How To Recover From Parental Malpractice

You're Only 30 Days Away From Healing Your Damaged Soul

That's how long it takes to complete all the steps in this inner healing guide and see results. Learn how to:

Identify What Effect Bad Parenting Has Had On Your Life

In 2010 there were over 900,000 cases of child abuse reported to authorities in the United States and 1560 children died as a direct result of that abuse. It is estimated that by the time we reach age 21 some 100 million Americans have to some degree experienced debilitating parental rejection, and most of us take those feelings, and their life limiting consequences, to the grave. Changes in family structure brought on by shifting social norms and belt tightening economic realities make it increasingly difficult for parents to connect with and nurture their children. America stealthily has become a nation of people feeling a deeply rooted sense of loss and abandonment because we have missed and are missing our parents. The resultant pathology is sobering: according to the Centers for Disease Control and the National Principals' Association Report:

85% of all school kids exhibiting behavioral disorders are prejects.
71% of all high school dropouts are prejects.

And according to the U.S. Department of Justice
85% of all youth offenders are prejects.

Whether you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth and raised by nannies or discarded in dumpsters and passed through the foster care system, my unique, proprietary Preject Self-Assessment will help you to identify the level of soul damage your parental relationships have produced in your life. I also reveal the 6 components of preject syndrome and the 7 A's of parenting that every child needs (but few receive) from their parents in order to feel whole and achieve balance, purpose, and productivity in adulthood.

Process Those Feelings Of Rejection And Get Over Them Forever

As families become more fractured and distant, and children become more pathologically impacted by this alienation, the question begs an answer, "how do we help the millions beset by parental rejection to acquire what they have missed from their parents, heal their brokenness, and achieve their God ordained destiny?" I wrote this book as a cathartic response to that question. Using the revelation given to me by the Holy Spirit as I sought to overcome my own feelings of rejection and alienation from my parents and build a meaningful life for myself, I teach you how to overcome the debilitating effects of parental rejection and break through to greater success in every area of your life by leading you through the Five G.R.A.C.E. Steps™, the unique, proven, biblical method to soul repair I have been sharing with a growing audience. This book guides you through the steps to:

Grieve fully
Release completely
Accept totally
Comfort effectively
Establish permanently

Be The Parent You Always Wanted Your Parents To Be

Not only does this book train parents, church leaders, and teachers to help prejects overcome the effects of parental rejection and empower themselves to heal from their feelings of parental rejection and break through their inner ceilings to greater success, but it also equips parents, church leaders, and teachers with the attitudes and skills to create affirming households, fellowships, and classrooms insulated against parental rejection. You will learn how not to pass on to your own children the negative, limiting, and painful experiences that were passed on to you. I share 40 parenting skills that will help you to create the family environment you always wanted for yourself but was powerless to produce.

Yo, Pastor! Controversial Biblical Advice for 70 Contemporary Dilemmas May 29, 2012

by Earl Middleton

( 1 )

$2.99

Yo, Pastor! is a spiritual media solution providing bible-based edutainment designed to both feed your faith and satisfy your soul. Move over Ann Landers, Yo, Pastor! is in the house.

Ten years ago, A. Jesus Wrighter set out to establish a church splant (the lethal, oxymoronic combination of a church split and a new church plant) in Inglewood, CA. In his efforts to develop the spiritual maturity of the congregation he looked for a way to engage the membership in thoughtful reflection about the Christian lifestyle issues of the day without clubbing them over the head with a long list of does and don'ts. This was the soil into which the Holy Spirit tossed the seed for a no holds barred Christian advice column run weekly in F4 Magazine, the new church's full color, 16-page Sunday bulletin.

The congregation quickly embraced the idea. Anonymous questions began piling up in the offering baskets each Sunday morning, and A. Jesus Wrighter soon had more questions to answer than space to print the answers.

In their first year of operation as Food for Faith Fellowship, Int'l A. Jesus Wrighter selected and answered 70 thorny questions; some Sunday's answering two questions in one column. This book delivers those original 70 thorny questions, and their controversial biblical answers, for your enjoyment and spiritual edification.

My Pastor Caught Santa Dec 15, 2014

by Earl Middleton

$0.99

(Another Pastor Hook Mystery from Amazon #1 BEST SELLING author Earl Middleton!)
Pastor Hook has another case to solve!
This Christmas Santa breaks into First Baptist and grabs more than the cookies & milk!

Masked, armed robbers in baggy clothing break into First Baptist Church during the Christmas Morning service and stickup the entire congregation, making off with all their valuables, the Christmas offering, the pastor’s convertible containing a priceless engagement ring, and a deacon’s daughter to have their way with.
During the one hour siege they also force some of the people in attendance to perform unmentionable acts with each other, on the altar, in front of everyone. And they force Brother Yellowbear to continue rolling the tape. They get a one hour head start in their escape by taking away every cell phone, forcing all two hundred people into the boiler room and locking them in like sardines, and then cutting every phone line outside of the church.

When the police decide that they’re looking for delinquent boys from Newark who have probably fled the area, and call in the FBI to investigate the kidnapping, Hook gets involved. He has to start the New Year right, can’t do so without the engagement ring tucked in his glove box, is convinced that the authorities are heading down the wrong track, and doesn’t have time to wait for them to hit their inevitable dead end.

