If you are suffering from pain. . .If someone you love is suffering from pain. . .If you'd give anything to be able to overcome that pain, without drugs. . .If you need inspiration from someone who has "been there". . .This book is for you. In 1982, Gari Carter's old life abruptly ended. A headon car crash destroyed much of her face. Ahead were almost ten years of operations that gradually rebuilt her jaws, cheekbones, nose, and gums. Ahead lay months of helplessness, pain, anxiety, and depression. Ahead lay overwhelming fear of pain. But ahead lay much more. Healing Myself is the story of one woman's successful battle to rise above pain and despair. But it's about more than pain. It's about the elation she felt as she gained control of her suffering. It's about the lessons she learned from hard experiencelessons in patience, love, and proper priorities. Perhaps most astoundingly, it's about her discovery of a series of commerciallyproduced audio paincontrol tapes that changed her multiplehour operations from ordeals to be dreaded into challenges to be met calmly and confidentlywithout anesthetics!

Is it possible that the cures for all that ail us can be found within ourselves? The adherents of New Thought thinking of the late 19th century-an early "New Age" movement-believed so, and in this classic book, first published in 1905, an influential New Thought voice details her own experiences with self-healing. In cheerful, friendly language, she explains how she discovered that how her conscious decisions to think and feel a certain way led to those thoughts and feelings coming to pass, and how by "acting as if" led to the actualization of all she desired. This is a provocative and inspiring work that continues to have a powerful impact on readers today, more than a century after it was written. American writer and editor ELIZABETH TOWNE (b.1865) founded Nautilus, the premiere magazine of the New Thought movement. She is also the author of Joy Philosophy (1903), Happiness and Marriage (1904), and Lessons in Living (1910).

Healing Myself, One Rhyme at a Time presents a collection of poetry by Donna Sivoli. She began writing as a small girl when she discovered that it wasn't easy to express her thoughts and feelings in her childhood home. Instead, she wrote notes and buried them in the backyard, only to dig them up later. As an adult, she began writing poetry and stories as a sort of self-therapy in an attempt to heal herself from a dysfunctional and abusive childhood. In these verses, she writes about family and her early love for her older brother, and how that love was destroyed through betrayal and all the other emotional ups and downs of growing up in a dysfunctional family, especially the hurt and the confusion when things are not as they appear to be. ""Healing Myself, One Rhyme at a Time is a memoir in poem and story ... a hero's journey that inspires us to find our way to healing and wholeness. ... It is raw, it is honest, it is love." -Shelley Morningsong, singer/songwriter

Raised by a single mother and a product of the Rion Lane housing project in Cincinnati, Ohio, author Stephen E. Hooks narrates both his memories and his discoveries as he struggled throughout the course of his life to establish his identity as an African American man. Before I Loved Her, I Healed Myself reveals Hooks's challenging childhood growing up without a strong male role model, the compelling influence of the women in his life (including his mother and grandmother), his foray into drug trafficking, and his playboy lifestyle. It exposes the deepest wounds he acquired on his life's journey and examines his quest to find the meaning of manhood. This memoir presents one man's chronicle of self-discovery in the process of finding love and purpose in life; it's story about pain, healing, restoration, and redemption. Via Hooks's emotional story, Before I Loved Her, I Healed Myself shows that transformation and personal growth are possible.
