Shackled by a Heavy Burden by Kennard Murray Pdf

This book shares one pastor's journey to uncover the inherent barriers that cause many African American parishioners not to receive the help they need regarding their mental and emotional health. These barriers are revealing and may be surprising to clergy and counseling professionals. In this book, Kennard Murray examines the phenomenon of resistance to professional counseling in the African American community and the source of this resistance, the reasons parishioners seek out pastors for help during emotional distress, whether pastors feel adequately equipped to provide such counseling, and the need for training on making appropriate referrals. Also, the author identifies an emerging method of providing church-based pastoral counseling in local churches to address the barriers of resistance to seeking help in the community at large. The information contained within these pages will help not only African American pastors, but also pastors in rural communities where other counseling professionals are not readily accessible.

Positively Dangerous by Gwen Brinkley Pdf

“POSITIVELY DANGEROUS” describes insight into God with which the author was left as a result of three transcendental experiences. Her conclusions indicate that theologians innocently profess much false information. Interpretation of the transcendental events and aftermaths of fourteenth century “contemplatives” or “mystics” authenticates their experiences relative to the author’s. The memoirs introduce the book, that the reader may become versed in the source of his information. Included are unique encounters involving celebrities, travel, professional brainwashing techniques, religious verve, and light-hearted humor.

Shame-Less Lives, Grace-Full Congregations by Karen A. McClintock Pdf

In Shame-Less Lives, Grace-Full Congregations, author Karen McClintock invites readers to become shame-less, so they can assist others in a congregational system to find a life of joy and grace. McClintock explores shame as a theological and psychological emotion, defining it as "a feeling of unworthiness in the sight of God or significant others." While guilt says, "I made a mistake," shame says,"I am a mistake," she explains. With skilled storytelling and gentle humor, McClintock takes readers on a journey in which we learn to recognize the many forms shame takes and explore and heal the shame of our own upbringing, particularly the shame-laden messages within our own religious teachings and practices. She illustrates the ways shame-laden leaders interact with congregations and ways congregational shame influences clergy and laity within the system. She shows us how to recognize shame in the behavior of other leaders and clergy around us, to reduce shame-reinforcing theology, and to provide alternative messages of hope and healing. She also guides us in liberating others from their shame, be they friends, colleagues, or people in a congregation where we worship and serve. McClintock advises readers that eradicating shame may take a few weeks, months, years, or a lifetime. This book is not written so that we can be free of all shame. It is written so we can become shame-less by acknowledging old patterns and consciously changing them, because shame-less leaders create shame-less congregations.

Black Diamonds by Phyllis Jane Dunn Barnes Pdf

One generation saw the flood, another the fire, and now our generation is facing the same judgment as the generations of Noah and Lot for the same type of sins as their sins were fire, hail, earthquakes, darkness, and death. In this short period of time, one shall see the rise of BABYLON, THE GREAT, the destruction of the Antichrist and False Prophet, the binding of Satan in hell 1000 years after the battle of Armageddon, the nests in outer space fetched back, and the judgment of the living as the Lord Jesus Christs sits on the throne of His Glory in Jerusalem judging. Multiply and replenish the earth, for the new time of peace on the earth has come, the curse bing lifted, too.

My Song (and Other Poems) by Orok Otu Duke Pdf

A tree is known by its fruit, not the roots. In the Efik communities, we sing and dance when we are happy and when we are sad. There are seasonal, celebratory, occupational and occasional songs and dances, reflecting the whole gamut of existence as appreciated within our cosmology. It is also through these songs and dances that we preserve, enhance, reflect, consolidate and propagate our feelings and way of life. Our culture. My Song (And other Poems) is Orok Otu Duke's latest collection of anecdotal poems. It is a kaleidoscope of emotions. Be my guest, please.
