When Katie Davis Majors moved to Uganda, accidentally founded a booming organization, and later became the mother of thirteen girls through the miracle of adoption, she determined to weave her life together with the people she desired to serve. But joy often gave way to sorrow as she invested her heart fully in walking alongside people in the grip of poverty, addiction, desperation, and disease. After unexpected tragedy shook her family, for the first time Katie began to wonder, Is God really good? Does He really love us? When she turned to Him with her questions, God spoke truth to her heart and drew her even deeper into relationship with Him. Daring to Hope is an invitation to cling to the God of the impossible—the God who whispers His love to us in the quiet, in the mundane, when our prayers are not answered the way we want or the miracle doesn’t come. It’s about a mother discovering the extraordinary strength it takes to be ordinary. It’s about choosing faith no matter the circumstance and about encountering God’s goodness in the least expected places. Though your heartaches and dreams may take a different shape, you will find your own questions echoed in these pages. You’ll be reminded of the gifts of joy in the midst of sorrow. And you’ll hear God’s whisper: Hold on to hope. I will meet you here.

Download or read book Grace Enough for Three written by Don Clifford and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2008-03-31 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Don and Karen Clifford put God's promises to the test when they found themselves in storm after storm as they lost three small children to accidents and disease. These life-long Christians tell their inspiring story and share the lessons and insights they gained as they found God's grace to be sufficient. Here is what some Christian workers have to say about Grace Enough for Three. Few have experienced the sorrow of Don and Karen Clifford with the death of three small children at different times as well as two miscarriages. Most marriages do not survive such tragic events. Don and Karen are testimony to the biblical truth that God's grace is sufficient in the darkest hours of life. They are a joy filled couple faithfully serving the Lord. Their faith and faithfulness are an inspiration to others. When I read their story it became the seed for a series of messages on THE SUFFICIENT GRACE OF GOD. Their story will challenge you to overcome the difficulties in your life by trusting in God's sufficient grace. Dr. David Sheppard, Senior Pastor First Baptist Church St Charles, Mo. As I read "Grace Enough For Three," I was totally captivated, reading deep into the night and early mornings. "Grace" reads almost like fiction - but it most certainly isn't fiction. Don and Karen lived every moment of this fascinating and riveting story. In their lives, through their pain and oft times lack of understanding, they learned much about God's wonderful love and grace. Our thanks to Don and Karen for allowing us to be a part of their experience, for a look at how God can work in mysterious but marvelous ways in the lives of his children. Dr. M. Dale Allen Professor of Bible Missouri Baptist University

Download or read book Unbridled Forgiveness written by Sharon Hedrick and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2020-01-08 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unbridled Forgiveness is a story about the effects abuse can have on a family yet how we as Christians must learn to forgive even what seems most unforgiveable. Like many mornings, Joanne Liggins would awake to find that the love of her life was no longer by her side. She wondered how she could ever be happy again. She and Kenneth had vaguely known each other until attending a party of a mutual friend. From that night on, they quickly fell in love and, once graduating from high school, were married. Soon they had a beautiful baby girl, Bella. Yet now because of one tragic night, Joanne's life seemed over. Her mother, Marcy, had taken over most responsibilities in taking care of young Bella, hoping that someday Joanne would find it in her heart to forgive the madman responsible for all her pain. Marcy and Bill Liggins married young, and from the first day of their life together as husband and wife, Marcy knew this would be no fairy-tale marriage. Prior to their wedding day, Marcy was pursuing her passion and dream of becoming a registered nurse. Bill robbed her of that dream and made sure her life slowly moved toward becoming a nightmare. Each of her four children, Devin, Joanne, Rick, and Fran, had suffered in some way throughout the many years of physical and mental abuse brought on by this madman. Someone who should have loved and protected his family seemed to thrive more and more each year in abusing them. Marcy escaped the place she had tried so hard to make a happy home once, only to find herself drawn back in by the deceit and promises that Bill would never keep. It wouldn't be long before she would see just how much evil her husband enveloped. Soon she would escape him forever, yet at a cost. Kenneth, her loving son-in-law, would lose his life. Anyone that knew Kenneth had been certain that he would do it all over again to save the life of Marcy and her children. He had laid down his life so that others could live and, in doing so, set the Liggins family free. No longer could Bill inflict the abuse as he had done for so many years on his family. Prison would now be his home, a place from where he would seek forgiveness of all the horrible things he had done while living in freedom. The Liggins were each day by day putting their lives back together. Dreams were beginning to take form. Happiness was replacing their once-sullen and fearful hearts. It appeared now that because of the heroic actions of their beloved Kenneth, true love could once again become a possibility. Some had forgiven Bill for the atrocities put on their lives; others had not. Only when we fill our hearts completely with the love of Christ, seeing others the way he sees them, are we able to manifest unbridled forgiveness.

Through the principles in To Love, Honor, and Vacuum, Gregoire promises readers they can grow and thrive in the midst of their hectic lives--even if their circumstances stay the same.
