Download or read book God Will Rock Your Comfort Zone written by Dr. Michelle P. Heard and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-11-19 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a world of disillusioned people standing in the rubble of shattered dreams, selfish indifference and crushed aspirations, this book is written to convey a message designed to compel all readers to seek God's guidance as He "rocks" them out of their comfort zones. These self-imposed boundaries limit the Abundant Life promised in the Word of God. An abundant life abounding in the fullness of joy and strength for spirit, soul, mind and body. This does not mean a painless or problem-free journey in life nor one that is judged as "successful" by your possessions or status in society. Rather, all believers are promised to receive God's peace, grace, new mercies every day and blessings in every area of life. New and positive life experiences, unanswered prayer requests, healing in the land and the eradication of long-established injustices are possible when people choose to let go of complacent, defeated and angry actions that continue to divide us. Comfort Zones diminish the hopeful and divine expectations of the Spirit man because of self-satisfaction and acceptance of what is familiar and comfortable. As you read these words, consider where you are in your walk with the Lord. Are you choosing to continue to limit your potential or are you seeking and believing for more from the God who is...MORE THAN ENOUGH?

Book excerpt: Neuropsychologist Offers Hope to Those Struggling with Depression As a board-certified neuropsychologist, Dr. Michelle Bengtson sees the devastation of depression. Early on, she practiced the most effective treatments and prescribed them for her clients. But when she experienced depression herself, she found that the treatments she had recommended were lacking. Her experience showed her the missing component in treating depression. In Hope Prevails, Dr. Bengtson writes with deep compassion, blending her training and faith, to offer readers a hope grounded in God's love and grace. She helps readers understand what depression is, how it affects them spiritually, and what, by God's grace, it cannot do. The result is an approach that offers the hope of release, not just the management of symptoms. For those who struggle with depression and those who want to help them, Hope Prevails offers hope for the future.

Download or read book Suffering and the Heart of God written by Diane Langberg and published by New Growth Press. This book was released on 2015-09-01 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: She's seen slave dungeons in Ghana. Genocide in Rwanda. Systemic sexual abuse in Brazil. Child abuse and domestic violence in the US. After forty years of counseling abuse survivors around the world, Dr. Diane Langberg, a world renowned trauma expert, remains certain that what trauma destroys, Christ can and does restore. This book will convince you, too, of the healing heart of God. But it's not a fast process, instead much patience is required from family, friends, and counselors as they wisely and respectfully help victims unpack their traumatic suffering through talking, tears, and time. And it's not a process that can be separated from the work of God in both a counselor and counselee. Dr. Langberg calls all of those who wish to help sufferers to model Jesus's sacrificial love and care in how they listen, love, and guide. The heart of God is revealed to sufferers as they grow to understand the cross of Christ and how their God came to this earth and experienced such severe suffering that he too is "well-acquainted with grief." The cross of Christ is the lens that transforms and redeems traumatic suffering and its aftermath, not only for the sufferer, but it also transforms those who walk with the suffering. This book will be a great help to anyone who loves, listens to, and seeks to help someone impacted by trauma and abuse. There is no quick fix, but there is the hope for healing through the love of God in Christ.

Download or read book Upon This Rock written by Rosie Rivera and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2014-09-26 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many new believers struggle due to a lack of teaching. The Bible states that we as baby Christians should desire the sincere milk of the Word that we might grow by it. Many people get born again and go back into the old lifestyle because they have no root in the Word and their foundation is weak. I would like to see every new believer become established and grounded in the Word so that they have a firm foundation that cannot be moved. Tests and trials come to each of us, and whether we stand or fall depends on the type of foundation our lives are built upon. The more we understand the Word, the stronger our foundation becomes. God desires that we take His written Word and His revealed Word and apply them to our daily lives. This book is intended to inspire new believers to go after God, to get to know Him, and to love the Word. There is no greater joy than knowing the one who came and gave His life that we might live.

Download or read book Upon This Rock My Church written by Eddie Dean Sumbler and published by Westview Publishing Co., Inc.. This book was released on 2005 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book Upon this Rock, My church is the first in a series of writings which will introduce and stimulate more dialogue concerning the biblical support and validity for a framework for the Multicultural Christian Church, emerging from GOD's Word. This book highlights the Multicultural Christian Church (aMCC) infrastructure in the early Church. The concept name a Multicultural Christian Church (aMCC) is definitively scriptural. The purpose for veiling the framework concept in scripture until now is crucial, yet simple. In His Alpha and Omega Wisdom, the FATHER knew that HE would bountifully bless HIS church and form it to be on earth as it is in Heaven. That has always been the intended design. But, the sin of covetousness, greed, and weak leadership has caused alarming moral decay, disconnection and dissension in the body. Today, in the new millennial era, the need for refocus and a Next-Level course of action for Christian churches, beyond denominational quagmire, is apparent. These writings will show Christian Churches everywhere how to move beyond denominational stagnation and squabbles. It will show them how to stand in unison as blessed, unique, contributing parts of the Body of Christ as they speak afresh, in one united voice, as the Kingdom of God on earth as in Heaven. As it was in the beginning, so shall the common cord of Christ be revealed in all things, especially the building of His Church.

Many of the doctrines and views that came from its teaching caused me to be an outcast and different from my peers. When I reached the age of eighteen and became independent of my parents, I started to study the Bible and find out for myself what was in it. It's been a long road and a difficult journey, but my quest has been rewarded by the many treasures I have found hidden in its pages. Just recently, I found the ultimate treasure: bringing the Bible into focus as one picture. This picture has become predominate in my understanding of God and how He views and works with those who come to Him.
