The Stepping Stones of Spiritual Maturity explores our transformation when we bring our true selves before our Creator and the freedom resulting from choosing God's way. Interwoven with her own transformation story, author Angela Guy looks at how the Sermon on the Mount relates to and deepens the Beatitudes by describing them both as a cross-shaped path toward God's heart, and stepping stones to cross before we can continue along the path. Guy also explores the difference between who we are, compared to a righteous God in whom we learn to abide, and shows how our identity and worth are found in Jesus alone.Endorsement: Angie takes the richness found in God's Word and weaves a beautiful tapestry focused on the Sermon on the Mount. As she unravels these verses, she directs our attention to many valuable cross references and provides deeper understanding for the reader. I appreciate Angie's vulnerability, authentic heart, and her willingness to share the real struggles she has faced in her relationship with the Lord. She invites readers to search their own hearts. These pages have drawn me into a time of reflection, evaluation, and worship before the Lord. I urge readers to ask the Lord how to apply these vital truths in their own hearts and lives.¿Brenda McCord, Walk with God, podcast co-hostPrepare to be challenged because Angela asks the hard questions. Her direct approach cuts a path just wide enough to guide the reader to a place of understanding, with the intent to induce reflection and soul-searching depth. A self-proclaimed introvert, she masterfully bares her life to the reader for the sole purpose of facilitating growth, revealing a servant's heart. A must read for those seeking maturity in their walk with God.¿Jane Blasio, Author, Taken at Birth-Stolen Babies, Hidden Lies, and My Journey to Finding Home.About the Author:Angela Guy lives in northeast Ohio with her husband and four children. Raised in the church, but going her own way over the years, she has struggled much of her life with feeling seen and accepted. She loves sharing with others how God has provided her with purpose and has healed the deep hurts. She cherishes pondering God's Word in the quiet of the morning and listening to the wind rustling through the trees. The Stepping Stones of Spiritual Maturity is Angela's first book, and if it is God's plan, she would love to pursue writing more books.

This title is best described in the Kirkus Review that follows:"A collection of stories illuminates Koubourlis' travels, beliefs, and experiences with love and pain in this memoir.Buried within the self-described "eclectic" author and academic's collection of intimately autobiographical stories are the truths that have made him "fortunate in many respects." The physical violence he and his brother endured at the hands of his punishing father, whom he dubs "my family's beater-in-chief," inspires the difficult opening story ("The Beating"), in which he describes the abusive episodes that occurred with regularity throughout their youth and the "profound effect" it had on them both, mostly in the form of "undesirable cultural baggage" carried into and throughout early adulthood. Despite this enduring trauma, Koubourlis remains compassionate and forgiving, openly admitting that he is "incapable of holding a grudge." Instead, he offers absolution and exoneration with descriptions of the negative effects of war and his father's own childhood status as an orphan as probable explanations for his parents' harsh, stern child-rearing style. A series of "first-times" lifts the collection with vivid history and a touch of levity as the author shares experiences such as the first awakening of his consciousness (at age 3) when Italian biplanes bombed his Greek city in 1940. Other firsts include the discovery of his very own toy balloon, which he excitedly discovered at the beach. His first experience with youthful, unbridled, amorous infatuation in his hometown of Rio-Patras in 1953 is also luminously realized. The stories progress to the 1970s: in "Ephemeral Fame," which takes place when Koubourlis was a young (and homesick) university professor in North Carolina, he reconnected with a favorite childhood musician who, by happenstance, was performing at a Greek restaurant in Chicago. The love of a stray cat in the resonant and sentimental "A Message from Afar" ends up inspiring a deeper connection between the author and his female companion, Lena. Other stories have more contemporary settings yet still enchant as Koubourlis strums a guitar melody to a garden snake before concluding with a lyrical meditation on the messages found in dreams.The collection's strength lies in its diversity. The stories move from early incidents of scarring pain and sadness to memorable experiences with love, animals, partnership, music, and death. The author takes care to embed his opinions and seasoned perspective into each story, framing and informing them with personal insights and life lessons, all placed in historical context; "My First Memory" describes the harrowing bombing of his hometown in "war-soaked Greece" at the opening of World War II and how the citizens of the area scattered in horror. Koubourlis also offers considerations of the nature of evil, the dynamics of "what a civilized society should be," and our propensity to cater to the forces of outside control. Thoughtful, lucid, and emotionally aware throughout, this assemblage of cathartic stories is a powerful testament to memory and meaning, written with passion, intensity, dark humor, frank honesty, and immense heart. A memoir in stories contextualizes the author's striking experiences throughout his adventuresome life." -- Kirkus Reviews

