Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Covid pandemic has probably been one of the worst crises for many. Besides seeing many of their close ones losing their lives right under their very nose, the agony of losing jobs with less or no income flowing in, social isolation at home has naturally caused spells of mental health concerns- causing undue and heavy depression and anxieties for countless lives. This depression can arise as a result of a sudden shift in a person’s life- the sudden loss of a loved one, the sudden termination of a job or the uncertainty over what the future holds. And the easiest way for many to escape (or according to them ‘cope’) with this depression is through the means of alcohol or drugs to numb or ease the pain they may be feeling or going through. For many others, the thought that drinking alcohol may seem harmless, at first; but drinking alcohol doesn’t stop with that first drink. You’re at a party, wanting to have some fun, you drink a beer; or you are probably tired from a long workday and have a glass of wine to unwind or just relax it out; you’re struggling through some life challenges, like finances, family, job etc; you’re feeling lonely, sad, confused; you have one drink, just to get your mind off life for a while. For many people, this is how alcoholism starts; that “one drink” leads to another, then another, and before you know it, you’re completely dependent upon alcohol to get through your day or any other situation in life. Further, to make matters worse, in today’s society, we are bombarded with pictures, TV shows, movies, and music that literally promote that consuming alcohol as someone being adventurous, glamorous, fun, and cool, that can tempt youngsters into being lured into this vice. Regular consumption of alcohol disrupts the balance of certain chemicals in the brain, disorganizing the thinking process and over time- months for some and years for others, continuous alcohol use significantly alters these chemicals in the brain, causing the body to crave more and more alcohol. Many alcoholics have trouble keeping a job, while others are unable to cope with family dynamics or social situations in a healthy manner. Many people who consume too much alcohol feel ashamed and withdraw from relationships in order to keep their addiction secret. Every year, alcoholism results in thousands of unnecessary deaths, millions of failed relationships and countless mental and physical health problems. Sadly, millions of people die from alcoholism or alcohol poisoning each year. And to add to this all-Alcoholism not only affects the alcoholic; alcoholism takes a toll on all of the people in an alcoholic’s life-family, friends, coworkers, neighbors, and others. Often, people in an alcoholic’s life feel helpless as to how to help their loved one and feel hopeless and helpless as to whether or not an alcoholic loved one can be saved. If you’re worried that someone you know has an alcohol addiction, it’s best to approach them in a supportive way. Avoid shaming them or making them feel guilty. This could push them away and make them more resistant to your help. We experienced countless stories of wives and children that would come into every service of ours, weeping asking us to pray for their husbands. Many of these came from areas where illicit alcohol was being sold, and this caused immense damages to the individual as well as their families, - sometimes even leading to loss of lives or being bedridden forever. This would move my heart so much as we would prayer for such cases and soon we started receiving testimonies of turn-arounds- that brought such joy! So here’s the Good News! Reformation, Renewal and Restoration from Alcoholism Behind every affliction is a wicked spirit, and as children of God we need to understand that the devil will stop at nothing to mess our salvation and destroy lives. It is the spirit that is behind the ruination of many lives and families-shattering, breaking and devastating homes. But as Christians, we believe in and serve a God of the impossible! But will it be easy? Certainly not! It would require changes in lifestyles- but as in Matthew 19:26, “With God, all things are possible.” We serve a God who can do anything in our lives – anything! God is just waiting for you to come to Him with this problem, this addiction. God is able to deliver you completely by cleansing, sanctifying, and justifying you (I Corinthians 6:9-11). Though alcohol abuse is a failing of the flesh (Galatians 5:19-21), the Holy Spirit can, and will, produce the self-control you need to overcome it (Galatians 5:22-23). In our weakness HE is our strength, and through HIS mighty restoration power in and through you, HE, can not only enable you recover from alcohol, but also ‘Reform, Renew & Restore’ all the years, time, relationship and everything else lost. Remember that we are saints according to God's Word (Ephesians 1) and that true freedom comes from realizing our true identity in Christ. So come to Him today!

Sergei is the leader within the Russian immigrant community in Raleigh and the head of his family. He is a successful businessman who has carefully cultivated his intimidating persona, not correcting people when they believe him to be the head of the area's Russian mob. Everyone comes to him if they have a problem. His problem is that he doesn't know how to tell them no, especially his sister. Stuart spends a lot of time alone, working from home as a graphic and website designer. He doesn't want to be alone, but it's simply how things have worked out. Stuart was devastated when his mother let his stepfather kick him out of the house as soon as he graduated high school. Working two—and sometimes three—jobs to put himself through college didn't leave him a lot of time to socialize. He has had to look out for himself for a long time now and finds it hard to let anyone in. Becoming friends with Lee Clark at Everyone's Mechanic is one of the best things that has ever happened to him and it leads to him meeting Sergei. Sergei has to break through Stuart's protective shell and give him a home and family. Stuart needs to teach Sergei that it's okay to have boundaries, even with loved ones.

