Book Description
Late one August evening, Amy Conner was awoken from her sleep and given the most devastating news she had ever received. Her husband, Curt, had died (at the painfully young age of thirty-two) in an accident while hunting. She and her two young children, ages four and two at the time, were sent reeling into grief. With the unending support from her friends and family, Amy was eventually able to find herself in a place of healing and hope. She has written this book for her children to remind them of the honorable and loving man their father was. In addition, she has felt compelled to help any young widow who has had to suffer a loss such as hers by sharing her story. There is light, strength, and peace to be found in this walk in the valley of the shadow of death (reference to the Bibles Psalm 23). You just have to open your heart and believe.

Book Description
The year 1973 marked a very low point in the life of Vance Havner, America¿s most quoted preacher. It was the year his beloved wife and companion of thirty-three years was struck down by a fatal and dreaded disease which distorted her lovely features and rendered her a helpless invalid. She departed this life to be forever with the Lord on September 2, 1973. Though I Walk Through the Valley is the chronicle of Vance Havner¿s passage through the darkest valley of his life, the record of how his faith in God triumphed in the crucible of suffering and bereavement. Don¿t expect these pages to be filled with time-worn clichés or pat answers. The book is written from the vantage point of one who has kept vigil alongside the hospital bed of his dying wife. People say things like, ¿I¿m so sorry you¿ve lost your wife.¿ Havner responds: ¿Lost is not the right word for Christians divided by death. You haven¿t lost anything when you know where it is!¿ People also say, ¿I know just how you feel,¿ to which Havner replies: ¿People often try to sympathize, but you have to go through this to know what it is like. You cannot share by imagination or observation. You have been there or you haven¿t.¿ ¿Now that she¿s gone, do the best you can.¿ Havner responds: ¿I want to do the best that Christ can do in me, exceedingly abundant above all I can ask or think.¿

A cancer diagnosis can be shocking and overwhelming, to say the least. But what happens when a husband and wife are both diagnosed with cancers that typically have poor prognoses? Richard and Robin Johnson were the pastors of a rural Colorado church where they were both diagnosed with cancers that would change their lives forever. “We all face ‘valley experiences,’ but how we deal with these situations and experiences will determine the outcome for us,” Richard says. “We can fall prey to fear, worry and defeat, or we can look to the Lord to help us, to strengthen us, and to become what He desires us to be in the midst of every situation.” Through the Valley will encourage you to trust God and live victoriously in whatever you may be going through in this life, for when Jesus is all we have, Jesus is all we need!

Book Description
There are many good books written about Psalms 23, so why another one? I answer, why not. I believe you cannot have enough of a good thing. This Psalm appears the favorite of many Psalm lovers and seeing it has blessed so many why not add one more blessing. @page { margin: 0.79in } h1 { margin-bottom: 0.08in } h1.western { font-family: "Liberation Serif", serif } h1.cjk { font-family: "Noto Sans CJK SC Regular"; font-size: 24pt } h1.ctl { font-family: "FreeSans"; font-size: 24pt } p { margin-bottom: 0.1in; line-height: 120% } a:link { so-language: zxx } There is a bulletin board in a park where people post different things like upcoming events, and things people are trying to sell, or places for rent. Well, one day someone wrote in big letters, "HELP." Maybe it was just a joke, but again maybe it was a cry for help. I guess if there is a reason for me writing this book, it would be in case someone is in need of Help. Aid in understanding this Psalm, or encouragement in their walk with the Lord. Help in understanding what God wants for their life. Whatever be the case I hope this writing helps you where you need help. Let me just set the stage to Psalms 23 before even introducing you to this book. The Bible says about King David; the author of this Psalm, that he was a man after God's own heart. With that thought in mind, I want you to imagine this great man and king of Israel, one night going into his bedchamber, maybe even after a great battle, and even after a tiring day. Before resting his head on the pillow, his thoughts are with God, the High and Lofty One who inhabits eternity. The one who has so many times delivered him from the hands of his enemy. The candles are lit the quill is in his hand as he writes the first thoughts on his mind. "The Lord is my Shepherd." And yes, David knew what a shepherd was because as a youth he learns the trade well. Defending the flock against all the perils, delivering them out of the clutch of the lion and bear. All this might have been on his mind as he compared His God with the care of a quiet, unseen shepherd guarding his flock, and maybe looking over him as one cares for a sheep. I thought this might be the best way to start with these thoughts. If our hearts are like David's heart and it seeks after God, I ask you to take a fresh look at what this Psalm is all about. Introduction It was in 2002 and 2003 when we had an in-depth study in Psalms 23 given by Jerry McMillin at the small chapel I attend. This Psalm has only six short verses so that I will cover them in 6 chapters. Out of all the Psalms, I believe this one is the best known. We hear it at many funerals. Many have memorized this one including myself. The thought might be on your mind, how can you get so much out of something so small? A chapter for each verse. I can answer that by saying that God's Word goes deep and sometimes you have to dig deep to find the precious Gems that the Spirit of God buried deep from those that just look on the surface and pass right by them. This book is not replacing this Psalm, but It will help you in understanding it. Think of it as a flashlight as you go into an underground mine filled with treasures that you might overlook. With flashlight in hand let us go in search of these treasures. When writing about spiritual things it takes much meditation because it is hard to write about things you can see, feel, touch, smell, hear, or taste but by comparing all the physical things to spiritual we can start to understand things we cannot see. We live in two parallel worlds, the physical and spiritual. The seen and the unseen. We are walking in both simultaneously, but sometimes we don't even realize it.

Failure Is Not Final
Author: Kaeren McGrowder
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1504946049
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 108
Book Description
Failure is not a failure when you fail; it can only become a failure when you have failed and refused to rise up and move on. In Failure Is Not Final, Kaeren McGrowder shares her experience about becoming pregnant in the church while still serving in the ministry. She honestly relates her inspiring story regarding her journey from falling from grace to gracious recovery. The authors story portrays the essential keys needed to overcome shame and guilt and to be transformed by the love of Jesus Christ. The crucial key is true repentance, like the story of the prodigal son in the Bible: I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, Father I have sinned (Luke 15: 1718). This true repentance involves humility (I will arise), acknowledgement of sin (I have sinned against heaven and before thee), and faith in action (And he arose and came to his father) (Luke 15: 20). No matter how serious the case may be, in spite of failure, shame, guilt, and rejection in life, we can overcome, recover, and be transformed by the love of Jesus Christ.
