Download or read book The Greatest of These written by Geneva King Emerson and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2010-06-29 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The greatest conquerors do not ride horses and wield swords; picture neither do they acquire victories by any physical force. The 10-1-2009 magnanimous souls who were the patterns for the characters 339 of this story overcame daunting obstacles by a higher power; then celebrated their victories in song. The 1930s and early 1940s were the meanest of hard times. People everywhere were desperate for a thread of hope. After the Great Depression began to lift from some areas, its effects were still strangling the Ozarks which was considered to be among the most desperate regions of the nation. Yet, people like the Harps and Boyers, their young families and neighbors, through faith, were enabled to find and maintain hope. The entire community pulled together to lovingly encourage and help all its members. Not only did they survive their terrible hardship; they lived with joy and a song, and they bestowed priceless treasures upon their progeny. They were "more than conquerors through Him that loved us." The story that Geneva Emerson presents of her childhood in the Ozark foothills during the depression is reminiscent of those occasionally heard from the old timers. However, as this older generation disappears, we are losing the history of the struggles that occurred with the poverty and hard labor in this area just to find daily survival. We need to retain as much of this history as possible to remind us of what it took to populate and develop this frontier Dr. Earl Belcher, Historian

Our culture offers a multitude of understandings and experiences through which the meaning of love can be filtered.

Download or read book But the Greatest of These Is Love written by Debbie Barrow Michael and published by Inspiring Voices. This book was released on 2012-08-30 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On a March evening in 2000, an unexpected and unsettling thought came out of nowhere, disrupting Debbie Michael's comfortable life--adoption! It was neither her idea nor her desire to adopt; she was already the mother of three. Instinctively, she knew God was speaking to her, but she did not want to listen if His message required action as life-changing as adopting an orphan. Dread lingered in the aftermath of the disturbing suggestion, and a debilitating fog of uncertainty settled over her life. A journey of a thousand miles (or five thousand, in this case) might begin with a single step, but Debbie was not eager to take that first step. Though God was relentless, she remained adamant. She was determined to ignore the nudging. But God would not be ignored! God pried Debbie out of her comfortable existence and opened a door to a life she didn't know existed. But the Greatest of These is Love is about much more than adoption. It is a story about the powerful and astonishing ways God uses ordinary people to accomplish His divine intention that we love one another.

Book excerpt: One of the most unique aspects of Christianity is that the Creator of the universe draws us, the created, into a place of close relationship with himself. If you and I stopped at this point, it is quite certain that God has done more than we deserve. But God does not leave us to ourselves, even at the early stages of our born-again experience. He beckons each of us to live an existence that not only includes him but encompasses the kingdom through every part of our being. This is the place of close relationship that Jesus told his disciples they would experience. It is the place of moving past just working for God and becoming a friend of God.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though St. Elizabeth of Hungary lived over 800 years ago, she has a unique appeal for Christians today. Love, rather than ideology or politics, was the basis of her whole life. Born in 1207, the daughter of King Andrew II of Hungary and married to Ludwig IV, the Landgraf of Thuringia, Elizabeth was a happily married woman who loved her husband and children. As a lover of the poor, she not only practiced charity, but protested the injustices practiced against the poor in the feudal world, even her husband's own policies. Above all, Elizabeth hungered for God and found him in her everyday activities as a noblewoman, ruler, wife and mother before she found him in religious life and service to the poor in imitation of St. Francis. Originally published in 2007 to coincide with the 800th anniversary of St. Elizabeth's birth, this life, now revised and expanded, is based on the most up-to-date research and is accompanied by the testimonies given at her canonization process, including some that have never before been translated into English.

And in a way that will make you excited to be a Christian! Core Christianity covers topics like: Jesus as both fully God and fully man. The doctrine of the Trinity.

Download or read book But The Greatest of These is Love written by Dennis Perkins and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2019-08-28 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: And the Greatest of These Is Love is an adventure into learning about the very heart of God, concerning not only man plurally but man and woman singularly/individually. God has an individually-drafted plan, which is specifically detailed for each one of us. Many of us tend to have our own plans for our lives already mapped out before we begin to pursue them. God has a plan set forth for each of us that always involves others because he has a heart for people. He so wants us to have his heart through the reestablishment and total restoration of intimacy in relationship to himself and man (plural). This book will give instances that will cause the reader to do an inspection of their own heart regarding motives, purpose, and pursuits. God is exposing the motives of our hearts in order to weed out that which chokes out his word, which is the truth. Facts are great to have in our daily lives because they may create a sometimes-safe structure but can also disengage the heart while connecting with our intellect. The truth is far greater than what is factual. This book focuses upon God's word, which is truth. Jesus says in John 17:17: "Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth." Allow the words of this book to speak to your heart, not your head. This book will begin to take you to a fresh place of determination to see yourself as a son or daughter of God! This is our Father's intention being communicated through the pages of this book. It will give you another angle of spiritual insight into God's love which already abides in every true believer. Now, in you abides faith, hope, and love; but of these three, the greatest is love!
