Determined Means: Going from Victim to Victor speaks about demeaning and abusive behaviors in all environments and in all walks of life as it relates to all types of abuse. This book addresses the habits and mindsets of the victim, as well as the characteristics and habits of the abuser. In outlining the process of healing, the mindset and determination of the victim to survive and be successful through practicing safe measures and God’s Word are emphasized along with what “in our nature” causes us to sin. This book instructs us as individuals how to endure trauma and embrace healing and safety measures. As with any victim, they realize it becomes increasingly more difficult to trust others and hold on to sanity during times of great suffering, pain and abuse. We begin to doubt our self worth, allow others to dictate everything to us, value other peoples’ opinion over our own. These are just a few of the issues we wrestle with daily in the complexity of abuse. I struggled with all of these issues most of my life. One human being should never have control over another, especially in unhealthy ways. This book distinguishes the difference between healthy and unhealthy relationships, habits and boundaries and why we need to put them into place. These are the most significant barriers to healthy relationships and without them often give the perpetrator “mixed signals”. We can do all we can and still experience tragedy. As you read this book and learn the “Psychology” of our existence and creation, you will understand the need for this “real life safety net” pertinent to your life as a whole.

Black Americans are constantly lied to about the source of their community's issues in an effort to profit off their pain and to make sure that they never leave the mindset of the victim. In order to move forward in American society, black people must be critical of all sectors of black culture and the people that profit off the mainstream black victim messaging. I believe that with honesty, love, ownership and responsibility, black Americans can leave behind the victim mentality for the truly empowering victor mindset. Once victor-hood is embraced, we can achieve a more peaceful union with the rest of American society and stop accepting conflict within the black community as a normality.

Victors & Victims unveils the truth that people who find success and joy in life are those who know who they are and give it, versus those who know what they want and take it. Success in life comes in many different forms. Profitable careers and businesses come to mind, but what about happy marriages, well-raised kids, loyal friendships? Success, no matter what its form, has the same foundations. Mastering them means mastering life. We all have different core passions. Some cry for freedom, some for security; some dwell on the past and some on the future. Our core passions dictate how we communicate and what messages and beliefs we listen to and follow. When you understand your own core passions as well as those of the people around you, you can communicate successfully and form powerful relationships filled with joy and promise. And how you understand yourself, God, and your passions will determine whether you live your life as a victim (always wanting and taking more), or a victor (joyously giving more, thus receiving more). In this book, Ken Harrison draws from his powerful experiences fighting violent criminals as a police officer in Los Angeles, running and selling international companies, and his 24-year marriage to his high school sweetheart in order to give the keys to turning ambition into success.

Life is a journey filled with twists and turns, highs and lows, moments of joy and seasons of sorrow. Along the way, we encounter moments that leave us breathless with wonder and awe, as well as moments that leave us shattered and bewildered. It is in these moments of disappointment and disillusionment that we are faced with a choice - to succumb to despair or to rise with resilience. In this book, "Embracing Divine Appointments," we embark on a journey of exploration and discovery into the depths of the human experience. Guided by the wisdom and insight of Lysa TerKeurst, we delve into the heart of disappointment, uncovering its transformative power and its potential to lead us closer to the divine. Through poignant stories, practical wisdom, and profound insights, we learn to navigate the turbulent waters of disappointment with grace and courage. We come to understand that disappointment is not the end of the road, but rather a doorway to growth and renewal. It is through our struggles and setbacks that we are refined, that we discover the depth of our resilience and the boundlessness of our faith. Throughout these pages, we will journey together through the valleys of grief and loss, the wilderness of doubt and questioning, and the storms of uncertainty and fear. Yet, amidst the darkness, we will discover rays of hope shining through, illuminating the path ahead and guiding us toward a brighter tomorrow. Together, we will learn to embrace disappointment as a divine appointment - a sacred invitation to encounter God in the midst of life's unexpected turns. We will discover that even in our darkest moments, we are never alone, for the divine presence is with us, guiding us, sustaining us, and leading us toward a future filled with hope and promise. So, dear reader, I invite you to embark on this journey with an open heart and a willing spirit. May these pages be a source of comfort and encouragement to you as you navigate the ups and downs of life's journey. May you find strength and solace in the midst of disappointment, and may you emerge from the darkness with a renewed sense of purpose and a deeper faith in the goodness of God.

Originally published in 1960, this book was written to provide an accessible account regarding the essentials of Christian theology, avoiding an overly technical approach whilst also steering clear of superficiality. Comprehensive in scope, the text illuminates concepts such as the revelation of the Eternal in historic time; the problem of evil; the divine victory over Satan; the 'once for all' uniqueness of Christ's passion and victory; the sacraments as the body of Christ; death and destiny; the resurrection of the body; the 'end' of history. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in perspectives on Christianity and theology.

This book demonstrates that drama is not only a metaphor for everyday life, but also provides a means of self-examination and life enhancement. Asserting that emotional well-being depends upon an individual's capacity to manage a complex and often contradictory set of roles, the author shows how role offers a uniquely effective method for working through significant personal problems when used as an element of drama therapy. The volume combines theoretical discussions with extensive clinical illustrations, and covers issues including learning to live with role ambivalence, complexity, and contradiction.
