Book Healing Is Yours

Download or read book Healing Is Yours written by Phillip Goldfedder and published by . This book was released on 2005-07-01 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Healing Is Yours shows you how to receive healing by learning and applying basic biblical principles. You may be someone who does not believe in healing. For most of his life, author Phil Goldfedder, a Jewish neurosurgeon, did not believe in healing either. In fact, for most of his life he did not even believe in Jesus. When he was miraculously healed of chronic intractable pain, however, his whole belief system underwent an exciting and radical transformation. Now Dr. Goldfedder knows that Jesus is the Great Physician who can heal you everywhere you hurt, no matter what the condition may be. This user-friendly book was written under the guidance of the Holy Spirit to provide comfort and hope to all those who are seeking a healing of any kind. Its uplifting truths will help you to believe for your healing even before you see it. There is really only one prerequisite before reading this book--a strong desire to be healed and to be released from the suffering your illness has caused without regard to any traditional denominational beliefs, long-held ideas or philosophies you may have, or any scientific principles that deny the possibility of healing. As you read, you will learn how to blend the power of God's Word (the Holy Bible) with faith, trust, hope, and belief that will help you to understand truly that Healing Is Yours. God's love for you is steadfast, and He wants you to walk in health and happiness.

Drawn into the fairytale existence of his power and wealth, Grace is unable to see what her family and friends see, and ignores the warning signs of Dr. Benjamin Hayward's dark side. Benjamin's secrets-the death of his mentally ill wife and the disappearance of his daughter-push Grace into an abyss deeper than the one that brought her home in the first place, and she risks losing even more. Pieces of Grace is a complicated story of relationships confused by undercurrents of mental illness.

As the wealthy played, they relied on locals for everything from fishing charters to literally laundering and ironing their money.

Download or read book Love Mrs Euker written by Susan Cunningham Euker and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-11 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Love, Mrs. Euker is a series of vignettes written by a 40-year-old former teacher who returns to the classroom after ten years of retirement, leaving the calm and comfort of her well-ordered suburban life as a wife and mother for the wilds of a modern blackboard jungle. While she aspired to have a positive influence on her students, what she didn't foresee was the unexpected impact returning to teaching would have on her. In the true spirit of coddiwompling defined as traveling in a purposeful manner towards a vague destination, this Baltimore-based schoolteacher left her domestic cocoon and journeyed headlong into an unforeseen and unsettling future. While her family remained her central focus, she discovered a different dimension to her life, and in teaching teenagers, learned much about herself. Experience the joys and heartbreak of a life-changing career in education as you stand in a teacher's shoes as she cheers her students' success, grieves over lives interrupted, and experiences the challenge and rewards of preparing young people for an uncharted future. With wit, hard-earned wisdom and confessed foibles here and there, this veteran teacher presents a candid, insightful perspective of a career in education in all its tedium and shining moments of glory. In her account of twenty years of coaching, instructing, guiding and counseling students, live through the triumph and tears as she recounts her purposeful journey towards a vague destination. In this tribute to her former students at Hereford High School in suburban Baltimore, she writes for everyone who has ever sat in a classroom, or held a piece of chalk in their hand, or dreamed of inspiring the future. This is a love letter to teachers and their students everywhere.
