This is something I thought would be fun to do. A bit of a haul on this blog. I have seen these floating around the interwebs and decided to give it ago. Today is a really small haul because I am on a book buying ban. I was a good girl this month and didn't buy anything. I did get several books from publishers, as well as authors that I am extremely excited about! Check out previous book haul.
The Best Possible Angle:
IS THE PRICE OF FAME EVER TOO HIGH? With his new movie shaping up to be a blockbuster, Kendrick Black is on the brink of making the Hollywood A-List.
That is until he becomes involved in a hit and run which leaves a little girl dead. Kendrick is ready to turn himself in to the police, but those looking to cash in on his success won't make that easy. Nightmares haunt him, and personal tragedy fuels his guilt.
Will Kendrick be able to clear his conscience and keep his sanity? Or will the allure of the spotlight win out in the end?
Fear Fighting:
We all live with fear. It hangs around, whispering in our ears, reminding us of all we can't do or will never be. But that's not the end of the story. We also have a God who draws close to say, Fear not. I am with you. This Spirit transforms us into fear fighters--women breaking free of trepidation to find bold dedication to God's peace-, purpose- and joy-filled callings.
With remarkable compassion born from personal experience, Kelly Balarie shows women how to
- Cultivate unstoppable faith by harnessing God's Word and promptings
- Pray panic-, blood pressure- and stress-reducing prayers to usher in lasting peace
- Discover clear and immediate action plans to exchange worry for God's greatest gifts
- Implement daily bravery decrees to stand armed through the day
- Participate in a 12-week study guide to foster new courageous habits
Kelly pulls back the curtain of fear so you can find the beautiful woman God created you to be.
Each day men and women diagnosed with mental disorders are told they need to pray more and turn from their sin. Mental illness is equated with demonic possession, weak faith and generational sin. Why is it that the church has struggled in ministering to those with mental illnesses? As both a church leader and professor of psychology and neuroscience, Dr. Stanford has seen far too many mentally ill brothers and sisters damaged by well meaning believers who respond to them out of fear or misinformation rather than grace.
Grace for the Afflicted is written to educate Christians about mental illness from both biblical and scientific perspectives. Dr. Stanford presents insights into our physical and spiritual nature and discusses the appropriate role of psychology and psychiatry in the life of the believer. Describing common mental disorders, Dr. Stanford asks of each: "What does science say and what does the Bible say about this illness?"
Mental illnesses addressed in the book include:
Mood Disorders
Anxiety Disorders
Schizophrenia
Dissociative Disorders
Attention-Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder
Eating Disorders
Substance Use Disorders
Borderline Personality Disorde
