This is an account of the authors work with addicted clients and their codependent families in recovery from addiction, as well as an exploration of the excessive shame, guilt, fault, blame, and excuses that go along with it. What worked for them can surely apply to us all, even if our stories might not be quite as extreme. Tell me a story is not just for children to say. Read these stories for yourself, and appreciate the wisdom and guidance that can come from practical application of truth that fits everyones story. In the beginning was the Word, was said by the Apostle John, as the opening statement in his record of the Christ. In the beginning was the Story would not be a bad translation either.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 There is one exception to my dislike of euphemisms for dying: the phrase I lost my father. I have always found it difficult to talk about my father’s death, but the phrase I lost my father feels plain and lonely, like grief itself. #2 The experience of loss is different for everyone. It can be the loss of a loved one, a childhood toy, a beloved cat who went outside one day and never returned, the letter your grandmother wrote you when you graduated from college, a threadbare but perfect blue plaid shirt, and a journal you kept for the better part of five years. #3 The loss of a loved one can be extremely difficult to deal with, and it can affect us in many different ways. It can be difficult to see the world as it really is, marked by the evidence of past losses and the imminence of future ones. #4 I came from a family that loved language and stories. I had a vivid memory of my father materializing in the doorway of the room I was playing in, holding a Norton anthology of poetry and waving his hand like Merlin while reciting Kubla Khan.

A large segment of the population struggles with feelings of being detached from themselves and their loved ones. They feel flawed, and blame themselves. Running on Empty will help them realize that they're suffering not because of something that happened to them in childhood, but because of something that didn't happen. It's the white space in their family picture, the background rather than the foreground. This will be the first self-help book to bring this invisible force to light, educate people about it, and teach them how to overcome it.

In 2008, my life hit rock bottom, and I had had enough! I found myself on the couch meditating, There's got to be more than this, or I don't want to be here. In those moments, a peace overtook me, and I knew something had changed. People have told me that I was knocking on heaven's door, and the Lord opened it, even though I had no idea what had happened. Jesus is my Lord, and the Holy Spirit had been shadowing and leading me those past eight months to this truth. My spirit, soul, and body were all in! This was the "more" that I had been missing! I was spiritually starved (had no idea what spiritual even meant) and began eating the Word morning, noon, and night continually. I began taking notes of Joyce Meyer and Creflo Dollars programs (my mentors) and reading spiritual books by the dozens. I found myself doing outlines of them and had no idea why. Three months in, a voice spoke to me from out of nowhere. I turned completely around in a circle but saw no one. My Father said, "Write books to help others as you have found help." I argued with Him and said, "I can't. I don't know how." He said, "Use your notes," and I said, "Oh, okay," and immediately started going through my notes and putting this book together that you are now holding in your hands. My prayer for you is that you will read this book and allow the Holy Spirit to lead you into a new place where you find help, wholeness, and a life that is worth living.

History isn't always written by the winners... Twenty-first-century controversies over Confederate monuments attest to the enduring significance of our nineteenth-century Civil War. As Lincoln knew, the meaning of America itself depends on how we understand that fratricidal struggle. As soon as the Army of Northern Virginia laid down its arms at Appomattox, a group of Confederate officers took up their pens to refight the war for the history books. They composed a new narrative—the Myth of the Lost Cause—seeking to ennoble the sacrifice and defeat of the South, which popular historians in the twentieth century would perpetuate. Unfortunately, that myth would distort the historical imagination of Americans, north and south, for 150 years. In this balanced and compelling correction of the historical record, Edward Bonekemper helps us understand the Myth of the Lost Cause and its effect on the social and political controversies that are still important to all Americans.
