Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just as suddenly as the chaotic and terrifying ordeal had all started it seemed as though all movement ceased in a split second. There was blood sprayed in every direction, inside and out and on the ground. I had blood coming out of my mouth, nose, and ears. The pounding of my heart was mammoth, I could feel it pounding almost at the top of my head. I was stoic as a statue; expressionless, motionless. The sound of the cold breeze whistled around me like a cruel joke. My jaws were locked, my body began to shiver, and then it shook uncontrollably. My teeth began to chatter. I had never before experienced such grief in all my life. My mind was just racing, like a fanatic, my heart pounding out of control. No one could have imagined the depth of my grief at that moment in time. Helpless and immobile, as I stood there watching my husband leave his body I felt that I would lose my mind. I screamed yet there was not a sound that would come out of my mouth! In one long uninterrupted silent scream I screamed at Peter not to die, I screamed at the other driver who caused this nightmare, I screamed at my pathetic legs for not being able to walk. I screamed for God, I screamed to Him for help. "My God, my God, please do not abandon me", I begged Him. Then from the depths of my soul came a gut-wrenching, primal scream that had been involuntarily released right out of my throat and from the pit of my stomach, a scream so agonizing that one of the men who was standing at the scene immediately covered his ears with both hands and sobbed like a child, his face contorted in obvious torture, his hands tightly squeezing the volatile sounds of my shrieks out of his ears. It was a scream that was no longer my own but that of a sadness that came from deep within the uncharted and dormant corners of my heart. It was a scream that awakened in me a state of reverence and dread of unmatched proportions. I fell to my knees and came pounding upon God's door that day! The speckles of broken glass reflected light like a thousand stars in a fallen sky. I watched in disbelief how we really have no control of our own lives, how with one blink of an eye your whole life can change, forever!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.

Download or read book The Menmenet Series written by Robert J. Muller and published by Poesys Associates. This book was released on 2023-01-11 with total page 1168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Murder, money, mystery, and metaphysics come together in a collection of riveting alternative-history thrillers. The Menmenet mysteries take place in a very different San Francisco colonized by the Egyptian Empire. A city of fog, temples, and mystery, Menmenet and the country of which it is the capital, the Ta'an-Imenty Republic, sit in an uneasy tension with the First Peoples' nations and the United States to the East. They get along well enough with the Aztec Republic to the south, but the Russians from Russkaya Amerika to the north are a constant source of trouble. Shesmu za-Akhen is a celebrity chef in Menmenet. Hutyt-er-Semetyu Cheryl MacIntyre is an emigrant from Boston in the United States trying to make her way in the homicide squad of the Menmenet medjau, the enforcers of ma'at. The trilogy of novels in the Menmenet Series tells their story. The Jackal of Inpu tells the story of how Shesmu and MacIntyre met, a romantic mystery full of murder and misplaced religiosity. In the second novel, The Lion of Bastet, the lovers follow the money amidst Aztec and Russian gangsters and temple priests dead set against them. The novel combines romance, police procedure, and religious conflict in a murder mystery that comes to a stunning conclusion. The third novel, The Bull of Mentju, takes Shesmu and MacIntyre far out of their comfort zones. Shesmu confronts the mystery of his missing father in the high mountains to the east, encountering First Peoples shamans and their gods, while MacIntyre confronts a more prosaic problem: the United States is mounting a secret attempt to take over the small country with genocidal intent. Ancient gods and modern armies clash in this military and political thriller. Enjoy all three novels in this box set of alternate history mysteries.

Download or read book Meditation Times with Elma written by Keith Hueftle and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2021-06-07 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AN ODYSSEY THROUGH THE TROUBLED SEAS OF DEMENTIA — A LOVE STORY It had gone to episodes of sudden confusion and rage, triggered by nothing I could ever identify. Then paranoia, people “upstairs in our home” to be taken care of somehow. I told her: “We’re in a new season. We’ve never been old before. We’ve got to learn to trust God in this time too.” The discharging nurse’s last greeting was: “It’ll get worse . . .” “Keith”, she said: “Don’t be afraid. It’s going to be all right.” She was unbelievable—reassuring me. By then she had lost almost all of her abilities—even to hold a fork or to scratch her own nose. She initiated her own blink signals: one for “yes”, two for “kisses”, three for “I love you”. Dance?—o yes, we still danced. Jitter-bug moves—seated. If you were watching, probably pretty comic. . It’s this period, three years of the Last Season, that began to hold a sweetness for us.

