This book was released on 2021-01-13 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Hell to Haven; Darkness to light; Negativity to Positivity; and from Cradle to Salvation, Life Journey is principally my life journey from South Sudan to Kenya and ultimately to the United States, where I was able to go to college and, in the process, was enlightened and brought into union with God. In other words, it’s the journey from that sense of being lost in spirit as a result of the initial separation from God in the garden, so to speak, two thousand years ago. After many years of having been dead in the spirit and doing what the dead in spirit do, which is being in the state of drunkenness most of the time or venturing in the ways of fools, I found God within who helped me understand what life is all about. Many years ago in South Sudan, I never would have imagined that this divine revelation would ever happen to me. I never knew that when I would come to the United States, God would show himself to me and change my life and bestow me with the gift of the Holy Spirit. I never knew even coming to the United States, let alone the revelation of himself to me. Finally, his love for us—his love for us is ever lasting and enduring. God’s love for us is inseparable. He loves us more, and he wants us to love each other in return. Love being the final stage in life, God wants to teach us to love one another just like he loved us and freed us from the grip of sins and death and bathed us with his love. This is the love of God for me. The manifestation of his love is the basis for this book.

Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness.

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 Hating God written by Bernard Schweizer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2010-11-04 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While atheists such as Richard Dawkins have now become public figures, there is another and perhaps darker strain of religious rebellion that has remained out of sight--people who hate God. In this revealing book, Bernard Schweizer looks at men and women who do not question God's existence, but deny that He is merciful, competent, or good. Sifting through a wide range of literary and historical works, Schweizer finds that people hate God for a variety of reasons. Some are motivated by social injustice, human suffering, or natural catastrophes that God does not prevent. Some blame God for their personal tragedies. Schweizer concludes that, despite their blasphemous thoughts, these people tend to be creative and moral individuals, and include such literary lights as Friedrich Nietzsche, Mark Twain, Zora Neale Hurston, Rebecca West, Elie Wiesel, and Philip Pullman. Schweizer shows that literature is a fertile ground for God haters. Many authors, who dare not voice their negative attitude to God openly, turn to fiction to give vent to it. Indeed, Schweizer provides many new and startling readings of literary masterpieces, highlighting the undercurrent of hatred for God. Moreover, by probing the deeper mainsprings that cause sensible, rational, and moral beings to turn against God, Schweizer offers answers to some of the most vexing questions that beset human relationships with the divine.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not a Fan has already called more than one million readers to consider the demands and rewards of being a true disciple--moving from fan to follower in their relationship with Jesus. After years of serving God, pastor and bestselling author Kyle Idleman had a startling revelation: for too long, he had been living as a fan of Jesus; someone who tried to make Christianity seem as appealing, comfortable, and convenient as he possibly could to others. Idleman decided something had to change--he needed to embark on the journey of becoming a completely committed follower of God, not just a fan. Fans want to be close enough to Jesus to get all the benefits, but not so close that it requires sacrifice, while followers are all in and completely committed to Christ. Not a Fan gives you the tools you need to determine exactly where you stand when it comes to your relationship with Jesus. No matter where you are in your walk with Christ, Not a Fan calls you to consider the demands and rewards of being a true disciple. With frankness and a touch of humor, Idleman invites you to: Examine your relationship with God Determine if you're following Jesus or just following the rules Pray the way Jesus prayed Start truly living for the one who gave his all for you This expanded and updated version of Not a Fan also includes a new introduction and an entirely new chapter about how to practically live out the book's core message. Join Idleman as he challenges you to take an honest look at your relationship with Jesus and discover what it really means to be a follower.
