Download or read book Lord Forgive Me written by David L. Wade and published by CSS Publishing. This book was released on 1989 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This all new collection of prayers will involve each member of your congregation in an informal, first-person personal style that both demands individual accountability (which corporate prayer too often allows us to avoid), and encourages the sense of community upon which Christian worship is built -- affirming "that, as we gather for worship, we are both individual seekers and believers and also the Body of Christ." Included are original Prayers of Confession for each Sunday, and special days, throughout the church year, developed as a result of the author's nearly twenty years in campus and parish ministries. Whether read aloud or contemplated silently, these tried and proven prayers will add a freshly honest, contemporary texture to your Sunday morning worship -- or provide meaningful insight for Bible study classes and personal devotions. David L. Wade is pastor of the First Congregational Church, United Church of Christ, of Rock Springs, Wyoming. He is a graduate of Hanover College, Hanover, Indiana; Eden Theological Seminary, Webster Groves, Missouri; and Ball State University, Muncie, Indiana. In addition to serving parishes of the United Church of Christ in Indiana, he was an Ecumenical Campus Minister at Ball State University for thirteen years prior to assuming his present position.

Download or read book I Didn T Want to Be That Girl written by Sue A. Allen and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2016-02-25 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How many times have we pointed a finger at EveGods first created woman, who took a bite of the apple after being tempted by a serpent? Although her name is only mentioned in four verses of Scripture, she was made infamous for her greatest debacle. We tend to blame her for our own personal dramas. Eve had everything; she lived in paradise, in a carefree, pain-free, sorrow-free world. In spite of this, she was unsatisfied, and she sinned. God, however, looked beyond her sin and pursued her as part of a bigger story. Surprisingly, He doesnt focus on her sin but rather considered her His bride, the bride of Christ. Building on the story of Eve, I Didnt Want to Be That Girl! A Look into the Life of Eve presents a Bible study designed for women and exploring a variety of topics. Author Sue Allen considers Gods silence, His goodness, our humility, our struggles with sin, and our need to learn to hear Gods voice. She also examines Godly womanhood, holiness, insecurity, motivations of the heart, restoration and forgiveness, and much, much more. This devotional offers eight weeks of personal, interactive, conversational-style Bible study with daily prompts leading to confession. We, as women, must recognize our need for a Savior, Jesus Christ and realize that we are all sinners, saved by Gods grace, and His grace alone. Just like Eve, we didnt want to be that girl. And despite our flawed pasts and imperfections, we have been created to be the bride of Christ. Through keen insight and real-life vulnerability, Sue Allen unfolds the true nature of what it means to be the bride of Christ. Whether you are happily single, contemplating marriage, or long-time espoused, her fresh wisdom will beckon you to join her in preparing your heart anew for the King of Kings. The bridegroom is coming! What a joy it is to get ready for Him together. Tonya Riggle Pastors Wife and Bible Study Teacher Second Baptist Church, Houston Knowing Sue and her heart to have women embrace our inheritance that we have in Christ allows me to not only put my stamp of approval on this study, but to use it in our ministry to college athletes and our staff that ministers to these athletes. Sue Allens desire for women to live the abundant life in Christ is immediately noticed within minutes of being in her presence. Thank you, Sue, for your passion to study the Word and your love affair with Christ. April Nelson Womens Leadership Team Athletes in Action

Download or read book What Is God s Mystery written by Michael Cox and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2015-05-15 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you heard about Gods mystery? Were you aware that when God finally revealed the truth of this mystery, its power changed the course of history? What is Gods Mystery? opens anew the door to Gods greatest plan, and explains how it continues to affect each of us today. Plus, have you ever been asked other questions about the Bible that were difficult to answer? We have. These inquiries have come from church members, our family, close friends, and even our own curiosity. As an example, how would you answer a question like, If God made everything (John 1:3) and everything was good (Genesis 1:31), then where did Satan and the demons come from? People have wrestled with questions such as, When we die do we become angels and play harps in heaven? What does the Bible tell us about hell, or the date of the end of time? How can we know Gods will for our lives? Also, what does the Bible say about personal issues such as drinking wine, going to the movies, watching television, or judging others? What is Gods design for sex and marriage in todays changing world? Did you realize Jesus actually mentions four conditions of man? These were questions that we felt deserved deeper answers than the traditional responses. Our concentrated search into Gods Word has resulted in discoveries, supported by scripture, that we believe are so important they need to be made available for anyone who honestly desires to know Gods will. We believe you will find this study very rewarding. And, more importantly, it might spark an interest in studying the Bible that will help you better know its real Author the Lord God Almighty.

Download or read book Death Couldn t Convince Me written by Kris Jugler and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-04 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Homeless at age 14, Kris used his athletic ability to claw his way through public school and then nearly through college. However, the deep scars of his past began to take over. Broken and defeated at age twenty-two, having sabotaged his college team, his scholarship, his mind, and what he thought was the love of his life, darkness made its claim. Fed up, believing the challenges he and his siblings were forced to endure were vastly unjust, he gave up all belief and hope in God. Having a near death experience, Kris was still unable to overcome his atheist beliefs. In addition, as astonishing as being on the other side of the veil was, it did not convince him that God lived nor did he find the experience religiously significant. It was only after four years of deep dark depression that a real miracle took place. Read and find out how a boy and his siblings endured one traumatic set back after another. Then after finding what he thought were the keys to happiness, Kris had to face one more trial that threatens the very fibers that he has believed in. Was his childhood catching up with him once again or was it his strict obedience to Mormon doctrine that caused this latest collapse?

Download or read book Janice Holt Giles written by Dianne W. Stuart and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2014-07-11 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1946, at the age of 41, Janice Holt Giles wrote her first novel. Although it took her only three months to complete the first draft, working at night so as not to conflict with her secretarial job, it was another four years before The Enduring Hills was published. Three years later, when her sixth novel appeared, Janice Holt Giles's works had accumulated sales of nearly two million copies. Between 1950 and 1975 she wrote twenty-four books, most of which were bestsellers, regularly reviewed in the New York Times, and selected for inclusion in popular book clubs. Her picture held pride of place in her literary agent's New York office, alongside those of Willa Cather, H.G. Wells, and Edith Wharton, yet until now there has been no biography of this immensely popular American writer. Humbly professing to be "just a good storyteller," Giles was a keen observer of life with great sensitivity, an ear for language, and a superb imagination. Her artistic achievements become even more remarkable when placed in the context of her often difficult personal struggles. Dianne Watkins Stuart, for years the acknowledged expert on Giles's work, has traced the path of her unique life. Stuart walked around the small house where Giles's brother was born and The Kinta Years (1973) had its origin, wandered through the yard where The Plum Thicket (1954) grew, and made countless trips to Adair County, Kentucky, to trace the trails of the Piney Ridge trilogy ( The Enduring Hills, Miss Willie, Tara's Healing) and seek out the day-to-day life of her later years. Stuart's long-anticipated biography provides both a narrative of Giles's life and an in-depth description of the art and commerce of American publishing in the middle years of the century.
