Book excerpt: Being Lost is the First Step to Getting Found As a marriage and family therapist, one of Nicole Zasowski’s greatest joys is helping her clients grow in emotional freedom. What she couldn’t see for many years is that she was living her own life outside of that freedom, clinging to behaviors like shame, performance, and control in order to feel valued and safe. It was only when she was confronted with her own devastating pain and loss that Nicole realized her current way of life was failing her. She then discovered that sometimes God’s rescue looks like prying our fingers off what we think we want so that we can receive what we truly need. And often, on the far side of pain we don’t prefer, we find transformation we would not trade. In From Lost to Found, Nicole shares her story as she helps us name what we fear losing most, identify how our reactive behaviors are failing us, discover what joy we can find in letting go, and move forward in the freedom God has for us. God is writing a story of redemption in your life too. Find out for yourself that sometimes the greatest joy is found when we are drained of all misplaced hope and shallow identities. In the midst of pain or transition, discover a surprising path to healing as you lose your grip on comfort and control—and fall right into God’s transformative grace. Includes discussion questions for individual reflection or small group study

I asked God to send me that special someone to love. While still searching, God answered my prayers, but I wasn't ready. After a near fatal accident, I questioned why my life was spared. God gave me the clarity to understand that a change was needed in my life. I realized that God wanted me to endure some pain and suffering in order for me to become a better person. I now know that God's blessings have always been upon me, and I am just beginning to understand why. About the Author Rudolph M.

Download or read book Blessed written by Kate Bowler and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2013-05-08 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How have millions of American Christians come to measure spiritual progress in terms of their financial status and physical well-being? How has the movement variously called Word of Faith, Health and Wealth, Name It and Claim It, or simply prosperity gospel come to dominate much of our contemporary religious landscape? Kate Bowler's Blessed is the first book to fully explore the origins, unifying themes, and major figures of a burgeoning movement that now claims millions of followers in America. Bowler traces the roots of the prosperity gospel: from the touring mesmerists, metaphysical sages, pentecostal healers, business oracles, and princely prophets of the early 20th century; through mid-century positive thinkers like Norman Vincent Peale and revivalists like Oral Roberts and Kenneth Hagin; to today's hugely successful prosperity preachers. Bowler focuses on such contemporary figures as Creflo Dollar, pastor of Atlanta's 30,000-member World Changers Church International; Joel Osteen, known as "the smiling preacher," with a weekly audience of seven million; T. D. Jakes, named by Time magazine one of America's most influential new religious leaders; Joyce Meyer, evangelist and women's empowerment guru; and many others. At almost any moment, day or night, the American public can tune in to these preachers-on TV, radio, podcasts, and in their megachurches-to hear the message that God desires to bless them with wealth and health. Bowler offers an interpretive framework for scholars and general readers alike to understand the diverse expressions of Christian abundance as a cohesive movement bound by shared understandings and common goals.

Download or read book I am Blessed and There is not a Thing the Devil Can Do about it written by Lorna Carroll and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I wrote this book telling about all the great men and women of God and their struggles and learning experiences so people would realize that we all go through trials and learning experiences. But if we have God in our lives, we have someone to go through them with us. God uses everything to build character in us and make us great men and women of God too. If we have the Lord in our life, He is the one who fights for us and shows us the way out of our dilemmas. We need to stay close to Him and learn to hear His voice inside of us, and He will show us the way. At the appointed time, it will surely come to pass. A friend gave me a bookmarker one time that said, "It's hard to fly like an eagle when you are living with turkeys." I told her, "You have to learn to soar above them and allow God to solve the problems or show you what you are supposed to do. Don't get involved in a turkey fight when you are an eagle. Fly and soar on high with Him." When a mother eagle teaches her young to fly, she takes them out on her wings and drops them off and tells them to fly. But she soars right with them so she can fly under them and catch them on her wings if they don't make it the first time. She will know when they are ready to fly by themselves. That is the same way it is with God. He is there to catch us if we fall. I wrote this poem in my Bible years ago, and I don't even know where I read it. I added to it over the years as I learned how true it was. God says, "Come to the edge." But it is dangerous there! God says, "Come to the edge." But I might fall! God says, "Come to the edge." So I went to the edge, and He pushed me. I started to fall, and I cried for help, and God said, "Spread your wings!" I did, and I began to fly. We have to see the invisible, believe the impossible, and we will achieve the incredible. Just listen to God and wait on His timing! God's plans for us are greater than anything we could ever think or imagine. Isaiah 40:31 says, "Those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings like eagles. They shall run and not be weary. They shall walk and not faint." God called Abraham the father of faith. God told him that his descendants would be as the sand on the seashore. There were many descendants of Abraham over generations, but there are also spiritual descendants of Abraham. We are part of his family of faith when we accept Jesus Christ as our savior. God is our shield and exceeding great reward. The covenant has been handed down to us! All we have to do is believe it and receive it! We are blessed by God Almighty and Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son! It is up to us! The choice is ours. We are part of the family of God, and there is not a thing the devil can do to change that, unless you let him. God is able to see you through anything you will ever face if you will just invite Him in.

Prayerfully this book will inspire some, encourage others, and perhaps cause someone to reevaluate their relationship or their lack of relationship with God.

Download or read book Blessed Are the Misfits written by Brant Hansen and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2017-11-28 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you've ever felt like you don't fit into American church culture... Brant Hansen has been there, too. Join Hansen as he explores modern Christianity, the beauty of being different, and the astonishing goodness of God. American church culture can feel designed for extroverted, emotional people -- so what does that mean for the rest of us? Brant Hansen gets it. Introverted, a natural skeptic, and an "Aspie," he often wondered how, even if, he fit into the Kingdom of God. But the good news is that the Good News is for all. Maybe "spiritual" doesn't always look like we expect. And maybe those of us whose lives aren't full of amazing or emotional spiritual stories, or those of us who struggle to be social, confident, or happy -- "misfits," really -- have a beautiful place in God's kingdom too. In his trademark dry, self-effacing humor, Brant addresses questions like: If I don't relate to God as emotionally or feel His presence as intensely, is there something wrong with me? What if I'm not good at talking to people about my faith -- or not good at talking to people at all? What if I'm terrible at praying and even struggle to want to pray? If I struggle with depression, does that mean I've failed spiritually? For anyone who has felt left out, anyone who has gone through the motions, or anyone who feels like they have more questions than answers, Blessed Are the Misfits is a breath of fresh air. Praise for Blessed are the Misfits: "This book is for those who feel disconnected, lonely, or spiritually dry. Brant's writing is honest, quirky, funny, and downright therapeutic. I can think of no one I'd rather have sit down with me and say, "You know what? It's okay to be you.'" --Benjamin C. Warf, MD, Professor of Neurosurgery, Harvard Medical School
