For many people, remaining optimistic and feeling positive about themselves and their lives is a constant battle—especially when circumstances are difficult and life is hard. For others, negativity is something that only sneaks up from time to time, yet still wreaks havoc in their hearts. Regardless of the root causes, once pessimistic thoughts permeate our minds, our feelings and emotions begin to control us instead of us controlling them. Eventually it doesn’t seem possible to stay positive, happy, and full of joy, and negative thought patterns shake our faith, causing us to sink emotionally, mentally, and spiritually over time. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Despite what storms roll in, hearts anchored in God don’t sink. When we change the way we think, we can change the way we feel and live, even if our circumstances remain the same. Intentionally embracing the opportunity to experience a transformed heart and a renewed mind opens the door for a changed life, because a positive mind will always lead to a more positive life. In Unsinkable Faith, author and Proverbs 31 Ministries speaker Tracie Miles offers hope for women who struggle with negativity. Each chapter explores Tracie’s and other women’s personal stories, showing how they rose above their circumstances by transforming and renewing their minds. Unsinkable Faith is a breath of fresh air for anyone longing for a heart full of joy, an unbreakable smile, and a new, more optimistic perspective on life. This book will equip you to: Replace pessimism with positive thinking by becoming the captain of your thoughts; Learn how true joy and happiness are based on choice, not circumstances; Overcome unhealthy habits of negative thinking by intentionally implementing three easy mind-renewing steps; Stop feeling hopeless and pitiful, and start feeling hope-filled and powerful instead; and Discover that when you change the way you think, you change the way feel, and in turn you can change your life completely.

The kingdom of heaven is not a pipe dream but God's dream for humankind. Jesus taught us to pray for God's Kingdom to come on earth. He painted for us a picture of what life is like in the kingdom of heaven in the Beatitudes. To live in the kingdom of heaven we need to confront and overcome the sins of lust, anger, envy, greed, acedia, pride and gluttony as well as the demons of guilt and fear. The Beatitudes are to prepare the soil of our hearts so that we can bear the fruit of the Spirit - love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility and self-control. Like the alcoholics on their journey to recovery, we are on a journey to the kingdom of heaven. The Twelve Steps of the Alcoholics Anonymous can be condensed into the four disciplines of remembering God, examining our hearts, submitting to God and trusting God so that we can have a relationship with God as our Heavenly Father, our Shepherd of Love as well as our Divine Lover. This book is a reflection of the author's journey of living in God's Loving Embrace. Dr. Patrick Kee, a retired palliative physician, had been caring for the elderly sick and terminally ill since 1990. In 2011, he "retired" from general practice to care for the dying as a palliative physician and they taught him the reality of the spiritual dimension of life. In the autumn of his life he found himself in the "desert time of God" which led him to explore and practise contemplative prayer. He stays in Singapore and is married to his wife, Mary, for the past 48 years.He has 2 daughters and 5 grandchildren.
