Download or read book Walk Out on the Water written by Caitlyn de Beer and published by Chsn Investments Pty Limited. This book was released on 2020-12 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For as long as I can remember I have found solace in the ocean, in breathing in the salty air, hearing the roar of washes crashes, watching as the sets roll in and feeling the sand between my toes. It was during one of my toughest seasons of my life, when facing a physical condition that had me feeling hopeless, that God reminded me that He is living water, He calms seas. He empowers us to walk out on the water, and He leads us beside quiet streams. A close friend challenged me amidst a physical hardship I was living with, to return to a place where I hear God's voice the clearest, and so we spent a weekend at our beach house for to recoup and reconnect to God. I was hopeless, depressed, in physical pain and living under grey skies, but that's often where God meets us. His grace is found exactly where we are. God began to speak to me about suffering. He reminded me that my faith does not exclude me from suffering but that my hope is eternal. He spoke to me of Him being living water and that nothing on earth would ever fill me like He can. I knew this deep down but I suppose life had caused me to forget. And then He laid on heart the desire to write this devotional; a letter of love about our King. He is enough for you. For me. His grace is that good, His love that deep. Nothing can separate us from the love, which is found in Jesus. He is the happiness and the peace that our souls thirst for. May this devotional be a source of hope and encouragement to you on your faith journey, as you read through the various themed chapters. Through the colloquial devotions on each dated page, may you be encouraged to draw closer to Jesus, and to welcome Him into your life, your mess and your future.
Download or read book How to Walk on Water and Other Stories written by Rachel Swearingen and published by . This book was released on 2020-09 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Rachel Swearingen's debut collection, How to Walk on Water and Other Stories, we meet grifters, account executives, waitresses, scientists, and artists who willingly open their doors to trouble. An investment banker falls for a self-made artist who transforms the rooms of her dingy apartment into eerie art installations. A young au pair turns her mundane life into a scene from Key Largo, endangering the child in her care. A down-on-his-luck son moves in with his mother and tries to piece together the brutal attack she survived when he was a baby. A brother helps his wayward sister kidnap her grandson to baptize him in the North Woods. Whether it's a run-down movie theater in Minneapolis, a haunted brownstone in Chicago, a primitive chapel in Northern Michigan, a seedy bar in Seattle, or a tourist hotel in Venice, Italy, Swearingen's powers of observation and suspense show that thoughts as much as place can haunt. The prose is nimble and often heartbreaking. Even as these stories bristle with menace, they soothe with tenderness and humor. The themes of crime and complicity, as well as art and commerce underpin many of these narratives, as does the question of what it means to survive in a world marked by violence and trauma.
Download or read book They Poured Fire on Us From the Sky written by Benjamin Ajak and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2015-08-11 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inspiring story of three young Sudanese boys who were driven from their homes by civil war and began an epic odyssey of survival, facing life-threatening perils, ultimately finding their way to a new life in America. Between 1987 and 1989, Alepho, Benjamin, and Benson, like tens of thousands of young boys, took flight from the massacres of Sudan's civil war. They became known as the Lost Boys. With little more than the clothes on their backs, sometimes not even that, they streamed out over Sudan in search of refuge. Their journey led them first to Ethiopia and then, driven back into Sudan, toward Kenya. They walked nearly one thousand miles, sustained only by the sheer will to live. They Poured Fire on Us from the Sky is the three boys' account of that unimaginable journey. With the candor and the purity of their child's-eye-vision, Alephonsian, Benjamin, and Benson recall by turns: how they endured the hunger and strength-sapping illnesses-dysentery, malaria, and yellow fever; how they dodged the life-threatening predators-lions, snakes, crocodiles and soldiers alike-that dogged their footsteps; and how they grappled with a war that threatened continually to overwhelm them. Their story is a lyrical, captivating, timeless portrait of a childhood hurled into wartime and how they had the good fortune and belief in themselves to survive.
