Rev. Peter G. Vu is a Catholic priest of the Diocese of Grand Rapids, Michigan, for twenty years. He was born in Saigon City (currently Ho Chi Minh City), Viet Nam. Vu was a young boy when the Viet Nam War ended. He witnessed the war and the end of it with great horror and deep appreciation for peace. Vu had to grow up with the communist government system and endure lots of hardship with them for over a decade. What helped him and many of his countrymen tremendously during those dark days was their faith and prayers. Hence, a love for prayers and meditations was able to blossom. Also, Vu was able to learn and exchange new ideas on prayers and meditations with many of his Buddhist friends despite having different faith traditions.

Download or read book Risk Is Right written by John Piper and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2013-01-31 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A choice lies before you: Either waste your life or live with risk. Either sit on the sidelines or get in the game. After all, life was no cakewalk for Jesus, and he didn't promise it would be any easier for his followers. We shouldn't be surprised by resistance and persecution. Yet most of us play it safe. We pursue comfort. We spend ourselves to get more stuff. And we prefer to be entertained. We are all tempted by the idea of security, the possibility of a cozy Christianity with no hell at the end. But what kind of life is that really? It's a far cry from adventurous and abundant, from truly rich and really full, and it's certainly not the heights and the depths Jesus calls us to. Discover in these pages a foundation for fearlessness. Hear God's promise to go with you into the unknown. And let Risk Is Right help you see the joys of a faith-filled and seriously rewarding life of Jesus-dependent abandon! Risk Is Right is a significantly expanded version of a chapter previously published in the book Don't Waste Your Life (chapter 5).

Book excerpt: Written by a pastor and father who has walked a painful road, Hope When Life Unravels explores the encouraging, upside-down truths of the book of Job, and other key Bible passages, to remind us of the ways God is present in our pain. Why does God allow suffering? And why does God seem to go silent when we're in pain? In Hope When Life Unravels, Dr. Adam Dooley, pastor and host of the daily radio broadcast A Better Way, searches for answers to our biggest questions about suffering as he shares his son Carson's story of battling leukemia. Adam speaks openly about the gut-wrenching struggle his family endured for three years of life-threatening illness and how God met them in their hours of need--even when it wasn't in the ways they wanted. And, along with his own story, Adam takes readers through the story of Job, unpacking insights about God's character, his love, and how we can stay connected to him even during seasons of pain. Both inspiring and comforting, Hope When Life Unravels invites us to draw closer to a God who is often active in our lives in times when we have trouble seeing him the most.

Download or read book Providence written by John Piper and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2021-02-09 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New from Best-Selling Author John Piper From Genesis to Revelation, the providence of God directs the entire course of redemptive history. Providence is "God's purposeful sovereignty." Its extent reaches down to the flight of electrons, up to the movements of galaxies, and into the heart of man. Its nature is wise and just and good. And its goal is the Christ-exalting glorification of God through the gladness of a redeemed people in a new world. Drawing on a lifetime of theological reflection, biblical study, and practical ministry, pastor and author John Piper leads us on a stunning tour of the sightings of God's providence—from Genesis to Revelation—to discover the allencompassing reality of God's purposeful sovereignty over all of creation and all of history. Piper invites us to experience the profound effects of knowing the God of all-pervasive providence: the intensifying of true worship, the solidifying of wavering conviction, the strengthening of embattled faith, the toughening of joyful courage, and the advance of God's mission in this world.

Download or read book Finding God in the Everyday written by Lillie Ammann and published by . This book was released on 2017-10-24 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We expect to find God in church and in our private devotions. But have you ever wondered where He is the rest of the time-especially when things go wrong? With humor and poignancy, author Lillie Ammann shares how she finds God in the everyday experiences of her life. If you like the smell of cookies in the oven and watching reruns of The Waltons, you will love the folksy flavor of Finding God in the Everyday. Molly Noble Bull, Christian romance author, www.mollynoblebull.com Lillie has written a refreshingly insightful book. Though at times I took a different theological point of view, most often I found myself thinking of ways in which the Scriptures, the stories, and the heartfelt prayers could be applied to my daily life. This book is practical, inspiring, and highly readable. Terry L. Sumerlin, Conference speaker and author, www.terrysumerlin.com Lillie Ammann shares stories from her life, showing great insight in how God has used these experiences to help her and others grow in their faith. This book will encourage everyone who reads it to look for God's hand in their daily lives. Janet Kaderli, Christian author, www.janetkaderli.com I've been privileged to be Lillie Ammann's priest for 13 years. She's like an onion...lots of layers of wonderful experience, wit, humor, and talent. And God has used those layers in her devotional book. It in, you will find "Miss Lillie"-pithy, direct, and easily-understood. That comes out, as we would have said in my military career, "loud and clear." Some other things come out: faith, perseverance, and a lifetime of learning at our Master's nail-scarred feet-things money can't buy. Miss Lillie has applied the narrative of her diverse life to one point-growing in the Grace and Love of Jesus Christ. She's literally taken her life and given it to us to share what she's learned at each juncture. It's a rare gift, and certainly one that will better our world, as she shares her hope in Jesus through the vehicle of her remarkable perspective. Read this and grow in Him Who is our Hope. The Venerable Father CB "Chip" Harper++, Anglican Archdeacon Emeritus of San Antonio, Texas "Where's God" is a question everyone asks, particularly when life brings heartaches and difficulties. Lillie Amman answers the question by pulling back the curtain, allowing us to see and feel her personal struggles to find God's presence in the good, the bad, and the ugly of daily life. Her message: we too can find God when we stop, look, and listen. Lillie writes with passion and emotion; she allows us to walk beside her and see her discovery of God in her daily life. Her stories are so real and compelling the book is hard to put down. Each chapter includes two items from her experience: a Bible verse showing God does show up and a prayer. Where's God, you ask? He's here with us; we can find Him in our daily life when we look. Ben Ferguson, Adopt-a-Chaplain You have within your grasp a key to 'Finding God in the Everyday' or you would not be reading these sentences. Know this, and be prepared for its impact: this little book may be God's way to help you do just that-to find God in the everyday. That said, as my friend Lillie helps us learn (though she never says it quite this way): the fact is we don't really need to find God. Nor does He need to find us. He knows right where we are. If we are honest, we know right where He is, too. If we open our eyes, we can see Him. If we open our ears, we can hear Him. If we open our hearts, we can know Him, for "He is not far from any one of us, for in Him we live and move and have our being" (Acts 17:27b-28). the end, I think you, too, will think of her as a friend. The faith and stories shared in these pages are not only inspiring, they are instructive. They are helpful. They are down-home. They are everyday. They are otherworldly. Read and be blessed. Welcome to the life of knowing God in the miraculous, other-worldly, plain ol' everyday. Fr. J
