Clinical psychologist and clergywoman Lucille F. Sider adds her voice to the chorus of women in the #WhyIDidntReport and #MeToo movements. This is Lucille's story of resilience and hope as a survivor of sexual abuse. She explains the challenges of finding her way out of a fear-based spirituality into one that is full of grace, hope and forgiveness. The unique richness of her book is that she wrote it to spark healing discussion. As she describes her experiences in these pages, she also steps back and offers helpful analysis as both a psychologist and a clergywoman. At the end of the book, she includes a complete study guide with questions for reflection for individuals, small groups and classes.
"The book is arranged to be a valuable tool in the hands of persons in the helping professions, such as clergy, social workers, psychologists," writes the Rev. Jo Anne Lyon, General Superintendent Emerita and Ambassador of The Wesleyan Church. "This writing is so powerful, yet gentle, that people will be able to add their own words to combat the pain. Lucille's credentials enhance the power of the story. Truly a book for these days "
Lucille was just 6 years old when she was abused both physically and sexually by a hired man on the family's farm. Lucille's inner conflict about these experiences, propelled her into a childhood of guilt and shame. While Lucille was an outstanding student, singer and athlete, she lived with an underlying fear, loneliness and mild depression. A second sexual abuse by her brother-in-law, when she was just 15 years old, added to Lucille's fears. When she tried to tell her parents about this, their response was only to pray for her--so, she kept these painful events secret for years. Many years later, her brother in law was arrested for molesting a 15-year-old girl. Lucille and others, including his own daughter, testified against him and he was incarcerated.
Raised in a conservative household and faith, Lucille went to college and seminary to search for a theology that was full of grace and forgiveness. She found this especially at Yale Divinity School, though she always lived with a mild depression. Her struggle to understand both her faith and psyche led her to earn a PhD from Northwestern University in psychology and religion. She became a clinical psychologist and pastoral counselor and later the Executive Director of The Samaritan Pastoral Counseling Center in Evanston, Illinois.
At age 50, when her husband suddenly divorced her, Lucille was cast into darkness and despair which resulted in major depression. Lucille became dysfunctional and had to step down as Executive Director of her counseling center. Years of therapy led her to new ways of offering and sharing her gifts, which included writing stories and ministering to seniors, especially those suffering from dementia.
In Light Shines in the Darkness, Lucille F. Sider shares her unique story of sexual abuse and severe mental illness, including depression and PTSD. She describes her legal battle in fighting for justice and her ongoing persistence in finding ways to remain stable. She calls these her mental health and spiritual practices and they include: counseling, medication, meditation, healthy diet, exercise, daily prayer and church attendance. In sharing her story, Lucille now is helping others along their journeys from sexual abuse to stability--to find their own hope and their own light that shines through the darkness.

Описание: The third book of the Chronicles of the Secret Prince trilogy. Long before Deston was born, the gods chose him to be the match to drive away the darkness from the planet. But Deston has no desire to be a hero. He just wants to fit in and be accepted as one of the fae and live happily-ever-after in Tir na-nOg with his parents and Margaux. After having spent months running away and denying who he is, Deston finally comes to the realization that he will never find the happiness he desires as long as Grossard has the Shard of Erebus. He may not like it, but he can't change his destiny and he has no other choice but to pick up the mantle the gods laid out for him and put his own wishes aside; for his human side is what is needed to do what the fae cannot-kill Grossard. Every minute he denies the inevitable puts his loved ones in greater danger and Grossard one step closer to his goal, and Deston is determined that no one else will get hurt. This is Deston's last epic journey-the final showdown between light and dark, good and evil, and he knows the stakes could not be higher. But what he doesn't know is that even if he wins, it could very well cost him the very thing he wants most in the world-to become a real fae."

Описание: Caregiving is typically understood as an activity, as something we do likely because caregivers do a lot. But caregiving is deeper than what we do. It is more than a series of tasks. It is, first and foremost, a call to love. In How the Light Shines each chapter engages an issue raised by caregivers themselves and is filled with real-life stories that convey the realities of caregiving, as well as tips and advice, and spiritual insight and guidance.

