Book excerpt: PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Readers will be astounded at the magnitude of God's love available in various areas of their lives. This often generalized, but unexplored topic will revitalize the hearts of each reader as they discover God's unconditional provision in the areas of: loneliness, broken heartedness, forgiveness, and spiritual hunger. In the premier book, Let God Love You, Smith presents God's love in a new light. Challenging readers to think of God's love as divine and different from mankind's version of love. Smith explains this as the basis of grasping one's ultimate purpose in life. The Healing Heart of God provides readers with hope for true joy in their daily lives. Drawing from the personal mission statement of Jesus found in Luke 4: 18-19, ...to bind up the brokenhearted..., Smith encourages readers to allow Christ to mend their pain from the past and chart their steps for the future. Tackling the often avoided subject of harboring unforgiveness, Smith encourages readers to release bitterness and refresh in God's love. Forgiveness explains that God provides the power for each one to forgive not only his neighbor, but also himself. In Never Lonely Again, readers will discover that no person can truly love or understand them like their Creator. Smith explains that ...man was not created for loneliness, but for companionship at the highest level..., the companionship of God's love.

Download or read book The Nearness of God written by Sandra Wade and published by . This book was released on 2018-01-28 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sandra Wade has known Jesus as her Savior since she was a young girl, but in 2014, following a year of treatments for cancer, she found herself in a place of glorious solitude with Jesus. She had overcome disease by God's healing hand and the vessels He used to heal her. She had laid cancer at the cross and allowed Jesus to carry her on her journey. Guided by the Holy Spirit, she found love, forgiveness, and every form of healing imaginable. She was hearing God and receiving God's Word in her heart, learning how to put His Word and His love into action. In her older age, God once again called her into service, and she said yes. In Hebrews 13:16, we are told, "And do not neglect doing good and sharing, for with such sacrifices God is pleased." She began to write and e-mail the messages He was both giving and teaching her--starting small at first when a friend requested she send devotionals to her daughter and then growing as the Lord brought her others to share with. This book is a collection of those devotionals in an effort to pass His truth forward. The Nearness of God is our good, and God upholds us in His righteous right hand--a place He longs for us all to be. But as for me, the nearness of God is my good; I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, That I may tell of all Your works. --Ps. 73:28

Download or read book My Heart Longs for the Lord written by Lei Cantrell and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2018-07-18 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God is love. He often reveals himself in special ways to show his love to us. A friend once said that this life is a big classroom. God has us in the classroom to learn the lessons. He is the teacher and uses the obstacles as the means for us to learn of his love, his discipline, and his sovereignty. Through learning, we draw closer to God. However, there are so many circumstances in the world that cause people not to feel or sense his presence. Because I understand how you feel, I decided to invite you on a journey to see how he has been revealing himself through the obstacles of this life to cause me to grow in him. The purpose of My Heart Longs for the Lord is to reach out to people from all walks of life. I pray that this book can be inspiring and encouraging to many in their walk with God and enhance their personal relationship with him.

Download or read book The Wonder of His Love written by Nancy Stafford and published by Multnomah. This book was released on 2009-02-04 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In thirty-one biblical, highly personal meditations, Nancy Stafford leads us to the edge of an endless sea—the vast, incomprehensible ocean of God’s love. Nancy reflects upon the terrible beauty of His love, the wonder of forgiveness, waiting in His love, mystery and intimacy, and the calming reality of love that never fails. Each meditation includes a Scripture to ponder and an opportunity to respond to God in prayer. Here are memorable thoughts to cling to through the hours of the day...and night! A Touch…A Taste…A Testament of Never-Ending Love Imagine what life would be like if you began to grasp the depth of God’s love for you. It would change you. It would calm your fears, transform how you see yourself, and ignite your heart with love for Him and others. In thirty one stirring reflections, Nancy Stafford offers a fresh glimpse into the many facets of His eternal love. She invites you to wade into the deep, to venture further into the mystery and majesty of His unfathomable love, to embark on a never-ending journey into the heart of God. Come. Leave the shore. Experience the wonder of His love. Story Behind the Book Within these pages, my objective is to merely begin to help readers "dip their toe" into the vastness of God’s love for them. My hope is that each piece will draw the reader closer to the heart of God, where His love crowds out fear, cynicism, loneliness, and apathy. I hope readers will be reminded of—no, ignited by—God’s love for them. My prayer is that these thoughts and reflections will give readers new eyes to see God’s passionate presence in their own lives and that they will sense His whisper to "taste and see" that He is good, trustworthy, and a lover like no other.

Download or read book Rediscovering God s Grand Story written by James M. Roseman and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2017-09-15 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the passage to modernity we in the West have lost the ability to see things whole. We've closed our minds to all things transcendent and default to unbelief, and can't make sense of the persistent echoes of the voice of God that reverberate in our souls. In Rediscovering God's Grand Story, James Roseman picks up the strands of science, philosophy, history, the arts, and theology, and reweaves the tapestry to see a coherent story that makes the best sense of the world and provides real meaning and significance to our lives--God's Grand Myth. We see that the signals of transcendence that confound our culture of doubt are a universal language and vocabulary of the heart echoing the voice of God; and in the very Judeo-Christian story we so readily jettison is found the Author enabling us to see the world whole again. This essay tells why the story and promise of Christianity is so hard to hear today but won't go away. Could it be that, as T. S. Eliot wrote in the mid-twentieth century, "at the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time"?
Download or read book The Tender Words of God written by Ann Spangler and published by HarperChristian + ORM. This book was released on 2009-01-06 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the years, Ann Spangler has read through the Bible several times, plowing straight through from Genesis to Revelation. But like many people who tend to be self-critical, Ann found it easier to absorb the harsher-sounding passages in the Bible than those that speak of God’s love and compassion.Then one day, Ann listened as her friend Joan talked about a time in her life when she became convinced of God’s love. Ann expected her friend to reveal something complicated and difficult, a tragedy perhaps that God had brought her through. But Joan had simply decided to set aside one month in which she would act as though God loved her. And that settled it for her—for good.In the months that followed, Ann decided to develop a remedial course in which she could reflect morning and evening on the most tender words of God in the Bible. She prayed that God’s penetrating Word would transform her as she hunted through Scripture for words of mercy, compassion, peace, and protection. The Tender Words of God is the result of this process, offering ninety days of devotional readings on some of Scripture’s most encouraging words. While the core of the book is Scripture, each week contains reflections and daily prayers that chronicle Ann’s struggle to know God better. These are included not because she believes her quest is all that remarkable, but precisely because she knows it is ordinary, expressing as it does our common longing to love and be loved, especially by the One who made us. Ann invites you to join her on this journey to know God better, to let his tender words become like guardians at the beginning and at the end of each day, convincing you once and for all of his faithful, committed love.
