Download or read book God Gave Me Some Bad Advice written by Byron Harmon and published by Agate Publishing. This book was released on 2009-03-01 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Too often, the stories of many men of color's lives today are full of waste, violence, struggle, and self-destruction. But there are many men who grow up in challenging circumstances, with all odds against them, and still find success. God Gave Me Some Bad Advice tells of one such success story. Byron Harmon is still a young man, not yet 40. His story is a powerful and compelling example of how many of the traditional verities of American life--God, family, country--provide touchstones that can bolster every individual growing up in this country. Today the executive producer of the nation's largest local morning news show on WCBS in New York, and the author of three novels, Byron Harmon looks back to tell his story with warmth, generosity, humor, and grace. God Gave Me Some Bad Advice is a touching coming-of-age story and a breakthrough addition to this rising writer's body of work.

Download or read book The Voices We Carry written by J. S. Park and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2020-05-05 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reclaim Your Headspace and Find Your One True Voice As a hospital chaplain, J.S. Park encountered hundreds of patients at the edge of life and death, listening as they urgently shared their stories, confessions, and final words. J.S. began to identify patterns in his patients’ lives—patterns he also saw in his own life. He began to see that the events and traumas we experience throughout life become deafening voices that remain within us, even when the events are far in the past. He was surprised to find that in hearing the voices of his patients, he began to identify his own voices and all the ways they could both harm and heal. In The Voices We Carry, J.S. draws from his experiences as a hospital chaplain to present the Voices Model. This model explores the four internal voices of self-doubt, pride, people-pleasing, and judgment, and the four external voices of trauma, guilt, grief, and family dynamics. He also draws from his Asian-American upbringing to examine the challenges of identity and feeling “other.” J.S. outlines how to wrestle with our voices, and even befriend them, how to find our authentic voice in a world of mixed messages, and how to empower those who are voiceless. Filled with evidence-based research, spiritual and psychological insights, and stories of patient encounters, The Voices We Carry is an inspiring memoir of unexpected growth, humor, and what matters most. For those wading through a world of clamor and noise, this is a guide to find your clear, steady voice.

Download or read book Lives and Legacies written by Cheryl Rhodes and published by Fulton Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-09-10 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This list of matriarchs differs from the usual four. Sarah is undisputedly the matriarch of the nation of Israel even though she bore only one son, the son of promise. Her tenure is followed by Rebekah, who had two sons; only one received the promise. Leah, the third matriarch, bore six sons and Jacob’s only daughter. But she was the first wife and was, no doubt, influential in raising Rachel’s two boys, as well as the boys of the servant wives. Asenath is included in this numbering. Given that her husband received the double blessing, her two sons are tribes: Ephraim and Manasseh. Each of the mothers had very different personalities and backgrounds. Each had influence in her time and has wisdom to share with believers of our day.

Download or read book Mafia Minded Ministers written by Nixon McDonald and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2014-09-05 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a true story about a mans life, it is a revealing story and its not meant to down grade or make negative the ministry of the gospel. It is to share some of the things that happened to me in my life, so that it will help some young minister that may experience similar situation. This story is about a group of minister that had many members and substance, but because of greed, envy and power, they tried to keep others from having anything, thus emulating the mafia tactics on a fellow minister by trying to hinder him and even to put the church he pastored out of business. They seemed to have the idea that the young minister was infringing on their territory, if he were not stopped. They tried everything in their power to stop him. If youve ever seen a mafia movie you would actually think that this was an enactment of a Mafia scene played out on stage, where one mob boss would use force and tries to put the other out of business. This is the type story you are about to read, only instead of the Mafia, its Mafia Minded Ministers. Read the story and judge for yourself! Dr. Nixon McDonald, Jr

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born to extremely young parents on August 9, 1963. raised by my mothers mother a God-fearing woman, Mother Jimmie Ann Lewis who surely deserves honorable mention and more. I have always been an avid reader and I have always put my thoughts on paper. I believe it began while in Junior High I wrote poetry and short stories. I even entered a few contests; not much ever became of that. But what I would really like you to know is when youre young you make a lot of mistakes...my husband and I worked hard at getting our credit together so we could purchase a home and just so happens that we chose a realtor who was a scheista and then we purchased a house in the middle of the ghetto; imagine that. Well, needless to say they were selling drugs out the back door and shootin each other out the front door. I am a native of Pennsylvania but several months before my 38th birthday I pondered my circumstances and realized I had been in Harrisburg all my life and it was high time for me to leave. After I had this epiphany I was determined not to celebrate 38 years in my hometown. Hence, we loaded up the truck and we moved to Beverly, no we actually moved to St. Louis, MO; to the place of my husbands birth (he wanted to be closer to his family). After only 18 months there we decided to move one more time and we are now transplants to Arizona. Lets go back, I forgot to tell you that all the while the shooting and the drug dealing was going I was petitioning heaven and this was my prayer...Lord, please increase my quality of living. Dont know exactly what I expected but after leaving the city of St. Louis where someone would go joyriding in our cars every other night, arriving in AZ and paying six hundred and some odd dollars a month for a two bedroom in a complex that had a pool I was sure God had responded. Weve been in Arizona for 7 years and weve been blessed to purchase a 4,000sf home, we have natural children, adopted children and foster children and God has done exceeding abundantly more than I asked. Not only that I picked up my pen again and O the things that God has to say! Who knew?
