Life hurts when it is experienced through the flames of tragedy, but there is hope. There are answers. There is a purpose for it all. Todd had the perfect life: a thriving ministry, a happy and healthy family, and a bright future. All of it was interrupted when his oldest daughter, Makenzie, was killed in a traffic accident. Needing to heal, Todd took a leave of absence from ministry and went to work for a friend's company that refines gold and silver. As a refiner, Todd realized that the process of refining metal paralleled the grief and healing that he and his family were experiencing. In his book, Refined, Todd examines principles that help answer the questions that surface when pain and tragedy poke their noses into our lives. Whether you have experienced the tragic loss of a loved one or struggle with the daily frustrations of life, Refined will help you understand what God may be up to. Each chapter includes discussion topics.

Do you enjoy pain? I'm pretty sure your answer to that question would be, heck no! Who does? No one on earth genuinely enjoys pain, let alone painful experiences. But, what if I told you that your pain has a purpose? If you still need more convincing, then look no further. In this book, Pain Into Purpose, Alexis shares, in great detail, all of her painful experiences that left her with some pretty nasty, and unwanted emotional scars. With her childhood years filled with numerous instances of rejection, it only further fueled her search for acceptance in her adult life, but in all of the wrong places. From one failed relationship to another, it took Alexis to hit rock bottom to realize that things had to change. However, the change had to start from within. All it took was for Alexis to become willing to the healing process, embrace the unknown, and invite the one and only Source, to help her remember who she was all along. Was it fun? Absolutely not. However, Alexis reminds us of a key factor in life: the power of your choice. All it takes is one decision to propel you into your purpose. As you'll read throughout her story, her original desire to help others revealed itself in an unexpected way, in a very unexpected realm. Alexis shares her story to remind the reader this: You Are Never Too Broken To Be The Best Version Of Yourself.

"You've been hit and wounded. Life hasn't turned out to be what you expected, wanted, or hoped for. No one seems to care. You feel alone and isolated. Something is wrong. You can sense it. Your heart says, "There's got to be more." Yes, there is. It's time to turn things around. It's time to expose the lies you've been fed about yourself and embrace the truth. What's the truth? You're a Difference Maker. And it's time to start living that way"--provided by publisher.

Turning Pain into Love is a book about the power of God working through someone to transform their suffering into a lifelong blessing. So often the trials and tribulations of our life can make us feel hopeless and confused about who we are in this world. I believe, with the belief in something greater than ourselves, a positive attitude and the intention to make a difference in the world a person can turn anything into a gift. Anytime someone has been through an experience they now have the ability to help someone else that is going through the experience for the first time. Years ago when I was living in Santa Monica, California I came across a Reader's Digest. As I was flipping through the magazine I saw a quote, "I am not sure what Enlightenment is but I think it has something to do with turning pain into love". That phrase resonated with me and it has stuck with me ever since.

The greatest healing comes from turning pain into purpose. The Christian life is not always going to go smoothly. Joseph of the Bible was accused of rape and wrongly convicted. Job suffered pain and loss. Jesus suffered and died on the cross. Bad things are going to happen, but we also "know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose" (Romans 8:28). In Turning Pain into Purpose Loretta gives personal insight into paving a way to turning pain into purpose through guidance and prayer. As Christians, we have a mandate to love the unlovable, to love women and men who don't know how to love themselves. Loretta has made it her purpose to teach as many hurting people as God allows--that even when you don't know how to love yourself, God will always love you with an everlasting love. It is his desire that the cycle of brokenness and abuse be removed from our lives so we can walk in his freedom and purpose for our lives. Your purpose is in your testimony, and when you turn your story into a testimony, give it to God and he will heal you and reveal to you that you are not alone. Someone needs to hear you survived your pain and how you were able to overcome. God has a purpose for you. It is not to live abused and broken the rest of your life. Once you get a relationship with him, cry out to him. He will hear you. He has been there for you all the time, waiting to turn your brokenness into purpose.

When a relationship ends, agony and distress can be overwhelming. A broken heart is genuinely shocking. You wonder, "It's over. Now what?" In the years following her own breakup, writer Angelina Rosario attended relationship workshops, hired a relationship coach, read numerous books on how to get over a heartbreak, and discovered that heartbreak could be an uncompromising teacher of authenticity, power, purpose, and even joy. Angelina didn't learn how to tap into her power right away; her stubbornness and desire to suppress the pain caused her to be on a disruptive path longer than needed. After accepting her new circumstances and finding the power within them, she not only overcame her heartbreak, but discovered her purpose. She shares that knowledge here, with recognizable narratives, insights, on-the-spot practices, exercises, meditations, and down-to-Earth advice.
