Book excerpt: Using the Biblical story of Naomi, Dr. Larry Crabb shows you how to look through life's tragedies to see the lavish blessings God has for you in Shattered Dreams. “Shattered dreams,” writes Dr. Larry Crabb, “are never random. They are always a piece in a larger puzzle, a chapter in a larger story. The Holy Spirit uses the pain of shattered dreams to help us discover our desire for God, to help us begin dreaming the highest dream.” To help you understand this neglected truth in the deepest and most helpful way, author and counselor Larry Crabb has written a wise, hopeful, honest, and realistic examination of life’s difficulties and tragedies. He wraps these insights around the bold story of Naomi in the Bible’s book of Ruth. As Crabb retells and illuminates this sometimes disturbing and often profoundly touching story, we are shown how God stripped Naomi of happiness in order to prepare her for joy. And we gain an unforgettable picture of how God uses shattered dreams to release better dreams and a more fulfilling life for those He loves. Shattered dreams have the power to change our lives for good. Join Larry Crabb on a life-changing adventure to encounter God in the midst of life’s most difficult times, and learn to live beyond your Shattered Dreams.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The gripping stories of ordinary Germans who lived through World War II, the Holocaust, and Cold War partition—but also recovery, reunification, and rehabilitation Broken Lives is a gripping account of ordinary Germans who came of age under Hitler and whose lives were scarred and sometimes destroyed by what they saw and did. Drawing on six dozen memoirs by Germans born in the 1920s, Konrad Jarausch chronicles the unforgettable stories of people who not only lived through the Third Reich, World War II, the Holocaust, and Cold War partition, but also participated in Germany's astonishing postwar recovery, reunification, and rehabilitation. Bringing together the voices of men and women, perpetrators and victims, Broken Lives offers new insights about persistent questions. Why did so many Germans support Hitler through years of wartime sacrifice and Nazi inhumanity? How did they finally distance themselves from the Nazi past and come to embrace human rights? The result is a powerful portrait of the experiences of average Germans who journeyed into, through, and out of the abyss of a dark century.

Download or read book Joining Jesus written by Moses Chung and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-03-25 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspired by an incarnational theology that emerges from a missional reading of Luke 10, Chung and Meehan went out to discover the stories of contemporary disciples who labor in the harvest fields of God's uncommon, upside down Kingdom. The stories that emerge describe the work and presence of the Spirit in communities across North America, where ordinary, faithful people and churches embrace the Spirit's invitation by sharing themselves with their neighbors. Our need to connect with neighbors seems more difficult now than ever but Chung and Meehan say we shouldn't be afraid of change and to listen to the Spirit's prodding. By sharing stories on how to 'go local' by remaining faithfully present the authors encourage us to embrace our neighborhoods and join Jesus by loving people in the tangible, ordinariness of life.

Download or read book The Spaces of the Modern City written by Gyan Prakash and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-06-08 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By United Nations estimates, 60 percent of the world's population will be urban by 2030. With the increasing speed of urbanization, especially in the developing world, scholars are now rethinking standard concepts and histories of modern cities. The Spaces of the Modern City historicizes the contemporary discussion of urbanism, highlighting the local and global breadth of the city landscape. This interdisciplinary collection examines how the city develops in the interactions of space and imagination. The essays focus on issues such as street design in Vienna, the motion picture industry in Los Angeles, architecture in Marseilles and Algiers, and the kaleidoscopic paradox of post-apartheid Johannesburg. They explore the nature of spatial politics, examining the disparate worlds of eighteenth-century Baghdad, nineteenth-century Morelia, Cold War-era West Berlin, and postwar Los Angeles. They also show the meaning of everyday spaces to urban life, illuminating issues such as crime in metropolitan London, youth culture in Dakar, "memory projects" in Tokyo, and Bombay cinema. Informed by a range of theoretical writings, this collection offers a fresh and truly global perspective on the nature of the modern city. The contributors are Sheila Crane, Belinda Davis, Mamadou Diouf, Philip J. Ethington, David Frisby, Christina M. Jiménez, Dina Rizk Khoury, Ranjani Mazumdar, Frank Mort, Martin Murray, Jordan Sand, and Sarah Schrank.
Download or read book From the Cradle to the Pulpit written by Aubrey C.H. Brown Jr. Th. D and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2018-01-20 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story we are about to embark upon is not just a historical event that was stored in the mental archives of the writers imagination. Rather, it is the solid collection of indisputable facts. These facts are the pillows of truth that have guided a chosen vessel of God toward his vocational occupation. This book is a synopsis of the writers life, from the cradle to the pulpit. This story is based on a biological sketch of the writers childhood, to include his family background, community description, early education, and religious upbringing. His conversion to Christianity and call to the pastoral ministry was the turning point of his adult life. He was now moving on a particular uncertain course, not willing to quietly surrender to the will of God and heed the call to the pulpit ministry. This was the time of his life when he sought to avoid pastoral obligations by attempting to ponder in the field of journalism. This was, of course, the treading upon dangerous grounds that would subsequently provoke the one who requires his service to take serious action to implore his indulgence.

We can’t change the tragic events that occurred in our past, What happened was not our doing, nor our ability to be undone. We can only face life strongly and not let depression last. Help is available as you are not alone, reach out to someone.”.... (excerpt from “Just Around the Bend”)
