In our publication of Welcome Home, her son Jeff Berlin is filling in the gaps with photos and letters from her eventful, romantic, and tragic life. From Alaska to Argentina, Kentucky to Mexico, New York City to Chile, Berlin’s world was wide. And the writing here is, as we’ve come to expect, dazzling. She describes the places she lived and the people she knew with all the style and wit and heart and humor that readers fell in love with in her stories. Combined with letters from and photos of friends and lovers, Welcome Home is an essential nonfiction companion to A Manual for Cleaning Women and Evening in Paradise.

Book excerpt: Surrendering your life to Jesus Christ and living a biblical Christian life is the most important and fundamental decision one can make in their life. Depending on when, how and through whom it happened, it can also be the most confusing time if one is not discipled. Important questions such as: am I truly forgiven, what does it mean to be a son/daughter of God, what does it mean to be clothed in a robe of righteousness? And most importantly; once saved always saved? May be left unanswered for a long time. Brother Gery Malanda (Apostle and Leader of House Of Prayer For All Nations-Europe and teacher on TBN Voice of Healing UK) takes an extensive look through the scriptures and in his simplistic style, answers the questions we all ask. Through the parable of the prodigal son, Brother Gery exposes the heart of our Father, the role of Jesus and the Holy Spirit in our walk of salvation. Using scripture, Brother Gery expounds on what God expects from us and most importantly, what we can expect from God. New in your relationship with Jesus Christ? Have you been a Christian for a long time? This book will be helpful in understanding what is your responsibility in this challenging yet amazing, fulfilling and awe inspiring walk with God.

Download or read book Welcome Home Mama and Boris written by Carey Neesley and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2013-08-29 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing up in the well-heeled Detroit suburb of Grosse Pointe, Michigan, Carey Neesley always thought she and her younger brother, Peter, would never be separated. The children of divorced parents and outcasts in their neighborhood, Carey and Peter supported, loved, and encouraged each other when it seemed no one else cared. It was a bond that grew through the years, and one that made Peter’s eventual decision to enlist in the Army all the more difficult for Carey. With Peter having stepped up to help her raise her young son, Carey was closer than ever to her brother, and the thought of him serving far from home was painful. While stationed in Iraq, Peter befriended a stray dog and her four puppies, only to watch three of the young pups die in the warzone. With only two surviving dogs—Mama and Boris—Peter became determined to save the strays. Carey helped her brother with his mission, but everything changed on Christmas Day in 2007 when word arrived at the Neesley household that Peter had been killed. Amidst the grief of coming to terms with her brother’s death and the turmoil of trying to plan his funeral, Carey devoted herself to bringing Peter’s dogs home to the U.S. It was the final honor she could pay to her brother and a way of keeping a piece of him with her. With the help of an unlikely network of heroes, including an animal rescue organization in Utah, a civilian airline, an Iraqi family, and a private security contractor with military connections, Mama and Boris mad the journey form the streets of Baghdad to Carey’s suburban house. Carey’s mission garnered widespread attention and requests from other soldiers for help in bringing home dogs they had become attached to on deployment, and she continues to work with organizations dedicated to bringing home wartime strays.

Download or read book The Collected Sermons of David Bartlett written by David L. Bartlett and published by Westminster John Knox Press. This book was released on 2020-01-21 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of fifty-two sermons shows beloved New Testament scholar David Bartlett at his best. Bartlett, who died in 2017, spent his career teaching and mentoring preachers at The University of Chicago Divinity School, Yale Divinity School, Union Presbyterian Seminary, and Columbia Theological Seminary, as well as serving as a pastor in American Baptist churches. Thus, he has generations of friends and former students who knew him for his quick wit, passion for justice, and deep knowledge of the Bible. Those traits show through in these sermons. As Nora Tisdale says in the foreword: All of the sermons in this volume give witness to Davids passion for preaching that is solidly grounded in the biblical text. Most of them actually begin, as Karl Barth urged preachers to begin, with the biblical text. If they dont begin there, they always get there fairly quickly. And Davids interpretations of texts often surprise the reader with their freshness and clarity. In addition to individual sermons, several multiweek sermon series, including a series on Who Is Jesus? and Great Words of the Faith, are included.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Abraham, take your son whom you love so much and sacrifice him as a burnt offering to Me on one of the mountains in Moriah.” Ever wondered what was going on in Abraham’s mind when God asks that of him? In this second instalment of ‘The Father’s love series,’ the veil between the mortal and the immortal world is further lowered for the reader to see first-hand the workings behind the scenes. From the perspective of an omniscient narrator, we follow the later adventures of Father Abraham and his son Isaac all the way to the early introductions of his grandsons—Esau and Jacob— and all the drama, lies, passion, betrayal, and fun in-between. Action-packed with colourful depictions of angelic activity of the kingdoms of Light and Darkness, ‘Volume 2 - February’ whisks the reader away on a fantastical rollercoaster ride through the eternal chess matches between angels and fallen angels; demons and heavenly beasts; hybrids and humans; the Dark Lord and the Great-Father-of-Spirits. With bated breath, we cheer, boo, weep, sigh and shout in triumph as we watch these characters race against time to destroy or secure humanity’s salvation plan.

Download or read book So You Failed Your Brother Hates You written by John J. Howarton and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2009-07 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This message is for those who have suffered through some disappointing and disastrous moral failure, for those who are presently struggling through a hopeless, losing situation. Also, this book is for those who love someone who is suffering through the horrible aftermath of failure and who desperately seek a way to bring that dear one back to a place of hope, where they'll desire to "live" again. There is real pain and real consequences of failure that must be faced and conquered, but for some, there is sometimes no motivation to try. Giving up is so much easier. My book addresses the main characters involved in a failing crisis: the person who falls, the person(s) who receive injury or offense from that person's fall, and the folks who desire to help the failing person, but who do not know how. This book is ideal for pastors, counselors, concerned family, and...failures. If you failed, I won't promise you "success" over failure, but, rather, I would like to help you simply believe in a new beginning for yourself. Let me share God's desire and plan to restore you to a place where you truly desire to begin again. John Howarton is an ordained Christian minister who is an elder and teacher in his local church and teaches in a Christian high school. John is married and has three adult children. Before he suffered his "failure" in mid-life, John was a missionary for thirteen-years behind the Iron Curtain. After making a comeback from the depths of defeat and despair, he returned to studies and received a BA degree in history and English (with a minor degree in Russian).
