Download or read book My Story for His Glory written by Barbara Littlepage and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2018-01-19 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For about ten years I have been told to write my stories in a book form. I never did it until now because I couldn't think of a title that was worthy. My son, David and I were talking one beautiful Halloween day at our church. As we discussed his recent separation from his wife, we also discussed my plans to build a new church auditorium. I told him the one I wanted was probably going to cost about $900,000.00 and I didn't want to borrow money. I knew that God had provided for our first building and I knew He could do it again. I just couldn't see any way for that to happen. for such a large amount. David said, "Momma if you will write your stories it will sell." That day after we left the church I came directly to the office and started to type and the title "My story for HIS glory" is what I typed first. I didn't need to stress over the title anymore, that was it. Some secrets bring much greater destruction into our lives than if they were revealed. Revealing secret sin is painful, but God uses our honesty to bring a whole new dimension of freedom into our life. Satan will never be able to use that secret sin to hold us in bondage any more. Many others have allowed fear and shame to hold them back from taking the path that I have taken. Revealing my secret took courage. But God's incredible rewards await those who are willing to take the hard steps to live in open honesty. I praise God that He brought me through all the pain and destruction that Satan was putting on me, because now I live in freedom.

Download or read book My Story written by Marilyn Monroe and published by Taylor Trade Publishing. This book was released on 2006-11-25 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written at the height of her fame but not published until over a decade after her death, this autobiography of actress and sex symbol Marilyn Monroe (1926-1962) poignantly recounts her childhood as an unwanted orphan, her early adolescence, her rise in the film industry from bit player to celebrity, and her marriage to Joe DiMaggio. In this intimate account of a very public life, she tells of her first (non-consensual) sexual experience, her romance with the Yankee Clipper, and her prescient vision of herself as "the kind of girl they found dead in the hall bedroom with an empty bottle of sleeping pills in her hand." The Marilyn in these pages is a revelation: a gifted, intelligent, vulnerable woman who was far more complex than the unwitting sex siren she portrayed on screen. Lavishly illustrated with photos of Marilyn, this special book celebrates the life and career of an American icon—-from the unique perspective of the icon herself.
Download or read book Let Me Tell You My Story written by Doc Lewis and published by Tate Publishing Company. This book was released on 2015-01-13 with total page 96 pages.

The first and foremost is the misuse of evidence based upon a snitch's statement. Cameron Todd Willingham was wrongfully executed for the arson deaths of his three children based upon shoddy forensic expertise and the false testimony of a jailhouse snitch, who made a deal. Barry Scheck's Innocence Project Following, is the lack of accountability of misconduct by the authorities. "There are two constitutions - one for criminal cases generally and another for drug cases, which, invites police officer to behave like criminals. And they do". Retired U.S Magistrate Peter Nimkoff of Miami And last is the inflexibility of the mandatory minimum sentencing. ....."Our punishments too severe.....I can accept neither the necessity nor the wisdom of federal mandatory minimum sentences. In all too many cases, mandatory minimum sentences are unjust". Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy addressing the American Bar Association.
Download or read book My Story for His Glory written by Sammie Davis-Dyson and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-08-11 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether I had to be taken into sleeplessness, loss of appetite, spiritual pressure, or financial deficit, I learned that the discipline of God is always consistent. Indeed, he is "not a respecter of persons" (Romans 2:11). Not only is his discipline consistent across the board, for all of his children, so is his reward for their pleasing and faithful behavior. Walking in obedience to his wooing and to his word pays dividends for this life and for eternity (1 Corinthians 3:9-15)! My story is only beginning in this book. Its focus is, indeed, about the phenomenal ways in which Holy Spirit has been the core driver of my life's circumstances and situations. No, not in interfering with my "free will," but using my life circumstances and choices to influence his sovereign will and plan for me. Indeed, he knows the plans he has for me which are to give me a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11). Though that verse was directed specifically to the children of Israel, it can certainly be generalized as applicable to all of us. My desire, above all, is that this book will encourage the hopeless. But it is also my desire to emphasize that God is not our genie, Santa Claus, or slot machine. If we choose to walk in willful perpetual disobedience, the consequences are punishments, not rewards. I learned that truth the "hard way!"
Download or read book The Day You Begin written by Jacqueline Woodson and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2018-08-28 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! Featured in its own episode in the Netflix original show Bookmarks: Celebrating Black Voices! National Book Award winner Jacqueline Woodson and two-time Pura Belpré Illustrator Award winner Rafael López have teamed up to create a poignant, yet heartening book about finding courage to connect, even when you feel scared and alone. There will be times when you walk into a room and no one there is quite like you. There are many reasons to feel different. Maybe it's how you look or talk, or where you're from; maybe it's what you eat, or something just as random. It's not easy to take those first steps into a place where nobody really knows you yet, but somehow you do it. Jacqueline Woodson's lyrical text and Rafael López's dazzling art reminds us that we all feel like outsiders sometimes-and how brave it is that we go forth anyway. And that sometimes, when we reach out and begin to share our stories, others will be happy to meet us halfway. (This book is also available in Spanish, as El Día En Que Descubres Quién Eres!)
