The House With All The Lights On

Three generations, one roof, a language of light

By: Jessica Kirkness

The House With All The Lights On is a lyrical exploration of family, identity and history, and what it is to be a member of a family where the most beautiful of bonds are born in difference 'If I were to tell you our story in sign language-the story of my grandparents and me-I'd begin with a single finger touching my chest.' Jessica Kirkness has traversed the boundary between deaf and hearing cultures all her life. Her memoir tells the story of her grandparents who grew up deaf in a hearing world-one where sign language was banned for much of the twentieth century-and weaves in her own experience as a hearing child in a family that often struggled to navigate their elders' difference. This journey takes her from the family home to the workplaces of research audiologists, and back to England where she visits her grandparents' old schools and other family landmarks-discovering along the way how terribly their deafness has been misunderstood. The House With All The Lights On captures the universal experienceof navigating complex family relationships and beautifully explores the nuances of identity in what is both a memoir and a love letter to those closest to her heart. 'An elegant and empathic love letter to family.' Fiona Murphy, author of The Shape of Sound 'A sensory window into Deaf gain and other complexities of our community.' Asphyxia, author of Future Girl 'Kirkness tells a moving, artful story about how we seek to understand our grandparents, and how they become the frame through which we see the world.' Andrew Pippos, author of Lucky's

The Hole Story

A Journey to Wholeness

By: Jessica Jesse

HAVE YOU EVER FELT LIKE THERE IS SOMETHING MISSING? There are so many of us that have that feeling of emptiness, nothingness, a void, a gaping hole in our lives. It is like we know something is missing within us, but we can never quite put our finger on it. We feel the overwhelming need to fill this unexplainable hole, but we are never sure what to fill it with. We try drugs, food, alcohol, sex, or money, anything or everything to make it go away. But nothing works, until we find God.

You Will Come Forth as Gold Study Guide

The Refining Influence of Suffering

By: Jessica Plaza

This Study Guide accompanies the 'You Will Come Forth as Gold' book. YOU WILL COME FORTH AS GOLD chronicles the journey of the Author through different levels of suffering to triumph. We don't often see that the suffering we endure in this life has a divine purpose to bring forth what God has placed inside us. Our response to suffering is usually complaining, discomfort, confusion and depression; but what if we change our perspective and see the purpose of being refined by the 'Refiners Fire' from a heavenly perspective? What if we understood that our present suffering is working out within us a greater glory to be revealed in the earth realm? Would our response to suffering change then? Jessica has been through many trials, but it has all worked out for her good. This book will open your eyes to see that your value cannot be measured by the immediate circumstances you may ne facing at this moment, but by God who allows certain things to happen to shift you into purpose. Your suffering is not unto death, but is designed to realign you into a position of influence; equip and empower you to be a beacon of light and hope to countless people who are waiting for you to lead them put of their land of bondage. Why we suffer is not a practical question. The real issue is, what is this suffering designed to produce in me.

And then she falls in. Liffy's aunt, Lisa, knows something is wrong, but is distracted by her work as a lecturer in music and her rollercoaster affair with a Russian pianist. Will someone see what's happening to Liffy before it's too late?
