Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who doesnt like a good storm? The sound of thunder in the distance or waves crashing against the rocks. Having been born and raised in Western New York all of my life, I have seen some of the most fierce winter storms on record. The Blizzard of 77 truly is the benchmark for those who lived through it. Along with that just mention the phrase Lake Effect joined with the unimaginable 4-6 inches of snow per hour it produces and you then get a good idea of what I mean. However the storm I was about to enter into had nothing to do with weather, but rather with my very existence itself! Darrens testimony of Gods goodness in the midst of the Storm of Cancer is inspiring. Like me, I hope and pray that you are blessed by this book. Dr. Kunle Odunsi.

Download or read book Serenity in the Storm written by Kayleigh McEnany and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2023-05-02 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Wall Street Journal Bestseller As seen on Life, Liberty & Levin and Gutfeld! As heard on the Dan Bongino Show Kayleigh McEnany brings to life the key cultural and political issues of our time, from the fall of Afghanistan to the Supreme Court’s abortion decision, analyzing world events through the lens of faith and providing readers with Serenity in the Storm. Our world, without question, is experiencing aberrational times. The ravages and life-altering realities of COVID-19 that I worked through as White House press secretary were just the start of it. What followed was a series of history-defining events. From the fall of Afghanistan to the nationwide crime wave, we’ve all endured painful images of death, destruction, and chaos. Meanwhile, radical teachings on gender and race have infiltrated our nation’s schools, poisoning the minds of our children—all at a time when our country feels more divided than ever before. Along with these twenty-first century realities can come a feeling of despair and discouragement. Indeed, I hear it all the time as I crisscross the country: Americans feel disheartened and seek hope. Serenity in the Storm provides that hope. Despite the challenges we face, there is cause for great optimism for men and women of faith. In Afghanistan, the underground church is thriving. On the key issues of life and liberty, the Supreme Court of the United States has delivered enormous and consequential victories. In our schools, voters have spoken unmistakably against the insidious doctrines of critical race and gender theory. There is no doubt that God is at work as He hears the prayers of the faithful! Taking a similar format to my New York Times bestselling book, For Such a Time as This, I analyze our domestic and international challenges through the lens of faith. Though we have lived through dark times and unsettled waters, the storms we face have prompted many great leaders to rise to the moment and have left a yearning in the human heart for a Savior, Jesus Christ, who is walking alongside us every step of the way.

Download or read book War Nation and Europe in the Novels of Storm Jameson written by Katherine Cooper and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-04-16 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The novels of Storm Jameson and their depictions of Britain's relationship to Europe around the Second World War represent a crucial departure from the work of her contemporaries. As the first female President of English PEN, Jameson led her country's wartime literary community through turbulent times in history by focusing on European – rather than pointedly British – experiences of war. War, Nation and Europe in the Novels of Storm Jameson is a timely critique situated within the historical and theoretical contexts so fundamental to understanding her work. Presenting previously unpublished archival material that documents her work as an ambassador for British writers during a time of national upheaval, Katherine Cooper reveals how the novelist's pacifism and evolving attitudes to war and peace were underpinned by her overarching vision for the post-war world. Drawing comparisons to the works of Virginia Woolf, Arthur Koestler, Graham Greene and others, this study shows how Jameson's novels gesture towards prevalent internationalist perspectives and reshapes how we view the literary history of the period.

Book excerpt: Laura was alone when she received the news: She had metastatic vulvar cancer. Having worked in the medical field for more than ten years, she knew the word metastatic was not good. The scariest part about the diagnosis, however, was going to be telling her children. Before Laura did that, she called her boyfriend, Lyle. Then, she texted each of her children and told them she needed to talk to them at home. All she could think about was what she was going to say, and how she was going to say it. How could she share this news without it crushing their spirits? Cancer also tested Lauras faith in the Lord, and she found herself wondering, How can He keep allowing things like this to happen in my life? What am I doing wrong? To answer that question, she read and reread the book of Job. He didnt question God when he was in the midst of losing everything. It was in that moment that a peace washed over her, and she was ashamed to even entertain the question of Why? Join Laura as she battles a life-changing diagnosis and learns how to confront it with a positive outlook and thankful heart for all of Gods blessings in Surviving the Storm. Laura L. Torres reveals how her faith helped her navigate challenges and obstacles after being diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. She currently resides in Wisconsin with her very large and loving family.

Download or read book When God Cancer Meet written by Lynn Eib and published by Tyndale House Publishers, Inc.. This book was released on 2002 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A book of powerful stories about cancer patients and their families who have been touched by God in miraculous ways—some in their bodies, others in their minds, all in their spirits—offers inspiring testimony that, when God and cancer meet, cancer is conquered. The author, herself a cancer survivor, gives us a behind-the-scenes glimpse of 18 personal encounters with God. Here's what others are saying about When God & Cancer Meet: “Lynn has captured the essence of hope in this book; captured hope in ways that I have always taught in my professional world as well as in my spiritual community. This book is a treasure to those who struggle with the fears of cancer and I want to keep it close at hand for those reasons.” —Judy Lentz, RN, MSN, OCN, NHA Executive Director, Hospice and Palliative Nurses Association “I co-lead a cancer support group at my church, and we have been looking for “just the right book” to study and discuss. Guess what?! Lyn wrote it! I was truly touched by all the stories; of course being a cancer-survivor myself, I saw myself in one of the stories, as if Lyn were writing my own personal story. I was truly impressed with the way she incorporated scripture, and God's viewpoint into every story. I think that is of utmost importance for anyone facing this disease. Lyn's book is “Real-Life”; some quickly are healed of the cancer, some deal with it over a prolonged period, some deal with recurrences, some, mercifully, die rather quickly. I share Lyn's belief that GOD sometimes chooses to heal in different ways: physically, emotionally and spiritually. In the process of surviving a primary brain tumor, surgery, Chemo, and radiation, I gave my life to Christ, realizing that my physical health was not GOD's main concern, my Spiritual health was the biggest victim of a disease that needed attention and this was the way He FINALLY got my attention. Lyn's book alludes to this fact in every one of her stories. In this day and age that we are living, where it is against the rules to even mention GOD ( unless we mention His name in vain) it is refreshing to have a book written, praising Him for His care and concern for us; written by a woman who has experienced the disease firsthand, and continues to minister to others with cancer, and to work for a Doctor! who isn't ashamed of his Faith ! WOW!! Obviously, Lyn's book has my highest reccomendation, and my support group will be purchasing multple copies, and we plan to invite Lyn to speak with us. Lyn is a wonderful person, and I thank God for allowing our paths to cross. I'm sure this book will touch many lives,and give many a new perspective and hope with their cancer.” —Chris Winand, cancer survivor
