Book Description
In Black Suffering, James Henry Harris explores the nexus of injustices, privations, and pains that contribute to the daily suffering seen and felt in the lives of Black folks. This suffering is so normalized in American life that it often goes unnoticed, unseen, and even--more often--purposely ignored. The reality of Black suffering is both omnipresent and complicated--both a reaction to and a result of the reality of white supremacy, its psychological and historical legacy, and its many insidious and fractured expressions within contemporary culture. Because Black suffering is so wholly disregarded, it must be named, discussed, and analyzed. Black Suffering articulates suffering as an everyday reality of Black life. Harris names suffering's many manifestations, both in history and in the present moment, and provides a unique portrait of the ways Black suffering has been understood by others. Drawing on decades of personal experience as a pastor, theologian, and educator, Harris gives voice to suffering's practical impact on church leaders as they seek to forge a path forward to address this huge and troubling issue. Black Suffering is both a mixtape and a call to consciousness, a work that identifies Black suffering, shines a light on the insidious normalization of the phenomenon, and begins a larger conversation about correcting the historical weight of suffering carried by Black people. The book combines elements of memoir, philosophy, historical analysis, literary criticism, sermonic discourse, and even creative nonfiction to present a "remix" of the suffering experienced daily by Black people.

Book Description
What do unrelated diseases such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s disease, obesity, asthma, depression, premature aging and an army of diseases ending with ‘it is’ such as gastritis, sinusitis, arthritis, have in common? Answer: The buzz word called inflammation. “Inflammation may well turn out to be the exclusive Holy Grail of medicine- the single phenomenon that holds the key to sickness & health,” firmly says Joel Meggs, author of The Inflammation Cure. Silent Inflammation falls just below the radar of pain & visible swelling. It is akin to living with a volcano inside you. Even though you are feeling well and on top of the world right now, odds are that silent inflammation can be simmering in your body. Like a slow poison, silent inflammation can gradually destroy your body organs & tissues without you feeling it until a chronic disease surfaces in the form of diabetes, heart disease or even cancer that may prove fatal. I challenge you today to make a decision to reduce silent inflammation in your body if you want to move towards wellness as every pain, every chronic disease and every pound of weight gained in your body revolves around silent inflammation. Control it and you will feel better, look better, think better and perform better. This is what this book is about.

Book Description
"In the midst of our suffering we need a wake-up call to the truth that God’s steadfast love never ceases.” —Dave Furman, Senior Pastor, Redeemer Church of Dubai; author, Being There and Kiss the Wave Are you feeling despondent, depressed, or discouraged? When we encounter severe trials and suffering, we are often tempted to think that our situation is somehow out of God’s hands. In these dark times, God seems silent, and we feel isolated, confused, and alone. Everyone experiences suffering; even the biblical writers expressed anguish at times. This emotion is clearly captured in the Psalms. Through these brief meditations on Psalms 88 and 89, Ligon Duncan shows us how to respond to our own suffering with the assurance of our heavenly Father’s mercy, which sustains us even in the darkest circumstances.

Book Description
This is my autobiography written in a fictional style. I was born into a well-to do-family, but happened to live in extreme poverty. After the death of my father, my mother had to raise seven children on her own, with nothing but hard work and love. With relentless effort, collective love and the support of my siblings, we have all managed to break through the nexus of poverty. Finding myself in a loveless marriage, I suffered three bouts of depression, which I tolerated because of my responsibility for looking after my three lovely children. The last depression was so powerful I came close to suicide. With the advice of some close friends, I managed to achieve an amazing recovery. The purpose of this book is to convey to people that both men and women can survive and move on with their lives and reach happiness. It further advocates: · If you contemplating suicide, talk to a close friend. · If you are in love with someone, do not marry anyone else. · If you have a duty, do it, no matter how many difficulties you may face. · Forget the past and stay with your own consciousness. You can find happiness, which is not too far away; it is within you.

Book Description
Part philosophical meditation, part cultural critique, The Body in Pain is a profoundly original study that has already stirred excitement in a wide range of intellectual circles. The book is an analysis of physical suffering and its relation to the numerous vocabularies and cultural forces--literary, political, philosophical, medical, religious--that confront it. Elaine Scarry bases her study on a wide range of sources: literature and art, medical case histories, documents on torture compiled by Amnesty International, legal transcripts of personal injury trials, and military and strategic writings by such figures as Clausewitz, Churchill, Liddell Hart, and Kissinger, She weaves these into her discussion with an eloquence, humanity, and insight that recall the writings of Hannah Arendt and Jean-Paul Sartre. Scarry begins with the fact of pain's inexpressibility. Not only is physical pain enormously difficult to describe in words--confronted with it, Virginia Woolf once noted, "language runs dry"--it also actively destroys language, reducing sufferers in the most extreme instances to an inarticulate state of cries and moans. Scarry analyzes the political ramifications of deliberately inflicted pain, specifically in the cases of torture and warfare, and shows how to be fictive. From these actions of "unmaking" Scarry turns finally to the actions of "making"--the examples of artistic and cultural creation that work against pain and the debased uses that are made of it. Challenging and inventive, The Body in Pain is landmark work that promises to spark widespread debate.

Book Description
An exploration of why people all over the world love to engage in pain on purpose--from dominatrices, religious ascetics, and ultramarathoners to ballerinas, icy ocean bathers, and sideshow performers Masochism is sexy, human, reviled, worshipped, and can be delightfully bizarre. Deliberate and consensual pain has been with us for millennia, encompassing everyone from Black Plague flagellants to ballerinas dancing on broken bones to competitive eaters choking down hot peppers while they cry. Masochism is a part of us. It lives inside workaholics, tattoo enthusiasts, and all manner of garden variety pain-seekers. At its core, masochism is about feeling bad, then better—a phenomenon that is long overdue for a heartfelt and hilarious investigation. And Leigh Cowart would know: they are not just a researcher and science writer—they’re an inveterate, high-sensation seeking masochist. And they have a few questions: Why do people engage in masochism? What are the benefits and the costs? And what does masochism have to say about the human experience? By participating in many of these activities themselves, and through conversations with psychologists, fellow scientists, and people who seek pain for pleasure, Cowart unveils how our minds and bodies find meaning and relief in pain—a quirk in our programming that drives discipline and innovation even as it threatens to swallow us whole.
