The deep end of hope in the wake of Hurrican Helene : 40 days and nights of survival and transformation / by Churchman, Emma M.,author.;

"Imagine being cut off from the world, perched atop a mountain turned into a deadly flood zone by Hurricane Helene's fury. For Emma Churchman and her husband Jeff, this nightmare became reality in September 2024. For three harrowing days, their loved ones had no idea if they were alive. But surviving was just the beginning. When they finally fought their way down three miles of treacherous terrain, they found their small mountain community of Gerton, NC transformed. Without power, phones, or internet, their neighborhood teetered between chaos and unity. As lawlessness emerged and desperation mounted, Emma made a choice that would change everything: to transform her fear into a fierce kind of love. With raw honesty and unexpected humor, Emma chronicles her role as a trauma chaplain in a community forced to build itself anew. Her powerful mantra becomes a lifeline not just for her, but for an entire community learning to trust again. "I am safe. I am warm. I am fed. I am loved." Part survival story, part love letter to human resilience, this unforgettable memoir shows us what's possible when crisis strips away our differences and reveals our shared humanity. In a world increasingly divided, Emma's story reminds us that our greatest strength lies not in our independence, but in our connections to each other" --

The most beautiful disaster : how God makes miracles out of our mistakes / by Carpenter, Hope,author.;

Includes bibliographical references (page 223).It's time to get real -- Back to the beginning -- Who do you say I am? -- Don't just suck it up, buttercup -- Knock, knock -- The breeding ground for miracles -- Forgiveness from every angle -- Trust: how to give and receive trust -- Can you really be free? -- Living out loud."Hope Carpenter nearly destroyed her family, her church, and her ministry by living a double life, but then God did something miraculous. Out of her brokenness, He made something beautiful. As co-pastor of one of the nation's largest megachurches, Hope Carpenter had perfected the roles of supportive wife, good mother, devoted worship leader, and dutiful homemaker. But inside, she was secretly ashamed, sad, and afraid. She didn't know who she was, and she didn't know how to ask for help without bringing down the whole façade. A series of bad choices led to multiple affairs; her husband kicked her out and announced from the pulpit of their church that their marriage was over. Hope was sure her life was done. But in her lowest moments, something beautiful happened. God met her there, and, with a lot of hard work, time, and mountains of therapy, she started to understand the pain that had caused her to act out. She and her family faced their brokenness together, and in powerful acts of forgiveness only God could have arranged, they all found real breakthrough and healing. Ron and Hope rebuilt their marriage and their family, and their ministry thrives today. In The Most Beautiful Disaster, Hope helps readers understand the lasting impact of childhood trauma and gives readers practical steps to uncovering the root of pain in their own lives. She shows how small decisions can lead to big changes, and helps readers find healing and wholeness in Scripture and prayer. Ultimately, readers will be led to hope, reconciliation, and true freedom"--
