Book Finding Faith in Slow Motion

Download or read book Finding Faith in Slow Motion written by Damon J. Gray and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2013-11 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Faith is neither static nor instantaneous. It is not something we stumble upon and instantly understand. Neither is it a monolithic, one-dimensional, singular entity that has but one face, one color, one fragrance. It is many-faceted, multi-dimensional, and appears differently depending on one's angle to the Son. In Finding Faith in Slow Motion, Damon Gray examines faith from myriad angles and through gut-wrenching life experiences, as he asks regarding faith, "What is that stuff?" Spanning the emotional gamut from laughter to tears, Gray challenges us to define our faith and redefine it, to look at it from a multitude of perspectives and define it again. The writing is intentionally evocative and playful, offering the reader the ability to identify with Gray as he wrestles with the weighty subject matter of finding faith.

Download or read book God in Slow Motion written by Mike Nappa and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2013-08-20 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus was not in a hurry. He had only three years of public ministry—three years to heal and teach and change the world—but the Bible never tells us he was rushing through them. We are the ones who rush through them. Catching the gist of this parable. Smiling at the punch line in that dialogue. We can race through the Gospels in hours, fully briefed on Christ’s life, but hardly changed. Until we sit down with Mike Nappa’s God in Slow Motion. Nappa hasn’t carved up the Gospels for quick review or sliced them into tiny pieces for academic study. He has taken ten important moments from the life of Christ and reveled in them, chewing on their words, relating them to life, comparing them with modern culture, allowing the Spirit to work, and letting Christ change him. The result is a rich, personal, and biblical narrative about Jesus and how His purposes unfold, then and now. See how God is sneaky about his glory. How he presents evidence for belief. How he can be comforting and terrifying at once. This is the “good news” in all its many-splendored wonder: the life of Christ, frame by frame. And it is worth every minute because it will change you too.

Download or read book The Creed in Slow Motion written by Martin Kochanski and published by Hodder & Stoughton. This book was released on 2022-06-30 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth... The Creed is the bones of our faith. In all our different ways, it makes us who we are. But when we stand up and recite the Creed in unison, we have no time to contemplate what it is that we are committing ourselves to. The words rush past, their meaning blurred by familiarity. If we could only slow them down and hear them properly, they would have the power to change worlds. That is what The Creed in Slow Motion aims to do. This is a book for people who like to think things through from first principles. It will not tell you what to believe. (It is for you to engage your mind and discover that for yourself. And for unbelievers to learn what exactly they disbelieve, and why.) In forty short chapters, with clarity and wit, The Creed in Slow Motion draws examples from real-life stories, history and even science to uncover the core claims of Christianity. By turns it is deep, heartening, startling, revolutionary and even, by the world's standards, outrageous.

Download or read book God of the Gaps written by Christie Love and published by Morgan James Publishing. This book was released on 2021-01-05 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This book is essential carry-on luggage for traveling through hard times . . . [It] will bring you comfort, challenge you, and give you inspiration.” —Traci Brown, author of Persuasion Point Struggle is the great equalizer. At one time or another, every person will experience some type of challenge that will leave them lingering between a struggle they are facing and a solution that they are waiting on. This in-between place is called the gap. Gaps do not discriminate. People from all ages, income brackets, genders, positions of power, levels of education, backgrounds and ethnicities are going to travel through the gaps at some point. These seasons of struggle can either push individuals away from God or draw them closer to Him. God of the Gaps challenges people with and without a prior link to God’s heart to recognize His presence in their gaps and His desire to connect with them during these times of questions, doubts, hurts, and emotions. “God of the Gaps pulls the rug from beneath certain Christian platitudes that often plague works about suffering and leave the reader to wrestle as they try to find God in their ‘gaps’ . . . a must-read for anyone who is struggling to find the light of God in dark places.” —Ally Henny, Vice President, The Witness: A Black Christian Collective “I am grateful to Christie Love for sharing her gap lessons with courage, vulnerability, and a good dose of scriptural insight. For all in ‘the gap’ here is help and hope!” —Elisa Morgan, Speaker, Author, Co-Host of Discover the Word and God Hears Her

Book Not Wasting a Save

Download or read book Not Wasting a Save written by Joy Schulz and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2020-03-11 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here it is; I wrote these three words when I began to journal on my quest to find God in my life. Sometimes we question God's existence when things get hard and we begin to doubt our level of faith. My goal was to find Him active in the victories, as well as, in the defeats while trying to understand the role He plays. Along th eway, I began to discover and recognize the saves He extends to us all and the importance of using them for good. My hope is that you journal through the pages in discovering your level of faith and begin to recognize the saves given. It's bringing the spotlight on God as you grow in your faith; you begin to see Him in a different way. It was a simple question of me asking if He could see little 'ole me just standing in the road. And, what I found is, He did.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A modern suburban western set at the edge of 2016, Live Through This is at once a family drama and political saga about a woman who is forced to face her complicated grief in order to avenge her husband's death and her own life. LIVE THROUGH THIS is a modern-day western about love and violence, trauma and redemption, and how, in the end, the destiny which controls us, is also up to us to control. Jane is a woman trying to reconcile the joyous mediocrity of middle-aged life. Formerly a producer for Blake Edwards, one of television’s biggest broadcasters, Jane felt destined for stardom. But when her romance and career with Blake unceremoniously ended, she found herself picking up the pieces with another dreamer gone astray, Theo, a former LA Dodger whose career was also derailed. Both recovering addicts, they began a new life of car seats, day jobs, meaningful tattoos, and the micro-aggressions of marriage. When tragedy strikes, disrupting everything they’ve built, Jane must not only confront her past, but the potential she abandoned years before. After Blake’s new producer calls her, Jane finds herself again on center stage. Negotiating between advocacy and exploitation, Jane must decide if she is willing to fight for the dream she left behind, and against the systems that destroyed it.

Book In Praise of Slowness

Download or read book In Praise of Slowness written by Carl Honore and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-04-14 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in the age of speed. We strain to be more efficient, to cram more into each minute, each hour, each day. Since the Industrial Revolution shifted the world into high gear, the cult of speed has pushed us to a breaking point. Consider these facts: Americans on average spend seventy-two minutes of every day behind the wheel of a car, a typical business executive now loses sixty-eight hours a year to being put on hold, and American adults currently devote on average a mere half hour per week to making love. Living on the edge of exhaustion, we are constantly reminded by our bodies and minds that the pace of life is spinning out of control. In Praise of Slowness traces the history of our increasingly breathless relationship with time and tackles the consequences of living in this accelerated culture of our own creation. Why are we always in such a rush? What is the cure for time sickness? Is it possible, or even desirable, to slow down? Realizing the price we pay for unrelenting speed, people all over the world are reclaiming their time and slowing down the pace -- and living happier, healthier, and more productive lives as a result. A Slow revolution is taking place. Here you will find no Luddite calls to overthrow technology and seek a preindustrial utopia. This is a modern revolution, championed by cell-phone using, e-mailing lovers of sanity. The Slow philosophy can be summed up in a single word -- balance. People are discovering energy and efficiency where they may have been least expected -- in slowing down. In this engaging and entertaining exploration, award-winning journalist and rehabilitated speedaholic Carl Honoré details our perennial love affair with efficiency and speed in a perfect blend of anecdotal reportage, history, and intellectual inquiry. In Praise of Slowness is the first comprehensive look at the worldwide Slow movements making their way into the mainstream -- in offices, factories, neighborhoods, kitchens, hospitals, concert halls, bedrooms, gyms, and schools. Defining a movement that is here to stay, this spirited manifesto will make you completely rethink your relationship with time.
