The Albuquerque Affliction

Deo Volente Publishing, 2008

Rick Morales was born in the right place at the wrong time. His rigid moral code and yen for simplicity are better suited for the old west of one hundred and fifty years ago than the high-tech, politically correct world he inhabits. He has built a successful business by providing security services to the Government agencies and contractors along the Rio Grande corridor, but he still feels more comfortable on horseback in the New Mexico ...

A Shining Affliction: A Story of Harm and Healing in Psychotherapy

13 reviews
Annie G. Rogers

Penguin (Non-Classics), 1996

a strong memoir
At its best it reminded me strongly of I Never Promised You A Rose Garden, in that it shows the healing relationship between an excellent therapist and a disturbed female patient. This book had the added benefit of having the patient/author also be a therapist, and while being healed herself doing a marvelous job of participating in the healing of a young boy whose problems are remarkably ...

Daily Afflictions: The Agony of Being Connected to Everything in the Universe

Andrew Boyd

W. W. Norton & Company, 2002

Ruthless and wonderful
A playful, selfless and honest look at many different kinds of obstacles and sources of fear in our lives. What's amazing is how quickly (in terms of words per subject) but thought-provokingly he treats each of his rather quirky ideas. This book is unbelievably approachable and readable a chapter (i.e. 200 words) at a time. That it is deep, builds on itself and is witty and fun... It's my ...

Russell Banks

Harper Perennial, 1990

A haunting look at ones mans deteriorating sanity...
I can only conclude after finishing `Affliction' that Russell Banks is our greatest American author. Those were my feelings after reading this for the first time, but after my second time through the book my feelings are confirmed. I remember reading `The Sweet Hereafter' (probably Banks' finest novel) and feeling this overwhelming connection to the material, the characters and the author ...

Edith, Schaeffer

Baker Books, 1993

Required Reading for believers
I would like to encourage all Christians and non-Christians alike who have an opportunity to read this book to do so, and then use the lessons/encouragements/exhortations of Edith Schaeffer to be salt and light in the world we live in. If I could recommend only 1 book to someone to read to prepare them for the life we face on this earth(other than the Bible, of course)and to help equip ...

Samiko Alexander

PublishAmerica, 2006

Seed of Affliction is a book based on my childhood and some of my adult life. This book talks about the afflictions that I faced throughout my life, but it also talks about the afflictions of depression, and so many other afflictions that people don?t understand that they?re dealing with in life. I often say that we are born into affliction because we are born into sin. Reason being, when you?re born into sin, you?re coming into a world of the ...
