relationships built on unconditional love.
Enlightening and on-point, this self-discovery and
relationship guide clarifies the difference between
love and lust; love and unconditional love, and it asks

to sustain relationships? Is it possible to love
unconditionally? And, do styles of love affect an

love? In eleven mind-blowing and inspiring chapters, the

guarded hearts and fear to a place where unconditional
love enables them to forgive others and demonstrate

without Limits.” He instructs readers to look at their
self-preserving mindsets and behaviors objectively and
learn to identify thoughts and actions that inhibit or
prevent them from giving and receiving unconditional
love. Here it is, giving and receiving unconditional
love is only possible if each of us learns to love as
God loves us.

informative. Here it is, the truth that each of us is a
part of history and each of us has an opportunity to
make history.

Overcoming Depression from Emotional Abuse By: Shayne E. North and Lori A. North
Code:ODFEA-PB Price:
$16.95
Quantity in Basket: none
ISBN: 978-1-59824-756-5 Edition: Paperback, 267 Pages Publication Date: January 9, 2008 | The Tools of Your Mind
If you have ever felt overwhelmed by depression and did
not know where to turn, this book is for you. For many
of us, life’s early experiences have left us shaken, and
our spirit broken. We will always ask, ‘Am I good
enough?’ For men it may be ‘Am I man enough?’ and for
women it may be ‘Am I pretty enough?’ and for all of us
it will be, ‘Will others like me and seek me for who I
am?’ This question arises from an emptiness that we
cannot seem to fill. Tragically, we may also feel guilt
as well for letting others down. You may have felt the
pain of watching, ignored on the sidelines while others
played sports, danced at school dances, or received
attention from our parents. The cause may be one tragic
event for which we have never been able to recover, or
it may be deeper, from terrible lies we learned about
ourselves in early childhood. Whatever your reasons are
for your emotional trauma, there is an answer. You have
not disappointed anyone, and God is very proud of you
just as you are! We will show you where to find the
beauty and excitement within, which you deserve to find.
Emotional difficulties arise from different causes, but
the same purpose, and that is God is trying to tell you
how beautiful you really are! If abuse from your past is
keeping you from fulfillment today, we will explain why
it happened and how God intends for it to lead you to
your happiness, not away from it. We will show you the
powers inside yourself God want you to discover. You
are only half way through coming home to yourself. God
sent you into this world as his promise, his
possibility, and his gift, to somewhere. That means you
have a destination yet to find. That promise and that
possibility that you are, still exists in all its glory
within you. All that for which you seek, whether it is
for love from a spouse, or it is for financial stability
and to own your own home, or just to be a mother, is all
yet to come! You will not find that answer by looking
out into the world, but by looking at the Wonder within
your own heart. You do not need forgiveness from God, or
a seminar and some executive’s insider secrets, or
approval from your parents to feel okay and be a
success. All you need is your forgiveness and the
insider secrets you already have deep within you. When
it comes to overcoming life’s obstacles and achieving
happiness, the spiritual weapon of choice is your self.
You are a statement of beauty that God proudly wishes
all creation to see. You are an answer God sends to
someone’s prayer, and a supply to someone’s need. You
already have your answers inside, and what are in this
book are the keys to unlock the treasure within
yourself!
What we are searching for is
‘The One Who is Looking.’
