Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mankind is “the symbol-using animal,” American philosopher Charles Peirce famously wrote. It’s vital—literally—that we grasp our relation to symbols. God himself thinks in symbols. Since we are made in God’s image, everything we think and do is symbolic as well. Moses failed to follow God’s symbolism and was harshly punished, forbidden to enter the Promised Land. Keeping or breaking symbolism will decide how each of us fares on Judgment Day. Understand symbolism, or suffer the consequences.

Download or read book Because His Heart Was Strong written by Chelsey L. Owens and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2018-12-10 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “That was the moment, the turning point. That was the moment I fully understood the depth of Daddy’s love for me. Similar to the love of Christ, I knew his lack of consciousness—or even more realistically, the hostility of death’s doorstep—could not interfere with my father’s matchless love for his only daughter. While Christ’s suffering made me realize His love for me, my daddy’s suffering made me realize my love for him.” Losing a parent is never easy. Losing a good parent is even crueler. But losing an admirable parent comparable to Christ, it’s an extremely bitter truth to accept. Written from the viewpoint of an undeniable Daddy’s girl, Because His Heart was Strong entwines the captivating journey of Rick Owens’ final decade of life through her own story, including the remarkable courage he demonstrated amidst prolonged suffering and the sheer legacy he imparted in death, highlighting the faith he placed in his Savior through it all.
