Download or read book Stepping Out of Darkness Into the Light written by Edna L. Lester Blue and published by . This book was released on 2021-12-10 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stepping Out of Darkness into the Light is a book of action. The Word of the Lord says, "faith without works is dead" (Jms.2:20,26). This book assists God's people in the appointed time to move out from the comfort zone and into a faith walk where the power of God resides. Whenever there is need for change, there is also resistance to change. This resistance presents evidence of fear. Since fear is the absent of faith, it must be dealt with by any means necessary. The Bible says that without faith it is impossible to please God (Heb.11:6). Therefore, it is pertinent that we be relieved of this fear, whatever the cost. The absolute absence of fear will probably never be accomplished in our human state of being. However, there are some steps that we can take that will alleviate many of the symptoms and allow us to move to the next level in God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Stepping Out of Darkness into the Light ushers the reader into the presence of God beginning with ten chapters of devotional reading. Devotional time spent with God is preparation for the coming events at any given time. The segments that follow, introduce a transitory method utilizing biblical steps that bring the readers into an even more intimate relationship with God. When we are confident about our relationship with God, we are better able to represent Him in our daily walk. The world's need for peace is more prevalent than ever before. While God's people may not be in position to bring peace to the world, we can start with ourselves. Utilizing the steps presented in this book will assist in uncovering the dark places in our lives and stepping into the light, one step at a time.

As an evangelist, I am always looking for good material to put into the hands of those who make a decision to follow Jesus. Some of the things we see are either too complicated or too biased. Some are great for young people but too juvenile for adults. Yours, however, is just like Baby Bear's portage., 'just right.' I'm sure this will be a very useable tool for people who want to help others move onward with the Lord. Thank you for this wonderful resource. Mike Warnke, Evangelist & Christian Comedian 'This work should not be confused with a denominational handbook. Jane has done a good job of keeping free from sectarian or theological bias. The book is Scripture study from start to finish. I am convinced that Walking Toward the Light will become a standard textbook for many churches to use in newcomers class, Sunday school, discipleship programs, or regular Bible study groups.'

Download or read book Light written by W. Starr Charlie and published by . This book was released on 2012-05 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: That an unknown manuscript by C. S. Lewis should suddenly appear two decades after his death is remarkable. That it turns out to be a version of a previously published Lewis short story which some have accused of being a forgery, makes it a mystery. C. S. Lewis's "Light" manuscript appeared out of nowhere in 1985 after a different version of the story was published in 1977. Could "Light" be the final version of that story, the missing polished text which should have been published all along? And does it disprove or inflame the accusations of forgery? Charlie W. Starr explores the questions and reveals the truth that what Lewis scholars have previously believed about the story's origins is largely inaccurate, and that the insights into Lewis's thinking which "Light" reveals provide a new key to understanding some of Lewis's most profound ideas. "As literary journalism, both investigative and critical, it is top shelf." James Como, author of Remembering C. S. Lewis "Starr's book explores a vitally important theme in Lewis's work - light." Will Vaus, author of Speaking of Jack: A C. S. Lewis Discussion Guide "Starr has done us all a great service ... I can't recommend this book highly enough." Adam Barkman, author of C. S. Lewis and Philosophy as a Way of Life "Starr shines a new and illuminating light on one of Lewis's most intriguing stories." Michael Ward, author of Planet Narnia: The Seven Heavens in the Imagination of C. S. Lewis Charlie W. Starr is professor of English and Humanities at Kentucky Christian University.

Download or read book Unsinkable Faith written by Tracie Miles and published by David C Cook. This book was released on 2017-04-01 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many people, remaining optimistic and feeling positive about themselves and their lives is a constant battle—especially when circumstances are difficult and life is hard. For others, negativity is something that only sneaks up from time to time, yet still wreaks havoc in their hearts. Regardless of the root causes, once pessimistic thoughts permeate our minds, our feelings and emotions begin to control us instead of us controlling them. Eventually it doesn’t seem possible to stay positive, happy, and full of joy, and negative thought patterns shake our faith, causing us to sink emotionally, mentally, and spiritually over time. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Despite what storms roll in, hearts anchored in God don’t sink. When we change the way we think, we can change the way we feel and live, even if our circumstances remain the same. Intentionally embracing the opportunity to experience a transformed heart and a renewed mind opens the door for a changed life, because a positive mind will always lead to a more positive life. In Unsinkable Faith, author and Proverbs 31 Ministries speaker Tracie Miles offers hope for women who struggle with negativity.

Unsinkable Faith is a breath of fresh air for anyone longing for a heart full of joy, an unbreakable smile, and a new, more optimistic perspective on life.
