Download or read book Pilgrimage written by Lynn Austin and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2013-11-05 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We all encounter times when our spirit feels dry, when doubt looms. The opportunity to tour Israel came at a good time. For months, my life has been a mindless plodding through necessary routine, as monotonous as an all-night shift on an assembly line. Life gets that way sometimes, when nothing specific is wrong but the world around us seems drained of color. Even my weekly worship experiences and daily quiet times with God have felt as dry and stale as last year's crackers. I'm ashamed to confess the malaise I've felt. I have been given so much. Shouldn't a Christian's life be an abundant one, as exciting as Christmas morning, as joyful as Easter Sunday? With gripping honesty, Lynn Austin pens her struggles with spiritual dryness in a season of loss and unwanted change. Tracing her travels throughout Israel, Austin seamlessly weaves events and insights from the Word . . . and in doing so finds a renewed passion for prayer and encouragement for her spirit, now full of life and hope.

The power of the imagination, according to Sandra Levy - a power that has been seriously depleted in today's postmodern culture. To address and redress this deficit, Levy explores how the imagination expresses itself - through ritual, music, poetry, art, story - and focuses on specific practices that can exercise and enrich our spiritual capacity, thus opening us up to divine encounter.

Forced to beg from hut to hut in search of food, Charles scrapes out a meagre existence while trying to come to terms with his abusive past and seemingly hopeless future. As a teenager, Charles is invited by a friend to a crusade where he commits his life to Christ. That act begins a unique adventure of faith, miracles, and a passion for reaching street children. After years of struggle, Charles experiences unprecedented success. He finds a wonderful wife, raises a family, excels in business to such a degree that he creates an empire that is noticed by the President of Kenya. Charles becomes a pinnacle in the Church movement, but then his life changes again. In spite of his tremendous achievements, the plight of the growing street children problem in his country remains strong in Charles' heart. He is unable to shut out their cries, the cries he understands so well, and he realizes he must respond. Convicted by God to give away all his possessions, Charles sells everything to pursue his passion of rescuing street children from the slums of Kenya. He battles against corrupt religious establishments, supernatural enemies, and intense financial pressures to bring hope to those whose lives reflect his own childhood. Mully Children's Family (MCF) Orphanage was founded and established by Charles and Esther Mulli in response to the desperate needs of street children, abandoned children, and HIV/AIDS orphans in Kenya in 1989. Father to the Fatherless is the true story of a man whose life begins in desperate poverty, moves to riches, and finally servanthood, where he becomes a real-life demonstration of selfless love and sacrifice that challenges us to evaluate the cost of giving up all to God in the service of others.

Download or read book My Journey with God written by Maxine Y. Skinner and published by . This book was released on 2019-08-27 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My Journey with God is the story of my lifelong search for life's meaning. My dad had a drinking problem, and my mother had a problem with me. I am the oldest of five children, and I often felt like the parent in our family. We were not a church-going family, but at the age of thirteen, a friend invited me to go to church with her, and I had a life-changing experience that night. I literally saw Jesus sitting on a throne in a white robe, and more importantly, He saw me! My story is one of love, hope, and second chances! God can take a wounded, broken spirit, and not only restore it, but He can make it even better than it had been. Sometimes we wounded people, feel very alone, and our insecurities tell us that there are some things that we will just have to live with, but I am here to tell you that it does not have to be that way. God wants to give us everything He has, but our problem is that we do not know how to claim it. This story, shared from my heart, will touch you, inspire you, and give you hope!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The word ‘journey’ is a common metaphor used to describe our time here on Earth. Everyone's journey of life is unique and it can change direction, at any time, for any reason, by our own choice or by conditions imposed upon us. This booklet is about one quite ordinary life journey – mine – a dominant feature of which is a journey to faith in God. I was brought up in India as a god-fearing Hindu mainly because of the influence my mother's religious practices had on me. But my life as a Hindu radically changed direction when I was confronted by the God of the Bible. I respectfully discuss my experiences both as a Hindu and as a Christian and present my reasons for the change of spiritual direction in my life. I hope you find this booklet an encouragement in your own journey of life.
