Download or read book Be Strong and Courageous written by Max Lucado and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2025-08-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Be Strong and Courageous: Standing Firm in an Age of Anger, Instability, and Exhaustion Does a day without difficult news seem out of reach? Does this world seem topsy turvy at best, toxic at worst? Max Lucado’s signature storytelling and biblical insights provide strength and encouragement amid the current chaos. In Be Strong and Courageous, today's headlines and the truth of Scripture intersect in compelling fashion. Max offers a fresh look at the story of Elijah the prophet, showing readers how they can stand firm day by day in the face of turbulent times, regardless of the challenging circumstances they may face. In today’s world, we see echoes of those unsettled, contentious times Elijah endured. Radical departures from long-held truths are taking center stage. Change is evident everywhere we look—in homes, churches, schools, government, the workplace. We often feel as if we’re swimming upstream in a downstream world. Yet the story of Elijah urges us to have hope in the one true living God. Elijah’s unswerving hold onto hope fueled his courage, and it will do the same for us. If you need a field manual on how to stand strong during a time of spiritual drought and exhaustion, lean in, friends. Let Elijah’s story remind you to wait for God in solitude and silence, pray impossible prayers, live with an expectation of divine disruption, turn to God during emotional lows, and understand the spiritual battles we fight. Elijah’s story will help calm your fears and guide your steps. Faith in our unchanging God stirs a force for living a renewed life of courage. With God’s help and following Elijah’s inspiring example, you will discover strength to ride the storm of this turbulent life and the courage to make a difference.

Download or read book Stand Your Ground written by Robert Null and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-02-17 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Standing firm in the face of adversity is an opportunity that we all get to endure. I think the willingness to stand is not something that we learn to do but rather that we are inspired to do. When we stand, we give the Lord something to work with. We give him someone to anoint for a purpose, someone to use for his cause. The willingness to stand arises from having seen others do so or having been inspired through his word. Standing firm in the face of adversity is also a matter of character. Pastors, people, and churches often find themselves with the choice of standing firm or fleeing. Those who stand are guaranteed a fight. Those who flee are guaranteed a failure. Since this is the case, standing, looking for God's victory, seems to be the proper course.

Book excerpt: 4 out of 5 stars, “Canny and thought provoking” San Francisco review of books “A Standout, frequently profound story collection” Kirkus Reviews of Vincent Macraven’s collection of short stories, “A Diverse Gathering” Unsettling was unsettling, in the best way possible. There were a few times throughout the book that I actually had to put it down for fear of nightmares. Macraven takes the innards of our souls and hangs them out there for us to see, bloody and dripping. The images are disturbing and real and the storytelling is horror fiction at its finest. In Where the Dead Dwell, we visit the most haunted of houses, alive in its own evil. In Watching Black Mountain, the reader is introduced to a charismatic leader, a man with true belief in his own God-like abilities. His pride will leave you breathless. Finally, in The Devil Incarnate, a detective is faced with the murder victims he has failed at the hands of a much larger, much scarier force. These stories will entrance you and keep you up at night, willing you to face the demons in our world. Sarah Ghoshal

Book excerpt: Young women are deeply dissatisfied with society's standards (and double standards). They want more for themselves--but sometimes they don't quite know what that more should be. That's where Miss Black New Jersey 2018 and Teen Vogue "It Girl" turned fashion writer Tarah-Lynn Saint-Elien comes in. Through her insightful comments on media, pop culture, and pervading cultural myths about beauty, fashion, and womanhood, Tarah-Lynn dismantles the messages that feed into the insecurities, fears, doubts, and guilt that young women experience today. She introduces them to an understanding of God as a loving Father and the King of all kings, who bestows upon his daughters a crown of love, worth, and power. And she shows them how to not only claim the promises of God but also walk purposefully in them as independent women (no prince necessary!) who respond to adversity with righteousness and authority.

Download or read book Standing Strong written by Charles F. Stanley and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-10-10 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This powerful book from the bestselling Dr. Charles Stanley outlines key areas of conviction that can make or break who we are and how we live. What we choose to believe intrinsically determines whether or not we are able to stand strong in this life—during the easy times, and during the most difficult. Standing Strong explores the Bible to identify the central issues of life where conviction is imperative, including: —our commitment to stand by the people we love —our decision to be men and women of integrity and character —our determination to seek justice for the voiceless and the poor —our beliefs about God as sovereign Creator —our convictions about Jesus as God's Son —our belief that the Bible is actually the Word of God Standing Strong is the product of Dr. Stanley's lifetime journey of defining his convictions—based on God’s Word—and choosing to stand by what he believes...no matter the consequences. As he shares what he has discovered, he guides us as we examine and shape what we believe, so that we can live strong, with confidence, hope, and an assurance that when our convictions are based on God’s truths, we can’t go wrong.

Download or read book The Daniel Dilemma Bible Study Guide written by Chris Hodges and published by HarperChristian Resources. This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Christians, we have real hope in Jesus that we have been called to share with others. But how we share that hope makes a difference. In a world that rejects everything we believe, we face a dilemma: how do we walk closely with God without caving in to pressure or alienating those we want to reach? In this six-session video Bible study, Chris Hodges looks at the lives of both Daniel and Jesus, showing how we can stand for our biblical beliefs without being hostile or insulting to others. We can stand up for God's truth in a morally corrupt culture–while still loving others–because the goal is never about winning the argument but about winning hearts. As Jesus demonstrated, when we connect with others before we correct them, we can handle the hard questions without compromising God's grace or truth. Chris offers fresh insights and practical ideas to encourage Christians struggling with their cultural reality to hold God's standards high and to keep his grace deep–just as Jesus did, and just as his followers today are called to do. The Daniel Dilemma Study Guide includes video discussion questions, Bible exploration, and personal study and reflection materials for in-between sessions. Sessions include: In the World but Not of It Identity Theft You Are What You Worship Who's the Boss? Divided, Distracted, and Disturbed What the World Needs Now Designed for use with the Daniel Dilemma Video Study (sold separately).
