Purpose Beyond Pain by Paula Byabagamba Pdf

Like every girl, Paula Byabagamba dreamed of a life full of love, protection, joy, and happiness. But those dreams were shattered when she found herself all alone, unprotected, and vulnerable. Feeling unworthy and unloved, with more questions than answers, she uttered desperate cries of worship to God for answers. As a result, she developed a deep and personal relationship with the Lord. Now free from anger, hatred, shame, and unforgiveness, she tells the story of her life in Purpose Beyond Pain. This is a tale of a girl who embarks on a journey from a refugee camp, travels to a scary city full of people speaking different languages, returns home to her war-torn country, Rwanda, and then eventually moves to Canada. In her journey, she discovers the power of God and His amazing grace that covers you when you’re vulnerable and naked. If you find yourself lost in the pain of your circumstances, this story will remind you that there is hope for a better, satisfying, and whole life. Paula demonstrates that temporary life circumstances don’t have to change the authentic person you were created to become. We have a God-given power, through the Holy Spirit, to change our lives and the lives of those around us for the better.

Beyond Pain and Suffering by Tom Seaman Pdf

To move beyond pain and suffering does not necessarily mean to live without pain and suffering. It means learning to adapt to adversity so the most difficult parts of our lives are no longer the most significant parts of our lives. Life comes at us quickly and is like a series of doors. Sometimes we don't like the doors we have to go through, but we still have to walk through them. We all experience hardships in our lives so it is of great help to have tools in place for challenges we are experiencing in the moment to minimize despair, as well as unpredictable stressors such as pain, trauma, diseases and other illnesses, financial trouble, relationship issues, loss, fear, anxiety, and depression, to name just a few. This book provides practical concepts and strategies for how to cope and manage these and other situations to reduce the burden they bring, be it physical, emotional, or both. When we learn to live beyond our pain and suffering, our physical and/or emotional challenges do not become the dominant force in our lives.

Beyond Pain by Maureen Pratt Pdf

Beyond Pain is an in-depth look at how people cano not only live with pain but come to see it and all suffering with the eyes of faith. This is also a book about two remarkable, pain-filled lives from Scripture, Job and Jesus. The author believes that Job has much to teach those in pain. He is like each of us, she says, human and trying to do the right thing out of our flawed-but-faithful hearts. And Jesus, of course is the prime example of accepting and embracing pain even as he died on the cross. Though many of us still need strength, courage, and self-awareness to build our faith and ministry, the author says, we have Jesus' light to guide us, and his example to emulate. This book challenges readers to follow the example of Job and most of all Jesus, in accepting pain and in believing there are many joys awaiting them, if they choose to reach out, look, hope and live...beyond pain. Her book is for anyone who lives with deep, life-altering pain and who wants to have more joy, faith, and purpose. As Job did. As Jesus did.

Half-Hearted Hope by Amy Koslowski Pdf

Hope's diagnosis shook us to the core. We barely understood the doctor's words. Hypoplastic left heart syndrome. How could our baby girl, still safe inside my womb, be alive with only half of a heart? In an instant, our lives became marked by uncertainty and fear. Doubt became our constant companion, with more questions at every turn. Would Hope survive past birth? What kind of life would she live? How can a good God allow the unbearable pain of watching a child struggle to survive?This story chronicles our family's journey with Hope, navigating the unpredictability of life with a critically ill child. Weeks in the hospital turn into months, surgeries are booked and delayed, and Hope continually baffles doctors with an impressive list of unexpected complications. With her survival consistently in doubt, the burden of her struggle becomes almost unbearable for those of us closest to her. Faith that was once taken for granted is stretched beyond measure. Can we still acknowledge the goodness of God and give Him glory when His plans bring us so much pain?Using excerpts from the family blog written during Hope's battle, this book provides insight into the raw, unfiltered emotions of those walking alongside Hope, from overwhelming joy to the depths of sorrow. Although the blog started as a way to update family on Hope's condition, it soon became a worldwide call to prayer, reaching people in over 100 different countries and attracting 1.7 million views. Through the blog, many people heard the good news of Jesus for the first time, bringing a beautiful purpose to Hope's pain. The influence of this one little life is undeniable - in God's hands, her story furthered the kingdom of God.

