Download or read book Confessions of a Preacher s Wife written by Roberta Wilber and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2024-09-10 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When I was only ten years old, I was living in poverty, trapped in a dysfunctional situation - and so without hope that I attempted suicide. As years passed, nothing changed. With nowhere to turn, I called out to God for help, unsure if He even existed. From that moment on, I saw the hand of God in my life: in my mother’s miraculous rescue from a murder attempt; in my post high school enrollment in a Bible School; and in my marriage to a wonderful man, whom I met when he visited my home church as a guest preacher. I’d gone from spiritual and physical destitution to a wealth of love and blessing! Yet being the wife of a minister wasn’t without difficulties. From becoming a skilled hostess to dealing with the women who were attracted to my husband, I had many challenges to overcome. When my preacher husband, Steve, became sick, I trained as a real estate agent and learned there is as much ministry outside of the pulpit as behind it. And when Steve’s illness worsened, I discovered there could still be unexpected miracles in my life.

Download or read book Confessions of a Food Catholic written by Douglas Wilson and published by Canon Press & Book Service. This book was released on 2016-12-07 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You can sin with food in many ways -- by not sharing it, by eating way too much of it, by throwing it across the restaurant table... But you do not sin with food by bowing your head over it, saying grace with true gratitude in your heart, and tucking in. Sharp-edged but humorous, Confessions of a Food Catholic addresses the unscriptural approach to food that many Christians have developed in recent years. (By the way, a "food catholic" is somebody who accepts all eaters of all foods, even if he or she doesn't actually eat quinoa.) Specifically, the book addresses divisive threats to Christian table fellowship, the know-it-all pride of newfangled "health food" rules, and the dislocated moralism that makes "organic" and "natural" the signs of righteousness while disdaining the brethren who buy their beef at Stuffmart.

Download or read book Confessions of an Angry Man written by Brent C. Hofer and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-01-21 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A portion of the profits from the sale of this book will be donated to the organization that helped change my life. ARMS believes it's not enough to manage anger. Year after year, they prove that recovery is possible. I'm living proof. You've already surmised that this is not a scientific book about anger. There are many of them. Rather, this is the story of my moving from a life of anger to a new experience of rest, joy, and love. A number of transformations needed to happen in my thinking and behaviors in order to bring me to this new place. If you are angry, I hope these happen for you. This is my confession.I have been angry almost my whole life. I'm talking about the type of anger that resembles a landmine. You don't always see it, but it is there, buried in the personality, and when something triggers it, people get seriously hurt. I estimated I had 837,841 episodes of anger, control, and domination from age eighteen until fifty-seven. That is an average of nearly sixty incidents per day. That's sixty-not sixteen, and definitely not six. Something had to change. Actually, a lot had to change. Compassion is at the heart of writing this book. Everything in it describes the belief changes that needed to happen in my thinking so I could successfully practice processing fear, hurt, and anger in much healthier ways.I wrote this book to influence men to find the help I found. So their wives would be drawn to their loving husbands instead of drastically thinking how to flee. So their children would love their dads rather than being fearful of a dad who acts as an enemy. If you are an angry man, I plead with you to do the one act that no one else can do for you. Be willing to change.

He seemed like the perfect pastor to lead Centerville Christian Church. She was the perfect pastor’s wife. When Paul Hudson accepted the call to pastor the struggling church, he had no idea what to expect. But it didn’t take long for Paul to turn Centerville Christian Church around. Attendance was up-way up. Everything was going so well. If only his wife could see it that way. Still, he tried not to let her quiet presence disturb him. She knew something wasn’t right, and it hadn’t been for a long time. . . . Eunice closed the bedroom door quietly and knelt beside her bed. “I’m drowning, God. I’ve never felt so alone. Who can I turn to but you, Lord? Where else does a pastor’s wife go for help when her marriage is failing and her life is out of control? Who can I trust with my anguish, Lord? Who but you?” Grasping her pillow, she pressed it tightly to her mouth so that her sobs would not be heard. “This book is a powerful and almost-prophetic statement of the church in America. . . . And the Shofar Blew is a must-read.” —Anne Graham Lotz, bestselling author and speaker “[Rivers] as usual turns in a strong narrative, posing issues that ring loud and clear.” —Booklist “Meticulously plotted, Francine Rivers’s new masterpiece, And the Shofar Blew, brims with unforgettable characters.” —Romantic Times Also available in The Francine Rivers Contemporary Collection (e-book only).
