Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I greet you in the name of our Lord. God had a plan for me. Though I pondered, he still made preparations and gives confirmation. I had no idea where or how to start, but God already had it in his plan. He had given me the tools; I just needed to open the toolbox. I found my pen (screwdriver) and the hammer (scriptures). Women Worshipping God While Wounded was birth through women that have been through the storm and came out with fascinating, stimulating, and encouraging testimonies and stories of purpose. Its not about me or you, but its his plan that will prevail. No matter what your leaking issues are (spiritual warfare, the marriage on the verge of breaking up, that man that left you, the friend that looked the other way, being the victim), give them to God. Dont give up on your dreams, goals, or visions, and when God brings you out, share the good news. Get some new friends (Deborah, a renowned prophetess and judge, the woman God used, or Esther, the woman who saved the Jews). Your background does not determine what God can do with you. God never forgets our labor of love (like Ruth, who was loyal to Naomi and faithful to God). Dont live your life as the world turns on the edge of night. May the grace of God push you into your next destiny.

Download or read book The Anti Cool Girl written by Rosie Waterland and published by HarperCollins Australia. This book was released on 2015-09-01 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brutal, brave, hilarious -- a full-frontal memoir about surviving the very worst that life can throw at you. Rosie Waterland has never been cool. Growing up in housing commission, Rosie was cursed with a near perfect, beautiful older sister who dressed like Mariah Carey on a Best & Less budget while Rosie was still struggling with various toilet mishaps. She soon realised that she was the Doug Pitt to her sister's Brad, and that cool was not going to be her currency in this life. But that was only one of the problems Rosie faced. With two addicts for parents, she grew up amidst rehab stays, AA meetings, overdoses, narrow escapes from drug dealers and a merry-go-round of dodgy boyfriends in her mother's life. Rosie watched as her dad passed out/was arrested/vomited, and had to talk her mum out of killing herself. As an adult, trying to come to grips with her less than conventional childhood, Rosie navigated her way through eating disorders, nude acting roles, mental health issues and awkward Tinder dates. Then she had an epiphany: to stop pretending to be who she wasn't and embrace her true self -- a girl who loved drinking wine in her underpants on Sunday nights -- and become an Anti-Cool Girl. An irrepressible, blackly comic memoir, Rosie Waterland's story is a clarion call for Anti-Cool Girls everywhere. 'Individual, wounded, brilliant and hilarious' Sydney Morning Herald 'If Augusten Burroughs and Lena Dunham abandoned their child in an Australian housing estate, she'd write this heartbreaking, hilarious book. It made me laugh uproariously, then feel terrible for her, then laugh all over again. Sorry, Rosie.' Dominic Knight, The Chaser 'Hilarious, wise, gutsy, clear-eyed, devastating and uplifting. It's a marvel.' Richard Glover The Anti Cool Girl was shortlisted for the 2016 Indie Book Awards and for the 2016 ABIA Awards for Biography of the Year, and in addition was the Winner of the 2016 ABIA Awards People's Choice for the Matt Richell Award for New Writer of the Year

If these words reflect your relationship with your mother, then Mama Drama can give you the tools to free yourself from the binds of an unhealthy mother/daughter relationship.

Download or read book Grace Paley written by Jacqueline Taylor and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2014-02-19 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grace Paley is a "writer's writer," admired by both scholars and the reading public for her originality and unique voice. In this first book-length study of her work, Jacqueline Taylor explores the source of Paley's originality, locating it in the way Paley transforms language to create strongly woman-centered stories. Drawing on interviews with the author, as well as the stories themselves, Taylor emphasizes Paley's awareness that women's voices have been muted and their stories ignored or left untold in our culture's male-oriented dominant discourse. She watches Paley in the process of reshaping language at both the semantic and narrative levels to make it express women's perceptions and experiences. In Paley's stories, it becomes possible to ignore traditional heroic and dramatic themes and instead talk about women and children in such everyday settings as the playground, the kitchen, and the grocery store. Some of the specific techniques Paley uses to accomplish this include identifying and repudiating sexist language in the dominant discourse and redefining ordinary words from the perspective of women. At the narrative level, Taylor reveals how she draws on women's oral traditions to tell open-ended stories that resist rigid beginning-middle-and-end structuring. This transformed language enables Paley to construct a social world where woman-centered meanings can flourish. In her nontraditional stories, no single narrator or version of events dominates. Anyone can be a storyteller and no one has the last word.

