Download or read book On Grief and Grieving written by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-08-12 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ten years after the death of Elisabeth K bler-Ross, this commemorative edition of her final book combines practical wisdom, case studies, and the authors' own experiences and spiritual insight to explain how the process of grieving helps us live with loss. Includes a new introduction and resources section. Elisabeth K bler-Ross's On Death and Dying changed the way we talk about the end of life. Before her own death in 2004, she and David Kessler completed On Grief and Grieving, which looks at the way we experience the process of grief. Just as On Death and Dying taught us the five stages of death--denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance--On Grief and Grieving applies these stages to the grieving process and weaves together theory, inspiration, and practical advice, including sections on sadness, hauntings, dreams, isolation, and healing. This is "a fitting finale and tribute to the acknowledged expert on end-of-life matters" (Good Housekeeping).

Book excerpt: For many people, remaining optimistic and feeling positive about themselves and their lives is a constant battle—especially when circumstances are difficult and life is hard. For others, negativity is something that only sneaks up from time to time, yet still wreaks havoc in their hearts. Regardless of the root causes, once pessimistic thoughts permeate our minds, our feelings and emotions begin to control us instead of us controlling them. Eventually it doesn’t seem possible to stay positive, happy, and full of joy, and negative thought patterns shake our faith, causing us to sink emotionally, mentally, and spiritually over time. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Despite what storms roll in, hearts anchored in God don’t sink. When we change the way we think, we can change the way we feel and live, even if our circumstances remain the same.

Download or read book Encounters with Jesus written by Tom Decker and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-08-01 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the Shores of Galilee is an intimate look at Jesus Christ by the men and women in His day who were touched by Him. Some of those in this book were fishermen, some were outcasts like an immoral woman who was weighed down by the guilt of her past, or a diseased leper estranged from society, others were even wealthy businessmen. Still, others were condemned men who were awaiting the judgement of their lawless deeds. Some were religious leaders with deep-seated opinions that overshadowed tangible proofs before their eyes. Yet there was something about Jesus that, for some, posed a riddle and a question they could not answer, and this mystery about Him they could not dismiss so easily. And still, others found in Jesus the answer to the culmination of all their deepest needs. Here, I invite you to take a journey back to that land and, as these pages unfold, feel the airy climate of Jerusalem and touch those dusty roads and, in the process, perhaps meet Jesus Christ yourself and feel your heart warmed by Him. It is my hope that for you the trip will be worth it.

Download or read book Walk Down the Aisle The Wedding Stories of 3 Generations of Women Walking With God written by Paula Ann Groetzinger Reid and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2017-10-05 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of 3 generations of women in my family; women walking with God. The story-line is based on facts, but purposely omits many details of the lives of the characters. It has been written this way so as not to get bogged down in details; and so the reader can read between the lines of the story...can virtually replace the photos with those from their own life's story, or that of a friend or relative. The book is only unique in the specifics, not in the generalities of how God works in the lives of His children. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. How one sees Him working in the lives of the characters in this book, is the same way He can work in the life of the Reader. An alternate title could have been: Everything in My Life Seemed to Be Going Wrong...But God! This saga is told from the 3rd person perspective of a wise, old Aunt telling a story to a group of young women preparing for marriage.

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.

Download or read book Religion and Intimate Partner Violence written by Nancy Nason-Clark and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intimate partner violence is a complex, ugly, fear-inducing reality for large numbers of women around the world. When violence exists in a relationship, safety is compromised, shame abounds, and peace evaporates. Violence is learned behavior and it flourishes most when it is ignored, minimized, or misunderstood. When it strikes the homes of deeply religious women, they are: more vulnerable; more likely to believe that their abusive partners can, and will, change; less likely to leave a violent home, temporarily or forever; often reluctant to seek outside sources of assistance; and frequently disappointed by the response of the religious leader to their call for help. These women often believe they are called by God to endure the suffering, to forgive (and to keep on forgiving) their abuser, and to fulfill their marital vows until death do us part. Concurrently, many batterers employ explicitly religious language to justify the violence towards their partners, and sometime they manipulate spiritual leaders who try to offer them help. Religion and Intimate Partner Violence seeks to navigate the relatively unchartered waters of intimate partner violence in families of deep faith. The program of research on which it is based spans over twenty-five years, and includes a wide variety of specific studies involving religious leaders, congregations, battered women, men in batterer intervention programs, and the army of workers who assist families impacted by abuse, including criminal justice workers, therapeutic staff, advocacy workers, and religious leaders. The authors provide a rich and colorful portrayal of the intersection of intimate partner violence and religious beliefs and practices that inform and interweave throughout daily life. Such a focus on lived religion enables readers to isolate, examine, and evaluate ways in which religion both augments and thwarts the journey towards justice, accountability, healing and wholeness for women and men caught in the web of intimate partner violence.
