Her body seems to have betrayed her. Her confidence in the goodness of God is rattled. Her loved ones don't know what to say. Her heart is broken. She may feel guilty, ashamed, angry, depressed, confused, or alone. With vulnerability and tenderness, Adriel Booker shares her own experience of three consecutive miscarriages, as well as the stories of others. She tackles complex questions about faith and suffering with sensitivity and clarity, inviting women to a place of grace, honesty, and hope in the redemptive purposes of God without offering religious clichés and pat answers. She also shares specific, practical resources, such as ways to help guide children through grief, suggestions for memorializing your baby, and advice on pregnancy after loss, as well as a special section for dads and loved ones.
Download or read book Wake up Black Man and Black Woman written by Alpha Omega Riddick and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-07-08 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black people of America, we need to stop reading books about thug life and street life. We need to read books that will open our minds to ideas and issues that will help us and our families and the future of black generations of this country. Black people of America, we were here before most of the other nationalities that are here now. We should be in a much better financial situation than we are in now. Most of us are at the bottom or near the bottom of the economic scale as a whole. We have to learn from the foreigners that stick together and open up businesses in our community. Plus we have to stop giving our hard-earned money to other nationalities and none to ourselves; in a way, we are still slaves. I wrote this book to inspire Black Americans to open there eyes to the positive changes we need to make to help our families and future black generations in America. This book shows how we are living compared to other nationalities in America, as well as the factors that are holding us back as a whole. We must remember our ancestors and the sacrifices they made when they were slaves. They were the strongest people in the world, and we are their descendants. I feel they were superhuman beings to make that trip from Africa to America. We as black Americans have that same ability in us to survive. Remember, we are the alpha race. We need to wake up and stop hitting the snooze button. May God bless this book and everyone that reads it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Basically, Screw Your Perception is to remind us all that we are one. How is our ego getting in the way and stopping us from listening and accepting others just as they are? How can we learn to live in love and in relation with another? How can we learn and understand one another? What if we listened? What if we allowed others to be themselves? What if we let go? What if we were willing to look ourself in the mirror? What if we might just be each other's reflection? What if we were here to learn, to show empathy, to love, and to accept one another? Can we accept others just as they are? Can we accept them even when to us, what they are saying, thinking, or doing seems so different from what we are saying, thinking, or doing? The big question: Can we deflate our ego and stop trying to change everyone else? Maybe it is about changing ourselves. Maybe it is all about connection rather than division?

Book excerpt: Screen Deep is a book about the immense potential of screen storytelling to defeat an evil both historic and urgently topical: racism. Everyone watches TV and movies.

Jones combines her personal experience as a mixed-race woman who cares about racism with her professional expertise as a film and TV journalist of twenty years standing, to ask - and answer - several questions: Is there such a thing as an Indigenous western? Is race comedy 'cancelled'? Where are all the films for white people? And most importantly: Can you still fight the good fight with a mouthful of popcorn?

Download or read book Birth of a Jewel written by Terese Neely Pottinger and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2024-02-07 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever wondered if you really mattered in this world, what your purpose was, or what you lived for? As you lie down to sleep at night, do you ever wish you could erase the day and have a do-over or said something you deeply regretted, wishing you could delete the whole conversation like it never happened and begin again? Have you found a comfortable balance between giving and receiving, between guilt and genuine compassion? Have you been in a room full of surface-only conversations and just wanted to excuse yourself because that way of communicating doesn't work for you anymore? And have there been times when you felt a deep void and didn't know how to fill it or where it even was? If you have, welcome. You are not alone. The answers to these questions and more are found in the book you now hold in your hand. I have always believed there are no coincidences, and our choices (as in picking up this book) could be calling us to open ourselves to new and positive ways of approaching challenges and lessons as we move forward in our lives. The Birth of a Jewel is a series of stories that have brought wisdom and inspiration front and center for me, from the life lessons I have gained through my experiences walking on this earth. Some of the stories may have you laughing; some may stop you in your tracks, and the tears will flow; and then others may leave you pondering about your own journey and the lessons you can share with others. We are a people of watchers, so therefore, we are teachers by the way we live our lives. Thought to ponder: What do you live for, and what purpose do you carry that moves you to make a difference?
