Book excerpt: Enter a simpler way of living by unhurrying your heart, embracing the relaxed rhythms of nature, and discovering the meaningful gift of growing slow. We long to make a break from the fast pace of life, but if we're honest, we're afraid of what we'll miss if we do. Yet when going big and hustling hard leaves us stressed, empty, and out of sorts, perhaps this can be our cue to step into a far more satisfying, sustainable pace. In this crafted, inspiring read, beloved author Jennifer Dukes Lee offers a path to unhurried living by returning to the rhythm of the land and learning the ancient art of Growing Slow. Jennifer was once at breaking point herself, and tells her story of rude awakening to the ways her chosen lifestyle of running hard, scaling fast, and the neverending chase for results was taking a toll on her body, heart, and soul. But when she finally gave herself permission to believe it takes time to grow good things, she found a new kind of freedom. With eloquent truths and vivid storytelling, Jennifer reflects on the lessons she learned from living on her fifth-generation family farm and the insights she gathered from the purposeful yet never rushed life of Christ. Growing Slow charts a path out of the pressures of bigger, harder, faster, and into a more rooted way of living where the growth of good things is deep and lasting. Following the rhythms of the natural growing season, Growing Slow will help you: Find the true relief that comes when you stop running and start resting in Jesus Learn practices for unhurrying your heart and mind every day Let go of the pressure and embrace the small, good things already bearing fruit in your life And engage slow growth through reflection prompts and simple application steps

Download or read book Finding God in the Ordinary written by Pierce Taylor Hibbs and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2018-09-19 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We tend to look for God in the grand and spectacular, but most of our lives are filled with ordinary moments and routines: drinking coffee, reading a book, driving to work. Can we find God in the banalities of everyday life? In Finding God in the Ordinary, the author shows that we can, and that we must. Our world is not an ordinary world. Because it was spoken into being and maintained by the word of God's power (Heb 1:3), everything around us is always revealing the nature and character of the triune God. Our world is extraordinarily ordinary, always calling our attention to the God of glory and his work in the commonplace.

Book excerpt: We expect to find God in church and in our private devotions. But have you ever wondered where He is the rest of the time-especially when things go wrong? With humor and poignancy, author Lillie Ammann shares how she finds God in the everyday experiences of her life. If you like the smell of cookies in the oven and watching reruns of The Waltons, you will love the folksy flavor of Finding God in the Everyday. Molly Noble Bull, Christian romance author, www.mollynoblebull.com Lillie has written a refreshingly insightful book. Though at times I took a different theological point of view, most often I found myself thinking of ways in which the Scriptures, the stories, and the heartfelt prayers could be applied to my daily life. This book is practical, inspiring, and highly readable. Terry L. Sumerlin, Conference speaker and author, www.terrysumerlin.com Lillie Ammann shares stories from her life, showing great insight in how God has used these experiences to help her and others grow in their faith. This book will encourage everyone who reads it to look for God's hand in their daily lives. Janet Kaderli, Christian author, www.janetkaderli.com I've been privileged to be Lillie Ammann's priest for 13 years. She's like an onion...lots of layers of wonderful experience, wit, humor, and talent. And God has used those layers in her devotional book. It in, you will find "Miss Lillie"-pithy, direct, and easily-understood. That comes out, as we would have said in my military career, "loud and clear." Some other things come out: faith, perseverance, and a lifetime of learning at our Master's nail-scarred feet-things money can't buy. Miss Lillie has applied the narrative of her diverse life to one point-growing in the Grace and Love of Jesus Christ. She's literally taken her life and given it to us to share what she's learned at each juncture. It's a rare gift, and certainly one that will better our world, as she shares her hope in Jesus through the vehicle of her remarkable perspective. Read this and grow in Him Who is our Hope. The Venerable Father CB "Chip" Harper++, Anglican Archdeacon Emeritus of San Antonio, Texas "Where's God" is a question everyone asks, particularly when life brings heartaches and difficulties. Lillie Amman answers the question by pulling back the curtain, allowing us to see and feel her personal struggles to find God's presence in the good, the bad, and the ugly of daily life. Her message: we too can find God when we stop, look, and listen. Lillie writes with passion and emotion; she allows us to walk beside her and see her discovery of God in her daily life. Her stories are so real and compelling the book is hard to put down. Each chapter includes two items from her experience: a Bible verse showing God does show up and a prayer. Where's God, you ask? He's here with us; we can find Him in our daily life when we look. Ben Ferguson, Adopt-a-Chaplain You have within your grasp a key to 'Finding God in the Everyday' or you would not be reading these sentences. Know this, and be prepared for its impact: this little book may be God's way to help you do just that-to find God in the everyday. That said, as my friend Lillie helps us learn (though she never says it quite this way): the fact is we don't really need to find God. Nor does He need to find us. He knows right where we are. If we are honest, we know right where He is, too. If we open our eyes, we can see Him. If we open our ears, we can hear Him. If we open our hearts, we can know Him, for "He is not far from any one of us, for in Him we live and move and have our being" (Acts 17:27b-28). the end, I think you, too, will think of her as a friend. The faith and stories shared in these pages are not only inspiring, they are instructive. They are helpful. They are down-home. They are everyday. They are otherworldly. Read and be blessed. Welcome to the life of knowing God in the miraculous, other-worldly, plain ol' everyday. Fr. J

