Download or read book Cruising the World s Oceans written by Kalman Dubov and published by Kalman Dubov. This book was released on 2021-12-19 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 25 September through 17 November 2016, I was fortunate to serve as the Rabbi aboard the Holland America flagship, Amsterdam. The ship embarked from Seattle, Washington, and at the journey's end, arrived in San Diego, California. Each port of call, from Vancouver, British Columbia, to the Hawaiian Islands, then to the deep Pacific, were all spectacular. Fiji, the French Polynesian islands of Tahiti, Mo'orea, Rarotonga in the Cook Islands, and Nuku Hiva in the Marquesas, made the voyage a fantastic experience. I briefly review each location's 'history', and if applicable, Jewish history and presence, and then describe my visit. Each of these elements encapsulates another facet of this voyage. Of special meaning was my visit to the only Synagogue in the deep Pacific, Ahava v’Achvah, House of Love and Unity, in Papeete, Tahiti. Jewish passengers who accompanied me for the Friday evening Shabbat Service were enthralled by the beauty, warmth, consideration, and invitation of this small, but vibrant, Jewish community. The moments we spent with them were the high point for those who came for this time of worship and celebration. This voyage was a special time and I share these moments in this descriptive book.

Download or read book Is It Really Just a Small World written by Sandra Boyce Ghost and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2011-06-07 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When two neighbors who live in Bucksnort, Tennessee unexpectedly meet in New York City, they usually say the same thing, Well, its a small world! This seems to be the phrase that always accompanies a remarkable coincidence. But what if it isnt coincidence at all? What if these extreme happenings could be orchestrated by God, to get our attention, to further His plan for our lives, or as some kind of heavenly protection? Have doubts about that? Well, Is It Really Just A Small World? promises to show one coincidence after another, all laced together in the life of one woman with the love of a heavenly valentine. The autobiography of Sandra Ghost reads like a page-turning soap opera when as a teen she tries to swim upstream in a troubled home life and uses marriage as an escape from the parental river of alcohol. Physical abuse ends this union and a second marriage promises all her dreams will come true, until she finds herself desperately trying to win her new husbands approval to no avail. She feels planted in the country with the crops and a newborn baby, and tries to imitate the housewives on TV, submissively trying to just tie a starched apron around her troubled mind. In a fluke of circumstances, Sandy is thrust into singing onstage. This occurrence blossoms into a surprising career as a nightclub entertainer with bookings all over the US and Canada, appearances on television, plus a recording contract. And this is when the miracles begin to happen... So, fasten your spiritual seat belt, get prepared for the ups and downs of a heavenly roller coaster ride that will leave you breathless with what the world would deem to be remarkable coincidences. (While this autobiography is told with humor and candor, it reflects solid and astonishing answers to prayer. When there are encounters with others whose stories of miracles also cross the path of the author, she has included affidavits by those involved to speak of the veracity of the episode.)

However, in the blink of an eye, Hannahs worldly lifestyle maliciously crumbles beneath her feet leaving her wounded, hollow, and broken. In her weakest moment, Hannah finds an object buried in the sand that not only gives her the motivation to change her life, but the strength to take a chance and seek refuge in God. Desperate for a change, Hannah moves to her hometown of South Lake Tahoe. With guidance from her grandmother, Meg, and friend Peter Shanahan, Hannah begins to piece her life together by surrendering herself to God. Although Hannah finds hope in The Lord and begins to feel His mighty healing, she also feels the haunting memories from her past gripping at her soul and pulling her back into a dark pit. Eventually Hannah is forced to confront the darkness of her past in order to make room for the light of Christ in her future. Will Hannah be able to let go of her bondage and follow the path that God has called her to be on? Or will she remain a prisoner to her painful past forever?

Download or read book Lady of the North written by Fred Blom and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-03-15 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No matter how many people there are in the world, there is a different path for everyone! I want you to come with me! Please, it's important! Imagine if you will that it is possible for others to learn from you. Some paths may be similar while other can be almost unexplainable. Is it possible for your pet to teach you, protect you, and, I mean, even to the point of true values? Let's just suppose that there is a greater good out there. Let's say that if you open your heart, your mind, and perhaps your soul to the possibility that you find something that few have? Let's also say that just because something bad or maybe to your dislike happens to you that you don't just throw it out but learn and grow from it, like for example, a parent's discipline to a child? Compare this to that which is greater than you and to whom you could become? For there is nothing covered that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. (Luke 12:2) The question we will seek to understand is, Is it possible to have things like objects or animals or perhaps events placed on our path of life to help us or instruct us? Perhaps a collie dog that was more than a pet? The Word of God has ninety-nine Bible passages that reflect that he would raise up the stones to praise him if the people would not. Why not a collie dog? Why not the teachings, craftiness, and senses of such? Do you have a pet? Can you learn from your pet? Can you learn from your surroundings and those that cross your path for just a moment? There are so many different things that we just take for granted. We probably don't mean to, but life just happens. I have at many times taken the time to try a little harder to see things around me, to try to listen a little better, to have a calm temperament and the devotion that my dog, Lady, showed to me. She obviously didn't raise me, but I give her the credit for a lot of what I have become. Now I personally believe she was placed by God in my life and that she was a glory to God. Be kind to your pet!
