Fighting to Survive: The Suicide Disease by Judy V. RentzAre you hurting, pain that comes upon your body every day as you rise? Do you have pain you've tried to explain to doctor after doctor, searching always for anyone who could understand and offer compassion to you? And yet no help comes time after time. No one knows, understands, or even searches information for the "Monster" that takes you to your knees, grabbing and holding anything to help you get through the unrelenting attacks that many times cause you to think you cannot survive. There is help for you. I write this to let you know we "sufferers" now have help. Six and a half years I lay in gripping, deathly pain, but praise God, help came. Read on, you can also be helped if this is your story.I'm definitely a country girl and proud of it. However, with my husband's job with JC Penney Co. we've moved from one side of the country to the other, seeing much and learning to meet people from all locations in the world. We had a great time showing our two children some wonderful sights in this amazing country!I love all the people, but nothing has impressed me more than the upbringing I had in our small country area outside of Maryville, TN. I credit my mother. Studying every afternoon was her lifeline. She told us many times over how the Bible would have us live. This is my most cherished memory and certainly has attributed to the person I am today, not perfect, but always forgiven.https://judyvrentz.com/https://www.amazon.com/Fighting-Survive-Suicide-Judy-Rentz/dp/1990695884/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1663772585&sr=1-2https://www.booksidepress.com/http://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/111022bookside.mp3

Piper Finds Her Special by Alison KeenanPiper Finds Her Special provides a peek inside the mind of a therapy dog as she discovers her special purpose in life while providing a reading program for children. This is a true story about Team Keenan who works with children who have reading challenges. Through the magic of unconditional love, the dog and her owner help children lose their fear and anxieties while reading, and ultimately, increase their reading skills and comprehension. This book describes how reading programs with a therapy animal can improve confidence, grammar, and overall scholastic ability. Therapy animals provide a calming and nurturing atmosphere, which is effective in treating PTSD, depression, stress, and other anxiety disorders. Studies have shown the negative impact our current realities have on mental health and well-being, but the calming, loving and charismatic nature of reading to a dog improves mood, environment, and reading fluency. Alison is a Registered Nurse living in Tennessee. Following her struggle with a rare blood disease and her dog's diagnosis of kidney disease, she made plans to work with her Golden Retriever, Piper, to become a registered therapy dog. Both Alison and her dog learned from their medical challenges to turn their adversities into blessings by giving back to their community. They completed specialized training so they can provide support through a program called READingPaws®. Together they visit schools, libraries, and other reading programs to help students improve their reading skills and comprehension. They also visit local hospitals, clinics, support groups, and programs to provide emotional support and companionship. Alison is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee School of Nursing. She enjoys playing the bagpipes and sings in her church choir. She participates in prison ministry to incarcerated women in Tennessee. In her spare time, she enjoys scuba diving with her husband. https://www.therapydogpiper.com/https://www.amazon.com/Piper-Finds-Special-Alison-Keenan/dp/1645317692http://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/111022keenan.mp3

Chopin Through the Window: An Autobiography by Franziska Stein and Amy Crews CuttsFranziska was a young girl of just fifteen when Adolf Hitler annexed her homeland, the Sudetenland, to Germany. While she was making plans to study philosophy and art history at the prestigious Karls University in Prague, the tides of war were ominously rolling toward her. Conscripted into the Red Cross as a nurse to tend wounded soldiers, her idyllic life ended, replaced by a fight for survival and a search for love. At the end of the war, she was evicted from her home by a series of inhumane laws meant to punish all Germans for the transgressions of the Nazi regime. From witnessing the losses imposed on civilians during war, she dedicated her life to seeking justice on behalf of others. The next seventy years of her life would play out across three continents and be touched by the Cold War and a civil war. Her past would often collide with her present in the most unlikely places and in unexpected ways.When I met Franziska Stein in 2016, I knew that I had come into the company of an extraordinary woman. In her remarkable autobiography, Chopin Through the Window, she confirms my impression as she chronicles the incredible life she has led over the past nine decades. Her story is detailed and sweeping in scope, replete with events and episodes played out against the historical backdrops of the times and places where they unfolded. Throughout, she demonstrates time and again courage, resolve, family commitment, drive, and an unending quest for justice. Her book holds lessons for all of us, but especially for those who cannot at times see the way forward. Ms. Stein shows us in so many ways how we can cut through immense difficulties and move on, and in doing that she has done us all a favor. Get the book and you'll see what I mean." -U.S. Ambassador Johnny Young (Ret.) Sierra Leone, Togo, Bahrain and Slovenia.About Amy Crews CuttsI am an economist by training and by trade, having earned my PhD in economics a long time ago at the University of Virginia. I spent over a decade at Freddie Mac, ending my tenure as senior director and deputy chief economist, positions I held for my last 8 years there. I then was SVP-chief economist at Equifax for 8 years before setting off on my own as a consulting economist in 2019. I have written over 20 articles in peer-reviewed economics journals and edited volumes, but Chopin Through the Window is my first non-economics work. I am a noted expert on housing and mortgage markets, consumer credit, and macroeconomic forecasting. I am frequently cited in print media such as the WSJ and the NYT as well as trade media. For all these accomplishments, bringing my grandmother's story to readers is I think my biggest, and most important, one.https://chopinthroughthewindow.com/index.htmlhttps://www.amazon.com/Chopin-Through-Window-Autobiography-Cutts-ebook/dp/B09MXGRSWN/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=https://wordhousebp.com/http://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/102722whp1.mp3

Deliver Us From Evil: A Prayer For Our Times by Dr. Arnold O. ThompsonDeliver Us from Evil: A Prayer for Our Times is a book written for the volatile evil times in which we live and what primarily the Christian church needs to know and do about it. Its purpose is to move beyond the performance stage to view the backstage, to look behind at the often unrecognized spiritual and evil infrastructure that constantly influence and corrupt what we see on the world's popular stage. It explains why truth on every level is under attacked. It exposed the satanic strategy of lies, camouflage, hidden agendas, hidden spiritual wars that contribute to evil in the world. It reveals the many ways in which the Christian church is being dragged into wars God did not call us to fight, while neglecting the one he called us to fight. It reveals why the evangelical church is so deadly silent about God's good news to our world while evil news is always viral in our times.Most of all, this book lays out how we must fight our battles. It reveals the detailed biblical battle plan God gave his followers to follow, to fight, and to win. It shows the path back to the real spiritual war against evil God called his people to engage. It delivers the often hidden foundational reason and purpose for Christ's prophetic prayer to his followers. This book shows Jesus's prayer was meant particularly for our times and dispensation just before he returns to finally and ultimately "deliver us from evil." It is one of the most important Christian books for survival for the Christian church's effective witness in our times.Dr. Arnold O.

Thompson"Wisdom is riding on a passenger train of time on a collision course with destiny, and we are all in for the ride. This book is about wisdom riding on this train."These words, as part of the introduction of the book, set the specific context and overall challenge and purpose for this book. Here, wisdom is likened to a lady riding on the train of civilization past prominence in a social, political, and spiritual direction.

Her wisdom of the ages is despised, and her steady influences of the ages are ignored.Now we live in a vast field of folly. How do we find our way out? How do we see her, hear her, and love her again? This is the story of this book.Dr. Arnold O.
