Download or read book He Never Left Me written by Dena Rachelle Davison and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2024-01-23 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With raw transparency, the author tells of her journey of growing up in old-school Pentecostal religion, to living in the LGBT+ community for the better part of thirty years, to finding spiritual freedom when she was shown a different view of God and Christianity at the age of fifty-two. She discusses her battles with addictions, severe anxiety, depression, self-harm and suicidal tendencies. Written for Christians and non-Christians alike, LGBT+ and straight, this book stresses the significance of loving all people like Jesus loves all of us, right where they are. The author emphasizes that we do not have to change anything to be loved and accepted by God; and that it is not our place to try to change people. Only God can do that, and we should let Him handle His business. Controversial and entertaining, this book will reassure you that you are never alone; and contrary to what some of us are taught, you can be same sex attracted and still live a life that is pleasing to God. You simply have to open your heart and mind completely and allow God to be your guidance.

Download or read book The Prodigal written by Wayne Kniffen and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2022-10-27 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a Christian, you may sometimes wonder: Have I made too many mistakes or too big of a blunder for God to see me as his legitimate child? Have I gone so far I’ve been disowned? Has he turned his back on me? Is he disappointed with me? Does he love me less because I’ve made some bad decisions? In The Prodigal, author Wayne Kniffen communicates that no matter how badly you may have blown it by making foolish choices, God isn’t mad at you. He is madly in love with you. The two sons in the Luke 15 parable provide deep insights into God’s love for you. Luke records one of the most familiar parables ever told by Jesus: the parable of the prodigal. The heavenly truth Jesus wants us to glean from this earthy story is to understand what the heavenly father thinks about us, how he sees us, and how he feels about us—even when we willfully make poor choices. Since this is one of the biggest issues—if not the biggest issue—Christians struggle with, Kniffen presents an examination of the fifteenth chapter of Luke.
Download or read book Maid written by Stephanie Land and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2019-01-22 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A single mother's personal, unflinching look at America's class divide (Barack Obama)," this New York Times bestselling memoir is the inspiration for the Netflix limited series, hailed by Rolling Stone as "a great one." At 28, Stephanie Land's dreams of attending a university and becoming a writer quickly dissolved when a summer fling turned into an unplanned pregnancy. Before long, she found herself a single mother, scraping by as a housekeeper to make ends meet. Maid is an emotionally raw, masterful account of Stephanie's years spent in service to upper middle class America as a "nameless ghost" who quietly shared in her clients' triumphs, tragedies, and deepest secrets. Driven to carve out a better life for her family, she cleaned by day and took online classes by night, writing relentlessly as she worked toward earning a college degree. She wrote of the true stories that weren't being told: of living on food stamps and WIC coupons, of government programs that barely provided housing, of aloof government employees who shamed her for receiving what little assistance she did. Above all else, she wrote about pursuing the myth of the American Dream from the poverty line, all the while slashing through deep-rooted stigmas of the working poor. Maid is Stephanie's story, but it's not hers alone. It is an inspiring testament to the courage, determination, and ultimate strength of the human spirit. "A single mother's personal, unflinching look at America's class divide, a description of the tightrope many families walk just to get by, and a reminder of the dignity of all work." -PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA, Obama's Summer Reading List

Download or read book It s a Bama Thing written by Rob Lewis and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2022-08-23 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is a humorous comparison on growing up in Alabama to a young athlete leaving home, undergoing, or enduring “The Process” and “growing up” in Crimson Tide country. It explores what it’s like to be a “Bama” fan...its experiences, the friendships, ups, and downs, trials, and tribulations of wearing the crimson and white. So, what’s it like to go anywhere in the country and hear “Roll Tide” loudly proclaimed by another fan? It’s the society of the “A”, the houndstooth coat and hat, about title town and eighteen football national championships (and counting!). Whether you’re from Alabama or not, if you’re a fan, you can relate to this story (haters beware!). At a Bama game, participation can be a raucous occasion, full of pageantry, passion, purpose, and pride. Big Al dances, the crowd feverishly roars out “Roll Tide” at every venue. It’s an event! Do you wear the colors? Do you bleed crimson and white (admittedly, difficult to do)? Have you declared your allegiance to the crimson “A” or the houndstooth pattern (usually happens at birth)? Do you tremble with excitement and delight whenever a team from title town plays (preparing your voice to erupt with “Roll Tide”)? Then far be it from me not to recommend this book as a good read. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll wonder and say to yourself, “Hmmm.” Hey, it’s relatable. Get comfortable, pull up a chair or sit up in bed, read and soak it in. I mean really...it’s a Bama thing!
Download or read book Tell to Win written by Peter Guber and published by Crown Currency. This book was released on 2011-03-01 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today everyone—whether they know it or not—is in the emotional transportation business. More and more, success is won by creating compelling stories that have the power to move partners, shareholders, customers, and employees to action. Simply put, if you can’t tell it, you can’t sell it. And this book tells you how to do both. Historically, stories have always been igniters of action, moving people to do things. But only recently has it become clear that purposeful stories—those created with a specific mission in mind—are absolutely essential in persuading others to support a vision, dream or cause. Peter Guber, whose executive and entrepreneurial accomplishments have made him a success in multiple industries, has long relied on purposeful story telling to motivate, win over, shape, engage and sell. Indeed, what began as knack for telling stories as an entertainment industry executive has, through years of perspiration and inspiration, evolved into a set of principles that anyone can use to achieve their goals. In Tell to Win, Guber shows how to move beyond soulless Power Point slides, facts, and figures to create purposeful stories that can serve as powerful calls to action. Among his techniques: * Capture your audience’s attention first, fast and foremost * Motivate your listeners by demonstrating authenticity * Build your tell around “what’s in it for them” * Change passive listeners into active participants * Use “state-of-the-heart” technology online and offline to make sure audience commitment remains strong To validate the power of telling purposeful stories, Guber includes in this book a remarkably diverse number of “voices” —master tellers with whom he’s shared experiences. They include YouTube founder Chad Hurley, NBA champion Pat Riley, clothing designer Normal Kamali, “Mission to Mars” scientist Gentry Lee, Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank, former South African president Nelson Mandela, magician David Copperfield, film director Steven Spielberg, novelist Nora Roberts, rock legend Gene Simmons, and physician and author Deepak Chopra. After listening to this extraordinary mix of voices, you’ll know how to craft, deliver—and own—a story that is truly compelling, one capable of turning others into viral advocates for your goal.
Download or read book Any Given Monday An Urban Educator s Journey written by Mokysha Benford, Ed.D. and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2017-11-20 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can we do school differently? Mokysha Benford, Ed.D., seeks to answer that question and others in this deeply personal collection of vignettes highlighting the lessons she's learned in various roles at school-ranging from substitute teaching to building principal. She explores the myriad problems that show up at school on any given day. These issues go far beyond teaching reading, writing, and arithmetic, and many educators have no clue how to deal with them. For instance, how do you handle students throwing desks and chairs, running out of school and into traffic, elementary school children engaging in sexual acts, and helping fifth-grade students pass an assessment when they don't know the alphabet? There are no easy answers, but success begins by focusing on more than academic subjects and giving freely of yourself on Any Given Monday.
