At the ages of 6 and 9 I am very happy to plant such beautiful seeds in their minds that they can nurture as they experience life. Banafsheh's words resonate deep within. I am aware that ultimately all is well in the world and that it is up to me to create the life I choose. I can actually choose joy and bliss and this book is a beautiful reminder of the power inside us all."" Adina Klima Sometimes, the prose is inspired by the photos, while at other times the prose inspires the photos. There is a dance of sorts between the two. I hope you enjoy these captured moments and allow them to transport you to another time and place, while remaining grounded in the here and now. I am not a professional photographer. I only used the pure and natural light of the moment and the object of the image before me. Each photo in this book was captured on my handheld phone. All photographs were produced and are owned by

Download or read book God s People Count written by Carl Barrett and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2023-10-17 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are undoubtedly living in a society and culture that is growing stranger by the day—creating more distance between others, minute by minute. It seems that people are living in their own little bubbles and silos more than ever—with no interest in connecting with people effectively. And it is evident that the rise of the digital age is affecting people mentally and emotionally, leading to voidness and isolation and a sense of hopelessness and helplessness. Billions of people are connecting with an unproductive device in their hands when it should be the word of God! There is no spiritual value when we allow the things of this world to consume our lives more than God’s divine nature. Do we really think anything will improve in our homes, communities, churches, schools, country, and globally if we’re not grounded and connected in the Truths of his word? We must realize that connecting with humans physically, emotionally, and spiritually is how God designed us. Just like our Creator wants a relationship with you and me, he wants us to bond with others so they can also see the experience of his abundant blessings and goodness in our lives. We cannot afford to be on the sidelines because it’s all about cultivating genuine care for God’s creation and putting it into practice for the sake of ourselves and others, now more than ever.
