Freedom of Angels - Childhood in Goldenbridge Orphanage

Bernadette Fahy

Beschreibung

'I entered Goldenbridge orphanage in my Communion outfit. I had absolutely no idea what I was doing there.'At age seven, Bernadette Fahy was delivered with her three brothers to Goldenbridge Orphanage. She was to stay there until she was sixteen.
Goldenbridge has come to represent some of the worst aspects of childrearing practices in Ireland of the 1950s and 1960s. Seen as the offspring of people who had strayed from social respectability and religious standards, these children were made to pay for the 'sins' of their parents. Bernadette tells of the pain, fear, hunger, hard labour and isolation experienced in the orphanage.
Can a person recover from such a childhood? How does the spirit ever take flight -- and gain the 'freedom of angels'?
This is Bernadette Fahy's concern. Now trained and working as a counsellor, she has had to dig deeply into her past to understand the patterns laid down by her upbringing. She has had to rebuild her life, and now she helps others to do the same.
This book is a story of triumph over the harshest of circumstances.

After All: A...

Joel Holland

It's been said that one cannot write well if he does not read well, and Joel Holland reads well. The collection draws inspiration from dozens of poets and hundreds of stories accumulated in thoughts and journals from Holland's first 22 years of living. Ever-present through the collection is Holland's advice, ultimately to himself, to let these stories orient him toward an intentional present. Through the celebration of life and the heartache of its inevitable end, Holland vulnerably lets the reader know of his own deep need for a Savior and how that Savior helps him to see others' stories as real and meaningful. 
In just the first line of the collection, Holland tells of how he collects stories that stir his heart and it is evident throughout that he allows them change his heart through pondering, journaling, and prayer. The title After All may seem arrogant for a 22-year-old's poetry collection, but the collection serves as an earnest attempt to tell others' stories. Through grandparents' wisdom, roommates' heartbreak, and other poets' eye for beauty, Holland writes of wisdom he's still learning to apply through the lense of those about whom he cares most deeply. After All is, ironically, an admission of ignorance and a call to listen and to understand.

Unkind Mind - The Neuroscience...

PhD Betsy Holmberg

Does it ever feel like there's a hypercritical, negative voice inside your head, telling you that you aren't good enough, pretty enough, smart enough, or worthy of success or love? Negative self-talk is all too common, especially for women. This inner critic originally served an important evolutionary purpose—to ensure survival. The problem is, this voice can be difficult to "switch off," leading to anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. So, how can you move past negative self-talk and start living with confidence? 
 
 
 
Written by a psychologist and expert in negative thinking, this book shines a light on where your hypercritical inner voice comes from—a deeply rooted survival mechanism in the brain called the default mode network (DMN). Using powerful skills drawn from neuroscience, you'll learn how to flip the switch on your unkind mind, so you can move past self-critical thoughts, increase self-compassion, and decrease feelings of shame, guilt, regret, and inadequacy. 
 
 
  
Once you understand where your inner critic comes from, you'll feel more empowered to tune it out, focus on your true inner voice instead, and get back to living your life with all the courage and confidence needed to thrive. This book will help guide you, step by step.
