Download or read book The Best Life written by Sue Westrum and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2018-06-04 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The good life" - a commonly used phrase - touts the satisfaction found in certain kinds of shoes, vinyl siding for your house, soft drinks, and even cigars. Sue not only challenges the reader with a realistic understanding of the good life but through interesting and convicting stories of how God worked in the life of a city girl - changing and molding her to begin to reflect His image and in the lives of the Berik people of Indonesian New Guinea, calling those He chose in eternity past to glorify and worship Him. Sue enables the reader to understand The Best Life, a life of healing and forgiveness, experiencing God's peace and knowing His joy. God gave Sue and her husband the distinct privilege of watching Him and having Him work through them to change a jungle society. She relates how God loved and prepared her to fulfill His plans for her, even using shattering childhood events and a man of the jungle to teach her. God implanted in her attributes that enabled her to thrive in situations for which she felt inadequate, situations that are 180 degrees different from her life before Peter. Through exciting and powerful eyewitness accounts, she leads the reader, showing how God used four academic disciplines anthropology, linguistics, literacy, and translation - to impact a formerly unreached people group and to give them the New Testament in their own language. Sue raises these questions: "Was it worth it to leave my own culture to struggle in another culture, to risk the lives of our children with tropical disease, to suffer through the agony of exotic illnesses like malaria and dengue fever, to live with all of God's creatures in our house, to be separated from family and lifelong friends - not even being there when Peter's dad passed away? Is it really worth it to trust in Jesus, to surrender to Him, to commit to following Him, to obey Him, to thank Him - no matter what?" Answering these questions is what this book is all about, challenging you whether you are young or old, male or female, are seeking to know Jesus or are searching for His will and plan for you to find and accept The Best Life.

Download or read book Leaps of Faith written by Robert J. Dean and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2017-02-14 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you are passionate about participating in the recovery of preaching for the spiritual formation of God's people, then you will want to jump into this lively collection of biblically rigorous, culturally intuitive, grace-drenched sermons. Robert Dean sets the bar very high, even as he throws the gauntlet down, with these remarkable expressions of all that preaching was supposed to be and can still become. Animated by the conviction that the preached word is the playground of the Living Word, the pages of Leaps of Faith are populated by saints and sinners, pimps and prophets. Unexpectedly and delightfully, Bono works alongside Bonhoeffer, Dr. Phil learns a lesson from the Amish, and a discussion of body odor primes the senses for contemplating the mission of God. Rooted deeply in the lives of actual worshipping communities, these wonder-laden sermons from the prophetic imagination of an emerging pastor-theologian dare the reader to leap into the continuing story of the Triune God and, in doing so, discover that all of life has been taken up in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Download or read book Advancing the Ball written by N. Jeremi Duru and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2011-01-07 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the NFL's desegregation in 1946, opportunities became increasingly plentiful for African American players--but not African American coaches. Although Major League Baseball and the NBA made progress in this regard over the years, the NFL's head coaches were almost exclusively white up until the mid-1990s. Advancing the Ball chronicles the campaign of former Cleveland Browns offensive lineman John Wooten to right this wrong and undo decades of discriminatory head coach hiring practices--an initiative that finally bore fruit when he joined forces with attorneys Cyrus Mehri and Johnnie Cochran. Together with a few allies, the triumvirate galvanized the NFL's African American assistant coaches to stand together for equal opportunity and convinced the league to enact the "Rooney Rule," which stipulates that every team must interview at least one minority candidate when searching for a new head coach. In doing so, they spurred a movement that would substantially impact the NFL and, potentially, the nation. Featuring an impassioned foreword by Coach Tony Dungy, Advancing the Ball offers an eye-opening, first-hand look at how a few committed individuals initiated a sea change in America's most popular sport and added an extraordinary new chapter to the civil rights story.

Teaching a bunch of hormonal teenagers to waltz is trying, but the school's sexy handyman provides ample distraction. Drew McPhee is perfect, except for one thing: He doesn't like dancing.

Download or read book The Jade Cat written by Suzanne Brogger and published by Random House. This book was released on 2012-09-30 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning with the great-grandfather Isidor Levin and his emigration from Poland in the 19th century, his establishment of The Royal Danish Distillery - creators of the famous Danish snaps - and the family's successful assimilation in Denmark, the story follows the children and grandchildren, as they look for successes in Denmark and abroad, in business and within the arts. Suzanne Brogger's family saga takes us from Denmark to Riga and back, through two World Wars, to India and Afghanistan, to America as it was and as it is, and it takes us through boarding schools, mental hospitals, and almshouses for the poor. At the heart of the narrative is the grandmother, Katze, and her memories. She tells the story from her patrician apartment in Copenhagen's Gammel M-nt 14, where she has lived since the 1940s, and her story is a haunting portrait of the pride, conceitedness, grandness, and despair, that has followed the Levin family while the world outside the old apartment gradually fell apart. The family remains prey to drug addiction and suicide attempts. Some escape into sex, others into evangelical politics or religion. Regn becomes a UN diplomat in the Third World, his wife tries to kill their son, while their daughter serves her sexual apprenticeship in a Thai monastery-brothel and after a brief period of social acceptability, ends her days a bag lady in Copenhagen. As diverse and uncompromising as William Styron's Sophie's Choice and Isabel Allende's House of the Spirits. To have conjured up a cast of grotesques and rendered them sympathetic is a challenge that Suzanne Brogger has triumphantly brought off. .

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With determined grace and a steely dignity, George Herbert Walker Bush spent more than 40 years devoted to public service: First as a naval airman - he would be the last president to serve in World War II - and later as UN Ambassador, chairman of the Republican Party, head of the CIA, vice president under Ronald Reagan, and finally the 41st President of the United States. Bush would serve one term, leaving office in 1993. Yet he would never leave the American political landscape: as the father of the 43rd president, George W. Bush, and through continued commitment to volunteerism and philanthropy, he and his wife of 76 years, Barbara, remained in the public eye. Now, in this commemorative edition from TIME, an unmatched team of journalists and essayists, including Pulitzer Prize winners, and current and former correspondents, examine and honor the life and legacy of George H.W. Bush. He was known for many things, including his expert knowledge of foreign policy, and his "gentle touch" to world affairs during the end of the Cold War; his love of practical jokes as well as his appreciation for the personal, handwritten note, which became one of his hallmarks. Practical and driven to action, Bush's commitment to core values cemented the enduring friendships that he would keep with members of his cabinet as well as with the presidents who followed him. This remarkable keepsake edition traces Bush from his early upbringing to his final years, looking at his strengths and weaknesses as a leader and his dimensions as a person.
