Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Book Summary: Heaven Is A Long Way to Go This non-fiction book takes the reader into the hopes, hardships, and tragedies of four generations of ambitious individuals, connected by lineage and marriage. They emigrated to America from Norway, England and the Isle of Man, seeking freedom and free lands offered by the federal Homestead Act. Settling in Wisconsin, Iowa, North Dakota, and Nebraska, they were challenged by economic humiliations, locust plagues, blizzards, prairie fires, accidents, and illness. There were good times too, like picnics, family bonding, and baseball! A source of hope for family members in difficult times was their belief in Seventh-day Adventism, a rapidly growing Christian denomination. They were sustained by their belief in an imminent Second Coming of Christ to earth, during which they would be taken to a safe and everlasting heaven. Author T. Joe Willey based his stories on research from old newspapers, letters, and other publications of the time, using historical methodology, not as a religious apologetic.

But from the moment Patrick and Mary set foot in Liverpool, they are beset by new trials. After tramping the long, weary miles to York, they are forced to settle in the nightmarish slums of Walmgate, where disease and death are rife.

Download or read book The Physics of God written by Gary Nickolaus and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-11-08 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author has spent his life in an obsessive quest to understand the nature of reality and the purpose of existence. Many would say this is a symptom of Asperger’s syndrome, a high functioning form of autism. While I certainly fit this profile I believe there is a different more amazing reason. If an individual actualizes their potential in this space-time it is also actualized in the “Singularity” the space-less, time-less part of the dual universe at the quantum level. Each step of my life has led to find the answers because in the “Singularity” I had already found them. Here are the answers to God, the universe, and everything, I give them to you now because you are in desperate need of them, do with them what you will. Buy the book or not, read the book or not, I do not care, for I have completed my task and fulfilled my destiny, and that is all that matters. But if you do read the book be prepared for a remarkable vision of the nature of reality, and a magnificent purpose of existence illustrated with poetry and painting.
Download or read book Imagine Heaven written by John Burke and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2015-10-13 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's obvious from the bookshelves and the big screen that heaven is on everyone's mind. All of us long to know what life after death will be like. Bestselling author John Burke is no exception. For decades, he has been studying accounts of people who have had near-death experiences (NDEs). While not every detail of individual NDEs correlate with Scripture, Burke shows how the common experiences shared by thousands of survivors clearly point to the God of the Bible and the exhilarating picture of heaven he promises. Imagine Heaven is an inspirational journey through the Bible's picture of heaven, colored in with the real-life stories of heaven's wonders. Burke compares gripping stories of NDEs to what Scripture says about our biggest questions of heaven: Will I be myself? Will I see friends and loved ones? What will it look like? What is God like? What will we do forever? What about children and pets? This book will propel readers into an experience that will forever change their view of the life to come and the way they live life today. It also tackles the tough questions of heavenly reward and hellish NDEs. Anyone interested in NDEs or longing to imagine heaven more clearly will enjoy this fascinating and hope-filled book.

