Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It had seemed like an eternity since The Artist was given the plan for the tapestry. He'd been waiting for this moment""the exact moment He would be given the opportunity to begin weaving. He had planned for this, but until He was given permission, He could only anticipate what He could do and how it would look. Now was that time. He stepped in front of the tattered and worn-looking tapestry. It wasn't at all what He had intended. In fact, it was quite the opposite. What should have become beautiful and vibrant over time was instead deteriorating and coming apart. Who had done this? The Artist knew exactly what needed to be done. No question. He would have to start over . . . with a new canvas. The tapestry was ready to be dismantled so that the true condition of the canvas could be revealed. He began to methodically and precisely remove each strand of thread so as not to cause even more damage to what had already been done. The tapestry was fragile now. Strand by strand, the dismantling continued until finally The Artist had uncovered all the hidden imperfections. It was just as He thought it would be""stained, torn, and tattered. Years of neglect and abuse to the tapestry had left it damaged, so damaged that in an amateur's eyes, it would have been discarded. But this was The Artist . . . would He be able to repair what had been done? What would He determine? Did the canvas have any value? The Artist had the plan, and what He could do with this canvas would be beyond what anyone could imagine. He was about to create His masterpiece.

Dear readers and friends, it was so wonderful to share this story of what God gave me to write about in the creation of woman in our life with you. Many years ago I woke up one morning with a feeling that told me I should start putting the things about His Masterpiece of creation on paper. I had no idea how to do it. I just started by jotting down the main highlights of all the things based on my experience that happened in my life over the years. Then I asked the Holy Spirit to inspire me as He inspired the people who wrote the Bible. This is why this story I call “God Masterpiece of creation woman” It amazed me how i never knew how to write and especially something or someone to write until now. Every day when I sat down in my lazy boy to write, or laid in bed, the words just flowed. It was an amazing experience, I know that this is not my doing; it is the Lord’s doing. I know a few more stories will come as God continues to do His work. Specifically, this is why I think you (the reader) would like my novel. I have taken time to carry out my research on what you seek or need to know. I have also included comparison titles to give you a feel of the book to prove that I know my target audience. I am an interesting and a likable person judging by my character. I want the readers to use the blank pages to take notes and tell me about each paragraph after each STORY. I do not have any publishing credits, but experience in the subjects presented in the manuscript, included is a short biography. I’ll also let you know if I’m working on something else to prove to you that I am not a one-hit-wonder. But I won’t pitch that novel here.

From the underside, life can seem meaningless, even hopeless! But what if we caught a glimpse of the other side? What if the Maker allowed us to see the masterpiece that he has in mind? Through the lens of Paul's letter to the Ephesians, The Masterpiece explores the tapestry of life that God plans for those who are "in Christ."

When these three come together-grace, servant hood, and the sovereignty of God-the result is a masterpiece. That's the life God has planned for you!

Download or read book Building on the Rock written by Peter Maiden and published by Monarch Books. This book was released on 2016-07-22 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How should we define our identity, as Christians? And how do we actually define ourselves, usually? In this short but powerful book, Peter Maiden (former International leader for OM) shows how we must find our identity in Christ if we are to have any stability. So many Christians struggle because they find their identity and self worth in things which are ultimately unworthy and utterly unstable. Or they find it in fleeting and vulnerable places - leadership positions, professions and achievements. Even family roles change, and mutate. As the people of God our identity is not to be found in our achievements, appearance, career or even our family. But our place in Christ is eternal, unshakeable. We are sons and daughters of God welcomed into his family through grace, which has been sealed by an eternal covenant. Anything less than this can only lead to disappointment, disillusionment, legalism and even the abuse of others, as we relentlessly seek to prove and assert ourselves rather than relaxing in the security and certainty of family.
