Download or read book In Capable Arms written by Sarah Kovac and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2013-09-17 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sarah Kovac was born with Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita (AMC), a rare congenital birth defect that left her with arms that she could barely use. Growing up, she was the only one in her class with a disability, setting her apart as “different” and unpopular. Realizing her unique place in the world, Sarah began adapting, working to her strengths, and eventually learned to use her feet to do such activities as changing her son's diapers, making dinner, putting on makeup, and even typing on the computer--even as she grew in spiritual and emotional maturity and independence in exceptional ways. Picked up by national news network CNN, Sarah’s story went viral and she was suddenly presented with a platform from which to share her love for God. In Capable Arms brings readers on Sarah’s journey, crying with her through intense frustration and the desire to be perfect, cheering her through physical training and pain, and admiring her eventual spiritual surrender as she let go of her insecurities and let God use her . . . even her crippled arms. Sarah brings readers face to face with their own struggles, challenges them with questions about self-worth and fear, then offers guidance, wisdom, and inspiration for finding hope—and healing—in the arms of the One who loves them no matter what.
Download or read book Do You Have Alligator Arms written by James W. Moore and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Popular author James W. Moore draws on an old football term to explore the ways people let their fear stand in the way of living life and loving God to the fullest. The term "alligator arms" refers to a would-be pass receiver who fails to stretch out full length to catch the ball, because he fears an impending tackle; he's more interested in protecting himself from the hard hit than catching the ball. This fearful attitude results in fumbled passes, in other words, lots of failure and frustration. "Having alligator arms" is an ideal analogy for fearfully holding back rather than living life fully. In Do You Have Alligator Arms?, Moore explores what it means to let go of fear and purposefully embrace life, commitment, faith, hope, love, God, and others.

Download or read book The Scandinavian Home written by Niki Brantmark and published by CICO Books. This book was released on 2017-04-18 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover classic and contemporary Scandinavian style with specially commissioned photography of homes in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland. Discover classic and contemporary Scandinavian style with specially commissioned photography of homes in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland. Scandinavia is famous for its distinctive style: homes are pared-back and simple, and form and function are combined to create aesthetically pleasing and practical interiors. Scandinavians are inspired by light, having an abundance of it in summer but so little of it in winter, and house designs tend to maximize the amount of natural light that enters the home, and allow the inhabitants to make the most of outdoor life during the summer. Similarly, nature and the weather are major influences: homes are made warm and cozy for the freezing winter months—not just literally with log burners, but also through incorporating wood and natural materials. Here Niki Brantmark, owner of the interior design blog My Scandinavian Home, presents a wide-ranging collection of these beautiful homes and explores how the Scandinavian lifestyle is reflected in them all. The first chapter, Urban Living, features styles ranging from minimalist to bohemian, and pale palettes to dramatic dark colors. By contrast, the Country Homes tend to have a softer, calmer feel, through color and textiles, in line with a slower pace of life. Finally, the spectacular Rural Retreats include a mountain cabin, beach house, and rustic summer cottage, and demonstrate how having somewhere to escape to is so important to many Scandinavians. This collection of stunning interiors will put Scandi style within every reader’s reach.

Enduring years of emotional and sexual abuse at the hands of her adoptive American father, LeChristine ultimately refuses to be a victim and transforms her life. She takes charge of her own life and becomes a successful business woman, only to discover that she still must confront the pain of abandonment in order to find true peace. When LeChristine Hai's soul search leads her to a reunion with her lost and found Vietnamese mother and sister, she comes full circle and learns how to heal the personal wars within. As she embraces her authentic self, she also opens her heart and life to reveal the healing power of love and courage.

Download or read book No Arms No Legs No Problem written by Bob Lujano and published by Write with Grace. This book was released on 2014-12-24 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Former Paralympian did the Unthinkable A man cannot choose to be born; he can however, choose to live. After he was abusively raised by the belt, abandoned by his mom, and then struck with a strain of meningitis that required all four limbs to be amputated, nine year old Bob Lujano faced an incredible decision. In a coma clinging to life, Lujano, wrapped like a mummy, sat up. A visitor stood at the end of his bed and gave him the choice to live or go to heaven. To give up and choose heaven would be the easy way out and no-one would blame him. To choose life meant living physically as a quad amputee and emotionally with the scars of rejection, abandonment, and abuse. Others would quite. He kept going. Staring ahead like a zombie, Lujano gave an unthinkable answer: "I don't care what state my body is in. I want to live. I have things to do." His decision was granted. From that day on, he fought and pushed his way into "normal" schools and activities to live a substantive life of independence like everyone else. The National Enquirer called him a "gutsy kid...[who] beats the odds." Larry King said Lujano and his Murderball teammates and co-stars were "inspirational" because they wouldn't trade their disability. Today, Bob does not consider himself to be disabled because he chooses life. Physically, he is able to live, work, drive, date, and cook just like the rest of us; independent without caretakers. Emotionally, he concentrates on gratitude and all the good that life has to offer. This broken family is restored; a legacy of abuse is redeemed to a legacy of championing and protection. In an age where image is everything and people are discounted for the way they look, Lujano crashes stereotypes and demands the reader to live their life with everything they've got: perseverance, love, forgiveness, joy, and peace. This is no woe-is-me story; Lujano chooses gratitude in the fact that he gets to live and he encourages others to do the same. No Arms, No Legs, No Problem is the inspirational memoir of a quad amputee living life on his own terms.
