Download or read book Hope in the Dark written by Craig Groeschel and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2018-08-21 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can God be good when life is not? Rediscover faith in the character, power, and presence of God. Even in the questions. Even in the hurt. "I want to believe, I want to have hope, but . . ." Pastor and bestselling author Craig Groeschel hears these words often and has asked them himself. We want to know God, feel his presence, and trust that he hears our prayers, but in the midst of great pain, we may wonder if he really cares about us. Even when we have both hope and hurt, sometimes it's the hurt that shouts the loudest. In Hope in the Dark, Groeschel explores the story of the father who brought his demon-possessed son to Jesus, saying, "I believe! Help my unbelief!" In the man's sincere plea, Jesus heard the tension in the man's battle-scarred heart. He healed not only the boy but the father too, driving out the hopelessness that had overtaken him. He can do the same for us today. As Groeschel shares his pain surrounding the health challenges of his daughter, he acknowledges the questions we may ask in our own deepest pain: "Where was God when I was being abused?" "Why was my child born with a disability?" "Why did the cancer come back?" "Why are all my friends married and I'm alone?" He invites us to wrestle with such questions as we ask God to honor our faith and heal our unbelief. Because in the middle of your profound pain, you long for authentic words of understanding and hope. You long to know that even in overwhelming reality, you can still believe that God is good. Hope in the Dark is also available in Spanish, Esperanza en la Oscuridad.

That ten-foot plunge might have ended the career of one of America's most exciting young prodigies. But thanks to his dramatic recovery, the fall added not only a new dimension to his story but it brought Kirk Franklin to the attention of millions who otherwise might never have heard the name.

Book excerpt: Centuries ago, Brax committed unforgivable sins, killing his lover and himself, and to escape eternal damnation, he made a bargain with the Devil. Now immortal, he roams the earth, corrupting and collecting souls for Hell's infernal legions in anticipation of the coming apocalypse. And he is very, very good at what he does.When he is given the special assignment of corrupting Maggie Westbrook, a seemingly timid high school senior who also happens to be one of the Nephilim, children of angels with the purest of mortal souls, Brax believes his goal of commanding his own legion in Hell's army is finally within his reach. Maggie isn't just any Nephilim; she's the lamb who will break the seals that will usher in Armageddon, and her corruption will tip the scales of that final battle towards Hell.But he quickly finds that the job will be more difficult than he first anticipated. For one thing, he has competition in the form of the demon Corbin Black, whose powers of corruption rival his own. And Maggie is not unguarded, as the Nephilim and host of Heaven will do everything they can to stop him. Most disconcerting, though, is Maggie herself. From the moment Brax first sees her, he is drawn to her purity and innocence, and as he comes to know her, long-forgotten emotions begin to rise within him, emotions he hasn't felt for centuries...While Testimony is an epic story of good and evil battling for control of an innocent soul, with the fate of the world hanging in the balance, it's also the more personal story of a deeply flawed man trying as hard as he can to overcome the devastating sins of his past and find true love and redemption.This book contains mature themes, violence, drug use, drinking, and sexual situations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever been in that chapter of your life where everything that could possibly go wrong does so you just want to curse God and die or you question if God even really exists? What would you do if you simply wanted to live the blessed life of a devoted Christian, to excel in school, to make your family proud, to find true love and live happily ever after yet everything came crashing down when evil interrupted? In the '80s, Street was a lost soul and once a devoted Christian teenage boy living in Jamaica; he backslid after a series of devastating life-changing events over the years led him to doubt and to create this bizarre test game in certain situations to have God or the devil prove their existence to him. The devil constantly did. He lost his faith and resorted to dancing to fill that void by forming a break dance group called the Street Boys. They became popular, and he became content. But it didn't last. With evil and trouble constantly tormenting him, the Street Boys eventually transitioned into a ruthless street gang to defend themselves against their rivals and enemies. But amidst all the street fights and mayhem that consumed him, he one day found solace-love in a Christian girl, which eventually led him back to Christ. Happy ending, you might think, but far from it! The twists, turns, and shockers that accompanied his new relationship with her led to more mayhem, bloodshed, and heartbreak-and even worse, an ending that no one ever saw coming or could have even predicted. This story is based on actual events.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bestselling author John Boyne's A History of Loneliness tells the riveting narrative of an honorable Irish priest who finds the church collapsing around him at a pivotal moment in its history. Propelled into the priesthood by a family tragedy, Odran Yates is full of hope and ambition. When he arrives at Clonliffe Seminary in the 1970s, it is a time in Ireland when priests are highly respected, and Odran believes that he is pledging his life to "the good." Forty years later, Odran's devotion is caught in revelations that shatter the Irish people's faith in the Catholic Church. He sees his friends stand trial, colleagues jailed, the lives of young parishioners destroyed, and grows nervous of venturing out in public for fear of disapproving stares and insults. At one point, he is even arrested when he takes the hand of a young boy and leads him out of a department store looking for the boy's mother. But when a family event opens wounds from his past, he is forced to confront the demons that have raged within the church, and to recognize his own complicity in their propagation, within both the institution and his own family. A novel as intimate as it is universal, A History of Loneliness is about the stories we tell ourselves to make peace with our lives. It confirms Boyne as one of the most searching storytellers of his generation.
