Treasure falls for Pain, a street nigga who lives by the motto ‘Get rich or die hustlin’. Pain is nothing like any of the bad boys that she’s dated before. He’s a gentlemanly thug that knows how to treat a lady in between the sheets and in the streets. This relationship is like a dream come true for Treasure. That’s until one night of infidelity turns the couple’s world upside down and sends it spiraling out of control. Will Treasure forgive Pain for his cheating? Or will his one-night stand bring their relationship to an end.

And I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places. Isaiah 45:3 In this inspiring, true story, Dr. Taffy Anderson illuminates the treasures of darkness she gathered while fighting--and surviving--breast cancer. Both a medical and spiritual journey of her experience, Treasures in Darkness traces her journey from a OB/GYN at a major medical hospital who learns of her older sister's diagnosis with breast cancer, to her own shocking diagnosis three years later, through painful surgery, chemo threatments, and coming face-to-face with death. Along the way, she learns to submit to the sovereign will of God, draw strength from His presence and cherish each day of life.

The strongest believer’s faith can be shaken when faced with tragedy or even disappointment. Bishop Larry Brandon faced this himself when his oldest son, Brandon, was killed. Here he shares his own struggle, pain, and eventual victory in Christ. While it appeared to the world that he was doing well, inside his heart and faith were broken. Only someone who has faced the subtle crumbling and nagging doubts can speak with authority to the pain that readers face in such dark times. Treasures in the Darkness also turns to the scripture to show how people like Abram, Sarai, David and others who loved God stumbled when their faith was put to the test. Through the text, the reader will gain spiritual understanding to help stay in faith while getting practical tools to help deal with and overcome private pain, whatever it may be. “Treasures in the Darkness” covers topics such as how to avoid masking one's pain, how to deal with frustration, assumption and presumption, coming through the grief process (the root of private pain), seeing our situation through the eyes of faith, discovering the "hidden treasure" in our pain, and more.

Even for devout Christians who deal with pain, life can still be a struggle. Many ask, “Isn’t God supposed to help me?” Many come to doubt their faith because of how they physically feel. This book answers two questions: First, how do we, as Christians, respond spiritually to chronic pain? And then, what is our response to treat that pain? By putting our faith in the center of any treatment plan, one can use the tools around them to alleviate much of their pain. By combining the realm of God’s spiritual gifts with the best science can offer, a comprehensive treatment plan for pain can bring both understanding and relief. A better tomorrow can be had.

Sometimes the most valuable treasures are found in the darkest of times. In fact, it's often in the very heart of our deepest pain and struggle that God chooses to reveal his most precious gifts. Let Katherine Wolf lead you in finding the hope God has for you in your most painful places. In our lowest, most difficult moments, it's often impossible to see any good thing around us. We suffer, we struggle, we grow weary. We wonder, Is God at work in my life? Is he near me? Is there any point to my suffering and any hope for change? Though it's easy for our overwhelming pain to cloud our view of reality, the truth is that, even though we can’t see it or feel it, God is at work in the darkness. Our Creator is in the business of bringing dead—and nearly dead—things to life. Even now, no matter how fresh your wounds might be, he invites you to unearth his hidden treasures in your hurting, to reframe your darkness as a sacred space in which the light of hope can shine most brilliantly. Come join Katherine Wolf as she vulnerably shares her own places of wounding and the life-changing insights she has found there. Treasures in the Dark will guide you as you find grace for the heartbreak of unmet expectations; explore the surprising intersection of pain and purpose; wholeheartedly embrace the life you never imagined living with perseverance and joy; and recognize how your healing can be a part of the world's healing. With her vibrant faith and unique perspective on life as a stroke survivor and person living with significant disabilities, Katherine will inspire, encourage, and strengthen tender and hurting hearts.

This book is a credit to Jesus Christ, who sustained the author through repeated and prolonged abuses of unmentionable proportions for several decades. the #1 purpose of this book is to glorify Jesus who is the Great Physician of impossible shatters, abuse, and heart-shreds, even amid emotional comatose and poly-fragmented dissociation. the #2 purpose of the book is to identify with the broken, rejected, and abused and to commend you all for your strength and survival. It is written as a voice for all the survivors of abuse and for those who may be currently trapped as a victim. It is written as a source of inspiration to offer hope to those who are on the healing journey, or desire to begin this journey to hope, healing, and freedom. the #3 purpose of the book is as a resource for those who are open-minded enough to be willing to learn how to understand and help the broken and abused and receive a deeper comprehension of the realities they face. We cannot correctly represent Jesus if we cannot see the abused and brokenhearted through His eyes and heart. When we truly see them through His heart and eyes, we will be propelled into compassionate action just as Jesus was. This book addresses and gives hope for abuse issues and aftermath on every level that many may prefer to shove under the carpet. This includes not only the various abuses out there but some of the aftermath such as extreme emotional agony, suicide, dissociation, rejection, PTSD, and satanic bondage. the enemy of our soul loves darkness and delights to feed on the unresolved anguish and footholds that are buried in his closets. With God's help, the enemy and his tactics must be exposed and those whom he has wounded and/or holds captive must be freed, for he is defeated through the blood of the Great Physician, Jesus Christ!
