Narcissistic Ex
Narcissistic abuse is a form of abuse that ensures victims are left emotionally drained, mentally exhausted, and devoid of any self-worth or self-esteem. I was a victim of a malignant narcissist for seven years of my life, and I know just how crushing it is to live such an abusive and suppressed life. The helplessness and detachment from reality that comes with narcissistic abuse are enough to keep you in the tight grip of the abuser for as long as they choose. However, I eventually found the courage to leave my abuser, but it didn't end there. As you may know, ending a relationship with a narcissist isn't that easy - even if it was the narc who did the breaking up. They don't just 'let you go' - they try to make sure you'll go through hell before you get one over on them. In this book, I want to offer you some guidance on this rarely-talked about aspect of an abusive relationship: how to deal with a narcissist when they're your ex. The chapter list is as follows: Why you shouldn't go back and why you need to move on Why you need to go 'no contact' and ways you can do this How to stop missing your abuser Understanding and dealing with 'hoovering' after a break-up Narcissistic stalking How to deal with 'flying monkeys' Survivor stories from two former narcissistic abuse victims Throughout the book, I also offer some of my own story too, in the hopes that this offers you a sense of familiarity. You'll likely find that thing things I went through are very similar to your own experiences, and the purpose of this book is to get you to the point where I'm currently at: healed and thriving.
My Perfect Husband's Life
Author Sophia Satyana tells the true story of her husband's sudden death at age fifty-six years old and the shocking story that unfolded of the secret life he had been living all along during their twenty-one year marriage. Part 1 is the story of how Sophia finds out about the secret life bit by bit. Unraveling the clues from emails and other computer findings, telephone and credit card records, and other important documents such as the deed to their home and the title to their car, a life insurance policy, and a suspicious, over-friendly co-worker reveal a less than perfect husband. Her husband had hidden a desperate sexual addiction, a deviant double personality, together with a six- year office affair, unknown and known debt, and more. His deception had been so complete that few in her circle would ever come to acknowledge the startling truth despite the mounting evidence to the contrary. Part 2: This part of the book is all about the healing that took place for Sophia to the depths of which she did not yet know were possible. "This is a riveting story of love and loss, of trust betrayed, of light and dark energies, all at play in a seemingly happy marriage. It is a story about healing the dark night of the soul that happens when your heart is shattered." "My intent is to break the cycle of secrecy and addiction, and everything that comes with this. The first step is being able to look at yourself, your life, and your relationships with a clarity and truth that may not be easy or pleasant to look at, but in the end it does set you free. As the Phoenix burns and flames, it also rises from the ashes to new heights unseen and unknown."

The Knock at the Door
Three Gold Star women, linked forever by unimaginable loss, share their inspiring, unlikely journey that began on the worst day of their lives.What happens when tragedy knocks on your front door? For us, it was a literal knock, with two men standing in crisply pressed uniforms. They had news. News that gutted us to the core -- the death of our loved ones, a brother and two husbands -- in combat zones. The thing about those moments is that it's almost inconceivable that they can happen to you. That is, until they do.This book is for anyone who has ever received a knock at the door. And if you live long enough and have the courage to love others, you will. Maybe it's a cancer diagnosis. Maybe it's the death of your best friend. The betrayal of a spouse. The loss of a child. The implosion of a professional career. Or any tragedy that takes the person we love the most away from us too soon. Life is not without its challenges. The key is how you respond.This is our story. The story of three women, bonded by grief and purpose. Grief because we lost our best friends in war. Purpose because we resolved -- together -- to do something about it. To turn loss into inspiration for others and to channel the love that we had for the men in our lives into love for others through service. It was the only way we could escape the trap of despair and inaction, and we believe it offers a roadmap for anyone else who has ever had to answer a knock at the door.
When the Fairytale Ends
When you think about abuse, do you think of someone being slapped? Or punched? I did too until I found myself in a toxic marriage in which I was emotionally, verbally, mentally, and financially abused. I did not even know I was being abused until I was taken out of the situation and started seeing a therapist. This is my story of how the abuse changed my life, of how I had to fight to rebuild my life.I want to educate others to know that abuse is not just physical-to know that you can be "beaten down" with words, with threats. You are not alone, and there is hope for a new beginning. I hope to inspire other women. I look back at my journey and know that God was with me the entire time. I wanted to give up, to not go on anymore, but God gave me a purpose, and it was through that pain that I reached my purpose-to be a light in someone else's pain.

