Closing the Door for the First Time… I shut the door, fell on my knees and cried out to God for strength. I can’t remember how long I cried, and I wasn't sure where Travis would go. My parents told me that I really didn’t love my son, that I was a horrible mother. Even my best friend said, “How could you do that to him?” I knew God’s Word was true and that He would come through for me and my family. I wanted my son to know that God would be there for him. Travis needed to depend on God completely. But for now my tears fell - my heart was broken over my son, who still continued using his drugs. I would have to close the door on my son, but not my heart. Closing the Door, but not my Heart, is a compelling story of tough love and abounding grace that will stir both your heart and your faith to believe anything is possible with God. If you've ever had to hope against hope for your loved one, this book is the encouragement you need!

Having been hospitalized so many times due to Lupus Flares, I was now being rushed in to surgery due to internal bleeding. I couldn’t seem to pray; tremendous fear took over and I found myself afraid of dying. I began to cry and looked for my husband, who had stepped out of the room. Not knowing what to do, I reached for the phone to call my mom and dad for prayer. My mind went blank. I couldn’t seem to remember their phone number. Helpless tears fell down my face. Suddenly, the phone rang; it was my sister. She said, “God told me to call you, Sis. He told me to pray for you.” I was in such need of peace and comfort! She prayed so powerfully and then ended with, “God, please send down your angels to protect my sister, to assure her you are with her right now.” At that very moment I saw a vision of an angel dressed in armor of gold with a scepter in his right hand. He did not say a word to me, but with a strong smile looked down at me in love. That smile was enough to bring me peace that everything was going to be fine.Yvette Salinas was diagnosed with Lupus, a life threatening autoimmune disease that had already claimed the lives of two family members. With Tia Rosa’s gentle reminder to, “Never give up on yourself -and most of all, never give up on our God,” Yvette’s incredible story of healing and God’s unchanging love continues in her life as Faith Leads the Way.

Faith Leads the Way: The Yvette Salinas Story

Salinas, Yvette

How does a woman become a Hurting Mom? Every woman’s story is different, every wayward child, unique. Cathy Taylor’s story of learning to surrender her prodigal child to God while trusting Him to restore her own peace and joy is one that might be familiar to you. Raised in a home where Christianity was the foundation, Cathy found herself wandering far from her faith into a pattern of alcohol abuse and divorce. As she pursued her own selfish lifestyle her children became victims of neglect and by the time she was ready to turn her life around, one of her daughters was not only addicted to drugs, but she was also spinning out of control in other areas of her life. That was when Cathy began to suffer the pain, anxiety, fear, guilt, and shame of being a hurting mom. Although your story may be different than Cathy’s, there are probably many similarities. Maybe your child has overdosed repeatedly on drugs, is estranged from your family, engages in self-harm, has an eating disorder, has pursued an alternative lifestyle, or has even tried to commit suicide. Perhaps you are a Hurting Grandma raising your grandkids because of the dysfunction of your child, or your child is keeping your grandkids away from you. You wrestle with how this has happened in your family and you feel as though it is your fault. No matter what the issue or addiction, you love your child and desire the best for them. But how do you cope with your own heartache? How do you move beyond the daily discouragement that you experience as a hurting mom? Cathy Taylor knows how you feel. As a Celebrate Recovery Ministry Leader and State Representative she has seen the brokenness of those who enable others and struggle with codependency. She knows the importance, and has found freedom in her own recovery, by working through the 12- steps herself. In fact, she is a firm believer in the recovery process, whether it is through Ala-non, Nar-anon, Alcoholics Anonymous, or Celebrate Recovery. Cathy honestly and transparently details her journey in this moving biography as the talks about her battle with hopelessness and depression and then overcoming it all through Jesus Christ. She knew she couldn’t carry the burden alone and she began to seek out other women who were hurting over their children to find support and connection. The hope she found gave her the desire to help other hurting moms. She wrote a curriculum, which has drawn many moms to join her community of support. There are other support groups and ministries that provide recovery and sober living houses, but who helps the moms of children that are addicted or making other poor choices that are destructive and hurtful to themselves and their families? Here, women have found a new way to deal with their broken hearts, as they find freedom from their codependent behavior, the fear of being alone, and the guilt and shame that have kept them isolated. From Broken to Mended is a journey of hope and healing. Join the family and find their warm embrace! A must read!

“…My heart was pounding so loud I could feel the blood pulsing in my ears. Every nerve was on alert. Did I hear someone behind me? I rolled the garbage cans to the curb, like I did every Thursday night in this wealthy town, the only task I did unattended, a brief moment away from the watchful eyes of my captors, those I had been sold a slave to when I was just seven years old in Taiwan. Now was my chance to escape. I bolted, running as fast as I could towards the end of the street and into the car that was waiting for me. Everything I owned I left behind, except the tattered shirt and dirty pants I wore, clothes that reminded me of the life I had been living these past twenty years—a torn and ravaged existence, a victim of human trafficking...” Shari Ho’s incredible story of slavery and survival to inspirational speaker will grip your soul and challenge you to speak up on behalf of the silent ones around you, those who long to say....“My Name is Also Freedom.”

“Hello Mr. Tree. Do you remember me?” Shari whispered. “I was so little when you knew me as a slave, but I just wanted to let you know…I’m free now!” The beauty of Shari’s favorite tree in this parklike surrounding was in stark contrast to this little girl who was once held as a slave. As Shari continued to speak to the tree, I looked up and saw that was cut in the form of a square at the very top. Griped with a new-found sense of God’s providence, I realized the name of my company Square Tree Publishing was no accident—nor the fact that Shari and I had been brought together by God’s design. Sold as a slave when she was only seven years old, Shari Ho’s story became the focus of CNN’s Freedom Project that made headlines all around the world and is chronicled in the book, My Name is Also Freedom.Finding Freedom was Just the Beginning is a behind-the-scenes look at the making of her book. This four-and half-year journey includes the backstories, miracles, and God-stories that happened along the way—amazing stories of God’s providence intersecting with sheer faith —keeping you on the edge of your seat.I pray that these God-stories not only inspire you but give you a greater level of faith for your own life. I know that is what Shari would want for you, too.“What happened in Taiwan left me speechless. What God orchestrated for us—for Shari—blew me away!”Melodie Fox, Author My Name Is Also Freedom“As the interpreter for our team in Taiwan, there were some things you just didn’t need to interpret…like God’s tangible presence in the room.”'Cindy Chang'Chinese Interpreter
