Download or read book Pray While You re Prey written by Toni L. Wortherly and published by Artistic Esquire Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where do I begin with this review? I think I should take my sisters advice and repeat what she often tells me: If I cant say amen, just say ouch. Keeping that in mind, Im over here saying ouch because author Toni L. Wortherly is on my toe stomping pretty hard with this petite but powerful book. As a single Christian woman combating some of the issues of loneliness and frustration associated with living a single life, this book speaks volumes to me. There is nothing like reading what youre going through to let the reader know they are not alone on this journey. As Ive pledged my life to following the tenants of my faith, its good to have confirmation, in the form of a book, which I can reference from time to time. Ill admit that Im not crazy about the title; I dont like to be referred to as prey or as the hunted. The Word of God says: He that finds a wife, finds a good thing so a loose translation would mean that I am prey. I would hope that my mate wouldnt refer to me in this manner. The translation would also imply that Im weak or defenseless; I feel that Im a strong vessel, who patiently awaits capture. Pray While Youre Prey is a great read for single women. Those of us who have the desire to be spiritually grounded in all that we do, can draw strength from the scripture, interpretation and study questions found at the end of each chapter. This is a book to share with your entire cadre of single sister friends as we journey down the path to closeness with God and the quest to be a virtuous woman and wife.
Download or read book Pray While You re Prey Devotions written by Toni Wortherly and published by . This book was released on 2018-06-27 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the book, "Pray While You're Prey: How God Turned my Loneliness and Frustration into Contentment and Commitment," this weekly devotion provides a year-long uplifting look through Scripture during seasons of singleness, bringing encouragement to you and others while honoring God.When I submitted the Pray While You're Prey Devotions for Singles to the Bible app, they suggested breaking it up into 7 week-long plans. Now, as I publish them as a book, I thought, "Will people commit to these devotions for year?" Here's the answer that dropped in my spirit: "It's a commitment. And isn't that what the people who read these devotions want? We should prepare for commitment by practicing commitment." Pray While You're Prey and the Pray While You're Prey Devotions are not how-to-get-a-mate guides. They are a manifestation of 2 Corinthians 1:3-4: shared experiences to help comfort others who are going through this season in the way God has comforted me.You could read them in 52 days or 52 minutes, if you are so inclined, but for maximum impact, I suggest meditating on each devotion for a week. In my personal Bible studies, I have found that I get more understanding the longer I sit with the lesson, pray about the lesson and listen to what God has to say. Doing this has taken my ability to commit to new levels. In addition to the devotions that were on the YouVersion Bible app, this book has extra devotions, as well as, journaling space to encourage you to truly seek God and record His answers and insights in this season.And remember, if you are in a relationship or start a relationship while reading this book, don't stop reading, praying and meditating because the journey is just beginning. And, the ultimate goal is building a stronger relationship with Christ. God bless you and keep you!

Book excerpt: Relationships are what life is based upon. We all make them with each decision and choice. For humans, spirits, and all forms of life in between, some bonds are never to be formed. Even still, how do you handle a relationship that is strictly forbidden? A relationship condemned and so improbable that suddenly becomes the only probable solution for your dire situation? This is Mirah's plight as she finds shelter and safety in something she's only read about, the one whose life plays out in her dreams. A mission to uncover the truth behind why many people are disappearing, as well as the disappearance of a loved one, turns Mirah's goodwill to help others into her being the one desperately needing help. Her newly discovered helper has the ability to cross between realms, both physical and spiritual. Will their connection mean the continuation of one species or the absolute torment of another? Life happens fast when running against the clock. It can hit you in unexpected places when your path's been predestined by an ancestor's selfishness and greed. Will Mirah get the help she needs to out plan, pray, or out run time?

Download or read book Pray the Gay Away written by Bernadette Barton and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2014-08-22 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2013 Finalist for the Lambda Literary Awards, LGBT Studies category Barton argues that conventional Southern manners and religious institutions provide a foundation for homophobia in the Bible Belt In the Bible Belt, it’s common to see bumper stickers that claim One Man + One Woman = Marriage, church billboards that command one to “Get right with Jesus,” letters to the editor comparing gay marriage to marrying one’s dog, and nightly news about homophobic attacks from the Family Foundation. While some areas of the Unites States have made tremendous progress in securing rights for gay people, Bible Belt states lag behind. Not only do most Bible Belt gays lack domestic partner benefits, lesbians and gay men can still be fired from some places of employment in many regions of the Bible Belt for being a homosexual. In Pray the Gay Away, Bernadette Barton argues that conventions of small town life, rules which govern Southern manners, and the power wielded by Christian institutions serve as a foundation for both passive and active homophobia in the Bible Belt. She explores how conservative Christian ideology reproduces homophobic attitudes and shares how Bible Belt gays negotiate these attitudes in their daily lives. Drawing on the remarkable stories of Bible Belt gays, Barton brings to the fore their thoughts, experiences and hard-won insights to explore the front lines of our national culture war over marriage, family, hate crimes, and equal rights. Pray the Gay Away illuminates their lives as both foot soldiers and casualties in the battle for gay rights.