Описание: We all at some time experience the darkness. For some of us it lasts longer and proves to be more devastating. But one truth remains the same for us all. A light shines in the darkness and cannot be overcome, and will guide us out of the darkness through grace and mercy none of us deserve.
Mental illness is something that is more common than most people realize. The problem is that mental illness is still so stigmatized that people don't want to talk about it. I felt this way for the longest time myself and didn't talk to people about what I was feeling or what I was going through. I let things build up inside of me until I just lost control. I started making choices that would have negative impacts on me and my life.
I have dealt with a vast array of struggles to include, but not limited to, abuse, addiction, my own suicide attempt, the loss of several people that were close to me to suicide, and trying to be a parent to children who are suffering with their own struggles. Several times I questioned as to why these things were happening, what was the purpose of these troubles, and if they were ever going to get better.
It took a while for me to fully understand that all these troubles that I was experiencing weren't trying to break me down, even though that is what it felt like they were doing. Every struggle, every part of the pain, every loss that I was experiencing, was helping me become a stronger person. It was building me up to have a different outcome in life. Each experience taught me something. Each struggle made me stronger. Each loss helped me understand the importance of life.
My story is something that I kept to myself for the longest time. I didn't want to share it with anyone for fear that I would be judged, since mental illness is still so taboo to talk about. It took me a while to realize that my story, while it is unique to me, is not that uncommon. I wanted to share my story and the struggles that I have been through to help others realize that they aren't alone.
Knowing that you are not alone when going through challenges can sometimes offer peace and hope, that the challenges you are facing will pass and make you a stronger person. My hope in sharing my story and my struggles is that at least one person will know and understand that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and this too shall pass.

Описание: In Where the Light Shines Through, Kelly Inviere takes a new approach to telling her story: A Memoir in Poetry. She wanted to portray the human condition in a way that was relatable, while showing that there is joy in sorrow and sorrow in joy. Like light and darkness, one cannot exist without the other. Kelly wanted to use her words to inspire others and leave her mark on this world, traversing the topics of life that unite us from the pain of loss to the hope found in love. She invites you to join her as she explores the experiences that have built the person that she has grown to be on her path thus far.
On September 15, 1999, a lone gunman entered a church youth rally, shot dozens of rounds of ammunition, and killed seven people before shooting himself. This book is the official record of the tragedies and victories of that night and the days that followed. The story was originally told in the book, "Night of Tragedy, Dawning of Light," by Dan R. Crawford.
This book is a 20-year followup with those who experienced that event.
"Grieving saints who praise God in the darkness bring absolute frustration to the Prince of that Darkness and great glory to our Lord and Savior, King Jesus." Dr. Al Meredith, Former Senior Pastor, Wedgwood Baptist Church.
"Looking back, has there been pain? A tremendous amount, Yes. Has it been easy? Absolutely not. Would we have chosen a different path given the choice? Selfishly, yes. Do we expect to ever fully understand why God allowed so many young lives to be cut short that evening? Painfully, no. Do we question God's goodness and perfect plan for our lives and the life of our daughter? Not a chance The Bible tells us His grace has been and will always be sufficient. That has proved true in our lives." Stan, Stephanie and Tim Jones, Father, Mother and Brother of Kim Jones, who was killed in the shooting.
"Inspired by my friendship with Cassie (who was killed in the shooting), I was led to be a counselor and serve others. I majored in Psychology . . . obtained my Master's in Counseling . . . and my doctorate in Counselor Education. I currently teach at Georgia Southern University and attribute my passion for helping others to Cassie." Dr. Kristen Dickens
"The years following the shooting, I found myself learning how to live my new "normal" life. . . After years of grieving, feeling disconnected, and questioning my life's direction, the Lord led me to some amazing people, to two wonderful churches, and to opportunities to share the answer to 'where is God in all of this'." Mary Beth Talley, injured in the shooting
"I am grateful that the 'God of all comfort' gave me grace to trust more than to try. A friend told me always to repeat, 'God, I trust you.' Those four words got me through bone aching grief. I can always trust that the Redeemer will finally overcome all the terrible blows of the wicked one". Kathy Jo Brown Rogers, wife of Shawn Brown who was killed in the shooting
"That tragic night will forever be a part of the history of Wedgwood Baptist Church. We will never, nor should we ever, forget what happened. However, as a church we know that past events cannot completely define us. No person, no church, is the sum total of one event, good or bad. And so, as a church we continue to look ahead, remembering our past, but moving forward with the bright future we believe God has for this church." Dale Braswell, Lead Pastor, Wedgwood Baptist Church.
