Download or read book Divine Timing written by Bill Vincent and published by RWG Publishing. This book was released on 2024-03-12 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In "Divine Timing: Understanding God's Perfect Plan for Your Life," readers are invited to explore the profound concept of God's timing and its impact on our daily lives. This insightful book delves into the often-overlooked truth that God’s timing, though mysterious, is always perfect. Through a series of engaging narratives and biblical references, the author illuminates the significance of aligning ourselves with God's timeline, rather than our own. Drawing from everyday examples, such as the patience required in cooking a meal to perfection, the book makes the abstract concept of divine timing tangible and relatable. It challenges the reader to consider how impatience and a desire for immediate gratification can lead us astray, using the analogy of a bus stop to illustrate how rushing ahead or lagging behind can disrupt God's plan for us. "Divine Timing" also tackles the difficulties of waiting and the struggle to trust in God’s plan, especially when His schedule doesn't align with our expectations. It provides a fresh perspective on waiting periods as not just idle time, but as opportunities for growth and preparation for what’s to come. The book culminates in a powerful reflection on the biblical story of Jesus and Jerusalem, serving as a stark reminder of the consequences of missing our appointed time with God. It emphasizes the importance of being receptive and responsive to God’s guidance, avoiding the pitfalls of haste and impatience. Perfect for anyone seeking spiritual growth or struggling with the concept of divine timing, this book offers a comforting assurance that while we may not always understand God's ways, we can trust that He is working for our good. It’s a call to embrace the journey of faith, with all its twists and turns, trusting that in the end, we will arrive exactly where we're meant to be, exactly when we're meant to be there.

And what does trusting God really look like? Sharon, Mary, and Gwen—the Girlfriends in God ministry team—have been there. They’ve traveled the tough roads of life to discover the peace and power that comes from grabbing the hand of God and trusting his plan. The life stories they share bring laughter and sometimes tears, but always spiritual growth. Each of the 12-week sections concludes with a Bible study guide and journal page, inviting you to lock arms with Sharon, Mary, and Gwen and share with other women in a small group setting or to use individually in your own quiet time.

Download or read book Lies We Believe About God written by Wm. Paul Young and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-03-07 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of the bestselling novel The Shack and the New York Times bestsellers Cross Roads and Eve comes a compelling, conversational exploration of twenty-eight assumptions about God—assumptions that just might be keeping us from experiencing His unconditional, all-encompassing love. In his wildly popular novels, Wm. Paul Young portrayed the Triune God in ways that challenged our thinking—sometimes upending long-held beliefs, but always centered in the eternal, all-encompassing nature of God’s love. Now, in Wm. Paul Young’s first nonfiction book, he invites us to revisit our assumptions about God—this time using the Bible, theological discussion, and personal anecdotes. Paul encourages us to think through beliefs we’ve presumed to be true and consider whether some might actually be false. Expounding on the compassion fans felt from the “Papa” portrayed in The Shack—now a major film starring Sam Worthington and Octavia Spencer—Paul encourages you to think anew about important issues including sin, religion, hell, politics, identity, creation, human rights, and helping us discover God’s deep and abiding love.
