Download or read book God s House Calls Finding God Through My Patients written by Jim Roach M D and published by Rrp International LLC. This book was released on 2015-03-05 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jack, an alcoholic, had a near-death experience. He didn't share the details, but it shook him up. He did all he could to make amends...Two years later, he had another near-death experience - this time blissful! "Nearly every week, I encounter someone who has had an out-of-body experience," Dr. Jim Roach says. "It can be during childbirth, sexual assault, near-death or spontaneous." But what this teaches us is exceedingly important in understanding who we are and where we are headed. In God's House Calls, Dr. Roach shares patient stories that reflect creativeness from another dimension, stories that by themselves, or from unsavory characters, would be unbelievable. But these stories, from those you would want as your best friend, are incredibly moving. Together, they proclaim a fantastic message - and beg the question: Are we listening? Jack Canfield, multiple #1 NY Times best-selling author of Chicken Soup for the Soul, said about Dr. Roach: "You have this amazing amount of knowledge...you are one of the most encyclopedic minds I have ever met...They should take your brain and put it in the Smithsonian if and when you ever die...I think if you don't take advantage of him it is like someone saying here is a map, all you have to do is go and take away truckloads of gold, all you have to do is get in a truck and drive over there, and there is no reason to be suffering from anything right now if you have access to this guy right here...I literally can't talk highly enough about how much I think you are really doing good stuff in the world."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After thirty-two years of complete silence, Robert Newmiller feels compelled to share his early church life and the result of an ensuing struggle that played out within the deepest regions of his heart and mind. Although he once trembled at the thought of speaking of the past, he now sees that the hand of God's providence was at work within the darkest of circumstances, and he now understands that his brokenness and tears served a greater purpose. Join Newmiller as he shares his past in Molested in God's House. 'This is the poignant story of the journey of a soul. A soul born to trust, damaged by betrayal, tormented by the loss of faith, then emergent with God's love renewed. Mr. Newmiller courageously shares the lifelong ramifications of sexual abuse. He challenges us as a society to stop this evil and protect our children. He espouses the power of God in accepting and granting forgiveness and then reintegrating love, hope, trust and faith into his life and the life of his family.' Susan Pronchik, guidance counselor 'Molested in God's House is a journey of faith that starts out in the wide-eyed wonder of a child, takes us through the sequences of the most evil depravity that life can mete out to one person, and comes full circle to a living faith restored to a new and greater dimension.' Karen Tomlinson, founder, Step by Step Learning Center 'This book is a roadmap of sorts that speaks to the hearts of all fallen Christians who believe incorrectly that they have fallen too far from our Creator's love to find their way home. It proclaims: You are welcome again in your heavenly Father's house!' Jim Femino, Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter

Book excerpt: When Christie Purifoy arrived at Maplehurst that September, she was heavily pregnant with both her fourth child and her dreams of creating a sanctuary that would be a fixed point in her busily spinning world. The sprawling Victorian farmhouse sitting atop a Pennsylvania hill held within its walls the possibility of a place where her family could grow, where friends could gather, and where Christie could finally grasp and hold the thing we all long for--home. In lyrical, contemplative prose, Christie slowly unveils the small trials and triumphs of that first year at Maplehurst--from summer's intense heat and autumn's glorious canopy through winter's still whispers and spring's gentle mercies. Through stories of planting and preserving, of opening the gates wide to neighbors, and of learning to speak the language of a place, Christie invites readers into the joy of small beginnings and the knowledge that the kingdom of God is with us here and now. Anyone who has felt the longing for home, who yearns to reconnect with the beauty of nature, and who values the special blessing of deep relationships with family and friends will love finding themselves in this story of earthly beauty and soaring hope.
Download or read book The Grammar of God written by Aviya Kushner and published by Random House. This book was released on 2015-09-08 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For readers of Bruce Feiler’s Walking the Bible and Kathleen Norris’s The Cloister Walk comes a powerful exploration of the Bible in translation. Aviya Kushner grew up in a Hebrew-speaking family, reading the Bible in the original Hebrew and debating its meaning over the dinner table. She knew much of it by heart—and was therefore surprised when, while getting her MFA at the University of Iowa, she took the novelist Marilynne Robinson’s class on the Old Testament and discovered she barely recognized the text she thought she knew so well. From differences in the Ten Commandments to a less ambiguous reading of the creation story to a new emphasis on the topic of slavery, the English translation often felt like another book entirely from the one she had grown up with. Kushner began discussing the experience with Robinson, who became a mentor, and her interest in the differences between the ancient language and the modern one gradually became an obsession. She began what became a ten-year project of reading different versions of the Hebrew Bible in English and traveling the world in the footsteps of the great biblical translators, trying to understand what compelled them to take on a lifetime project that was often considered heretical and in some cases resulted in their deaths. In this eye-opening chronicle, Kushner tells the story of her vibrant relationship to the Bible, and along the way illustrates how the differences in translation affect our understanding of our culture’s most important written work. A fascinating look at language and the beliefs we hold most dear, The Grammar of God is also a moving tale about leaving home and returning to it, both literally and through reading. Praise for The Grammar of God “The highest praise for a book, perhaps, is tucking it into a slot on your bookshelf where you’ll always be able to effortlessly slide it out, lay it across your lap and soak it up for a minute or a long afternoon’s absorption. The Grammar of God: A Journey into the Words and Worlds of the Bible, Aviya Kushner’s poetic and powerful plumbing of both the Hebrew and English translations of the Bible, now rests in just such an easy-to-grab spot in my library. In a word, it’s brilliant. And beautiful.”—Barbara Mahany, Chicago Tribune “Aviya Kushner has written a passionate, illuminating essay about meaning itself. The Grammar of God is also a unique personal narrative, a family story with the Bible and its languages as central characters.”—Robert Pinsky “Kushner is principally interested in the meanings and translations of key Biblical passages, and she pursues this interest with a fierce passion. . . . A paean, in a way, to the rigors and frustrations—and ultimate joys—of trying to comprehend the unfathomable.”—Kirkus Reviews “A remarkable and passionately original book of meditation, exegesis, and memoir. In Kushner’s redemptive vision, the Bible in its many translations is a Noah’s ark, and her book, too, does a work of saving. When I put it down, I wept.”—Rosanna Warren, author of Stained Glass “What a glorious book! From Sarah’s laughter to the idea of Jewish law being a dialogue and not a rigid set of rules, this is a book not only to learn from but to savor.”—Peter Orner, author of Love and Shame and Love “In this splendid book, each page is a wonder.”—Willis Barnstone, author of The Restored New Testament
