Shattered, he closed off his heart to love and vowed to never forgive her. Josephine left him because an unexpected pregnancy was not a part of their plan. Lorenzo had made it clear he never wanted to have children, and she did not want to burden him with the child she vowed to keep. She left the only man she had ever loved. Years later, Lorenzo is contacted by Zoie, a cute and spunky twelve-year-old girl claiming he is her father. He is stunned to discover that her mother is none other than Josephine!

Zoie instantly captures his heart…and against his better judgment, Josephine captures his eye. As Lorenzo and Josephine learn to co-exist and co-parent, Zoie asks for one rule: her parents do not reconcile because she fears a breakup will lead to her losing the father she always yearns to know.

When they agreed to the rule, they were at war, and now that they have found peace, the passion they shared in the past has been sparked with even greater intensity, making them both tempted to break their one rule…

Download or read book Fierce Love written by Dr. Jacqui Lewis and published by Harmony. This book was released on 2021-11-09 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A healing antidote to our divisive culture, full of evocative storytelling, spiritual wisdom, and nine essential daily practices—by the first female, Black senior minister at the historic Collegiate Churches of New York “Fierce Love teaches us that with spiritual faith we can transcend the darkest moments and come through stronger.”—Gabrielle Bernstein, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Universe Has Your Back We are living in a world divided. Race and ethnicity, caste and color, gender and sexuality, class and education, religion and political party have all become demographic labels that reduce our differences to simplistic categories in which “we” are vehemently against “them.” But Rev. Dr. Jacqui Lewis’s own experience—of being the first female and first Black minister in her church’s history, of being in an interracial marriage, and of making peace with childhood abuse—illustrates that our human capacity for empathy and forgiveness is the key to reversing these ugly trends. Inspired by the tenets of ubuntu—the Zulu philosophy that we are each impacted by the circumstances that impact those around us, and that the world won’t get better until we all get better—Fierce Love lays out the nine daily practices for breaking through tribalism and engineering the change we seek. From downsizing our emotional baggage to speaking truth to power to fueling our activism with joy, it demonstrates the power of small, morally courageous steps to heal our own lives, our posse, and our larger communities. Sharing stories that trace her personal reckoning with racism as well as the arc of her journey to an inclusive and service-driven faith, Dr. Lewis shows that kindness, compassion, and inclusive thinking are muscles that can be exercised and strengthened. With the goal of mending our inextricable human connection, Fierce Love is a manifesto for all generations: a bighearted, healing antidote to our rancorous culture.

Download or read book Breaking Love s Rules written by Randy Hurlburt and published by . This book was released on 2019-03-23 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Has playing by the rules gotten you the love that you want? Read this: The Top 10 Reasons people can't find love... The Top 10 Reasons people get married anyway... The Top 10 Reasons relationships and marriages don't work... Relationship coach Randy Hurlburt's top ten lists establish a foundation for why "breaking the rules" is important in the search for good love. To begin with, internalized cultural rules can lure couples into the trap of a cookie-cutter relationship, doing what others expect of them or what they think their partner expects. This can result in boredom and/or disillusionment and/or emotional distance (have you experienced any of these things?). The antidote for boredom is, of course, excitement, and breaking the rules not only provides excitement in and of itself but can get the couple out of a rut and help them find a different form of relationship that is custom made for them. Doing this in part requires dealing with a fundamental conflict in relationships, namely the desire for connection vs. the desire for freedom. People want a partner but they don't want to be tied down. Finding a balance is the challenge - it can be a life-long adventure! Complicating relationships is the fact that that most people have a deep-seated fear that they won't be understood or accepted as they really are. As a result they hide important parts of themselves from their partner and this further causes emotional distance over time. Opening up this secret side (and frequently the secret sexual side) is another key to unlocking the potential of an extraordinary relationship. Randy brings all this together in chapter upon chapter of mind-blowing insight, synthesizing it in what he calls a "partners in love and crime" relationship. Each couple chooses the rules they want to break and those they want to keep, finding their unique balance between freedom and connection, and opening up their secret selves to each other. They design their own extraordinary relationship and unleash all the potential that they were on the verge of losing. Note: This book contains explicit sexual material. If you are offended by such material, please do not buy this book.

Download or read book Growing the Love in Cana of Galilee written by Dale Weatherford and published by David Weatherford. This book was released on 2024-03-26 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Growing the Love in Cana of Galilee” is the third book of “The New Way Series.” It is based on the first century manuscript “Acts of the Apostles” written by Luke. The first century was a turbulent time of history. Society was changing primarily because of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. In Book #1 of the series, “Looking Through the Eyes of a Child,” we met some of the characters, and in Book #2, “Hearing the Truth in Cana of Galilee,” we explored how the happenings in Jerusalem began to gradually impact the little village of Cana sixty-five miles to the north. In this book, “Growing the Love in Cana of Galilee,” these same characters grow to become more like Jesus in how and who they love. The New Way of living caused Orly and Gabriela’s love to grow and deepen. As they and their friends followed the New Way, they began to care deeply about those in slavery and treat them in a way that caused others to take notice. This love began to impact the local synagogue and introduced amazing changes. “Growing the Love in Cana of Galilee” explores the internal changes that these young adults experienced as they broke with the traditions of the past and embraced the New Way. Their treatment of slaves was not the only radical transformation. Watch as they learn to love not only people of other beliefs, but also a group who were their political enemies and ruling occupiers of their homeland. Visualize the new followers of Jesus learning to love others the way Jesus loved. There was no Bible to follow. Yet, step by tiny step the Holy Spirit was teaching them to grow in love. Watch as these same characters discover that following the New Way may take them on difficult paths in “Following the Way in Cana of Galilee,” Book #4 of “The New Way Series.”
