Download or read book The Snare Is Broken written by Bruce D. Hughes and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bruce Hughes is the founder of Broken Snares Unlimited, a ministry for those who have found themselves trapped in one of Satan's snares and therefore deprived of the joy that God had intended for them. He speaks from personal experience and enjoys a new life of freedom after claiming the victory found in Psalms 124:7, "Our soul has escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken and we are escaped." Bruce retired after thirty-six years in the education and human service field. He and his wife Peggy have been married forty-three years and have two adult sons and five grandchildren. Hoping for insight and relief from the lingering effects of abuse, Bruce Hughes watched his world fall apart after being accused of engaging in unlawful online activity. With his pure motives appearing wrongful, Bruce was arrested in a sting operation and charged with possession of child pornography. Overnight, Bruce found himself living in Job's house, suffering loss, terrible heartache, and unfair consequences. His total dependence on God for healing and restoration packs the pages of this book with a powerful testimony. It is certainly evidence of God's loving heart and His mighty ability to break the painful bondages caused by sexual abuse and pornography. Thanks to this author for his enormous service to the Christian and counseling communities working to heal and restore victims of male childhood sexual abuse. It is greatly hoped that God will use this remarkable resource to bring victims out of hiding and into the light of His healing power.

Book excerpt: Has your heart been broken by a cheating husband or cheating wife? Has your life been gripped by the agony of adultery? Has your life been forever changed because of the snare of an emotional affair? Adultery is no small matter, especially for those who experience the intense pain of living with a spouse who breaks the marriage covenant. In the book, Adultery: The Snare of an Affair, June Hunt provides Christian counseling on how to find hope in God. This is more than Christian marriage counseling—it shows how to find healing, hope, and forgiveness after the devastation of an affair. In the first section of Adultery, June defines adultery and reveals the warning signs of adultery, such as change in mood, appearance, spending, etc. She provides practical ways and sound biblical wisdom in answering tough questions, such as— What can I do to ensure that I will be faithful when I feel attracted to someone beside my spouse? My husband had numerous affairs and now wants to reconcile. Should we get back together? Why does anyone get involved in adultery? Is it my fault? Is it wrong to try to find out whether or not my spouse is being unfaithful? If it's not wrong, what is the best way to do so? June illustrates the consequences of adultery by retelling the story of David, a man of God who fell into the temptation of having an affair, which led to guilt-ridden "cover ups" and a strained relationship with God. She goes on to explain the causes, characteristics, and consequences of adultery, such as the— 9 false promises of adultery 9 characteristics of an adulterer 9 common reasons people get sucked into adultery In the section titled, "Steps to Solution," June Hunt explains— How an adulterer can change—for good 6 common mistakes made by the faithful spouse 6 ways the faithful spouse can respond to adultery in a healthy way How to prepare and conduct a crisis intervention

Download or read book Swinglines written by Fernando Benadon and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024-06-07 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The way rhythm is taught in Western classrooms and music lessons is rooted in a centuries-old European approach that favors metric levels within a grand symmetrical grid. Swinglines encourages readers to experience rhythms, even gridded ones, as freewheeling affairs irrespective of the metric hierarchy. It shows that rhythms traditionally framed as "deviations" and "non-isochronous" have their own identities. They are coherent products of precise musical thought and action. Rather than situating them in the neither-here-nor-there, author Fernando Benadon takes a more inclusive view, one where isochrony and metric grids are shown as particular cases within the universe of musical time.
