Download or read book Happiness written by Randy Alcorn and published by NavPress. This book was released on 2015-09-17 with total page 575 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you ever wonder whether God even cares if we’re happy? This world can be so hard, and we aren’t promised an easy road. But that’s not the whole story. The Bible is filled with verses that prove that ours is a God who not only loves celebrations but also desperately wants his children to experience happiness. Why else would he go to the lengths he did to ensure our eternal happiness in his presence? We know that we will experience unimaginable joy and happiness in heaven, but that doesn’t mean we can’t also experience joy and happiness here on earth. In Happiness, noted theologian Randy Alcorn (bestselling author of Heaven) dispels centuries of misconceptions about happiness, including downright harmful ideas like the prosperity gospel, and provides indisputable proof that God not only wants us to be happy, he commands it. Randy covers questions like: How can I cultivate happiness in my life? What’s the difference between joy and happiness? Can good things become idols that steal our happiness? Is seeking happiness selfish? How can I achieve happiness through gratitude? What does it look like to receive God’s grace? The most definitive study on the subject of happiness to date, this book is a paradigm-shifting wake-up call for the church and Christians everywhere.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bestselling author, cofounder of Girlfriends in God, and writer for Proverbs 31 Ministries Sharon Jaynes reveals the secret to living a better story: understanding that the worst parts of our past are the very things God uses most. Many people don't like the story God is writing in their lives. The mistakes, failures, tragedies, and circumstances outside of our control linger in our minds and hold us back. How do we come to grips with the pieces of our stories that we wish weren't there? How do we silence the pain of what has been done to us and the shame of what we've allowed to be done through us? In When You Don't Like Your Story, Bible teacher Sharon Jaynes shows us how God untangles our most painful emotions with the fingers of grace, putting his redemption on display. In the hardest parts of our narratives, we get to see God's greatest work--and this changes the ending of our stories. As we overcome shame, offer forgiveness, and use our stories to help others, we find freedom from the past and learn to live in the restoration of the present.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Be drawn into the epic adventure of experiencing God’s plan. This isn’t your typical sex, alcohol, drugs, and obey-your-parents devotional Bible. Instead, it takes an honest look at the messiness of living in a broken world and walking with God through it. Daily readings and book introductions for every book of the Bible paint a picture of the reality that the Bible teaches—that there is more going on in the world than meets the eye. As you explore what it means to have God himself living inside of you, you will learn how to hear his voice, follow his lead, and recognize him in the good, true, and beautiful in the world. The Great Rescue focuses on intimacy with God and a relationship with him in every area of life. The Bible tells us that God had a plan from the beginning of time, and that we were created for a purpose: to fulfill a unique role in his kingdom. It also tells us that there is a very real conflict going on in our broken world between God and his archenemy. God wants us to be a part of his grand story. He wants us to walk so closely with him that we begin to understand his way of life and to participate in the narrative that is God’s story. It's much more than a new way to act. It’s a new way to see. Devotionals from YW Magazine, an eight-time winner of EPA editorial awards of excellence.

Download or read book Love Sex and Happily Ever After written by Craig Groeschel and published by Multnomah. This book was released on 2011-12-14 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do you do if you want a marriage that doesn’t just survive, but thrives? That doesn’t just begin romantically but ends magnificently? Answer: You do something different. You’ve seen marriages fail time and again. Even relationships you thought were bulletproof don’t last–or maybe worse—fade away to a cold, gray lovelessness. It’s no wonder that for today’s generation, “getting what you want” is often a substitute for love, and disillusionment about marriage is the new normal. But you can have a long-term, love-blessed marriage. Whether you’re still considering it, are about to be wed, or have been married for a while and want to make changes, Love, Sex & Happily Ever After delivers an infusion of hope. Author Craig Groeschel clearly and honestly lays out the choices and commitments you can make now to change the way you think and act—to build the relationship you want for the rest of your life. With an invigorating mix of personal story, practical guidance and biblical truth, Craig invites you into a candid conversation about first dates, sex, communication, integrity, forgiveness, and commitment. Along the way, he shows how you can build a soul-enriching, God-honoring relationship with the one you love…and believe together again in your very own “happily ever after.” Previously released as Going All the Way
Download or read book The Mystery of Life What S It All About written by David E. Peeples and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2018-03-15 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever seriously considered the most difficult and puzzling questions presented to our minds during this mortal sojourn through an often difficult and challenging existence? Who am I? Where did I come from? Why am I here? Where am I going? And perhaps the most important question of all: What is my purpose for living? In this ultra-modern, digital world of today many people have become so preoccupied with the daily pursuits of life and the addictive overuse of time-consuming technology that many of them rarely pause to seriously consider what life is actually all about. In writing The Mystery of Life it has been my hope and my goal to personally challenge each reader to consider many relevant facts and to follow a line of evidence pointing toward a worldview that is often overlooked and too easily marginalized. We live in an aggressive, technology-driven world where the wild pursuit of power, prestige, possession, and pleasure has become the driving influence ruling over many of our lives. What does your worldview look like? Is there enough evidence to support it beyond reasonable doubt? If not, then I invite you to consider a vast body of mounting evidence that could lead toward a more accurate discernment of an often confusing existence. The view of life that we have each come to know will strongly influence everything we do, say, and become in this world. Based on a remarkable consensus of evidence, perhaps we should consider a worldview understanding that will ultimately avail our hearts and minds of the personal fulfillment and satisfaction we have always longed for and often dreamed of. We owe it to ourselves to seriously consider where the evidence is leading us. Isnt it about time to discover the answers to our most persistent and pressing questions. The Mystery of Life is presented as a literary expose addressing the questions of origin, meaning, morality and destiny.

Book excerpt: Stop wasting time on all of the wrong Mr. Rights. Your Mr. Man of God is waiting. The person you marry is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. It will determine a lot about your future. This choice is too often made without first consulting God. Marrying Mr. Man of God provides an example of how to have ears to hear God's instruction and a heart that follows it faithfully. It gives you the courage you need to defy the world's idea of dating and exchange it for a goldy, prosperous, and effective future. John 10:1 describes God as "THE GOOD SHEPHERD" for a reason. He sees things we cannot. He knows our future, and best of all, He writes our story. But following God's plan when it doesn't look like the one we've designed takes a bold, brave, leap of faith. In this book, you will find inspiration and encouragement to take the plunge into the plans of Christ. It's easy to become discouraged in the wait. The time between trusting God and receiving your promise can be a constant struggle between what you believe and what you see. Do not give up hope! God has a happily ever after written just for you too. This is a journey, not a fairytale. This is a miracle, not make-believe. This is a reality, not a romantic novel. This is a love story. It won't begin with once upon a time, but it does have a happily ever after- not because it will all be perfect, but because it will all be held together by a perfect God.
