They were among the chosen few, the "Family of God." There was rarely cause to doubt what was widely accepted and taught. "The Way" was "from the beginning" and the "workers" making up its ministry were following the perfect example of Jesus, their elder brother. So much seemed perfect. The workers were sent two-by-two without salary, just as Jesus sent His first disciples. The meetings were held in homes, following the example of the New Testament Church. An appearance of godliness and unity was evident among the people. No denominational name or organization defined them. Gene and Grace Luxon, following in the footsteps of their parents and grandparents, were wholly immersed in a fellowship known within its ranks as The Truth. Its quiet reverence deeply touched their hearts. Surrendering to its calling, the family drew apart from much of the world around them to be woven into the fabric of this tightly knit group of worldwide adherents. As the years passed, a gnawing uncertainty began to emerge in a landscape clouded with unanswered questions. Quiet conformance and persuasive beliefs discouraged questioning, but Gene and Grace began the quest to understand what they believed and why they believed it. While challenged to examine their faith, they discovered the liberating truth of God's salvation plan and the indescribable joy of God's unmerited favor. While you share this fascinating venture, you will find Has The Truth Set You Free? turning your focus from inward to upward and to a loving God with arms open wide. It was written from hearts filled with gratitude to God for the deliverance only He can give.

This title aims to demonstrate how you can experience the freedom of which the Scriptures speak - the glorious liberty of God's children.

More than twenty years ago, a little-known Swiss psychoanalyst wrote a book that changed the way many people viewed themselves and their world. In simple but powerful prose, the deeply moving Drama of the Gifted Child showed how parents unconsciously form and deform the emotional lives of their children. Alice Miller's stories about the roots of suffering in childhood resonated with readers, and her book soon became a backlist best seller. In The Truth Will Set You Free Miller returns to the intensely personal tone and themes of her best-loved work. Only by embracing the truth of our past histories can any of us hope to be free of pain in the present, she argues. Miller uses vivid true stories to reveal the perils of early-childhood mistreatment and the dangers of mindless obedience to parental will. Drawing on the latest research on brain development, she shows how spanking and humiliation produce dangerous levels of denial, which leads in turn to emotional blindness and to mental barriers that cut off awareness and the ability to learn new ways of acting. If this cycle repeats itself, the grown child will perpetrate the same abuse on later generations -- a message vitally important, especially given the increasing popularity of programs like Tough Love and of "child disciplinarians" like James Dobson. The Truth Will Set You Free will provoke and inform all readers who want to know Alice Miller's latest thinking on this important subject.

A beautifully illustrated collection of Gloria Steinem’s most inspirational and outrageous quotes, with an introduction and essays by the feminist activist herself “A fearless book full of passion, resolute perspective, and unbiased hope for the future.”—Janelle Monáe For decades—and especially now, in these times of crisis—people around the world have found guidance, humor, and unity in Gloria Steinem’s gift for creating quotes that offer hope and inspire action. From her early days as a journalist and feminist activist, Steinem’s words have helped generations to empower themselves and work together. Covering topics from relationships (“Many are looking for the right person. Too few are trying to be the right person.”) to the patriarchy (“Men are liked better when they win. Women are liked better when they lose. This is how the patriarchy is enforced every day.”) and activism (“Revolutions, like trees, grow from the bottom up.”), this is the definitive collection of Steinem’s words on what matters most. Steinem sees quotes as “the poetry of everyday life,” so she also has included a few favorites from friends, including bell hooks, Flo Kennedy, and Michelle Obama, in this book that will make you want to laugh, march, and create some quotes of your own. In fact, at the end of the book, there’s a special space for readers to add their own quotes and others they’ve found inspiring. The Truth Will Set You Free, But First It Will Piss You Off! is both timeless and timely. It is a gift of hope from Steinem to readers, and a book to share with friends.

Art Lindsley ably demonstrates that faith in Christ is necessarily opposed to and incompatible with the abuses of oppression, arrogance, intolerance, self-righteousness, closed-mindedness and defensiveness. Surprisingly, he shows that it is relativism which often harbors dangerous, inflexible absolutisms.

During my personal Christian walk. My Search for the true meaning of love. I walked through a life-long, hurt filled as well as many racist experiences. "My milk chocolate self was offensive to the world, especially to the African American Man." Growing up within the 70's the very most of my lessons were learned through heart ache and pain. The ultimate lesson of whom Love is at the exact same time taught me exactly what love does and or does not do. YAHWEH thank You Father for Your Graces and Mercies within waiting for me to get it together. Once I was able to allow YAHWEH to heal my broken heart as He finally made me sit still in January of 2013 and I had no choice but to finally listen. By way of me having my very first exacerbation and then being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. I was feeling as if I were dying, extremely confused, mentally lost and desperate and I was afraid and scared. Something I had never been in my entire life for no amount of reason. Now pleading and crying for one more chance to obey YAHWEH's beacon. For a month in the Hospital and then rehab. I prayed, I begged, I finally submitted. Father please, I'll get it done this time. It took some time for me to get any of my unconfused thoughts in order and I am still not 100 % myself. However, I am getting there. Even the fact that I am writing this book is a great faith builder for myself. I am smiling all over the place. Thank YOU YAHWEH Deborah LaDon Scott was born November 29th, 1973, in Detroit, Michigan, moving from the Eastside and North End to Northwest and finally Southwest Detroit within the multicultural neighborhoods.
