Book excerpt: Drawing on a lifetime of Christian pilgrimage, David Adam reflects on biblical encounters with the divine and offers profound insights - on grief and glory, emptiness and fulfilment; repentance and forgiveness; loving and being loved - that will transform the way we live, and the way we relate to God, here and now. For example, God's question to Adam, 'Where are you?' is relevant to us all; Abraham's long journey of hearing and obeying (and learning the art of having no agenda) is ours too; Jacob's great discovery - that heaven is found on earth and earth is raised to heaven - helps us become aware that we often already possess what we think we're searching for; Moses' desert experiences of grief and glory encourage us that we journey forward to the Promised Land, while Elijah's powerlessness reminds us that God often calls us out of darkness and weakness, for we may need stillness to hear him.
Download or read book The Incredible Journey written by Sheila Burnford and published by Scholastic Inc.. This book was released on 2015-05-01 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A classic Canadian story of the bravery and ingenuity of three animals who find their way home. First published in 1961, The Incredible Journey tells the story of three pets: a young Labrador retriever, an old bull terrier, and a Siamese cat. While their owners are away in England, they are being cared for by a family friend at his home in the country. But a miscommunication occurs between the friend and his housekeeper when he goes on a hunting trip, and the animals are left alone for a several hours, with a gnawing instinct that something has gone wrong. They soon set off on a journey to find home, which instinct tells them is to the west. They travel 400 kilometres across the Northern Ontario wilderness, facing many obstacles along the way: swift-flowing rivers and the rugged landscape; wild animals and unsympathetic humans; starvation, injuries and sheer exhaustion. Separately they would not have survived, but together this disparate group prevails, and they find their way home to the family they love.

Download or read book An Awesome Journey written by David Pizer and published by Bookbaby. This book was released on 2020-08-27 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Awesome Journey is a poignant story that is an uplifting reading experience filled with mystery, romance, and humor presented against a background of the exciting, extreme-life-extension-movement now going on in our world of face-paced advancements in technology. Handsome, sensual young man on his way to extreme success falls in love with beautiful High School Senior. They make plans for a wedding right after her graduation. The young beauty dies in a tragic accident shortly before the wedding day. The story of the young man continues until his death years later. Both lovers are revived 100 years later after a successful journey to the future thanks to the fast developing technology of cryonics, the technology of freezing people at legal death to be revived in the future when aging reversal is a common practice for humans. The author uses a very believable description of how cryonics works and transports people to the future. But this story is not just a typical time travel story, it is a powerful love story, with mystery and humor that will make you laugh out loud and then bring tears to your eyes. The author, David Pizer, first realized how short a lifetime is in 1953 when he was in sixth grade. Back then school girls had slumber parties in one of the girls bedrooms and boys had camp outs in one of the boys back yards. David and his friend Max set up a tent in Max's parents back yard and they were sitting there looking at the massive array of stars that filled the unpolluted, smog-free skies in Phoenix Arizona in 1953. Max's dad brought out 3 cups of hot chocolate and the three of them sat there sipping as Max's dad explained a lot about the stars, theories on the birth of the universe, and things like that. Max's dad was a professor at Phoenix Community College, while David was in sixth grade. When dad explained about the formation of a star and the billions of years they 'lived" David was mesmerized! Max and his dad then went back into the house to make some more hot chocolate and get some marshmallows, coat hangers a bag of charcoal and some matches, while they left David all alone in the backyard to gaze at the billions of bright stars in the sky, each one with a life-span of billions of years. As David sat there entranced in deep thought, a very sad feeling came over him. David realized that even if a person lived to be 100 years old, that on a cosmic scale a 100-year life span is a very, very brief time. Now David is convinced that only up to a 100-year life span may no longer be our sad fate, and the latest discoveries in life extension technology seem to suggest human aging may soon be reversible and quality life spans may reach much, much longer than 100 years. "An Awesome Journey" is the story, and an awesome journey is going to be the feeling you experience as you read this exciting, humorous, romantic novel.

Download or read book Chasing Slow written by Erin Loechner and published by HarperChristian + ORM. This book was released on 2017-01-10 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chasing Slow models HGTV star Erin Loechner's journey to help you break out of the faster-better-stronger trap and make small changes to refresh your perspective, renew your priorities, and shift your focus to what matters most. You're here, but you want to be there. So you spend your life narrowing this divide, and you call this your race, your journey, your path. You live your days tightening your boot straps, wiping the sweat from your brow, chasing undiscovered happiness just around the bend. And on and on you run. Viral sensation and HGTV.com star Erin Loechner knows about the chase. Before turning 30, she'd earned the title "The Nicest Girl Online" as she was praised for her authentic voice and effortless style. Her HGTV web show garnered over one million fans worldwide, and her client list includes Walt Disney World, IKEA, Martha Stewart and Home Depot. The New York Times applauded her, her friends and church admired her, and her husband and baby adored her. She had arrived at the ultimate destination. So why did she feel so lost? Through a series of steep climbs--her husband's brain tumor, bankruptcy, family loss, and public criticism--Erin learns just how much strength it takes to surrender it all, and to veer right into grace. In Chasing Slow, Erin upgrades her life through downsizing--her stuff, her obligations, her fears, her personal metric of "perfect." And ultimately, her invitation becomes yours: to turn away from the fast and frenzy, and find freedom in a new-fashioned lifestyle defined by grace. Life's answers are not always hidden where they seem. It's time to venture off the beaten path to see that we’ve already been given everything we need. We've already arrived. You see? You'll see.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our Amazing Journey is an unforgettable true story filled with life's unexpected twists and turns. You will discover how the love between Kathy and Gary was bonded by God's hand from the beginning and designed to withstand any storm or obstacle life could present. Inseparable from toddlers to teens, these two best friends had an unusual connection, realizing there was something special holding them together, although not actually knowing what it was until later in life. It all began with two nineteen-year-old girls becoming best friends from the first moment they met. These special ladies went on to start families of their own, and not only were the BFFS touched by instant love for each other, the gift was passed on. You will be totally drawn in, as if you are a part of this epic chronicle discovering that a number of so called coincidences are unmistakably divine intervention. Some might say that this story sounds like a magical fairy tale being made into a Hallmark movie, but that's not the intention of sharing it, you be the judge. Once separated as teens, Gary and Kathy didn't have any contact for forty-two years, not knowing what the other was doing. You will experience an array of emotions as they go from elation to deflation, mountain tops of joy to valleys of disappointment. Be prepared to laugh out loud and privately shed a tear as you experience their love and broken hearts. "I invite you now to relax, get comfortable, and prepared to be totally immersed in an unforgettable story of true and inextinguishable love between two souls. I must warn you that once you join us, you will not abandon this journey until you reach the conclusion. Your soul will be stirred, your heart touched, and your outlook on life and love may be forever transformed."
