Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever asked, "God, why me?" Christians often share of the goodness of God, his grace, his mercy, his sacrifice, and his unconditional love. When they share the trials and tribulations they experience, they share as if their faith and belief in God were unwavering. Often, Christians lack transparency; they suppress the truth of their spiritual struggles when sharing with others their relationship with God. He Had to Break Me to Bless Me is about the personal journey of a Christian woman that lost her faith and belief in God following personal tragedies in her life. She questioned why she had to endure such pain and heartache. Where was God in the midst of her suffering? Why did God allow bad things to happen to good people? During the darkest times in her life, she was angry with God and felt as if God had robbed and cheated her, leaving her lonely and abandoned. Each chapter uncovers her emotional journey from being lost to being restored. Through her journey, she explores and exposes how the question of "God, why me?" is answered; while challenging believers to engage in a personal inventory of their preparedness to enter the kingdom of God. She introduces nonbelievers to Jesus Christ by sharing her testimony of spiritual immaturity to spiritual wholeness. From her personal journey of restoration, individuals will gain an understanding that there is a blessing in all trials and tribulations. All that is endured in life is according to God's divine purpose and plan for your life. After reading this book, you will have renewed faith and hope, realizing that God must break you to bless you and the blessing is for you to glorify God.

Download or read book Blessed Broken Given written by Glenn Packiam and published by Multnomah. This book was released on 2019-08-06 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An invitation to find beauty and meaning in the ordinary and imperfect aspects of your life; not as a call to settle for less, but rather as a way to mysteriously participate in God's power and purpose. Glenn Packiam wants to empower readers to find great joy, purpose, and passion in their daily living. While bread may be one of the most common items on our dinner tables, Jesus chose to take it at the Last Supper and invest deep, wonderful, and transcendent meaning in it. Like the bread that was blessed, broken, and given; readers will see how God uses ordinary experiences to cultivate their mission and their brokenness to bring healing to the world. The ordinary is not the enemy; it is the means by which God accomplishes the miraculous. Through clear biblical teaching and practical steps, Packiam leads the reader into a more purposeful, directed, hopeful future.

Download or read book The Bless Me Father Series Books 1 5 written by Neil Boyd and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2017-06-13 with total page 946 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This acclaimed series that inspired a hit London Weekend Television sitcom is “a long, gentle breeze of humour” (James Herriot). Based on the author’s real-life experiences after completing seminary and later adapted into a beloved British sitcom, these five novels are a humorous and sweet-natured look at Catholicism in the 1950s. Readers of all creeds will enjoy Father Neil’s adventures at St. Jude’s parish, a corner of London with a raucous congregation full of Irish immigrants. Bless Me, Father: Young Neil Boyd has just finished divinity school. A newly ordained priest, his first post is at St. Jude’s parish where he meets the cantankerous, scheming, and brilliant Father Duddleswell and Mrs. Pring, the sharp-tongued housekeeper. Father Duddleswell is willing to do anything to make sure the Lord’s will be done, from placing a bet to obstructing an interdenominational love affair. A Father Before Christmas: The holiday season is among the most hectic times at St. Jude’s, and this year is no exception for Father Neil. As always, he has his hands full with Father Duddleswell, who has decided to invite all the other sects of Christianity to celebrate Christmas with them. The plan quickly unravels when two religious leaders from another denomination try to convert Father Neil and a clock goes missing—as does the church collection. Father in a Fix: After six months at St. Jude’s, Father Neil makes a New Year’s resolution to wise up. With the crazy collection of characters at his parish, this will be no easy feat, especially when Father Duddleswell is named the prime suspect in the killing of a gambling parishioner’s smelly pig and a generous attempt to give the suspected butcher a day off goes zanily haywire. Bless Me Again, Father: After finishing his first year at St. Jude’s, Father Neil finally feels as if he has his feet firmly planted on the ground. But the parish is still full of surprises, and the clergy are confronted with all manner of crisis. First, there is the dilemma of Dr. Daley, whose drinking is causing his health to deteriorate but who worries that sobriety will ruin his personality. Then, much to Father Duddleswell’s chagrin, a new donkey overruns the church, followed by a fresh litter of kittens. Father Under Fire: As St. Jude’s adds another member to its clergy—Father Abe, an octogenarian with an agenda of his own—the church staff finds themselves embroiled in a rivalry among undertakers, a visit during Holy Week from the bishop with the longest rosary on record, a harebrained scheme to promote holy water as a fertility enhancer, and a night spent under a pool table during a pilgrimage.

This book was released on 2015-04-20 with total page 2256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In all six of its volumes The Broadview Anthology of British Literature presents British literature in a truly distinctive light.

The anthology also provides wide-ranging coverage of the worldwide connections of British literature, and it pays attention throughout to issues of race, gender, class, and sexual orientation. It includes comprehensive introductions to each period, providing in each case an overview of the historical and cultural as well as the literary background. It features accessible and engaging headnotes for all authors, extensive explanatory annotations, and an unparalleled number of illustrations and contextual materials. Innovative, authoritative and comprehensive, The Broadview Anthology of British Literature has established itself as a leader in the field.

The edition features the same high quality of introductions, annotations, contextual materials, and illustrations found in the full anthology, and it complements an ample offering of canonical works with a vibrant selection of less-canonical pieces. The compact single-volume edition also includes a substantial website component, providing for much greater flexibility. An increasing number of works from the full six-volume anthology (or from its website component) are also being made available in stand-alone Broadview Anthology of British Literature editions that can be bundled with the anthology.
