During the past 56 years Mary has either witnessed, been part of, or has been on the receiving end of abuse. Many of us experience abuse at one way or another in their lifetime. In fact, some have become co-dependent during the abuse period for fear of their life. Others have died and left this type of environment and are still is the process of healing. Abuse happens at various levels. The key is to recognize it and act on it no matter what happens. As many of us were growing up we have learned through the test of time that abuse of any kind is wrong and should not be tolerated. "No Man or Woman should be a victim or an abuser." "Everyone should be treated equally." The Bible teaches that; "We should treat others as we would want to be treated." What you are about to read talks about psychical, psychological, verbal, and emotional abuse at various levels. Some of the stories discussed are long term, experienced, and others were witnessed. There even are times when the parties involved became active participants and become abusers themselves. Many of us grew up believing that woman should be subordinate to men. The Bible also teaches this idea. The difference is there are no teachings that teach about it being okay to abuse one another. The Bible does teach us to; "Love our neighbor as ourselves." By: PJ (Author 1998)

This book is an example of what could happen when someone gets a latent stage of cancer and learns to deal with it while going through chemotherapy and radiation treatments. The story time line is completely true and talks about real emotions, fears, and problems being faced through the healing process with their rewards. It even gives examples of both in various chapters. Again Ms Anderson has taken her cleverness of combining her short stories to tell a larger story in this book. This is her third real try at telling her stories and this one is about a cancer survival story, so she hopes to keep your attention. Ms Anderson chose to write this book as a first person and changed her name to Carla instead of using her real name Paula Jean or PJ. She felt that if the story was told as a first person that the reader will be drawn into the story and possibly experience some of the emotions, fears, and problems that she faced while going through actual cancer treatments. What you are about to read this book will seem familiar in many ways because Ms Anderson had shared similar ideals in her past books. There are many of us grew up believing that woman should be subordinate to men and that marriage should be taken seriously. The Bible also teaches this idea. In Jeremiah 3:8 the prophet talks about being allowed to divorce under the circumstances of adultery. Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew 19 verifies this premise. On Impulse, Carla commits adultery and was caught up in her sin. In fact, the person that she committed adultery with had already tried to kill herself in the past by overdosing on alcohol, smoking cigarettes, drugs, and marijuana. This all caused her to suffer a severe anxiety disorder and major depression at an early age of 42 years old. After some time she completely stopped her interactions with him, her life started to change for the better. She was able to live a less stressful life. The problem is she would be by herself. She would continue to make many financial mistakes and decisions through being impulsive. In hindsight Carla would regret some of these decisions, but in the long run would learn to accept these mistakes and chalk them up to growing pains and experience. Carla was rewarded for her faithfulness. She continued to work as a Registered Nurse with the Texas state hospital system was placed in charge as a Charge Nurse during the night shift on an acute psychiatric unit. Due to her returning to work to soon, she couldn’t accept this position and ended up working on a Geriatric Medical unit. While working on this unit she is finding some peace and solitude. She even has been excelling in her position and has been allowing herself to grow as a stronger nurse. Because she wants to be the best nurse possible for the clients that she cares for, she tends to be an overachiever and does more that her peers mainly without being asked to do so. Carla still is impulsive because she tends to end up being in the middle of conflicts and does continue to say some things that she doesn’t mean. Sometimes these conflicts cause Carla and her peers to become hurt emotionally and psychologically. During the Diagnosis Process, Carla finds out that she does have a severe medical problems with her other difficulties. This problem was found purely by accident when she was riding on a motorcycle ride with a few friends to Austin, Texas for The Republic of Texas Bike Fest. During this ride (which she lead), she completely almost passed out. Part of this was due to the heat, but the rest was related to a medical problems that she wasn’t aware of at the time. Carla did survive this event with no further complications. Shortly after this event, Carla had a lump the size of a small baseball on the left side of her neck. She had just had her lower teeth removed due to a potential abscess and had just finished up a 10 day round of antibiotics. Because this lump was starting to affect her swallowing and

This book as several other books that Ms. Anderson or (PJ) has written in the past is another true story. It discusses how PJ and others like her have become individuals that think about others before they think about their selves. In a sense this is wearing your “Heart on your sleeve.” Living like this causes an individual to live other roles as, hero, heroin, and yes if they aren’t strong enough they can become a victim to others. Those that believe in the Bible know that it teaches us some great concepts that should be followed even today. I’m sharing many of these below with you so that you can get an understanding of what the Bible teaches on this topic. Here are just ten verses on the topic. Do for others what you want them to do for you. This is the teaching of the laws of Moses in a nutshell.”(Mat 7:12 TLB) Jesus replied, "The one that says, ´Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is the one and only God. And you must love him with all your heart and soul and mind and strength.(Mark 12:29-31 TLB) The second is: You must love others as much as yourself. No other commandments are greater than these."(Luke 9:48 TLB) And Jesus said to them, Anyone who takes care of a little child like this is caring for me! And whoever cares for me is caring for God who sent me. Your care for others is the measure of your greatness."(Acts 9:36 TLB) In the city of Joppa there was a woman named Dorcas (“Gazelle"), a believer who was always doing kind things for others, especially for the poor. This woman Dorcas became very ill and was dying. Her neighbors, friends, and family wept for her. When Peter heard of the illness of this wonderful woman, he asked the mourners to leave. He prayed over her and when he asked her to rise up she was able to do so under her own accord. When this happened, Peter presenter her back to those who mourned for her.(Eph. 5:2 TLB) Be full of love for others, following the example of Christ who loved you and gave himself to God as a sacrifice to take away your sins. And God was pleased, for Christ´s love for you was like sweet perfume to him.(Col 1:9 TLB) So ever since we first heard about you we have kept on praying and asking God to help you understand what he wants you to do; asking him to make you wise about spiritual things;(Col 1:10 TLB) ...asking that the way you live will always please the Lord and honor him, so that you will always be doing good, kind things for others, while all the time you are learning to know God better and better.(Titus 2:14 TLB) He (Jesus) died under God´s judgment against our sins so that he could rescue us from constant falling into sin and make us his very own people, with cleansed hearts and real enthusiasm for doing kind things for others.(Jude 1:23 TLB) Save some by snatching them as from the very flames of hell itself. And as for others, help them to find the Lord by being kind to them, but be careful that you yourselves aren´t pulled along into their sins. Hate every trace of their sin while being merciful to them as sinners. Do to her as she has done to you, and more--give double penalty for all her evil deeds. She brewed many a cup of woe for others--give twice as much to her.(Rev 18:6 TLB) So as you can see from the above Bible verses there are many guidelines for helping others outlined and being a Christian the Bible is an awesome book of life. There are many more verses covering this topic of helping others. These I’m going to leave for the reader to explore further. There are many thoughtful word shared from experience and time written in this book. I hope that you enjoy what you read.
