Book excerpt: Written by a pastor and father who has walked a painful road, Hope When Life Unravels explores the encouraging, upside-down truths of the book of Job, and other key Bible passages, to remind us of the ways God is present in our pain. Why does God allow suffering? And why does God seem to go silent when we're in pain? In Hope When Life Unravels, Dr. Adam Dooley, pastor and host of the daily radio broadcast A Better Way, searches for answers to our biggest questions about suffering as he shares his son Carson's story of battling leukemia. Adam speaks openly about the gut-wrenching struggle his family endured for three years of life-threatening illness and how God met them in their hours of need--even when it wasn't in the ways they wanted. And, along with his own story, Adam takes readers through the story of Job, unpacking insights about God's character, his love, and how we can stay connected to him even during seasons of pain. Both inspiring and comforting, Hope When Life Unravels invites us to draw closer to a God who is often active in our lives in times when we have trouble seeing him the most.

Download or read book You Are the Key written by Caitlin Crosby and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2020-05-12 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For anyone who feels less-than about your work, your worth, your body, or the life you're building, find here an incredible hope: you don't have to have it all together to "qualify" for your life's calling. Just ask Caitlin Crosby, the former Hollywood talent who didn't finish college, never got an MBA, and wasn't supposed to become a CEO--yet that's exactly what she did. Caitlin's passion for people led her to launch The Giving Keys, a give-back jewelry brand with the mission of helping its employees transition out of homelessness. Each of their one million keys sold represents a person who wore it and shared it with someone else, in a unique pay-it-forward model. In You Are the Key, Caitlin opens up about her own secret "flaw" that rocked her sense of self-worth for the better part of two decades and her private battle to believe that our scars are not sources of shame but proof of courage and prompts toward purpose. Through Caitlin's all-too-real stories, sparkling with warmth and humor, you'll find the encouragement you need to: Be brave enough to let yourself fail Reframe your imperfections as signposts guiding you toward your greatest purpose Move forward from past mistakes and build something beautiful As you learn more about Caitlin and her journey, you'll learn that your own path to discovering and developing your purpose won't be a straight line. You'll fall down, and you'll get back up again. But Caitlin's story will remind you that your own imperfections can lead to your greatest purpose--and it all starts today. Praise for You Are the Key: "I've admired Caitlin's generosity and her work with The Giving Keys for years. I'm grateful to know her story. It's a reminder to never allow fear or setbacks to keep us from stepping out into the unknown. Caitlin has shown us that it's often in quiet moments of courage that we discover the things we're passionate about and realize more of who we're meant to be." --Joanna Gaines, cofounder of Magnolia "Caitlin's work in bringing purpose back to the lives of so many speaks for itself. With her as your guide, you will unlock purpose, confidence, and joy beyond what you could ever imagine." --Sarah Jakes Roberts, pastor, bestselling author, and founder of Woman Evolve "Equal parts powerful and personable, You Are the Key tells the story of what is possible when you follow big dreams with big heart." --Maria Shriver, journalist and New York Times bestselling author

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Run, run, run... Run away. That's what Faith Strauss has done for twenty years. She was destroyed by one tragic event.

How can she trust Him ever again? Run, run, run... She's not good enough. Never has been. Never will be. She could lose it all again, if she's not careful. She married, had children, and carved out a life for herself. But Fear is her ever-present companion, always reminding her never to reach too far, or too high. Run, run, run... God has another plan. A plan that she never saw, even though she has walked it her entire life. Will the unexpected exposure of her secret and the truth behind it restore her or destroy her all over again? It's time to stop running.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his popular series of books "From the Back Side," J. Ellsworth Kalas looks at Christian topics through a new lens, takes unique starting points on those subjects, and uses creative re-telling from different points of view. In Faith from the Back Side, Kalas explores something that is central in a Christian life but often difficult to understand. "We exercise faith every day, in hundreds of secular moments, then struggle to find it in its purest form when we need God’s help the most. The back side, indeed! Sometimes it’s the only side of faith we can seem to approach. Yet faith is nearer than our hands or feet, and more real than the air we breathe. It’s time we learned more about it." (J. Ellsworth Kalas, adapted from the foreword) A discussion guide is included for small-group use.

Book excerpt: “Leah Darrow uses her experience in the beauty industry to help the women of our culture see what true beauty looks like.” —Jennifer Fulwiler, host of The Jennifer Fulwiler Show and author of Something Other than God Do you feel like you’re never good enough? Like you should be living a more Instagram-worthy life? Are you exhausted by the impossible quest for physical beauty but still yearn for the validation of being chosen, valued, and deemed beautiful? Drawing on her experience on America’s Next Top Model and her work as a fashion model, Leah Darrow exposes the lies we are told about our worth being tied to our appearance and instead invites us to look again at the real meaning of beauty. She shows how we can reclaim true and lasting beauty—the kind that doesn’t depend on self-doubt, exploitation, or comparison—when we reflect God’s glory and embrace our value as he made us to be: strong, brave, and free. Only when we learn to see ourselves as God does can we leave behind our culture’s definitions and demands and find joy in The Other Side of Beauty.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our virtues play a very important role in our lives. They fill us with passion and bring meaning to our very existence. So often it seems we take them for granted and fail to recognize their true potential. Despite our neutrality toward them, they remain constant and pure, just waiting to express themselves through our actions. It is so easy for us to get caught up in our own realities and become blind to their calling. Blind to the basic truth that there is a beautiful simplicity and infinite energy that surrounds every human life, including our own. Recognizing and relating to this simplicity and energy is the basis for essentially all of our relationships. Of all the virtues we are capable of, there are three that stand out above them all--faith, hope, and love. In this nutshell, we will take a look at these virtues and their significance in our lives. We will look at love as it pertains to our relationship, both with ourselves and with others. We will look at hope as it pertains to our relationship with the world around us. Lastly, we will take a look at faith and how it pertains to our relationship with our God. In this nutshell, we will challenge ourselves to reclaim our virtues and live a life of purpose.
