� begitu menyiksa, menggeretakkan tulang-tulang ketabahan.


Karang Asam, Samarinda, Bumi Etam.
Dua tahun telah berlalu, sejak Dahlan meninggalkan Kebon Dalem. Sayangnya, merantau dan menjadi mahasiswa tidak semudah yang dibayangkan. Perkuliahan berlangsung melenceng jauh dari rencana awal, sementara kerinduan terhadap kampung halaman dan orang-orang terkasih selalu menyesakkan dadanya. Belum lagi Dahlan harus dihadapkan pada pilihan yang sulit antara janji temu dengan cinta pertama, lamaran sahabat baiknya, dan cinta baru yang dia temukan di tempat rantauan.

Dahlan muda yang penuh semangat juang berusaha untuk tidak mengalah pada rindu. Kepeduliannya terhadap negeri yang kacau balau kala itu, membuatnya memutuskan untuk mengabdi pada masa depan bangsa melalui gerakan-gerakan kemahasiswaan. Dianggap memberontak, Dahlan dan rekan-rekan mahasiwanya menjadi buronan pemerintah. Dia harus berlari dan bersembunyi dari kejaran tentara. Di tengah pelariannya, takdir mempertemukannya dengan Sayid, seorang guru sekaligus sahabat, yang mengenalkan Dahlan pada media dan memberikannya kesempatan untuk membuka lembaran baru dalam hidupnya.]]> 378 Khrisna Pabichara 6027816252 Yonathan 0 currently-reading 3.90 2013

Apparently, the happiest places on earth include, somewhat unexpectedly, Iceland, Bhutan, and India. Weiner also visits the country deemed most malcontent, Moldova, and finds real merit in the claim.

But the question remains: What makes people happy? Is it the freedom of the West or the myriad restrictions of Singapore? The simple ashrams of India or the glittering shopping malls of Qatar?
From the youthful drunkenness of Iceland to the despond of Slough, a sad but resilient town in Heathrow's flight path, Weiner offers wry yet profound observations about the way people relate to circumstance and fate.

Both revealing and inspirational, perhaps the best thing about this hilarious trip across four continents is that for the reader, the "geography of bliss" is wherever they happen to find themselves while reading it.]]> 335 Eric Weiner 0446580260 Yonathan 0 currently-reading 3.84 2008

In Words That Work , Luntz offers a behind-the-scenes look at how the tactical use of words and phrases affects what we buy, who we vote for, and even what we believe in. With chapters like "The Ten Rules of Successful Communication" and "The 21 Words and Phrases for the 21st Century," he examines how choosing the right words is essential.

Nobody is in a better position to explain than Frank He has used his knowledge of words to help more than two dozen Fortune 500 companies grow. Hell tell us why Rupert Murdoch's six-billion-dollar decision to buy DirectTV was smart because satellite was more cutting edge than "digital cable," and why pharmaceutical companies transitioned their message from "treatment" to "prevention" and "wellness."

If you ever wanted to learn how to talk your way out of a traffic ticket or talk your way into a raise, this book's for you.]]> 350 Frank Luntz 1401302599 Yonathan 5 3.61 2006

The last thing singles want is more rules. But if you’re looking for an intentional, God-pleasing game plan for finding a future spouse, Joshua Harris delivers an appealing one. A compelling new foreword, an all-new �8 Great Courtship Conversations� section, and updated material throughout makes this five-year revision of the original Boy Meets Girl a must-have! Harris illustrates how biblical courtship—a healthy, joyous alternative to recreational dating—worked for him and his wife. Boy Meets Girl presents an inspiring, practical example for readers wanting to pursue the possibility of marriage with someone they may be serious about.

Are you ready for “romance with purpose�?

If you’re fed up with self-centered relationships that end in disillusionment, it’s time to rethink romance. Finding the loving, committed relationship you want shouldn’t mean throwing away your hopes, your integrity, or your heart.

In Boy Meets Girl , Joshua Harris —the guy who kissed dating goodbye—makes the case for courtship. As old-fashioned as it might sound, courtship is what modern day relationships desperately need. Think of it as romance chaperoned by wisdom, cared for by community, and directed by God’s Word.

Filled with inspiring stories from men and women who have rediscovered courtship, Boy Meets Girl is honest, romantic, and refreshingly biblical. Keep God at the center of your relationship as you discover how

   • Set a clear course for your romance
   • Get closer without compromise
   • Find support in a caring community
   • Deal with past sexual sin
   • Make the right decisions about your future

New! Courtship Conversations
Eight ideas for great dates that will help grow and guide your relationship.

Story Behind the Book

“I wrote I Kissed Dating Goodbye to challenge singles to drop the worldly approach to serial dating and reconsider the way they pursued romance in light of God’s Word. Since then, I’ve received letters asking questions like, So, what comes between friendship and marriage? and, How can you know when you are ready for marriage? Boy Meets Girl answers those questions. Now as a happily married man I can look back on my courtship with Shannon and see from personal experience that God is faithful. If you trust Him enough to wait on romance in dating, He will lovingly guide you as you pursue it in courtship…right to that wonderful moment when you kneel together at the altar.� � Joshua Harris]]> 227 Joshua Harris 1590521676 Yonathan 5 3.72 2000

]]> 13614912 Batinku meraung-raung meratapi ketidakberdayaan.
Kami bukan orang asing bagi rasa lapar...
Mata berkunang-kunang, keringat bercucuran, lutut gemetaran, telinga mendenging-denging...
Sungguh, aku butuh tidur, sejenak pun bolehlah.
Tetapi, aku tahu tidak akan bisa tertidur dengan mudah.

Kehidupan mendidik Dahlan kecil dengan keras. Baginya, rasa perih karena lapar adalah sahabat baik yang enggan pergi. Luka di kakinya menjadi bukti perjuangan dalam menjalani hidup. Dia harus berjalan puluhan kilometer untuk bersekolah tanpa alas kaki. Sepulang sekolah banyak pekerjaan yang harus dilakoninya demi sesuap tiwul, mulai dari nguli nyeset, nguli nandur sampai melatih tim voli anak-anak juragan tebu.

Dan di usia mudanya, Dahlan sudah banyak merasakan kehilangan. Buku catatan hariannya pun dipenuhi curahan kegalauan hati yang selalu dia alami. Setiap kali terpuruk seringkali dia berkata pada dirinya sendiri, hidup, bagi orang miskin sepertiku, harus dijalani apa adanya. Didikan keras sang Ayah dan kakak-kakak tercintanya serta senyum sang Ibu, selalu bisa membuatnya bertahan dan terus berjuang dalam hidup. Selain itu, di atas segala luka dan kesedihan yang dialaminya dia punya dua cita-cita besar yang membuatnya semakin bekerja keras: sepatu dan sepeda.]]> 392 Khrisna Pabichara 6029498240 Yonathan 4 3.95 2012