Download or read book Life and Death of the American Worker written by Alice Driver and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2024-09-03 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the J. Anthony Lukas Work-in-Progress Award, an explosive exposé of the toxic labor practices at the largest meatpacking company in America and the immigrant workers who had the courage to fight back. On June 27, 2011, a deadly chemical accident took place inside the Tyson Foods chicken processing plant in Springdale, Arkansas, where the company is headquartered. The company quickly covered it up although the spill left their employees injured, sick, and terrified. Over the years, Arkansas-based reporter Alice Driver was able to gain the trust of the immigrant workers who survived the accident. They rewarded her persistence by giving her total access to their lives. Having spent hours in their kitchens and accompanying them to doctor’s appointments, Driver has memorialized in these pages the dramatic lives of husband and wife Plácido and Angelina, who liked to spend weekends planting seeds from their native El Salvador in their garden; father and son Martín and Gabriel, who migrated from Mexico at different times and were trying to patch up their relationship; and many other immigrants who survived the chemical accident in Springdale that day. During the course of Alice’s reporting, the COVID-19 pandemic struck the community, and the workers were forced to continue production in unsafe conditions, watching their colleagues get sick and die one by one. These essential workers, many of whom only speak Spanish and some of whom are illiterate—all of whom suffer the health consequences of Tyson’s negligence—somehow found the strength and courage to organize and fight back, culminating in a lawsuit against Tyson Foods, the largest meatpacking company in America. Richly detailed, fiercely honest, and deeply reported, Life and Death of the American Worker will forever change the way we think about the people who prepare our food.

Book excerpt: I can't remember exactly when my heart cried out to the most high God. We all cry out to someone in our pain. I didn't even know His name. It could have been when I was lying in our bed. I'm not even sure she and I owned this bed. I remember it was in our two-bedroom apartment. I shared the master bedroom with her, of course. I still couldn't believe we had been together almost five years. Our place was always neat and tidy yet stunk with lies, betrayal, and brokenness. Tied up in chains of brokenness, I couldn't break free. I would be content at times throughout the day, and then the emptiness would haunt me like a ghost. I was so hungry, so desperate to fill this void. Why couldn't she fill it? Why wouldn't the world fill it? I cried out on my bed, 'Someone! Anyone! Please help me!' Jill Stacey spent her early life seeking to fill the empty void in her heart. During childhood, Jill recognized just how messed up her family really was. Her father had issues while abusing her emotionally and sexually. Her mother never gave her the love she yearned for. There was always fighting and turmoil in the home. Jill didn't tell a soul; she carried her burden alone for many years. Jill then began to look for older women to meet her needs. It started out innocently. She was just looking for a mother figure, someone to hold her and love her. Then she began to seek an escape from the dysfunction. Drugs and alcohol provided this. And as she grew up, Jill's quest for love changed—she realized she was a homosexual. Soon her world, one filled with unhealthy relationships, addictions, and idolatry, spiraled out of control. At rock bottom, there was hope. Discover how God healed and restored Jill's life and made her Cinderella Dream come true. He can do the same for you.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reverend Curtis Black is back again in the New York Times bestselling series by Kimberla Lawson Roby. Dillon hadn't been called by anyone. He'd called himself and he wasn't ashamed of it. But no good can come from . . . Two years ago, to everyone's surprise, Dillon Whitfield Black, the secret son of Reverend Curtis Black, boldly moved back home, married a woman named Raven, decided he was going to become a minister, and then founded a church right in the center of his living room. Today he's pastor of a 1,000-plus-member congregation, and new members are joining weekly. Sadly, behind closed doors, Dillon is far from being a saint. Dillon has become more like the man his father was thirty years ago-consumed with money, power, and lots of women. His family may have let bygones be bygones, but they continue to keep their distance. Not Alicia, though. This daughter of Curtis Black joins Dillon's congregation, leaving her father's church behind. The family has forgiven Alicia for marrying Levi Cunningham, the former drug dealer she had an affair with, but once Alicia realizes they will never fully accept Levi, she decides to see her family less and less. She and Levi are truly happy, however, guilt from her betrayal of Phillip and its aftermath casts a shadow over their wedded bliss. But when Raven decides she wants a higher position in the church and Alicia hides a devastating secret, the entire family is affected in ways they don't see coming. In the end, no one will be able to trust anyone . . . and for very good reason.
