Hope Makes Me Not Ashamed
Author: Dr. Frances Harris
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1984573675
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 152
Book Description
This book is about my life journey, about finding myself as I was lost in my fears and the battle with shame and guilt, and about how my spiritual life—guided by God—is full of twists and turns as I experienced his leading voice and as he silently toured me through it all: the struggle of an inherited fear of being alone; my suppressed feelings of hope for a better day through a life of pain, struggles, hurt, and disappointments; trying to reach, through faith and hope, a place of peace, happiness, and true joy within myself; being taught life struggles through shame, pain, and personal struggles; victory through inner healing and a meaningful purpose; the lost hope experienced in witnessing my husband’s murder; and learning that we can spend time helping others, never ourselves. We can carry others when they need carrying but leave ourselves behind with no one to carry us but God. Sometimes our heartfelt love for God is tested, and we should not allow that test to push us away from his presence. This is to encourage the reader that your hopes and dreams, which are in you, are put there as a goal and platform for your life. No matter how long it takes, keep hoping you will fulfill that destiny and keep reaching, and the inner spirit will guide you, help you, and heal you then place you in life’s purpose. You will learn that there is a hidden plan for everyone’s life, but unfortunately, everyone doesn’t push long enough to acquire it.

Sexual Murder
Author: Louis B. Schlesinger
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1000350436
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 312
Book Description
Sexual Murder: Catathymic and Compulsive Homicides is the culmination of the author’s 45 years of experience with, and studying, sexually motivated homicide. Sexual murders are generally of two types — catathymic and compulsive. Catathymic homicides are caused by a breakthrough of underlying sexual conflicts. They can be unplanned, explosive (acute) attacks or planned murders stemming from a chronic obsession with, or disturbed attachment to, the victim. In compulsive homicides, a fusion of sex and aggression results in a powerful internal drive which pushes the offender to seek out victims to kill — and the killing itself is sexually gratifying. These murders also may be planned or unplanned. In compulsive homicides that are unplanned, the urge breaks through and disrupts the offender’s controls when a victim of opportunity crosses his path. The compulsive offender who plans his crimes often eludes law enforcement, and as a result he can have multiple (serial) victims over extended periods of time. Both forms of sexual murder — the catathymic and the compulsive — are presented in this volume from a clinical-descriptive perspective encompassing case studies with analysis. Recent advances in empirical research in sexual murder—including findings from the joint research project between John Jay College of Criminal Justice and the FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit in Quantico—has published many important studies. These include such topics as necrophilia, foreign object insertions in sexual homicide, ritual and signature and temporal patterns in serial sexual homicide, mass murder, crime scene staging in homicide, and undoing (symbolic reversal) at homicide scenes. All such research will be included and incorporate into this fully updated Second Edition, including approximately fifty new clinical case studies.

Book Description
I’m Ivy Lane, and if I never see another faerie again, it’ll be too soon. Twenty years after the faeries came and destroyed the world as we knew it, I use my specialist skills to keep rogue faeries in line and ensure humans and their magically gifted neighbours can coexist (relatively) peacefully. Nobody knows those skills came from the darkest corner of Faerie itself. When a human child disappears, replaced with a faerie changeling, I have to choose between taking the safe road or exposing my own history with the faeries to the seductively dangerous head of the Mage Lords. He’s the exact kind of distraction I don’t need, but it’s work with him or lose my chance to save the victims. It’ll take all my skills to catch the kidnappers and stop Faerie’s dark denizens overrunning the city — but if the faerie lords find out about the magic I stole last time I went into their realm, running won’t save me this time… Faerie Blood is the first book in the Changeling Chronicles urban fantasy series. If you love twisty plots, fast-paced action, and magical found family, you won’t want to miss this epic urban fantasy series for fans of Hailey Edwards, Heather G. Harris, and Lindsay Buroker.
