Download or read book Run written by Heather Baxter and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winning the spiritual Race does not depend upon how fast you Run; it is determined by how you Run. There is a right way and wrong way to Run. Having an organized Training plan is your only chance to make it to the Finish Line. This book study will become a personal Training manual. Run will give you instructions and resources that will equip you to win the Race. The Christian life is often described as a Race one designed by God. In it, we are called to fulfill His purposes for us. We need to be in spiritual shape. Trying to run a marathon is very different from Training to run a marathon. Lets get fit we cant quit when the going gets rough. We can go through all the religious stunts, but unless there is a desire to Train to be like Jesus, few make it and many fall to defeat. A great factor in success is consistency. We may start out in front, leading, but if we do not stay consistent, we become entangled in the affairs of this life. God has called you to Run the Race set before you! Fall on your knees through this study and embrace your Race! Its possible to Run the entire Race, and even cross the Finish Line, only to realize you have been disqualified because you did not Run in such a way. Life is not a game with no lasting consequences. The way we Run has eternal consequences. Lace up, friend; you have a Race to win!

Download or read book My Journey Home written by Bob Schummer and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2017-02-28 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Step into Bob's shoes as you travel along with him on his journey home. His is a riveting story of redemption, failure, forgiveness, and restoration-one that will cause you to laugh, cry, and, in the end, fill you with hope. There was something different about big George. While he was the butt of everyone's jokes, it never seemed to bother him; he continued to talk to everyone about Jesus, including Bob. There was also something different about Bob; while on the outside he looked great, on the inside, he was empty. Eventually it was that emptiness that finally drove Bob to ask big George the most important question he had ever asked anyone: "So what is this business about being born again?" Two days later, Bob found the answer to that question, and his life was changed forever. However, over the next 25 years, while Bob watched the Lord do amazing things in his life, he would also fight a lonely battle with an invisible adversary that would torment him relentlessly, even threatening to take his very life.

Download or read book Thanksgiving written by Gage Irving and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-11-14 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The disconnection in the Donnellys had reached an inhuman scale. Without a shred of truth or dignity, their self-serving alienation minimizes our own interactions or lack there of. The frightening evolution of their respective plans is written down and dirty. Without using the tawdry tool of conjuring up bloody carnage, realism fl ourished in full color using only a subtle tug to your own imagination to visualize something even worse. The uncanny is tethered in the backseat until the entire clan arrives at the second reunion. After relishing plates of steaming turkey, satisfying answers to most of the enigmatic questions are served up along with the after dinner liqueur. Almost every scene is plot derived. The ‘treading water’ problem found in a lot of popular fi ction does not exist here. There is no fl oundering along in a side eddy to fi ll you with boring and nonessential information. The narrative is concise, and the story races along as fast as the tricked out Jaguar one of the characters in the novel owns. The sparse rest areas are only there for ambience to encourage terror or revulsion. After the main story ends, a short story begins dealing with a ghost town called Rickert Basin near Waterbury, Vermont. It is a short prequel to introduce a shadowy character in the background of the main text. He’ll be one of the four individuals in the novel to continue through-out the series

Download or read book Cream of Chaos Soup written by Carl Iredale and published by Wordsworth Writing House. This book was released on 2024-06-15 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solomon Hooper, Angharad (Harry) Jones and Oli McConundrum have worked as teachers at The St Tiresias Academy for the past three years. Or so they thought. When they inadvertently discover their personal truths, they find themselves dragged into a life-or-death struggle that takes them on an epic journey. During their quest, they encounter a rather pungent 5th century Cornwall, a deep space amassing ship, a Pink Floyd gig in London in 1967, The Mary Celeste, an ancient intergalactic war, and a museum of incongruent things. They are forced to engage in battle with a foe who threatens to shatter the bonds that hold the very fabric of reality together. And as if this wasn't enough, they have to contend with an elderly gothic gentleman, tasked with the audit of molluscs, an over-confident robot, obsessed with administering foot rubs, a strawberry flavoured pussycat, a stroppy psychopath with his own personal army of dribbling monsters, and a bendy gymnast in a black fetish costume. Can they overcome these seemingly insurmountable odds, or will the universe dissolve into a subatomic, chaotic soup?
