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!

Domestic violence, rape, prison, homelessness, food insecurity, and cancer have given Yvette Carter the compassion and ability to minister to others. Read her heart-rending story of living in the streets, dealing drugs, and leaving her two young children with her mother when she was sent to prison for six years, followed by losing everything, being homeless, hungry and without hope. That despair drove her to beg for food at St. Paul, where she found God's redeeming grace. Then God began to unravel her crazy life and give her the marriage and ministry He uniquely created her for. Having walked in those same footsteps, her story will encourage those who are homeless and hungry and without hope to cry out to God who is the solution to your brokenness. There is hope for you! God sees your tears and pain and wants to heal you, just as He mended her. If you believe there is no hope for "outcasts" to change, we pray you will be impacted by Yvette's living example of how God changes people and their circumstances. Will you invest in the lives of others, giving words of encouragement and hope, instead of judgment and condemnation, showing Jesus to all who need Him?

This book, written by Dr. Kenneth R. Kemp, a pastor of an urban predominantly African American church, addresses the critical issues facing persons who may feel left out by recent dramatic changes in the fiber of America. A Cry During Crisis reviews major domestic events of contemporary US history affecting marginalized congregants from 2012 to the present and seeks to put these often painful events into Christian perspective through sermonic proclamation. It honestly and poignantly deals with the hurts and disappointments that many persons have experienced in recent times.From the killing of Trayvon Martin to the mass shootings in churches and schools across America to the riots in Ferguson to the protests in Charlottesville, there have been numerous events in recent history that have caused Christians from minority or disenfranchised backgrounds to feel left out, looked over, or left behind. The pastors of churches comprised of such persons must address those concerns using the examples and instructions of Holy Scripture. Even when addressing such issues is considered to be too political or too secular for the church, the pastor must don the mantle of prophet and comment on the crisis that tugs at the hearts of the congregation.While addressing these turbulent issues, this collection of sermons from the pastor''s pen also offers hope and inspiration. Furthermore, it is a cry that challenges the reader to action to ensure that every one of God''s children is honored and respected."When the world appears to be crumbling, when pain permeates the predicament when sadness and sorrow appear to be salient; the pastor must stand and assure the people that Christ still cares, that all is not lost, that a better day is still coming..."

Lágrimas de un Quetzal expone la realidad de tantos guatemaltecos que se sienten excluidos en su propio país. Unos no tienen acceso a la educación, otros a los hospitales, muchos a conseguirse un trabajo digno que sea suficiente a poner un platillo de frijoles en la mesa. Un gran porcentaje tiene que ir a trabajar a fuera de sus fronteras para ganarse lo que debería tener en su tierra. El precio de una aventura en la distancia es la mutilación familiar. La patria se queda sin su ciudadano y el ciudadano se va sin su patria. Una nación como la nuestra tiene todo para salir adelante y satisfacer las necesidades de todos. Recuperemos las ganas de hacer el cambio. Sé que podemos. Recordemos la frase del presidente Kjell Eugenio Laugerud García cuando el terremoto del ''76, "Guatemala esta herida, pero no de muerte". Sé que puede despertar en una laguna de nuevos horizontes y un caminar de esperanza en el corazón de todos sus hijos. Empecemos ahora, no mañana. Hoy es el momento perfecto para sacar a nuestra tierra de donde la hemos dejado a empantanarse. Amándola como ella nos ama, venceremos la epidemia de la desigualdad y la corrupción que nos aqueja cada amanecer. No es un reclamo para mis paisanos, sino una súplica para mis hermanos. Guatemala te necesita hoy. No le digas que no. Guatemala es tuya y de todos.

What do you do when you have done all you can do and the pain of someone''s actions are killing you? What do you do when your love just isn''t enough?

At the same time, I witnessed the torture of many a mother as they were left at home worrying about the fate of their dearly loved child. These are the times that a mother must sacrifice her worry on God''s altar and learn through passionate intercession to hold to the promises He has given in His Word.

Standing on the promises of God, many either proclaim or sing, yet without the understanding of Covenant, believing faith is challenged before it even gets started. Sadly, many are losing hope in the face of tragedy and trials.Embracing the truths revealed in the seven holy covenants dispels the darkness of biblical misunderstandings. What''s more, covenant imagery illuminates the hidden mysteries of God''s extravagant love for His people. Trusting God with the whole being is made possible as the tight grip of harassing fear and strangling worry is broken through covenantal truths.Come journey with me on Promise River as we explore the breathtaking revelations of Jesus from Eden to His Incarnation. Our voyage will culminate at Golgotha''s point and the victorious truths of the New Covenant. Here doubt is diminished, shame shattered, and faith exponentially increased.Standing on God''s promises will never be the same!Reverend Kathie Kuhn is a Bible teacher, author, and international speaker who was a staff pastor at an Ohio church for over 31 years; she was also the Professor of Old Testament Studies and Dean of Students at Hosanna Bible Training Center.Kathie served for over ten years on the faculty of the Pastors of Excellence Program at Ashland Theological Seminary.
