Book excerpt: This book presents a biblical and practical look at Christians and their emotions, building off of the concept that most contemporary Christians have misconceptions about why we have emotions and how we should handle them. Trusting God doesn’t mean being consistently tranquil or subdued. Truth is, such a view makes life flat and two dimensional. We often forget that emotions are a gift; to fear them or stow them away would be to deny a huge part of what makes us human. This book explores the significance of the gift and the benefits of living a robust life of thought, action, and feeling. Illuminating the emotional life of Christ and his followers, As Dr. Gerald Peterman asks: If I’m forgiven, why do I feel guilt and shame? What about anger? What if I’m angry with God? What is the place of sadness in the Christian life? Is love only an action? Emotions don’t just happen to us like the virus or the flu, they are inherently part of us. Readers will find that the discussion extends beyond “good” and “bad”, as many emotions are neutral and it is up to them to figure out how to glorify God with them. Extended chapters on love and anger are included.

Book excerpt: “When you first view Rose-Lynn Fisher’s photographs, you might think you’re looking down at the world from an airplane, at dunes, skyscrapers or shorelines. In fact, you’re looking at her tears. . . . [There’s] poetry in the idea that our emotional terrain bears visual resemblance to the physical world; that our tears can look like the vistas we see out an airplane window. Fisher’s images are the only remaining trace of these places, which exist during a moment of intense feeling—and then vanish.” —NPR “[A] delicate, intimate book. . . . In The Topography of Tears photographer Rose-Lynn Fisher shows us a place where language strains to express grief, longing, pride, frustration, joy, the confrontation with something beautiful, the confrontation with an onion.” —Boston Globe Does a tear shed while chopping onions look different from a tear of happiness? In this powerful collection of images, an award-winning photographer trains her optical microscope and camera on her own tears and those of men, women, and children, released in moments of grief, pain, gratitude, and joy, and captured upon glass slides. These duotone photographs reveal the beauty of recurring patterns in nature and present evocative, crystalline imagery for contemplation. Underscored by poetic captions, they translate the mysterious act of crying into an atlas mapping the structure and magnificence of our interior lives. Rose-Lynn Fisher is an artist and author of the International Photography Award-winning studies Bee and The Topography of Tears. Her photographs are exhibited in galleries, festivals, and museums across the world and have been featured by the Dr. Oz Show, NPR, Smithsonian, Harper’s, New Yorker, Time, Wired, Reader’s Digest, Discover, Brain Pickings, and elsewhere. She received her BFA from Otis Art Institute and lives in Los Angeles.

Book excerpt: "This is a memoir of a successful Indiana pastor, eventually diagnosed with a bi-polar disorder, and of his wife, who made that journey with him. Through the years Bill and Jo experienced many challenges; bi-polar illness, breast cancer, a near divorce, a hurtful situation in the church that caused Bill to consider leaving the ministry, as well as several frightening episodes in the community, including one in which he helped avoiding a race riot. Bill and Jo grew in faith and developed a deep love and appreciation for each other. The setting of the story are the flat lands of Indiana and exotic places in India and Africa. What makes this story unique is Bill's courage to provide a graphic description of his experience in a psychiatric hospital. By sharing his story, Bill hoped readers would gain insight into the impact of this disease and how one can still live a productive life"--

