Pages : 98
Book Description
"I watched so many people close to me never deal with their issues. They would sweep them under the rug as if hiding them would make them disappear. They were too concerned about their "image" being toyed with; therefore, they kept these "secrets." In Blessed Beyond the Bruises, Angel Jackson breaks the generational curses of keeping things secret. In the most intimate testimonial to date, Angel shares the lowest of valleys and the highest of mountaintops experienced throughout her life. With being sexually abused, starting at the tender age of 12 years old, Angel shares the darkest times of her life and how she overcame them by the power of God. With great transparency in every chapter, she talks about the power of validation, saying no to suicide, surrendering to Christ, experiencing tragedy after salvation, the healing process, and ultimately being blessed beyond the bruises. With nothing left uncovered, her life changing story about her journey from brokenness to wholeness is one of great hope and healing. Angel boldly testifies about topics such as: -Validation and low self-esteem -Molestation and rape -Suicide -Isolation -Relationships -Bondage -Finding your voice

One Coin Found
Author: Emmy Kegler
Publisher: Fortress Press
ISBN: 1506448291
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
The stories of Scripture are for everyone. No exceptions. Emmy Kegler has a complicated relationship with the Bible. As a queer woman who grew up in both conservative Evangelical and progressive Protestant churches, she knows too well how Scripture can be used to wound and exclude. And yet, the stories of Scripture continue to captivate and inspire her--both as a person of faith and as a pastor to a congregation. So she set out to fall in love with the Bible, wrestling with the stories inside, where she met a God who continues to seek us out--appearing again and again as a voice, a presence, and a promise. Whenever we are pushed to the edges, our voices silenced, or our stories dismissed, God goes out after us--seeking us until we are found again. And God is seeking out those whose voices we too quickly silence and dismiss, too. Because God's story is a story of welcome and acceptance for everyone--no exceptions. Kegler shows us that even when we feel like lost and dusty coins--rusted from others' indifference, misspent and misused--God picks up a broom and sweeps every corner of creation to find us.

Seduced by Twilight
Author: Natalie Wilson
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 0786485612
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 245
Book Description
Stephenie Meyer's Twilight saga has maintained a tight grip on the contemporary cultural imagination. This timely and critical work examines how the Twilight series offers addictively appealing messages about love, romance, sex, beauty and body image, and how these charged themes interact with cultural issues regarding race, class, gender and sexuality. Through a careful analysis of the texts, the fandom and the current socio-historical climate, this work argues that the success of the Twilight series stems chiefly from Meyer's negotiation of cultural mores.