Download or read book It s a Long Way Down to the Top written by David H. Stroud and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2012-10 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enter into rest. Where do you come to rest internally? The heart of flesh pumps blood, and the heart of the spirit resides in the mind. True rest must first be in the mind and the heart for the whole person and the whole life to rest. Activity and rest of the body, soul, and spirit are life. In His image the Lord made our life in perfection of purpose, intent, and craftsmanship. Where do you come to rest-in His presence with the extra ingredient of your purpose, intent, and craftsmanship? How do you enter activity-in Him or in you? Are you a citizen of heaven in yearning confident expectation, or an earthling putting down roots? "... as he thinks in his heart, so is he" (Prov. 23:7).
Download or read book Free Falling into Hell written by Evangelist Henry Miranda and published by Henry Miranda. This book was released on 2023-03-17 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though they are on the steps of the doors to hell, I believe that the unsaved don’t want to know God. Everyone has a conscience, which gives an awareness of right and wrong. The Bible says that God has revealed Himself to each individual through their conscience. What more can God do to warn people? Many are aware of heaven and hell but somehow show no concern. The person who rejects God does not understand the real horrors of this Godless place. This may be because they don’t believe hell exists or they are convinced it would be tolerably better than heaven and nothing can be further from the truth. At this point, they are not preferring hell over God; they are blind to both. They do not perceive the true glories of God, neither do they perceive the true horrors of hell. When they die, they will be shocked beyond words. What sinners want is not hell but sin. The fact that hell is the inevitable consequence of unforgiven sin does not make the consequence desirable. It is truly not what people want — certainly not what they “want most.” Wanting sin is no more equal to wanting hell than wanting chocolate is equal to wanting obesity. However, consuming sin again and again with no regard for repentance will result to eternal damnation. Some want to believe that God would not send anyone to hell. It is a nice thought, but it is simply unbiblical. God certainly does send people to hell. In His justice, He does pass a sentence and executes it. Indeed, worse than that, God does not just send, He throws. Revelation 20:15 reads, “If anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire” (ESV). Hell is real. It is a place where many are going but few fully recognize the horrendous fate that awaits them there. It is essential that this truth is not lost but understood and shared.
Download or read book My Life in Dire Straits written by John Illsley and published by Diversion Books. This book was released on 2021-11-09 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The bass player and founding member Dire Straits shares a behind-the-scenes history of the British rock band. One of the most successful music acts of all time, Dire Straits filled stadiums around the world. Their albums sold hundreds of millions of copies and their music—classics like “Sultans of Swing,” “Romeo and Juliet,” “Money for Nothing,” and “Brothers in Arms” —is still played on every continent today. There was, quite simply, no bigger band on the planet throughout the eighties. In this powerful and entertaining memoir, founding member John Illsley gives the inside track on the most successful rock band of their time. From playing gigs in the spit-and-sawdust pubs of south London, to hanging out with Bob Dylan in LA, Illsley tells the story of the band with searching honesty, soulful reflection, and wry humor. Starting with his own unlikely beginnings in Middle England, he recounts the band’s rise from humble origins to the best-known venues in the world, the working man’s clubs to Madison Square Garden, sharing gigs with wild punk bands to rocking the Live Aid stage at Wembley. And woven throughout is an intimate portrait and tribute to his great friend Mark Knopfler, the band’s lead singer, songwriter, and remarkable guitarist. Tracing an idea that created a phenomenal musical legacy, an extraordinary journey of joy and pain, companionship and surprises, this is John Illsley’s life in Dire Straits. Praise for My Life in Dire Straits “A forensic and uplifting journey through the sheer hard work, pitfalls, and thrills of navigating a great rock and roll band to the pinnacle of success. I so enjoyed the ride! Onwards, John!” —Roger Taylor, drummer, songwriter, and founding member of Queen “Reading John Illsley’s book, I relived so many moments. He captures the early days of the “English bands” and their story—the ups and downs, relationships, craziness, and fun. Of course, the music was key. This really happened!” —Mike Rutherford of Genesis “Fascinating. . . . Illsley is brutally frank about the toll that the band’s fame had on his relationships, most notably his marriage (“a victim,” he writes, “of my life on the road”). Fans will be mesmerized.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Download or read book Can t Wait to Get to Heaven written by Fannie Flagg and published by Random House. This book was released on 2006-11-28 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining southern warmth with unabashed emotion and side-splitting hilarity, Fannie Flagg takes readers back to Elmwood Springs, Missouri, where the most unlikely and surprising experiences of a high-spirited octogenarian inspire a town to ponder the age-old question: Why are we here? Life is the strangest thing. One minute, Mrs. Elner Shimfissle is up in her tree, picking figs, and the next thing she knows, she is off on an adventure she never dreamed of, running into people she never in a million years expected to meet. Meanwhile, back home, Elner’s nervous, high-strung niece Norma faints and winds up in bed with a cold rag on her head; Elner’s neighbor Verbena rushes immediately to the Bible; her truck driver friend, Luther Griggs, runs his eighteen-wheeler into a ditch–and the entire town is thrown for a loop and left wondering, “What is life all about, anyway?” Except for Tot Whooten, who owns Tot’s Tell It Like It Is Beauty Shop. Her main concern is that the end of the world might come before she can collect her social security. In this comedy-mystery, those near and dear to Elner discover something wonderful: Heaven is actually right here, right now, with people you love, neighbors you help, friendships you keep. Can’t Wait to Get to Heaven is proof once more that Fannie Flagg “was put on this earth to write” (Southern Living), spinning tales as sweet and refreshing as iced tea on a summer day, with a little extra kick thrown in.
