Download or read book Wholehearted Faith written by Rachel Held Evans and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2021-11-02 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times Bestseller “A touching series of essays in which Evans, with Chu’s invisible pen, explores how one might find a path forward in Christianity beyond conservative evangelicalism” -Eliza Griswold, The New Yorker “Evans died at 37, but a beautiful new book captures her brave outlook. . . . I could not help but notice the poetry in Evans’s prose. . . . What readers will find in these pages was someone deeply human: funny, irreverent, curious, wise, forgiving, nonjudgmental.” -Maggie Smith, The Washington Post A collection of original writings by Rachel Held Evans, whose reflections on faith and life continue to encourage, challenge, and influence. Rachel Held Evans is widely recognized for her theologically astute, profoundly honest, and beautifully personal books, which have guided, instructed, edified, and shaped Christians as they seek to live out a just and loving faith. At the time of her tragic death in 2019, Rachel was working on a new book about wholeheartedness. With the help of her close friend and author Jeff Chu, that work-in-progress has been woven together with some of her other unpublished writings into a rich collection of essays that ask candid questions about the stories we’ve been told—and the stories we tell—about our faith, our selves, and our world. This book is for the doubter and the dreamer, the seeker and the sojourner, those who long for a sense of spiritual wholeness as well as those who have been hurt by the Church but can’t seem to let go of the story of Jesus. Through theological reflection and personal recollection, Rachel wrestles with God’s grace and love, looks unsparingly at what the Church is and does, and explores universal human questions about becoming and belonging. An unforgettable, moving, and intimate book.

Download or read book Inspirational Explosion from Deep Within written by Leroy Hubbert and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-07-22 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A question was asked in my dream sometime in January 2014, but blessings of his word that I might share it came in the morning hours that led up to making new changes once again. Amen! As one hand reaches out to close the doors of inequity and despair, the other hand (right hand) of fellowship is extended to grasp a sincere understanding of joy, knowing the desires of your dreams are at hand. As I looked at life and sat in counsel, breathing new levels of hope and deliverance, I found joy in the works that were allotted in this gift of writing. My hopes and dreams is that this book would reach out to touch the lives of many with the understanding that if you give up on your dreams, restoration is not an option leading to a more profitable journey. I have lived every aspect of the words that I write, whether it was on a personal level or vicariously through the struggle of others. This is meant to bring hope to a wide audience and not just focus on one group. My message is one that is simple but of epic proportions when I speak love and encouragement. First learn to love yourself before you can share that love with others. Never settle in contentment when there are other aspirations to bring joy, understanding you are not in this struggle alone.

Now think of that same crowd surrounding Him as He was walking through the streets of Jerusalem with a cross on His back. The woman with the issue of blood was in the crowd seeking a miracle, all her hope now was centered on touching the hem of His garment. She had overcome the crowd of doubt, worry, fear, anxiety and questions. She pressed through her faith and allowed her faith to become her testimony. The crowd that surrounded Jesus while he was carrying the cross were accusers, persecutors, unbelievers, scorners and many more yet He pushed through. Jesus our pathfinder has cleared the way and has supplied us with the tools of faith and prayer to help us tunnel through our most difficult situations. So remember to PUSH THROUGH THE CROWD!!!!!!!!!!!
