Download or read book The God Adventure written by Terry Meeuwsen and published by Multnomah. This book was released on 2005 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Terry Meeuwsen, cohost of The 700 Club and Living the Life, issues a challenge to believers everywhere to exchange their safe, status quo existence for the eternal impact of a lifelong "God adventure." This book was born out of an unexpected detour late in Meeuwsen's life that led her and her husband to adopt three sisters from the Ukraine. A testimony to God's provision and faithfulness, hers is an adoption story reminiscent of God's choosing us to be a part of His family and extending the invitation to join Him in unexpected, uncertain, unpredictable God adventures. But this is much more than one family's story. It is the call of God to His people--to set aside our plans, sacrifice our comforts, share our blessings, and walk where the path is not always clear. God Wants You Out of Control When God says, "Follow Me," He doesn't usually provide a road map. And that's the beauty of The God Adventure. It's an open invitation to a lifetime off the beaten path. Terry Meeuwsen, cohost of The 700 Club, beckons the tentative to experience the thrill of saying yes to God and "So long!" to their comfort zones. For Terry and her husband, in their fifties, living the God adventure would mean adopting three Ukrainian sisters--in addition to the four children they already had! But the Meeuwsens have never regretted telling the Lord they would be risk-takers for Him. And you won't, either. So say goodbye to the familiar rut. Set aside your plans. Beautiful surprises abound when you embark on the God adventure! Inspiration/Motivation/General ISBN 1-59052-250-8 Story Behind the Book Terry Meeuwsen is one of America's most successful Christian broadcasters--known and loved by many who watch her every day on CBN's The 700 Club. With her husband, Andy Friedrich, she was already a busy 50-something mother of four when she sensed the Lord calling her--quietly but insistently--into a stunning God adventure: to open her heart and her home to three orphaned Ukrainian sisters she had never met. Through daily steps of faith and surrender, what seemed impossible became a reality. Now the Friedrich children number seven. And at every turn, Terry sees more evidence that the extraordinary life God wants for each of us is always only one step away.

Book excerpt: What if I told you that you were made to live a life full of adventure? As a matter of fact, we were all made for adventure! God created humanity to tend and work in this beautiful garden called Eden. Eden breathed adventure. Adam and Eve messed up their opportunity for adventure when they chose their own way instead of God's way. The call to adventure is still out there, though, for each one of us. There is an innate feeling in each of us to chase adventure. The choice we have is to chase the adventures God is calling us to or chase the dangerous adventure the enemy puts before us to hopefully get us to fall into sin. You were made for adventure. Let's discover that adventurous life God is calling you to together and see how each of us is called to live this adventure-filled life. This book is a guide to help people discover how they were made for adventure. Adventure is different for each person, but the way to live adventurously is nearly the same. On each adventure, there are traps, struggles, detours, and other things that we all will encounter on our adventure. Made for Adventure goes through those and more and will show us all how we can point our eyes to Jesus to help us through those moments. Adventure is better when we do it in a community, so we look at how our relationships are affected by our adventures together. We look at how we should care for each other, how we should prepare for our adventures, and also give it away to the next generation. To do all this, the book leans heavily on Scripture and real-life examples to show the readers how to live the adventurous life they are called to live.

Download or read book Twelve Against the Gods written by William Bolitho and published by Diversion Books. This book was released on 2018-09-25 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An instant bestseller when first published in 1929—biographies of twelve bold individuals from history and what they did to separate themselves from the pack. In his trademark journalist style, author William Bolitho details the lives of twelve great adventurers—Alexander the Great, Casanova, Christopher Columbus, Mahomet, Lola Montez, Cagliostro (and Seraphina), Charles XII of Sweden, Napoleon I, Lucius Sergius Catiline, Napoleon III, Isadora Duncan, and Woodrow Wilson. Bolitho elucidates both the struggles and successes that made these figures so iconic, and demonstrates how they all battled convention and conformity to achieve enduring fame and notoriety. “We are born adventurers,” Bolitho writes, “and the love of adventures never leaves us till we are very old; old, timid men, in whose interest it is that adventure should quite die out. This is why all the poets are on one side, and all the laws on the other; for laws are made by, and usually for, old men.” Though his essays are nearly one hundred years old, they encompass the timeless values of perseverance, bravery, and strength of spirit that have proven to resonate with the pioneers and thought leaders of today. “It’s really quite good.” —Elon Musk “Twelve Against the Gods provides an interesting perspective on what drove and impeded this group of adventurers . . . A good read for anyone who’s interested in history or looking to find some motivation to switch things up and break the rules.” —Áine Cain, Business Insider “I think Twelve Against the Gods is also very appropriate for this day and age. We need adventurers, and there still are a lot of adventurers.” —China Ryall, daughter of William Bolitho
