Download or read book Grace Period written by Melinda Worth Popham and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2017-03-09 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author Melinda Worth Popham left home for Yale Divinity School at age fifty-six after a barrage of painful life events brought her to her knees and led to the discovery that pain is the Miracle Gro of spiritual growth. Grace Period recounts the spiritual journey launched by the break-up of her marriage and her teenage daughters descent into an intractable depression that led to an Ivy League seminary, not in pursuit of ordination to ministry but quite simply to her plain old ordinary sacred self. Wise, honest, and unexpectedly humorous, Grace Period is not only about Pophams study of God but about Gods education of her. In this impeccably written memoir, Popham ... proves herself a highbrow, refined spiritual sister to Anne Lamott. Publishers Weekly (starred review) Anyone who has suffered, or lives with a modicum of spiritual curiosity, will want to press this book into the hands of a friend.

Download or read book Resounding Pulse written by Joanna French and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-10-29 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: So often, we read the Bible out of duty rather than love—if we read it at all. Don’t you want more? People in the Bible are more than just characters in stories; they are real historical figures from whom we can learn. Often, we allow their distance in time to affect how we see them. What would happen if we stopped allowing these people to be fairytales and claimed for ourselves the power of their testimonies and the wisdom they gleaned? What would change in us if we could find not only a new outlook on these men and women but on the God who they loved? Resounding Pulse will empower you to do just that. Join Joanna as she walks through the lives of many Bible legends, their joys, their struggles, and how the lessons from their experiences are applicable in our own lives. Its eclectic style reads like a devotional but with a splash of personal testimony and encouragement. This journey, if you are willing to go all in, will enable you to identify and unlock the power of a heart that echoes our Savior. Let’s go, let’s grow!

Download or read book From Grace to Glory written by Naomi Ruth Jones Kilpatrick and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2017-04-04 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book chronicles a life long journey of stunning and tragic events. It took some five plus years of a "backward glance" to describe that journey. It begins within the doors of a small, seemingly insignificant church on the south side of Chicago where "ordinary people" did extraordinary things; a little assembly of believers gathered together in the Lord's name. The church had been founded by an icon, a giant in the Christian community named B. M. Nottage, who started, along with his brothers, several assemblies in Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, and other cities. This book, "From Grace to Glory", gives a vivid picture of the marvelous grace of God and his unbounded, unlimited mercy through great tragedy and devastating losses. Read the shocking "unpleasant history" of this little church, and its' resilience through it all. Laugh out loud in "A Little Bit About A Lot of Things", as you look at Bob Hope's jokes and Mae West's one-liners. Read the jaw-dropping "You in six words" from Oprah Winfrey. Go back to another era of great books, outstanding movies, and awe-inspiring music. Share in the great pride of cultural icons who contributed so much to our country and ultimately to the whole world. Don't miss the chapter on the "Onslaught of Nines", where you will discover unknown facts, or surprising facts, or maybe "not-new facts", or just affirmation for the people, places, and things. You will wonder what is the "Fine As Wine In the Summertime" chapter all about? And then, this book gives a vivid picture of the great love and the deep ties of family; a family with an ancestor who could not read or write, but amassed a fortune in land and property. Love of family runs through this family whether you are rich and famous, or poor and needy, or somewhere in between. All families can affirm this, but this book tells it in a different way, in a different format. By reading "From Grace to Glory ... A little Bit About A Lot of Things", we are reminded of what is important in life. We are encouraged by the dear ones who have gone on before us. We can build on that strong love, that strong foundation that has been left, and we can trust our God to take us from His grace to His glory as we continue on life's journey.
