Book Description
Secrets...they exists for all of us. It takes courage to face the raw truth—a truth characterized by molestation, incest, physical abuse, domestic violence, denial, fear, shame, and pain. It takes God to help clean out a closet of that magnitude—the family's closet. Journey with author Delton Adams Sr. as he recounts a horrific life story exposing his very dark and evil childhood from hell. Death had viciously sprinted after me since age three when my female babysitter would oftentimes suffocate me with her extreme acts of sexual abuse. At age seven, my next babysitter made me think that I might bleed to death after repeatedly raping me in spite of him being my uncle. And at the begging mercy of my father's Hitler-like dictatorship parenting, I was sure to die whenever he violently beat me upside down with that drop cord as if I were a disobedient slave-child. The sight of my own blood became commonplace between the trauma of my extreme physical abuse and rape sessions. My mother was helpless because extreme domestic violence was a part of her daily survival. Eventually in my adulthood, I qualified for a desperately needed divine intervention plan to break a fifth-generation curse which I chronicled back to the 1800s. Loving women and being attracted to men simultaneously had destroyed my marriage and several times almost cost me my life due to self-destructive behaviors. My inner struggle for divine purpose became a daily mental battle, but God has assured me already that I'm an overcomer. This book tackles very complex and diverse social issues with real talk. It is a personal testament of a man able to move beyond betrayal and mistrust that strongly influenced his perceptions and personal behavior for much of his life. This book will help you to: • face your shame, fears, and pain courageously; • avoid the paths of self-destruction; and • bring healing and deliverance to your broken heart and soul to move forward. If it's time for a breakthrough in your life, this is the book you must read. The spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of the sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised (Luke 4:18).

Book Description
*The basis for the wonderfully funny and moving TV series developed by Amy Poehler and Scout Productions* A charming, practical, and unsentimental approach to putting a home in order while reflecting on the tiny joys that make up a long life. In Sweden there is a kind of decluttering called döstädning, dö meaning “death” and städning meaning “cleaning.” This surprising and invigorating process of clearing out unnecessary belongings can be undertaken at any age or life stage but should be done sooner than later, before others have to do it for you. In The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning, artist Margareta Magnusson, with Scandinavian humor and wisdom, instructs readers to embrace minimalism. Her radical and joyous method for putting things in order helps families broach sensitive conversations, and makes the process uplifting rather than overwhelming. Margareta suggests which possessions you can easily get rid of (unworn clothes, unwanted presents, more plates than you’d ever use) and which you might want to keep (photographs, love letters, a few of your children’s art projects). Digging into her late husband’s tool shed, and her own secret drawer of vices, Margareta introduces an element of fun to a potentially daunting task. Along the way readers get a glimpse into her life in Sweden, and also become more comfortable with the idea of letting go.

Book Description
Catechists have a lot on their plates. Teaching about the Catholic faith is not simple or easyand who knows this better than they? The best catechists have learned that ultimately all of their teaching centers around Jesus: his teachings, the sacraments, the Eucharistic liturgy, and all of our Catholic customs and traditions. These include Catholic Social Teaching. Jesus is at the heart here too, for all social teaching focuses on loving and serving others as Jesus does. Here Sr. Janet Schaeffler offers catechists creative (and fun) ways to focus on Catholic Social Teachings with those they teach (and their parents). By doing so, they are living their baptism as disciples of Jesus. And, she describes all this from A to Z, quite literally.
