His Healing Wings

Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
For everything Yahweh has established, the sworn enemy of our souls has a counterpart; a counterfeit that looks, tastes, and smells so much like the real thing that it is difficult, if not impossible, to tell the difference. Satan has counterfeited YHVH's design for healing. Removing gallstones today is a fairly simple procedure with few complications; however, did you know that gallstones are a physical symptom of the spiritual problem of bitterness? Wouldn't it make more sense to take care of the bitterness than to keep having gallstones removed? We have been sold a bill of goods by a counterfeit system, and we need to change that! YHVH says, "I am your Healer." Do you really believe it? When was the last time you prayed healing over someone and expected it to happen? Do you look for the cause of your headache or just pop an aspirin? We do not see healing, so we struggle to believe. We are spiritual beings, and healing is spiritual activity. We do not battle against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces in heavenly places. What would happen if believers stopped believing in lies if we stepped outside our comfort zones and really looked at this from a perspective of truth and facts? His Healing Wings is a compilation of years of research, personal experience, and spiritual growth in the area of healing. From the first moments of trying to find answers to the uncovering of schemes deliberately designed to deceive, author Sherri Rogers lays it all out in a way that is engaging and informative. You may not agree with everything, but it will make you think.

All of Us with Wings

Publisher: Soho Press
ISBN: 1641290358
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 361
Book Description
This young adult fantasy debut about love, found family, and healing is “a fantastical ode to the Golden City’s postpunk era,” told through the eyes of a Mexican-American girl (Entertainment Weekly). “Complex and beautiful, blending folklore, San Franciscan history, the music scene, vampires, magic . . . hard to put down.” —School Library Journal Seventeen-year-old Xochi is alone in San Francisco, running from her painful past: the mother who abandoned her, the man who betrayed her. Then one day, she meets Pallas, a precocious twelve-year-old who lives with her rockstar family in one of the city’s storybook Victorians. Xochi accepts a position as Pallas’s live-in governess and quickly finds her place in the girl’s tight-knit household, which operates on a free-love philosophy and easy warmth despite the band’s growing fame. But on the night of the Vernal Equinox, as a concert afterparty rages in the house below, Xochi and Pallas perform a riot-grrrl ritual in good fun, accidentally summoning a pair of ancient beings bound to avenge the wrongs of Xochi’s past. She would do anything to preserve her new life, but with the creatures determined to exact vengeance on those who’ve hurt her, no one is safe—not the family Xochi’s chosen, nor the one she left behind.

Pages : 62
Book Description
In my book, Healing in His Wings, you will not find a single-day fast-then-healed type of quick fix. If you're looking for a five-day easy guide to forgiveness this isn't it. This book is about a real commitment to forgive and requires a sincere heart and real, quality time in God's Word. My personal journey required: 1. Die to yourself 2. Fasting and daily prayer time 3. Lying prostrate before the Lord As a Sunday teacher, wife, mother, and caregiver, I've encountered many challenges I believed I could handle on my own. In this book, I candidly discuss how my unforgiving mindset almost destroyed me and impacted others. When I realized I couldn't handle everything in my life on my own; I released the pain I held in my heart and gave it all to God.

Surgical Wing

Languages : en
Pages : 94
Book Description
“In Surgical Wing, you will find yourself in phone booths, county fairs, fishing boats, and among ghosts. Strange birds will enter hospital waiting rooms. You will be seduced by knot-makers. You will witness illness, grief, and healing. Finally, the book itself will become the wings that steer you to a greater understanding of yourself and the world.” —Anna Silver In Surgical Wing, surrealistic poems visit an experimental hospital ward, manifesting visions of winged angels and medical tests, as we bear witness to a doctor’s’ meddling and miracles. Robertson’s poems challenge the internal and external metamorphoses of the human condition and the juxtaposition between death and life by personifying the soul through images of birds. From “You’re About to Fold a Paper Airplane”: Build evidence of air. Pull the results of your blood test from the mailbox. Fold in half: you have wings already. Abnormal? Fold again. You can’t see the inner-workings of an aircraft. And when you’re folding, you can’t study much else. Book your tumor markers a flight to Bora Bora. Vector, Victor. Clearance, Clarence. On any scrap of paper write carry. Write heavenward. Write I choose this over you. Replace this. With flying. With peregrination. Or write I can’t fear you another morning. And fold. Kristin Robertson is a native of East Tennessee, and she graduated with a PhD in creative writing from Georgia State University in Atlanta. Her poetry has appeared or is forthcoming in Harvard Review, Indiana Review, TriQuarterly, Third Coast, and Verse Daily, among other journals. Kristin lives outside Los Angeles and teaches at the University of California, Riverside.

Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
“Give yourself a gift and read Flying Without Wings. You will be kinder, wiser, and more compassionate for having read it. I am.”—Abigail (Dear Abby) Van Buren At twenty-four, Arnold Beisser was a recent medical school graduate and a nationally ranked tennis player. But overnight a devastating bout of polio left him permanently paralyzed from the neck down and dependent on an iron lung to draw his next breath. Polio robbed Arnold Beisser of his strength, his athletic ability, and almost his life. Yet he discovered in this unthinkable trap not only the expected sadness and despair, but wonder, delight, and the pleasure of everyday living. This is the wise, deeply moving, and warmly humorous account of Arnold Beisser’s search for a new life and meaning as he comes to terms with his disability and then transcends it . . . to practice psychiatry, to fall in love, truly to soar without wings. His spirit and determination to fight for happiness will inspire any reader faced with unbearable loss. Dr. Beisser shows us why the contrast between winner and loser, athlete and cripple, is in our minds much more than in our bodies. And he shares with us the experiences that taught him life’s greatest truth: Nothing can keep you from love, laughter, meaningful work, or enlightenment—except yourself. “A book of blazing honesty and openness. It goes right to the heart of the reader.”—Norman Cousins, author of Anatomy of an Illness
