I watched my marriage fall apart around me as I reached out to someone who was not there. I tried hopelessly to pick up the pieces of my broken marriage. The pieces did not seem to fit together, while still others were missing. Due to these conflicts, I experienced feelings of deep despair and then terror, as I sank into a dark depression and developed panic disorder. I knew I had to rise above all this or fall prey to this most unhealthy set of circumstances. Through psychological counseling, spiritual guidance, prayer and the support of others, I was able to journey back to my childhood finding clues and information making it possible for me to put the bits and pieces of my life back together, making sense of this once and for all. I not only rise out of depression and panic disorder but also I rise above the burdens of childhood abuse. I ultimately reach a wonderful place, a spiritual loving place, making of myself a strong Spirit-filled vessel for my husband and my children to connect with. There are certainly lessons to be learned here from this story which I share with you. Come away with me grow from what I have learned and how I have loved.

Breaking Apart Intimate Partner Violence and Abuse provides a thorough examination of intimate partner violence and abuse, encompassing the nature, influences, and impact of its presence in interpersonal relationships. By "pulling together" representative studies and other evidence-based analyses by researchers and interventionists, this comprehensive overview surveys the prevalence, patterns, and common risk factors among a number of demographics, including women, men, transpeople, partners in opposite- and same-sex relationships, teen dating partners, later-life partners and abused partners with disabilities. The authors also disentangle – that is, "break apart" – the factors of race, class, gender, sexuality, gender expression and culture by exploring their effects on experiences of intimate partner violence and abuse perpetration and victimization. Although less scrutinized in current literature on the topic, discourse and institutional barriers to abused women’s well-being and safety are also delved into, particularly those exacerbated by rural isolation, non-national status and theologies. The authors supplement their in-depth overview by highlighting protective measures and resources throughout, identifying treatments and public health approaches to violence and abuse intervention and prevention, as well as incorporating discussion exercises and illustrations that extend the book’s concepts into real-life settings. In their exploration of the forms, causes, prevalence, and consequences of intimate partner violence and abuse among different groups, the authors address the problem with both nuance and scope. Combined with their evidence-based recommendations, the book offers valuable insight for students, researchers, and practitioners in the fields of domestic and family abuse and intimate partner violence.

Where Will You Be Financially, Six Years from Now? Six years ago, two beaten-down salesmen met each morning for coffee, and to commiserate about the challenges of trying to maintain a sales career in the New Economy. So far, their longing for the good old days in sales, and their addiction to "hope" in better financial success, have led to nothing. Six years pass, and the two meet again. One has achieved financial independence after engaging in a unique sales training and development program. The other, still hooked on "hopium," his financial situation worse than ever, mentally scoffs at the notion that some so-called sales expert's training could make much of a difference. Still, to humor his old friend, he listens politely to specific solutions the expert taught to enable salespeople to break through New Economy-and New Consumer-sales barriers, and his mind begins to tingle with fresh possibilities as he discovers how he too can once again excel in his own sales career. Based on actual events and financial results, Hooked on Hopium is an entertaining, quick-to-read fictional story that details proven New Economy sales solutions, and is a key first step toward overcoming the obstacles to your sales success
