Book Description
An American boy is introduced to God by his mother through prayer. He grows up and takes a look back on his prayers through time. He assesses how answered and unanswered prayers shaped his relationship with God. While writing the book the man perceives he has missed something about God. This realization changes everything for him. What he perceived was that God's action were different from what some clergy led him to believe about God. They portrayed to him an in-control, passionless genius playing a great game in which we are all pawns. Instead, he discovered something else in the Bible...a desperate God. First the flood and then the crucifixion of his only begotten son. He realized these are not the acts of someone with a pedestrian interest in the outcome of events on earth. These are desperate actions of one who is playing for keeps and playing to win. In the book he lays out his conclusions and the reasons why and an incredible list of answered prayer that goes far beyond coincidence.

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 206
Book Description
Have you struggled to reconcile God's vision of virtuous womanhood with worldly myths that marginalize and mock the role of the homemaker? Do you wrestle with cultural messages that demean the homemaker's calling and exalt instead the emotionally androgynous power-woman---the wife whose worth is measured only by the degree of her self-ambition, the shape of her body, or her money-making skills? Delightfully fresh and honest, "Passionate Housewives Desperate for God" debunks the modern "desperate housewife" myth and provides fresh vision for the homemaker. Hear a former "Christian" feminist share how she went from a die-hard homemaker-in-training to a dedicated career woman, and then back again---after God gripped her heart. See the hollow counterfeit of whitewashed feminism and "me-ology" destroyed. And consider the beautiful picture painted in Scripture of the truly fulfilled homemaker who glories in the hopeful calling God created for her.

Desperate for More of God: The Heart Cry of Every Believer
Author: Shane a. Idleman
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780971339378
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 300
Book Description
One of the difficult challenges associated with pastoring is witnessing the tragic results of people dying spiritually with living water just steps away: "Whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst" (John 4:14). Although most can quote, "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness for they shall be filled," many have never truly experienced it-very few are truly hungry and thirsty for God. This book is a compilation of past articles, sections from other books I've written, and sermons preached at Westside Christian Fellowship-the best-of-the-best. We pray that this collection of targeted topics fuels an intense desire for more of God. Though the road ahead may be uncertain at times, the solid ground beneath will never shift. It's all about Who you know. Desperate for More should be the heart cry of every believer. "Bold, Outspoken, and Prophetic, this book is sure to awaken, convict, and challenge..." -Alex Montoya; Associate Professor of Pastoral Ministries, The Master's Seminary in Sun Valley, California

Love Like Jesus: How Jesus Loved People (and how you can love like Jesus)
Author: Kurt Bennett
Publisher: Enoch Media
ISBN: 0984189556
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 183
Book Description
Based on Kurt Bennett's popular-ish blog God Running, Love Like Jesus begins with the story of how after a life of regular church attendance and Bible study, Bennett was challenged by a pastor to study Jesus. That led to an obsessive seven-year deep dive. After pouring over Jesus' every interaction with another human being, he realized he was doing a much better job of studying Jesus' words than he was following Jesus' words and example. The honest and fearless revelations of Bennett's own moral failures affirm he wrote this book for himself as much as for others. Love Like Jesus examines a variety of stories, examples, and research, including: -Specific examples of how Jesus communicated God's love to others. -How Jesus demonstrated all five of Gary Chapman's love languages (and how you can too). -The story of how Billy Graham extended Christ's extraordinary love and grace toward a man who misrepresented Jesus to millions. -How to respond to critics the way Jesus did. -How to love unlovable people the way Jesus did. -How to survive a life of loving like Jesus (or how not to become a Christian doormat). -How Jesus didn't love everyone the same (and why you shouldn't either). -How Jesus guarded his heart by taking care of himself--he even napped--and why you should do the same.-How Jesus loved his betrayer Judas, even to the very end. With genuine unfiltered honesty, Love Like Jesus, shows you how to live a life according to God's definition of success: A life of loving God well, and loving the people around you well too. A life of loving like Jesus.
