Book Description
This is not a book for the faint- hearted. This topic effects every one of us whether we realize it or not- and it is one that the writer crafts with honor. It is an explosively heart-rendering "must read" that deals with the residuals of severe child abuse and the squalid monsters who commit such horrendous acts- monsters who hide among us all. Catherine's brutal honesty is commendably brave-She spares nothing in order to get her message across for her readers to get the full feeling of the story. With keen empathy and vibrancy, Catherine takes you on a journey of finalizing contingent and prevailing wisdom. The reader is taken into the lives and the sensations of such victims with specific ardor. Her handling of the topic sets the readers feet onto the very misbegotten path that these unfortunate people were unwillingly cast onto. And she does it with such openly harsh tact. She artfully commends all victims into their rightful place by giving validating insight into the makings of the deep scars and the mechanisms that protrude into their lives. Some might view this book as a type of thriller or horror tale by way of its purely raw depiction of a sincere truth. The horizon is drawn via a variety of delicately captured candidness. You will tingle and sensate from this depiction of human-ugliness at it's best. The words may rip through you, but you will undoubtedly reach a poignant climax by the travels you go on with her main character. Catherine has succeeded in outlining the nefarious nature that brings about the subject with colorful detail in this creative non-fiction novel. You will not be able to put it down.

A Voice in the Midst of a Storm
Author: Suzzane Njuguna
Publisher: Xulon Press
ISBN: 1607918757
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 110
Book Description
Barack Obama did not just appear on the political arena in Chicago as a formidable and savvy politician, but rather he is a product of fervent, persistent prayers to an impartial God who answered the cries of his people. He was born for this turbulent moment in the history of the United States of America. He is the fulfillment of Dr. Martin Luther King's Jr. dream...TO TAKE THE NATION TO THE PROMISED LAND. Suzzane Njuguna-Randon was born and grew up in Kenya, East Africa, during the struggle for independence from the British who had colonized her beautiful country before Kenya became independent in 1963. When Suzzane was three years old, the British soldiers ravaged her village, and burned down the little mud huts where her mother lived. But alas! When they saw the little light-skinned toddler lying on the floor near the fire, they stopped and asked her mother "is this baby from us?" Her frightened mother answered yes, but Suzzane was 100% African - God caused the little baby to look 'half-white' and as a result, she and her family escaped death by inferno! As the story goes, her mother knew all along that Suzzane was pre-destined from birth to do a great work in her generation. This call was to ultimately take her to America to pray and intercede for what God was planning to do in the U.S.A. and hence the emergence of a young black man in the name of Barack Obama, who was elected the 44th President of United States of America.

A Beautiful Disaster
Author: Marlena Graves
Publisher: Brazos Press
ISBN: 1441246452
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 214
Book Description
Interweaving biblical insights and personal narratives, this eloquently written book shows how God often uses suffering and desert experiences to form us into Christ's image. Marlena Graves shares her experiences of growing up poor in a house plagued by mental illness as a means to explore the forces God uses to shape us into beautiful people in the midst of brokenness. This book offers a window into suffering through the motif of desert spirituality, revealing how God can use our painful experiences to show himself faithful. While no one welcomes suffering, God often uses desert experiences--those we initially despise and wouldn't wish on anyone--to transform us into beautiful souls who better resemble Jesus. Graves shows how God can bring life out of circumstances reeking of death and destruction, whether those circumstances are crises or daily doses of quiet desperation. Readers who have experienced suffering and question God's purpose for it will benefit from this book, as will counselors, pastors, professors, and mentors. It includes a foreword by John Ortberg and Laura Ortberg Turner.

Pages : 0
Book Description
"Drawing upon a long-suppressed episode in American history, when thousands of German immigrants were rounded up and interned following the attack on Pearl Harbor, In Our Midst tells the story of one family's fight to cling to the ideals of freedom and opportunity that brought them to America. Nina and Otto Aust, along with their teenage sons, feel the foundation of their American lives crumbling when, in the middle of the annual St. Nikolas Day celebration in the Aust Family Restaurant, their most loyal customers, one after another, turn their faces away and leave without a word. The next morning, two FBI agents seize Nina by order of the president, and the restaurant is ransacked in a search for evidence of German collusion. Ripped from their sons and from each other, Nina and Otto are forced to weigh increasingly bitter choices to stay together and stay alive. Recalling a forgotten chapter in history, In Our Midst illuminates a nation gripped by suspicion, fear, and hatred strong enough to threaten all bonds of love--for friends, family, community, and country."--Provided by publisher.

We Are the Middle of Forever
Author: Dahr Jamail
Publisher: The New Press
ISBN: 1620978628
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 387
Book Description
With a new afterword by the authors A powerful, intimate collection of conversations with Indigenous Americans on the climate crisis and the Earth’s future Although for a great many people, the human impact on the Earth—countless species becoming extinct, pandemics claiming millions of lives, and climate crisis causing worldwide social and environmental upheaval—was not apparent until recently, this is not the case for all people or cultures. For the Indigenous people of the world, radical alteration of the planet, and of life itself, is a story that is many generations long. They have had to adapt, to persevere, and to be courageous and resourceful in the face of genocide and destruction—and their experience has given them a unique understanding of civilizational devastation. An American Library Association Notable Book, We Are the Middle of Forever places Indigenous voices at the center of conversations about today’s environmental crisis. The book draws on interviews with people from different North American Indigenous cultures and communities, generations, and geographic regions, who share their knowledge and experience, their questions, their observations, and their dreams of maintaining the best relationship possible to all of life. A welcome antidote to the despair arising from the climate crisis, We Are the Middle of Forever will be an indispensable aid to those looking for new and different ideas and responses to the challenges we face.
