Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How many times have we read bible stories about individuals who were hurting, wounded, lost, disappointed or distressed? Circumstances such as adultery, murder, betrayal, incest, sickness and disease left these people broken. Yet, when they became desperate enough to have a little faith all Jesus had to do was speak a word and they were made whole. How long did it take? Many times because they had a change of heart and mind about past hurts and failures their healing was instant. I was dying a slow death. I was wounded in my mind, body and spirit and didn''''t even know it. Those who know me knew something was wrong. I didn''''t look or feel the same. I was grew sick and my hair was falling out in lumps. My self-esteem was at an all time low. There was no life in me. I died to live again. No, I wasn''''t rushed to the emergency room. Nor do I claim to have seen the light like some people have experienced. The world''''s greatest physician could not have brought me back to life. So what happened to me? I became desperate for God. Nothing else and no one else would do. I realized I couldn''''t fix my problems. What seemed like positive changes only lasted for a short while. I needed God''''s divine intervention. I let go and let God. Are you or someone you know in desperate need of healing? Do you still find yourself haunted by memories of your past? Are you angry, bitter or suffering from anxiety or depression? You don''''t have to lick your wounds or remain crippled by your past. If you are ready to open your heart and mind to healing, God can heal you. I may have some scars, but I''m totally healed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discovering My Scars is a moving account of a young woman’s struggle with unexplained depression that leads her to cope with self-injury. One dramatic day in her college dorm, self-injury lands her in the surreal world of a psych ward for 74 hours.

Download or read book SCARS The Roadmap to the Soul A Pastoral Reflection written by Maxine Lloyd and published by ML Ministries. This book was released on 2021-10-28 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DISCOVERING LIFE PURPOSE-AN ELUSIVE AND UNCERTAIN JOURNEY. Discovering your life purpose is often an elusive and uncertain journey. I believe there are people who live most of their life and never discover their purpose. I continuously ask myself what is the meaning behind the adversity I often face; and, why do bad things have to happen to me? The more I looked for meaning and answers it seemed the more trouble I found. In spite of the trouble I found, I was always resilient to bounce back. I would take the lemon and make lemonade and stones cast at me became stepping stones that escalated me high above my enemies. This was all part of God's plan for my life. My purpose was to experience sorrow, suffering, and pain so that I could know without a shadow of a doubt that it was God alone that would deliver me. It was through these trials that I found my purpose and meaning of life in service to God and the world. THE SHAPING OF A LOVE STORY. Pastor Maxine discusses her personal life experiences as eyewitness accounts of how her bio-psychosocial, spiritual, and political formation steeped in trauma propelled her into a career of helping relationships as a Pastoral Counselor. Her story about scars is how an epigenetic view of traumatic experiences can shape a love story that leads to the discovery of life purpose and meaning. Understanding and embracing life's most challenging experiences make the difference between resilience and despair. Jesus' life as narrated in the bible is the epitome of a life lived in shame and suffering. Yet, He gave His life as a ransom for many that others could live life and live it more abundantly. This is the story of my life purpose and destiny. If I can help somebody along the way, then I will know my living was not in vain. - Pastor Maxine

Book excerpt: A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.

Download or read book The Way of Abundance written by Ann Voskamp and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2018-03-13 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do you do when you wake up and feel like you're not enough for your life? Or when you look out the kitchen window as dusk falls and wonder how do you live when life keeps breaking your heart? As Ann Voskamp writes, “great grief isn't meant to fit inside your body. It's why your heart breaks.” And each of us holds enough brokenness to overflow—to be given as the greatest story of our lives. In sixty vulnerably soulful stories, The Way of Abundance moves from self-weary brokenness to Christ-focused givenness. Drawing from the critically acclaimed, New York Times bestseller The Broken Way and Ann's online essays, this devotional dares us to embrace brokenness as a gift that moves us to givenness as a way to draw closer to the heart of God. Christ Himself broke like bread, giving Himself to us so we might have a lifelong communion with Him. Could it be that our brokenness is also a gift to the world? This gentle but exquisitely profound book does nothing less than take you on an intimate journey of the soul. As Ann writes, "The wound in His side proves that Jesus is always on the side of the suffering, the wounded, the busted, the broken." Discover how surrendering in unexpected ways is the first step toward receiving what you long for. Discover the good news that your beauty is not in your strength but in your fragility. Discover why your healing shines radiant through your wounds—and how only in brokenness will you ever be whole—and find the way to the abundance you were meant for.

Book excerpt: *New York Times Bestseller* Not one thing in your life is more important than figuring out how to live in the face of unspoken pain. New York Times bestselling author of One Thousand Gifts Ann Voskamp sits at the edge of her life and all of her own unspoken brokenness and asks: What if you really want to live abundantly before it's too late? What do you do if you really want to know abundant wholeness? This is the one begging question that's behind every single aspect of our lives--and one that The Broken Way rises up to explore in the most unexpected ways. This one's for the lovers and the sufferers. For those whose hopes and dreams and love grew so large it broke their willing hearts. This one's for the busted ones who are ready to bust free, the ones ready to break molds, break chains, break measuring sticks, and break all this bad brokenness with an unlikely good brokenness. You could be one of the Beloved who is broken--and still lets yourself be loved. You could be one of them, one who believes freedom can be found not only beyond the fear and pain, but actually within it. You could discover and trust this broken way--the way to not be afraid of broken things.
