Download or read book A Desperate Faith written by Jo Kadlecek and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2010-06-01 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why did Jesus spend forty days on earth after his death when he could have returned home to the majesty of heaven? And out of all the people on the planet at that time who could have helped him get a major religious movement off the ground, why did he seek out those who had run the other way when he was crucified? In this fascinating book, Jo Kadlecek shows readers how the disciples who saw Jesus after his death were changed from sometimes bumbling scaredy-cats to pillars of the Christian faith. She invites readers to experience their own transformation in every part of life--relationships, jobs, finances, family, and more--as they come to a new understanding and appreciation of the basis of the faith: the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Do you wrestle with cultural messages that demean the homemaker's calling and exalt instead the emotionally androgynous power-woman---the wife whose worth is measured only by the degree of her self-ambition, the shape of her body, or her money-making skills? Delightfully fresh and honest, "Passionate Housewives Desperate for God" debunks the modern "desperate housewife" myth and provides fresh vision for the homemaker. Hear a former "Christian" feminist share how she went from a die-hard homemaker-in-training to a dedicated career woman, and then back again---after God gripped her heart. See the hollow counterfeit of whitewashed feminism and "me-ology" destroyed.

Download or read book Desperate for More of God The Heart Cry of Every Believer written by Shane a. Idleman and published by . This book was released on 2014-01 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the difficult challenges associated with pastoring is witnessing the tragic results of people dying spiritually with living water just steps away: "Whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst" (John 4:14). Although most can quote, "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness for they shall be filled," many have never truly experienced it-very few are truly hungry and thirsty for God. This book is a compilation of past articles, sections from other books I've written, and sermons preached at Westside Christian Fellowship-the best-of-the-best. We pray that this collection of targeted topics fuels an intense desire for more of God. Though the road ahead may be uncertain at times, the solid ground beneath will never shift. It's all about Who you know. Desperate for More should be the heart cry of every believer. "Bold, Outspoken, and Prophetic, this book is sure to awaken, convict, and challenge..." -Alex Montoya; Associate Professor of Pastoral Ministries, The Master's Seminary in Sun Valley, California

Download or read book A Desperate God written by Clay Mize and published by Thorn Hill Books. This book was released on 2018-07-30 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An American boy is introduced to God by his mother through prayer. He grows up and takes a look back on his prayers through time. He assesses how answered and unanswered prayers shaped his relationship with God. While writing the book the man perceives he has missed something about God. This realization changes everything for him. What he perceived was that God's action were different from what some clergy led him to believe about God. They portrayed to him an in-control, passionless genius playing a great game in which we are all pawns. Instead, he discovered something else in the Bible...a desperate God. First the flood and then the crucifixion of his only begotten son. He realized these are not the acts of someone with a pedestrian interest in the outcome of events on earth. These are desperate actions of one who is playing for keeps and playing to win. In the book he lays out his conclusions and the reasons why and an incredible list of answered prayer that goes far beyond coincidence.

Download or read book Irresistible written by Andy Stanley and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2018-09-18 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fresh look at the earliest Christian movement reveals what made the new faith so compelling...and what we need to change today to make it so again. Once upon a time there was a version of the Christian faith that was practically irresistible. After all, what could be more so than the gospel that Jesus ushered in? Why, then, isn't it the same with Christianity today? Author and pastor Andy Stanley is deeply concerned with the present-day church and its future. He believes that many of the solutions to our issues can be found by investigating our roots. In Irresistible, Andy chronicles what made the early Jesus Movement so compelling, resilient, and irresistible by answering these questions: What did first-century Christians know that we don't—about God's Word, about their lives, about love? What did they do that we're not doing? What makes Christianity so resistible in today's culture? What needs to change in order to repeat the growth our faith had at its beginning? Many people who leave or disparage the faith cite reasons that have less to do with Jesus than with the conduct of his followers. It's time to hit pause and consider the faith modeled by our first-century brothers and sisters who had no official Bible, no status, and little chance of survival. It's time to embrace the version of faith that initiated—against all human odds—a chain of events resulting in the most significant and extensive cultural transformation the world has ever seen. This is a version of Christianity we must remember and re-embrace if we want to be salt and light in an increasingly savorless and dark world.
