Book Synopsis Rock-Bottom Blessings by : Karen Beattie
Download or read book Rock-Bottom Blessings written by Karen Beattie and published by Loyola Press. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean to live an abundant life? Some might say living abundantly means living comfortably, having the family you always dreamed of, receiving accolades from your peers, in short—living a life that is commonly accepted by many as blessed. But what if having an abundant life is more than the “good life”? Can we actually be blessed in the midst of serious disappointments and setbacks? In Rock-Bottom Blessings, Karen Beattie makes the case that true abundance is found in the transformation that happens when we experience God’s presence during periods of grief, loss, and disappointment. With the help of her friends and her newfound Catholic faith, she learns to trust that God’s plan is better than hers. Beattie began to see life’s challenges as gifts to be accepted like all other gifts: with reverence and gratitude. Beattie’s story makes abundantly clear: it is the suffering, death, and resurrection of Christ (the paschal mystery) that can inspire us not only to find blessings in every season of our lives, but to be utterly transformed by God’s riches.

Book Synopsis How to Pull Yourself up from Rock Bottom to Success by : Dave Williams
Download or read book How to Pull Yourself up from Rock Bottom to Success written by Dave Williams and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2010-10-27 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Living a GOD–centered life is the only way to have peace, joy and “Success” on this earthly journey. GOD is an awesome GOD. This book will help you to not only hear the voice of GOD but persuade you to immediately start following GOD’s Words to achieve “Success.” As you may know or will learn, life is an amazing journey. It is full of opportunities, disappointments, excitement and the unknown. 1 Peter 1:13 states, “Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.” GOD wants to help us achieve our goals and if it’s in His will, GOD will make your greatest dream a reality. So, never give up, keep on believing, expecting and declaring that good things will happen for you each day. I am still hopeful that eventually there will be peace on this earth if it’s GOD’s will. John 14:27(NIV) states, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”

Book Synopsis From Rock Bottom to Mountain Tops by : Frankie M. Powers
Download or read book From Rock Bottom to Mountain Tops written by Frankie M. Powers and published by . This book was released on 2021-07-29 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After three weeks of having relapsed, I entered Hanley Rehabilitation Center in West Palm Beach. A rehabilitation center for alcoholics and drug addicts. I had no idea what I had in store for me but having been in Marine Corp boot camp over twenty years prior, I prepared mentally for the journey before me. My experiences throughout my life had been rooted in heartache, disappointments and anger. I resented many people around me. I continued playing over and over in my mind my regrets, past failures and feelings of not being enough to those I loved. Upon exiting Hanley, I surrendered. I fully surrendered to life, to control, and to the only One who dictated the obstacles and blessings that would come my way, I surrendered to God. I took a two-year hiatus traveling throughout the country, discovering endless possibilities and a far different way of living. I learned to fully love myself, which, without that, I would have stayed paralyzed and stuck in regret, frozen in fear for the rest of my life. I learned about the power of our thoughts, the importance of being present and the need to find fulfillment in life. I became an expert in communication skills and relationships and became aware that most of us don't even see a glimpse of what is possible and attainable in them. I learned that where you focus your attention, your energy and emotions in your life attach to that. What I also discovered, along the way, was my purpose for living, my passion, the one thing that sets my soul on fire. I became aware of my lifelong love affair with people, with watching people glow and helping people grow. I learned that every single individual is born with certain inherent gifts given to them by their Creator, that they are graced with, that are uniquely theirs. It is their mission in life to discover what that is and gift it to the world. I learned the value of serving my fellow man and being a giver rather than a taker in every opportunity presented. Every experience I share with you in this book, my memoir, has made me the man I am today. There is nothing that has occurred or happened to me that was an accident or a mistake. In my journey, it was through the virtues of faith, hope and love that overcame and conquered any and all obstacles and hardships that I had ever endured. I now spend my life giving unto others as an empowerment coach, life guide and strategist; to explore with anyone who I have been blessed with their presence, with the opportunity to jointly find what it is holding them back from having the breakthroughs in life they are destined to discover. I have completely reshaped my physical body, as well as my emotional, spiritual, and mental makeup. I have overcome obesity, alcoholism, divorce, heartache, depression, anxiety, as well as, suicidal thoughts and desires. I may not know the hardships that some of you are going through, but I understand what it feels like to feel hopeless, alone and afraid. The transformation process was a long journey, but the end result has given me a whole new perspective in life. In doing so, I have become a better man, friend, father and human being. My test has become my testimony. Everything you desire in your life is there for the taking if you can get out of your own way. Seek and thee shall find, knock and the door shall be opened. It's time to break free to have the life that you were destined to live.
Book Synopsis Where Are My Blessings? by : Doreen Lynn Leavitt
Download or read book Where Are My Blessings? written by Doreen Lynn Leavitt and published by WestBowPress. This book was released on 2014-01-31 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Did I Do to Deserve This? I was wondering this one day in prayer and was even bold enough to ask. Lord, I’m a good person, really—what did I do to deserve this? I even listed my good qualities to my Father because He seemed to need to be reminded. I only asked because I felt like I needed a reassuring word of how much God loves me or, how special I am to Him, or that these rough times would be coming to an end shortly. So, God in His wisdom and understanding of my self-pity and lack of inner-confidence at this moment took me to Hebrews 12:5 “And have you quite forgotten the encouraging words God spoke to you, His child?” Look here, God was ready to encourage me, His child. How awesome is He? “He said, ‘My son (daughter), don’t be angry when the Lord punishes you. Don’t be discouraged when He has to show you where you are wrong.’” What? I don’t get it. Exactly, I didn’t get it. That was why I had to pray, Lord: don’t let me miss it. He was going to make sure that I didn’t miss it so that I could receive the full blessings of being a child of God. “Where Are My Blessings is written in a direct and challenging style to inspire those seeking a deeper and more intimate relationship with Jesus. The author writes in a conversational style encouraging the Believer not to ‘miss it!’ Whether or not you are going through tough times, or you are currently in a better place, Where Are My Blessings clearly teaches how to live a life that is not all about you, but all about Him!” —Larry Hoekman, seminar speaker, counselor, and devotional blogger

