Book excerpt: Storms are a part of life. The good news is that we have a choice in what we believe about ourselves and who we are going to believe in. In an inspiring memoir shared in journal format, Trisha Caldwell chronicles her personal journey through aggressive bone cancer as she relied on her faith, inner-strength, and gratitude practices to battle the storm. In her own words: “Five years later I can still taste it. The atmosphere, the days in the hospital, the medicine being pumped into my body, the quiet nights, the sleepless nights, even the hospital food (which wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t home). It could leave a bitter taste – if I would allow it. But no matter the storm, we all have a choice: either we can focus on the pain and what isn’t right and then let it guide our thoughts and actions, or we can trust in Christ who walks the journey with us. I decided that in the end, it was not going to win. Even if it took my mind, my body, this storm was not going to take me.” As she details her experiences from her diagnosis in April 2016 and the subsequent journey, Trisha shares introspective questions, biblical wisdom, and the varied emotions surrounding her diagnosis, treatment, and ultimate recuperation. Her desire is to provide hope in the midst of your storm and help align your own journey with God’s truth and grace. For even though storms can rain down destruction, the rains also bring new growth. Even So offers inspirational perspectives and wisdom from a cancer survivor to help others understand that God walks with us through all our storms.

Book excerpt: “No matter how high the flames, even so I will serve my God.” Life never seemed to be kind to the Nielsen family. They battled many things over the span of thirteen years. Depression, suicide attempts, accidents, deaths of loved ones, and the biggest one of all, cancer; they walked through the hottest flames and crawled through the longest valleys, but even so. Through stories, Scriptures, songs, and letters from the mother’s journals, this book tells the story of a family’s struggle to cope with heartbreak and pain and of an amazing woman who deeply loved God from her first breath to her last. “If you throw us in the fire, the God we serve can rescue us from your roaring furnace and anything else you might cook up, O king. But even if he doesn’t, it wouldn’t make a bit of difference” (Daniel 3:17–18a).

Download or read book Even So Joy written by Lesa Brackbill and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “In life’s toughest moments joy and heartache fight for our undivided attention. You determine which one prevails.” Stories are supposed to go a certain way—or so we’re told. You’re supposed to grow up, get an education, find your dream job, meet the love of your life, get married and start a family, and then live happily ever after. So when Brennan and Lesa Brackbill had their first child, they never imagined that they would soon lose her. In Even So, Joy, author Lesa Brackbill shares the touching and inspiring story of her first daughter, Victoria, who would sadly be lost to an impossible situation after being diagnosed with Krabbe leukodystrophy when she was only six months old. Victoria was everything Lesa and her husband, Brennan, had hoped for, but faced with her terminal disease, their world was turned upside down. Though their story could have been filled with sorrow and despair, God was there to fill the story instead with gratitude and joy. The Lord has a purpose for everything, and even though that purpose is not always fully revealed, we can learn to walk daily in the hope that God is going to redeem our sorrows. Lesa and Brennan won’t be the last couple to lose a child to an impossible situation, but through Tori’s life—and with God’s faithfulness and help—it will be a story that can encourage us to remember that God is good, God is sovereign, and God is faithful. Always.

Download or read book Revolutionary Science written by Steve Jones and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-01-10 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paris at the time of the French Revolution was the world capital of science. The city was saturated in scientists; many had an astonishing breadth of talents. Paris in the century around 1789 saw the first lightning conductor, the first flight, the first estimate of the speed of light and the invention of the tin can and the stethoscope. The theory of evolution came into being. Perhaps the greatest Revolutionary scientist of all, Antoine Lavoisier, founded modern chemistry and physiology, transformed French farming, and much improved gunpowder manufacture. His political activities brought him a fortune, but in the end led to his execution. The judge who sentenced him to death claimed that "the Revolution has no need for geniuses."In this enthralling and dazzling book, acclaimed science writer Steve Jones shows how wrong this was and takes a new look at Paris, its history, and its science, to give the reader dazzling new insight into the City of Light.

