Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The Fragments of a Broken Life” is an incredibly overwhelming story of an isolated and abused little girl … Leena. These pages reveal an overwhelming, behind the scenes, insight concerning child molestation and rape … family denials … the no-talk rule … and, the cruel and detrimental silence and guilt that is forced upon its victims! Unfolded here, are many painful truths which are, even now, locked away in many homes all across this nation. Read and be enlightened, how “a trusting little girl” might give her body away, making an oath of silence to herself, in order to protect the ones she loves. You’ll see, clearly, how young women who have been physically, emotionally, and sexually abused as little girls could become bitter, vengeful, full of hate, suicidal … and, often incapable of trusting or receiving love from a man. One of the most extraordinary things about Leena’s story is that she chose to raise her beloved, beautiful child who was born out of the molestation committed against her by her stepfather. But, rather than a story of dismay … See for yourself, how Leena experiences the “Hand of God” reaching into the entanglement of her life with all His goodness and mercy. How parent He was, as He drew her to Himself and taught her to “forgive”, in order to be set free! Read how, God never gave up on her … although she’d often given up on herself; and, how He took “The Fragments of a Broken Life” and made her whole again.
Download or read book Fragments from a Mobile Life written by Margaret W. Sullivan and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literary Nonfiction. Starting in China, ending in Virginia, and girdling the equator, Sullivan's mobile life, has been lived in evolving fragments of time and place. Rooted in family, her life spans changes in the post-colonial world and women's lives, told in short, lively stories, some first published as columns in the Huffington Post. "The reader of FRAGMENTS FROM A MOBILE LIFE is carried along on a remarkable journey. You will want to read passages out loud and share with friends and family. Here is a life of adventure, love, and sadness, but always lived to the fullest with keen insight and deep observation. It is an American life, but one that draws on the wonder and variety of the world. Margaret Sullivan evokes the universal while regaling us with the particular. Whether raising children, making friends in a strange place, or planning for a new school amidst the destruction of earthquake and tsunami, each will see a part of him or herself here in the essence of life's experiences. One can read straight through, as I did, although even best perhaps is to browse from subject to subject. Whichever way one begins, I can guarantee you will return often and keep this book well thumbed and handy on the shelf."--Ambassador Robert G. Rich, Jr. US Foreign Service, Ret. "Born in China, a Foreign Service wife in posts around the equator for most of her career, writer and artist Margaret Sullivan possesses a generous and observant eye. This terrific read illustrates how to thrive during fractured times without losing your values or your spirit. I read the chapter 'To Market' and Nigeria appeared before my eyes with all its rich colors and smells. Terrific!"--Norma Watkins "With a fresh voice and a frank look back at 10 countries, 29 homes, and more than 60 years of marriage to a career diplomat, Margaret Sullivan chronicles the contributions of Foreign Service Wives to twentieth-century American public diplomacy. Reminding us that such 'representative families' are unpaid and perhaps unnoticed by the American people, they are at the same time almost always on display. In a tale as pungent and spicy as the food she so lovingly describes, FRAGMENTS FROM A MOBILE LIFE is the story of a life-long love affair with Asia and the wider world."--Dr. Janet Steele

Download or read book WHOLE written by Melissa Moore and published by Rodale Books. This book was released on 2016-09-13 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A five-point plan to usher you through heartache and toward a stronger, healthier place. “I know how to kill someone and get away with it.” The words spoken by her father when Melissa was a teen haunt her to this day. Two years later, after confessing that he was the serial killer nationally known as the Happy Face Killer, Keith Jesperson was arrested for the murder of eight women. The pain, guilt, and shame that followed her father’s conviction stigmatized Melissa for years until she figured out a way to use her emotions as fuel to free herself from self-imposed limits and set out on a journey to rebuild her fragmented life. Through her work as an Emmy-nominated investigative journalist, television host, educator, and advocate, Melissa created WHOLE, a five-step program to better develop her own approach to healing: Watch the Storm, Heal Your Heart, Open Your Mind, Leverage Your Power, and Elevate Your Spirit. Among other things, she found that the commitment to your core values makes all the difference in getting unstuck; that forgiveness gives the greatest chance of making a future not defined by the past; that there is great value in vulnerability; that creativity is essential to living a full life; and that hope is the basis for everything we feel, believe, and do. In each phase of the program, Melissa inspires you to embrace your past to find wholeness within the parts of your life that you believe to be “broken.” If you are stuck in the rut of a painful experience—whether depression, trauma, pain, fear, addiction, or guilt—you will find comfort in this book’s advice, self-evaluation, and action plans. WHOLE is a powerful journey of recovery and awakening that reframes the pain experience so it can be used as a way to invite understanding, growth, and transformation into your life.

Lysa TerKeurst understands this deeply. But she's also discovered that our disappointments can be the divine appointments our souls need to radically encounter God.

Discover the secret of being steadfast and not panicking when God actually does give us more than we can handle.
