Book excerpt: The Crosses By: Katherine King During an emergency trip to a hardware store for supplies, Kathy finds a metal bucket full of crosses with a handwritten sign that read Free. Intrigued by the crosses and a personal opinion that nothing is truly free, she investigates. The story of the crosses inspires her to write this book. Over halfway into writing, Kathy learns that the tale she was first told is only a fraction of the truth behind the crosses and she struggles to accept anything different from what she had grown to love and think of as the real story. Besides, it would be too difficult to change the storys beginning now. What was she to do? Seek publication of a book based upon false information? As the real truth begins to unfold, reality takes Kathys disappointment down a surprising path that will test her faith and obedience to God as it awakens a revelation that the purpose for this book to be written was not about the person or the story behind the crosses, but about miracles that come from sacrifice, receiving and giving. The Crosses is based on a true beginning that changed and is still changing the lives of many in ways they could never imagine. It is a book filled with hope, inspiration, and faith. Kathy King

Download or read book A Thousand Sisters written by Lisa J Shannon and published by Seal Press. This book was released on 2010-04-06 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lisa J. Shannon had a good life—a successful business, a fiancé, a home, and security. Then, one day in 2005, an episode of Oprah changed all that. The show focused on women in Congo, the worst place on earth to be a woman. She was awakened to the atrocities there—millions dead, women raped and tortured daily, and children dying in shocking numbers. Shannon felt called to do something. And she did. A Thousand Sisters is her inspiring memoir. She raised money to sponsor Congolese women, beginning with one solo 30-mile run, and then founded a national organization, Run for Congo Women. The book chronicles her journey to the Congo to meet the women her run sponsored, and shares their incredible stories. What begins as grassroots activism forces Shannon to confront herself and her life, and learn lessons of survival, fear, gratitude, and immense love from the women of Africa.

Download or read book Are You Happy Now written by Barbara Berger and published by O-Books. This book was released on 2013-08-30 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is preventing you from being happy now? Is it your partner, your health, your job, your financial situation or your weight? Or is it all the things you think you “should” do? Barbara Berger takes a look at all the things we think and do that prevent us from living happy lives now. The book’s basic premise is that our thoughts determine our experience of reality—and understanding this is the key to living a happy life. This is a revolutionary way of looking at life because most people believe that outer conditions are the reason why they are unhappy. But if outer conditions are not the cause—what is? Berger presents 10 practical ways to use this understanding in your daily life, your relationships, at work and for your health. And she gives examples from her own dramatic life since leaving America at the young age of 18 in protest against the Vietnam War and settling in Scandinavia to her lifelong exploration of the power of mind and the nature of consciousness. ,
