Book excerpt: Scripture reveals a God who meets us where we are, not where we pretend to be. No More Faking Fine is your invitation to get honest with God through the life-giving language of lament. If you've ever been given empty clichés during challenging times, you know how painful it is to be misunderstood by well-meaning people. When life hurts, we often feel pressure--from others and ourselves--to keep it together, suck it up, or pray it away. But Scripture reveals a God who lovingly invites us to give honest voice to our emotions when life hits hard. For most of her life, Esther Fleece Allen believed she could bypass the painful emotions of her broken past by shutting them down altogether. She was known as an achiever and an overcomer on the fast track to success. But in silencing her pain, she robbed herself of the opportunity to be healed. Maybe you've done the same. Esther's journey into healing began when she discovered that God has given us a real-world way to deal with raw emotions and an alternative to the coping mechanisms that end up causing more pain. It's called lament--the gut-level, honest prayer that God never ignores, never silences, and never wastes. No More Faking Fine is your permission to lament, taking you on a journey down the unexpected pathway to true intimacy with God. Drawing from careful biblical study and hard-won insight, Esther reveals how to use God's own language to come closer to him as he leads us through our pain to the light on the other side, teaching you that: We are robbing ourselves of a divine mystery and a divine intimacy when we pretend to have it all together God does not expect us to be perfect; instead, he meets us where we are There is hope beyond your heartache, disappointment, and grief Like Esther, you'll soon find that when one person stops faking fine, it gives everyone else permission to do the same.

Excerpt from book: THE CHRISTIAN LIFE. 1 have fought a good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept thefaith. (Timothy, iv. 7.) These words are supposed to have been written as Paul was approaching the end of his life. He speaks of himself as a sacrifice, ready to be offered in its completion to Almighty God. I am already being offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. And then he looks back, and this is what his memory is able to bring to him: I have fought a good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith. It is certain he could not have uttered these words unless life had been a battle to him: It was not an easy thing for him to maintain a Christian experience and a Christian life; unless it had been a race: He never was satisfied, but was always pushing on to something higher and better; unless there had been something given to him to guard which he had found it difficult to guard: I have kept the faith. It is to these three aspects of life I desire to call your thought this morning. First. Life is a battle. It is a commonplace of science now to say that struggle for existence, survival of the fittest, is the aphorism and the interpretation of life. And though that has been enlarged, rightly and wisely, by Drummond, to struggle for others as well as struggle forexistence, still it is a struggle. Looked at in the very lowest plane, and in the very simplest form, life is a battle. If we rise from the material form to the social and commercial, you all recognize that. Life is a constant struggle. Commerce is a form of warfare, and only the men who have some war power in them win in the battle. It is true the battle is oftentimes an evil one; oftentimes corrupted by greed of booty; but it is a battle. It is in vain for us to devise schemes by...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Having known Rebecca for close to three years, one would not have considered her to be an author being always a quiet person. However, in the last year or so, she has become an outspoken young lady in the ways of what the Almighty has done in her life. And as I delved into this writing of hers, I often wondered, why did it take her so long to come out of her shell? As she describes many times the trials and tribulations she was going through, she always knew one thing; it was a win-win situation. She knew if she followed her Heavenly Father and the voice of His Son, Jesus, her Lord, He would cause her to have victory. In several sections of the book, she reveals deep spiritual things and experiences, as she does so, she prays for strength and wisdom. With her insight into the future and the past, she will keep you at the edge of your seat. Grab a cup of coffee, a comfortable seat, and begin to peer into her world of win-win's!

Rebecca is a woman of God who is constantly researching, questioning, and encouraging others to think and search for the answers also. She knows no stranger and is constantly helping those in need. When asked to read her book Life Really is Win-Win. I was unsure of what to expect yet I was amazed at the depth of knowledge of scripture. I was intrigued by the encouragement for the reader to explore the scriptures for the answers. For all who read her book and take her advice, they will find a deeper understanding of the Word of God what it means to us for a time such as this. Joyce Ferrate RN

Download or read book The Book of Eternal Life written by Delroy Douglas and published by . This book was released on 2020-06-26 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has always been my luring ambition to write a book of the most unusual kind or a book of a very unorthodox nature, a book that is void of the glorification of sex and violence, and a book that would be acceptable to God and Man. The book has been in my head all this time but I just didn't know where to begin because the ideas weren't flowing. However, after a phenomenal and electrifying experience, the ideas for such a book came to mind like a bolt of lightning...I was literally struck on the head by a bolt of lightning! The lightning picked me up from the ground and held me in suspension for a little while with a dazzling light round about my head with my body fully electrified. The remarkable thing was that while this was happening, I was not only fully electrified but fully conscious as well. After a while in suspension I was lowered to the ground in complete slow motion on my rear. What was really phenomenal about this shocking experience was the fact that not a single lock of hair on my head was singed or burned... there was no smoke undulating from my head! After this electrifying incident, I was never the same again... I'm convinced that the bolt of lightning that struck me on the head had transformed my mind into the 'Mind of God' and I began to think and speak differently. I became an avid reader of the Bible and it was after my experience with the Bible that the book in my head became very clear to me. I knew there and then I had to write 'The Book Of Life'.It's my solemn hope that every reader will find this book not only enlightening but electrifying as well.

Download or read book The Goal Is Life written by Michael Mavromatis and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2016-02-24 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If the gospel is intended to set us free, help us discover life, and become more than who we are right now, then why is it that many men struggle with Christianity? Why do so many good men find church so unattractive? Why cant I as a man find my place in this life? Forget about tips and techniques; they are fine if you want to create a spreadsheet, bake a cake, or fix your engine. What we need is to rediscover our design. What was God thinking when He created you as a man? What is His offer? And once we find it, how do we become the men God intended us to be from the very beginning? The gospel is a message of restoration. What we need most is to see our relationship restored with our true Father if we are ever to become the men God sees in us. We must learn to hear His voice. Christianity was never intended to be a religion. However, it was always meant to be a relationship, originating from the heart.
