A Bridge to Hope
Author: Camilla Neff
Publisher: Made for Grace Publishing
ISBN: 9781641463935
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 198
Book Description
A Bridge to Hope tells the heart-wrenching story of the loss of Camilla Neff's daughter Serena Nadine, who died unexpectedly during delivery. With compassion and empathy for grieving parents everywhere, Neff shares the raw emotions and anguish of the loss of her first full-term baby girl. She shares the deeply personal journey of wading through the layers of grief and pain that engulfed her, to ultimately learning to live again in a new reality after her world was completely shattered. The journey of grief, especially in losing a child, can be so lonely and feel so hopeless that Neff's greatest desire for bereaved mothers is that her experience can help them feel heard and seen, and even give them hope that there is a way to rebuild a life beyond the catastrophic. This book is also for anyone who has experienced a profound loss, not only the loss of a child. But it is particularly attuned to the deep, persistent mourning of the parent that has lost a child. Are you walking through a deep tunnel that is so dark that you feel suffocated by the intensity of the blackness? Are your days filled with on-and-off crying that never seems to fully let up? Do you feel like there's an actual hole in your heart, one that no temporary joy, no empathy or intended comfort can ever fill? Are you plagued with constant "what ifs?" that keep you awake late at night, deny you of much-needed sleep and peace of mind? Do you feel like a knife has been plunged into your chest and your heart has been shredded? Do you feel like the rain continues to pour and wonder if the clouds will ever lift? Do you wonder how you will survive just one more day, one more hour, even one more moment, with such debilitating pain of heart, agony of soul and torment of mind? If you currently live with, or have lived with, these emotions every day, then A Bridge to Hopemay be the conduit for healing you've been longing for.

Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • ECPA BESTSELLER • “When it comes to the intersection of race, privilege, justice, and the church, Tasha is without question my best teacher. Be the Bridge is THE tool I wish to put in every set of hands.”—Jen Hatmaker WINNER OF THE CHRISTIAN BOOK AWARD® • Winner of the Christianity Today Book Award • A leading advocate for racial reconciliation calls Christians to move toward deeper understanding in the midst of a divisive culture. In an era where we seem to be increasingly divided along racial lines, many are hesitant to step into the gap, fearful of saying or doing the wrong thing. At times the silence, particularly within the church, seems deafening. But change begins with an honest conversation among a group of Christians willing to give a voice to unspoken hurts, hidden fears, and mounting tensions. These ongoing dialogues have formed the foundation of a global movement called Be the Bridge—a nonprofit organization whose goal is to equip the church to have a distinctive and transformative response to racism and racial division. In this perspective-shifting book, founder Latasha Morrison shows how you can participate in this incredible work and replicate it in your own community. With conviction and grace, she examines the historical complexities of racism. She expertly applies biblical principles, such as lamentation, confession, and forgiveness, to lay the framework for restoration. Along with prayers, discussion questions, and other resources to enhance group engagement, Be the Bridge presents a compelling vision of what it means for every follower of Jesus to become a bridge builder—committed to pursuing justice and racial unity in light of the gospel.

The Bridge of Beyond
Author: Simone Schwarz-Bart
Publisher: New York Review of Books
ISBN: 1590176804
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
This is an intoxicating tale of love and wonder, mothers and daughters, spiritual values and the grim legacy of slavery on the French Antillean island of Guadeloupe. Here long-suffering Telumee tells her life story and tells us about the proud line of Lougandor women she continues to draw strength from. Time flows unevenly during the long hot blue days as the madness of the island swirls around the villages, and Telumee, raised in the shelter of wide skirts, must learn how to navigate the adversities of a peasant community, the ecstasies of love, and domestic realities while arriving at her own precious happiness. In the words of Toussine, the wise, tender grandmother who raises her, “Behind one pain there is another. Sorrow is a wave without end. But the horse mustn’t ride you, you must ride it.” A masterpiece of Caribbean literature, The Bridge of Beyond relates the triumph of a generous and hopeful spirit, while offering a gorgeously lush, imaginative depiction of the flora, landscape, and customs of Guadeloupe. Simone Schwarz-Bart’s incantatory prose, interwoven with Creole proverbs and lore, appears here in a remarkable translation by Barbara Bray.

Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 218
Book Description
WITH A FOREWORD BY HRH PRINCE WILLIAM In 2008, twenty year-old Jonny Benjamin stood on Waterloo Bridge, about to jump. A stranger saw his distress and stopped to talk with him - a decision that saved Jonny's life. Fast forward to 2014 and Jonny, together with Rethink Mental Illness launch a campaign with a short video clip so that Jonny could finally thank that stranger who put him on the path to recovery. More than 319 million people around the world followed the search. ITV's breakfast shows picked up the story until the stranger, whose name is Neil Laybourn, was found and - in an emotional and touching moment - the pair re-united and have remained firm friends ever since. The Stranger on the Bridge is a memoir of the journey Jonny made both personally, and publicly to not only find the person who saved his life, but also to explore how he got to the bridge in the first place and how he continues to manage his diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder. Using extracts from diaries Jonny has been writing from the age of thirteen, this book is a deeply personal memoir with a unique insight on mental health. Jonny was recognised for his work as an influential activist, changing the culture around mental health, when he was awarded an MBE in 2017. He and Neil now work full-time together visiting schools, hospitals, prisons and workplaces to help end the stigma by talking about mental health and suicide prevention. The pair ran the London Marathon together in 2017 in aid of HeadsTogether. Following the global campaign to find the stranger, in 2015 Channel 4 made a documentary of Jonny's search which has now been shown in 14 territories.