There's a silent epidemic creeping through the church. And it's not pretty. Statistics tell us that one in four highly religious marriages in the United States have abuse in them, although few are willing to admit it. Pastors don't see it and aren't trained to deal with it; fellow parishioners may not notice something is wrong; and the Christian woman trapped in such a situation may not realize that what she's experiencing is actually abuse.Author Rebecca Commean knows this well. She sensed something was wrong but couldn't quite put her finger on it. Her husband was controlling, he lied, he gaslighted her, he meted out small sums of money to run the household of nine children. But he was a different guy at church. At church, people loved and revered him, and the church leaders told her to, above all else, to submit to him. When she finally asked herself the question Is this Domestic Abuse? her eyes were opened, and she knew she had to do better for herself and her children. This handbook for Christian women will help you to evaluate your own situation and, if warranted, it will show you how to protect yourself and your children from what could become a dangerous and deadly situation. Commean has covered every step of the extraction process and provides numerous resources to help you help yourself.

"Bloodshot eyes dart around the room, searching for something or someone, then fix upon you. Stepping inside, the wooden door creaks behind him, the rasp of the bolt loud in the silence."What happens to a child unloved and abused by their father?Graham's innocence is shattered at age five by the person who should have cherished him. At thirteen, out of home and school, Graham embarks on an extraordinary journey that defies the odds.Pain, Loss & Desire is a raw and intimate account of Graham's experiences and their profound impact on his existence, told with honesty, courage and humour. It is essential reading for anyone who has experienced childhood trauma and a powerful testament to the strength and resilience of survivors of child abuse. It serves as a lifeline, revealing they are not alone in their struggle.In a world where the scars of childhood trauma are hidden, Pain, Loss & Desire is a reminder that these stories must be heard, acknowledged, and understood.

The content of this book is a training program developed to not only bring hope and healing to survivors of abuse and trauma but for training others to use this systematic approach to healing. This workbook has been developed for survivors of abuse and trauma of all kinds. Most survivors of abuse are silenced either by their abuser or by their shame and guilt--. This shame and guilt may be assigned either by the offender who threatens to hurt them or a loved one if they tell or by themselves because their conscience tells them "This is good/right." You will discover through these lessons that keeping things inside can cause deeper mental, emotional, and physiological damage as well as the destruction of our ability to care for ourselves and others. We will experience ways of exposing the truth to heal and restore your God-given identity.

The past is none of our business, its our history, and neither is the unknown future, its a mystery.all we have is these God given 24 hours, that make us this present, today. If we do this right and give our 8 hours of sleep to God to sort through, then all we have to contend with, are the 16 hours of work and play, that are our business.This is a simple program for complicated people, and today, we finally have a solution that allows us to give the baggage of the past back to it's rightful owner; our younger self, who suffered the trauma event; enabling each of us to break free of the chains and bondage of the past memory, that has ruled and defined us for far too long.By letting go of the past, giving it back to our younger self; they can step into the light, far from our plane of existence; and we can be freed of those nightmares and flashbacks of an event that didn't happen to the us of today.Don't we deserve a second chance at life, and if this is that second chance, shouldn't we take it?This is a personal decision we each have to make for ourselves.To continue to suffer a past event in the presentorTo live in the present; abundantly as a normal human being; that is our birthright, isn't it?

You should always feel safe in a relationship, feel equal with your partner, and feel respect for each other. This this is why I created the journal. Journal stems from the word journey. I have provided highlights from my life's journey of domestic abuse, but I realized that it is not yours. Therefore, I have compiled resources, activities, and journaling pages for you to record YOUR journey in hopes that it will help you and others whom you may share it with in the future. Happy journaling!Words are powerful; the words we choose to say out loud are even more powerful. That's why I tell everyone I am a domestic violence survivor-not a victim.Never a victim.While this guide focuses on dating partners, these principles apply to relationships with friends, family, spouses, and coworkers.