Download or read book Many Blessings written by Weedn Sonnee and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many Blessings: A Tapestry of Accomplished African American Women by Sonnee Weedn, Ph.D. Ten years ago, Marin County psychologist, Dr. Sonnee Weedn, was asked to treat a young, urban, African American woman. Believing that as a white woman living in the reality of de facto segregation, she was not knowledgeable enough to treat this woman in psychotherapy, she set about to learn more about African American culture. This stimulated her thinking about African American women. What was it that allowed them to survive and thrive despite the double prejudice of racism and sexism. She wondered about the historical implications of the confluence of the Civil Rights Movement and the Women's Movement on this particular cohort of women, most who had come of age during law-enforced segregation. She traveled the country for three years, interviewing many African American women, some famous and others unknown except in their own particular circles of influence. She studied these women to determine what encouraged them to transcend discrimination and other obstacles they faced in order to rise up and claim their destinies as powerful and altruistic women. Ultimately, she chose thirty-one of the women she interviewed to represent the seven strengths she identified as having sustained them and allowed them to flourish. She believes that these seven strengths are the historical legacy of all African American women today, and encourages all women, regardless of ethnicity to learn from their example to increase their own resilience and determination.

Download or read book Rock Bottom written by R E Brooks and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2021-06-29 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in a world that's crumbling around us. The Richter scale of problems and pain is off the chart. When a nation decides to push God out, the door is left open for a life built on a 7+1 foundation (Luke 11:25). When the Lord is waiting for someone you love at the bottom of their situation, every time you intercept them from hitting rock bottom you delay their meeting with God and themselves. Sometimes people end up lost because of our attempts to save them. As the prodigal son came to himself at the bottom of his situation so it is with some people in our lives. Where is your meeting with God scheduled? I've had my share of meetings with the Lord at rock bottom, not comfortable but sometimes necessary. Pray that the Lord doesn't set up a meeting with you at rock bottom. If you can help it, be willing to meet with him elsewhere. Rock bottom is a modern day story from the biblical parable of the prodigal son. Just like the prodigal son, God has provided a way for us to come to ourselves and return back to him.