A House With Holes
Reading this book feels like binging on a Netflix series because you have to see what happens next. You are invited to have a front-row seat to view what it took to create an amazing marriage while undertaking an almost impossible renovation. --Dr. Larry Wagner, PhD, professor of counseling, Columbia International University, Columbia, South Carolina Seasoned renovators Greg and Denise Broadwater dream of owning and restoring a historic home in downtown Charleston, South Carolina. What follows are six years of unimaginable challenges and successes concerning the renovation of their condemned 1920s Charleston Cottage, their place in a transitional neighborhood on Congress Street, and their thirty-year marriage. In a community that struggles to feel like home, alongside normal stressors of full-time work and family weddings, the heightened tension taxes the Broadwaters to the brink. Nothing is left untouched in their hundred-year-old cottage full of architectural and historical details, from the rotted floorboards to the hole in the roof and the knob-and-tube wiring that causes a fire. But through Denise's fascinating memoir, A House with Holes, the Christian author and therapist shares how she and her craftsman-architect husband strengthened the holes in both their home and their relationship during this wearying time in order to survive and thrive. Using Broadwater's counseling experience, marriage principles have been woven seamlessly into the text, demonstrating ways to maintain relationships in the midst of struggles. Reflective questions close each chapter so that readers may ponder their own relationships with growth and understanding.

Ain't She Pretty
Many think of a funeral home as a somber, depressing place. However, the word "home" means it is a place of comfort and a place that brims with life rather than death. "Funerals are for the living" is a commonly known truth. Families who come to a funeral home are often tired from the events leading up to their loved one's death. Sometimes they are traumatized by a sudden death, and sometimes people come to a funeral home to express support, encouragement, and respect for friends. Meeting each person's needs can be overwhelming, but it is an honor and, in many ways, a positive challenge. In this book, I want to share what it is like to be the person who comforts others, lightens their mood, encourages them, and helps them make decisions when they can sometimes barely think. In my case, the role of a funeral director is one that dates back to childhood. I was a "preacher's kid" who accompanied my father to many funerals. Sometimes afterward, especially if a pet had died, I would carry out a funeral in my own back yard, using my bicycle for a hearse, a tiny box for a casket, and garden flowers to decorate a grave. I chose to attend Mortuary College while working at a funeral home and found the work to be fulfilling. Since my first job at a funeral home, I have been amazed at how the human condition plays out in this comforting place. People share memories at a funeral home, they express grief through tears and laughter, and they sometimes return to say thanks to the funeral director who helped them find meaning after a loss. A funeral director is always blessed with families who become regular clientele when they suffer loss, thus a funeral director creates a following and close bond of friendships built on trust and a thankful heart. I hope you enjoy sharing with me in Looking Back to many of my experiences in my life's work in my hometown of Anniston, Alabama.
The Grieving Heart Journal
This book is dedicated to anyone who has ever experienced grief, so basically it is dedicated to everyone. By allowing yourself time to grieve properly you can then become free to move on and embrace all that is life. I found that journaling was very cathartic and helped me along my personal processes. I'm including pages for you to record thoughts and feelings with each piece as well as additional journal pages in the back. It can be therapeutic to write down emotions that overwhelm and in doing so allow the healing. May you find comfort and know that you are not alone in this process.

