Jean Dancy's Love Guide for Teens

This book was my baby, my gift...to all of the teenage girls who were crowding my room and following me across the campus...pleading with me for answers, "Ms. Dancy, Ms. Dancy! What is real love?" This book answers that question and so much more...as it uncovers the lies and traps often set for girls.Love Guide for Teens provides clear, simple information, a roadmap, and a flashlight that can help guide teenagers through their journey---unharmed.My wonderful students at Cleveland High said, "Ms. Dancy, you should write something for us to follow...something short and very easy to understand." That is how this book was born.I have counseled married couples, troubled teens, and people with relationship problems for years. I love teenagers and I consider it an honor and a privilege to be in their presence. I am in awe of how beautiful they are and I wish I could show the world what I see behind those tattoos, sagging clothes, and pierced bodies.Some people toss the thought of teen love out of their minds like a used coffee cup but it's real...so real that there are young people who consider suicide when it ends. I know. I have talked with them. I have cried with them.Love Guide for Teens was written primarily to help teenage girls identify some of the tricks and traps of abusers. However, it can be a valuable tool for young men to see where they are on the potentially abusive scale. This book can be a treasure for precious girls who are stumbling through those wonderful butterfly feelings of love without a flashlight or a plan.This book does not promote or endorse inappropriate behavior for teenagers.Love Guide for Teens can help build self-esteem and confidence in teenagers.

The Cost of Forgiveness
A brother's love, betrayals...websites and webs of lies...excuses and evasions...psychological insights, inward doubts, and physical pain...sadness, selfishness, supportive friends, seclusion, and secrets...gossiping, generosity, and God's plans...unwelcome visitors and unexpected revelations...painful conversations, keepsakes, and kindnesses...and finally forgiveness. The writer reveals these raw experiences and emotions as well as her deep struggle to forgive others in an anonymous blog that has many followers. It is only there that she feels secure in sharing her innermost thoughts and feelings with others. Her blog is written in the train-of-thought writing style common to social media. The Cost of Forgiveness slowly weaves together not only the anonymous blog writer's reflections but also the threads of the past and a protective family who loved her but were at a loss to truly understand her, her present life with its self-imposed isolation in a rural setting, coupled with tantalizing tidbits of the secrets she hides from others, as she gently teases the reader with almost-revealed but still hidden truths about her life. This slow self-revelation is interspersed with interesting details about her work as a website designer and her interests in poetry, books, and photography. "Many people have a difficult time forgiving and it helps to watch her character go through the steps she needed in order to forgive. Well done!"-Linda H. Retired."I love the flow of the story, the well-chosen Bible examples, the descriptive words of the lovely area where the story takes place, and the baring of her soul by the author." Rose Leblanc, Retired Nurse "The author effectively paints a realistic story of the struggle to face the heavy weight of unforgiveness and the associated guilt of a bitter heart." Stephanie Greer, Teacher

Coercive Control in Children’s and Mothers’ Lives
Coercive control is a severe form of domestic violence experienced by millions of children worldwide. It involves a perpetrator using a range of tactics to intimidate, humiliate, degrade, exploit, isolate and control a partner or family member. Some coercive control perpetrators use violence, others do not.

Resistance happens in everyday life, not just in response to incidents of violence. Breaking free from coercive control is not a one-off event but a sustained battle for safety and recovery in which child and adult survivors need supports and professional interventions that work. Written accessibly for students, researchers, practitioners, survivors of domestic violence, and anyone with a general interest in the topic, the book provides a child-centered perspective to revolutionize our understanding of how children are affected by coercive control-based domestic violence.

Platonic
Instant New York Times bestseller Is understanding the science of attachment the key to building lasting friendships and finding "your people" in an ever-more-fragmented world? How do we make and keep friends in an era of distraction, burnout, and chaos, especially in a society that often prizes romantic love at the expense of other relationships? In Platonic, Dr. Marisa G. Franco unpacks the latest, often counterintuitive findings about the bonds between us--for example, why your friends aren't texting you back (it's not because they hate you!), and the myth of "friendships happening organically" (making friends, like cultivating any relationship, requires effort!). As Dr. Franco explains, to make and keep friends you must understand your attachment style--secure, anxious, or avoidant: it is the key to unlocking what's working (and what's failing) in your friendships. Making new friends, and deepening longstanding relationships, is possible at any age--in fact, it's essential. The good news: there are specific, research-based ways to improve the number and quality of your connections using the insights of attachment theory and the latest scientific research on friendship. Platonic provides a clear and actionable blueprint for forging strong, lasting connections with others--and for becoming our happiest, most fulfilled selves in the process.

