Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This story of Scattered, Smothered, and Yet Covered by the Grace of God tells the unknown, the unbelievable, and the hurt and heartache that scattered my life in 2010 with my son's dive into addiction. His addictions from pot to pills would scatter and smother me for the next eight-plus years. This isn't only a raw look into addiction and the destruction it causes, but more importantly, it is a look into a story of God's love, hope, mercy, and grace that covered me and my son during these years in addition to being covered by friendships and prayers when we couldn't cover ourselves. I learned in 2019–2020 while writing this story that there is an obvious thread woven within this story—that is, God was there in every detail along the way. I was scattered into pieces, broken beyond what I could have imagined, smothered to the point of true breathlessness, and yet covered by the grace of God each and every day. But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus sake, so that his life may also be revealed in our mortal body. So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you. I am thankful, Lord, for the refining and redemption lived within this story. I have been covered by the grace of God!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Autoimmune diseases are on the rise, affecting millions of people each year. By 2030, over five hundred million people are expected to be diagnosed with diabetes—more people than were stricken with the bubonic plague. Even today, approximately seven hundred thousand doctor’s visits are attributed to irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and it’s only getting worse. Our bodies are attacking themselves, and you may not even know it is happening to you. Why? Eating to Glorify God looks at history and retraces the steps of how these diseases began—in the process revealing how you can prevent these illnesses from affecting you, your children, and their children as well. Author Tamera Shearon encourages you to revisit God’s plan and learn what real food was created to do. She demonstrates how the food we are eating now is hurting us more than any other plague before us, and with this knowledge you can learn to control and create a much healthier lifestyle. When you eat and drink, it is all done to the glory of God. By learning about God’s original plan for our diets and lifestyle, you too can glorify God when you eat and avoid the illnesses and diseases that plague a world ignorant of the truth.
Download or read book Love Like Jesus How Jesus Loved People and how you can love like Jesus written by Kurt Bennett and published by Enoch Media. This book was released on 2020-02-11 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on Kurt Bennett's popular-ish blog God Running, Love Like Jesus begins with the story of how after a life of regular church attendance and Bible study, Bennett was challenged by a pastor to study Jesus. That led to an obsessive seven-year deep dive. After pouring over Jesus' every interaction with another human being, he realized he was doing a much better job of studying Jesus' words than he was following Jesus' words and example. The honest and fearless revelations of Bennett's own moral failures affirm he wrote this book for himself as much as for others. Love Like Jesus examines a variety of stories, examples, and research, including: -Specific examples of how Jesus communicated God's love to others. -How Jesus demonstrated all five of Gary Chapman's love languages (and how you can too). -The story of how Billy Graham extended Christ's extraordinary love and grace toward a man who misrepresented Jesus to millions. -How to respond to critics the way Jesus did. -How to love unlovable people the way Jesus did. -How to survive a life of loving like Jesus (or how not to become a Christian doormat). -How Jesus didn't love everyone the same (and why you shouldn't either). -How Jesus guarded his heart by taking care of himself--he even napped--and why you should do the same.-How Jesus loved his betrayer Judas, even to the very end. With genuine unfiltered honesty, Love Like Jesus, shows you how to live a life according to God's definition of success: A life of loving God well, and loving the people around you well too. A life of loving like Jesus.
Download or read book Grace Sticks written by Kristina Robb-Dover and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2013-10-10 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even on a bumper sticker, grace is irresistible. Grace Sticks: The Bumper Sticker Gospel for Restless Souls is light-hearted spiritual memoir and theological travel guidance for restless souls looking for more direction, more truth, and more life. Robb-Dover invites readers to reflect on how the bumper stickers they affix to their cars or entertain at traffic lights are themselves spiritual aspirations of sorts pointing to One who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. In their meanderings, with bumper stickers as pit stops, readers will laugh, cry, be provoked, and be inspired to look for God in the most seemingly frivolous and unlikely of places. They'll discover in the process there's as much grace to be found in the journeying itself as in the destination.

Download or read book Redeeming a Prison Society written by Amy Levad and published by Augsburg Fortress Publishers. This book was released on 2014 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States criminal justice system is in a state of crisis, from unprecedented rates of imprisonment and recidivism to the privatization of the prison system and the disproportionate representation of particular racial, ethnic, social, and economic groups, all of which is within a larger social justice context. Catholics and Protestants have largely failed to offer vital theological responses. Amy Levad offers a Catholic perspective that directly addresses the concrete issues from a strongly interdisciplinary approach and utilizes the rich liturgical and sacramental resources of penance and Eucharist to offer a theological vision of reform.
Download or read book 1 and 2 Peter written by Robert Leighton and published by Crossway. This book was released on 1999-04-01 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Original works by godly writers, tailored for the understanding of today's reader For hundreds of years Christendom has been blessed with Bible commentaries written by great men of God who were highly respected for their godly walk and their insight into spiritual truth. The Crossway Classic Commentary Series, carefully adapted for maximum understanding and usefulness, presents the very best work on individual Bible books for today's believers. Addressed to persecuted believers, Peter's first letter encourages them with the knowledge that it is possible to live victoriously in the midst of hostility—just as Christ, who suffered unjustly, did. He exhorts them to live a holy life that they might be a witness and evangelize the world through their faithfulness. In his second epistle, Peter warns against the more subtle dangers from within the church—false teachers and errant doctrine. He also emphasizes the importance of scriptural knowledge, for only in understanding true doctrine will heresies be known and immoral behavior be exposed. Robert Leighton and Griffith Thomas's exploration of 1 and 2 Peter's key passages offers resounding wisdom that will both instruct and encourage all Christians.