Are you there God? Because I am still single.
WHY GOD? So you believe in God - but why does he seem absent by not giving you a spouse? Why would a kind creator constantly frustrate your best dreams in life? And whether you are just starting your walk of faith, or have gone far with God...this failure to find a spouse can leave you desolate. Much Christian literature on being a single either assumes you are somewhere just out of college, or are living in Victorian times. This book takes the reader on journey of a Christian single living for two decades in secular metropolitan Boston. G.T. Saliga dives into all the struggles, heartaches and philosophical wanderings you can go through in today's society. This book partly offers reflections on the spiritual meaning of Christian message for singles today, and partly tells the two decade story of the author who discovered these truths while working through loneliness and near loss of faith. This reflective memoir is filled with romance, frustration, heartbreak, theology, humor, and philosophy...as the author fights to find God's answers. Ultimately the greatest lesson is learned by radical dependence on faith to resolve this dilemma. Are you there God? Because I'm still single, offers great encouragement for any struggling Christian and ultimately encourages the believer to find answers in a deeper relationship with Christ.
Aline and Valcour, Vol. 3
Set against the impending riptide of the French Revolution and composed while Sade was imprisoned in the Bastille, Aline and Valcour embodies the multiple themes that would become the hallmark of his far more sulfurous works. This epistolary work combines genres, interweaving the adventure story with the libertine novel and the novel of feelings to create a compelling, unitary tale. Turbulence disrupts virtuous lives when corrupt schemers work incestuous designs upon them that don't stop with abduction and seduction -- as crime imposes tragic obstacles to love and delivers harsh threats to morality and religion. Embedded within Aline and Valcour are sojourns in unknown lands in Africa and the South Seas: Butua, a cannibalistic dystopia, and Tamo矇, a utopian paradise headed by a philosopher-king. In Butua, a lustful chief and callous priesthood rule over a doomed people, with atrocious crimes committed in broad daylight, while in Tamo矇 happiness and prosperity reign amidst benevolent anarchy. Although not sexually explicit, Aline and Valcour shared the fate of Sade's other novels -- banned in 1815 and later classified a prohibited work by the French government. Published clandestinely, it did not appear in bookstores until after WWII. Continuously in print in France ever since, today it occupies the first volume of the Pl矇iade edition of the author's collected works. This is the very first rendering of the book into English since its publication in 1795.
Strictly Women
It's a growing trend among women in society today: feelings of inadequacy, doubt, and belief that their dreams don't matter to anyone but themselves. However, for author Rose Clement, what she sees in women today are ladies who have lost their sense of femininity and don't realize the amazing creations they are as daughters of the Almighty God. Her new book, Strictly Women, is to reach women who are in this position of low self-esteem and uncertainty of their capabilities. A mother of six who worked for 32 years as a social worker, Rose experienced firsthand broken women and families in social work who had been beaten down by circumstances and aftermaths of tragedies. She realized God wanted her to help these women more when God drew Rose's eyes to notice two women at church who He told, in a still, small voice, that they needed knowing their beauty and femininity again. Feeling unqualified for this task, the stories of Moses and Jeremiah from the Bible came to her mind as individuals who also felt inadequate for their assignments from God and how they flourished when they trusted God. Within the pages of Strictly Women, readers will find stories to inspire them to silence the naysayers in their lives and listen for God's promptings of encouragement and love for who they are. Exemplary stories from the Bible are shared as examples, combined with Rose's recounting of raising six children by herself after her husband's tragic car accident. Her own journey with God toward renewed discovery in her femininity prompted Rose to see God leading her to awaken in women their true natures in Christ as well. This influenced her to create Strictly Women, a book so women can see the beauty God has established in every woman and various purposes He has bestowed upon them in life.

A Wife Journey to Forgiveness
A Wife's Journey to Forgiveness was birthed by the personal experiences of the author while married to her late husband after his struggle with substance abuse. It is a glimpse of what is required of us, by God, to give and to receive forgiveness.

As the author journeys through the pitfalls of hurt and disappointment that was prevalent in her marriage, she was reminded that God's word is real and His mercies endureth forever. Ultimately, she realized that forgiveness was not for her husband, but the act of being able to forgive was for her. Through it all she acquired a more profound understanding of forgiveness. This book is equipped with many scriptural references to aid the reader in his//her quest of forgiveness. "Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us." Ephesians 3:20
