Download or read book She Found His Grace written by Serena Dyksen and published by Destiny Image Publishers. This book was released on 2020-10-01 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Serena Dyksen heard the news that over 2,200 babies remains were found on the property of abortion doctor Ulrich George Klopfer, her whole body went numb from shock. She began to sob tears of grief. Is my baby one of those remains? she questioned. Dr. Klopfer performed her abortion when she was just thirteen years old. Just months before, Serena had decided to share her abortion story. After watching one of the last scenes in the pro-life movie Unplanned, she felt it was time to share the hope and healing God had done in her life. Serenas story reads like a traumatic tale: a childhood of dysfunction, rape, abortion at thirteen years old, a pregnant teenager at the age of sixteen, health issues, and a devastating event that led her to alcohol and drug abuse. But in her book, She Found His Grace: A True Story of Hope, Love and Forgiveness After Abortion, Serena reveals the transforming power of Gods healing in her life that set her completely free. She now finds comfort from Genesis 50:20 (ESV): As for me, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today. Serena wants everyone who reads her book to know that she walks in freedom because of the transforming power of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Everyone needs to walk through the healing process of their past abortion, no matter what the circumstances, she testifies. If you dont, you will be walking through deception, pain, and all the bondage that goes with that. But the same God who sent people to show His love for me is the same God who will redeem your life too! Headlines of Dr. Ulrich Klopfers evil highlights the horrors of the abortion industry, but Serenas testimony overshadows that darkness with the truth of God's word. There is forgiveness, hope, and healing for your past abortion. God shines through my life; he can shine through yours too!

Download or read book 12 Steps for the Recovering Pharisee like me written by John Fischer and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2000-03-01 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who Are We to Judge? We have met the Pharisees, and they are...us. That's because we are all slaves to self-righteousness and judgmentalism. It's built into human nature. We set "the standard"--the list of do's and don'ts--to which others must adhere. Then we associate this predetermined behavior with righteousness and declare, "A 'Christian' wouldn't do that." In this book, John Fischer points out that Jesus defined the truth in such a way as to leave no one righteous--not one. We cannot be made right before God by being "better" than anyone else. Instead, by recognizing and laying aside the Pharisee in all of us, we can embrace the grace, gratitude, and joy of the spirit-filled life.

Download or read book Grace Based Recovery written by Jonathan Daugherty and published by Be Broken Ministries, Inc.. This book was released on 2013-11 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recovery from addiction is not easy. It is often made even more difficult when recovery programs measure an addict's progress only by their performance (did they act out or not). Many addicts bail out of such programs or remain locked in a system that keeps them on a treadmill of endless activity. Performance-based recovery programs never lead an addict to real freedom. Grace-Based Recovery is a book that helps addicts and anyone seeking to help them understand that grace is the best environment for affecting lifelong change. It is time for addicts to step off the performance treadmill and engage an approach to recovery that is about whole life transformation; real freedom for the rest of their life. This book highlights what grace-based recovery is, what it is not, how it helps addicts with such necessary steps like confession and forgiveness, why grace is the best environment for recovery, and 7 basic principles for lifelong health and freedom. It also includes helpful resources for finding, or creating, grace-based recovery environments. This book is a great resource for support group leaders, pastors, counselors, or loved ones who want to know what is really at the heart of helping addicts break free from addictive patterns.
