God’s Acorn shows how she overcame poverty, despite the statistics that show many welfare mothers remain receiving government stipends for life. Illness is pervasive in the welfare community due to a lack of medical services.

Her book focuses on the influences that dominated her will to move forward despite the cards that had been dealt to her.

Book excerpt: Each WORD from God is like an acorn fallen from the oak tree ready to take root and grow new life. In this creative endeavor, I have compiled 40 words which I feel have the power to challenge, affirm, and strengthen every seeker who is willing to travel this journey. These words are not to be read from beginning to end like any other book. Rather prayerfully ask God for which WORD you NEED. And when guided to that word, let it soak into your heart. Let it breathe within you. Live with it for awhile. This resource has helped me to crawl into the acorn and really dwell with the word. Inside, I found a sacred place where my spirit would find quiet rest and adventure. When all else around me was confused and agitated here I would find peace and like the acorn I grew! May these words bring you ever closer to the ONE who created you and desires for you more than you could ever imagine! ******* In reading the introduction to this wonderful book, I was visibly moved by the words I was reading. There is a power and a peace in opening a page of Pattis book and letting it take the reader into a quiet place. Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest. (Mk.6:31) This is a book that is like a well of spiritual refreshment ready for you to dive into its soothing depths at any reading. TOM PETERSON Executive Director, ACTS Missions, San Antonio, Tx.

Download or read book Mere Catholicism written by Daniel Agatino and published by Sunbury Press, Inc.. This book was released on 2018-12-08 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Author: C. S. Lewis’ Mere Christianity is the obvious inspiration for the title of this book. In that book, Lewis uses the example of a person standing in a hall that is lined on both sides by rooms: Each room represents a different Christian tradition. He wanted to get readers into the hallway and let them choose for themselves whether to enter Christianity by the door of Anglicanism, Catholicism, and so forth. Mere Christianity brilliantly focuses on what essentially all Christians agree upon; namely the Creed, the canon of the New Testament, etc. However, many of the great controversies between Protestants and Catholics are purposely not discussed. There were ecumenical reasons for avoiding topics like papal primacy, purgatory, Marian devotions, and so forth. But, by avoiding these sorts of topics, Mere Christianity can be read as Mere Protestantism. I wrote Mere Catholicism to address some of those missing topics. Even though I am both intellectually and emotionally convinced of the truth of Catholic Christianity, I am indebted to C. S. Lewis (an Anglican) for helping me better understand how Christianity offers the most compelling raison d’être. His work and I hope my own is an exploration of “faith seeking understanding,” to quote St. Anselm of Canterbury. Contents: PrefaceIntroduction: Christianity in the Third Millennium1.

Download or read book Getting Well God s Way written by Kathy Bates and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-04-06 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When her health failed she did what most Christians do; went forward for prayer and began seeing doctors. After 18 months, 11 doctors, and lots of prayer, she was worse, much worse. So she canceled all medical appointments, cried out to God, and was taken on an amazing journey. God helped her understand that it's pointless for Him to heal someone who doesn't know what's making them sick. Today she's well and hasn't been to a mainstream medical doctor for illness since 1989, though she is a grateful benefactor of their surgical skills post-trauma. Even then the knowledge she'd acquired helped her avoid pitfalls and enhance her recovery beyond the limits of mainstream medicine. Health is Wealth Back Cover of Book: In 1986 my seasonal allergies progressed in severity and became year-round while under a specialist's care. After pregnancy in late 1987 premenstrual symptoms were raging 25 days out of each month, including dramatic mood swings, infertility, and severe depression. This too was under the care of three doctors. In 1988 I was diagnosed with Advanced Cervical Degenerative Disc Disease and told by several doctors that my neck would be fused by 1992. Severe digestive issues and recurrent infections also became part of the mystery. I was told I'd need rotator cuff surgery for a shoulder that dislocated often and included severe episodes of bursitis. And in 1989 a diagnosis of Hashimoto's, an autoimmune thyroid disease, was added to the list. I had lots of names for my conditions, dismal predictions, illogical explanations, and no solutions until I canceled all my medical appointments and sought God. About the Author: Today Kathy is well and hasn't been to a mainstream medical doctor for illness since 1989. Kathy Bates is a licensed massage therapist utilizing many tools to bring improved health and appearance to her clients. She lives in Austin, Texas with her Mom, sister and two gorgeous, formerly stray, cats. A second book on reversing chronic pain is in the planning stage. This information became vital after a broken spine and subsequent injury that left her in intense pain for 11 years. Again, she is now well. "I can say with certainty that a timid, compliant person, who needs the approval of others would have failed in this mission. We should thank God for those who question the status quo, those who Steve Jobs says, "push the human race forward." Pam H. "The book is well written, intriguing, informative, comforting, alarming, and important." Kim T.