Download or read book The Mended Heart written by Suzanne Eller and published by Gospel Light Publications. This book was released on 2014-02-20 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being hurt and heartbroken is a sad reality for most of us. But I'm so thankful for this treasure of a book written by my friend Suzie Eller. Page by page, Suzie will help you understand how God's truth can heal your pain so you can move forward whole and healed. - Lysa TerKeurst, New York Times Bestselling Author and President of Proverbs 31 Ministries Brokenness happens. Tragedy, sin or the painful choices of others all have the ability to disrupt an otherwise contented life. And as a result of our heartache, we often attempt to fix our own brokenness—with disastrous results. If you've tried to heal, but keep ending up in the same place—whether the battle is in your heart or out in the open where everyone can see—The Mended Heart is for you. In this book, author Suzanne Eller tells it like it is: people throw quick fixes at you, or tell you to pull yourself up by your bootstraps (whatever that means). More important, though, she shares the powerful truth of Jesus' mission as outlined in Luke 4:18-21: He came to set free all those who are oppressed and in need of mending. You don’t have to fix yourself—Jesus loves you right where you are. In fact, He has already completed the work that needs to be done. The Mended Heart will encourage you to trust Him, to give and receive grace, and to move ahead even stronger than before … even if others don’t move with you.

Jacob Greene was a sweet boy raised by a loving, tight-knit family…of cultists. He always obeyed, and was so trusted by them that he was the one they sent out on their monthly supply run (food, medicine, pig fetuses, etc.). Finding himself betrayed by them, he flees the family’s sequestered compound and enters the true unknown: college in New York City. It’s a very foreign place, the normal world and St. Mark’s University. But Jacob’s looking for a purpose in life, a way to understand people, and a future that breaks from his less-than-perfect past. However, when his estranged sister arrives in town to kick off the apocalypse, Jacob realizes that if he doesn’t gather allies and stop the family’s prophecy of destruction from coming true, nobody else will…
Download or read book God s Hole In One and Other Miracles written by John Corfield and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2019-01-16 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God's Hole-in-One and Other Miracles is a book about the Lord's miraculous workings in the life of one ordinary Christian. The book begins with an unusual event which happened a few months after the author found faith in Jesus Christ as his personal Savior and Lord. He already had a series of miracles which led him to his knees in thanking God for his redemption. Therefore, he really didn't need the unusual event to confirm his faith. However, the irrefutable event listed first in this book, it is hoped, should most assuredly be found compelling. The rest of the book details a series of miracles in the author's Christian life of forty-three years. They include healings, lifesavers, a calling, and a few wonderful discoveries. The original purpose of the book was to encourage Christians of all denominational, nondenominational, and independent churches to not be afraid to share their personal miracles with others. Many today are intimidated to keep those events to themselves. However, we live in an age where biblical doctrine has been watered down to such an extent, that many don't really know what to believe any longer. God's Hole-in-One has also an evangelistic mission. Every person alive could have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ if they only knew the truth of who Jesus is. He had a mission to offer himself as the sacrificial lamb that would take away the sins of the world as well as its penalty. An explanation of Christ's finished work on the cross and what it means is woven throughout the chapters. He has made an offer to all of us to live with Him forever, but few today seem to understand what that means. The miracles presented in this book should encourage all who read it to seriously consider the claims of Christ. As he said, "You will know the truth and the truth will set you free." (John 8:32) His truth is so easy to see that even a child can understand it. He who has it will be "free indeed!" (John 8:36) The journey of miracles of this ordinary Christian, many against very high odds, was the Lord's doing, and it is finally time to share it with all who will listen. John has been presenting his message, 'The Importance of Miracles in a Christian's Life' to churches in Arizona. It's not about the book, it's a message of encouragement for all Christians in these chaotic times. If anyone would like to have John present his message to their church, Christian school, adult Sunday school class, Bible study, or any other Christian group, please contact John at: [email protected]

Book excerpt: Did the Inca have superhuman powers? Stories that Jesus Ruiz heard about his ancestors were just that, until he made a discovery that changed everything. His studies while attending the University of Arizona led him to ancient documents. We learn about shaman, ancient messages in weavings, quipu and our DNA. We learn how to talk to the gods. A beautiful library student working on her PhD covertly helps Jesus and later their paths merge while searching for records created by scribes during the Inca conquest. Their study leads to the Archives of the Indies in Spain, the Vatican, gods of human creation, ancient aliens, and beyond. The god Sach’amama leads them to hidden artifacts and Jesus embarks on an exciting quest for clues that transport him back to the beginning where he uncovers ancient hidden truths about the Incas and their supernatural powers. He and his new friends set out on an eye-opening journey through history, fantasy and time using the powerful secret keys of his homeland to defeat an evil threat. Long ago the gods gave people superhuman powers. When it is time, they will give those who earn it, the knowledge and understanding that will allow them to survive it’s use.
