Book Description
You only get one chance to live your life as a child, but Lily was never given that chance; her childhood was taken from her before it ever begun. From the age of four, when she was first sexually abused, her life changed forever; when she walked through the institution’s doors in Ireland, her life continued along the same path that has destroyed her soul. Her emotional pain is as strong today as it was the day it began and will never leave her alone.“When I go to sleep it’s in my head and when I wake up I can see it in the mirror and I am only waiting to die.” A child abuse story that will stay with you forever and one that you will talk about for many years to come, The Girl Nobody Wants is a harrowing true story that will appeal to fans of biographies and fans of Jodi Picoult. It has been compared to Dave Pelzer’s A Child Called It, Damaged by Cathy Glass and The Kid by Kevin Lewis.

Book Description
What do you do when you realize your mother doesn't want you...and you're only five years old? Find out in this graphic narrative as Dr. Annie Hurley shares her personal story of childhood abandonment, a life that entailed years of poverty, fear, hunger, loneliness- and unimaginable physical and sexual abuse. Annie's journey led her through over thirty different home living situations, including several years of residing with her mother, whose love and attention Annie craved above all else. Yet instead of living secure in her mother's love and protection, Annie lived in fear and emotional torment on a daily basis. Though she always believed God was real, and even caught supernatural glimpses of Him along the way, Annie could never seem to find the relationship with Him she longed for. Finally, when a high school teacher invited Annie to hear a Christian speaker, Annie prayed to receive Jesus. This life-altering event set her on a path toward healing, deliverance, and restoration, where she learned....How to renew her mind to the Word of God. How to find her true identity in Christ. How to break free from torment through the power of forgiveness. How to overcome rejection through receiving Jesus' love. How to exchange Satan's lies for God's truth. How to keep her children free from the issues of her past. How to know God as a Father to the fatherless Evil is real and it exists in this world; Annie's story proves it. More importantly, it proves that no matter how deep the enemy assaults, Jesus' love is deeper still. Nothing can separate us from that love, or the faithfulness of a heavenly Father who offers hope and healing to all who will reach out to Him and ask for His guidance to peace and freedom.

Book Description
Doss's charming, touching, and at times hilarious chronicle tells how each of the children, representing white, Chinese, Japanese, Filipino, Korean, Mexican, and Native American backgrounds, came to her and husband Carl, a Methodist minister. She writes of the way the "unwanted" feeling was erased with devoted love and understanding and how the children united into one happy family. Her account reads like a novel, with scenes of hard times and triumphs described in vivid prose. The Family Nobody Wanted, which inspired two films, opened doors for other adoptive families and was a popular favorite among parents, young adults, and children for more than thirty years. Now this edition will introduce the classic to a new generation of readers. An epilogue by Helen Doss that updates the family's progress since 1954 will delight the book's loyal legion of fans around the world.

Book Description
'Someone has said that when you have nothing left but God, you realize that God is enough. God had stood beside me when no one else wanted me. He was not going to abandon me now. God would have to heal the emotional pain that throbbed through my body.' As a child, Dorie was rejected by her mother, sent to live in an orphanage where she was regularly beaten by the orphanage director, was beaten time and again by cruel foster parents, and was daily told that she was ugly and unlovable. Dorie never knew love until a group of college students visited the orphanage and told her that God loved her. As she accepted that love, her life began to change. Dorie is the thrilling, true account of what God's love can do in a life. Doris Van Stone takes readers through the hard years of her childhood into her fascinating years as a missionary with her husband to the Dani tribe in New Guinea. With the rise of illegitimate births, the increase in divorce statistics, and the frightening escalation of child abuse, this story stands as a reminder that God's love, forgiveness, and grace are greater than human hurt and sorrow.

Book Description
Eleven preachers with different gifts, backgrounds, and personal emphases show how they proclaim Christ from all the Scripture in a variety of contexts. Edmund P. Clowney (1917-2005), the late president and professor of practical theology at Westminster Theological Seminary, was a trailblazer of Christ-centered, redemptive-historical preaching. Through his classroom instruction, his publications, and his example as a preacher, he ignited in many seminary students and pastors a passion to preach Christ from all the Scriptures as the fulfillment and climax of God's plan of redemption. This collection of sermons is intended to illustrate how various preachers with different gifts, backgrounds, and personal emphases are working out in practice the homiletic principles they learned from Dr. Clowney. The volume, which includes sermons and introductory comments by editor Dennis Johnson, Tim Keller, Joseph "Skip" Ryan, and eight other contributors, enables readers to carry away both models and practical advice for preparing sermons that proclaim Christ across a broad spectrum of congregations and people groups.
