Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is There Anything Too hard for God?Hurricane Harvey was a Category 4 storm that viciously struck Texas and Louisiana in August 2017. It caused unprecipitated flooding and deaths. In a four-day period, many areas received more than 40 inches of rain as the system slowly made its way over eastern Texas and adjacent waters. The resulting floods inundated hundreds of thousands of homes, which displaced more than 30,000 people and prompted more than 17,000 rescues. In the book God is Real, first-time author, Maria Flores, recounts a harrowing nightmare of being alone with her two children as water overtook the streets of her neighborhood and flooded their home. When the rescuers could not reach them, Flores said her own brother waded through the dirty water to get them to safe ground. From there, an abundance of people provided her and her family with bountiful blessings. She says, "God bless all my angels. That's what I call every individual who gave us a hand and hope through Hurricane Harvey. God is real, His angels are real, and they are everywhere. God reveals Himself to us every day, through events, through people, and through miracles. When we accept Jesus in our heart, we let God work through us."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book raises in a straightforward fashion the faith-related questions that the victims/survivors of natural disasters have as a result of this experience. Is the disaster an "act of God?" Did God cause the disaster? If God is all powerful, why did God allow it to happen? The author then goes on to argue that God is active in our questions, confusions, and doubts, as well as in those who help - either individually or as communities of faith. He discusses the dynamics of the caregiver/care receiver relationship from the perspective of the care receiver to provide insights into how natural disaster victims can face an uncertain future with hope and faith. A final chapter for caregivers provides help for the emotional and spiritual health of those who assist others in times of disaster. Appendices provide practical, close-to-the-ground tools.

Download or read book The Most Beautiful Disaster written by Hope Carpenter and published by FaithWords. This book was released on 2021-05-04 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hope Carpenter opens up about her personal struggles that nearly destroyed her family, her church, and her ministry, but then God did something miraculous—out of her brokenness, He made something beautiful. As co-pastor of one of the nation's largest megachurches, Hope Carpenter had perfected the roles of supportive wife, good mother, devoted worship leader, and dutiful homemaker. But inside, she was secretly ashamed, sad, and afraid. She didn't know who she was, and she didn't know how to ask for help without bringing down the whole façade. A series of bad choices led to multiple affairs; her husband kicked her out and announced from the pulpit of their church that their marriage was over. Hope was sure her life was done. But in her lowest moments, something beautiful happened. God met her there, and, with a lot of hard work, time, and mountains of therapy, she started to understand the pain that had caused her to act out. She and her family faced their brokenness together, and in powerful acts of forgiveness only God could have arranged, they all found real breakthrough and healing. Ron and Hope rebuilt their marriage and their family, and their ministry thrives today. In The Most Beautiful Disaster, Hope helps readers understand the lasting impact of childhood trauma and gives readers practical steps to uncovering the root of pain in their own lives. She shows how small decisions can lead to big changes, and helps readers find healing and wholeness in Scripture and prayer. Ultimately, readers will be led to hope, reconciliation, and true freedom.
