Book excerpt: In this five-week study, Davis addresses life’s turbulent, trying moments by looking at some of Scripture’s most significant “storm stories.” By turning the popular phrase, “the calm before the storm” on its head, The Storm Before the Calm presents a unique take on the significance of life’s storms—grief, job loss, relationship failures, etc.—and how faith in Christ helps us weather them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The storms of life threaten all of us at one time or another, leaving us feeling lost, alone and without any hope. We all face adversities in the name of relationships, physical and mental health, the pain of loss, work stress, finances and persecution. Our relationship with Jesus Christ does not always exclude us from all the unpleasant circumstances life sometimes throws our way. But the Bible makes it clear that when we turn our lives over to God and pursue Him wholeheartedly, He will never leave us nor forsake us (Deuteronomy 31:6), no matter what our temporary situation looks like in the natural. The truth is, we are never alone, and there is a Friend who sticks closer than a brother (Proverbs 18:24), granting to us out of His great mercy an inexhaustible supply of power and love to weather any life-storm we face. Through it all, He ensures we are more than conquerors. (Romans 8:37) This is the second of two volumes in a year-long daily devotional that highlights nearly a hundred of the most comforting and powerful verses on how God is our Shelter from the storm. Streamlined commentary unveils the truth of each passage and offers practical application to incorporate in one’s daily life. This devotional outlines the source material for your unwavering faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and offers biblical proof that we will be carried through the storm and rise above!

Book excerpt: Eternity's Handmaiden is a fast paced espionage thriller taking the reader from one end of the timeline to another. No one ever escapes The Agency. Tuesday, 6 August 2085 1500 Archangel Her frowned deepened as she erased the message and then all traces that it had even made it to her. It was what she had feared: a rendezvous. They would be by this afternoon to pick her up, take her away from her pristine Alaskan solitude and into a world that she had sworn off of. Or so she had thought. She quickly learned long ago, much to her dismay, that one ever left the agency. Its insidious fingers, like the very talons of death, were always there, ready at any moment to pounce and dig themselves in, dragging one back into a world of intrigue and treachery, death and foulness that filled her mouth with such a taste of shit that she almost gagged. When she had left fifteen years ago, after forty years of faithful service, she had made it clear that she was done with it all, finished with walking in the shadows and killing in the darkness. But they had had other plans.

Download or read book Navigating the Storms of Life written by Samson Chama and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In life, people face challenges and storms that come in different forms and fashions. These personal storms vary in scope, size and gravity, and some have short term effects whereas others may have long term effects. Whatever the magnitude of a storm, perhaps the most critical consideration at the end of the day is not so much the challenges or storms themselves, but rather how people respond to them. In this era of social, economic and political uncertainty, it is important for human service professionals such as social workers to gain a deeper understanding of different types of challenges that may impact the people they assist. Furthermore, it is important for them to attain a good grasp and understanding of how to address and manage these storms effectively. They may manage them on their own behalf or with their clients. A lack of understanding of these storms may lead to ineffective and misplaced interventions which do not offer any hope for the future. When people facing storms are given misplaced assistance or support, both the social worker and the client lose. This book examines the subject of storms from a Christian perspective and uses a real life experience of loss to highlight important lessons for both Christian and non-Christian social workers. It incorporates in each chapter vivid and thoughtful examples that illustrate storms, their impact on people and implications for recovery. Each chapter is coupled within a social workers perspective that highlights useful lessons for social work practice. The chapters also provide the reader with reflective questions that engage the readers by giving them an opportunity to explore their own lives, as well as discover life challenges they might have faced. The book not only sheds light on storms and challenges, but provides a relevant nexus of hope, faith and courage. This is exemplified in the chapters toward the end of the book that offer hope for now and for the hereafter. This is crucial in that the chapters do not leave the reader hanging and wondering what is next, but rather cultivate in the reader timely confidence, purpose for survival and a bigger perspective. This book is a hope builder, a confidence giver and a purpose provider for those struggling with challenges and personal storms in their lives. It provides readers with a new lens for the present and beyond, a lens for overcoming any storm. Individuals of all backgrounds including Christian and non-Christian social workers will gain from this book. It will not only strengthen their resolve for life, but will allow them the tenacity to look forward to a life after this. It is a reminder that, despite the storms and no matter how much people suffer, God is orchestrating the story. He is in control, He knows what He is doing, and at the end of the day its about Him.

