Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our life is broken up into three main parts: the past, the present, and the future. If you looked at a map of your life's journey, you'd see where you've been, where you are, and where you're going to be. Where we've been is deceived. Where we are is lost. And where we're going to be depends on what we learn from this point forward. Being lost doesn't exactly mean you're going the wrong way; it just means you need help getting pointed in the right direction. Heaven Quest will help you understand your place in God's world by first reviewing your past, then pointing out your current location and pointing you in the direction God wants you to be headed. Not only will you better understand where and who you are at this point in your life, it will show you how to become who God intended you to be. By looking at some of the greatest Bible heroes, you'll better understand the small things they did that helped them accomplish great tasks. Consider reading this book to be like the halftime of a big game. Only difference is, no matter how bad you were losing at the end of the first half, now the score is reset. You are starting with a clean slate. Using quoted Bible scriptures and easy-to-understand explanations, Heaven Quest is sure to open your eyes to what you've been missing in your Christian walk.

Download or read book Go to Heaven written by Fulton J. Sheen and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2017-08-07 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why is it, asks Bishop Fulton Sheen, that one hears so often the expression "Go to hell!" and almost never the expression "Go to heaven!" Here, at his most penetrating, challenging, and illuminating best is Bishop Sheen with his answer, in a book that breathes new meaning into the truths about heaven and hell, and new life into the concepts of faith, tolerance, love, prayer, suffering, and death. Beginning with "The First Faint Summons to Heaven," Sheen shows how unpopular it is today to be a true Christian, and describes the struggle for living our faith amid the disorders of our times. Keenly aware of evil in the myriad forms it takes in today's world, Bishop Sheen writes about the constant battle man faces with the "seven pallbearers of character" - pride, avarice, envy, lust, anger, gluttony and sloth - linking them with the corrosive forces that never cease in their attacks on the Church and those who earnestly desire to be serious Christians. In Go to Heaven, a great spiritual teacher and writer, deeply aware of the human and spiritual conflicts being waged in the world, shows us the way to heaven in a most eloquent book, encouraging the reader to choose heaven now, and to understand the "reality of hell."

Book excerpt: A GILDED WALK: ON AND OFF THE ROAD TO PARADISE is about a journey, your journey as well as the author’s. It’s called LIFE.

Download or read book A Travel Guide to Heaven written by Anthony DeStefano and published by Image. This book was released on 2005-11-01 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A recent Newsweek poll reports that 76 percent of Americans believe in heaven. Yet even avid believers have difficulty conjuring up more than vague images of halos, harps, and wispy angels in flowing robes. Anthony DeStefano knew there had to be a more complete, meaningful, and comforting vision of what heaven is like, and A Travel Guide to Heaven is the entertaining and enlightening result. Using the Bible as his guide, the author notes that heaven is not only a spiritual place, but also a physical place, a fabulous “luxury resort” more sumptuous than any on Earth. The residents are real, their bodies transformed into their most perfect selves—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. By making a spiritual subject immensely physical, the book provides a picture of amazing places to visit, things to do, luxuries for pampering—not to mention deep, abiding joy. Combining the clarity and logic of C. S. Lewis with a terrific sense of fun and adventure, DeStefano creates a brilliant, reassuring portrait of heaven, a place that has intrigued and puzzled humankind throughout history. With its clear view of the afterlife, A Travel Guide to Heaven might best be compared to James Van Praagh's Talking to Heaven or Betty J. Eadie's Embraced by the Light in its tremendous message of comfort and reassurance.