No Longer Mad at God
Loreen Sumner grew up in the church and followed all the rules. She loved the "idea" of church and God, but at eighteen she made some decisions about relationships she should have prayed more about. She had decided to create her own path in life and did not "acknowledge" the Lord in all her ways. Should it have been any wonder, then, that He was not able to "direct" her paths as He promised in Proverbs 3:6?Twenty-five years later, life, for Loreen, had gone wrong on so many levels. Couldn't God have intervened? Why had He allowed her to suffer so many heartbreaking disappointments? To her, divorce felt like the death of an entire family. She questioned or second-guessed God's fairness or goodness, much like the Bible character Job did. Thankfully, through a study of the book of Job, she came to a very different conclusion about God. Just as Job confessed at the end of his story, she had only "heard" about God and didn't really know Him as she should have. She had not been seeking Him with her whole heart. But that has all changed, and this is the book that has come forth as a result. Loreen Sumner is No Longer Mad at God!

Reflections of the Curse
Natalie's saga continues through male archetypes, prophetic dreams, past life memories and legal situations on her journey to genuine love."Everyone we meet is our mirror - an aspect of our inner-self, either in the sameness or the opposite."In the Garden of Eden, God told Adam and Eve not to partake of the fruit from one particular tree - the tree of knowledge. The Serpent/Satan slithered in approach to the woman Eve telling/enticing her that it was okay to eat of the fruit of the tree. That nothing harmful would occur, to not believe God, but to believe him. Eve believed the Serpent/Satan and took a bite of the forbidden fruit. It tasted good and nothing negative appeared to occur. Eve went to Adam and told him as such. Adam took a bite of the fruit. Adam and Eve realized they were naked and became ashamed. God noticing their shame inquired of Adam, "Why did you eat of the fruit from the forbidden tree?" Adam replied, "The woman, Eve told me to eat of it. God asked Eve, "Why did you partake of the fruit from the forbidden tree? Eve replied, "The serpent told me that it was okay to eat of it, so I did."In the fall of Adam, he became a blame-deflecting narcissist. Shame was introduced into paradise. Out of his shame, Adam took no accountability or responsibility for eating the forbidden fruit. Instead, he put the blame on Eve, then Eve passed the buck to the Serpent/Satan. The 'devil made me do it' excuse. The Serpent/Satan knew that he'd won this first round. Adam held Eve out in front of him as a shield or excuse. This story line has continued on varying levels ever since.Satan was the original malignant narcissist caring only about manipulation, control, deception, lies, gas-lighting and destruction as, he tries to take the power of God for himself. Satan/Narcissists are full of shame. The shame of envy, lies and sin. Satan's goal out of his envy, is to try and usurp God by perverting and destroying God's most precious and prized creation that of the human being and what better way to do this, but in the romantic male/female relationship.Genesis 1:27 KJV "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."The Serpent/Satan began first thing to tarnish love, peace, purity, bliss and joy in the male/female God-created connection. In each and every male/female connection there will be three. Man, woman and Satan, or male, female and God. And of course, it extrapolates out from there into the world into each and every relationship on earth. There will always aspects of good and evil. It only depends on the spectrum and degree of good, or evil in each person, in any given time, as it magnifies into each relationship. Along with the awareness of self, either to step into self-reflection and healing, or to fall further and deeper into separation from self into sin and shame.God's creation of Adam and Eve necessitated a maturation process, as well as a process for salvation.Why do we attract to those that we do and why do they attract to us? This is one of life's greatest mysteries. Patterns of romance selection are guided by complex internal interweavings. Perhaps, the attraction is to those who carry the energy needed to become more aware of imprints & negative beliefs, in order to heal and further expand our soul.....