Download or read book Four Lives written by Janice Rubin and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2001-11-14 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why are some people able to survive unpropitious beginnings, thrive and even excel, while others in equivalent circumstances cannot? The four women whose memoirs make up this volume met several years ago in an autobiography workshop. Despite early years that included physical, emotional and sexual abuse, deaths and abandonments, and the terror of living in a country at war, they remained sufficiently self-possessed and determined to go on to live productive lives, often giving back more than they had received. How did they manage to do it? Was Thedas loving family her protective shield? Was Honeys willingness to accept help and learn from others her salvation? Did Peggys brightness, charm and independence give her the confidence to take on the world? Was Janices determination to matter her incentive? This book offers no answers, but there are enough clues in each of the four stories on which to base reasonable conjectures.
Download or read book TO BREAK EVERY YOKE written by Ms. J. E. Franklin and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-11-25 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The four works presented in this book are about freedom: breaking free, staying free, and helping others to freedom. A college student travels south to do her part in making Dr. King's dream of freedom for everyone a reality; a mother struggles for over two decades to free her blind son from bondage; a white man finds himself entrapped in the racial laws of the nation's One-Drop Theory; a high school drop-out tries to break free from negative family forces to pursue her dream of being a dancer. The familiar characters may make you laugh, but they may also make you cry; the questions raised may provoke, but they may also stir your imaginations and challenge long-held views. Hopefully, they will leave all of us with a broader understanding of our predicament and of ways in which we may address it.
Download or read book The Book of Rosy written by Rosayra Pablo Cruz and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2020-06-02 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Offers hope in the face of desperate odds” – ELLE Magazine, ELLE’s Most Anticipated Books of Summer 2020 “[D]isturbing and unforgettable memoir…This wrenching story brings to vivid life the plight of the many families separated at the U.S.-Mexico border.” – Publisher’s Weekly, STARRED REVIEW “[The] haunting and eloquent…narrative of a Guatemalan woman's desperate search for a better life." -Kirkus, STARRED Review PEOPLE Magazine Best Books of Summer 2020 TIME Magazine Best Books of Summer 2020 PARADE Best Books of Summer 2020 Compelling and urgently important, The Book of Rosy is the unforgettable story of one brave mother and her fight to save her family. When Rosayra “Rosy” Pablo Cruz made the agonizing decision to seek asylum in the United States with two of her children, she knew the journey would be arduous, dangerous, and quite possibly deadly. But she had no choice: violence—from gangs, from crime, from spiraling chaos—was making daily life hell. Rosy knew her family’s one chance at survival was to flee Guatemala and go north. After a brutal journey that left them dehydrated, exhausted, and nearly starved, Rosy and her two little boys arrived at the Arizona border. Almost immediately they were seized and forcibly separated by government officials under the Department of Homeland Security’s new “zero tolerance” policy. To her horror Rosy discovered that her flight to safety had only just begun. In The Book of Rosy, with an unprecedented level of sharp detail and soulful intimacy, Rosy tells her story, aided by Julie Schwietert Collazo, founder of Immigrant Families Together, the grassroots organization that reunites mothers and children. She reveals the cruelty of the detention facilities, the excruciating pain of feeling her children ripped from her arms, the abiding faith that staved off despair—and the enduring friendship with Julie, which helped her navigate the darkness and the bottomless Orwellian bureaucracy. A gripping account of the human cost of inhumane policies, The Book of Rosy is also a paean to the unbreakable will of people united by true love, a sense of justice, and hope for a better future.
