This book was released on 2017-05-18 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shine the Light of Truth on Shame is a refreshingly unique book that provides an honest, thorough, easily understood, and insightful program to release us from the pain of shame. Author Barb Tonn shares from a deep well of tools she developed working as a psychotherapist, who for over thirty years specialized in healing shame. The book will appeal to a variety of people: those who have heard of shame and are interested in learning more about it; those who are already working to heal their shame, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, abuse, and adult children issues while in therapy or utilizing self-help and personal growth tools; counselors; people in recovery from addictions; and those who are mindfully and spiritually changing the direction of their lives from one of war to one of peace. The book takes a deep dive into where shame is anchored in our lives and world and then presents solutions for creating a new paradigm for living that is held in love instead of shame. It provides powerful techniques for healing shame, personal stories to demonstrate the shame/rage loop and how to release from it, and 365 days of reflections and meditations to help release us from the grip of shame. The daily format provides interventions that can easily be integrated into one's daily life, a step at a time. As readers move through the year of daily interventions, they are brought more deeply into the healing of shame. By day 365 readers have a working program for intervening on shame that can be easily utilized for the rest of their lives. Author Barb Tonn has been in recovery from shame and addictions for close to forty years. She is able to address many of the needs of the recovering and 12-Step community, as well as the community at large. She speaks to many of the needs of recovering individuals that often go unaddressed and greatly impact the quality of their recovering lives. The author deeply believes that unaddressed shame is the greatest cause of relapse in people healing from eating disorders, sexual addiction, substance abuse, codependency, gambling addiction, alcoholism, workaholism and other addictions. This unresolved shame prevents the individual from achieving the peace that is possible and desirable in recovery. Shine the Light of Truth on Shame is a powerful journey out of shame and into peace. The author shares her 30 years of experience working with clients in healing their shame as well as 40 years of healing. Her personal sharing helps the reader feel the love and peace that is possible when shame is brought into healing.

Download or read book Lead the Way written by Elaine Elkins and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2018-02-14 with total page 809 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Judging by the popularity of do-it-yourself and self-help materials on the market today, society seems to be on an endless quest for purpose and satisfaction. Wanting to be the best versions of ourselves is a noble yet time- and resource- consuming pursuit. People have often said, “If only I had an owner’s manual for life . . .” We do: The Holy Bible. But who has the time to weed through that sizable book for the answers to life’s questions? Lead the Way: Following the Words and Examples of Jesus in Leading the Charge Toward Positive Cultural Change hopes to simplify the process for you. A 366-day study devotional and discipleship tool, LTW focuses on the teachings of Jesus to help the modern-day Christian navigate the myriad choice-points we all face daily. Each day, LTW hones in on a particular character trait, attitude, or expected response Jesus is highlighting in the day’s red-lettered text or larger passage. With that in mind, LTW then provides historical, political, cultural, and religious information pertaining to the day’s scripture: the setting, the audience, the response. From there, the reader is offered current-day examples and illustrations of how Jesus’ words and teachings apply to us today. The final two sections of each day’s study are where the rubber meets the road, so to speak. This is where learning moves from the head to the heart, and then from the heart to the hands and feet. Stepping In offers suggestions for further reflection through thought-provoking questions, prayer prompts, or scriptures to meditate on. Stepping Out provides ideas for how to put faith into tangible action. As followers of Jesus, we are commanded to take to heart the message of our Savior’s teachings and continue the movement he gave his life to promote. Lead the way that others may follow!

Book excerpt: "We are a servant of the divine. You also a servant of the divine. We only know a little more of what it means to be that, than the average person knows. All you need is to want to know what it means to be what one is. You have to have the desire to learn who one is through tools of spiritual progress. All of these things lead one to automatic reward. All truth is revealed only at the request of the hearer. No one can ever reveal any truth-no guide, no god, no anything-without your desire." The Divine Relationship is the culmination of years of spiritual teacher Eon's talks and writings on the subjects of God, guidance, spirituality and our human relationship to all of these. Eon always brings the conversation back to the biggest picture of all: our divinity within our humanity. This book contains the heart and essence of Eon's spiritual teachings.

Download or read book Be the Bridge written by Latasha Morrison and published by WaterBrook. This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • ECPA BESTSELLER • “When it comes to the intersection of race, privilege, justice, and the church, Tasha is without question my best teacher. Be the Bridge is THE tool I wish to put in every set of hands.”—Jen Hatmaker WINNER OF THE CHRISTIAN BOOK AWARD® • Winner of the Christianity Today Book Award • A leading advocate for racial reconciliation calls Christians to move toward deeper understanding in the midst of a divisive culture. In an era where we seem to be increasingly divided along racial lines, many are hesitant to step into the gap, fearful of saying or doing the wrong thing. At times the silence, particularly within the church, seems deafening. But change begins with an honest conversation among a group of Christians willing to give a voice to unspoken hurts, hidden fears, and mounting tensions. These ongoing dialogues have formed the foundation of a global movement called Be the Bridge—a nonprofit organization whose goal is to equip the church to have a distinctive and transformative response to racism and racial division. In this perspective-shifting book, founder Latasha Morrison shows how you can participate in this incredible work and replicate it in your own community. With conviction and grace, she examines the historical complexities of racism. She expertly applies biblical principles, such as lamentation, confession, and forgiveness, to lay the framework for restoration. Along with prayers, discussion questions, and other resources to enhance group engagement, Be the Bridge presents a compelling vision of what it means for every follower of Jesus to become a bridge builder—committed to pursuing justice and racial unity in light of the gospel.

Even though your blessings may delayed I believe in my heart they your blessings won't be denied. Abundance and blessings are on the way! In Jesus Name.
