Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was a thunderous and stormy summer day in the Northern Rivers of Australia when Grace Harris found herself fighting for her life after a simple medical procedure turned fatal due to an accidental anaesthesia overdose. A successful career woman and single mother of two, Grace travelled the world with her children and enjoyed the privileges that financial security brings. On the outside, her life resembled the quintessential modern household full of excitement and abundance. But on the inside, Grace secretly suffered from high functioning depression and chronic anxiety, stemming from her life in Southern Philippines when at the age of six, she was abandoned by her mother to live amongst relatives, where she grew up sexually, emotionally, and psychologically abused. She suppressed her trauma so deeply in an effort to create a loving life that she had always longed for. In doing so, Grace's suppression of her demons resulted to a vicious cycle of self-sabotage, by attracting abusive relationships that resemble the ones she had grown up in. On that fateful day in 2013, while coughing and spluttering blood on the hospital bed, and as the doctors tried to bring her to life from her overdue slumber, Grace was faced by her mortality. The realisation that she was so close to death gave her a raw insight on how she had chosen to live her life so far. For the first time, a gripping true story about the repercussions of unaddressed trauma, and the epidemic child abandonment in the Philippines, is written. Become The Woman of Your Dreams is a true story of healing from the inside. The decision to win the war, instead of simply fighting the battles, was a pivotal moment in Grace's life. From there, she traced her steps backwards and faced all the pain and suffering that created the woman she was; and then she mapped out a bold pathway to become the woman of her dreams. This book will take you through a journey of healing through unapologetic stories of pain, pleasure, adventures, life and death, and then the ultimate gift of finding inner joy and fearless self-love.

Download or read book By the Grace of the Game written by Dan Grunfeld and published by Triumph Books. This book was released on 2021-11-30 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A multi-generational family epic detailing history's only known journey from Auschwitz to the NBA When Lily and Alex entered a packed gymnasium in Queens, New York in 1972, they barely recognized their son. The boy who escaped to America with them, who was bullied as he struggled to learn English and cope with family tragedy, was now a young man who had discovered and secretly honed his basketball talent on the outdoor courts of New York City. That young man was Ernie Grunfeld, who would go on to win an Olympic gold medal and reach previously unimaginable heights as an NBA player and executive. In By the Grace of the Game, Dan Grunfeld, once a basketball standout himself at Stanford University, shares the remarkable story of his family, a delicately interwoven narrative that doesn't lack in heartbreak yet remains as deeply nourishing as his grandmother's Hungarian cooking, so lovingly described. The true improbability of the saga lies in the discovery of a game that unknowingly held the power to heal wounds, build bridges, and tie together a fractured Jewish family. If the magnitude of an American dream is measured by the intensity of the nightmare that came before and the heights of the triumph achieved after, then By the Grace of the Game recounts an American dream story of unprecedented scale. From the grips of the Nazis to the top of the Olympic podium, from the cheap seats to center stage at Madison Square Garden, from yellow stars to silver spoons, this complex tale traverses the spectrum of the human experience to detail how perseverance, love, and legacy can survive through generations, carried on the shoulders of a simple and beautiful game.

Download or read book Blue Sky Dream written by David Beers and published by Doubleday. This book was released on 2012-05-02 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Blue Sky Dream: A Memoir of America’s Fall from Grace, award-winner David Beers offers a powerful, personal vision of the rise and fall of the American middle class. Here is a dazzling literary chronicle of a family, a people, and a nation: the “blue sky tribe” of ever-optimistic middle-class Americans who believed in something called the American Dream, then woke up one day to discover it was gone. Blue Sky Dream is a book incredibly rich in ideas, in ways of seeing the recent past with stunning clarity. David Beers explores issues that define our times—downsizing, middle-class anxiety, the profound anger with government, the sense that something has gone awry with the United States—with such skill, personal immediacy, and compassion that readers will see their own histories in his prose. Blue Sky Dream can rightly be called a communal memoir, because in telling his family’s tale—growing tensions and disillusionment in their suburban paradise, a son rejecting his parents’ values, one sudden and inexplicable moment of violence—Beers tells the story of his people, the blue sky tribe “who imagined ourselves to be living the inevitable future, and are very surprised today to discover we were but a strange and aberrant moment that is now receding into history.”

Download or read book The Grace of It All written by F. Dean Lueking and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2006-12-27 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an invitation to a conversation on the pastoral life from one of America's most respected clergy. Dean Lueking shares the fruits and foibles of his 50 years in parish minstry, 44 of them in the same congregation, Grace Lutheran in River Forest, Illinois. A lively storyteller, Lueking writes as the wise friend and colleague every pastor would hope to have. He gives life to a truth many congregational leaders will recognize: a congregation never stands still but is at once new and old, vexing and inspiring, lively and dull. It is life-giving year after year, in quiet moments and in open view. Lueking writes out of gratitude for the colleagues in ministry who over the years offered him a listening ear and an understanding heart. His words affirm what pastors are already doing while sparking dialogue about his suggestions and provoking new insights and understanding. This volume offers a glimpse of a larger vision for one's life and ministry that comes not from within but from God. Lueking joins theological reflection with the realities of congregation and community. Recalling the spiritual and intellectual exchanges with other authors that have enriched him throughout his ministry, he offers encouragement to all who serve congregations.

Book excerpt: Dreams from God: A Glimpse of the Future by God’s Grace weaves together words and photographs to recount the spiritual journey of Susan C. McDermott as she recounts the dreams she received from God. These dreams moved her to embark on a path that brought her to encounter unusual and fantastic adventures, to endure devastating heartaches, and to enjoy miraculous moments. In the course of her personal narrative, the author reveals the details of her simple lifestyle, the impressions of her dreams from God, and her visions of the future and God’s plan for her. While the specifics of this journey arise from one particular life, Dreams from God illustrates how God touches individuals and changes them to suit His purposes. The author notes this in her Preface, writing, “There is something mysterious about the way God works. Through His means of grace, He enters your life at a moment’s notice through a thought, a dream, or an audible voice.” Dreams from God: A Glimpse of the Future by God’s Grace promises to immerse you in the details of one woman’s life. At the same time, it makes and keeps a second promise. When you read Dreams from God, you will hear a witness to His grace that reminds you that He can and will pour out that grace in your life as well. This is the source of this memoir’s spiritual power to inspire and motivate others to catch the glimpses God offers of the future.

Download or read book The Grace of Destruction written by Elena del R�o and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For Elena del R�o, extreme cinema is not only qualitatively different from the representations of violence we encounter in popular, mainstream cinema; it also constitutes a critique of the socio-moral system that produces (in every sense of the word) such violence. Drawing inspiration from Deleuze's ethics of immanence, Spinoza's ethology of passions and Nietzsche's typology of forces, The Grace of Destruction examines the affective extremities common in much of global, contemporary cinema from the affirmative perspective of vital forces and situations-extremities such as moral/religious oppression, biopolitical violence, the pain involved in gender relations, the event of death and planetary extinction. Her analysis diverges from the current literature on extreme cinema through its selection of films, which include key international examples, and through its foregrounding of relational, affective politics over representations of sexuality and graphic violence. Detailed formal and philosophical analyses of films like The White Ribbon, Dogville, Code Unknown, Battle in Heaven, Sonatine, Fireworks, Dolls, Takeshis', Inland Empire and Melancholia are meant to move us away from the moral appraisal of violence and destruction, and to compose an ethological philosophy of cinema based on Deleuze's idea that, ?when truth and judgment crumble, there remain bodies, which are... nothing but forces.?
