Download or read book Gospel Glitter Learning to Shine in the Darkness written by Lindsay Corbett and published by Trilogy Christian Publishing. This book was released on 2020-10-14 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A story of the light of truth, hope, and faith discovered even in the midst of dark and hopeless circumstances. The heavy darkness of sadness, loneliness, infertility, suffering, and even grief cannot compare with the light of truth found only in Jesus Christ. Gospel Glitter represents the light of the Gospel and how such tiny appearing sparkles have the potential of shining brighter together and providing hope to the hopeless and strength to the weak. Emotional turmoil related to hardships of life, trauma, or suffering may leave you feeling hopeless, but allowing God's Word to be illuminated leaves His Word having the final say. In a world of darkness, let the Gospel of Jesus Christ be the shining evidence of His restoration and redemption power. Knowing the Word of God can shed light on the darkest nights of our lives. Also, it allows us to know the heart of our Creator, a loving God, whose plans are greater than anything we could ever plan on our own. My prayer is that the light of the Gospel will reveal a strategy to you and combat the emotional consequences of hardship in life.

Download or read book The Centurion s Wife Acts of Faith Book 1 written by Janette Oke and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Janette Oke has dreamed for years of retelling a story in a biblical time frame from a female protagonist's perspective, and Davis Bunn is elated to be working with her again on this sweeping saga of the dramatic events surrounding the birth of Christianity...and the very personal story of Leah, a young Jewess of mixed heritage trapped in a vortex of competing political agendas and private trauma. Caught up in the maelstrom following the death of an obscure rabbi in the Roman backwater of first-century Palestine, Leah finds herself also engulfed in her own turmoil--facing the prospect of an arranged marriage to a Roman soldier, Alban, who seems to care for nothing but his own ambitions. Head of the garrison near Galilee, he has been assigned by Palestine's governor to ferret out the truth behind rumors of a political execution gone awry. Leah's mistress, the governor's wife, secretly commissions Leah also to discover what really has become of this man whose death--and missing body--is causing such furor. This epic drama is threaded with the tale of an unlikely romance and framed with dangers and betrayals from unexpected sources. At its core, The Centurion's Wife unfolds the testing of loyalties--between two young people whose inner searchings they cannot express, between their irreconcilable heritages, and ultimately between their humanity and the Divine they yearn to encounter.

Download or read book Do You Believe written by William E. Marsh and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2020-10-11 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We all believe. Be it in love, God, Santa Claus, or the workings of an internal combustion engine, we all believe in something. After all, we’re only human. Belief, however, is hardly black and white. It’s one thing to believe in things we can see. It’s quite another to believe in things we cannot. And another task altogether to trust in things we cannot see. Like God. Faith isn’t easy. But it’s us: we’re finite beings. Faith recognizes our limits; it acknowledges life’s ambiguity. And it counters these with its understanding of what is most true—God. This book is a story about faith. It’s a story of learning to trust in a supernatural God in a material world. It’s a meditation on living with, as philosopher Soren Kierkegaard put it, “objective uncertainty.” It’s a tale of learning to live with an invisible God.
