Download or read book The Broken Bride written by Loni M. Stankan and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2023-02-10 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Americanized church culture as we know it is broken, hurting, and missing our greatest responsibility: to love God and love people right where they are. We have become more invested in the superficial needs of man rather than leaving the four walls and becoming the bride. Using the realities of life and conversations, The Broken Bride explores our need to get back to basics in Christ and revolutionize how we daily think of church and people to mend the broken bride. In this reflection, author and pastor Loni M. Stankan helps redefine the hurt church into the divine definition of the bride of Christ as the father intended. Filled with wisdom and advice from living and walking the faith with other believers, Stankan challenges your perception and role of the traditional American church. She encourages Christians to rise up from the megachurches to megacommunities filled with love and grace rooted in the love of Christ and unified in one mind and one spirit.

Download or read book The Broken Bride written by Julia Smith and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-02-14 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I don't believe that anyone marries to divorce. Divorce is painful, it's the tearing of two hearts, family, friends, and in some cases children's lives. But there is life after divorce. Somethings we must know about the subject is that healing hurts, but we must do it if we want to move on with a productive life. Pain proceeds healing and that's why most people don't do it. The truth must be told, uncovering the pain but it's through the truth that freedom comes. Restoration of the heart and mind is imperative for a new life, but it is also a choice. Recovery is very much possible but it too is an option. Matthew 11:28 tells us to come to the Lord with our burdens, which means our participation is required in our healing. Heartbreak is an unfortunate part of life at some point or another, but the Good News is that our Father is close to the brokenhearted. If you are preparing for marriage I invite you to come to learn some valuable principles before you enter the covenant. If you are in a marriage, this book is a great refresher and litmus test of the temperature of your marriage. If you have experienced divorce, my prayer is that this book brings healing, revelation, and clarity as I share some of my life experiences in three short stories. Walk with me through the Word of God and let's see what the Spirit of the Lord is saying to the church about love, marriage, and divorce.

Download or read book The Bride zilla of Christ written by Ted Kluck and published by Multnomah. This book was released on 2016-07-19 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sometimes, Church Hurts The Church, the Bride of Christ. That description conjures up images of radiant white bride, eyes sparkling with peace and harmony, right? Maybe that’s why it’s such a gut-punch when that Bride behaves more like a grade school bully or a hot tempered drill sergeant. What do you do with that reality, a reality that sometime hurts? Ted Kluck and Ronnie Martin aren’t interested in 140 characters of tweetable comfort. They’d rather share their own stories of being both the wounded and the wounder. Plus they offer practical, yes-you-can-do-this steps to moving forward in those times not if, but when the Church hurts. Bride(zilla) of Christ is a verbal I.V. dripping with the mercy found only in Christ. Though you’ve been wronged, or perhaps wronged another, there is cause for great hope. The hurt is not the deepest thing. Grace is deeper still.

Download or read book Gay Girl Good God written by Jackie Hill Perry and published by B&H Publishing Group. This book was released on 2018-09-03 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I used to be a lesbian.” In Gay Girl, Good God, author Jackie Hill Perry shares her own story, offering practical tools that helped her in the process of finding wholeness. Jackie grew up fatherless and experienced gender confusion. She embraced masculinity and homosexuality with every fiber of her being. She knew that Christians had a lot to say about all of the above. But was she supposed to change herself? How was she supposed to stop loving women, when homosexuality felt more natural to her than heterosexuality ever could? At age nineteen, Jackie came face-to-face with what it meant to be made new. And not in a church, or through contact with Christians. God broke in and turned her heart toward Him right in her own bedroom in light of His gospel. Read in order to understand. Read in order to hope. Or read in order, like Jackie, to be made new.

Download or read book Fire Road written by Kim Phuc Phan Thi and published by NavPress. This book was released on 2017-10-03 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Get out! Run! We must leave this place! They are going to destroy this whole place! Go, children, run first! Go now! These were the final shouts nine year-old Kim Phuc heard before her world dissolved into flames—before napalm bombs fell from the sky, burning away her clothing and searing deep into her skin. It’s a moment forever captured, an iconic image that has come to define the horror and violence of the Vietnam War. Kim was left for dead in a morgue; no one expected her to survive the attack. Napalm meant fire, and fire meant death. Against all odds, Kim lived—but her journey toward healing was only beginning. When the napalm bombs dropped, everything Kim knew and relied on exploded along with them: her home, her country’s freedom, her childhood innocence and happiness. The coming years would be marked by excruciating treatments for her burns and unrelenting physical pain throughout her body, which were constant reminders of that terrible day. Kim survived the pain of her body ablaze, but how could she possibly survive the pain of her devastated soul? Fire Road is the true story of how she found the answer in a God who suffered Himself; a Savior who truly understood and cared about the depths of her pain. Fire Road is a story of horror and hope, a harrowing tale of a life changed in an instant—and the power and resilience that can only be found in the power of God’s mercy and love.

Download or read book Overcoming Bride written by Tara Marie Browder and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-09-19 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some of the greatest longings of the soul are to be wanted, desired, and chosen. We all long to be somebody's "somebody." However, can the fulfillment of this desire for identity and belonging ever be fully realized in the context of romance or relationships? I had always heard that God was supposed to be the one responsible for completely meeting these desires, but, honestly, I had a difficult time knowing how to practically get to that place with Him. In fact, I often wondered if it was even possible to achieve this kind of rest for the soul outside the realm of romance. Overcoming Bride chronicles my story of a beautiful journey toward marriage that suffered an abrupt detour. As a result, one of my greatest quests began---the fight to find God, identity, and belonging in the shadows of shocking loss. Are you a man or woman who desires to rekindle your relationship with God? Are you looking for hope through a fresh testimony of God's justice and redemption? Are you needing encouragement and strength in the wilderness? Are you a man or woman who needs some fresh perspective on God's heart regarding relationships between men and women? Are you married but finding yourself disillusioned because you are still lacking the depth of love you had hoped to find on the other side of marriage? Are you single or dating and still trying to find the balance between believing for a Godly spouse and finding all of your fulfillment in Jesus? Have you gone through a broken engagement, divorce, or death of a loved one and need encouragement during grieving? Are you wondering if grief and seasons in the wilderness have an expiration date? __________________________________________ If you answered "Yes" to any of these questions, this book is written with you in mind. I pray that my story of how God led me through the wilderness of a broken engagement will help you live as a constantly OVERCOMING and VICTORIOUS Bride!!!

Download or read book Sex Jesus and the Conversations the Church Forgot written by Mo Isom and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sex. In a world overwhelmingly obsessed with it, why is the church so silent about it? While our secular culture twists, perverts, cheapens, and idolizes sex, there are gaping holes in the church's guidance of young people. The result is generations of sexually illiterate people drowning in the repercussions of overwhelming sin struggles. Enough is enough, says Mo Isom. With raw vulnerability and a bold spirit, she shares her own sexual testimony, opening up the conversation about misguided rule-following, virginity, temptation, porn, promiscuity, false sex-pectations, sex in marriage, and more and calling readers back to God's original design for sex--a way to worship and glorify him. This book is for the young person tangled up in an addiction to pornography, for the girlfriend feeling pressured to go further, for the "good girl" who followed the rules and saved herself for marriage and then was confused and disappointed, for the married couple who use sex as a bargaining tool, for every person who casually watches sex play out in TV and movies and wonders why they're dissatisfied with the real thing, and for every confused or hurting person in-between. Sex was God's idea. It's time we invited him back into the bedroom.