Join some of your favorite Belton characters and fall in love with new ones as Hook races against time to catch the thieves, recover his property, and pop the question all before the ball drops in Times Square!

Angels Unawares: Conceived in Queens Nov 30, 2013

by Earl Middleton

( 2 )

$2.99

Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
~ Hebrews 13:2 (KJV)

They live among us, on our roadways and transit lines, at our worship services and dinner tables, and even in our beds. Humans with angelic bloodlines, distant descendants of the angels of God who united with the daughters of men, spawning giants with heavenly powers.

He was just supposed to go to the bank, not destroy his family’s financial future. She was just supposed to have his baby, not fall in love. When their worlds collide the destiny of angels both good and bad, and humans both godly and devilish hangs in the balance. Ancient prophecies recorded in the Book of Revelation must be fulfilled, no matter the cost in human or angelic life. And their decisions will determine the fate of all.

In a heart stopping romp through the streets of New York City, Angels Unawares: Conceived in Queens follows the transformation of Rain Reynolds, a New York City public school legend who slowly discovers he has real angel’s blood in his veins, and Lisa Vickers, a former D.C. anchorwoman turned pastor with a secret, from immortal basketball icon and crack investigator to enlightened spiritual emissaries and their kind’s last real hope to find a place in heaven. And as usual the way to enlightenment goes straight through the dark.

Five Words That Will Change Your Life Sep 27, 2013

by Earl Middleton

$0.99

There is a corpus of core words that determine the potency of our walk with and witness for Jesus in the earth. When the Truth contained in those core words becomes alive in us, we become full of the life giving substance of God and are enabled to make a huge impact for Jesus here in this world. It is no coincidence that some of these core words are flashpoints for heated contention, conflict, and division in the body of Christ.

This book is an explication of these words for the good of the body. It's my prayer and aim that this book serve as a basic primer for believers who are serious about living lives of power and production until the Lord returns.

Having access to these core words will enable us to read the Bible through restored lenses which will usher in restored power. And when we live and walk in His power, everything changes!

My Pastor Didn't Do It Sep 20, 2013

by Earl Middleton

( 27 )

$2.99

Pastor Tony Hook is everybody’s favorite preacher in the quiet Newark suburb of Belton, NJ. Well, almost everybody’s. Conflicts, tensions, and resolutions grace every turn of this clean and humorous black church caper. And it’s all from the witty mind and converted heart of a real seminary trained preacher with 22 years of pastoral experience.

When the sexy Anemone Allon’s body turns up in her basement naked, sporting a hole through the head, the only evidence recovered from the scene is Hook’s DNA, and all he can offer for an alibi is that he was alone in his study, praying for Anemone’s soul. And his own. Of course, golden-eyed detective Sgt. Chris Sears sets her sights on him as her prime suspect, jeopardizing his future at any church, and Pastor Hook launches his own investigation into the murder. With an anonymous rival who will stop at nothing to get him out of the way, and a crusty trustee who will try almost anything to get rid of him also breathing down his neck, only heaven can help Hook out of this mess, but God has chosen this time to go silent on him. Pursued by good and hounded by evil, poisoned by deadly wildlife and stricken with writer’s block, Pastor Hook must overcome Jobian loss and ugly suits, resist witchcraft, brave fire, dodge bullets, survive explosions, and tame ravenous beasts to track down the killer.

As the body count rises, and in spite of “help” from his iconoclastic best buddy, Rev. Cornel Brown, and his nutty adopted mother, Freddie Pearl, Hook unravels the mystery, exposing the killer in a final confrontation before the entire Belton community. In the end almost no one is who they appeared to be in this clerical romp, and Hook realizes that even for pastors some clichés are built on truth: home is where the heart is, and the grass isn’t always greener on the other side.

Parental Malpractice: 20 Reasons Why Kids Feel Rejected Aug 25, 2012

by Earl Middleton

$0.99

Have you tried your best to be a good parent, but your child is still angry with you and hard to connect with?

Have your parents given you everything you've asked for, but it still doesn't feel like enough, and you don't know why?

In Parental Malpractice you'll find out what makes kids feel rejected even when their parents have given their all.

Nearly 30 million American children woke up this morning without the presence of or access to a father who loves them. Consequently, 85% of all youth offenders are kids who have been rejected by their father. There is a clear, direct relationship between parental rejection and life outcomes. However, more than 50 million children woke up this morning with both parents in their home, yet there are almost 100 million Americans who feel rejected by a parent. How could this be?

Parental rejection produces deep scars that affect significant areas of a child's present and future, and addressing the reasons kids feel rejection is the beginning of the process toward eliminating parental rejection and its' limiting effects from our national landscape. Parental Malpractice: 20 Reasons Why Kids Feel Rejected starts that conversation by revealing why so many kids feel rejected by a parent even when they have been given everything.

Written by a PRO (parental rejection overcomer) who was rejected by his parents and also rejected his own children, Parental Malpractice: 20 Reasons Why Kids Feel Rejected will help parents and their children to identify many of the not-so-obvious causes of rejection, heal their relationships, restore their souls, and enjoy the life they were designed to live.
