Download or read book Unsinkable Faith written by Tracie Miles and published by David C Cook. This book was released on 2017-04-01 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many people, remaining optimistic and feeling positive about themselves and their lives is a constant battle—especially when circumstances are difficult and life is hard. For others, negativity is something that only sneaks up from time to time, yet still wreaks havoc in their hearts. Regardless of the root causes, once pessimistic thoughts permeate our minds, our feelings and emotions begin to control us instead of us controlling them. Eventually it doesn’t seem possible to stay positive, happy, and full of joy, and negative thought patterns shake our faith, causing us to sink emotionally, mentally, and spiritually over time. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Despite what storms roll in, hearts anchored in God don’t sink. When we change the way we think, we can change the way we feel and live, even if our circumstances remain the same. Intentionally embracing the opportunity to experience a transformed heart and a renewed mind opens the door for a changed life, because a positive mind will always lead to a more positive life. In Unsinkable Faith, author and Proverbs 31 Ministries speaker Tracie Miles offers hope for women who struggle with negativity. Each chapter explores Tracie’s and other women’s personal stories, showing how they rose above their circumstances by transforming and renewing their minds. Unsinkable Faith is a breath of fresh air for anyone longing for a heart full of joy, an unbreakable smile, and a new, more optimistic perspective on life. This book will equip you to: Replace pessimism with positive thinking by becoming the captain of your thoughts; Learn how true joy and happiness are based on choice, not circumstances; Overcome unhealthy habits of negative thinking by intentionally implementing three easy mind-renewing steps; Stop feeling hopeless and pitiful, and start feeling hope-filled and powerful instead; and Discover that when you change the way you think, you change the way feel, and in turn you can change your life completely.
Download or read book Flirting with Faith written by Joan Ball and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-05-11 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a thirty-seven-year-old, highly skeptical, deeply rational woman, Joan had it all: loving family, extravagant home, a high-profile career, even personal contentment. So Joan was more surprised than anyone when she was relieved in an instant from the luxury of spiritual doubt and compelled to realign her life around practices of faith--about which she was a novice. With an unexplainable desire to pursue whatever God had for her at whatever cost was called for, Joan left her high-salary profession, sold her home and all her furniture (with her husband’s support), and started life from a blank slate. Finally realizing that she had been flirting with faith since she was a young teen, Joan fell in love with the God who had been pursuing her. Joan candidly shares the story of her radical life change as she moved from atheist, to agnostic in addiction recovery, to the unexpected moment when she was “struck” Christian. As Joan lets go of control and convention, her skepticism is gradually replaced with a realization that embracing her new faith with radical abandon led to a far more mysterious and countercultural lifestyle than she’d ever imagined.

Download or read book Fully Loaded written by Evangelist Sandra Green and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2017-02-14 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The title of this book is Fully Loaded because this was birth out of enduring trials and storms in my life. God was the source of my anchor in holding on to his amazing strength and power to not give up and to trust His word that was hidden in my heart. I had to go back into the depth of my soul to hold fast to one particular scripture that gave me strength to endure. One was the book of Isaiah 40:31, "But those that hope in the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up like wings of an eagle; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faith." We are living in a world that does not embrace any weaknesses and love toward each other. Fully Loaded is a book that addresses some of the issues we face as believers: to endure and fight the good fight. To be assured if we have the necessary armor and possess the fruits of the Spirit, love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control, we will be able to be more than conquerors; if we are wearing the whole armor of God, we will stay fully loaded to defeat the attacks of our enemy and that we will finish the race and obtain the crown of glory, which is laid up for us. This is the reward we will all enjoy if we endure the battles of life.
