Whether we know it or not, relationship styles cause some people to naturally thrive in relationships and others to struggle. According to attachment theory, we tend to experience love in predictable ways--some of which are healthy and some of which are not--based on our style and that of our partner. The good news is, whatever relationship style you have naturally, you're not stuck with it! Using the strategies found in this book, you can · identify your relationship style (and your partner's) · understand the strengths and challenges of that style · overcome feelings of rejection and failed relationships · recognize the patterns and behaviors that are affecting your relationships · develop better ways to express and receive love If you've been caught in a cycle of unsatisfying relationships, discover how attachment theory can help you take the guesswork out of understanding why people behave the way they do--especially in times of stress--so you can find and sustain a love that lasts.
Finding out that a child, spouse, relative or friend is homosexual can be an unwelcome surprise. You're hit with a complex combination of emotions - grief, shame, fear, guilt. You are flooded with questions ranging from why to what's next. You wonder what a biblical response would be. At the same time, someone you care about deeply may be awaiting your response. What should you say? Someone I Love Is Gay was created out of Anita Worthen's struggle over these issues with her son and her work with New Hope Ministries in San Rafael, California, and Bob Davies's personal experience and professional experience with Exodus International in Seattle, Washington. Drawing also on the experiences of others, they will help you to handle your feelings while responding appropriately to your loved one.
Starting as a prayer book for a young lady in Latvia, Anita Sebastian wrote the first version of God Is Love in seven pages. The author then expanded it to be used by many as a how-to book for intercessory prayer. Follow along with poignant Bible verses and short prayers chosen to guide a prayer journey in a meaningful and life-changing way. Anita stresses the importance of praying daily for individuals in our lives and includes space to write down the names of those being held in prayer. The author wholeheartedly believes that you will see the Holy Spirit work in the hearts of those you are praying for, as well as your own, as you learn to intercede for the people around you. Anita hopes for all to understand the power of prayer and discover GOD’S loving plans for their lives.

“A fast-paced, compelling story about love and its power to both heal and redeem” from the acclaimed author of A Meeting in the Ladies' Room (Kim McLarin, author of Womanish). Mel and Adrienne Jordan have the kind of marriage most couples only dream about. Mel feels lucky to have the smartest, sexiest wife a man could want, while caring for their infant daughter and tending to their lovely home in New York City keeps Adrienne busy and content. Landing a recording contract had once been her greatest ambition—but not anymore. Life is that good. Until the day a tragedy changes everything. Convinced that he is to blame, Mel returns to the mean streets of his youth—and indulges in the drugs, drink, and women he finds there. Adrienne works long hours at a tedious job, desperate to get ahead—even though she's not really sure where she's going. As they drift further into their grief—and away from each other—Mel and Adrienne start to wonder if they can ever reclaim what they had. And they soon realize that their greatest challenge will be trying to save the one thing they had always taken for granted: their love. “A heart-stopping story about the power of love . . . The characters are richly drawn and complex. The use of language is stunning . . . A dynamic new writer is on the scene—readers, make room on your bookshelf and in your hearts for A Mighty Love!” —Yolanda Joe, author of Video Cowboys “Entertaining.” —Booklist

Chale jo do kadam saath woh, (As she ambles the aisle with me) To unke saath se Pyaar ho jaye, (May I be enmeshed in her companionship forever) Thaame jo Pyaar se mera haath woh, (As she seizes my hand with tender love) To apne hi haath se Pyaar ho jaye, (May I be ensnared by the charm of my own hand) Hota hai agar itna khoobsurat yeh Pyaar, (If love is so alluring and prepossessing) To aye Khuda unhe bhi mere Pyaar se Pyaar ho jaye! (Oh omniscient being! May she be enchanted by my love) It was 5 in the morning when I blinked open an eye to wake up. I was in deep sleep till some time ago, and it felt as if someone had lovingly caressed my hair. But when I opened my eyes, there was no one there. For a few precious moments, I felt the sensation of that loving touch that I had experienced since childhood. It seemed as if that sensation was all around me. Now that presence was close to me; my Radha in the form of Annu was in my life. Divine Love of Two Souls is a story of those emotions that this generation has perhaps lost along the way.

