I think; I pray and I recall how God has always made the way. now I too know what I must do and that is like Leah... I am to cling to the cross each and every day. J. Allen Wilson 9/13/2008

Download or read book The Vow written by Ed Gungor and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his first release since the best-selling There is More to the Secret, Ed Gungor challenges the church to return to authenticity and community. Over and over again in scripture Christians are encouraged to "make vows to the Lord" (e.g., Psalm 76:11). Is it possible that making vows-- intentionally inserting various Christian practices into our lives-- would have great value to 21st-century Christians? What if we thoughtfully and publicly articulated vows before God and those we love? Would it help our lives take on the tone of the eternal? Has something been lost in the openness of the 21st century? The answer is yes! Gungor says: "Vow-making is an old trail that was very familiar to the ancients who have gone before us, but is virtually unknown for we moderns. As I have wandered down this path, it has been both intriguing and empowering, and, on another level, just plain dangerous. But I really think it's leading somewhere. That's the why of this writing."

And yet, against all odds, but through the common faith in Christ that sustained them, Kim and Krickitt fell in love all over again.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Addiction is a very real problem and has touched the lives of far too many families in one way or another. So many people and their families suffer through all of the fallout that this problem delivers to their doorsteps. Issues with pain, anger, hurt, bitterness, rejection, and the feeling of worthlessness are at the core of this issue. Families continually struggle to cope, support, and help their loved ones suffering with addiction. Many times, the legal system and programs fail to foster any long-lasting solutions. Real recovery generally feels so impossible. Hopes feel temporal, as momentary success only leads to rebounding, repeated, familiar failures. Families raise their hands in futile desperation. The void runs so deep within this population of people scrambling to find peace and hope. And unfortunately, they habitually search for their answers and explanations in all the wrong places. However . . . What if, there truly was real help out there? What if there really was a real solution? What if there was a place that gave a direction and guidance that would be long-lasting? What if true harmony could be found? What if a loved one's life could be saved . . . before it's too late? In BC: 60 Minutes from Hell, the struggle of one man is shared. His pains, his struggle for sobriety and the fallout upon those who shared the journey with him. In AD: To God Be the Glory, the story continues. Can answers be found? Can families be healed? Can there really be something that fills the void? If drugs and alcohol are not the answer, what is? Faith, properly directed, can fill the void! Hope is there for the taking. Healing can be had. Love can be restored.
