She had been on a short flight to look at Christmas lights and, upon exiting the small plane, was hit by the still-moving propeller blade. A frantic 911 call, several major surgeries, and thousands of prayers later: Lauren lived. But she lost her left hand and left eye. And she had to face some incredibly difficult questions: What kind of future will I have? Where is God in all this pain? Will anyone ever be able to love me now? In Still LoLo, Lauren speaks out for the first time since her accident. She and her family reveal what really happened that night, what Laurens life is like today, what got them through their journey toward healing, and how they conquered all odds to persevere as a family.

Kristen Anderson thought she had the picture perfect life until strokes of gray dimmed her outlook: three friends and her grandmother died within two years. Still reeling from these losses, she was raped by a friend she thought she could trust. She soon spiraled into a seemingly bottomless depression. One January night, the seventeen year old decided she no longer wanted to deal with the emotional pain that smothered her. She lay down on a set of cold railroad tracks and waited for a freight train to send her to heaven and peace. But Kristens story doesnt end there. In this book, this remarkably joyful young woman shares the miracle of her survival, the agonizing aftermath of her failed suicide attempt, and the hope that has completely transformed her life, giving her a powerful purpose for living. Her gripping story of finding joy against all odds provides a vivid and unforgettable reminder that life is a gift to be treasured.

But what happened, in the wake of personal tragedy, to bring together a brother and his two sisters to sing so boldly for their Lord? And what was life really like for a major contemporary Christian band in those early days? In My Second Chapter, Matthew Ward tells his part of the story-full of intriguing and humorous behind-the-scenes anecdotes and observations: growing up in a large family, orphaned at age twelve, finding the Lord in the California Jesus movement, becoming a music star, traveling the world, battling cancer, raising his own family, and much more-all revealing Gods faithfulness in every circumstance. Join Matthew on his amazing personal journey from tragedy to dynamic faith that helped set contemporary Christian music on fire. And discover how God chooses whom he will to accomplish great and mighty acts.

Why do some leaders achieve their goals and reach new heights, while others barely hang in there and survive? Based on his groundbreaking psychological study of the ways that successful individuals think and behave, Dr. Henry Cloud presents a simple yet profound roadmap to help leaders - and those who want to become leaders - arrive at greater levels of personal growth and corporate influence than they previously thought were possible. The good news for all of us is that leadership success is not limited to vague notions of charisma nor traditional advantages like graduate degrees and connections, but much more to a pattern of thinking and moving forward that learns from mistakes and stays focused on goals.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=596557 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=523522 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1351522 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1662325 Contrary to popular belief, we do not have to be perfect to do Gods work. Look no further than the twelve disciples whose many weaknesses are forever preserved throughout the pages of the New Testament. Jesus chose ordinary men - fisherman, tax collectors, political zealots - and turned their weakness into strength, producing greatness from utter uselessness. MacArthur draws principles from Christs careful, hands-on training of the original twelve disciples for todays modern disciple - you. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=514988 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1678602 Ren Girard holds up the gospels as mirrors that reveal our broken humanity, and shows that they also reflect a new reality that can make us whole. Like Simone Weil, Girard looks at the Bible as a map of human behavior, and sees Jesus Christ as the turning point leading to new life. The title echoes Jesus words: I saw Satan falling like lightning from heaven. Girard persuades us that even as our world grows increasingly violent the power of the Christ-event is so great that the evils of scapegoating and sacrifice are being defeated even now. A new community, Gods nonviolent kingdom, is being realized - even now.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=273656 The man widely considered to be the worlds greatest living medium brings a message of hope and love for all, based on the extraordinary lessons of his lifes work. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=338245 By its very nature, life is an ongoing transformation.
