This is the story of Major James Capers, Jr. (USMC Ret.) Jim was born to a family of sharecroppers in South Carolina who escaped to Baltimore, Maryland in the dead of night to escape the days of Jim Crow laws for a better life.

Book Description
I have suffered on so many fronts, losing my health to losing my family and all the pain that that caused me. I spent a whole year and more seemingly holding on through the worst storm I have ever been in. Physically there is still a long way to go and a long road is still before me but I know that God is not finished with healing me. Physically my recovery has been very slow and frustrating and I am sure that my frustration has shown itself in the pages of this book, however I can clearly say that I would not be where I am today without my faith in God. One Sunday members of my church prayed for me because I had just had results that showed that their was no nerve activity in my legs below my knees and that according to the doctors showed that I did have nerve damage in my legs, however a week after their prayers for me God gave me the strength to walk into church on my crutches. I had been able for some weeks to walk short distances around my home on my crutches with splints controlling the position of my feet so that I did not drag my toes on the floor. Although my lower legs were not healed of their weakness God gave me the strength to walk further than I had ever walked before, and for me that told me that without prayer we can not overcome or expect to see positive results. Prayer is always the answer as is Jesus! I still find today that I have to be very careful with how much I do on any given day as busy days do result in me being very fatigued. My energy levels do dip quite badly, living with disabilities does mean doing things differently and adapting and I have found that every day has its own set of challenges where it comes to my physical weaknesses. However I have found that when I lean on God he always gives me enough strength for each day.

Finding Jesus in the Storm
Author: John Swinton
Publisher: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing
ISBN: 1467460249
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
People living with mental health challenges are not excluded from God’s love or even the fullness of life promised by Jesus. Unfortunately, this hope is often lost amid the well-meaning labels and medical treatments that dominate the mental health field today. In Finding Jesus in the Storm, John Swinton makes the case for reclaiming that hope by changing the way we talk about mental health and remembering that, above all, people are people, regardless of how unconventionally they experience life. Finding Jesus in the Storm is a call for the church to be an epicenter of compassion for those experiencing depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and related difficulties. That means breaking free of the assumptions that often accompany these diagnoses, allowing for the possibility that people living within unconventional states of mental health might experience God in unique ways that are real and perhaps even revelatory. In each chapter, Swinton gives voice to those experiencing the mental health challenges in question, so readers can see firsthand what God’s healing looks like in a variety of circumstances. The result is a book about people instead of symptoms, description instead of diagnosis, and lifegiving hope for everyone in the midst of the storm.

Pages : 285
Book Description
The Storm That Grew My Faith" takes you on a roller coaster ride of emotions. The story of this family and Malachi's fight to become a strong healthy boy is an inspiration in Christian faith. The trials and tribulations will truly illustrate the power of God and the importance of faith in your life. As an adopted family member I have witnessed, with my own eyes, the power of God and the importance of a daily walk with Jesus. Before I met the Goldens, I was already saved by God's grace. However, I was not walking the path I knew I needed to be walking. We first met at the funeral of my brother and absolute best friend Billy and we immediately clicked. I have been able to watch little Malachi grow up into a firecracker of a kid and to see how quickly he has come so far is a true testament to the awesome powerof God. This book illustrates that, even where you are in the darkest place you've ever been in your life, the light that is your faith in Christ will guide you out of that darkness. Living through this with them and physically seeing the true power of faith has shown me that NOTHING is more important than walking in God's word. Faith WILL bring you out of the darkness and into the light.-Anthony JohnsonA story of struggle, pain, trials, and, ultimately, strength. Mr. Golden's experience with his trials gives a shining example of the tribulations and hardships that God tests our faith with. This is a true story of one man's test of faith, and the blessings and miracles that are bestowed to those who believe whole-heartedly. This story should shine as a reminder of God's will, and remind us that, although we may not understand why things are happening, God has a plan for everything. And we should trust in God and allow his will to flow through us. If you do not believe in miracles, I urge you to pick up this book and take to heart the many miracles instilled in its truth.-C. McCann
