Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever felt your life was hopeless because of the mistakes you've made? That you're damaged goods, beyond repair, beyond the reach of God's love? Diamonds for Christ will show you how God can turn each disappointment, struggle, fear, obstacle, and pain you've experienced to help you overcome life's challenges to fill you with hope and expectancy. Just like diamonds, which are formed through the process of pressure and heat to produce something beautiful, God will heal and restore every broken area of your life. God healed me from the pain of divorce, abortion, single parenting, loneliness, hopelessness, and living a life to please people; he will do the same for you. He allowed me to see that his love and grace are much greater than my sin and failures. Through Jesus Christ and his finished work on the cross, I've been restored and have a new outlook on life. A life with a sense of purpose, meaning, and hope, knowing that through Christ, all things are possible. There is also a fulfilling and happy life awaiting you. It's time to stop living confined by your past and look to the beauty of your future because God has an awesome plan and purpose for you!

Download or read book Diamonds in the Rough written by Cindy Lasiter and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God used the lives of His Old Testament servants to advance history toward His planned revelation of His Son, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. As He did, He also provided a written record for us to study and use as warnings, exhortations, and boundaries for our own lives. Although our circumstances have changed since ancient biblical times, the people represented in them still look much the same as you and I! This study provides women with a unique approach to learning and applying God's principles for daily living, by examining some of the key lessons that are to be seen from the lives of many Old Testament characters. As we see their attributes and flaws, and study how God interacted with them, we can appreciate how His own standards of holiness are never compromised, although His guidance is tempered with great love and mercy. Join Cindy Lasiter in this seventeen-week study, which can be used for personal study or dynamic group discussion. You too will gain great hope and direction as you see how even God's most incredible servants in the Bible were, at best, diamonds in the rough!

Download or read book Immortal Diamond written by Richard Rohr and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2012-01-02 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dissolve the distractions of ego to find our authentic selves in God In his bestselling book Falling Upward, Richard Rohr talked about ego (or the False Self) and how it gets in the way of spiritual maturity. But if there's a False Self, is there also a True Self? What is it? How is it found? Why does it matter? And what does it have to do with the spiritual journey? This book likens True Self to a diamond, buried deep within us, formed under the intense pressure of our lives, that must be searched for, uncovered, separated from all the debris of ego that surrounds it. In a sense True Self must, like Jesus, be resurrected, and that process is not resuscitation but transformation. Shows how to navigate spiritually difficult terrain with clear vision and tools to uncover our True Selves Written by Father Richard Rohr, the bestselling author of Falling Upward Examines the fundamental issues of who we are and helps us on our path of spiritual maturity Immortal Diamond (whose title is taken from a line in a Gerard Manley Hopkins poem) explores the deepest questions of identity, spirituality, and meaning in Richard Rohr's inimitable style.

Download or read book Not by Politics Alone written by Sara Diamond and published by Guilford Press. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this incisive work, Sara Diamond expands our understanding of the Christian Right beyond what is commonly known about its electoral clout, shedding light on the rarely seen boundaries and intersections where politics and culture converge. The book examines the web of grassroots cultural institutions, including publishing houses, law firms, broadcast stations, and church-centered community programs, that have helped conservative evangelical groups maintain their influence for over two decades. Highlighting the movement's complex alliance with the Republican Party, Diamond provides a rare behind-the-scenes look at the formation, organizing strategies, and heated internal debates of such powerful national organizations as Focus on the Family and the Christian Coalition. She offers a richly textured analysis of how the rubric of "family values" has been used to infuse evangelical beliefs into local and national discussions around such disparate issues as childrearing, gay rights, abortion, public education, and funding for the arts.

Download or read book Immortal Diamond written by Gerard Manley Hopkins and published by Image. This book was released on 1995 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gerard Manley Hopkins's verse contains the unique paradox of a poet-priest who wanted to evoke the spiritual essence of nature sensuously, and to communicate this revelation using innovative technique and natural language. This collection gives voice to his feelings of intense spiritual longing. Through his exceptional ability as a writer, Hopkins created tuneless expressions of the eternal religious expressions that will find resonance with contemporary spiritual seekers. Longing and faith -- both constant elements of spirituality -- are here so exquisitely expressed as to give this collection great meaning for today. "Gerard Manley Hopkins" (1844-1889) was a Jesuit priest and poet. Although his body of work is small, he ranks high among English poets and was extremely influential on twentieth-century poetry.
