Download or read book Come Look in My Kaleidoscope written by Joyce Coy and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2021-05-05 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While Joyce Coy was recreating mosaics of her adventures with words, she pictured her grandchildren from ages 7 to 25 who often asked, “Gramma, tell us a story about you.” Joyce has included naughty moments, the yearning and search to know God, and the tug of war between fears and faith. She has also given peeks into the cultural backdrop of the farming society of her youth in the 60’s and 70’s. Her wobbly times showcase God meeting her in specific ways. She unwraps the reality that Father God made a way through the unknowns of her life. His steady influence increased her trust. Even when her dearest love, her husband, had a sudden departure to heaven, Joyce could say, “It’s well with my soul, it’s okay.” Her objective in unzipping her heart is that each reader, youth or adult, will be supported on their personal footpath in knowing Him. What God has done for a modest grandma, He can also do for you.

Download or read book Kaleidoscope written by Les Wicker and published by . This book was released on 2018-10-10 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the book is a kaleidoscope about personal growth, challenges in faith and faith communities, patriotism and country, one must understand that life itself is an ever-changing kaleidoscope. The passing of time is like rotating the cell with the cause and effect of changing designs and colors. A second principle of the kaleidoscope is the principle of multiple reflections. Such is life.Life is a progression into the future. It is always moving and changing as new opportunities and issues surface. The joy of life is to turn the cylinder and not only to see the colors, but to be engaged at focal points which enrich one's life and the lives of others. It is the people who do not just observe the colors, but become those who create the colors that change their world. Those who sit and do nothing will never change their own lives and will have no impact on the world in which they live.

Download or read book Washed and Waiting written by Wesley Hill and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2016-09-13 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wesley Hill's personal experiences and biblical reflections offer insight into how a nonpracticing gay Christian can "prove, live out, and celebrate" the grace of Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit. For many who are on this path, it's a lonely one. The reality of loneliness and isolation of the celibate homosexual Christian is something that Hill lives and takes seriously in his pursuit of the gospel-centered life. To those on a similar journey, it's often a life of uncertainties and questions. In Washed and Waiting, Hill explores the three main struggles that have been part of his daily effort to live faithfully: What exactly does the gospel demand of gay and lesbian Christians, and how can it enable them to fulfill its commands? How do Christians who experience homoerotic desires live with the loneliness such desires entail? Is there any relief for it? What comfort does the gospel offer? Can those of us who struggle with homosexuality please God and truly experience his pleasure in the midst of sexual brokenness? Interspersed throughout these main sections are character sketches and stories of people who have experienced this journey's trials and triumphs. Hill offers wise counsel that is biblically faithful, theologically serious, and oriented to the life and practice of the church. As a celibate gay Christian, he gives us a glimpse of what it looks like to wrestle firsthand with God's "No" to same-sex sexual intimacy and contemplate serious and difficult questions.
