Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Turning Aside is about stepping out of our routines--like Moses turning from tending sheep, like a certain man selling his everything to buy a field--to take time to consider the ways of God in the company of some of the finest poets of our time. Turn aside with such established poets as Wendell Berry, Les Murray, Luci Shaw, Elizabeth Jennings, Richard Wilbur, Dana Gioia, and Christian Wiman--and respond to their invitation for us to muse along with them. Walk with poets from various parts of the planet, even though some of them are less known, whose words have been carefully crafted to encourage us in our turning aside. The Turning Aside is a collection of Christian poetry from dozens of the most spiritually insightful poetic voices of recent years. It is a book I have long dreamed of compiling, and it has grown beyond my mere imagining in its fulfillment.
Download or read book Turning Aside to See written by Patricia Hofer and published by Wheatmark, Inc.. This book was released on 2010-12-15 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You walk into a room, determined not to get angry and upset again. And yet you do. You prayed away your guilt from something you did last week, or last year, or a decade ago -- only to have the regret and shame flood in one day out of nowhere. After practicing patience or kindness for years, you lose it all, in a single conversation. Where is the permanency in Christian regeneration? Why are our choices easier to make than to maintain? If these experiences or questions describe your walk as a Christian, this book is for you. Third in a series, Turning Aside to See continues the day-by-day journey that has been established in Driving into the Dawn and Yielding to Wonder. Each two-page chapter begins with a proverb. Sometimes Hofer agrees with its conventional wisdom, applying it in some way to Christian experience. At other times she shows how Christianity contradicts the proverb, freeing us from worldly assumptions and logic. Hofer's first book, Power of Yielding, described her dramatic conversion experience and the lifetime pilgrimage that it initiated. She continues to read widely, journeying on, searching for similar spiritual awakenings and essential Christian truths. Her writing draws you into a relationship with the Lord that has thrived for over twenty years. Are you ready to turn aside to see? About the Author Patricia Hofer ended her high school teaching career in the early 1980s and found her way to Boston for a job in publishing. Besides learning to research and edit, she eventually had several articles published. After returning to Arizona, she taught freshman English and technical writing at Glendale Community College. Hofer is now retired and living in the lovely mountain town of Payson, Arizona. She is currently at work on her fifth book.

With Nazis bombing London every night, it’s time for thirteen-year-old Ken to escape. He suspects his stepmother is glad to see him go, but his dad says he’s one of the lucky ones—one of ninety boys and girls to ship out aboard the SS City of Benares to safety in Canada. Life aboard the luxury ship is grand—nine-course meals, new friends, and a life far from the bombs, rations, and his stepmum’s glare. And after five days at sea, the ship’s officers announce that they’re out of danger. They’re wrong. Late that night, an explosion hurls Ken from his bunk. They’ve been hit. Torpedoed! The Benares is sinking fast. Terrified, Ken scrambles aboard Lifeboat 12 with five other boys. Will they get away? Will they survive? Award-winning author Susan Hood brings this little-known World War II story to life in a riveting novel of courage, hope, and compassion. Based on true events and real people, Lifeboat 12 is about believing in one another, knowing that only by banding together will we have any chance to survive.

Download or read book The Collected Works of Martin Luther written by Martin Luther and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-11-16 with total page 1847 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Martin Luther's 'The Collected Works of Martin Luther' is a comprehensive collection of writings by the influential theologian and leader of the Protestant Reformation. The book covers a wide range of topics including theology, biblical interpretation, and the relationship between church and state. Luther's writing style is direct, passionate, and deeply rooted in his spiritual beliefs, making it both engaging and thought-provoking for readers. This collection provides valuable insights into the historical and religious context of the 16th century Europe, shedding light on the turbulent times in which Luther lived and worked. Martin Luther, a German monk and theologian, wrote these works in response to the corruption and teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. His bold ideas and critiques sparked a major religious movement and forever changed the course of Western Christianity. Luther's personal experiences and strong convictions are evident in his writing, making it a valuable resource for scholars and readers interested in the Reformation era. I highly recommend 'The Collected Works of Martin Luther' to anyone interested in the history of Christianity, theology, or the Protestant Reformation. Luther's writings are not only historically significant but also intellectually stimulating, offering a unique perspective on faith and spirituality.

Download or read book The Power of Surrender written by Michael Catt and published by B&H Publishing Group. This book was released on 2010-03-01 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michael Catt, senior pastor of Sherwood Baptist Church and executive producer of hit films Facing the Giants and Fireproof, believes the word “revival” has been used in so many ways as to lose its meaning altogether. The Power of Surrender, his third book in the ReFRESH series (after The Power of Desperation and The Power of Persistence) reminds the church that “revival” really means (1) focusing on confession and cleansing, (2) making repentence and restoration a priority, and (3) walking in the fullness of the Holy Spirit and abiding in Christ. Surrender is the key to revival which is the key to spreading the gospel. Catt has witnessed the fruits of these disciplines at his congregation firsthand: “We are now seeing people walk through the baptismal waters. People are being saved. Members are inviting their lost friends and unchurched neighbors. Attendance shot up. Why? Revival produces evangelism.”
