Download or read book The Great Unknown Where Feet May Fail written by Joel Timothy Houston and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2018-03-13 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Imagine this: an auditorium packed to the rafters with thousands of hand-raising energetic fans rocking out to a live band. But it’s no ordinary concert: it’s a weekly spiritual experience with more than 50 million people participating all over the world. That band is called Hillsong United.” —TODAY Have you ever questioned love? Have you ever questioned faith? Have you ever questioned the reason you exist? Joel Houston, the American Music and Billboard award-winning musician, songwriter, pastor of Hillsong NYC and front-man with the world-renowned Hillsong United, chronicles in candid vulnerability some of the unexpected struggles he navigated on his unlikely personal and spiritual journey. The world knows Joel as one of today’s most influential Christian recording artists and the pen behind such beloved songs as “Oceans (Where Feet May Fail).” Yet few of the many who sing the songs know just how intrinsic Houston’s own personal and spiritual odyssey has been, giving shape and form to the very sound and words that have come to resonate with believers and unbelievers alike across the spectrum of culture. Joel takes readers on a candid journey of vulnerability through his own struggles with fear and insecurity. His words and his story challenge us to tear through the stereotypes, constructs, misunderstandings and blinding perspectives that so often leave us crippled, clinging for dear life to the very things we need to let go of, all because we're too afraid to step into the mystery. The true wonder and beauty of life requires letting go of our expectations, and embracing the profound foolishness of the greatest mystery of all: love. By stepping into The Great Unknown, we will find what a beautiful life we have been called to live, when we trust God to lead us into our calling and beyond our fear.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1980, Pamela Alexander and her husband, Jimmy, felt led by God to open a bed and breakfast and were led to Psalm 37 within a short time of that calling. Through this passage, they learned how to wait upon the Lord and how best to prepare and build a B&B. Meanwhile, they trained in the art of hospitality and grew in His wisdom. Thirteen years later, they opened the Alexander Bed & Breakfast Acres (ABBA). Trust without Borders presents an exploration of Psalm 37. In this study, Pamela examines how God wants us to trust Him with all of our being, showing that when we worship Him in that obedience, He blesses us abundantly with joy and peace. She reveals that trust is our gift back to God, and that He is pleased by the beauty of a trusting heart, and that trust demonstrates the meaning of living by grace rather than works. She also considers these questions: Is it trust only when we get our way? How do trust and entering His rest comingle? Why is gratefulness a foremost quality of a trusting follower of Christ? Join Pamela in fellowship and in study of Gods Word, and learn how to trust God with everything and every need of your life.
Download or read book Consider It Pure Joy written by Kristina M and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-09-09 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our home in Madison was in a pleasant neighborhood. Across the street was a charming wooded area with a creek running through it. It was all potentially ideal. When I was very young, I remember feeling safe and content. I even remember thinking that my parents were perfect. I'm sure most young children do. Then a stark dichotomy began forming between the real world and the world that existed in our home. I kept praying that one day I would wake up and find the whole thing had been a bad dream. Or I would find an answer that would make it OK. My answer came from the infinite wisdom of God. His answers touch us at our core – because they are familiar, like coming home. They help us better understand the present world -- so that we can leave it behind. I was not alone. I just didn't know it yet. "Too much about God. But the intended audience will probably like it."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My motto in life is I am not beautiful like you, I am beautiful like me. If I have to think back to my school days, I always think of myself as the queen of the bitches! I was a snob deluxe and looked down on other people. But I always say, but God! While I never knew Him during my early years, He NEVER left me. This is my story, how I saw things through my brokenness. The purpose of this book is for people to see that our Father can use any ordinary person and that although your life feels normal, it is full of His Goodness and Grace. My story is how He prepared me for my purpose for which He created me. Each of us has a unique purpose so each of us has a unique story. As you read my life story look at your own life and see the Goodness and Love of our Father in it. You will also be able to see why He created you and how He is preparing you for your purpose. For this time, this place, these people. His Hand is in everything, before He created everything He had me in mind for my unique purpose, as well as for you - think about that! In my opinion, people can sometimes be so super-spiritual that they forget to live! I know because I was also there. Your life is the platform that the Lord uses to prepare you for your purpose, it is part of your destiny. Life is like a patchwork blanket. Some of the pieces are colorful, other paper-thin and torn, some dull and others beautiful with embroidery. Wonderfully made and beautiful. At first I just wanted to tell you the ugly, but as I've been thinking about my life lately, I've realized that it would be unfair to do so, so I decided to tell the good, the bad, and the ugly. And the funny! The Lord also gave us a sense of humor, and I Luv it !!! There are many good times. I think the Lord sometimes giggles when He thinks of my past ... Hope that you'll enjoy my journey, enjoy.
