The Broken and the Whole
Author: Charles S. Sherman
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1451656246
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
A wise, uplifting memoir about a rabbi’s search for understanding and his discovery of hope and joy after his young son suffered a catastrophic brain-stem stroke: “Deeply moving, extraordinarily thought-provoking, and entirely humane” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). As a young, ambitious rabbi at one of New York’s largest synagogues, Charles Sherman had high expectations for what his future would hold—a happy and healthy family, professional success, and recognition. Then, early one morning in 1986, everything changed. His son Eyal spiked a fever and was soon in serious respiratory distress. Doctors discovered a lesion on the four-year-old’s brain stem. Following high-risk surgery, Eyal suffered a stroke. Sherman and his wife later learned that their son would never walk, talk, feed himself, or breathe on his own again—yet his mind was entirely intact. He was still the curious, intelligent boy they had always known. The ground had shifted beneath the Sherman family’s feet, yet over the next thirty years, they were able to find comfort, pleasure, and courage in one another, their community, their faith, and in the love they shared. The experience pointed Rabbi Sherman toward the answers of some of life’s biggest questions: To what lengths should parents go to protect their children? How can we maintain faith in God when tragedy occurs? Is it possible to experience joy alongside continuing heartbreak? Now, with deep insight, refreshing honesty, humor, and intelligence, Charles Sherman reflects back on his life and describes his struggle to address and ultimately answer these questions. The Broken and the Whole “inspirationally sets forth how to survive in the face of calamity” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) beautifully showing what it means to embrace life after everything you’ve known has been shattered to pieces.

How did I move from brokenness into being whole? How did I harness my remaining ounce of strength into eternal truths that became the pillars for my progress? The most unimaginable misfortunes happen to many people, but what distinguishes them is how they handle such situations. Find out how I handled mine. Be inspired.

Broken Whole
Author: Jane Binns
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1631524348
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 312
Book Description
At the age of thirty-five, desperate to salvage a self that has been suffocating for years—and to save her two-year-old son from witnessing a miserable relationship between his parents—Jane Binns leaves her husband of twelve years. She has no plan or intention but to leave, however, and therein begins the misadventures lying in wait for her. Over the years that follow, Binns falls in love with Steve, a man eighteen years her senior who has been suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder since his return from military service in Vietnam forty years prior, and who has a talent for making her feel heard. Despite his inability to provide anything more than a spurious connection, run on a mercurial and erratic schedule, and despite his repeated rejections of her love, she continues to pursue him. During their off periods, she dates other men—but she inevitably compares each new suitor to Steve, and all of them fall short. Ultimately, it takes the loss of her father in the summer of 2014, followed by the death of her ex-husband five months later, for her to finally let go of Steve—and, in the process, fully unearth the self she’s been chasing all along.

Broken Pieces Into A Whole
Author: Jodiann A. Morgan
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781638379713
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 88
Book Description
The paradoxical concepts of pain, power, triumph, and trauma that we experience through life's extraordinary journeys become the major pieces in the foundation of our whole being, and the main sources of who we are. From overwhelming struggles and challenges to unconditional joy and wondrous celebrations, Jodiann A. Morgan constructed the powerful and emotional poems in this collection as mirrors, not only in reflection of her mistakes and miracles, but to help others embrace their battles, discover their own identities, and gain a new understanding of God's love, sacrifice, and grace that guide, protect, and lead them to an eternal breakthrough. With divine empathy, each poem is deeply connected to who she is, but written to touch every broken heart, flooded mind, and silent warrior. Through God's eyes, the messes we indulge in are the clay He uses to mold us into beautiful models to be put on display in His museum of divine transformation to attract greatness for His glory. For every broken part of us that exists, we need our broken pieces to fit together to let His promise manifest in our lives.