This book is a 'cautionary tale' for all women and girls over the age of 16 who may find themselves, quite innocently, on the wrong side of the law. This is the book I wish I'd read before my life was turned upside down and inside out. I had no idea how the British police can treat you as a woman, arresting you before even considering whether you are innocent or guilty. Being brutally made to strip and change clothing in front of four male officers; having my phone and computer taken from me (for five months); being released 17.5 hours later; in the middle of the night with no access to transport.This experience was one of the most horrifying and frightening things that ever happened to me. Followed by being utterly humiliated in the press coverage of the case, published suspiciously mere hours after I'd said 'Not Guilty' in a court room. Not to mention losing my job, accommodation, all my savings and pensions, my good name and reputation. Everything, gone. With this Manifesto, I am trying to ensure that no other woman in the UK ever has to go through this again, but if she does, to help prepare her for what may sadly happen. It is dedicated to providing women with the knowledge, resources, and support they need to navigate the complexities of the British police and court system. I am not a lawyer, but my mission is to empower women to assert their rights, seek justice, and overcome the challenges they may face within the legal system. I believe that every woman deserves a fair and just experience when interacting with law enforcement and the courts, and I am committed to facilitating this through information and guidance.

This is the third book in the Warning Signs series. This volume will show how I began to see the abuse that was occurring, started questioning my trust in him, and found the courage to leave. It also depicts how people cope with the emotional abuse and inner turmoil of it all, how people leave, and how people grow afterward. ---Warning Signs, is my memoir about intimate partner violence (IPV), a subset of domestic violence (DV). It reads as though it is a fast-paced romance adventure story, but after every chapter there is a Warning Signs section that explains the domestic violence that was actually occurring. I am not only a DV survivor, but I am a therapist with extensive training in domestic violence principles; which I share in these Warning Signs chapters. ¿Warning Signs is one story in a series of three books; Volume 1 shows the story about how we met, fell in love, and began our relationship together. Volume 2 shows the story of our marriage, how our relationship changed, and why I stayed with him. Volume 3 shows how I began to understand what was happening, started questioning my trust in him, and eventually left him. My hope is that this book can teach people the warning signs so that people can: 1) Not enter abusive relationships; 2) Leave if they are in them; 3) Help people notice if someone is in an abusive relationship, and then teach them the warning signs so they leave; 4) Help people whose loved ones have experienced abuse understand what happened and why it was hard for them to see the signs and leave; and 5) Create a global discussion so that we can change these patterns, so as a society we can work toward ending abuse.As a community of people reading this book and people that care about survivors, I hope that we can help people make smart decisions.

This is the second book in the Warning Sign series, which helps people learn the warning signs of intimate partner violence (IPV) and domestic violence (DV). In this volume, I write about our marriage and how it felt, the good times and the bad. In these warning signs sections, you will learn about trauma bonding and other reasons people stay in abusive relationships.

Still They Speak from Beyond The Bolted Door is a very generational book - connecting ALL of our stories past/present and future. Every story matters, and this book is a collection of stories and quotes, and poems - reminding us that none of our stories are finished until ALL of our stories are finished. At this time let's consider the privilege of NOW being able to leave clues behind - whatever that might look like for each person. What an utter relief to find healing so that generations to come will find blessings instead of curses, and will have a crumb trail to follow to find purpose, faith, and hope. The journey might play out differently but the goal is the same - to get everyone home to heaven. Hebrews 11:39 & 40 tells us: "These (our ancestors) were all commended for their faith, yet NONE of them received what had been promised, since God had planned something better for US so that only together with us would they be made perfect." From the halls of eternity still they speak, cheering us on to embrace reckless courage to finish the race against all odds - not just for ourselves, but for those who were here before us, and for those who come after us. We must.

I applaud your courage for taking a stand against disrespect and abuse. It's not an easy thing to do because more often than not you stand alone. The yes-person and cowards are not going to support you. They are comfortable with the existing conditions or in alignment themselves with the dysfunction and your truth will rock the reality they have chosen to live in.
