Book excerpt: Glorianne Swenson is launching her first book with a compilation of nostalgic stories she has written in creative non-fiction form. People have thanked her for her transparancy in writing, as you will also see as you become a part of her life through this heart-warming book. These are real people and real places, and they could be any one of us or anywhere. Her Aunt Tillie could be anyone's Aunt Tillie and will ring true to her readers. As she weaves her way through her nostalgic childhood memories of her favorite season, living with an outdoor privy and no running water, wearing feed sack dresses, rural school and fresh varnish; her friends and family become your friends and family. As the fabric is intricately woven into a fine garment, she writes of losing a baby, her view of the rural cemetery, and how she met her husband and the careful putting together of a wedding on a shoe-string budget. She remembers the old red barn, her own brush with death, and the quiet guest of death knocking as her 66-year-old sister goes to her eternal home. There is fun, laughter, healing tears and many sighs as the thread dances gracefully with the needle of each story so eloquently put together with love and care. Enduring faith ties the knots of love exactly where they need to be, while the back of the fabric shows the rough ends, and the needle picks up in a new place over and over again in her life experiences. Plan to curl up under a blanket as Glorianne shares this well tuned symphony of touching stories.

Hear, O Lord, and have mercy upon me; O Lord, be my helper." You have turned my wailing into dancing; you have put off my sack-cloth and clothed me with joy. Therefore my heart sings to you without ceasing; O Lord my God, I will give you thanks for ever. -Psalm 30:9-13 Just as the plea of the psalmist is resolved with hope-filled praise for the Creator, so the eye-witnesses to 9/11 in Will the Dust Praise You? move from stunned disbelief to hopeful action. Their stories recount the halting but steady movement toward healing and reconciliation.

Download or read book Life Lessons from Psalms written by Max Lucado and published by HarperChristian Resources. This book was released on 2019-04-02 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Worship is a daunting but important part of discipleship. For that reason, God gave us the Psalms... This collection of hymns and petitions was written over a span of centuries, in many different settings, by kings such as David and Solomon and commoners like Asaph, Heman, and the sons of Korah. Some of the psalms are defiant; others are reverent. Some are meant to be sung; others are to be prayed. Some are intensely personal; others are communal. But all have one purpose—to help us express our hears to God. As you read, study, journal, and discuss the book of Psalms, watch for these key themes that Max will unpack throughout the book: God is worthy of all worship. God will defend his people against their enemies. Being in relationship with God is the key to all joy and security. The Life Lessons with Max Lucado series brings the Bible to life in twelve lessons filled with intriguing questions, inspirational stories, and poignant reflections to take you deeper into God's Word. Each lesson includes: An opening reflection on the Bible book you're studying. Background information to deepen your understanding of the cultural and historical setting. An excerpt of the text (from the NIV and the NKJV). Exploration questions with plenty of room to write your own thoughts and notes. Inspirational thoughts from Max as well as a closing takeaway for further reflection. The Life Lessons series is ideal for use in both a small-group setting or for individual study.
