Losing Love, Having Faith, and Finding Hope is a must read This book is an empowering story for all parents. It is about three main characters: Love, the father; Faith, the mother; and Hope, their son. Their story will touch you, making you think about relationships and whether it would be healthier to walk away, even if children are involved. Losing Love, Having Faith, and Finding Hope gives parents an inside view of how their actions can have a negative impact on their child. The book shows how easily things can spiral out of control if the right type of communication is not present within the family. Parents will get some harsh realities about the consequences to their actions, along with very helpful personal and parenting tips. They will also learn the importance of working together for the benefit of their child. Children that relate to this story will be encouraged not to give up on themselves when they feel others have given up on them. Together, families can be restructured and functional despite all parties not living under the same roof; and children do not have to suffer the consequences of their parent's actions.

Real kids face real adversity. The Bible is no out-of-touch book. In fact, better than any other book, the Bible can relate to our toughest realities, our strongest suffering, and guide us to victorious living.

In June 2005 the Lord purpose in my heart to learn more about His word. Having a thirsty for knowledge the Spirit led me to Virginia Baptist College (seminary school). Been obedient to the Spirit of God He blessed me to receive my Master degree in Ministry (Theology) May of 2008. It was during my training there I was lead to write this book "Marriage, Seeing it God's way." Many times I prayed asking God to show me how to be a good husband according to his word. While writing this book the Lord helped me achieve the desires of my heart by becoming a loving husband. After so many years of doing things wrong in the marriage I had a yearning to do it God's way and fulfilled my purpose as a husband. My soul purpose was to please God and my wife (help mate) of 30 years. The Lord revealed many things to me one particular characteristic about me He showed me stood out more than all others. Love her as Christ loved me with longsuffer and forgive. Out of the process of time through many hours of seeking the Lord in pray, fasting and studying the Scriptures, the Lord opens up my mind to put these thought in the form of a book. I am thankful for the fellowship He allow me to share with Him, the many conversations we had, the tears I shed and the long hours of research. Two things I learned about God during this process, (1) He will meet you where you are, (2) He will always tell you what you don't want to here. Be careful what you ask for. Writing this book also allowed me to achieve many other goals; To come a certify Sunday school teacher ETA (Standard & Advance courses), Ordained Elder PCAF, Inc., Aug. 2011 and a graduate of ESSC Ministerial Training Course and a new career. I truly thank my wife for her patient and love she was the motor that kept me going but God was the source. I pray this book be a blessing to all who reads it. God bless.

I would encourage all adult readers to read our (mine and my daughter's) point of view which provides an individual and personal point of view. I add a few of my experiences here to the rich wealth of information we share as we create a pool of stories of/for single parents. This story just adds to that rich wealth of information. I have learned to understand certain circumstances that are part of our lives; birth, love, learning and life and death. My story reflects on episodes of our lives; my marriage and divorce, my daughter's birth and development up until her second grade in school and hints of her life as an adult now. My perspective is different from others because I am an individual with unique experiences. I touch on decision making. I touch on emotions. I touch on sex and love. I am opinionated. I am culturally diverse. I grew up with two cultures which I have taken to heart. Both cultures offered what I think was best for me and my daughter. My father was an officer in the United States Army. My mother is a retired teacher with 35 years of experience. I was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, so were two of my sisters and the youngest was born in Massachusetts. learned two languages, Spanish thanks to my mom, and English, thanks to my dad. I am a teacher and I have taught since 1974. I have taught high school, elementary school, middle school and adult education. I have also learned from my students. I am old enough to know better. And most importantly of all, I share something graceful.

"At the Mercy of Externals: Righting Wrongs and Protecting Kids" deals extensively with adult roles and responsibilities and the damage done when these obligations are not met. David Roberts' FLAGS Model graphically reveals how adults tend to act out emotion-based anxiety and depression, which is rooted in negative emotions associated with a history of abuse and victimization.

A number of lists critical to understanding the FLAGS model enable you to relate to the material on a personal level, and customize the subject matter to your own situation. While much of the focus is on parenting, other types of adult roles are addressed.

Of particular interest is the impact of abuse on kids outside the home or family. "At the Mercy of Externals" offers solutions found through critical thinking and by challenging myths accepted as truth.

Dr. Roberts specializes in working with at risk youth including juvenile offenders and gang members. He views his work as a form of spiritual outreach to misunderstood kids. His concepts are widely accepted and easily applicable to groups regardless of cultural and ethnic differences.

As women, there is no definite beginning or end to our search for our identity. And the path to awakening to who we are beyond our own identity starts in a fog. In Growing Wings & Children, author and medical intuitive Alison Feather Adams discusses how to allow new dimensions of who we are to become integrated with our current identity of self.

Adams explains how we gain faith in opening our hearts-to receive greater knowledge of deeper dimensions within us-when we expand our capacity to meet life and allow it to inform us of its potential to be experienced. We may develop greater intimacy within our relationships as we become more accepting of what is important to us and choose how we may express it independently.

It also addresses how children can be a gift to us by reminding us of our own innocence if we allow them to grow with confidence in who they are. Our journey of self becomes an ever-expanding realization that grows in grace as we allow Greater Other Dimensions to guide and enrich who we have the ability to be.

Like the widows of other American tragedies, Verna must discover the strength to survive and provide for her family.

Following John's death, Verna, determined to escape poverty, moves to Louisville to attend nursing school and experiences the influx of WWI troops debarking for Europe and a pandemic flu where thousands die in a WWI army camp.
