Download or read book A Walk Through Tears written by Dot Roberts and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-04-10 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1961, Dot and Elias Roberts welcomed the birth of their only son, Ricky. Yet, as Ricky entered this world, Satan launched a conspiracy against the Roberts' family. From infancy Ricky suffered a host of medical problems. He experienced frequent convulsions, temporary paralysis, borderline nervous breakdowns, and was diagnosed with severe mental retardation and dyslexia. The public school system turned a blind eye to Ricky's disabilities and passed him from grade to grade even though he couldn't read a word. At night Dot heard her son ask God to heal him. In the morning, she'd find his pillow wet with tears. Frustrated and determined to help her son, Dot had Ricky tested and hired tutors, but to no avail. Ricky could not learn. She pulled him from public school and placed him in a special education class at a private Christian school where he remained until he was sixteen years old. Over the Christmas break in 1977, Ricky attended a tent revival meeting with his parents in Jacksonville, FL. The preacher called Ricky up to the platform and told him, "If your mother will stand on faith and put you in the tenth grade, God will fill in the foundation!" Sixteen-year-old Ricky instantly felt light flooding the dark tunnel of his mind. The next day, Dot called up the school, screaming, "The Lord has healed my boy! Put him in the tenth grade!" The school agreed to have Ricky tested and found he had knowledge of subjects to which he had never been exposed. The school permitted him to enroll in tenth-grade classes on a trial basis. Ricky not only excelled in his studies, he soon began tutoring some of the mainstream students who had once mocked him. In 1981 Ricky graduated with honors near the top of his class. Ricky's healing was complete and instantaneous. To this day, he has kept what God graciously gave him. Today, Dr. Ricky Roberts has several earned doctorate degrees, and a Ph.D. in Old Testament Studies. He graduated summa cum laude with a 4.00 GPA. Ricky is the founder of True Light Ministries, a teaching and healing ministry based in Jacksonville, Florida, and Douglas, Georgia. Behind Dr. Roberts' incredible healing is the story of his mother's anguish, despair, and steely faith. Walk alongside Dot Roberts as she wades through the family tragedies and chaos that Satan used to try and derail her faith and steal God's promises. O eyes, no eyes, but fountains fraught with tears; O life, no life, but lively form of death. -Thomas Kyd

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heartwarming and Heart-Opening Stories Gathered from Decades of Medical Practice Bernie Siegel first wrote about miracles when he was a practicing surgeon and founded Exceptional Cancer Patients, a groundbreaking synthesis of group, individual, dream, and art therapy that provided patients with a “carefrontation.” Compiled during his more than thirty years of practice, speaking, and teaching, the stories in these pages are riveting, warm, and belief expanding. Their subjects include a girl whose baby brother helped her overcome anorexia, a woman whose cancer helped her heal by teaching her to stand up for herself, and a family that was saved from a burning house by bats. Without diminishing the reality of pain and hardship, the stories show real people turning crisis into blessing by responding to adversity in ways that empower and heal. They demonstrate what we are capable of and show us that we can achieve miracles as we confront life’s difficulties.

Download or read book Miracle Marks written by Purvi Shah and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 2019-06-15 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her second full-length poetry collection, Miracle Marks, activist Purvi Shah charts women’s status through pointed explorations of Hindu iconography and philosophy and powerful critiques of American racism. In these searing, revelatory poems, Shah reminds us that surviving birth as an infant girl and living as a woman is miraculous—as such, every girl is a miracle mark. And because education is often denied to girls, writing by women is a miracle. In Miracle Marks, Shah probes belonging, devotion, and social inequity, delving into what it means to be a woman, and what it means to be. Through sound energy and white space, these poems chart multiple realities, including the miracles of women’s labors and survivals. This collection spurs dialogue across audiences and communities and lights a way for brown girls and women who relish in spirit, intellect, politics, and justice.