From Lost to Found by Nicole Zasowski Pdf

Being Lost is the First Step to Getting Found As a marriage and family therapist, one of Nicole Zasowski’s greatest joys is helping her clients grow in emotional freedom. What she couldn’t see for many years is that she was living her own life outside of that freedom, clinging to behaviors like shame, performance, and control in order to feel valued and safe. It was only when she was confronted with her own devastating pain and loss that Nicole realized her current way of life was failing her. She then discovered that sometimes God’s rescue looks like prying our fingers off what we think we want so that we can receive what we truly need. And often, on the far side of pain we don’t prefer, we find transformation we would not trade. In From Lost to Found, Nicole shares her story as she helps us name what we fear losing most, identify how our reactive behaviors are failing us, discover what joy we can find in letting go, and move forward in the freedom God has for us. God is writing a story of redemption in your life too. Find out for yourself that sometimes the greatest joy is found when we are drained of all misplaced hope and shallow identities. In the midst of pain or transition, discover a surprising path to healing as you lose your grip on comfort and control—and fall right into God’s transformative grace. Includes discussion questions for individual reflection or small group study

Finding Meaning in Life, at Midlife and Beyond by David Guttmann Pdf

Having been mentored by Viktor E. Frankl, the founder of logotherapy, Emeritus Professor David Guttmann authored this book so general readers may understand this approach to finding meaning in life at the point when most of us begin deeply wondering over that question, at midlife and beyond. Especially in this day and age of multiple demands on our time and seemingly non-stop obligations, we too often find that it is only when the dust settles, after a work day or work week, or even after retirement, when we begin to wonder: What is the meaning of life? The purpose? This book is a new millennium venture into those questions and their answers using logotherapy, written by a sage understudy who recalls Frankl, with his logotherapy, as the epitome of his theory even at 80 years old, wise and witty, exuding an energy, enthusiasm and youthful spirit that belied his years by decades. Aging does not diminish our power, our energy, and our quest for life, but reshapes it with new understandings, goals, and needs. But, says Guttmann, we live in a technical and machine-based world now, in which there is a danger of losing our souls. Here, readers find a new, creative perspective on aging and a fresh spiritual outlook. This book will be of interest not only to general readers, especially those at midlife and beyond, but also to their families, friends, and students or professionals in the helping professions. This unique work provides knowledge to find meaning in life derived from the fields of philosophy, psychology, religion and gerontology, with case illustrations and vignettes to give readers both intellectual pleasure and practical guidance.

To Speak Beyond the Pain by Farah Anwar Pdf

You feel pain in this world, in every word people say, in every act they make. Surprisingly, you see spots of tears on every face you meet, then who is the 'Cruel Man'? You do not focus on the feelings behind the feelings but it pains; when soreness is the only thing in your heart. Might be you have compromised all you had? Or you missed the one you loved for most? Or you have lost dreams. You could be victim of society's double standards. You are 'broad minded' but these so called practical people name you as narrow minded'. When being human pains the worst and proud is the only reason to die, when life means nothing to you and death is the only priority to live. You look at yourself; for the world you might be a very prominent and successful person but at night you cry for ruined of you. The catastrophic waves unifying inside, keeping wet eye you moves on deliberately, ignoring what is killing inside. Absorbing all, standing with arrogance you lie about happy life. But mind it, you have goodness inside you, no one is devil. You are beautiful because you are born as human; who does not eat other humans. Your integrity is hidden, you might be starving for pleasure but it's completely missing. Do not hide yourself behind the world, come in front, accept the true face, and heed what you have never heard. Understand, what was misunderstood, the unspoken sentiments. Seek what your soul had been complaining you. In last, face it, accept and alter you, because it's beyond five senses.
