Book excerpt: This is the inspiring true story of my life. I was a 5 year old foster kid who eventually found light at the end of the tunnel. I have fought for my existence. I have lived a life in which abuse, loneliness, and dark nights of despair rattled the very bones of my body, drained the tears of my spirit, shattered my mind into a million fragments, and left me for awhile plodding through life as an empty shell, a lost and helpless soul. I have breathed the air of the unloved, and suffered deep psychological and spiritual wounds due to abandonment at an early age by my mother and father. I have blamed myself for a past over which I had no control. My trust in people was displaced with hostility and anger. And yet, my spirit would not be broken. I have fought for survival in the name of love, powered by a dogged will whose voice never stopped telling me to NEVER GIVE UP! I would like to share my story with you so that you may be determined to win life's battles and finally have peace with your past.

Download or read book Inspirational Stories from the Pulpit written by Rev. Wesley Moss and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-08-01 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The collection of inspirational stories, food for thought, famous quotes, and humor is the result of more than ten years as senior pastor of Friendship Baptist Church, Memphis, Tennessee, and more than thirty-eight years of preaching and teaching. It is my hope that clergy and professional speakers as well as ordinary individuals will become better communicators in any setting using this easy to read and absorb material. It is also my hope that this collection will mentally stimulate the reader to do or feel something, especially to do something creative and spontaneous. Quoting from Mother Theresa: "The greatest disease in the West today is not TB or Leprosy, it is being unwanted, unloved, and uncared-for. We can cure physical diseases with medicine, but the only cure for loneliness, despair, and hopelessness is love. There are many in the world who are dying for a little love. The poverty in the West is a different kind of poverty . . . it is not only the poverty of loneliness but also of spirituality. There's a hunger for love, as there is a hunger for God." (Mother Theresa, A Simple Path: Mother Theresa) In most of the inspirational stories, you will be able to experience God's love for humankind and His love for you, and at the same time demonstrate your love for God through your love for neighbor as suggested by Mother Teresa's quote. Even though I'm very acquainted with the section on humor, I find myself laughing out loud each time I revisit this section. If you are an introvert (quiet or your attention is mainly on yourself), this humor will make you an extrovert (active and expressive) and the life of any gathering, because almost everyone loves humor. Make this book a treasured addition to your library and one you will gladly recommend to others. It is my fervent prayer that through this effort I am leaving the wood pile a little higher than I found it. Jesus loves you and so do I! Reverend Wesley Louis Moss, at eighty-one years young, is Associate Minister of Mt. Tabor Baptist Church in Columbus, Georgia. Reverend Ken Jelks is senior pastor.

Book excerpt: Looking back through his nearly forty-year career, Dr. Omar Lattouf vividly recounts his experiences as a heart surgeon layered in personal and professional stories. From his education and residency training through later years as an independent surgeon, Dr. Lattouf dedicated himself to providing care to patients suffering from numerous cardiac aliments. While expressing complete confidence in his decision to become a cardiac surgeon, Dr. Lattouf acknowledges that if he didn't grow up in an age before calculators and harbor a deep distaste for the ?slide rule?, he likely would have become an engineer. A career as a physician, however, was not without hardship. Detailing his early training of long hours in the operating room and intensive care units, a picture of the passion, determination, and experience required to excel as a physician quickly becomes clear. Days without sleep were common, and the tremendous burden of losing a patient is one never far from Dr. Lattouf's mind. Yet he also reflects on the more positive opportunities, including his participation in the emerging world of heart and heart lung transplantation that resulted in over one hundred, adrenaline inducing heart transplant ?runs'. And those of his later years, distinguished by thousands of operations, ranging from the ordinary to those never before attempted.Although this book details only part of the endless encounters that constituted his career, these stories are those that most shaped him as a person and left an indelible effect on his memory. Knowing that his remarkable career was facilitated by those around him, Dr. Lattouf simultaneously strives to thank those colleagues and family members who supported him throughout, and pass along guidance to those that will follow his path. And ultimately, from moments of failure to hair-raising encounters and achievements, these Heartfelt Stories illuminate the complex life of a heart surgeon.ALL OF THE PROCEEDS FROM THIS BOOK WILL GO TO SUPPORT CARDIOVASCULAR EDUCATION AND CARDIOVASCULAR PATIENT CARE.THE AUTHOR WILL NOT USE ANY OF THE PROCEEDS FOR PERSONAL BENEFIT

Download or read book Damaged but Not Broken written by Lakeisha Fears-Perez and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-12-11 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Damaged, But Not Broken A Memoir by LaKeisha Fears-Perez Damaged But Not Broken is a collection of memoirs as told by young people who are heartbroken and who have failed or in some way been affected by negativity. Their recollections are of abandonment, abuse, addictions, and neglect. Their stories prove that the effects of tolerance and how we hold fast to what we see and what we are exposed to varies from individual to individual. The theory of what is perceived early in childhood before the age of five is rooted and embedded in a childs psyche. We set our children up for failure when we subject them to unstable conditions. The environment and what we expose our children to affects how they view themselves and the world around them. A well-rounded balance is essential in a childs life and until they are introduced to religious training, they tend to see us as their god from the moment of birth. Whatever we expose them to is indelibly written in their brains. Children are like little sponges soaking up everything until they come to the age of reasoning at which they begin to understand right from wrong. Unacceptable lifestyles are damaging,an accident waiting to happen for children as well as adults. The emphasis is not so much on where we are in life as it is on what we are doing where we are. What we are doing to our children can cause them to struggle with the worries of this world and not be able to adapt very well. Getting it out of ones system has proven to be liberating, and the number of broken adults who pass hurt onto their children and continue the ongoing destructive dysfunctional cycle is unfortunate. The stories you are about to read are therapeutic. They are a way to get it out for some and just simple acknowledgement for others.
