Book excerpt: This is a message for those who are broken, for those who have lost hope, and those who are trying to find their way. In the pages of this book, you will see a mirrored reflection and an instant replay of a not-so-favorite movie entitled "YOU!" As you begin to read through the pages, you'll find that there is someone else like you: someone who has been broken, whose life had been torn apart, whose heart was unable to forgive. A person who had not been able to truly love, not even herself, because of the hurt, bitterness, and anger that comes from a broken life. If you are marred by the situations of your past, if your circumstances have you so confused that you don't know which way to turn, if your heart has been broken and you can't seem to mend it, then you are not alone. I was that person who felt like all hope was gone. I felt like no one cared if I lived or died. My emotions were all over the place at times because all I really wanted was someone who would love me. After years of searching, I was introduced to Jesus, and the broken pieces were mended back together. Truly, my life has taken on a new beginning. God gave me a new day just when I thought it was all over, that all hope was gone. I saw myself as a broken glass, shattered, spread out into tiny pieces, I began to pray, to cry out to God to let it all be over: "I can't take it any more Lord. It's so hard. It's too much to bear," as I sobbed tearfully, asking God to take the pain away, to take me away! It was at that time that God let me know it wasn't time for departure, but it was time for restoration. God stepped in. He took those broken, shattered pieces of my life, put them back together, and restored purpose to my life.

Book excerpt: This is the plight of one womans struggles in an unfair fight to move from brokenness to restoration and to break free from Satans trap of darkness and move into the Lords marvelous light. Darkness is a reality and a broken life is real; many people refuse to believe that brokenness could happen to them because it carries the label of dysfunction. Satan rules the darkness and everything thats attached to it, including your denial and brokenness. The longer it takes for you to admit where you are, and that you need help, the longer it will take for the Lord to rescue you. Be true to yourself, even if you are not true to anyone else. If you find yourself in a dark place, you are being driven by Satan; if you dont take immediate action, he will lure you deeper and deeper into his pit, where all entries are locked and you no longer have the freedom to walk out. Satan has his way in darkness; he slaps you around and gives you ridiculous orders. Even though you realize that, by carrying them out, you will hurt yourself and others, you carry them out anyway with perfection. This book offers spiritual insight and solutions to breaking free from a self-inflicted past that captured your attention and gave Satan the opportunity to attack you like a lion attacks his prey.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: She was raised to keep family secrets. Although it was not a direct command, she knew it was an indirect expectation. She knew what happened in the house, and their lives stayed there, and no one outside could know. Her family was the best to the outside world, but they who lived in the house knew differently. That cycle continued until Trina San was grown and raising her own family.She experienced many challenges in my life, and at times, wanted to quit on herself. Her earliest memory of witnessing domestic violence between her parents shattered her childhood innocence, and those broken pieces stayed broken throughout most of her life. From learning of her mom's diagnosis as being mentally unstable to the teasing about her weight in school to the attempted rape, the promiscuity, and teen pregnancy; to the failed men, the failed marriage, and the lack of self-worth - there was never an end in sight to mending her broken pieces.Trina's knees should have been bloody because she often cried out to God to stop her pain. She wanted her life to be easy, but it wasn't for so many years. The infidelities, lies, fear, doubts, insecurities, and divorce kept shattering the already broken pieces. She finally realized that through all those troublesome times, God was with her even when she did not know it. An incredible story of restoration, Author Trina San's story, Mending My Broken Pieces, will have you sitting on the edge of your seat from the very first page wondering; will the cycle of brokenness ever end?
Download or read book All Who Are Weary written by Emmy Kegler and published by Broadleaf Books. This book was released on 2021-11-09 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in an age uniquely attentive to the problem of mental illness. More than half of us will be diagnosed with a mental illness or disorder at some point in our lifetime. It has been easy, for centuries, to relegate persistent emotional and mental struggles entirely to the realm of a failed personal work ethic ("Just don't worry so much!"), not enough faith ("Just pray harder!"), or, in recent years, a chemical imbalance in our brains ("Just take this pill!"). Yet, for those of us who live with mental illness, none of these suggestions provides the quick relief it promises, and the continued struggle takes its toll on our already burdened hearts and minds. In All Who Are Weary, Emmy Kegler joins the reader on the long walk of reflection, understanding, and compassion, calling followers of Jesus back to ancient practices of lament, vulnerability, honesty, community, and hope. This book is not a map to a cure, nor a perfectly restorative prayer. Written with a wide community in mind--patients, but also parents and partners, coworkers and friends, pastors and therapists, and the whole church--All Who Are Weary points to the embodied grace known in Jesus, trusting in the promise of a lighter load for all.
