Download Make a Choice: When You Are at the Intersection of Happiness and Despair AudioBook Free
Extraordinary stories of men and women who've survived life's most heart-wrenching tragedies and whose Religious faith has remained unshakable. New York Times best-selling publisher Jeff Benedict has seen both good and bad in his profession as a journalist. Among the better are the astonishing people he has met who've made deliberate choices to live more content lives despite the extreme hardship that each of them has experienced. Although life will knock us down every once in awhile, this book is an important reminder that we all can make a choice to reunite up, brush ourselves off, and keep pressing ahead. "Each of us will find ourselves at the intersection of joy and despair. And when that day comes, there are choices we can make that will help us change and walk down the street called Enjoyment," says the author. From choosing to forgive to choosing to serve others to choosing to pray, the seven true reports that Jeff shares illustrate the energy within each of us to choose to live a more content, more numerous life. Stories include:
- A hubby who lost his wife whenever a young young man inadvertently drawn the trigger of a loaded shotgun
- A waitress who nearly drowned after being swept away in a raging flood
- A daddy who lost his one-year-old child to a uncommon disease
- A female lost at sea throughout a harrowing storm
- A man who was simply brutally beaten but who thought we would forgive his attacker
- A mom whose home was demolished by way of a tornado, whose hubby was diagnosed with cancer tumor, and whose nine-year-old child has undergone nearly 100 surgeries
- A father hoping to raise his family in a neighborhood often targeted by gang customers
