Download or read book I d rather be alone and free than locked up together written by SVEN LENDERINK and published by Sven Lenderink. This book was released on 2024-07-09 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes you on my personal journey through one of the world's most rigid religions: Jehovah's Witnesses. From my early childhood, I share my experiences within this tightly controlled world, where later in life, I began to question and confront my inner struggles. You will gain a unique insight into the faith that promised us that God would soon intervene and that we, his devoted followers, would be rewarded with a paradisiacal existence. But this utopia demands sacrifices - strict obedience to rules and shielding oneself from many worldly temptations. For a child in this isolated community, life is already a challenge, but growing up and finding one's way to adulthood brings new obstacles. Do I doubt everything I've been taught? Do I want to continue down this path? Is escape even an option? If so, what price must I pay? What follows is an emotional journey that begins at a young age. Voicing my doubts would mean being ostracized from my community. Family and friends could turn their backs on me. Literally everything is at stake. Ultimately, I face a pivotal choice: Do I remain trapped in this world, or do I choose freedom? Whichever path I take, it will forever change my life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the gripping sequel to BE WITH ME, Jessica Cunsolo takes us back to the world of With Me. When Siena Amato moved to King City, all she wanted to do was take care of her sister, maybe reconnect with her long-absent father, and keep her head down and her grades up. She never expected to become the prime suspect in a classmate’s disappearance–at least in the eyes of the girl’s police officer father–or to fall for Jason Parker. Jason is everything Siena doesn’t need right now. Yes, he’s handsome, very handsome. And he’s kind and thoughtful, but he’s also got a reputation for drag racing and evading the law. Being around him isn't a good idea for a girl who is already fighting to convince everyone that she’s innocent and just wants to avoid the drama. However, Siena can’t ignore the attraction between them, and Jason actually believes her. As their friend’s disappearance remains a mystery, the pair are even more determined to discover the truth and clear Siena’s name. But as they dig deeper, they may be risking everything including their hearts.

Book excerpt: From the New York Times bestselling author of Cleo: A funny and moving account of a life-changing month as a foster mother—to a homeless cat named Bono. When Helen Brown arrived in New York for a much-anticipated visit, a fellow animal lover talked her into fostering a shelter cat. Helen visualized a sweet-natured cuddler who blinked and dozed a lot. What she got at Manhattan’s Bideawee shelter was a wide-eyed and unpredictable Persian with a punked-out haircut and a feisty attitude. Bono had become homeless during Hurricane Sandy, had survived a serious infection, and needed daily medications. As a “special needs” cat, he was an unlikely candidate for adoption. But as affection between them grew, Helen resolved to see that Bono found his forever home. She didn’t know that he would change her life in ways she never dreamed possible and teach her lessons she would cherish ever after. Just as this sweet, beleaguered, and hopeful guy deserved a fresh start, Helen too was ready for new beginnings. And so began a heartwarming, uplifting, lasting kind of love . . . Praise for the works of Helen Brown “A buoyant tale, heartfelt and open.” –Booklist “An absolute must.” —Cat World “Brown gives inspiration with her witty, adventurous story.” —RT Book Reviews “Brown writes eloquently about women, daughters, and felines.” —Kirkus Reviews

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. 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.