Download or read book Heaven Lake written by John Dalton and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2011-02-15 with total page 671 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heaven Lake is about many things: China, God, passion, friendship, travel, even the reckless smuggling of hashish. But above all, this extraordinary debut is about the mysteries of love. Vincent Saunders has graduated from college, left his small hometown in Illinois, and arrived in Taiwan as a Christian volunteer. After opening a ministry house, he meets a wealthy Taiwanese businessman, Mr. Gwa, who tells Vincent that on his far travels to western China he has discovered a beautiful young woman living near the famous landmark Heaven Lake. Elegant, regal, clever, she works as a lowly clerk in the local railway station. Gwa wishes to marry her, but is thwarted by the political conflict between China and Taiwan. In exchange for a sum of money, will Vincent travel to China on Gwa's behalf, take part in a counterfeit marriage, and bring her back to Taiwan for Gwa to marry legitimately? Vincent, largely innocent about the ways of the world and believing that marriage is a sacrament, says no. Gwa is furious. Soon, though, everything Vincent understands about himself and his vocation in Taiwan changes. Supplementing his income from his sparsely attended Bible-study classes, he teaches English to a group of enthusiastic schoolgirls -- and it is his tender, complicated friendship with a student that forces Vincent to abandon the ministry house and sends him on a path toward spiritual reckoning. It also causes him to reconsider Gwa's extraordinary proposition. What follows is not just an exhilarating -- sometimes harrowing -- journey to a remote city in China, but an exploration of love, passion, loneliness, and the nature of faith. John Dalton's exquisite narrative arcs across China as gracefully as it plumbs the human heart, announcing a major new talent. John Dalton was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, the youngest of seven children. Upon graduation from college, he received a plane ticket to travel around the world, and so began an enduring interest in travel and foreign culture. During the late 1980s he lived in Taiwan for several years and traveled in Mainland China and other Asian countries. He attended the University of Iowa Writer's Workshop in the early 1990s and was awarded two fellowships at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown as well as a James Michener/Paul Engle Award for his novel-in-progress, Heaven Lake. He presently lives with his wife in North Carolina.

Download or read book I m Dying to Get to Heaven written by Brian Thomas and published by . This book was released on 2019-07-10 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I'm Dying to Get to Heaven is a short yet powerful book that centers around the conflict of our two natures. We have a worldly or human nature and a spiritual nature, both living within us side by side. The purpose of this book is to help us become more spiritual than we presently are, especially if you are actively seeking to understand how spirituality can help you improve your life. We can be entirely worldly if we let our egotistical needs, wants, and desires, along with a dedicated passion for possessions and pleasures rule us. No one will ever be completely spiritual because our human nature will not allow it. We are flawed and imperfect. The best we can hope for is to learn how to let parts of our egotistical wants die and fade away and then to live peacefully with a balance of the worldly and the spiritual. Within these pages is a helpful aide in such a quest to help all of us become totally aware of our human nature. Awareness of such dualities is the first step in embracing a strong, spiritual life. "Grant that I may die to all things in this world." -Thomas � Kempis, The Imitation of Christ

Book excerpt: There is a church not too far from us that recently added a $25 million addition to their building.

Jesus Wants to save Christians is a book about faith and fear, wealth and war, poverty, power, safety, terror, Bibles, bombs, and homeland insecurity. It's about empty empires and the truth that everybody's a priest. It's about oppression, occupation, and what happens when Christians support, animate and participate in the very things Jesus came to set people free from.

Download or read book Spiritual Signs Along the Way written by Robert Lane and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2019-12-20 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With God's direction, I have embarked upon a journey with a purpose, and that is to share the word of God in a way so that everyone can understand regardless of his or her status. I ask that as you go through its pages with me and that you will do so with an open mind, praying and looking up the scriptures given that I have not already provided. As fellow motorists, we are all aware that, to go on a road trip, it requires planning, and preparation, considering such things as packing, funds, vehicle readiness if driving, and the route. There are several modes of travel, but driving, to me, is the most rewarding because of sceneries, interaction with others, and to be able to stop at a restaurant, and enjoy good food and conversation. Some of the things that affect our travels are the road signs motorists come upon. Even though we have those physical signs to guide us, those signs can also be applied spiritually. I hope to show that it has always been God's plan to guide and direct man's steps. Any highway, road, or freeway that does not have signs to aid in traveling will not be a safe avenue in which to travel. Cities and states have mapped out their roads, and streets have various signage to make our motoring travels safer and less stressful. Now, come along with me on a wonderful journey into this book that will prepare us for the Christian journey, and may the Holy Spirit fill every void of misunderstanding God's holy word with clarity and revelation.
