Download or read book Surviving On Broken Pieces written by S. Renee Brown and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2018-08-06 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a message for those who are broken, for those who have lost hope, and those who are trying to find their way. In the pages of this book, you will see a mirrored reflection and an instant replay of a not-so-favorite movie entitled "YOU!" As you begin to read through the pages, you'll find that there is someone else like you: someone who has been broken, whose life had been torn apart, whose heart was unable to forgive. A person who had not been able to truly love, not even herself, because of the hurt, bitterness, and anger that comes from a broken life. If you are marred by the situations of your past, if your circumstances have you so confused that you don't know which way to turn, if your heart has been broken and you can't seem to mend it, then you are not alone. I was that person who felt like all hope was gone. I felt like no one cared if I lived or died. My emotions were all over the place at times because all I really wanted was someone who would love me. After years of searching, I was introduced to Jesus, and the broken pieces were mended back together. Truly, my life has taken on a new beginning. God gave me a new day just when I thought it was all over, that all hope was gone. I saw myself as a broken glass, shattered, spread out into tiny pieces, I began to pray, to cry out to God to let it all be over: "I can't take it any more Lord. It's so hard. It's too much to bear," as I sobbed tearfully, asking God to take the pain away, to take me away! It was at that time that God let me know it wasn't time for departure, but it was time for restoration. God stepped in. He took those broken, shattered pieces of my life, put them back together, and restored purpose to my life.

Download or read book The Broken and the Whole written by Charles S. Sherman and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-03-11 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A wise, uplifting memoir about a rabbi’s search for understanding and his discovery of hope and joy after his young son suffered a catastrophic brain-stem stroke: “Deeply moving, extraordinarily thought-provoking, and entirely humane” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). As a young, ambitious rabbi at one of New York’s largest synagogues, Charles Sherman had high expectations for what his future would hold—a happy and healthy family, professional success, and recognition. Then, early one morning in 1986, everything changed. His son Eyal spiked a fever and was soon in serious respiratory distress. Doctors discovered a lesion on the four-year-old’s brain stem. Following high-risk surgery, Eyal suffered a stroke. Sherman and his wife later learned that their son would never walk, talk, feed himself, or breathe on his own again—yet his mind was entirely intact. He was still the curious, intelligent boy they had always known. The ground had shifted beneath the Sherman family’s feet, yet over the next thirty years, they were able to find comfort, pleasure, and courage in one another, their community, their faith, and in the love they shared. The experience pointed Rabbi Sherman toward the answers of some of life’s biggest questions: To what lengths should parents go to protect their children? How can we maintain faith in God when tragedy occurs? Is it possible to experience joy alongside continuing heartbreak? Now, with deep insight, refreshing honesty, humor, and intelligence, Charles Sherman reflects back on his life and describes his struggle to address and ultimately answer these questions. The Broken and the Whole “inspirationally sets forth how to survive in the face of calamity” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) beautifully showing what it means to embrace life after everything you’ve known has been shattered to pieces.

Download or read book Shattered written by Bryan Dixon and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2021-10-28 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is the trying seasons of our lives that really test our character and reveals what we’re made of. This cliche motivational tag line sounds all well and good until you’re actually in the middle of that season and feel like giving up. In this nonfiction account, Bryan Dixon reveals how the trying seasons of our lives are extremely personal and thus very dissimilar to anyone else’s. However, the spiritual, psychological, and emotional damage that surfaces as a result of it, often remains constant. It was the trying season of his life that Bryan thought would break him and maybe even his family, that he realized that the pain caused by such seasons are directly related to the matters of our hearts. In this, he claims that for the first time in his life he pursued God not because it was the right Christian thing to do, but out of genuine need and desperation. Bryan concluded that so many of our trying seasons are directly related to the actions of others. If this is the case, the only path to healing from these seasons of trials is something that Christians claim we do consistently when in reality it goes against our very human nature, forgiveness. When you can reflect back on the Shattered seasons of your life with a spiritual lens, you will discover the truth, that God truly does use our broken pieces.

She finally realized that through all those troublesome times, God was with her even when she did not know it.
