Coming Out of a Dark Place

Languages : en
Pages : 142
Book Description
"Coming Out of a Dark Place" is a must read for you or someone you know who is walking through a devastating situation at the hand of someone they love. This book has the ability to give you the hope as well as the tools needed to not just survive the pain, but to help you become whole. A timely lesson, lived and walked out by the author. I know, because I watched it first-hand. Felicia's story has unfortunately played out in many lives; but her ability to experience a pain so devastating that it could rock your sanity and then be able to come back, in itself is incredible. But then to add the ability to tell just enough of the experience to bring her reader to the depth of this pain, then flip the switch and equally walk you through the "power of forgiveness" is a sheer work of the Master Himself, showing us all what it means when He said he would turn your "ashes into glory." Felicia's experience has made her truly empathetic to the suffering of another having walked in those shoes. Her willingness to allow God to bring her out of that dark place has clothed her with an anointing to bring deliverance to those who find themselves walking a similar road. The added bonus of this story is, you don't have to put yourself clearly in these pages. This read is both a book and life-book that will assist you in your life's journey.

The story of the most terrifying case of demonic possession in the United States. It became the basis for the hit film “The Haunting in Connecticut” starring Virginia Madsen.

Into the Darkest Places
Author: Marcus West
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 0429915152
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 314
Book Description
This book explores the roots of borderline states of mind in early relational trauma and shows how it is possible, and necessary, to visit 'the darkest places' in order to work through these traumas. This is despite the fact that re-experiencing such traumas is unbearable for the patient and they naturally want to enlist the analyst in ensuring that they will never be experienced again. This is the backdrop for the extreme pressures and roles that are constellated in the analysis that can lead to impasse or breakdown of the analytic relationship. The author explores how these areas can be negotiated safely and that, whilst drawing heavily on recent developments in attachment, relational, trauma and infant development theory, an analytic attitude needs to be maintained in order to integrate these experiences and allow the individual to feel, finally, accepted and whole. The book builds on Freud's views of repetition compulsion and re-enactment and develops Jung's concept of the traumatic complex.

Book Description
America's greatest crime writer investigates his mother's murder. On 21 June 1958, Geneva Hilliker Ellroy left her home in California. She was found strangled the next day. Her ten year-old son James had been with her estranged husband all weekend and was informed of her death on his return. Her murderer was never found, but her death had an enduring effect on her son - he spent his teens and early adult years as a wino, petty burglar and derelict. Only later, through his obsession with crime fiction, triggered by his mother's murder, did Ellroy begin to delve into his past. Shortly after the publication of his groundbreaking novel WHITE JAZZ, he determined to return to Los Angeles and, with the help of veteran detective Bill Stoner, attempt to solve the 38-year-old killing. The result is one of the few classics of crime non-fiction and autobiography to appear in the last few decades; a hypnotic trip to America's underbelly and one man's tortured soul.

Pages : 189
Book Description
Defense attorney Robin Lockwood faces an unimaginable personal disaster and her greatest professional challenge in the next New York Times bestselling Phillip Margolin's new legal thriller, The Darkest Place. Robin Lockwood is an increasingly prominent defense attorney in the Portland community. A Yale graduate and former MMA fighter, she's becoming known for her string of innovative and successful defense strategies. As a favor to a judge, Robin takes on the pro bono defense of a reprehensible defendant charged with even more reprehensible crimes. But what she doesn't know—what she can't know—is how this one decision, this one case, will wreak complete devastation on her life and plans. As she recovers from those consequences, Robin heads home to her small town of Elk Grove and the bosom of her family. As she tries to recuperate, a unique legal challenge presents itself—Marjorie Loman, a surrogate, is accused of kidnapping the baby she carried for another couple, and assaulting that couple in the process. There's no question that she committed these actions but that's not the same as being guilty of the crime. As Robin works to defend her client, she learns that Marjorie Loman has been hiding under a fake identity and is facing a warrant for her arrest for another, even more serious crime. And buried within the truth may once again be unexpected, deadly consequences.
