Book Description
This Book portrays the journey of a “Ms. Guided,” woman, who was raised in church, practiced religion but failed to develop a personal relationship with God. The story depicts how the lack of this vital relationship leads to unresolved childhood issues, diminished self worth, and a burning desire for wholeness and a search for unconditional love. Although this story resides in a fi ctional setting it reveals true to life, heartbreaking testimony of how a young woman makes a series of bad decisions that sends her into a downward spiral which create a deeper void in her life. Ms Guided is inspired and encouraged by the graphic testimonies of four persevering women. The women’s stories are also true stories deposited into a fi ctional setting and written in their own words. Teen pregnancy, single parenting, drug addiction, domestic violence, incarceration, suicide, and chronic illness are just a few of the things the women endure. A Sheppard (Rev. Gilbert Pickett Sr.) guides this transformation process through his support and scripture based words of wisdom. Ms. Guided undergoes a process of revelation, refl ection and change. She becomes whole, healed and demonstrates how God can take ordinary people and do extraordinary things. Through her journey, Ms. Guided develops an understanding of the Christian Development Process and comes to terms with the fact that; This Walk Ain’t Easy but Help is Along the Way.

Book Description
A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.

Black Poetry and Black Folk Narratives
Author: Dr. James Oliver Richardson
Publisher: Trafford Publishing
ISBN: 1490713042
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 133
Book Description
Perhaps the greatest human understanding lies within the hearts and souls of Black people. The old Negro folk songs entered the African American church and became prayer songs and sorrow songs that still trouble our souls. These songs were spirituals groans and mournful meanings that are ever present in the old Negro spirituals; they were narratives and expressions of hope and of tragedy. The songs we hear were a prophecy of pride and self-respect. Through all of the unhappiness of the sorrow songs, there breathes a hope and a faith in the final justice of things. The minor cadences of despair change often to victory and calm confidence. Sometimes it is faith in life, sometimes a faith in death, and sometimes reassurance of boundless justice in some unknown world beyond. But whichever it is, the meaning is always clear: that sometime, somewhere, all men will be judge by their souls and not by the color of their skins. Perhaps, in America, many Black men cannot endure their life-world of Blackness. Nevertheless, there will come a time when individuals will be required to accept full accountability for their cruelty, hypocrisy, exploitation, and for empowering a reality of Whiteness. It will be a time when secrets of the hearts will be known.
