"e;For his anger endureth but for a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning"e; (Ps. 30:5, KJV). So is Broken for a Blessing: It is from a weeping night to a joyful morning-from brokenness to restoration. At some point, one will face some kind of turmoil, storm, or darkness. However, each of these can also be seen as a developing process. Like bread when it is broken: whenever a bread is broken: it meant, someone is getting ready to eat. This is the same from hurting to healing. God breaks you to heal you or turn you into a better person. This is what Broken for a Blessing is about. In this book, the author wrote ten chapters as he considers the number 10 to be significant. He talks about events that were written about in the Bible and uses the number as a metaphor of one's destiny. He also uses the number 10 as a metaphor in his own life journey. When he was ten years old, he played a game called the ten steps to Zion. In the game, each of the competitors would hold a Bible. The judge would say "e;Sword in hand"e; and then give the competitors a Bible verse, and whoever found it first would take a step. The game would end when a player reached the tenth bench. The author would always be the one who would reach the tenth bench first. In addition, the author started his life in the United States with ten dollars; he actually started with a hundred dollars, but he used ninety dollars of that amount just to pay his rent. He was married for ten years before he suffered a broken marriage. It was during his time of brokenness and isolation when God revealed the book in his spirit, Broken for a Blessing. This book will inspire you and will let you know that there's hope and a purpose for you. You should not get bitter when you are broken; rather, you should understand that you are going through to make yourself better. Whatever comes to break you should be seen as something that is coming to make you. There's a process in the making and a process in becoming. This is not the time for you to break down; it's the time for you to break through.

"e;LONG LONELY NIGHTS"e; is a collection of poetry about today's love. This is the journey of surviving love, through poetry. We all have long lonely nights, when we feel empty inside. Maybe we feel empty, because we left pieces of ourselves, in everyone who used to say, they loved us. We yearn so badly to be healed, we seem to let anyone new into our lives, way too soon. We give them everything we have left, hoping they have good intentions. And sometimes, they do not. And sometimes, the person we wanted to hold on to, was never the person we thought we knew, or needed. So no matter what the reason is, we must heal. Learn from our experience, and move on. We must try to find that love, which is coming our way. If we are patient and willing to wait.

Abdul Shokoor Khusrawy developed a passion for art at age seven while recovering from a broken femur bone in his right leg, which was in a cast for more than two years in Kabul, Afghanistan. He discovered that he was not going to fully recover and walk normally, and he was diagnosed and declared as a disabled person for the rest of his life. Shokoor at the age of seven was supposed to enroll in first grade, but instead he was in and out of the hospitals for two years. He eventually got a little better and entered school at the age of nine, but not without first going through repeated rejections because of his age. Shokoor was about to graduate from high school when Afghanistan was invaded by the USSR. The atrocities of the brutal invasion of the USSR led to a massive refugee influx and mass murder of Afghan civilians. Soon, Afghanistan turned into a battle zone, marked as the darkest chapter of the Afghan recent history. The United Nations and the NATO got involved in bringing peace to Afghanistan; but after decades of trying they eventually realized that the Afghans oppose any sort of foreign interference, fighting the puppet government of Afghanistan and the NATO forces simultaneously. Millions have lost their lives; cities and villages are in ruins. Fear, anxiety, financial hardships, health crises, and chaos continue to threaten the lives of Afghans. Shokoor, as a young yet vulnerable young man, has developed a passion for painting while witnessing these horrors, and he started to draw and paint these events, many images of which are very disturbing. While the war was going on, most schools around the capital city of Kabul were open on and off and were sometimes hit by bullets and rockets. Yet students continued to go to school, risking their lives by being only a bullet away from being killed. Shokoor was among them. He eventually graduated and was enrolled to Kabul University, where every student was living their lives day by day, not knowing whether or not they would make it to school the next day. Shokoor was interested in marrying someone whom he loved, but he was going through financial hardship and had to finish school. He found a job working after school at a construction site to cover his expenses, buy art supplies, and bring food to the table for his new bride who was a housemaker without any educational background. Once, while Shokoor was digging at the base of a building, one of his coworkers accidentally hit Shokoor in the side with a pick mattock, which punctured his kidney. He was taken to a hospital while he was unconscious. He had to stay home for a while to recover while going through financial hardship. However, the newlywed was happy to be alive. War was intensifying around Kabul, and Shokoor as a new graduate had just gotten a new job at the National Gallery and later on at Kabul Museum, not knowing that he was going to be stuck for a week inside the museum while the militants were fighting each other right outside the museum at Darul-Aman, Kabul. A week later Shokoor managed to get home, and he was happy to see his wife. Soon they packed and left their beloved home and sought refuge in the neighboring country of Pakistan, only to find out that they were going to be further devastated. They later return to Kabul hoping to rebuild their shattered lives, not knowing that they were returning to the ruined city where his wife would die during childbirth. Shokoor saw no other choice but to endure, persevere, and stay alive. He left Afghanistan and came to America for safety and a better life, away from fear and wars. Shokoor is one of the luckiest people to get out of a war zone and come to America, where he had hopes and dreams of establishing a new life and make a difference in people's lives through his art and story. His art exhibition in the US had received great awards and recognitions. Some of his paintings were displayed at the Museum of the Sun City in Arizona. Next, Shokoor wanted to open an art gallery and an art class; he wanted to teach others about art in order to build bridges and bring people together. After a long journey, Shokoor and his five children finally settled in America. They hope to become productive contributors to their community.

