Böcker av Diane Blacker

Colossians tell us everything we need to know about living a Christ centered life. It beautifully covers the 4 areas that encompass our life and how our Lord helps us to live according to His Design. Colossians 1: Your Deeper Life in Christ, where you are rooted - planted securely in Him. Your life lived under the surface - away from the eyes of others. It is you and Christ. Colossians 2: Your union to Heavenly Father is your Higher Life in Christ. He sees you and knows you as no one else can. Not a thought escapes His notice. Your entire being is stripped bare before Him. He is your Audience of One. Colossians 3: Your inner life, known only to God through Christ and the Indwelling presence of His Holy Spirit Colossians 4: Your outward life, lived before others. God's design for your life as a single adult or in marriage. Your love, maturity, priorities and understanding are seen by others in how you conduct your outward life. May you be forever blessed and live in the protective

In Building Today for a Healthy Tomorrow my goal is to introduce my readers to the reasons many of us are not enjoying the health and vitality we desire to have. Our foods have changed over the past few decades. These changes have incorporated a wide range of chemicals into our foods & environment. Our "fresh" foods may not have the nutrients we expect. These untold numbers of chemicals are everywhere - our food, water, soil and air. We are surrounded by our electronic devices that emit frequencies that can be harmful and change the atmosphere in which we live. There is little we can do about what is in the air around us, but there is a tremendous amount that we can do to take charge of how we care for our body and feed it with the nutrients God provided. Join me in Building Today for a Healthy Tomorrow. Diane Blacker is the author of 10 books - 5 published by Xulon in 2019! "The Spiritual Roots of Abusive Relationships', "Forever Free from the Wounds of Your Past", "Your Forty Day Journey", "Design for Christian Living from Colossians" and now, "Building Today for a Healthy Tomorrow".

Behind the closed doors of your home, are you silently suffering abuse? Even in Christian homes, people live with painful wounds from abusive childhoods and marriages. They cover up once they set foot in the outside world. Sadly, churches rarely discuss domestic issues and counseling is often unaffordable. Abuse is increasingly prevalent in the lives of innocent people of all ages. After freeing herself from forty-two years in an abusive marriage, author and educator Diane Blacker sheds light on the reality of abuse. While having her own Emmy-nominated television program in Chicago and working for Campus Crusade for Christ, Diane remained quiet about what went on in her home. Today, she shares her powerful story to teach others how to be restored from a life of abuse and its traumatic effects. In Forever Free from the Wounds of Your Past, Diane reveals the truth behind why people are abusive and what happens in the lives of those who are abused. Through an amazing testimony of hardship, triumph, and forgiveness, Diane explores why wounded people wound others and how both the abuser and the victim can find restoration in Christ. Using "weapons" outlined in God's Word, you'll discover how to defend yourself from abuse, be healed of the emotional pain of victimhood, and set your hope on a future filled with the joy of the Lord. Our Lord came to heal the brokenhearted, so receive His healing today! "Diane Blacker has lived through abuse, and overcome unspeakable challenges by the clear Word of God empowering her.

This is the third book in my series to bring healing and restoration for people who have been wounded and scarred by abuse and maltreatment in their lives. Their wounds run deep and most often the memories and pain remains unhealed. The trauma frequently overshadows attempts to move forward in life and become the person they dreamed of being. My first book in this series is, "The Spiritual Roots of Abusive Relationships". The second book is, "Forever Free from the Wounds of Your Past". The majority of wounded people have been unable to comprehend why they have been abused by family members, friends, strangers and the person they vowed to share their life with in marriage. Why and how could this happen? These books explain from the Scriptures what has happened in the lives of people who become abusive and how they take out on others the pain they suffered earlier in life. I first wrote this Journal in 1994 as I was healing after leaving a 42 year abusive marriage. I told no one, except my mother & brother about my life and did not share these three books until two years after my former husband passed away in 2013. In the years of our marriage I had a nationwide teaching ministry where the Lord allowed me to teach others about the love of our Savior and how to become all that God designed for them. These Spiritual Roots are worked out in their treatment of others - strangers, innocent family members, their children and their spouse. Verbal abuse often leads to physical abuse and the wounded people frequently carry their pain throughout life. Now with this understanding and knowledge, wounded people can be totally healed of their pain - so their memories no longer cause pain. That's the value of appropriating the promises found throughout the Word of God. In Your Forty Day Journal, many topics are explained and the reader has the ability to answer questions and put their feelings on paper. This allows them to think through their feelings and gain insight into the solutions offered in the book. Traumatic events leave people with so many unanswered questions. Pent up painful emotions need to be released. By writing out these deep needs allows the person to see for themselves how applying the solutions in these books will bring lasting healing and give each one the ability to rebuild their lives both emotionally and in practical ways that give them solid structure on which to grow and become the person they knew they could be. The peace of Christ will be theirs and their deepened union with their Savior will give them joy unspeakable and full of glory!
