Download or read book He Speaks in the Silence written by Diane Comer and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2016-01-05 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He Speaks in the Silence is about Diane Comer’s search for the kind of intimacy with God every woman longs for. It is a story of trying to be a good girl, of following the rules, of longing for a satisfaction that eludes us. Disappointed with all Diane had been told was supposed to fulfill her, she begged God in desperation to give her more. And He did. But first He took her through a trial so debilitating it almost destroyed what little faith she had. He let her go deaf. Using vivid parallels between her deafness and every woman’s struggle to hear God, this book shows women not only how Diane, as a deaf woman, hears in everyday life, but also how she can learn to listen to God in the midst of her own loud life, finding intimacy with God and the deep soul satisfaction she longs for.

Download or read book Semi Serious written by Charlotte Stone and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2012-11 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Semi Serious invites you along for the ride as the author recounts the sudden change in direction that her life took, from teaching middle school to getting behind the wheel of an eighteen-wheeler. She opens up about the initial decision, training, and challenging rookie year in the first few chapters and incorporates Bible verses and some of her personal poems throughout. After gaining experience and a certain level of comfort, more attention could be paid to the freedom and adventure of the open road, the sights of nature, and encounters with people she would otherwise never have met. As the pages keep turning, the journey evolves from highway miles to a spiritual journey that may surprise you as much as it did the author. While not included in the list of employee benefits, the solitude and vast time for reflection and connection with God prove to be one of the best perks of trucking. Semi Serious seems like a unique experience, but perhaps not. Setting aside the specifics, the courage to “Step out in faith” has guided countless people to act on God’s inspiration and find priceless rewards. Semi Serious is for those at every stage of their own spiritual journey, since there are as many different roads to faith as there are people in this world. “Semi Serious is one woman’s journey of stepping outside of the box while climbing into the cab of a big rig and always holding the hand of God. Thought provoking and insightful, this compilation of stories and poems is for anyone contemplating a new route in their faith journey. With humor and an attention to detail, Char Stone candidly shares God’s guidance in her life as she travels, literally, the highways of life!” —Jean S. Graff, MS, NCC, LCPC