Download or read book Finding God in a Galaxy Far Far Away written by Timothy Paul Jones and published by Multnomah. This book was released on 2010-06-30 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nothing in Your Life Is Ordinary Your present world isn’t supposed to be this small. You were made for something much bigger. And no, you don’t have to be an astronaut, or even a Star Wars fan, to live it. Finding God in a Galaxy Far, Far Away is not about space travel, or even a movie. It’s about rediscovering your sense of wonder—something we adults have successfully squelched from our everyday lives. But God never meant it to be that way. Timothy Jones, by way of an astounding, eye-opening study of the spiritual parallels found in the Star Wars saga, will make you a kid again. You’ll be marveling at the mysterious, laughing anew at life’s “coincidences,” and remembering above all the Creator for which you were made. May the True Force Be with You Remember when Star Wars first captured your imagination? How your longing for adventure propelled you to distant worlds and transformed you into a Jedi knight faster than you could say, “Luke, I am your father”? This same longing, once sparked by John Williams’s triumphant score and fanned by Darth Vader’s sweeping black cape, is your ticket to life’s greatest adventure. Join Timothy Paul Jones on an astounding, eye-opening exploration of the spiritual themes in the Star Wars saga and the truth will become clear: Like young Luke Skywalker, you were also made for more—much more. Rediscover awe. Revel in the wonder of every moment. And pursue all you were meant to be. It is your destiny. "The Force is strong with this one. I could not recommend it more." Joshua Griffin, Editor/Owner, TheForce.Net Manager, Purpose Driven Youth Ministry “If you own a lightsaber—or a Bible—you’re sure to benefit from reading his book.” Kevin Miller, author and reviewer HollywoodJesus.com “‘Awe-some’ reading that both delights and challenges us. A fun and thoughtful book for Christians who consider and enjoy popular culture and media.” Robert W. Pazmino Valeria Stone Professor of Christian Education, Andover Newton Theological School Story Behind the Book “The night I first saw Star Wars from the backseat of my parents’ Ford Pinto was the first night I experienced awe. It sent me on a quest that continues today. There is, in every one of us, a longing to touch ‘the forever,’ to sense the magnitude of the vastness in which we live. This universal longing explains why we ride roller coasters and tell scary stories. This universal longing for awe also explains why, after nearly thirty years, the popularity of the Star Wars saga shows no sign of subsiding. I wrote this book to inspire readers to relish awe and wonder because God did not only create us to long for awe, but also to live in it!” —Timothy Jones

Download or read book Finding God s Peace in Everyday Challenges written by Heidi Bratton and published by The Word Among Us Press. This book was released on 2015-09-01 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For those who choose the way of Jesus Christ, peace is not only possible but to be expected. Peace, in fact, is a part of the package deal of the Catholic faith, because the Lord Jesus himself is our peace. In one hundred short meditations, author Heidi Bratton leads women to consider how they can live out the peace that Christ promises: in their homes, finances, jobs, parishes, and in their relationships with their spouses, families, and children. Her real-life examples show us that peace can be lived in difficult and challenging circumstances. Each meditation ends with a heartfelt prayer. Even when our faith is strong, we can struggle with staying peaceful. This book is a constant reminder that peace is a gift from God, something that we can ask for and receive every day of our lives.
