She was a Daddy's Girl and the oldest of all siblings. She was trying to understand God with questions and challenges that existed in the home from the rules and Doctrines of the Christian Church. Michelle shared experiences with her father and family, the Pastor of the church, and the trauma endured within the Christian Church and others in the communities with name-calling. This book was written to inspire others to know that God is real and that your life matters.

Book Synopsis Leaving the Witness by : Amber Scorah
Download or read book Leaving the Witness written by Amber Scorah and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-06-02 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A fascinating glimpse into the consciousness of being an outsider in every possible way, and what it takes to find your path into the life you'd like to lead."--Nylon A riveting memoir of losing faith and finding freedom while a covert missionary in one of the world's most restrictive countries. A third-generation Jehovah's Witness, Amber Scorah had devoted her life to sounding God's warning of impending Armageddon. She volunteered to take the message to China, where the preaching she did was illegal and could result in her expulsion or worse. Here, she had some distance from her community for the first time. Immersion in a foreign language and culture--and a whole new way of thinking--turned her world upside down, and eventually led her to lose all that she had been sure was true. As a proselytizer in Shanghai, using fake names and secret codes to evade the authorities' notice, Scorah discreetly looked for targets in public parks and stores. To support herself, she found work at a Chinese language learning podcast, hiding her real purpose from her coworkers. Now with a creative outlet, getting to know worldly people for the first time, she began to understand that there were other ways of seeing the world and living a fulfilling life. When one of these relationships became an "escape hatch," Scorah's loss of faith culminated in her own personal apocalypse, the only kind of ending possible for a Jehovah's Witness. Shunned by family and friends as an apostate, Scorah was alone in Shanghai and thrown into a world she had only known from the periphery--with no education or support system. A coming of age story of a woman already in her thirties, this unforgettable memoir examines what it's like to start one's life over again with an entirely new identity. It follows Scorah to New York City, where a personal tragedy forces her to look for new ways to find meaning in the absence of religion. With compelling, spare prose, Leaving the Witness traces the bittersweet process of starting over, when everything one's life was built around is gone.
Book Synopsis The Book of Mormon Girl by : Joanna Brooks
Download or read book The Book of Mormon Girl written by Joanna Brooks and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-08-07 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From her days of feeling like “a root beer among the Cokes”—Coca-Cola being a forbidden fruit for Mormon girls like her—Joanna Brooks always understood that being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints set her apart from others. But, in her eyes, that made her special; the devout LDS home she grew up in was filled with love, spirituality, and an emphasis on service. With Marie Osmond as her celebrity role model and plenty of Sunday School teachers to fill in the rest of the details, Joanna felt warmly embraced by the community that was such an integral part of her family. But as she grew older, Joanna began to wrestle with some tenets of her religion, including the Church’s stance on women’s rights and homosexuality. In 1993, when the Church excommunicated a group of feminists for speaking out about an LDS controversy, Joanna found herself searching for a way to live by the leadings of her heart and the faith she loved. The Book of Mormon Girl is a story about leaving behind the innocence of childhood belief and embracing the complications and heartbreaks that come to every adult life of faith. Joanna’s journey through her faith explores a side of the religion that is rarely put on display: its humanity, its tenderness, its humor, its internal struggles. In Joanna’s hands, the everyday experience of being a Mormon—without polygamy, without fundamentalism—unfolds in fascinating detail. With its revelations about a faith so often misunderstood and characterized by secrecy, The Book of Mormon Girl is a welcome advocate and necessary guide.

When Kimberley Wesley was accused of disobedience and informed that her services as minister of music were no longer needed, she was devastated and felt betrayed. Fortunately one woman saw Kimberley's pain and reached out to her. Through that act of kindness, Kimberley found her way back into church and ministry, and God began to show her how forgiveness, prayer, and love for your enemies inspires spiritual growth. Surviving the Storms: One Woman's Struggle with Church Hurt illuminates the church for what it is—a group of people. People aren't perfect, and don't be fooled into thinking that everyone who smiles at you has your best interest at heart. But if you follow the advice of Kimberley Wesley, you'll be able to overcome the anger and bitterness Satan wants you to hold on to and offer forgiveness and love to those who persecute you.

Book Synopsis Gay Girl, Good God by : Jackie Hill Perry
Download or read book Gay Girl, Good God written by Jackie Hill Perry and published by B&H Publishing Group. This book was released on 2018-09-03 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I used to be a lesbian.” In Gay Girl, Good God, author Jackie Hill Perry shares her own story, offering practical tools that helped her in the process of finding wholeness. Jackie grew up fatherless and experienced gender confusion. She embraced masculinity and homosexuality with every fiber of her being. She knew that Christians had a lot to say about all of the above. But was she supposed to change herself? How was she supposed to stop loving women, when homosexuality felt more natural to her than heterosexuality ever could? At age nineteen, Jackie came face-to-face with what it meant to be made new. And not in a church, or through contact with Christians. God broke in and turned her heart toward Him right in her own bedroom in light of His gospel. Read in order to understand. Read in order to hope. Or read in order, like Jackie, to be made new.

From a very early age she suffered several tragedies and losses that would scar her in her mind and body. At the age of 10 Marge was assaulted in her own home by a family member and this type of assault would continue for years and scar her even further. These events would push her into a lifestyle and down a road that would be filled with more heartache and depression. The more she searched for love the more she found loss. The more she tried to accomplish the more inadequate she felt. A mother at 16 and married at 17, Marge had no clue as to how to be a wife and mother. All she knew was men and sex went hand in hand and happiness was a fairy tale. Throughout it all if she knew nothing else she knew God and scripture. She didn't have a relationship with the Lord but she knew how to get in touch with Him. What do you do when who you are destined to be is trapped inside if who you are?

Book excerpt: "Just As I'm in my truth. It is me, plain and unvarnished, with the glitter and garland put aside. On these pages, I'm indeed Cicely, the actress who has been blessed to grace the stage and screen for 6 decades. Yet I'm also the church girl who once rarely spoke a word. I'm the teenager who sought solace within the verses of the old hymn that this book is known as. I'm a daughter and mother, a sister, and a lover. I'm an observer of attributes and therefore the dreamer of audacious dreams. I'm a lady who has hurt as immeasurably as I even have loved, a toddler of God divinely guided by His hand. And here in my ninth decade, i'm a lady who, at long last, has something meaningful to mention ." -Cicely Tyson
