Download or read book Snapshots written by Earl Fashbaugh and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2011-05 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A snapshot freezes a moment in time and serves to remind us of something meaningful to our lives, whether it is an event, a scene, a story, or a message. In Snapshots, author Earl Fashbaugh presents a photo album in words of all sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments, revealing the essential elements of each scriptural message and inviting us to explore our own personal meaning as we draw closer to God and his Word. As our society and our lives grow more complex, simple, meaningful messages become more and more important. Scripture provides this on a deeply personal level, and while we can learn so much from Bible scholars and those who have studied hard in order to serve as our pastors, ministers, and priests, we must take it upon ourselves to sit quietly and read, pray, and contemplate how the Bible's lessons apply to our everyday lives. Every book in the Bible contains practical lessons on daily living. Snapshots reflects on each book in turn, studying applications in society, church, and family; it serves as an indispensable daily devotional for those of us looking for guidance from the Holy Spirit and a unique, personal connection to the Lord.

Book excerpt: Snapshots is a kind of verbal photo album that uses the sixty-six books of the Bible as a catalyst to move our thoughts to each of these portions of scripture. Just as a snapshot of days gone by does not capture the entire event, neither does this devotional expand the entire meaning or application for any single book in the Bible. Taking a picture, or snapshot, of a moment does not really do justice to a beautiful scene we witnessed during our vacation, but it puts a stake in our mind. The picture may even suggest that we have experienced something grand and we want to go back and visit the vacation spot again. We will always find something new when we revisit scripture. The Bible is relational in style because it speaks to us in a very personal way. The author provides his own verbal pictures of the first part of each book, illustrating the application according to his experience. Once we begin taking our own snapshots of the Bible, we charter the important scenes that relate to us at that particular time in our life. Every day in this devotional is dedicated to a book in the Bible, sixty-six days in all. Reading scripture should be fun. The author finds humor in many aspects of his own life and shares parallels in order to illustrate the loving nature of God's message to all of us.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thirteen-year-old Grace Thibodaux knew that she was a lucky girl, probably the luckiest girl ever. Both of her parents, Joe-Joe and Em, loved her so much. Grace loved them too. Their home was filled with music and laughter. Every day they taught Grace something new. Having Down syndrome, some things came easy to Grace; others were more difficult for her to learn. However, she always thought of what Em said: "That does not define you, Gracie." In other words, Down syndrome was just one part of Grace, like her dimples or brown eyes. Em had a way of explaining such matters: "You can do almost anything if you want it enough, Gracie." Life was good. Then on a December day, in the blink of an eye, the Thibodaux household changed forever. Gracie's beloved Joe-Joe was killed in a tragic accident. Her whole world was shattered on that day. Grace didn't think it could get worse, but it did. She awoke one day, and she could not remember Joe-Joe's voice or his laughter. She thought that she was losing him forever. Grace knew that she had to do something to keep Joe-Joe in her mind and in her heart, and she had to do it alone. She couldn't tell Em; she was already so sad. After careful planning, Gracie embarks on a suspenseful journey that brings life lessons, friendship, and healing.
