Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We wouldn't try to light a dark path by striking one little match after another would we? Neither can we see our spiritual path very clearly by reading the Bible the way we customarily do--a chapter here or verse there. Perhaps you shied away from the whole-book approach after your first attempt to read through the whole Bible bogged down somewhere in Leviticus. But why not try again to read the Bible one whole book at a time? This time will be different. Reading a whole book of the Bible can give you the big picture as you've never seen it before. One book reads like a series of short stories, another like a love letter from God, another like poetry or an instruction manual. Woodrow Kroll will jumpstart your desire to read the Bible book by book. Find your favorite chair, pick up you Bible, and settle down for a life-giving good read!

Download or read book Not Yet Married written by Marshall Segal and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2017-06-20 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life Is Never Mainly About Love and Marriage. So Learn to Live and Date for More. Many of you grew up assuming that marriage would meet all of your needs and unlock God's purposes for you. But God has far more planned for you than your future marriage. Not Yet Married is not about waiting quietly in the corner of the world for God to bring you "the one," but about inspiring you to live and date for more now. If you follow Jesus, the search for a spouse is no longer a pursuit of the perfect person, but a pursuit of more of God. He will likely write a love story for you different than the one you would write for yourself, but that's because he loves you and knows how to write a better story. This book was written to help you find real hope, happiness, and purpose in your not-yet-married life.

Download or read book Washed and Waiting written by Wesley Hill and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2016-09-13 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wesley Hill's personal experiences and biblical reflections offer insight into how a nonpracticing gay Christian can "prove, live out, and celebrate" the grace of Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit. For many who are on this path, it's a lonely one. The reality of loneliness and isolation of the celibate homosexual Christian is something that Hill lives and takes seriously in his pursuit of the gospel-centered life. To those on a similar journey, it's often a life of uncertainties and questions. In Washed and Waiting, Hill explores the three main struggles that have been part of his daily effort to live faithfully: What exactly does the gospel demand of gay and lesbian Christians, and how can it enable them to fulfill its commands? How do Christians who experience homoerotic desires live with the loneliness such desires entail? Is there any relief for it? What comfort does the gospel offer? Can those of us who struggle with homosexuality please God and truly experience his pleasure in the midst of sexual brokenness? Interspersed throughout these main sections are character sketches and stories of people who have experienced this journey's trials and triumphs. Hill offers wise counsel that is biblically faithful, theologically serious, and oriented to the life and practice of the church. As a celibate gay Christian, he gives us a glimpse of what it looks like to wrestle firsthand with God's "No" to same-sex sexual intimacy and contemplate serious and difficult questions.

Download or read book Time for God written by Jacques Philippe and published by Scepter Publishers. This book was released on 2017-03-29 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many people today are thirsty for God and feel a desire for an intense, personal prayer life that is deep and ongoing. But they encounter obstacles that prevent them from following the path seriously, and especially from persevering on it. Time for God was written with these desires and difficulties in mind. In Time for God, author Jacques Philippe mainly concentrates on mental prayer: prayer that consists of facing God in solitude and silence for a time in order to enter into intimate, loving communion with him. Practicing this kind of prayer regularly is considered by all spiritual masters to be an indispensable path that gives access to genuine Christian life—a path to knowing and loving God that empowers us to respond to his call to holiness addressed to each individual. Philippe draws on years of experience as a spiritual guide to illuminate the fundamental principles of mental prayer and describes some common mistakes and misconceptions that can lead it astray. With simplicity and clarity he explains the foundational principles for a healthy prayer life and gives advice for overcoming the various obstacles that arise when one sets off on the path of interior prayer.

Download or read book The Times of Refreshing written by Loretta Hardrick and published by . This book was released on 2018-09-23 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book you will be awakened as God himself, is glorified and provides revelations, comfort, healing, deliverance, change, miracles and provision for His people. You will be enlightened and encouraged by the journal entries as well as the testimonies explaining what praising God totally encompasses and how praising God can and will change your life. It is our intention that the Holy Ghost open up your eyes of understanding, for you to become conscious and more aware of God's presence. From the presence of the Lord, comes the fullness of joy and from the fullness, may you grasp, cling to and absorb a crisp clean sense of refreshing. Imagine the birds as they gather at a puddle of fresh water after a downpour of rain; their wings begin to flap up and down as they allow the moisture to saturate their entire being, they sense a freshness transpiring; a renewing if you will. We each can experience this genuine cleansing and be rejuvenated from the Spirit of the Lord as He rests upon our hearts. The word confirms He is with us always but oftentimes we need a reminder that His Spirit dwells in us and that He truly is with us always. When we truly comprehend this concept the blinders are lifted from our eyes and our visibility is enhanced, suddenly you step into the realization of this truth; this awareness is what causes the hairs on the back of your neck to stand at attention, and goosebumps to appear on our skin, while warm tears stream down your cheeks. The reality, the consciousness of His presence, His glory is being manifested through the revelations which sink in; the epitome of the Almighty through His spirit has reached down into the depths of your innards and is intermingling with your Spirit touching us in such a divine manner that leaves one inwardly and outwardly refreshed. A newfound freshness that catapults our gratefulness into the next dimension through the vibrancy of praise expressed all the way down from the depths of our soul bursting out into the very existence of our Creator's atmosphere. Don't you want to partake of such a glorious encounter? A light into a darkened world, a ray of God's Son-shine from His presence for all the world to behold.
