Rare is the person who has never been betrayed. It is a near-universal human experience. In The Judas Kiss: Growing Beyond Betrayal, family therapist and leadership development consultant John Brownlee draws on his clinical expertise to show us how we can overcome our pain and begin to heal. In this practical, common-sense book, he also teaches us how to spot betrayers sooner the next time—because there will be a next time. Brownlee goes deep into the multigenerational aspects of betrayal, touching on both its roots in our ancestors and its impact on our children and grandchildren. He offers hope and useful suggestions to help us soften potentially harmful effects on the family so future generations don’t repeat damaging patterns. His no-nonsense approach is nonetheless laced with compassion as he encourages us to face difficult truths in order to move forward.

Turn Betrayal into Blessing! There are few pains that cut deeper than a betrayal. Betrayals hurt, they can be difficult to process, and they often don’t make sense. Betrayals, whether big or small, are a part of life. And perhaps nothing in life is more painful than when someone close to you treats you like an enemy. Jesus knew this pain well, for He suffered the most horrific betrayal in human history at the hands of Judas. But then He did what only God could do: He showed us the way to turn betrayal into blessing. In Thank You, Judas: How to Beat Betrayal, you will explore Judas’s betrayal of Jesus and learn: • The five behaviors of betrayal: pride, jealousy, operating within an inverted value system, selfishness, and being fake • How to walk in healing and victory after suffering a betrayal • Steps for turning a betrayal into an unforgettable blessing “We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose” (Romans 8:28, NIV). Turn your most difficult test into a dynamic story, your greatest loss into your greatest gain, and your most painful heartbreak into your most powerful breakthrough with Thank You, Judas. www.HopeCityMKE.com Twitter: @tylrebutler @hopecitymke Instagram: @tylrebutler @hopecitymke

A bold account of the development of human consciousness and spirituality over the ages and an examination of the dynamic global transformation of attitudes about healing. For more than fifteen years, Caroline Myss has studied why some people heal, while others do not. In her previous book, Anatomy of the Spirit, Dr. Myss illuminated the hidden interactions of belief and body, soul and cell to show how, as she inimitably puts it, "your biography becomes your biology." In Why People Don't Heal and How They Can, she builds on her earlier teachings of the seven different energy centers of the body to provide a vital self-healing program for physical and spiritual disorders. With her characteristic no-nonsense style and high-voltage storytelling, she exposes and explodes the five myths about healing, explains the cultural and individual contexts in which people become physically and spiritually ill and invested in "woundology," and teaches new methods of working with the challenges that the seven energy centers embody. To help you get and stay on the path to wellness, Dr. Myss provides rituals and prayers for gaining a symbolic perspective on your life issues; for bolstering your personal power; and for connecting with a universal divine energy. Dr. Myss's breakthrough views on energy medicine and her active approach to healing life issues and physical illness will help you overcome the mental blocks that keep you from becoming well.

For the church fathers the Gospels did not serve as resources for individual analysis and academic study. They were read and heard and interpreted within the worshiping community. Among such sermons on Luke that have survived, this ACCS volume includes selections from Origen and Cyril of Alexandria as well as church fathers who addressed exegetical issues in theological treatises, pastoral letters, and catechetical lectures.
