Book excerpt: Who Is Jesus? His name is recognized the world over. But how many of us fully understand what He was like as a person? Honest, powerful, humble, full of mercy and light—Jesus was love personified, the full potential of what we were intended to be. Get to know Jesus and witness His love unfold in the Gospels in a new and insightful way. In this encouraging and convicting look at Jesus’ life on earth, Paul Miller investigates the answers to questions such as: How do you love someone when you get no love in return? How do you love without being trapped or used? How do you love when you have your own baggage? When do you take care of yourself? How do you love with both compassion and honesty? The Gospel accounts, combined with Miller’s own life stories, will uplift your spirit, give you a new perspective, and encourage you to love like Jesus. “For a glimpse of our great Savior, open this book! You’ll be glad you did. I was!” —Max Lucado, bestselling author “To see Jesus is to see what love looks like.

Download or read book He Walked Through Walls written by Myriam Miedzian and published by Lantern Books. This book was released on 2009 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What qualities are needed when your life is in danger, not merely once or twice, but on several occasions? As author Myriam Miedzian shows in this richly detailed story of the lives of her Polish-Jewish father and family, it takes tenacity, forethought, ingenuity, strength, and courage. During World War I, the anti-Semitic Polish authorities imprisoned young Henyek Miedzianagora and his father and brother on a trumped-up charge of spying for the Germans. Rebuffed by military authorities, Henyek's tenacious mother sought out a nobleman business acquaintance of her husband and persuaded him that a mistake had been made; with his help, her husband and sons were set free the day of their scheduled execution. It required courage when as a schoolboy, Henyek decided to go AWOL and risk being shot for desertion rather than experience the pointless slaughter of the Polish-Soviet War of 1919-21. In 1930, Henyek moved to Belgium, where he married and had two children. His awareness of the fragility of existence in a world that can turn hostile at any moment--a legacy no doubt of his early harrowing experiences--led him to leave Brussels immediately on May 10, 1940 when the Germans attacked Belgium, and not turn back. The family eventually reached New York--via France, Spain, and Morocco, where they spent close to a year. Henyek had the extraordinary foresight, in 1936, to deposit $10,000 in a bank account in the United States, just in case. . . . Sure enough, the money made it possible to obtain visas to the U.S. In a bravura performance of recollection, reimagination, and characterization, Myriam Miedzian relates the incredible story of her father's three passages from peril to safety in her father's voice. Completing this work of generations, Myriam's daughter, Nadia Malinovich, a professor of Jewish history, fleshes out the historical and cultural background of her grandfather and, indeed, great-grandfather's life in Poland and Belgium during the first half of the twentieth century.

Download or read book They Walked with God written by Gena Duncan and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2016-03-09 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean to walk with God? Enoch knew. In fact, he knew so well that one day he walked right into Gods eternal home without dying. Now that was a walk! A life walk involves all the activities that intersect with our lives every day. If we walked like Enoch or like righteous Noah, what would those intersections of appointments, meetings, meals, sport games, telephone conversations, text messages, meetings with friends, and discussions with family members look like? All those giants of faith listed in Hebrews 11 walked with God and are examples to us of walking in faith with God. Noah believed God would send a flood and built an ark even though he had never seen rain. Joshua and the Israelites, Deborah and Barak, Jephthah, and Gideon had faith for miraculous victories in battle. Rahab choose to leave her life of prostitution, married, and became part of the lineage of Christ. Samson asked for one last triumph of strength and fulfilled Gods plan for his life. The author unmasks the lives of eight less-known giants of faith and reveals their triumphant acts of faith and the head-hanging weaker moments not mentioned in Hebrews 11. What can these unbelievable stories mean to us? Open these pages and see.

Did not the Messiah, the Christ, have to suffer thus before entering into His glory?aEUR (Luke 24:25aEUR"26).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For you are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. ""Psalms 23:4, NKJV Have you ever been so close to death that you could see the face of Jesus? Have you ever been so sick that you were afraid that you were going to die? Have you ever felt so overwhelmed by illness that you could not function in your day-to-day activities? Are you tired of the devil robbing you of the life that God wants for you? I want my readers to know that even in the most difficult storms of life, we can be overcomers! When you are facing the most difficult times you have ever faced, know that God is near to you. He will comfort you. The Holy Spirit will intercede for you. Our faith, hope, and trust in God prevails, and He is always with us. The miracles that come about during these storms are so overwhelming! God is constantly working even though we can't see what is happening. We may look at the circumstances and feel like the outcome is going to be negative. God proves that if we keep our faith and trust in Him and what He says that He will work all things for our good. Things do not always happen in our imperfect time, but God's timing is perfect, and we have to trust in that even when we have lost our ability to be patient. In my own personal battle with my health during most of 2016, all of the things that I was hearing from doctors and witnessing as symptoms in my own body were telling me that I was going to die. God heard my prayers and honored my desire to keep on living. My prayerful desire is that the stories that my family and I will share with you through this book will give you a greater understanding of how loving and faithful our God is. Come take a walk with me and my family.
