Get Tough or Die
Summary
By the time Barbara was four years old, she already knew what she would have to do: get tough or die.Before DVDs existed, Barbara's childhood trauma was permanently recorded and embedded in her head. Long before "surround sound" technologies were available, she captured all of the sights and sounds of her childhood in vivid detail. To author this book, all she had to do was press “play,” and that scared her because many of those details were not a pretty picture. Some looked more like an old Alfred Hitchcock horror movie. Barbara often wished during her childhood that she was simply playing a part in a movie where a director would yell “cut”, and everything would be okay. Unfortunately, her childhood was no Hollywood movie. It was real life - a situation she was born into and had to endure severe child abuse at the hand of her father, while her mother was too afraid to protect her and her siblings. Now, as an adult, Barbara looks back and knows it was only by the hand of God and many miracles that any of her siblings and she survived at all. Two of their sisters were not so lucky. Some parents used to say, “I brought you into this world, and I can take you out.” Some of them meant it. We had laws to protect animals before we had laws to protect children. We now have the Federal Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act of 1974, and yet, statistics show more than four children are dying every day in the United States from child abuse and neglect. That is more than any other industrialized country. By telling her story, Barbara hopes listeners will be inspired to do whatever they can to help prevent spouse and child abuse.

Strength for the Cancer Journey
Summary
Though the road is long, you don’t have to walk alone. There’s nothing easy about having cancer. For most people, cancer is a hard, reluctant journey through rugged, unfamiliar terrain.

Strength for the Cancer Journey provides empathetic, daily reminders that God is present for anyone facing the challenges of cancer. Each of these 30 devotionals draws upon anecdotes and insights from God’s word to help listeners invite God into the realities, uncertainties, and frustrations of their cancer experience. While cancer is a journey no one wants to take, no one ever has to walk that road alone. This devotional book will help both patients and caregivers to engage deeply with God, gaining new strength for the cancer journey.
