Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I have learned that in the middle of the most severe pain, God is enough. He is always enough.' From foreign missionary to convicted felon, Joel Price's clandestine world collided with reality to create a cyclone of uncertainty for his wife, Tabitha, and three young sons, ending their idyllic life forever. As Joel sought in secret to overcome his obsession and addiction on his own, he slipped over the precipice of self-destruction leading to a federal investigation and ultimately to incarceration. In a bold and risky move, Tabitha Price lays bare her shattered world, addressing issues long veiled in silence by Christian society. With ragged vulnerability she testifies to God's hand at work in the midst of tragedy, from lessons on forgiveness, to the beauty of God's all-sufficiency. When all hope seems lost and your world spins out of control, the Prices' story is a powerful reminder that God gives joy in the mourning.

Hunter, Senior Pastor, Northland - A Church Distributed

Download or read book Radical written by David Platt and published by Multnomah. This book was released on 2010-05-04 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestseller What is Jesus worth to you? It's easy for American Christians to forget how Jesus said his followers would actually live, what their new lifestyle would actually look like. They would, he said, leave behind security, money, convenience, even family for him. They would abandon everything for the gospel. They would take up their crosses daily... But who do you know who lives like that? Do you? In Radical, David Platt challenges you to consider with an open heart how we have manipulated the gospel to fit our cultural preferences. He shows what Jesus actually said about being his disciple--then invites you to believe and obey what you have heard. And he tells the dramatic story of what is happening as a "successful" suburban church decides to get serious about the gospel according to Jesus. Finally, he urges you to join in The Radical Experiment -- a one-year journey in authentic discipleship that will transform how you live in a world that desperately needs the Good News Jesus came to bring.

Download or read book Joy Comes in the Mourning written by Helene Marie Cruz and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2022-01-30 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joy Comes in the Mourning presents an authentic and practical devotion-style book intended to speak to a topic that, unfortunately, everyone must encounter in their lives—grieving loss. This collection is unusual in that it is autobiographical. Author Helene Marie Cruz shares both her experiences of loss and those of many in her family and close circle of friends, all of whom have lost loved ones. The testimonies vary in terms of the types of losses and the situations before and after the mourning, but the common theme is that God, the Father; Jesus, the Son; and the Holy Spirit, the Counselor, were present somewhere during these journeys of grief. Cruz encourages but also evangelizes, eliciting the Holy Spirit to pull you toward either knowing the Savior for the first time or calling upon Him for healing, grace, peace, and the joy that the Psalmist David speaks of in the healing psalm of promise, Psalm 30:5—“weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.” Uplifting and encouraging, this collection of testimonies invites you to understand and ultimately live the promise offered by God of the joy that follows grief.

She has beauty, brains, and a body envied by women and adored by men. But what she hasn't had since she was fourteen and her mother was killed while riding with a drunk driver, leaving Tonya to be raised by the two people she begrudges most-her alcoholic father and her 'play aunt, ' Carolyn Wright-is peace of mind. Peace isn't the only thing slipping through her fingers when she is diagnosed with a life-threatening illness. Carolyn, who drove the car that took Tonya's mother's life, is a fifty-four-year-old devoted wife, ministry leader, and self-proclaimed 'woman of integrity.' Though she believes in holding folk-especially church folk-accountable for their actions, she refuses to live under the black cloud of that terrible day. She is now strong in the Lord and the power of His might. But her well-built spiritual wall begins to crumble when she winds up the subject of scandal at the Straighter Way Baptist Church and has to answer for her actions.

It has a dark element of bitterness and fear running throughout, but also a healthy dose of humor. Jane Houston, an RN who lives in Raleigh, North Carolina, was raised by relatives after her parents died in an accident. She suffers from depression and bitterness brought about by abuse and sin. As she contrives to help herself, she comes face to face with her fears and her need of a Savior. A brief vacation visit to her former home in Mount Tarry, a small mountain town in North Carolina, turns into a long one, and she becomes involved with many different characters as her life winds and turns, much like Mount Tarry's narrow roads. She has plans for herself and her husband, Jake, but she'll find out that plans can be divinely interrupted.

Book excerpt: Kahlil Gibran considered The Prophet his greatest achievement. He said: "I think I've never been without The Prophet since I first conceived it in Mount Lebanon. It seems to have been a part of me....I kept the manuscript four years before I delivered it over to my publisher, because I wanted to be sure, I wanted to be very sure, that every word of it was the very best I had to offer." The Chicago Post said of The Prophet: "Cadenced and vibrant with feeling, the words of Kahlil Gibran bring to one's ears the majestic rhythm of Ecclesiastes....If there is a man or woman who can read this book without a quiet acceptance of a great man's philosophy and a singing in the heart as of music born within, that man or woman is indeed dead to life and truth."

Download or read book Happiness written by Randy Alcorn and published by NavPress. This book was released on 2015-09-17 with total page 575 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you ever wonder whether God even cares if we’re happy? This world can be so hard, and we aren’t promised an easy road. But that’s not the whole story. The Bible is filled with verses that prove that ours is a God who not only loves celebrations but also desperately wants his children to experience happiness. Why else would he go to the lengths he did to ensure our eternal happiness in his presence? We know that we will experience unimaginable joy and happiness in heaven, but that doesn’t mean we can’t also experience joy and happiness here on earth. In Happiness, noted theologian Randy Alcorn (bestselling author of Heaven) dispels centuries of misconceptions about happiness, including downright harmful ideas like the prosperity gospel, and provides indisputable proof that God not only wants us to be happy, he commands it. Randy covers questions like: How can I cultivate happiness in my life? What’s the difference between joy and happiness? Can good things become idols that steal our happiness? Is seeking happiness selfish? How can I achieve happiness through gratitude? What does it look like to receive God’s grace? The most definitive study on the subject of happiness to date, this book is a paradigm-shifting wake-up call for the church and Christians everywhere.

Download or read book Suffering Is Never for Nothing written by Elisabeth Elliot and published by B&H Publishing Group. This book was released on 2019-02-01 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hard times come for all in life, with no real explanation. When we walk through suffering, it has the potential to devastate and destroy, or to be the gateway to gratitude and joy. Elisabeth Elliot was no stranger to suffering. Her first husband, Jim, was murdered by the Waoroni people in Ecuador moments after he arrived in hopes of sharing the gospel. Her second husband was lost to cancer. Yet, it was in her deepest suffering that she learned the deepest lessons about God. Why doesn’t God do something about suffering? He has, He did, He is, and He will. Suffering and love are inexplicably linked, as God’s love for His people is evidenced in His sending Jesus to carry our sins, griefs, and sufferings on the cross, sacrificially taking what was not His on Himself so that we would not be required to carry it. He has walked the ultimate path of suffering, and He has won victory on our behalf. This truth led Elisabeth to say, “Whatever is in the cup that God is offering to me, whether it be pain and sorrow and suffering and grief along with the many more joys, I’m willing to take it because I trust Him.” Because suffering is never for nothing.
