Book Description
This book is written from my heart. My life changed before it began at the age of 5 or 6 years old when I was raped by a friend of the family, and I wasn't believed. This caused me to go into a shell and lose my inner voice. I was instantly overtaken with fear of what had happened to me. The damage done to me caused me to have to relearn how to walk. I continued to experience pain from an early age before I could enjoy life. This book allows me the opportunity to talk to you about being taken away from my mother and being separated from my siblings; how I endured so much pain, shame, fear, self-doubt, and a lot of confusion; dreaming of being that little girl growing up playing with Barbie dolls and one day being a model, and how that didn't happen for me. I endured so much pain from my childhood to my adulthood. I pray my book reaches every person who is reading it and it touches you like it has touched me. I can now speak and share my story about all the pain that I endured as a child on up into my adulthood. I could not have done any of this without God. I prayed and asked God to heal me, and He did. I lost my inner voice at the age of 5 years old. I found my inner voice at the age of 32 years old. I endured so much pain for 27 years. God delivered me from my pain on September 4, 2020. I found God. My Pain is My Power. I am using my voice to help and empower so many women and children like myself. I pray that you all be well and blessed and that my book touched you. God uses His weakest people and molds us into becoming His strongest people. Even though Fear was instilled in me as a child, I choose Faith over Fear. I survived and came out the other side.

Power in My Pain

ISBN: 9780578493251
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 86
Book Description
Infertility can make you question your womanhood. The struggle to conceive or the pain of being told you cannot conceive can leave you feeling a major void. Dealing with no longer being able to physically conceive, carry, and birth a child causes emotions and thoughts for which we can never truly prepare. You will search for answers and dig deep to find a way to, proverbially, touch the hem of Jesus's garment to be healed. But what if your healing does not come the way you expect? What if your only option for a better quality of life involves permanent infertility? What do you do? How do you overcome the pain? Can you ever live in power and with purpose, despite your condition?The end of our suffering does not always manifest itself the way we think it should. Rather than looking at the end as a curse, or punishment, or something being wrong with you, we must see the end as a means to a new beginning - a healthy life and the ability to live freely and without shame. Regardless of what we experience, we must be coffee beans. Coffee is made by running hot water over the beans or by steeping the beans for hours in cold water. It's not the beans that are changed, but it's the water. Many times in life, in order to change our environment, we must face adversity - much like a coffee bean being submerged in hot water, it's not what you go through, it's how you use the adversity to your advantage in order to change your environment.In Power in My Pain, entrepreneur and minister Danielle Wright shares her personal journey and struggles with infertility and how, after 27 years of excrutiating physical and emotional pain, she decided to put it to an end. The story is focused on conveying that she is a Christian who holds firm to her faith, but she had some very hard times as she trekked this journey. She details the necessity of having support as well as the necessity to do what is absolutely best for yourself when you're faced with a chronic illness, and how this helps you live life shamelessly and victoriously. Danielle teaches that you can convert your pain into power when you embrace the fact that an infertile womb does not equate to infertile dreams.Danielle provides five ways she found power in the pain of infertility and learned to live confidently, shamelessly and victoriously.-Become your greatest advocate-See your healing differently-Admit you want to give up sometimes-Stop talking about your problems and speak about solutions-Develop a Faith, Focus, Forward, Finish mentalityTake control of your health - mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually - when you find the power in your pain.

A punky, raw novel of millenial disaffection, trauma and 1960s cinema Margot is the child of renowned musicians and the product of a particularly punky upbringing.

She’s seeking to escape both the eyes of the world and the echoing voice of that last bad man. But a chance encounter with a dubious doctor in a graveyard, and the discovery of a dozen old film reels, opens the door to a study of both the peculiarities of her body and the absurdities of her famous family. A literary take on cinema du corps, Stephanie LaCava’s new novel is an audaciously sexy and moving exploration of culture and connections, bodies and breakdowns.

Book Description
After your faith has fractured, let what takes its place be the real thing . . . at last. Somewhere along the way, the Christianity you knew began to crumble. You began to suspect your faith was misplaced. Disillusionment set in. Churches hurt you. Their people failed you. Christian institutions were exposed as fake. And in it all, God was silent. Is He gone? Or is God really there, waiting for you to find Him instead of the counterfeits? If you’re walking this difficult spiritual path, Lina AbuJamra understands you. After experiencing the near deconstruction of her own faith, Lina had to rebuild something more solid when the faith she once knew let her down. With her diagnostic style that comes from her training as an ER doc, Lina helps you grapple with questions like: Where is God in my pain? Is this how Christians are supposed to act? Why did my story end up this way? Is this the normal Christian life? Why is it so hard for Christians to love? Let Fractured Faith help you find your way back to God. You just might discover that the real God has been waiting for you all along.

James Bovard is no fan of Big Government in the US and under the Clinton-Gore administration. In his new book, Bovard looks at Clinton and Gore's record on such abuses and absurdities as taxes, gun control, the Waco fiasco, AmeriCorps, and federal funding of every program from those dealing with disaster relief to those that put on puppet shows in Northern California. He looks at Hillary Clinton's informal role in the government, as well as Newt Gingrich's poor stewardship of the Republican party in its quest for a leaner federal government.
