Marriage Enemy
Unbeknownst to many, a successful relationship and a lasting marriage requires more than the temporary, all-consuming love and attraction felt at the very beginning. As time moves forward and the seas of the relationship become rough and churning, we must know how to avoid and recover from the shipwreck of separation and divorce. In Marriage Enemy, Paul Fearon guides readers through the learning curve of relationships. After years of demotivation, depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideations, Fearon became inspired by stories of the failed marriages of others and his own experience with two failed marriages. It was then that he decided to look deeper into the innerworkings and all too common negative habits of human relationships. With training in leadership and relationship connection, Fearon's role as a mentor, motivator, and relationship-problem resolution coach and coordinator has created a passion for imparting knowledge and understanding to those who are struggling in self and relationship fulfillment. It is Fearon's belief that the greatest asset for building healthy relationships is the establishment of a quality relationship between man and God. The Enemy will always attack our areas of struggle, but relationships do not have to be a source of contention. God's Word describes the fundamental principles for relationship success, but it is the lack of understanding of these principles that lead so many to relationship failure. We must remember that each sunken ship is a reminder of a crucial mistake made, but if we manage to build our relationships with a solid foundation, strong hull, and steadfast captain, we can navigate any sea, no matter the weather. Meet Paul Fearon, a Jamaican living in the USA. He is the father of Monique and Paula-Ann Fearon. Paul graduated with honors from Bethel Bible College and Edna Manley College of the Visual and Performing Arts, Jamaica. He wears many hats, including mentor, motivator, coach, coordinator, songwriter, music director, gospel artiste, and worship leader. He is passionate about imparting knowledge. His two divorces and personal struggles with depression and anxiety inspired him to write this book. He believes that a lack of understanding of the basic elements of a successful relationship leads to its demise.

Reframing Trauma Through Social Justice
This cross-disciplinary volume examines and reframes trauma as a social and political issue in the context of wider society, critiquing the widely accepted pathologizing of trauma and violence in current discourse.Rooted in critical social theory, this insightful text reinvokes the critiques and analysis of the women's movement and the "personal is political" framing of trauma to unpack the mainstreaming of trauma discourse which has emerged today. Accomplished contributors address the social construction of femininity and masculinity in relation to trauma and violence, and advocate for a broader framing of trauma away from the constrained focus on pathologizing and diagnosing trauma, individual psychologizing and therapy. Instead, the book offers a fresh and compelling look at how discursive resistance, alternative feminist and narrative approaches to emotional distress and the mental health effects of violence can be developed alongside community-based, preventive, political and policy-based actions to create effective shifts in discourse, practice, policy and programming.This is fascinating reading for upper-level undergraduate and postgraduate students, researchers and academics in a broad range of fields of study, including psychology, social work, gender and women's studies and sociology, as well as for professionals, including policy makers, clinical psychologists and social workers.

THE WORLD'S SHORTEST BOOK ON RELATIONSHIPS, Discover the ONLY reason relationships fail.
Larry's interest in relationship difficulties was actually something forced upon him from life experiences. He witnessed his 1st homicide at a very young age when his father took his mother's life in his presence. Growing up without his biological parents created a desire in him to have children and give them the love he yearned for.He served the government in various capacities from the age of 17 as a civil service electrician, police officer and soldier. As an officer he once again witnessed humans inflict unnecessary pain on one another sometimes in the name of love. Then he was given orders to leave for war in Iraq where the possibility of having to deal with loss of life on a greater level really concerned him. War is unfortunate whether it's a husband against his wife or two nations.He had great difficulty in relationships culminating in sickness and even contemplating suicide at one point.Luckily he found a workable system that helped him understand what was going on and it eventually created this book. Witnessing a friend place her husband before anyone else really opened his eyes to another way to love and created many questions which were answered for him with this work. Thanks V.Larry hopes others will find peace once they raise their understanding of why we have failed relationships and create peaceful households.All the Best, LARRY.

Statistics tell us that one in four highly religious marriages in the United States have abuse in them, although few are willing to admit it.

She sensed something was wrong but couldn't quite put her finger on it. Her husband was controlling, he lied, he gaslighted her, he meted out small sums of money to run the household of nine children. But he was a different guy at church. At church, people loved and revered him, and the church leaders told her to, above all else, to submit to him. When she finally asked herself the question Is this Domestic Abuse? her eyes were opened, and she knew she had to do better for herself and her children. This handbook for Christian women will help you to evaluate your own situation and, if warranted, it will show you how to protect yourself and your children from what could become a dangerous and deadly situation.

What I Wish I Knew
My relationship journey has had many ups and downs. I've had a marriage that ended in divorce, intimate relationships that led to my having children by multiple women, exchanges with friends that left me feeling drained and confused, and business partnerships that resulted in gridlock. When I consider my relationships with family and friends, I've come to realize that sometimes those who are closest to you can hurt you the most.And although one might think you should be able to turn to family for refuge or support, there are times family members are manipulative and, making it clear that "just cause we kin, don't make us friends." At my rock bottom, I became very frustrated and so discontent that I knew it was time to have a conversation with the person in the mirror, realizing the common denominator in all of these relationships was ME. When we hear the word "relationship," the first thing that comes to mind is romantic relationships. True enough, our relationship with our significant other gets most of our attention, time, and energy. What we don't realize is that every relationship in our lives - parental, familial, social, professional and others are affected by our first and most important relationship...the one we have with ourselves.I'm excited to share my experiences good, bad, and indifferent in order to inspire change that starts with SELF. I hope to encourage you to take inventory of the things around you that you can control and not be controlled by the things around you. This means taking accountability for our choices, setting healthy boundaries, and giving ourselves permission to realign or redefine our WHY so that the outcomes line up more closely with our intentions. This is how to build a divine foundation of self that better serves us. Only then can we let our foundation lead the way and not allow people, situations, or circumstances to dictate our responses to life.It all lends to our growth and is a part of the process. Loving the way God intends versus how we feel. This is how we build better families, better households, and better communities.

The William Smith Adams Family - From the Cumberland Gap to San Saba County, Texas
The Adams surname has contributed some very famous individuals to the history of the world. American history just before and immediately after the Revolutionary War has provided such patriotic names as Samuel Adams, as well as two Presidents: John Adams (cousin of Samuel Adams) and his son, John Quincy Adams.But there were many other Adamses who were not so well-known, except in the frontier areas where they eventually made their homes. They came with large families and a willingness to work hard to provide for them, and to fight for their security if need be. These Adamses made significant contributions to the settlement and development of the American frontier when it was most needed. One of these men was William Smith Adams, whose great-grandfather closely followed Daniel Boone through the Cumberland Gap into Kentucky. From his early home in Lincoln County, Kentucky, William Smith Adams followed the lure of available land for more than a thousand miles by ox-drawn wagon to San Saba County, Texas, by way of Missouri, braving the hardships and dangers of the wilderness all along the way.
