Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mid Life Crisis: that period when growing dissatisfactions lead to inevitable questions about the sustainability of our present place in the World and usually accompanied by a sudden encounter with the concept of our own mortality, can lead to a frightening conclusion - "Is this it...?!" Is this ME for the rest of my life...?! The rigours of this time - highly painful periods of personal re-evaluation and an uncompromising test of our true values - can leave us running aground in shallow waters of despair unless we have map and compass. This book provides both. Its world map helps the reader to understand his place in it and the coaching tools provide an opportunity to plot a route home -wherever that might be now. By the end of the book, the world will be a smaller and less frightening place as you find not just a path to understanding yourself better, but also the courage to express yourself authentically and with purpose.

Download or read book Shielded by God S Power written by Ivy Christian and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2017-07-11 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Domestic violence as defined by the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence as the willful intimidation, physical assault, battery, sexual assault, or other abusive behavior that is used to overpower and control another person. Domestic violence takes on many forms, both visible and hidden. And according to studies, it affects one person every twenty seconds. Domestic violence is not a new problem in America, but one that has sadly existed for decades. And while the majority of victims are female, domestic violence knows no income bracket, demographic, age, race, or religion; domestic violence occurs in every facet of society. Despite the many groups working to help victims of domestic abuse, the problems persist. Domestic violence is more commonly seen in situations where someone (the abuser) believes that behaviors such as physical, verbal, emotional, religious, sexual, or economical abuse is acceptable and justifiable. Adding to the perceived justification of abuse is the victims inability to see the denigrating acts as abuse. Then when they do identify the problem, they feel trapped by their circumstancesbe it due to fear, lack of funds, poor physical, or various psychological issuesand are unable to leave the situation. More disturbing than the obvious problems of domestic abuse is that there have been connections made between domestic violencespecifically sexual abuse in childrenand satanic influences/forces. This type of abuse is referred to as satanic ritual abuse (SRA). The abuses suffered due to satanic influences are often more severe forms of physical and sexual abuse, especially in the form of child pornography, prostitution, and being used for snuff films. These abuse victims are often so brainwashed that they dont dare speak out. And while there are those who would like to ignore the connections between abuse and satanic forces, the fact remains that abuse is not something promoted in scripture! The believer is told to care for the helpless and to lift up the fallen, not knock them down and beat them up. In homes where children are abused, they often grow up to become adults who struggle with relationships, authority figures, and problem-solving. Worse, abused children often become adult abusers, thus perpetuating the problem. Studies have also found that children who see their mother abused are more likely to develop PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder). Also interesting is that there is now a correlation between childhood domestic violence and adult health conditions like arthritis, ischemic heart disease (IHD), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), liver disease, irritable bowel syndrome, chronic pain, pelvic pain, ulcers, and migraines. Psychological challenges include depression, severe anxiety panic attacks, and a feeling of worthlessness. As you read Ivys story, you will discover that she could easily be the poster child for domestic violence. She spent fifteen years living in a situation where mental, physical, emotional, and sexual abuse was part of her daily life. She then entered a marriage that ultimately, albeit differently, was more of the same. But Ivys story does not end as it began. She heard about a Savior who loved her unconditionally. And while initially Ivy did not understand her Saviors love, in time, she learned the meaning of real love and acceptance. As you read her story, you will see how she looked and worked to eventually overcome the challenges brought on by domestic abuse. If you have been abused or know someone who is or has been in an abusive situation, then Ivys story can help. It will provide hope and help as you see that while domestic abuse is horrific, there is One who can overcome the hold abuse has on a persons life. Dont let abuse keep you or a loved one from enjoying life. Take the step now to begin the first day of the rest of your life. Metadata: Surviving domestic violence does not come easy. Shielded by Gods Power reminds us that domestic violence can be overcome by real love.

Book excerpt: a deeply probing book that gets to the heart of what all healthy romantic relationships need: fairness Most couples enter marriage hoping it will last forever-so why are more and more relationships failing? As Dr. B. Janet Hibbs explains, the key to solving most relationship problems-whether relating to money, children, chores, sex, or in-laws-is through a shared sense of fairness. Intuitively, we think we know what's "fair." But as this book reveals, the way we each understand fairness is much more complex, and is powerfully shaped by our family expectations and experiences. Dr. Hibbs provides readers with a road map for recognizing imbalances and building a stronger, more loving relationship based on a new kind of fairness. Filled with compassion, practical advice, and compelling, real-life examples throughout, this book offers a groundbreaking understanding of the issues that divide couples over time-and how they can be happier and closer than ever.