Book excerpt: "After more than 40 years in my television news career, I reported on hundreds of stories of bravery, survival, and sheer determination by families facing some of life's toughest challenges. Louise Frank's account of her and her children's journey is among the most inspiring and compelling stories I have ever known. Her words take the reader on a sometimes searing, often funny, and almost unbelievable trek through the birth and too-short lives of her two beloved children... Joshua and Leah. Yet somehow, because of the innate fortitude and grit of this truly amazing mother, we are left inspired at the end. This story needed to be told and by writing it, Louise has honored the memory and legacy of her children. They - and she - will never be forgotten." Julie Blacklow, Journalist and Author --- How do you move forward when your life is unexpectedly shattered by devastating news? You can sink into despair, or this temporary devastation can become a profound journey where the choices you make bring more meaning, purpose, and promise than you could ever have imagined. The Gift of Great Sorrow by Louise Braün Frank is the story of Louise's 25-year journey with her children Joshua and Leah who were diagnosed at the age of six with a progressive terminal disease which eventually claimed their young lives. As she walked through the grief of their daily losses, instead of becoming discouraged and overwhelmed, she chose to embody her father's advice, "Watch them live, don't watch them die." In The Gift of Great Sorrow, we experience a story that moves beyond tragedy to triumph -- not because the tragedy changes, but because of the transforming power of perspective, love, and courage. --- Louise Braun Frank was born in Ottawa, Canada. Raised in a military family with five brothers and sisters, Louise lived in many areas of Canada, in France and finally settled in the Seattle area. Louise's two children, Joshua and Leah were both diagnosed at a young age with Friedreich's Ataxia, a rare, progressive and debilitating terminal disease. Over the course of their short lives, they lost their abilities to walk, see and manage their personal care. But with the help of a determined and committed mother, the children outlived the doctor's predictions and survived into their twenties. In addition to helping her children live their best lives, Louise has built a successful direct sales business with The Pampered Chef and continues with that work today. An advocate for volunteerism, Louise gives her time to the Alaska Washington Make A Wish Foundation and local food banks. Over the years she has been invited as a guest speaker to share her experiences in the hope that others who have suffered trauma and loss of all types, will find a path thru pain to purpose. The Joy Thru Tears Foundation, a non-profit, was founded by Louise in December 2020 with the vision of facilitating workshops to help with healing. www.joythrutears.foundation Louise has also walked the Camino de Santiago in Spain on three different occasions, each time searching for a way to grow spiritually and move forward in her life. She plans to return again.

Book excerpt: Mississippi Life, Serious Growing Pains... This is a true story about: my mom, my dad, my brother, my sisters and I. Growing up in Mississippi in the 50's and 60's wasn't an easy life, to live in Mississippi and to be poor was enough, but to live there with a ton of family problems as time passed, wasn't any fun. This book describes the tears I cried, watching the struggle of my family and witnessing all of the things my mom endowed, while growing up. At an early age, I watched God work out a lot of things for us down in Mississippi; I didn't understand it until later in life. Trying to tell this story, I scribbled these words down on scratch paper for many years. I thank God, It has finally happened! Now, being a Pastor and having my background, I see how God has equipped me for the needs of other in this present time. This book shows: How shedding tears can make one strong, if they will hold on, the sadness you face watching your siblings living and seeing things; not even grown-ups should experience. I wrote this book with much prayer. I pray that God gives hope to those who has none. I'm praying and hoping, this book will show you, the God back down in Mississippi in the 50's and 60's is still alive and is still the same God today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'You are a sorry excuse for a wife. I don't know why I put up with you!' Natalie's heart broke. What was happening to the kind, caring man she had married? After four years of marriage, Natalie's husband, Michael, had transformed into a different person overnight. Plagued with depression, he struggled to regain his normally cheerful and outgoing personality. After the depression came terrifying fits of rage and frenzied behavior that Michael couldn't control and Natalie was helpless to understand. Natalie and Michael did their best to hide the crippling effects Michael's bizarre behavior had on them, but their marriage was flying apart. Eventually, Michael was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Throughout the years that followed the birth of their daughter, Michael fought an internal battle for normalcy, both taking and refusing medication as his mood swings dictated. Eventually, Michael's illness drove him to the point of desperation, devastating his friends and family when they learned of his suicide. In Tears to Joy, Natalie Flake details the tribulations of dealing with mental illness in a loved one. Debunking stigma and presenting practical advice, she offers hope to readers whose loved ones have dealt with mental illness or suicide, and even to those who have struggled with it themselves.
