasy man she still longs for, to the ones who hurt her, and to the ones who watched. In writing these love letters, Kai Cheng found herself not only rediscovering and deepening her faith in humanity, but falling back in love with being human."

"Classical rhetoric is the most powerful system of persuasion, perfected by the likes of Aristotle, Plato, and Socrates. While the discipline may not sound sexy, its timeless principles really work. Pure persuasion at its best, rhetoric has been long forgotten -- ignored in favor of manipulative tricks masquerading as influence. Getting Your Way Every Day will change that."

"Summary: Confronting and solving problems is a painful process which most of us attempt to avoid. Avoiding resolution results in greater pain and an inability to grow both mentally and spiritually. Drawing heavily on his own professional experience, Dr M. Scott Peck, a psychiatrist, suggests ways in which facing our difficulties - and suffering through the changes - can enable us to reach a higher level of self-understanding. He discusses the nature of loving relationships: how to distinguish dependency from love; how to become one's own person and how to be a more sensitive parent"

"Hukum Kasih dalah ajaran utama Kekristenan. Dengan Hukum Kasih maka umat Kristiani diajar untuk bersikap inklusi dan memperjuangkan hak-hak orang-orang yang tertindas. Sayangnya, ketika Hukum Kasih diperhadapkan pada pemenuhan hak spiritualitas transpuan, maka “hukum” tersebut kehilangan sisi inklusinya. Wacana tentang heteronormatif dalam Kekristenan menjadi kontra narasi atas nilai inklusi Hukum Kasih. Bahkan, dalam konteks ini, Kekristenan justru menjadi hambatan terbesar terhadap penerimaan pada ketubuhan dan seksualitas kelompok transpuan. Namun, benarkah heteronormatif telah final dalam wacana Kristen? Bagaimana para pendeta menjembatani kontradiksi yang ada dalam amanat pelayanan spiritualitas jemaat, termasuk transpuan? Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi pandangan dan pemahaman 6 (enam) pendeta sekutu Protestan mengenai Hukum Kasih guna membangun landasan pemaknaan atau peta tafsir alternatif yang memfasilitasi pemenuhan kebutuhan spritiualitas kelompok transpuan. Menggunakan pendekatan fenomenologi dengan perspektif feminis yang berpihak kepada kelompok transpuan, penelitian ini mewawancarai 2 (dua) pendeta perempuan cis-gender heteroseksual, 3 (tiga) pendeta laki-laki cis-gender heteroseksual dan seorang pendeta laki-laki non-heteroseksual yang memiliki keberpihakan terhadap kelompok minoritas seksual. Studi ini mengungkap tiga hal, yaitu upaya membangun kesadaran dan keberpihakan terhadap kelompok minoritas seksual, agensi pendeta sekutu dan makna pemberkatan perkawinan transpuan bagi pendeta sekutu. Upaya yang telah dilakukan dari studi ini menunjukkan: Pertama, sekadar pemaknaan akan “kasih” yang inklusi, ternyata tidak cukup dalam membangun kesadaran kritis dan keberpihakan, para pendeta sekutu membangunnya melalui refleksi kesadaran akan privilese, makna panggilan dan pengutusan gerejawi, adanya perjumpaan dengan kelompok minoritas seksual dan menyadari bahwa kelompok minoritas kebutuhan spiritualitas. Kedua, dalam upaya membangun agensi, para pendeta sekutu menggunakan identitas kependetaan mereka (paspor) sebagai strategi untuk membangun tafsir baru, mengubah wacana inklusi menjadi DNA gereja dan melakukan gerakan inklusif SOGIESC. Ketiga, dalam memaknai pemberkatan perkawinan transpuan, para pendeta masih dihadapkan pada ragam tafsir yang menjadi tantangan dalam pemenuhan kebutuhan spiritualitas kelompok tranpuan. Pada akhirnya, penguatan wacana teologi feminis dan SOGIESC pada para pendeta dan pengambil kebijakan di gereja menjadi suatu yang niscaya untuk pengejawantahan nilai Hukum Kasih yang sebenarnya.

The Law of Love is the main teaching of Christianity. With the Law of Love, Christians are taught to be inclusive and fight for the rights of oppressed people. Unfortunately, when the Law of Love is confronted with fulfilling the spiritual rights of transgender women, the "law" loses its inclusion. Discourse about heteronormative in Christianity becomes a counter narrative on the inclusion value of the Law of Love. In fact, in this context, Christianity is actually the biggest obstacle to acceptance of the body and sexuality of transgender groups. However, is it true that heteronormative is final in Christian discourse? How do pastors bridge the contradictions that exist in the mandate of the church's spiritual ministry, including transwomen? This study aims to explore the views and understanding of 6 (six) allied Protestant pastors regarding the Law of Love in order to build a basis for interpretation or an alternative interpretation map that facilitates the fulfillment of the spiritual needs of the transgender group. Using a phenomenological approach with a feminist perspective that favors transgender groups, this study interviewed 2 (two) heterosexual cis-gender female priests, 3 (three) heterosexual cis-gender male priests and one non-heterosexual male priest who has a bias against sexual minorities. This study reveals three things, namely efforts to build awareness and alignment with sexual minority groups, the agency of allied priests and the meaning of the blessing of transgender marriages for allied priests. The efforts that have been made from this study show: First, the mere meaning of "love" which is inclusive, turns out to be insufficient in building critical awareness and partiality, the allied pastors build it through reflection on awareness of privilege, the meaning of ecclesiastical vocation and mission, the existence of encounters with groups sexual minorities and realize that minority groups need spirituality. Second, in an effort to build agency, allied pastors use their clerical identity (passport) as a strategy to build new interpretations, change the discourse of inclusion into the DNA of the church and carry out the SOGIESC inclusive movement. Third, in interpreting the blessing of transgender marriages, priests are still faced with various interpretations which are a challenge in meeting the spiritual needs of transgender groups. In the end, the strengthening of feminist theological discourse and SOGIESC among pastors and policy makers in the church is necessary for the realization of the true value of the Law of Love."

"Most questionnaires are happy to be a bit of fun; this one sets out to be both entertaining and, more importantly, useful – offering us nothing less than a guide to the comforting and supportive relationships we long for.With online apps taking over the dating game, it has never been more crucial to know the rules.Through a series of pertinent questions, it reveals our distinctive style of loving, what our strengths and weaknesses are with partners and how we might secure genuine fulfillment going forward.As we work through the questionnaire and its accompanying essays, writing the answers in a notebook, we discover the many reasons why relationships go wrong – and how they might do so far less often in the future. The book considers the role of self-hatred, the influence of childhood, the importance of vulnerability, the appeal of unavailable people and the best way to overcome patterns of self-doubt and unhealthy attachment.Our minds are such confusing places, even the most thoughtful among us can fail to know central things about how we behave in relationships. This questionnaire will help us to understand ourselves more clearly – and so set us free to discover the love we deserve."
