Book excerpt: "I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly." JOHN 10:10 This verse prompted a revolution in my spiritual life. After being a Christian for several years, I was confronted with the truth about my spiritual life. While meditating on that verse, I realized my life was not spiritually abundant at all. What followed was a deliberate pursuit of the abundant life that Jesus promised His followers. My story is similar to many other Christians', who know what the Bible says about their God, but have a hard time applying His Truth to their lives. I realized that there were habits, attitudes and people in my life that were preventing me from fulfilling my full potential. These issues needed to be addressed if I were to achieve fulfillment in life. Twelve Inches is the actual distance between one's brain and one's heart. The book is designed as a practical blueprint to an abundant life, written by someone who many will relate to. It is a Biblical, tested and proven blueprint to an abundant life in Christ. It does not merely expose problems without helping the reader find solutions. It is a step-by-step, Scripture-inspired plan for anyone who wants to live out the promises that God has laid down in His Word, regardless of life's circumstances or personal limitations. The ultimate objective of this book is to take the reader from a life of little consequence for God's kingdom to one that shines brightly for Jesus in action, faith and testimony. -- Patricia Holbrook

Book excerpt: What happens when you die? How does one transcend mankind to heavenly being, the known to the eternal mystery? One spring day in 1971, Calvin Cassady, a southwest Missouri teenager, was a victim in an unexplained automobile accident on a curvy Ozark mountain roadway. The impact caused the car that Calvin was a passenger in to burst into flames, plunging him into a clouded existence that included a walk through the valley of the shadow of death, leaving him on the threshold of eternal life. Eternity surrounded him and filled him with an absolute certainty of heaven. Standing before the Master and all his creation Calvin became troubled with the vision of his judgment and the life that he brought with him. Consumed with feelings of emptiness, he needed fulfillment. Bridging the Gap is the story of that miraculous event and the life of fulfillment that followed. Experience that fulfillment through Calvins spouse, his children, his students, his friends, and through the lives of total strangers as they became players in the great spiritual adventures of his life. Observe as the Holy Spirit guides Calvin through natural disasters and serious health issues, and feel the love as he takes into the mission field. Bridging the Gap celebrates the ordinary and illustrates the extraordinary results that occur during a lifetime lived for Christ. While you continue your spiritual journey, remember that faith, hope, and love conquer all. May your journey be fruitful, and may Gods peace be with you.

Download or read book Beyond the Divide written by Alan Weatherly and published by . This book was released on 2020-05-16 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beyond the Divide is an attempt to bridge the seeming chasm that exists between religion (specifically Christianity) and science. Much polarization and animosity often exists between two groups, that which is pro-science/anti-religion, and the other which is pro-religion/anti-21st century scientific theories and discoveries. Even though the pathways to discovering truths may be different in science and religion, there need not be irreconcilable differences. Within these pages, personal stories and research are woven together to provide evidence for how embracing modern scientific discoveries can actually remove barriers that may exist for those who would like to believe in God but find such evidence untenable. This book centers on the belief that Jesus Christ is a person for all the ages, something that is no less true in our post-modern world. In fact, the more we discover about Jesus, the more we can conclude that Jesus would in no way pit himself against scientific progress. What if we could even believe that through God's Spirit, we are given the wisdom which enables us to make progress in our many discoveries about our remarkable universe? Step inside this liberating experience as we explore this mysterious world together!

Book excerpt: In today's world, many characteristics of professions and professionalism are defined by science and technological practices that are considered to be value neutral. The faith and moral positions of professionals are usually regarded as matters of personal opinion that should stay out of their professional activity. In this situation, one of the greatest challenges for Christian institutions of higher education is to know how to implement new models of learning for becoming professionals, while at the same time, maintaining one's Christian identity. This collection of essays provides ideas on how to bridge the gap between professional performance and Christian faith with special attention given to worldview, spiritual and moral formation, and youth concerns. The contributors provide examples from church ministry, health care, social work, journalism, business, and education. This book places matters of vocation and pre-professional education on the agenda of Christian educators as well as professionals involved in higher education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can I work for an energy company and still be a Christian? This question from a young professional working in the author’s London trading department sparked a journey that resulted in this book. Trading With God addresses the relevancy of the Christian faith in today’s workplace. Recognizing that Christianity is a 24/7 endeavor, this book provides the framework and tools for the reader to make the critical connection between your actual daily work activities and what God created you to do. This enables Christians to find the most meaning in their jobs and journey of faith. Trading With God delivers in three parts. First, it grounds readers with history, scriptural references, and summarized concepts of faithful work developed over time by various church theologians. Second, a practical threefold model for Christians is introduced for daily application throughout their working lives. And third, the book builds seven steps to apply this model, which are illustrated by personal stories based upon the author’s thirty-four years of professional workplace experiences and theological research. Integrating faith and work using these seven steps can infuse more meaning into any vocation and can transform all workers, as well as the workplace and the wider community.

Download or read book The Art of Rest written by Adam Mabry and published by The Good Book Company. This book was released on 2018-05-08 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover the secret to real, realistic, non-rules-based rest For some of us, resting seems like a waste of time-it means we're missing out on other things. For others, rest seems like a luxury-there's simply too much to do. And for almost all of us, we crave rest, but don't always know how to. This warm, realistic, humorous book shows us the huge spiritual, emotional and physical rewards of rest. It shows us how rest gives us time to spend with God and remember his grace. Discover how rest fuels our joy and confidence in God's sovereignty as we learn to depend on him, and not our own efforts, and are refreshed by the power of the Holy Spirit. Adam Mabry shows us how rest helps us make space for relationships, shared experiences and moments to remember; how it liberates us from the pressure of self-reliance; how it gives us a chance to think and reflect; and how it stops us from burning out. Finally, this book casts a realistic vision for rest that is less rule and more rhythm-less onerous restriction and more liberating art form. Adam Mabry helps us to learn the 'art of rest' with some practical suggestions. The world never stops. But we need to. And as Christians we can by having faith to hit pause and experience the rich rewards of God-given rest.

Download or read book Faith and Physics written by Joseph Callender and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-07-10 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Light is the key to the deepest of mysteries, and the bridge that connects science and spirituality. When Christian faith is understood in terms of the scientific properties and behaviors of light, not only do perceived conflicts between science and spirituality disappear, but there exists a synergy between them that supports and enriches both. The key to understanding our place and purpose in the universe is the property of light known in physics as the "complementarity principle," in which light exists as waves until it is observed by humans, upon which it instantly manifests as physical reality. This dual nature of light defines dual realities - the spiritual and physical realities. Visionaries and prophets throughout history and from widely diverse backgrounds, as well as many individuals who have had so-called near death experiences, have consistently reported experiencing God as Light - Light that is qualitatively and quantitatively different from the light we ordinarily see. Furthermore, the "tunnel" often seen in the near death experience is the same phenomenon as the so-called "spiritual eye" or "gate of heaven" of the visionary experience. It's a phenomenon that was predicted by Einstein's theories 100 years ago. In addition, re-examining the biblical creation story in terms of the Light of Christ and the complementarity principle, it becomes clear that the "fall" of man from the presence of God was a quantum event in which his conscious awareness switched from God to the physical world. It also becomes clear that the first chapter of Genesis is about the creation of the universe, not about our planet. The apparent anachronisms in the Genesis story then disappear, details of the physical creation as distinct from the spiritual come into sharper focus, and the creation story is seen to be in complete harmony with modern science.
