Download or read book On My Way Home I Bumped into God written by Raymond J. Golarz and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2016-11-10 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book the authors use stories to take you on a journey that explores the strategies God uses to ensure that we come His way. The stories are often gentle, portraying, for example, the innocence that can occur only in childhood, or the pure joy that is experienced when a child recovering from a brain tumor comes home to stay. But the stories can also be graphically disturbing as is seen in the description of a factory co-worker whose arm is crushed in a massive press or the horrific depiction of the senseless beating of an adolescent child. However, all the stories will show how God acts directly or indirectly in our lives. As you read, you will see Gods unexpected presentation of Himself in the form of a Chicago beggar and His warm presence in the eyes of a younger brother. Other stories reveal that God never gives up on us, placing in our lives people who teach us about the strength, wisdom, compassion, and courage needed to love and finally come home to Him. Unlike what some of us may have been taught about a God of vengeance and power, this book focuses upon a God of compassion and boundless love and upon the patient heart of the Father aching for response, the Lover who without reciprocation continues to love. Chapter after chapter, examples are given to show how God is constantly sweeping and making clear our path to Him. From the time of our birth, we are all on our journey home. In the opinion of the authors, those nudges and bumps we feel on the way are never accidental. They are the prodding and pushing of a God who simply refuses to let us go, a God who is the consummate lover.

It was easy believing when the world surrounding him was bright and beautiful. It was easy when he was with family and friends. Then his grandfather sent him on a quest. A quest to fi nd his father at the battlefront. Michael fi nds himself surrounded by danger and bleakness on the way to war. He knew he needed to be strong as he collected the pieces of the full armor of God. The full armor of God would protect him when he reached his father and fought with him. Can Michael do it? Can he gather the pieces of God’s armor in time? Will the temptation to run away be too great to overcome? Will the new friends he makes on his quest be able to help him in battle? Will his faith in the True King be enough to see him through his trials? Although Michael’s story takes place long ago and far away, it is an important reminder that we need to face each day cloaked in the full armor of God. Ephesians 6: 13-18
Download or read book Romans Road For The Deaf A Step Of Faith written by Bryan Palumbo and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2017-06-20 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Will God still use you if you wander away from Him and later repent? Many Christians think that God could never use them in His service because they were backslidden for a long time. It's difficult for them to get involved in a church ministry because they feel guilty and ashamed for straying away from the Lord. Even after they have repented and God has led them back to the church to grow strong in the Lord daily, they continue to struggle in the area of service. I know; I was one of them. However, one night at a missions conference, a missionary family sang a song, "Here am I, Lord, Send Me," and I asked God if He would send me and use me. God opened the door for me to go to the DeafNation World Expo with the Silent Word Ministries International team. During the week, God stirred my soul by showing me that Deaf people around the world need the Lord Jesus. For twenty-seven years, I was a careless Christian and lived with the attitude that "God will forgive me all the time." God finally broke my hard heart and let me see what He really wanted me to do. Through the burden God gave me to reach the Deaf around the world, Romans Road for the Deaf was born. It was a faith ministry, and we had to step out in faith and trust Him to start. The beginning was rough. However, God is always good, and He has saved many Deaf and Hearing souls at DeafNation expos. In this book, you will be inspired to read how God has worked in us and through us in His powerful ways to reach many thousands in just eight hours a day at every city where we have been. I pray that these stories will be a blessing to you and will help you to witness for Jesus with gladness and boldness wherever God may use you.

This book was released on 2024-08-16 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of society’s main problems today is a lack of self-love; this is evident in the way most people live their lives – sadly, I was also part of the statistic. The fact that I was not living life to the full bothered me in many ways. I was not running my own race; I constantly compared myself to others; I had not accepted myself for who I was, and I had not taken full responsibility for my life. I was merely alive and confused. Although everything on the outside looked good, I felt miserable. I learned the hard way that what goes on inside us is more important than what people can see. A lack of self-love impacted most areas of my life negatively - I knew something needed to change. Once I had surrendered my life to God, He helped me see my own value. I started May to May – My Journey to Self-love with God to move my life in the right direction. After discovering the 20 components that lead to self-love, my life has never been the same. I could finally accept myself just as I was. I am proud to say there is no other race I would rather run than my own. I needed to love myself first, so I could truly live.
Download or read book The Successful Slave written by Ethan Ho and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2016-12-13 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What was the most stinging moment that you have experienced, one that might have hurt you deeply and caused you to be angry, bitter, or even hopeless? One of mine was when I received my performance review after clocking an average sixty-hour work week for eight months in a new position. I devoted myself to overcoming the challenges and excelling in my job. I stayed in faith and trusted in God for a breakthrough. It ended with my supervisor telling me, You know what? I think I made a mistake in employing you. Ironically, through the passage of time, God turned the same situation bottom up while transforming me inside out. I later conceded that my supervisor was right. Similarly, Joseph fell from being a highly favored son to being a lowly servant before he ascended supernaturally to become the second most powerful man in Egypt. Yet Joseph still faced challenges after his promotion. Written by a nonministerial Christian, The Successful Slave speaks of a journey of spiritual and emotional growth. It explores the meaning of success when God called Joseph successful at one of the lowest points of his life. It brings hope to its readers through personal testimonies that resonate with the challenges that everyone faces in their everyday lives. Using the backdrop of Josephs story, the faithfulness of God is seen manifesting in my life as a full-time working adult. Every chapter not only speaks of Gods goodness toward me but also ends with an encounter in which I share Gods goodness with people around me. Be encouraged.

I reached up and touched the cherub to see if it was real. A shock hit me, and I passed out. Ever since then, I can hear and see things. I heard a voice telling me what to write in this book and how to tie it into the first book I wrote, Spirit Led DNA. I have had out-of-body experiences. An angel would come and take me to places and show me things to come. I wrote of this angel in the book. Read and see into the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I Am Happier to Know You is the inspiring story of how, on wings of faith, single, midlife author and seasoned freelance journalist Jeanne M. Eck left her comfortable home in Washington, D.C. and moved to Egypt -Alone! I Am Happier to Know You is timely and timeless. It offers the opportunity for those in the West to understand a culture and religion many have come to fear. Those in the East are fascinated to see their culture reflected back through the eyes and heart of a Western woman who blossomed in the embrace of their warmth, humor, compassion, and sweetness. Many Egyptians have said that they are amazed that a foreigner understands them so well. With candor, grace and wit, Eck writes from her heart as well as her funny bone. She details her struggle to integrate into a society so different from the one she was raised in, what she learned from Egyptians about their culture and faith, what they taught her about herself, and how Egypt and her people changed her. Forever. I Am Happier to Know You is also about grasping the opportunity to live life at its fullest, to honor our intuition, and then to follow our dreams. Eck shares how embracing our similarities rather than condemning our differences enables us to release our judgments, prejudices and misconceptions. It is about love and the belief that in knowing we cannot hate; in understanding, we can only love. Ultimately, her most important message is that when we make peace within ourselves, we create peace within our world.

In these pages, we will find friends stuck forever in the same class at school while the world changes around them; travelers forced to seek shelter in a battered, windy hostel after a landslide; parents struggling to deal with displacement as they move away from Kashmir with their children, or loneliness as their children leave in search of better prospects; the cabin fever of living through a curfew . . .
