Download or read book The Great Unknown Where Feet May Fail written by Joel Timothy Houston and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2018-03-13 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Imagine this: an auditorium packed to the rafters with thousands of hand-raising energetic fans rocking out to a live band. But it’s no ordinary concert: it’s a weekly spiritual experience with more than 50 million people participating all over the world. That band is called Hillsong United.” —TODAY Have you ever questioned love? Have you ever questioned faith? Have you ever questioned the reason you exist? Joel Houston, the American Music and Billboard award-winning musician, songwriter, pastor of Hillsong NYC and front-man with the world-renowned Hillsong United, chronicles in candid vulnerability some of the unexpected struggles he navigated on his unlikely personal and spiritual journey. The world knows Joel as one of today’s most influential Christian recording artists and the pen behind such beloved songs as “Oceans (Where Feet May Fail).” Yet few of the many who sing the songs know just how intrinsic Houston’s own personal and spiritual odyssey has been, giving shape and form to the very sound and words that have come to resonate with believers and unbelievers alike across the spectrum of culture. Joel takes readers on a candid journey of vulnerability through his own struggles with fear and insecurity. His words and his story challenge us to tear through the stereotypes, constructs, misunderstandings and blinding perspectives that so often leave us crippled, clinging for dear life to the very things we need to let go of, all because we're too afraid to step into the mystery. The true wonder and beauty of life requires letting go of our expectations, and embracing the profound foolishness of the greatest mystery of all: love. By stepping into The Great Unknown, we will find what a beautiful life we have been called to live, when we trust God to lead us into our calling and beyond our fear.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1980, Pamela Alexander and her husband, Jimmy, felt led by God to open a bed and breakfast and were led to Psalm 37 within a short time of that calling. Through this passage, they learned how to wait upon the Lord and how best to prepare and build a B&B. Meanwhile, they trained in the art of hospitality and grew in His wisdom. Thirteen years later, they opened the Alexander Bed & Breakfast Acres (ABBA). Trust without Borders presents an exploration of Psalm 37. In this study, Pamela examines how God wants us to trust Him with all of our being, showing that when we worship Him in that obedience, He blesses us abundantly with joy and peace. She reveals that trust is our gift back to God, and that He is pleased by the beauty of a trusting heart, and that trust demonstrates the meaning of living by grace rather than works. She also considers these questions: Is it trust only when we get our way? How do trust and entering His rest comingle? Why is gratefulness a foremost quality of a trusting follower of Christ? Join Pamela in fellowship and in study of Gods Word, and learn how to trust God with everything and every need of your life.

Download or read book Ocean of Love or Sea of Troubles written by Geoffrey Harris and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2016-12-22 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The title of Dr. Harris' book suggests that life is like a two-sided coin: it can be an Ocean of Love but can also be a Sea of Troubles. The subtitle clarifies this paradox: first, there are many signs of God's reality and activity in the world, and the first section of the book examines ways in which people are aware of God as both a creative and immanent presence in life. The "signs" of God are not philosophical "proofs" but empirical realities accessible to all people. In the second section, the biblical responses to suffering in the world are explored--through both Old and New Testaments. In the third section the writings of two modern apologists, C. S. Lewis and Philip Yancey, are assessed, and then finally there is a chapter of interviews with people who have known suffering in their lives.

Download or read book The Hillsong Movement Examined written by Tanya Riches and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-02 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This interdisciplinary volume brings together leading writers and thinkers to provide a critique of a broad range of topics related to Hillsong Church. Hillsong is one of the most influential, visible, and (in some circles) controversial religious organizations/movements of the past thirty years. Although it has received significant attention from both the academy and the popular press, the vast majority of the scholarship lacks the scope and nuance necessary to understand the complexity of the movement, or its implications for the social, cultural, political, spiritual, and religious milieus it inhabits. This volume begins to redress this by filling important gaps in knowledge as well as introducing different audiences to new perspectives. In doing so, it enriches our understanding of one of the most influential Christian organizations of the late 20th and early 21st centuries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Orange Moments is the true story of the tragic death of Laura's eleven-year-old son and how she was able to lean into God rather than turn away at a time when there were no answers and explanation for how or why God let it happen. On a typical Sunday afternoon, following morning mass, the day after Tristan's eleventh birthday party, Laura and her husband found themselves living their worst nightmare. Laura and her husband kept their boys safe; as parents, it was their top priority and responsibility. After years of swimming lessons, wearing helmets, setting boundaries on the driveway so as to not go into the street, and discussing rules about not talking to strangers or wandering off, they had not prepared for this. A must read if you have ever found yourself in a situation that has left you broken in a thousand pieces on the floor, asking God, "Why?" Laura states, "It's not if""it's when something like this happens to you." We all have family and friends we love, and death is inevitable. Laura claims her faith is the single most important reason why she's still standing and encourages her readers to develop a relationship with Christ for endurance and perseverance. Overcome with grief, Laura's writing is honest, vulnerable, and raw as she offers a glimpse into the daily struggle of losing a precious child. Follow Laura along the path she and her family endured for the first year following her son's death. Grief's stages do not happen in order, and there is no checklist to get through it. Laura navigates through her grief and all its ups and downs with her faith, the support of friends, family, church, and exercise. Orange Moments provides hope and inspiration for anyone suffering a loss. Laura believes God does not cause bad things to happen. It's easy to blame God, yet He's the one working within our circumstances while the evil one continues to break us down and tear us apart. Fight back, endure, have hope, and find your orange moment.

Download or read book Consider It Pure Joy written by Kristina M and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-09-09 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our home in Madison was in a pleasant neighborhood. Across the street was a charming wooded area with a creek running through it. It was all potentially ideal. When I was very young, I remember feeling safe and content. I even remember thinking that my parents were perfect. I'm sure most young children do. Then a stark dichotomy began forming between the real world and the world that existed in our home. I kept praying that one day I would wake up and find the whole thing had been a bad dream. Or I would find an answer that would make it OK. My answer came from the infinite wisdom of God. His answers touch us at our core – because they are familiar, like coming home. They help us better understand the present world -- so that we can leave it behind. I was not alone. I just didn't know it yet. "Too much about God. But the intended audience will probably like it."