Download or read book Looking for a Miracle written by Joe Nickell and published by Prometheus Books. This book was released on 2009-12-02 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The willingness of people to believe in magical icons, mystical relics, and miraculous pictures (like the Image of Guadalupe) is almost as curious as these phenomena themselves. Though they cry out for scientific investigation, millions of people blindly accept them as fact. Historical and paranormal investigator Joe Nickell confronts such strange events, powers, and objects as the Shroud of Turin, bleeding or weeping statues, burning handprints, liquefying blood, ecstatic visions, miraculous cures, and people speaking in tongues in Looking for a Miracle. Departing from standard critiques of religion, Nickell carefully investigates the evidence relating to specific claims. Religious believers and rationalists alike have much to learn from this revealing examination of the evidence for the miraculous.
Download or read book Beneath the Miracle written by Frederic C. Deyo and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1989-01-01 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important study examines the dynamics of the remarkable economic transformation of South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, which has been based in large measure on the production of manufactured goods for export. The competitive edge of these countries has in turn been rooted in the mobilization of a low-cost, disciplined, and productive workforce. This study seeks therefore to explain how East Asian governments and employers have attempted to manage this workforce. It also explores the extent to which workers are able to challenge management decisions and insert working-class agendas into public policy. Beneath the Miracle moves beyond current explanations for the weakness of East Asian labor movements which emphasize Confucianist culture, material welfare gains, and political repression. It shows that the organizational capacity of workers has been more fundamentally undercut first by the nature of emergent East Asian employment systems, and second by the sequencing of developmental change, with political controls preceding rapid industrialization and preempting political and union organization of the growing industrial workforce. Deyo undertakes an incisive cross-national comparison of employment systems and explores anomalous situations, such as that in Hong Kong, where labor is politically weak even under minimal state controls, and that in South Korea, where labor is in a stronger position despite far stricter regulation. Beneath the Miracle offers a fresh and compelling comparative analysis of Asian labor movements which could lead to a reassessment of many other developmental issues in East Asia. In his probing examination, Deyo provides an important and exciting contribution to the literature in this field.

Book excerpt: Quit playing it safe and start running toward the roar! Now available for the first time in a convenient paperback edition and featuring a brand new group discussion guide. When the image of a man-eating beast travels through the optic nerve and into the visual cortex, the brain sends the body a simple but urgent message: run away! That’s what normal people do, but not lion chasers. Rather than seeing a five-hundred-pound problem, they see an opportunity for God to show up and show His power. Chase the Lion is more than a catch phrase; it’s a radically different approach to life. It’s only when we stop fearing failure that we can fully seize opportunity by the mane. With grit and gusto, New York Times best-selling author Mark Batterson delivers a bold message to everyone with a big dream. This is a wake-up call to stop living as if the purpose of life was to simply arrive safely at death. Our dreams should scare us. They should be so big that without God they would be impossible to achieve. Quit running away from what you’re afraid of. Chase the lion! Change the world! What is your five-hundred-pound dream? In this highly anticipated sequel to his best-selling In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day, Mark Batterson invites lion chasers everywhere to chase dreams so impossible that victory demands we face our fears, defy the odds, and hold tight to God. These are the kind of dreams that will make you a bigger person and the world a better place. Based upon 2 Samuel 23, Chase the Lion tells the true story of an ancient warrior named Benaiah who chased a lion into a pit on a snowy day—and then killed it. For most people, that situation wouldn’t just be a problem…it would be the last problem they ever faced. For Benaiah, it was an opportunity to step into his destiny. After defeating the lion, he landed his dream job as King David’s bodyguard and eventually became commander-in-chief of Israel’s army under King Solomon. Written in a way that both challenges and encourages, this revolutionary book will help unleash the faith and courage you need to identify, chase, and catch the five-hundred-pound dreams in your life.

Download or read book Tears to Triumph written by Marianne Williamson and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2016-06-14 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heal by embracing your pain with #1 New York Times bestselling author Marianne Williamson – preorder her latest, The Mystic Jesus, picking up where A Return to Love left off The internationally recognized teacher, speaker, and New York Times bestselling author of A Return to Love argues that our desire to avoid pain is actually detrimental to our lives, disconnecting us from our deepest emotions and preventing true healing and spiritual transcendence. Marianne Williamson is a bestselling author, world-renowned teacher, and one of the most important spiritual voices of our time. In Tears to Triumph, she argues that we—as a culture and as individuals—have learned to avoid facing pain. By doing so, we are neglecting the spiritual work of healing. Instead of allowing ourselves to embrace our hurt, we numb it, medicate it, dismiss it, or otherwise divert our attention so that we never have to face it. In refusing to acknowledge our suffering, we actually prolong it and deny ourselves the opportunity for profound wisdom—ultimately limiting our personal growth and opportunity for enlightenment. Frozen by denial, we are left standing in the breech. Whole industries profit from this immobility, and while they have grown rich, we have become spiritually poorer. As Marianne makes clear, true healing and transcendence can only come when we finally face our pain and wrestle with what it has to teach us. Written with warm compassion and profound wisdom, Tears to Triumph offers us a powerful way forward through the pain, to a deeper awareness of our feelings, our lives, and our true selves.