Download or read book Comfort written by Ilia Kavaja and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2016-03-30 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today more than ever before in human history, the dependency for comfort along with the indispensable necessity of moral, emotional and spiritual encouragement is in conflict with the iniquitous disposition of this present day society. The spirit of this world continues to resist and debilitate the divinely instilled organic appetite that is part of human original nature, personality and character. Even though the surrounding world tries to convince us as if we are unlovable, worthless and unforgivable, this volume will inspire our sensibleness so as to persist with the needed confidence, for finding or seeing the respectable extent of our own worth on the supreme pedestal of God’s given image and moral strength. We are exquisitely designed and divinely designated to remain everlastingly precious in love, goodness and reassurance. Even though our own heart tends to discourage and condemn us, this comforting volume will empower our vision to discern the true meaning and purpose of human existence, by authenticating the greatness of our value with eternity in view. The structure of human nature, character and personality would not be reliable pertaining to fundamental moral strength, lasting comfort and true happiness, unless exist a supreme purpose to appreciate the reason of holding on to such an objective. In actual fact, without this perpetual purpose along with love, faith and hope that galvanize our mind, heart and soul, there would not dwell the needed optimism for the author to initiate such painstaking descriptive work with the view to put in paper the proceeding five volumes of Authenticity, Comfort, Love, Perception and Dedication.

Download or read book The Society of the Sacred Heart in the World of Its Times 1865 2000 written by Monique Luirard and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2016-03-31 with total page 805 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the death of its founder in 1865, the Society of the Sacred Heart experienced exceptional recruitment and expansion, and departure from France of more than 2500 religious at the beginning of the century. Its story is that of the thousands of women who joined it to root their lives in its charism. In the forty countries where they have been sent, they have had to confront liberalism and anti-clericalism, revolution, the effects of Nazism and Marxism and world wars that destroyed their houses and scattered their members. After the Second Vatican Council, the elimination of cloister opened new fields of apostolic work to the Society. This book shows how the congregation developed amid internal crises, which did not differ from those in the Church and civil society, and how from these crises there emerged little by little a new way to be a Religious of the Sacred Heart.

Download or read book The Line through the Heart written by J. Budziszewski and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2014-04-29 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The suicidal proclivity of our time, writes the acclaimed philosopher J. Budziszewski, is to deny the obvious. Our hearts are riddled with desires that oppose their deepest longings, because we demand to have happiness on terms that make happiness impossible. Why? And what can we do about it? Budziszewski addresses these vital questions in his brilliantly persuasive new book, The Line Through the Heart. The answers can be discovered in an exploration of natural law—a venture that, with Budziszewski as our expert guide, takes us through politics, religion, ethics, law, philosophy, and more. Natural law, the author states plainly but provocatively, is a fact about human beings; as surely as we have hands and feet, we have the foundational principles of good and evil woven into the fabric of our minds. From this elemental fact emerges a natural law theory that unfolds as part of a careful study of the human person. Thus, Budziszewski shows, natural law forms a common ground for humanity. But this common ground is slippery. While natural law is truly an observable part of human nature, human beings are hell-bent—quite literally—on ignoring it. The mere mention of the obligations imposed on man by his nature will send him into a rage. In this sense, The Line Through the Heart explores natural law as not simply a fact and a theory but also a sign of contradiction. While investigating the natural law and its implications, Budziszewski boldly confronts—and offers a newly integrated view of—a wide range of contemporary issues, including abortion, evolution, euthanasia, capital punishment, the courts, and the ersatz state religion being built in the name of religious toleration. Written in Budziszewski’s usual crystalline style, The Line Through the Heart makes clear that natural law is a matter of concern not merely to scholars; it touches how each of us lives, and how all of us live together. His profoundly important examination of this subject helps us make sense of why habits that run against our nature have become second nature, and why our world seems to be going mad.