Download or read book The Storm written by G. Flavia Crihană and published by Europa Edizioni. This book was released on 2022-01-31 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Storm is an emotional forecast of a soul defeated by patriarchal society that is trying to regain its balance back. Through her poems, the reader explores Orion’s hidden and indecent thoughts and desires, dealing with love, life and the fear of death. The writer depicts her battle with mental health and honestly exposes her vulnerabilities, trying to find her place in a mad and insensitive world. The main theme of The Storm is the search of Love as a perfect connection through mind, body and soul, as well as natural phenomenons used as a metaphor for Orion’s deeper wounds and traumas. It also depicts the body as a decaying organism, and examines taboo topics as sexuality and female self-pleasuring. Flavia Crihana started her writing journey after an overwhelming break up in 2018. Nevertheless, she feels like writing is a creative calling she was born with, part of her DNA. In her darkest moments writing was the ultimate tool to find relief and to give grief and pain a voice. She was able to use the pen as a tool to find a meaning in the pain and confusion, an inner order in the storm of thoughts and emotions she was experiencing. Through her words, the reader is transported into a path of loss, grief and solitude, just to find a new beginning where everything seems to end.

Download or read book THE STORM OF DOUTB written by GUILLEMRO CORONA and published by Guillermo Corona. This book was released on 2023-12-11 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The storm of Doubt," powerful words that resonated in my soul from the moment I first heard them from Dante Gebel. As he continued to touch on the subject, I began to reflect in a special way like never before and to understand many things about my life. From that point on, every message I hear from him feels as if he is speaking exclusively to me, and that's when the idea of writing a book on this theme was born in my heart. Then, one day, in the solitude of my study, I wondered how or where to begin writing. I truly felt the Lord prompting me to put into words what I inexplicably felt compelled to do—a work different from the others I have published. I realized that life is not just about boarding a ship and drifting aimlessly across the seven seas. There is more to it, like understanding where to navigate, where we currently are, and where we are headed. After listening to Dante and the way he conveyed what the Lord wanted me to pursue, I was filled with inspiration to make this book something truly special, in the hands of God. For some time now, I have been going through a similar juncture. After working for twenty years in the same company, fifteen of which as a supervisor, I believe I have reached the peak of my professional level. I am aware that the comfort I have enjoyed for many years prevented me from thinking about my retirement and what comes next. What will I do? Of course, something I love doing and that I am passionate enough about to do for the rest of my days. I started taking leadership workshops and exploring various personal development topics. However, it wasn't until 2018, when someone told me about John Maxwell's platform and team, that I felt it was truly meant for me. From the very beginning, I was excited because I had been reading John's books for years. Just the idea of being close to him ignited a strong flame within me, illuminating me with intensity. Unbeknownst to me, another flame was ignited in the company due to casual circumstances of life, causing my workload to simultaneously decrease. I used to believe I had no time for anything, as my workload and responsibilities were extremely high. But to my surprise, that "time" started to appear constantly, seemingly out of nowhere. For example, when I had meetings and classes scheduled at the same time, the meetings would get canceled, witnessing how the magic of manifestation unfolded. This way, I always had the space for my new goal. Sundays suddenly became free for me, and that's when I started going to River Arena. It was something I never planned; it was God's doing, who arranges everything and placed me where He wanted me to be. He sent me signs and people I needed to meet, or simply through dreams, He showed me the path. Since we often take everything for granted and fail to see what He truly wants us to do, I invite you today to let ourselves be guided by His signs on the specific path we have toward our purpose in life. After years of sailing through stormy waters, losing my way time and time again, being in what I called danger, uncertainty, and failure, experiencing shipwrecks and disasters, I am now making turns that are very important because it is Jesus who captains the ship of my life. Yes, I have been shipwrecked! But here and now, I am certain that I will reach the ports I must reach according to the Creator's desires and divine timing, to fulfill the service missions I have chosen with love and in the company of those who have also been chosen. I recall God's word in Acts 27:44, which I invite you to read and contemplate, as it reinforces my historic moment and inspired the painting turned into a frame and illustration on the cover of the book you now hold in your hands, just as you hold your own life.

Michael Gear and Kathleen O'Neal Gear (Sun Born, Morning River), which vividly recounts the devastating clash of cultures that occurs when Native Americans and Europeans make first contact.

Only after a firsthand lesson in Kristiano brutality does Black Shell fully comprehend the dangers these invaders pose to his people’s way of life. While his first instinct is to run far from the then, Black Shell has been called to a greater destiny by the Spirit Being known as Horned Serpent. With Pearl Hand by his side, Black Shell must find a way to unite the disparate tribes and settlements of his native land and overcome the merciless armies of the man called Hernando de Soto. Using archeological data, ethnographic records, and historical journals, the authors bring to vivid life the beliefs, technologies, and daily experiences of lost American civilizations.

Family is difficult because family—every family—is an echo of the gospel. Family can be the source of some of the most transcendent human joy, and family can leave us crumpled up on the side of the road. Family can make us who we are, and family can break our hearts. Why would this social arrangement have that much power, for good or for ill, over us?
