Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The astonishing, Job-like story of how an existence filled with loss, suffering, questioning, and anger became a life filled with shocking and incomprehensible peace and joy. Vaneetha Risner contracted polio as an infant, was misdiagnosed, and lived with widespread paralysis. She lived in and out of the hospital for ten years and, after each stay, would return to a life filled with bullying. When she became a Christian, though, she thought things would get easier, and they did: carefree college days, a dream job in Boston, and an MBA from Stanford where she met and married a classmate. But life unraveled. Again. She had four miscarriages. Her son died because of a doctor's mistake. And Vaneetha was diagnosed with post-polio syndrome, meaning she would likely become a quadriplegic. And then her husband betrayed her and moved out, leaving her to raise two adolescent daughters alone. This was not the abundant life she thought God had promised her. But, as Vaneetha discovered, everything she experienced was designed to draw her closer to Christ as she discovered "that intimacy with God in suffering can be breathtakingly beautiful."

Book excerpt: In this world, we go through life striving for accolades that earn us the respect and applause of many. In like manner, as Believers of the Christian Faith, we are tasked by our risen Lord to strive to receive His utmost commendation: 'Well done, good and faithful servant'. Having reflected on my life and Christendom as a whole, I have come to a realisation that the purpose for which God creates each man must be fulfilled in order that His will for mankind may be established. Contrary to this logic, the world dictates vain standards which drift man off the path ordained by God. I write this book, to charge you as a Child of the Most High to renew your mind-set in tune with the Master's will and strategically align your life to complete your assignment. It is my firm belief that after reading this revelational piece, your destiny shall take an extraordinary turn towards Christ's will for your life. We only have one life and one opportunity to prove ourselves before God. Let's make it count!

Download or read book The Province of Affliction written by Ben Mutschler and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2020-08-06 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Province of Affliction, Ben Mutschler explores the surprising roles that illness played in shaping the foundations of New England society and government from the late seventeenth century through the early nineteenth century. Considered healthier than people in many other regions of early America, and yet still riddled with disease, New Englanders grappled steadily with what could be expected of the sick and what allowances were made to them and their providers. Mutschler integrates the history of disease into the narrative of early American social and political development, illuminating the fragility of autonomy, individualism, and advancement . Each sickness in early New England created its own web of interdependent social relations that could both enable survival and set off a long bureaucratic struggle to determine responsibility for the misfortune. From families and households to townships, colonies, and states, illness both defined and strained the institutions of the day, bringing people together in the face of calamity, yet also driving them apart when the cost of persevering grew overwhelming. In the process, domestic turmoil circulated through the social and political world to permeate the very bedrock of early American civic life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every possible need of a believer, including salvation and sanctification, is met in the "sufficiency of Christ." "He not only fully saves them from sin, but secures to them ineffably greater glory, honor, and immortality than they would have inherited had they not fallen." This book written in 1879, discusses the importance of the Gospel and the fullness of Christ, a theme that belongs to Christians of all times. Dr. Tyree gets to the point by saying "study, not Christianity, but Christ; ponder, not redemption, but the Redeemer, not salvation, but the living, moving Savior, that was, and is, and ever will be, and the mind will be convinced, and the heart savingly won to him."