The focus of this book, Living Beyond Yourself is a self motivated book, as it relates to Self Esteem, and Self Motivation. It's a book that let the readers discover a new look about themselves, different from how the World sees them. Many people put their pictures on Facebook, Whatsapp, Twitter, Instagram etc: because they are looking for comments, and likes, while some refused to show their pictures, because they think less of themselves. However, it's not about what people think, or the many likes. It's about what the person think of himself, or herself. Imagine someone received one thousand likes, yet the person refused to love himself! What difference would he made? This book was written with the tools, and for you to see yourself for who yo u really are. A book about self confidence, self control, and to take your mind to another level of thinking. It is to remind you that you were fearfully, wonderfully, and perfectly created. This means, there's no mistake about the person you really are. The world's imagination is for you to see yourself different. It's the World desire to label you, and to price you, then change your value. However, Living Beyond Yourself is to live beyond how the World sees you. Because you were perfectly created, no one can have your shape, or your finger print. No one can have your D.N.A. The reason so is, you are different. This also means: you are different to make a difference. You might cause a problem to some people. If they cannot solve you, surely, you will be their problem solver. You were born to be their problem solver. There's a different you in the person that you are. You have the power from within to discover the new you. After reading this book, you will begin to have a new look f rom the inside out. This is my sixth book, and a "e;Must Read"e;.

Have you ever wondered why David chose to portray the Lord as his shepherd in Psalm 23? Is that all he is portraying Him as in the Psalm?What exactly does David mean by "e;I shall not want"e;?What is "e;the valley of the shadow of death"e;? If you crave an in-depth analysis of the deeper meaning of these expressions and wish to savor the poetic beauty of Psalm 23, this book is a must-read for you.

He was a black sheep-his was overlooked by his own father, and his brothers were angry with him for his bravery in the face of Goliath's defiance. But he was also a safe sheep-through it all Yahweh, the Lord, was with him to keep him safe from danger, and ultimately made him king. Whichever category you fit in-whether a lost sheep, black sheep, or a safe sheep, you can still put your trust in the Lord as YOUR Shepherd to guide and protect you always.

Is a war between the US and China on the horizon? Can a Sino-American conflict lead to massive nuclear exchanges? Can China launch a surprise nuclear Pearl Harbor against the US homeland? There are no definitive answers, but the author's insights (part VI, "e;Unpublished Essays"e;) provide indispensable information for pondering these grave questions. This book documents the early history of the Taiwanese American community in the United States, beginning in the 1950s. On January 1, 1956, the first Taiwan independence organization-Formosans' Free Formosa (3F)-was launched in Philadelphia (see part I). Two years later, 3F was reorganized as United Formosans for Independence (UFI). Parts II and III document little-known activities of 3F and UFI. Formosan Clubs, the forerunner of present day Taiwanese American Associations, were born in Chicago and New York City, in the mid-1950s. Part IV introduces the key contributors to the Clubs' birth. Sample pages of the newsletters are reproduced to show a glimpse of life in the early days. Pacific Times was a nationwide Chinese language newspaper, published in Los Angeles for the Taiwanese American community. The author wrote short English editorials for the paper from 1999 to 2008. Sample pieces are reprinted in Part V. Part VI covers 19 unpublished essays from 1999 to 2009. The topics include US-Taiwan-China relations and US national security. Part VII reprints author's letters to the editor of US newspapers and academic journals from 1958 to 2009.

This is a book of knowledge and philosophy that teaches readers about the origin of the universe, species, stars, suns, planets, and mammal life and has the top philosophies and riddles possible to this day. This book teaches readers that success is loving to repeat yourself over and over. It tells how 99 percent of people like to believe that the four true stomachs turn into, usually, a large tree when they die from over a million years ago. This book also teaches readers about limb regeneration from the top theory of a, yes, white pink flowered evergreen tree. Likely, this is the top book made available in this time of the human race-top everything book from over a million years ago. A book to calm the soul has been the greatest aspiration of man up to this point in history-I believe this is that book, and it will be, for ages upon ages to come, the most scientific, greatest simplification in all its forms. This book took twenty years to write.

The Volume speaks to us from the heart and engages the socio-political concerns in the Nigerian context through the lens of a theological approach. The author reflects historically the numerous consequences of the amalgamation of the ethnic groups of different orientations in Nigeria into one socio-political structure of the colonizers interests. This sociopolitical structure raises several questions than answers it pretends to offer the indigenous people. From a Nigerian point of view, the articles in this volume critically challenge the unjust formation of any nationhood in the Africa context. It points out how the sustenance of an unjust nation formation betrays the creed on which such a nation is established. "e;Truth conquers all"e; is the spirit with which this Volume is written. It is the truth that will set a nation like Nigeria free from the spirit of confusion and unperceived religio-socio-political syncretism. The awareness emanating from this volume suggests liberating steps from the unsuspicious colonial interests and the sustained feigned relationship with the colonizers which militate against the socio-political and economic growth, and theological orthodoxy of such a growing nation.