In today’s fast-paced world, many amongst us are caught in the relentless grip of self-doubt, people-pleasing tendencies all the while wrestling with intense self-criticism, imposter syndrome, and low self-worth. This struggle often gets compounded by societal pressures, burden of perfectionism, unrelenting negative self-talk, or past traumatic experiences leading to the belief that they are not ‘good enough.’ The result? Burnout, strained relationships, thereby limiting one’s true potential, and the list just goes on. "The Eight Pillars of Self-Love" offers a concise roadmap to help people break free from such emotions, foster self-acceptance, and grow personally to transform themselves to become the best version of themselves. By applying the principles outlined in this book, you will cultivate a sense of self-worth and the confidence to live authentically. You will learn to honour your own needs, set healthier boundaries, and replace self-criticism with constructive reflection, and develop a renewed sense of purpose. At the end of each pillar, you will find practical strategies that can immediately be implemented. These are not ground-breaking insights but rather a reinforcement of what we already know. As you go about your life’s affairs, there will be moments when you experience feelings that will resonate with any of these pillars. Learn to identify what that feeling is and use the practical strategies to refill yourself with authentic self-love. Treat this as your reference guide that you can come back to again and again.
Unf*ck Your Life and Relationships combines Anita’s personal story and the culmination of twenty-five years of clinical experience with individuals, couples, and families. She demonstrates that building healthy relationships starts from the inside out and calls for a “back to basics” of love and life that have become lost in a culture driven by electronic communication and social media attachment. Experiencing conflict in relationships is an unavoidable fact of life. When our relationships are messed up, our lives feel messed up. Likewise, our hearts and minds hurt—the two are intricately linked. Drawing on over twenty-five years of clinical experience with individuals, couples, and families, psychotherapist Anita Astley will walk you through practical steps to unf*ck yourself from the inside out in order to establish healthy relationships. Her approach takes you back to the basics of love and life that have become lost in a culture consumed by electronic communication and social media attachment. Anita will help guide you through your journey of transformation by identifying various psychological dynamics that serve to do more harm than good to you and your relationships. In addition, she will provide tools to help you hone your communication skills through active listening and effective speaking as a means of working through conflict to arrive at solutions. These practices have helped countless patients and have proven to be effective for Anita personally. In this book, she shares her childhood journey from India to Germany (and then to Canada), reuniting with her father. However, his expectation for Anita to follow a culturally traditional path and consent to an arranged marriage destroyed her confidence and self-worth and left deep emotional scars. As she pursued higher education and individual psychotherapy, Anita found her voice through mentors who enabled her to break free, find her path to healing and inner strength, and eventually unlock the skills needed to help others. In these pages, Anita Astley now acts as your mentor and guide so you can do the same and learn to maintain inner emotional balance and form healthy, fulfilling relationships with those you love.

Before then a wide range of terms were used: ‘melancholy’ carried enormous weight, and was one of the two confirmed forms of eighteenth-century insanity. This four-volume set is the first large-scale study of depression across an extensive period.

Speak life! What we think determines what we say and this refl ects who we really are for we are exposed by the fruit of our mouths. We must be able to see Gods kingdom and this is a spiritual endeavor. The kingdom begins in the spirit and is then made manifest in the natural realm. We lost sight when Adam abdicated the throne to Satan. A fundamental disconnect occurred when we exited the Garden of Eden. Revelation provides the inner sight that Jesus came to restore for he opened blinded eyes.
Tragedy to Triumph is a dialogical epic exuding with the wisdom, tenacity, faith, and profound love depicted between two biblical women---- Ruth and Naomi. It is a love story--- descriptive in nature of the love that existed between Ruth and Mahlon, her first husband; between Ruth and Naomi, her mother-in-law; between Ruth and Boaz, her new husband; between Ruth and her new God--- the God of favor and restoration. Tragedy to Triumph is a faith-builder for anyone who has ever suffered sudden loss and vast emptiness and dared to abscond the pity-party in hope of a refreshing. Moreover, it is the true story of what results when one abandons his agenda, leaning not to his own understanding, and embraces the one of God.
No one escapes this life without heartbreak, emotional pain, and suffering. God promises to heal your wounded, scarred, broken, and shattered heart. Counseling, therapy, and even medications have limits on the depth of healing they can provide. Sometimes only a direct, intimate, specific, supernatural word from the Sovereign Creator of the universe can heal an emotional wound. We have a role and responsibility in our healing relationship with Jesus. God cannot heal us without our active participation, beyond even prayer. We must place ourselves in the proper spiritual and emotional position to receive God's healing word into our hearts. That position is Biblical stillness. When God commands us to "be still," He is serious. God wants us to be still according to His definition of stillness. "Being still" does not come naturally, but we can learn specific strategies and techniques to move into still space. From that posture, we can receive the gravitas of His word that heals us immediately.

He's waging the most passionate campaign of all… Media coach Trina Powers loves grooming high-profile clients for superstardom. And signing businessman-turned-politician Dwayne Hunter could really launch her agency into the big time. But Dwayne is giving her a run for her money. The arrogant, charismatic candidate for Texas state senate acts like he doesn't need anyone! Trina knows she's got to soften his harsh edges. She also knows she's playing a dangerous game…especially when Dwayne unleashes his potent blend of take-charge masculinity and tender sensuality. Though the price of politics may be her heart. Dwayne learned about love the hard way and isn't ready to trust another woman. But Trina's not just any woman. With her by his side, he knows he could go far—on and off the campaign trail. But mixing politics and passion could derail his career…especially when the power plays—and scandals—start flying. And now a secret in Trina's past is casting the ballot against them. Unless Dwayne can wage a new campaign: to vote her in as his running mate for life.
