Download or read book ORDINARY MAN EXTRAORDINARY GOD written by Gordy Carlson and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-01-31 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible is a book unlike any other book ever written. God used different men, over a period of time, to record His thoughts and words to mankind. In essence, the men were the pen (or quill) in the hand of God. Each of our lives is also a book to be read by others. Some books have more chapters. Some have longer chapters. Some have more colorful chapters. With some, the ending is too abrupt. Ordinary Man/Extraordinary God is my attempt to be a pen in the hand of God. It is my attempt to brag about God by recalling His involvement in my life. I hope it inspires you to reflect and look for moments where you can brag about Him too.

Download or read book An Ordinary Man An Extraordinary God written by Dr. Ernest S. Martin and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-08-02 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After retiring as a veterinarian, the author had much more time to spend with others, so he related stories of many of the experiences in his life. He was asked by family, friends, and others with whom he had shared if he had recorded these stories. Ernest never wanted to write his life story, but God revealed to him that he should record his experiences and title the book An Ordinary Man, An Extraordinary God. His procrastination to write ended when he had a back fusion with two rods and ten screws which required him to lay on a bone stimulator for four hours a day for six months; and during that time, he was not able to do any physical work. The book would show how God could take a country boy raised on a farm and use him to bring glory to God. Explaining how God used him could encourage others who also thought they were "nobodies" to realize that God could use any person that believed in God and spent time in His Word to walk in the Spirit and be led by the Spirit. The book begins just before Ernest received Jesus as his Lord and Savior and continues showing how, through His Word, the author received the baptism of the Holy Spirit, learned to walk in the Spirit, witnessed about God to others, prayed the prayer of faith for healing, cast out demons, and did other works of God. His walk with God and how he grew in faith is shared chronologically in the book. Now he could understand the groaning of the spirit within a Christian for the day of redemption when he would enter God's presence and be with Jesus for eternity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All throughout the Bible, God used ordinary people to do extraordinary things that changed the lives of countless people. This is the story of how God used an ordinary man and helped him to overcome astronomical odds through His mercy and grace. Although this story does not appear in the Bible, it appears in real life, my life, and that I have lived to tell this story is a miracle in itself. Being rescued from a fire and taken down the hook and ladder by some brave firemen, to surviving having a sawed off shot gun stuck to the back of my head and escaping a kidnapping attempt, my life could not have been anymore dramatic. Yet at every turn God was there to save me even from a life crippling drug addiction. God had a plan and a purpose and I have lived to tell this incredible story of survival and being an overcomer all by the grace of God.

Download or read book The Life of an Ordinary Man in the Hands of an Extraordinary God written by John Gowan and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-12-14 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever felt ordinary? Do you feel as if your life doesn’t really count for much? Are you feeling defeated because of past or current failures? Are you wondering if there even is a God who cares about you and has a plan and a purpose for your life? Life can be very discouraging at times, and it is easy to slip into an attitude of despair and defeat. Looking back over the course of his life, author John Gowan came to realize that God did have a plan for his life greater than anything he could have imagined as a child, as a teenager, or as a young adult. Most of us have seasons of life that make it seem as if we are going nowhere. It wasn’t until he was in his early forties that John even came to have faith in Christ. But that faith has made all the difference in his life and the choices that followed. In this book, John not only chronicles his faith journey from childhood to adulthood but also shares insights on such topics as the end times and what kind of legacy we should want to leave. He will challenge you to think outside the box in his chapter “Things to Ponder.” Many today feel that we are living in very distressing times when not only our individual lives but life in general seems very uncertain. It is times like these that make seeking to grow your faith in a loving God even more important. What was true for the author is also true for you as you seek to know the one who created you and loves you so much that He sent His only Son to die for you.
Download or read book Billy Graham written by Lon Allison and published by Paraclete Press. This book was released on 2018-04-04 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the world celebrates the life of Billy Graham, Lon Allison shares the story of the man and his message of Jesus Christ with a whole new generation. “My prayer is that this book will be read by a generation that has never heard of Billy Graham.... I also write for those who are broadly attached to the Christian faith, and for those who have had only a small or short brush with faith in their lives. Billy impacted everyone from Catholics and Lutherans to Bible Church Evangelicals and Assembly of God Charismatics. As I hope you will hear clearly in what follows, he touched people like me with very little religious background. He was the ‘Pastor to Presidents’ and a spiritual guide to celebrities. But more than everything else, he was a friend of Jesus and passionately devoted to telling Jesus’s story to everyone he possibly could in all the world.” —Lon Allison, from the introduction Billy Graham said, “You have no idea how sick I get of the name Billy Graham, and how wonderful and thrilling the name Christ sounds to my ears.” So, then, why another book about him? Lon Allison, an evangelist himself, and popular evangelical pastor in Wheaton, Illinois, has learned much from Billy. Allison retells the highlights of what has been, by any objective account, a fascinating life, and tells it is a way that resonates with the Graham legacy of serving God and seeking to spread the Good News. Every stage of Graham’s life is included, even the rough spots, with appreciation and a desire to answer the question: What can we learn from the life and ministry of Billy Graham? What is his legacy? What was his message and how might it still be relevant for today.

Book excerpt: “What is happening to my life?” Have you ever honestly asked yourself that question? As young boys, we dreamed of being pilots, firefighters, doctors, and cowboys. Now we’re older, with a wonderful wife and kids, as well as a mortgage, a minivan, and a fulfilling but not-so-glamorous job. What happened? All the dreams that once inspired us have evaporated into traffic jams, computer screens, bills, and deadlines. Why is life so ordinary? If you think your life is nothing special, take a look at it through God’s eyes. The revealing truth is that God chooses “ordinary,” faithful men to do His most important work—regular guys like Peter the fisherman, David the shepherd, Stephen the waiter, Gideon the farmer, Paul the tentmaker, and even Jesus the carpenter. In this engaging book, Troy Meeder blends stories about biblical characters and contemporary men to show that an “average-Joe” life, an “ordinary” existence, shapes a man’s integrity, moral stability, resolve, and strength. The world desperately needs an army of “average Joes.” Like you. “Troy Meeder’s heart-felt accounts from both his own personal experience and those of friends and family touch a raw nerve in your soul…. Average Joe reminds us that living a life focused on faith, family, and friends is what makes a man exceptional.” —Rick Wiggers, average Joe and account manager Includes a study guide for use by men’s groups.
