Download or read book He Gave Me Beauty for Ashes written by Olayinka Akingbade and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-02-22 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He Gave Me Beauty for Ashes (Isaiah 61:3) Olayinka Akingbade A Journal on my Triumph Over Breast Cancer This journal was written as part of the healing process during my battle with cancer, and as an inspiration to others. I am not an experienced writer; however, jotting everything down along the way, not knowing how it was all going to end, seemed adventurous for me. Encouraged to write by my niece Dr. Omolara Thomas Uwemedimo and my friend Natalie James while I was sick, I did not realize how effective and helpful this journal was going to be. Some of the proceeds of the sale of this book will go to support the American Cancer Society, in the hopes that more patients may be placed on Abraxane, the chemotherapy medication which helped so much during my recovery process, that, although seemingly inescapable, I did not need to have a Mastectomy after all! THE PAINS AND THE SORROW While composing this work, I recalled certain feelings that I experienced but had not included in the journal: The very first time I received chemotherapy, I felt weak, nauseated, and quite aggravated from the pain on my chest. My doctor had warned me that this was going to be very strong chemotherapy, and my heart had to be strong in order to withstand it. I vomited several times, and almost vomited on my visitors! And there were times when the pain was so strong, it would hurt if I cried or laughed. Any movement was excruciatingly painful; all I could bear was to lie down on my side. I just wanted to be left alone. In fact, I remember instructing my older son I did not want to speak to anyone, including “Big Mommy”, (the term of endearment my son had given to my sister Abosede Thomas, his Godmother). She had traveled from New York to Florida with her friend Yvonne Charles within 72 hours of hearing that I was admitted to the hospital, diagnosed with breast cancer. Being a competent nurse, she did nothing but shower me with care, yet I felt annoyed with all the attention. I recall her asking me if I was going through depression . . . I’m sure I was. I also remember sending away my friend Lourdes and my niece Oyinlola, who also came from New York to assist me, telling them I just wanted to be left alone. I now realize all these feelings of pain, despair, sorrow and loneliness are side effects of the chemotherapy. There were moments of confusion when I was not really sure what God was up to in all of this. Even though I trusted God knowing He’s in control and on the Throne, I still had many questions without answers, wondering what this was all about and how I was going to come out of it. There were times when fear came knocking at the door, remembering what had happened to people I knew that had suffered breast cancer. El me dio Belleza en Lugar de Cenizas (Isaias 61:3) Olayinka Akingbade Diario de Mi Triunfo Sobre el Cancer de Seno PROLOGO Este diario fue escrito como parte de mi proceso de sanidad durante mi batalla contra el cancer, y como inspiración a otros. No soy una escritora con experiencia; sin embargo, el escribirlo todo durante el proceso, sin saber como este proceso terminaría, me parecio una gran aventura. Animada a escribir por mi sobrina Dra. Omolara Thomas Uwemedimo y mi amiga Natalie James mientras estuve enferma, no me imaginé cuan efectivo e útil este diario resultaría. Parte de los fondos recaudados de las ventas de este diario se otorgaran a la Sociedad Americana de Cancer, con la esperanza de que mas pacientes puedan beneficiarse de Abraxane, el medicamento de quimoterapia que me ayudó tanto durante mi proceso de recuperación, que a pesar de que parecía inevitable ¡no tuve la necesidad de una mastectomia después de todo! LOS DOLORES Y LA PENA Mientras redactaba esta obra, me vinieron a memoria ciertos sentimientos que experimenté, los cuales no habia incluído en mi diario: La primera ves que recibí quimotera

Download or read book Spirituality and the Awakening Self written by David G. PhD Benner and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being human is a lifelong journey of becoming. This journey defines our humanity, for it is a journey toward our source and our fulfillment, described in Christian theology as union with God. If we remain open to God as our sense of self awakens, we experience a deeper consciousness of being in him. The self that emerges during this process is larger, more enlightened, and whole. David Benner, who has spent thirty-five years integrating psychology and spirituality, presents psychological insights in a readable fashion to offer readers a deeper understanding of the self and its spiritual development. Drawing on a broad range of Christian traditions, Benner shows that the transformation of self is foundational to Christian spirituality. This book will appeal to readers interested in a psychologically grounded, fresh exploration of Christian spirituality; professionals engaged in pastoral care, counseling, and spiritual direction; and students in ministry development and spiritual formation courses. Questions and answers for individual or group use are included at the end of each chapter.

Book excerpt: A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church.

Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.

I will recommend this most helpful volume to many of my clients. A counselor in private practice for over twenty years. When I arrived at the prison, I had to pass through numerous locked gates on my way to the hospital. How strange and intimidating it felt to hear yet another door lock behind me as we went into the depths of the prison. I couldnt help but feel a twinge of fear as the guards took us past scummy looking men hanging out in the hallways. Finally, we came to my fathers room and I could see him through the open door. He was lying in his bed gazing at the ceiling and his face was shining! He hadnt noticed that I had come, so I stood enraptured, wondering at the change in my Daddys countenance. While I was at the prison, I had a chance to talk alone with the prison doctor, and was encouraged by his comments as well. Your dads story needs to be told, he said to me. He is truly a changed man. Other people need to know that God can change anybody, even child molesters. There are many people inside these locked doors, and outside in the world, who have lost hope that God would do anything for them. Your fathers changed life is a testimony of Gods faithfulness to any sinner who chooses to repent.
