Book excerpt: My journey on the path to spiritual enlightenment began at a very young age—at the age of one and a half. I was violently thrust into the arena of good and bad, violent and nonviolent. In order to cope with the violence in my life, I connected with my source. Outwardly, I was a happy-go-lucky child, while inwardly, I was trying to rationalize and trying to understand how a person, like my father, who walked the earth, could grow into a monster—because for the most part, we all start out as good human beings. There are some cases where a soul is born with an evil predisposition, but for the most part, people start out good and the environment they are born into plays a large role in shaping the person they ultimately become.

Download or read book From Appalachia to South of the Border written by Judy Gray Johnson and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2024-04-10 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The initial reaction after reading this book is to feel sorry for Judy Carol, a little 5 year old black child growing up in the mountains under very challenging circumstances. She is a product of her environment. Her role models in life were not quitters. Money was very scarce. Yet when something ailed them, they got out the ole “home-remedy” playbook( rub down with this or that and then take a spoon full of castor oil) and then you continued what you were doing. Judy Carol displayed a tremendous amount of strength, determination, vision, and responsibility. In spite of the mystery and questions surrounding her constant pain episodes, she never gave up... in spite of.. her accomplishments were many. Throughout her childhood, she had one trusted friend, her sister Linda (18 months her senior) who became her friend, her playmate, her mother, and her protector. The important lesson learned is that when faced with an obstacle, find another solution.

Download or read book Choices written by Francine Baldwin and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2017-08-14 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Back Few people take the risk of sharing their truest selves, their most suppressed feelings, and their most hidden secrets with the world. Francine Baldwin is one of those few. She travels deep into her past to share both her brokenness and triumph and generously offers herself to encourage others.Choices is a necessary work for everyone—those who have experienced hardship and those who haven't—as it demonstrates the power of what God's love can do and how it can transform your life beyond what you can imagine. (Christina McSwain)A choice is an act or instance of choosing, making a selection. In life, we don't always have a choice. Especially as children, we don't have a choice of who our family members are, where we live, what we eat, and sometimes what we wear. Oftentimes, we have no choice or control over whether or not we get sick, lose a family member, or even experience a personal tragedy. However, there comes a time when we are able to make choices. Those choices affect not only us but those we love. Our choices have the ability to make our lives spin out of control and take us to a place of seemingly no return.In her book Choices, Francine Baldwin takes us on a journey recounting memorable events in her life. She tells us of incidents that marked significant changes in her life, many of which she had no choice about or control over. These seemingly unrelated events all affected her in some way, shaping and making her. After experiencing many different things in her life, Pastor Baldwin realizes that we all have choices. We have the ability to choose right or wrong, life or death. She shows us that life is found only in God's Word and doing things God's way. There is no compromising, nor is it dependent upon what someone else does. She reminds us that no matter how difficult, distasteful, or embarrassing it is, God's way is always the best way. He is true to his Word, and He will restore you and everything you thought you lost.Francine Baldwin's transparency in telling her story is remarkable. She honestly discusses matters that we all deal with: marriage, death, personal tragedy, and even our walk with the Lord. Her testimony is one of triumph and victory. She reminds us that we are "more that conquerors through him that loved us." I am truly proud to call Francine Baldwin my sister, and friend (Vivian Penceal).

Download or read book Undaunted written by Zoya Phan and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-05-04 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once a royal kingdom and then part of the British Empire, Burma long held sway in the Western imagination as a mythic place of great beauty. In recent times, Burma has been torn apart and isolated by one of the most brutal dictatorships in the world. Now, Zoya of the, a young member ofthe Karen tribe in Burma, bravely comes forward with her astonishingly vivid story of growing up in the idyllic green mansions of the jungle, and her violent displacement by the military junta that has controlled the country for almost a half century. This same cadre has also relentlessly hunted Zoya and her family across borders and continents. Undaunted tells of Zoya’s riveting adventures, from her unusual childhood in a fascinating remote culture, to her years on the run, to her emergence as an activist icon. Named for a courageous Russian freedom fighter of World War II, Zoya was fourteen when Burmese aircraft bombed her peaceful village, forcing her and her family to flee through the jungles to a refugee camp just over the border in Thailand. After being trapped in refugee camps for years in poverty and despair, her family scattered: as her father became more deeply involved in the struggle for freedom, Zoya and her sister left their mother in the camp to go to a college in Bangkok to which they had won scholarships. But even as she attended classes, Zoya, the girl from the jungle, had to dodge police and assume an urban disguise, as she was technically an illegal immigrant and subject to deportation. Although, following graduation, she obtained a comfortable job with a major communications company in Bangkok, Zoya felt called back to Burma to help her mother and her people, millions of whom still have to live on the run today in order to survive—in fact, more villages have been destroyed in eastern Burma than in Darfur, Sudan. After a plot to kill her was uncovered, in 2004 Zoya escaped to the United Kingdom, where she began speaking at political conferences and demonstrations—a mission made all the more vital by her father’s assassination in 2008 by agents of the Burmese regime. Like Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Zoya has become a powerful spokesperson against oppressors, undaunted by dangers posed to her life. Zoya’s love of her people, their land, and their way of life fuels her determination to survive, and in Undaunted she hauntingly brings to life a lost culture and world, putting faces to the stories of the numberless innocent victims of Burma’s military
