Book excerpt: "I just want you to know that God can change absolutely anything." It was a simple statement, but it changed her life. In this stunningly transparent memoir, Nanette Larson shares her journey from a life of constant hopelessness and despair, deep depression, crippling anxiety, and suicidality to one full of victorious hope and purpose. After years of receiving unsuccessful treatments--therapy, medication, hospitalization, and more--for her mental and physical illnesses, Nanette finally found wholeness in the person of Jesus Christ. Realizing that she had allowed the labels that had been pasted upon her by medical professionals and society alike to define who she was, Nanette changed her perspective by seeing herself through the eyes of her Maker. She was not "sick in the head"; she had an illness, and God was healing her. Taking control of her thoughts was only the first step of a winding road to wellness, however. As a mental health professional herself, Nanette now shares with her readers the techniques that helped her address every part of her being--spirit, soul, and body. From distressed patient to nationally recognized deputy director and ambassador of Wellness & Recovery Services for the Illinois Division of Mental Health, Nanette is living proof that full recovery from mental health issues is, indeed, possible, and a successful, happy, healthy life can be found on the other side of the struggle. "More than a memoir, From Shattered to Restored is both manual and miracle. For anyone struggling with mental illness, Larson offers hope and solid help, wrapped in her own vulnerable story. An excellent tool for churches, small groups, and recovery support groups." --Jane Rubietta, Speaker, coach, and author of twenty books, including Worry Less So You Can Live More

Download or read book Restoring the Shattered written by Nancy E. Head and published by Morgan James Publishing. This book was released on 2018-10-02 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written in an easy-to-understand, conversational style, Restoring the Shattered is an account of Nancy E. Head’s journey through single-motherhood and poverty. The permanent divide between her and her husband led to a shattering of their family as the children settled into separate camps. The story begins when Nancy and her children have little to eat. Through a miraculous intervention, God provides—and leads them along their way. Other interventions and more guidance came from people of different denominations, illustrating Christ’s love through the larger Church. When one of Nancy’s grown children became Catholic, she became more aware of the ways her own evangelical tradition often dismisses Catholic believers and misinterprets many of their doctrines. While doctrines may differ, so many essential beliefs are the same. Restoring the Shattered looks at the causes of the Reformation and other schisms, and how the original schism in Christianity happened because of a mistranslation. Misunderstanding others’ faith languages feeds so much separation today. Nancy encourages pursuing accord among evangelical, Catholic, and Christian Orthodox communities in order to lead the Church to the kind of ministry that helped Nancy’s family so much and rebuild the ruins of society through obedience to Christ’s call for Christian accord.

Download or read book Broken to Restore written by Débora Felinger and published by . This book was released on 2020-06-25 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Broken to Restore" is a book designed for anyone: men, women, adults, young people, teenagers and the elderly. In life we go through many stages, but we come to certain moments that we particularly feel we broke; we feel completely broken. That's when we need to understand that we're still vessels in the hands of the potter par excellence and being there we're restored. This process is allowed in your life to be perfected, but above all so that you can help restore those around you. This is like pearls; these are formed in a very particular way. Pearl is the product of pain, the result of the entry of a foreign or undesirable substance into the oyster, such as a parasite or a grain of sand. The inside of an oyster shell contains a lustrous substance called mother-of-pearl. When a grain of sand penetrates, mother-of-pearl cells begin to work and cover the grain of sand with layers and more layers to protect the helpless body of the oyster. As a result, the cute pearl is formed. An oyster that has not been injured, in some way, does not produce pearls, because the pearl is a scared wound. You and I cannot avoid being hurt in some way, but we can choose what to do with those wounds. My desire is that you turn each wound into something as valuable as a pearl... or even more. As you progress through this book you will understand four points that God taught me strongly away from my country, and therefore away from my comfort zone, and that will help you whether you are a recent Christian, a veteran or you are not.

Book excerpt: A jewel is considered to be a prized, valuable, expensive, and worthy possession. When owned, they are kept in a safe place if they aren't worn. When worn, they are admirable and receive much praise. Each jewel comes with a story. From a wedding ring, jewels passed down through generations, to jewels received on a special occasion. They each tell their very own story that is different from other jewels. God sees your heart as precious, valuable, and worthy jewels that He holds in His hands. In His eyes, each heart sparkles bright and He desires for all of us to see the sparkle as well. Each heart has a story that is different from others. However, those stories can relate to others, but even with similarities, your story is very personal and unique to you. It is the journey of life you have endured and walked through to get to where you are today. And it continues to tell a story each day you live until you meet with God face-to-face. However, there are parts of our hearts that have been shattered and wounded so deeply by experiences that we have or are currently walking through. God, being the Craftsman of our hearts, desires to take each shattered piece and mend them back together through restoration, to be the bright shining jewel He has created it to be. Walk with me these next five weeks as God takes you through the process of restoration as I highlight my own journey of being restored from a "once shattered jewel."
