It was the only good year of Jane’s life—cobblestones and books and damp English air, heady wine and sweet cider and Thalia, endless Thalia. But then one night ruined everything.

Download or read book Don t Give the Enemy a Seat at Your Table written by Louie Giglio and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2021-05-11 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Louie Giglio helps you find encouragement, hope, and strength in the midst of any valley as you reject the enemy voices of fear, rage, lust, insecurity, anxiety, despair, temptation, or defeat. Scripture is clear: the Enemy is a liar who will stop at nothing to tempt you into poor decisions and self-defeating mindsets, making you feel afraid, angry, anxious, or defeated. It is all too easy for Satan to weasel his way into a seat at the table intended for only you and your King. But you can fight back. Don't Give the Enemy a Seat at Your Table outlines the ways to overcome those lies so you can find peace and security in any challenging circumstance or situation. With the same bold, exciting approach to Scripture as employed in Goliath Must Fall and his other previous works, pastor Louie Giglio examines Psalm 23 in fresh ways, highlighting verse 5: "You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies." You can find freedom from insecurity, temptation, and defeat--if you allow Jesus, the Shepherd, to lead the battle for your mind and heart. This spiritual warfare book for those who are leery of spiritual warfare books will resonate with Louie's core Passion tribe as well as with Christians of all ages who want to live a triumphant life in God.

Book excerpt: This is a compilation of four previously published, rather slenderer books, entitled The God of More than Enough, Christ the Hope of Glory, According to the Power and This Hope we Have. It appears now by popular request in one volume to encourage the reading and reflection on God's word every morning. It also contains the revised script of an E-book from some years back, entitled "First Thoughts: Be My First Thought in the Morning." As a couple, we always try to start and finish each day centred on God's word, to let it be our first thought and our last thought. And so First Thoughts still seems to be an appropriate title for the present volume. There's a theme that comes consistently to the surface wherever we travel: it's the theme of God's supply. Everywhere we go, we find people hungry for the truth that God is all we need, that He is our supplier, that He provides for every single situation. So here are some of those verses that have blessed us in that discovery.

Download or read book A Call From Jersey written by P.F. Kluge and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2011-11-29 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “[Kluge] sketches a difficult but ultimately loving father/son relationship with a rare sincerity and welcome humor. Heartfelt, funny and poignant.” —Kirkus Reviews Set in the1980s, A Call from Jersey follows the life of Hans Greifinger, a German-American who immigrated to the United States in 1928 and built a life for himself and his son, George, who has adopted the surname Griffin for his nationally-syndicated lackluster travel column. “A luminous and compelling novel about the way surprises from the past can reshape our future. An invitation to a high school reunion brings a restless travel writer back to New Jersey to confront a father he abandoned, friends he forgot, and a history he never knew. Kluge knows his characters from the inside and his comic, loving portrayals stand with the best of Russo and Irving. Jersey has never seemed more exotic. Kluge entertains while provoking all the big questions about the meaning of origins and the search for home.” —Askold Melnyczuk, author of What Is Told “I have admired every novel by P.F. Kluge, but I must say that A Call from Jersey is the most stunning, provocative and beautifully written of all . . . This novel is the rare iconic immigrant story—inimitable, mesmerizing, tough-minded, generous, and haunting.” —Howard Norman, author of The Bird Artist “This new novel adds a salient chapter to the history of the American dream.” —Daniel Mark Epstein, author of Sister Aimee “Absorbing . . . as much about the twentieth-century American experience as it is about brothers, fathers, and sons.” —Publishers Weekly
