Book excerpt: Do you remember when you first fell in love? When you fell in love with Jesus, was it much the same? Did you spend countless hours paring over Scripture? Did sleep suddenly seem mundane as you rose at pre-dawn each day to meet with him? Was every sunset an expression of his love? Isn't this the place we all long to return to within our spiritual fives? We desire the bliss of an intimate, unrestrained love relationship with God. Playdates with GOD is a story of how God woos us back to himself. It's the story of how, when we step out of our ordinary grown-up lives and set aside time for wonder, our hearts are once again turned to our first love, But this is more than a story about falling in love. It's about staying in love. Book jacket.

Book excerpt: It has been a blessing to be drawn into Cathy's "Playdates with God." Her daily time spent with the Father and translated onto the written page have been an inspiration for the reader to realize they too have accessibility to the Father. She is able to share an intimacy with our heavenly Father that causes us all to "look upward" and go in search of that same life-changing encounter. And that is her goal...to help all of us to be ushered into that place of open communion with the one who loves us most! Laurie Pisarkiewicz Jewish Roots Ambassador 1 Samuel 3:1 states "In those days a word from the Lord was rare, and a vision infrequent," in my opinion that is once again sadly the case. Cathy wants to change that and bring a word and vision from the Lord to you in a personal way. I can personally affirm that Cathy has this kind of relationship with God and desires that you will too. I highly recommend her book to help bring this about, and have fun too! -John R. Young M.A. LLPC Cathy Perrou is a Christian with a hunger for a real and powerful relationship with Jesus.

Download or read book Raising Sinners written by Lisa Clark and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2016-05-12 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lisa's parenting journey began over 26 years ago, but it wasn't until she started teaching bible study at Prestonwood Baptist Church that the Lord told her "parenting" was her niche. God gave Lisa a word about biblical parenting, and so she started the process of teaching and encouraging moms throughout the Dallas area. This led her to partner with Sky Ranch Christian Camps in 2007 and the development of SkyMoms Ministry with her friend and Sky Ranch CEO, Linda Paulk. Lisa has a unique teaching style, which couples humor and personal stories of raising her own two daughters with biblical insights. Grounded in God's Word, Lisa has a passion for encouraging moms in the day-to-day struggles of parenting preteens and teens."I am not a perfect parent and realize that as long as I am covered in flesh, I will fall short on a daily basis. But I also realize that God has given me what I need to parent confidently. Confident parenting is the key. I am the parent and God has commissioned me to be the parent. I have a responsibility to give Him, my husband and my children my very best." Lisa is married to Brad, her husband of almost 30 years, and they are enjoying their empty nest in Frisco, Texas. They have two daughters, Caroline and Camryn. Caroline and her husband, Brent, lead a ministry in Norman, Oklahoma called Crossover Norman. Camryn is engaged to Brett and the newlyweds will reside in Dallas."
Download or read book Wild and Free written by Jess Connolly and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2016-05-03 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You don't have to be everything to everyone. You don't have to try so hard to button it up and hold it together. Join best friends and coauthors Jess Connolly and Hayley Morgan as they reveal how women today can walk in the true liberty we already have in Jesus. For all the fullness of God available to his daughters, we often feel limited by two defining insecurities: "I am too much" and "I am not enough." Jess and Hayley felt the same until one essential question turned the tables: If God is wild and free and he created women, what does this mean for us today? Wild and Free is an invitation to find freedom from the cultural captivity that holds us back, and freedom to step into God's wild and holy call in our lives. Jess and Hayley answer difficult questions that so many women have asked them over the years, including: How do I compete with the burden of expectation of what women are "supposed" to be? Where do I actually fit in? How can I start living out my God-given identity every day of my life? With fresh biblical insight tracing all the way back to Eve and a treasury of practical application, Jess and Hayley reveal how women today can walk in the true liberty we already have in Jesus--because you certainly don't have to quiet the voice that God gave you when he created you to sing. Wild and Free will help you shake off the lies of insecurity in your life and step forward to maximize your God-given influence for his glory and the world's good.

Download or read book The Monkhood of All Believers written by Greg Peters and published by Baker Academic. This book was released on 2018-11-06 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the institution of monasticism has existed in the Christian church since the first century, it is often misunderstood. Greg Peters, an expert in monastic studies, reintroduces historic monasticism to the Protestant church, articulating a monastic spirituality for all believers. As Peters explains, what we have known as monasticism for the past 1,500 years is actually a modified version of the earliest monastic life, which was not necessarily characterized by poverty, chastity, and obedience but rather by one's single-minded focus on God--a single-mindedness rooted in one's baptismal vows and the priesthood of all believers. Peters argues that all monks are Christians, but all Christians are also monks. To be a monk, one must first and foremost be singled-minded toward God. This book presents a theology of monasticism for the whole church, offering a vision of Christian spirituality that brings together important elements of history and practice. The author connects monasticism to movements in contemporary spiritual formation, helping readers understand how monastic practices can be a resource for exploring a robust spiritual life.
Download or read book Thirty Three Dates with God written by Allison Cain and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-06-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever been a little jealous or suspicious when someone said God had spoken to them? Have you ever felt a little "less Christian" for not having heard from Him yourself? All that is going to change with this book! If you are like most of us, we don't run across burning bushes or talking donkeys very often. So how does God speak to us these days? How do we tune our ears to His voice? Good news! You don't need a divinity degree or even know the books of the Bible in order. God speaks to each of us regardless of where we have been, what we have done, or where we are in our faith. God's word is living and relevant. He has something personal, specific, and meaningful to share with us. In all relationships, sometimes we just need to stop talking and listen and let the other person be heard. This book takes you on thirty-three dates with God. You will move gradually from first date material, where I walk you through each step of scripture meditation, based on an ancient practice called Lectio Divina. Gradually, you will move to complete independence in your time with God. By taking time to sit in His presence and listen for His voice through Lectio Divina, you will experience God personally and learn to recognize His voice. No one can give you this skill. Like all relationships, it takes time and must be cultivated. Through scripture meditation, you will be the one saying, "God spoke to me and said . . . " Are you ready for your first date?
