Story Behind the Book “In the thirty-seven years I’ve lived as a quadriplegic, I have been forced time and again into the arms of Jesus. Sometimes my paralysis has pushed me down the road to Calvary, like a sheepdog snapping at my heels. Sometimes suffering is like jackhammer, breaking apart my rocks of resistance and pride. Most often, my wheelchair has dumped me at the foot of the cross, and I have rested there by the overwhelming conviction that I have nowhere else to turn. But that’s okay. In fact, it’s a blessing. It’s all a bruising-of-a-blessing. Because near the cross, in the arms of Jesus, I have discovered deep, sweet, peaceable intimacy with the Savior. It’s an intimacy worth sharing!”

Download or read book Sex and the Supremacy of Christ written by John Piper and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2005-06-14 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible has a way of shocking us. If Americans could still blush, we might blush at the words, "Rejoice in the wife of your youth, a lovely deer, a graceful doe. Let her breasts fill you at all times with delight; be intoxicated always in her love" (Proverbs 5:18-19). But, of course, sin always tries to trash God's gifts. So we can't just celebrate sex for what God made it to be; we have to fight what sin turned it into. The contributors to this unique volume encourage you to do both: celebrate and struggle. This book has something for all-men and women, married and single-from contributors like John Piper, C. J. and Carolyn Mahaney, Mark Dever, Al Mohler, Carolyn McCulley, and others.

Book excerpt: Do you long for something more in your relationship with God? The good news is that “something more” does not mean “doing more.” God is not waiting for you to get your spiritual life “right.” He wants to be with you right where you are. The real question is not “What does God want from you?” but “What does God want for you?” Sharon Jaynes understands what it’s like to have a “glory ache”—a longing to experience God’s presence on a daily basis. She also knows how easily working for God can get in the way of intimacy with God. And she’s discovered that we tend to make our faith journey much too hard. In A Sudden Glory, Sharon uses Scripture and story to help you erase the line between your “spiritual life” and your “daily life” as you enter the sanctuary of God’s presence even in the middle of your busy, messy day. Here you will find your eyes opened to moments of sudden glory in which the Creator assures you of His love as you live and move and have your being in Him. Here you will discover true freedom—the freedom of experiencing God in a deeper and more intimate way than ever before. Includes Bible study and discussion guide.

Yet most people are skeptical of prayer, or convinced they’re doing it wrong. Is there a secret to talking with God? God is more concerned about the condition of our hearts than the words we use. He cares more about the posture of our hearts than the posture of our bodies. And what is the right heart posture? Humility.

On the other side of the journey, readers will have a more vibrant prayer life, and a more intimate relationship with the God to whom we pray.
Download or read book A Deeper Connection written by Renae Brame and published by . This book was released on 2021-03-15 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The call to write this book came out of a desire to connect and know God in greater depth, not just in knowledge of the Bible, but to delve more intimately into the part of God that is not written, that part that one has to experience in silence. This ninety day devotional is about a continual seeking, involving God in every moment of life. God's invitation is open for us to come closer, to open the eyes of our heart, mind, body, and soul and to feel His presence within us. We are invited to more fully open our eyes to see the daily view of His indescribable creations of nature that He has placed before us. In the process of writing this book, taken from my daily letters to God, I look back and see my own growth with God, and I feel it deep within my soul. In solitude with God, He reveals more of Himself, His depth of love. In the process, we let go of those things within us that need to be removed. There is no longer a façade. We become more the true self that God created us to be. Each day we are invited to enter the footprints of Christ in a world where more of God, more of Christ, more of the Holy Spirit is greatly needed. This book is about God's commission to each of us, His beloved, to spread the hope, peace, joy, light and love of Christ into the world. A Deeper Connection invites us to come inside, to enter a deeper level with God, seeking, listening, and following God and discovering His love. It is a love so great that it will change us and make our lives more meaningful, purposeful, and fulfilling. Our ordinary lives will become extraordinary when we are deeply connected with our heavenly Father. Our lives travel beyond the normal to the divine. God whispers an invitation to come deeper into His love. We must enter at our own pace into the heart of God. And once we do, it will be difficult to leave because it is the depth of God's love for His creation, His beloved. God desires this with us, and we desire this with Him. Our lives will be changed, blessed beyond anything the world can offer, and for that we lift to God our full abandonment and love.
