Download or read book Finding God in the Mirror written by Sharon A. Lewis and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2008-10 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finding God in the Mirror deals with the mental and spiritual struggle we experience in confronting the need for change in our lives and finding our way back to an intimate relationship with God. Part One of this book talks about the importance of knowing who you are in God's eyes as opposed to the eyes of the world and encourages people to break away from the commonality of the world and to embrace peculiarity in the spirit. I reflect on different influences in the world that cause us to fall short of God's glory in our lives, such as fame, popularity, and materialism. I also focus on our failure to sacrifice old ways, lack of devotion to prayer and the downfall of seeking fulfillment in the arms of others instead of in the arms of God. Part Two of this book is dedicated to the acknowledgement of God's faithfulness. God is an attainable being who not only has all power and dominion in His hands but has more love in His heart than any other being.

Book excerpt: I was still standing in the ocean in the midst of the moonlight. In a far distance, I dimly saw layers of long white waves rushing toward me. The white waves looked like a march of cavalry soldiers dressed in white uniforms marching toward the enemy. In my mind, I ran out to the cavalry soldiers and joined them on the back row as a rookie. The general commanding the cavalry on the front line gave an order. “The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So, let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.” [Roman 13:12] The General, on a white horse, led the cavalry soldiers, piercing through the arrows, toward the enemy line, shouting vigorously. “To victory!” Following the general, I shout out aloud along with other soldiers. “To victory!” And impetuously I recited the Bible verses that came into my mind. “I saw Heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice He judges and wages war.” [Revelation 19:11] The new soldiers continued to join, and the General with the white horse stood still, crying. “To victory!” “To victory!”

Download or read book Win from Within written by John Gray and published by FaithWords. This book was released on 2018-10-30 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mega-Pastor and media personality John Gray uses powerful Biblical principles to help you become your best self -- the person God created you to be. In Win FromWithin, John Gray helps readers identify how best to handle the most difficult, challenging and yet necessary battle that we all face-our inner struggle to overcome the worst versions of ourselves. He offers biblical lessons to aid in combatting bad habits and limiting patterns so that the best version of ourselves emerges. Win FromWithin gives practical application to the story recorded in Genesis of Jacob wrestling with the man at the River Jabbok, and through it readers will learn how to become the persons they were created to be. The persons God intended each of us to be develops as we face our inner battles. With examples from his own life as well as his ministerial counseling, Gray provides a pathway to awakening. He includes strategies for confronting the past, how we have been labeled, who people have said we are, even who we think we are, so that we can win the battle and be who God intends us to be. Jacob spent much of his life running and hiding from himself. At a certain point we, like Jacob, cannot run from our true selves anymore. We must stop and face ourselves if we are to become great. Win FromWithin helps us conquer our inner darkness and overcome such hindrances as fear, shame and guilt. This powerfully biblical self-help guide will push us toward victory over our inner struggles. Winning will make us the persons we have always wanted to be, the persons we have dreamed about becoming, the persons God created us to be.

As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J.

Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.

Download or read book Aesop s Mirror written by Maryalice Huggins and published by Sarah Crichton Books. This book was released on 2010-02-15 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Everything I needed to know about Fox and Grapes mirror, I knew the moment I first saw it" What antiques restorer Maryalice Huggins knew when she stumbled across the mirror at a country auction in Rhode Island was this: She was besotted. Rococo and huge (more than eight feet tall), the mirror was one of the most unusual objects she had ever seen. Huggins had to have it. The frame's elaborate carvings were almost identical to a famous eighteenth-century design. Could this be eighteenth-century American? That would make it rare indeed. But in the rarefied world of American antiques, an object is not significant unless you can prove where it's from. Huggins set out to trace the origins of her magnificent mirror. Fueled with the delightfully obsessive spirit of Susan Orlean's The Orchid Thief, Aesop's Mirror follows Huggins on her quest as she goes up against the leading lights of the very male world of high-end antiques and dives into the historical archives. And oh, what she finds there! The mirror was likely passed down through generations of the illustrious Brown family of Providence, Rhode Island. Throughout history, mirrors have been seen as having mystical powers, enabling those who peer into them to connect the past and the future. In Aesop's Mirror, Maryalice Huggins does just that, creating a marvelous, one-of-kind book about a marvelous, one of-a-kind American treasure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We wouldn't use a "funhouse" mirror that distorts our reflection or a broken mirror that impairs our image to apply makeup or style our hair. Why, then, do we use the worldly mirrors of others' opinions and our own presumptuous thoughts to view our inner selves? These types of mirrors not only give us a false perception of ourselves, but they wound us and hold us captive by the reflected ugliness of fear, guilt, worry, condemnation, and perfectionism. Many of us see and feel the paralyzing effects of these ugly burdens, but we have no idea how to take them off. Consequently, So we continually live in the destructive trap of insecurity knowing deep down there is more to life than what we are experiencing. Seeing Yourself in the Mirror of Truth illuminates this destructive impact that deception and lies have on your identity. Not only will you become acquainted with the truth that sets you free from this trap, but you will be taught how to tame, shape, and polish your personality using God's mirror. Just like you partner with the mirror each morning to polish your appearance, you will learn how to partner with God through His Word to see and remove your ugly insecurities as you willingly let God transform you into a beautiful woman in Jesus Christ. Are you ready to look into the Mirror of Truth?
