Download or read book God Conversations written by Tania Harris and published by Authentic. This book was released on 2017 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do I know it's God? is one of the most commonly asked questions of new and mature Christians alike, and the aim of God Conversations is to both equip and inspire the reader and show them that hearing the voice of the Spirit is accessible to everyone who chooses to follow Jesus. Most Christians know that God speaks, yet struggle with how to recognise his voice in their everyday lives. What does God's voice sound like? How do we know if what we're hearing is from God? Stories of God talking to his people abound throughout the Bible, but we usually only get the highlights. We read; "And God said to Joseph; 'Go to Egypt'," and then; "Mary and Joseph left for Egypt." We don't get a blow-by-blow description of how God spoke. We don't receive a detailed explanation of how they knew it was God, and we don't get to see what was going on inside their heads as they acted on what they'd heard. In God Conversations, international speaker and pastor Tania Harris shares insights from her own journey about hearing God's voice. You'll get to eavesdrop on some contemporary conversations with God in the light of his communication with the ancient characters of the Bible. Part memoir, part teaching, this unique and creative collection of stories will help you to recognise God's voice when he speaks and how to respond when you do.

Download or read book A Quiet Country Town written by David Gibbings and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2015-04-06 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has been 100 years since the first airfield was established in the country town of Yeovil. Since 1915, aircraft have been designed, manufactured and tested at Westland, including the Lysander, used to transport British agents to Europe during the Second World War. In 1948 the company focused solely on helicopters and its aircraft have been sent all over the world since then, used in lifesaving with Air Ambulance and Search and Rescue and deployed in warfare such as Balkans, Iraq and Afghanistan. To celebrate the centenary of the UK's only major helicopter manufacturer, David Gibbings has collated an anthology of writings that retell Westland's history and its special relationship with Yeovil, which has rarely been quiet since the first aircraft took off from the airfield that now lies at its heart.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between a mother and daughter is a special one. Unfortunately, not all mothers and daughters share good relationships. This is the case with Deloris and her mother, Emma Jean. Deloris dreams of the moment when she'll leave home and her mother for good. But when she comes up pregnant for Jasper Reynolds, a man several years older, Deloris becomes a bargaining chip between Emma Jean and Jasper for his freedom. Married to Jasper and expecting her first child, Deloris finds some comfort in being the woman of her own home. Although Jasper imposes house rules of his own, Deloris feels freer than ever before. However, her freedom is short-lived with the return of Luther Diamond, a dangerous man from her past. Deloris knows that her marriage to Jasper is a betrayal to Luther and he's not a man that takes betrayal well. In fact, Luther has every intent to kill Jasper Reynolds, but Deloris in desperation to save the life of her new husband, reveals another tragic betrayal committed by her mother. Jasper's suspicion of his new wife causes him to decide to place Michael, his best friend, in the position of watchdog for Deloris. This might prove to be a mistake because unknown to Jasper, Michael carries a torch for Deloris and she might be carrying much more for Michael. Deloris has many problems, but her mother remains the biggest. After the birth of her baby, Deloris lies in a coma while Emma Jean sets an evil plot in motion to steal her daughter's baby. The relationship between this mother and daughter isn't just bad, it's downright criminal.

Download or read book Quiet Rebels written by Mary Jane Mossman and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2024-05-16 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “It’s a girl!” the Ontario press announced, as Canada’s first woman lawyer was called to the Ontario bar in February 1897. Quiet Rebels explores experiences of exclusion among the few women lawyers for the next six decades, and how their experiences continue to shape gender issues in the contemporary legal profession. Mary Jane Mossman tells the stories of all 187 Ontario women lawyers called to the bar from 1897 to 1957, revealing the legal profession’s gendered patterns. Comprising a small handful of students—or even a single student—at the Law School, women were often ignored, and they faced discrimination in obtaining articling positions and legal employment. Most were Protestant, white, and middle-class, and a minority of Jewish, Catholic, Black, and immigrant women lawyers faced even greater challenges. The book also explores some changes, as well as continuities, for the much larger numbers of Ontario women lawyers in recent decades. This longitudinal study of women lawyers’ gendered experiences in the profession during six decades of social, economic, and political change in early twentieth-century Ontario identifies factors that created—or foreclosed on—women lawyers’ professional success. The book’s final section explores how some current women lawyers, despite their increased numbers, must remain “quiet rebels” to succeed.
