Spirituality, A Life Force details a journey from the material
world of the ego to the world of the spiritual. It shows how the
new awareness of oneself as a child of God can produce profound
change in your life. Relationships can change from being dominated
by self-interest and ego, to relationships with spiritual purpose
and function. Spiritual healing happens as spiritual solutions are
sought. Spirituality, A Life Force opens up the possibility of a
new view of life-a new view of yourself-living not as a child of
this world, but, with the life force of spirituality, living as a
child of God.
The ABC's of Grief: a Handbook for Survivors meets bereaved persons
wherever they might be in the grieving process, providing snatches
of meaning, hope, empathy and understanding. It's a product of the
author's own grief experience and includes materials collected over
a period of three years. Confronting her loss, Christine Adams
found that it was all right to grieve at her own pace: one day at
time, one thought, word, and letter at a time. Over time, she grew
and healed.This Handbook's alphabetical format allows readers to
focus on any aspect of grief that suits them. If a newly bereaved
person finds themselves absorbed in "anger" or "anxiety," he or she
can read that section - then go back to reread those parts of the
handbook, and with each visit find some new realizations and
meaning. Every section contains appropriate quotations, stories,
and poems, written by survivors who found solace in writing.
Written in the style of Mitch Albom's, The Five People You Meet in
Heaven, The School Factory by Christine Adams switches time from
present day, to the past and into the future. The commanding day is
June 10th. The primary storyteller, Jenny Anderson, a loved senior
English teacher. As the story opens, "Mrs. A." is in a head-on
collision on her way to the graduation. In her unconscious state,
she traces the year flashing back to events involving a dozen
students. Their issues include illiteracy, early pregnancy,
learning disabilities, crime, homosexuality, sexual perversion,
racial bias, alcoholism and drug addiction. The conflict - their
"real" human issues versus the "inhumane" school institution. By
symbolically making all kids "products" tracked on different
conveyor belts - in the factory, the author rips open the heart and
soul of Heritage High. Throughout the novel, the conflict between
the human needs of the teens and the rules of the factory builds.
Some kids drop off the conveyor belt; one, Jim Bartlett, chooses
suicide as his way out. In the last thread of the novel, the dying
teacher meets Jim Bartlett. With Jim, now as her teacher, she
experiences a true "TIMELESSNESS." She sees her students in their
future lives. By expanding time, the author is able to help the
teacher and the reader make sense of the incongruity and emptiness
of a typical year in the school factory.
Love, Infidelity and Sexual Addiction: With Cybersex Addiction is
an honest sharing of a trust betrayed. It chronicles the author's
personal experiences with a sexually addicted spouse as well as
stories of others in recovery from coaddiction. This book offers
hope and healing to those who have suffered from repeated betrayal.
First, it explains the cycle of sexual addiction: the compulsive
use of multiple affairs, pornography, or cybersex. When the author,
who suffered through repeated infidelities, learned about sexual
addiction, she discovered how her coaddictive behaviors plugged
into that addictive cycle. This comprehensive book not only defines
Sexual Addiction, Coaddiction and Cybersex Addiction; but offers a
system of emotional and behavioral self-help considerations in
these chapters: The Shame-based Family and The Spiritually Centered
Family, Signs of Obsession, Compulsive Behavior, Finding Self, The
Solution, A Healthy Relationship, and the Primary Spiritual
Relationship.
