Book Description
What would you do if speaking out against injustice put your life in danger? What would you do if your whole world started falling apart around you? What would you do if your right to freedom was threatened? What would you do if you were faced with a life-or-death choice? Escape to Life, From Syria to Safety is the true story of Mohammed Al Ali, a paramedic in war-torn Syria, who dealt with death every day, but who ultimately chose life. Fleeing Syria, he kept walking, one foot in front of the other, confronting danger, heartbreak, sorrow and exhaustion at every step of the way. Facing and fighting his fears, holding on and never giving up, he kept telling himself: "It's not over until I find peace and freedom." This is one man's story, but it is also the story of every one of us who has ever taken a risk and made a brave choice that will inevitably overturn our life, but which might just open up a bright, new future. Are you faced with making life-changing decisions? Do you have the strength to choose? Mohammed's story gives us a unique insight into the human tragedy that has affected millions of Syrians, yet it also offers hope in this ever-changing world, where stability and security can no longer be taken for granted.

Pages : 296
Book Description
Escape With One's Life-Learning to live with survival is the story of a commercial air flight from San Jose, Costa Rica to Tegucigalpa, Honduras on October 21, 1989. After a short stopover in Managua, the Continental Airlines leased plane crashed into a mountainside near the Honduran capital. The author is one of fifteen survivors among the 146 people on board including thirteen North Americans. The book focuses on why the fifteen survivors were flying that day and how each of them miraculously escaped the inferno that ensued shortly after the Boeing 727-200 failed to reach its intended destination. Eyewitness accounts describe courageous and heroic actions of both survivors and local residents. Nine years after the crash, the author decided to document the experience when he watched another survivor being interviewed on Spanish language television about her survival and her support for burn victims in Nicaragua. Escape With One's Life describes the effect the tragedy had on the lives of the survivors and the family members of deceased passengers. The author's journey to understand the trauma and heal from it are the central thrust of the book with particular emphasis on the impact of trauma, the author's struggles to understand his inner conflicts and to eventually overcome them through the process of documenting his experience. Escape is a gripping account of survival and how numerous people overcame pain and suffering to move ahead with their lives.

Pages : 202
Book Description
The Bible says the old life is gone and the new life has come (see 2 Cor. 5:17). But we still sin; still get angry, arrogant, and greedy. Sin destroys everything in its path, yet it’s also kind of fun and quite compelling. It often has us holding on to parts of the old life instead of embracing the new life we’ve been promised. In Done with That, Pastor Bob Merritt exposes the inner battle we all fight with sin. He exposes the cycle of failure and loss and shows readers that no matter how many setbacks they’ve experienced, there is a way to enjoy a new and better life in Christ.
