Book Description
In a modern world where Christianity is spoken of candidly, many profess the faith although their lifestyles contradict their belief. They are lukewarm in their actions and prefer to remain spiritually ignorant. Blinded by the pleasures of this world, they feed the flesh which ultimately corrupts the soul. They proclaim perfection is unreachable and God judges the heart, but his word says, Be perfect, therefore, as your father in heaven is perfect Matthew 5:48. For out of the heart comes evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander Matthew 15:19. We have been deceived by the enemy in believing there are no consequences for our sin. There are pastors who deny the existence of hell and promote heaven as a place we all will dwell. These lies are manipulations of the truth. They are for people who need encouragement to continue the road to destruction and for those enjoying a life of mediocrity with no accountability. This book is designed for a remnant of people who grieve over believers portraying a different walk than what they talk. It exposes hypocrisy, condemns the practice of falsehood, and reveals the truth which may be the ultimate savior of your soul!

A Stranger in the House of God
Author: John Koessler
Publisher: Zondervan
ISBN: 0310864216
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 227
Book Description
Growing up the son of agnostics, John Koessler saw a Catholic church on one end of the street and a Baptist on the other. In the no-man’s land between the two, this curious outside wondered about the God they worshipped—and began a lifelong search to comprehend the grace and mystery of God. A Stranger in the House of God addresses fundamental questions and struggles faced by spiritual seekers and mature believers. Like a contemporary Pilgrim’s Progress, it traces the author’s journey and explores his experiences with both charismatic and evangelical Christianity. It also describes his transformation from religious outsider to ordained pastor. John Koessler provides a poignant and often humorous window into the interior of the soul as he describes his journey from doubt and struggle with the church to personal faith

No More Faking Fine
Author: Esther Fleece Allen
Publisher: Zondervan
ISBN: 0310344778
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
Scripture reveals a God who meets us where we are, not where we pretend to be. No More Faking Fine is your invitation to get honest with God through the life-giving language of lament. If you've ever been given empty clichés during challenging times, you know how painful it is to be misunderstood by well-meaning people. When life hurts, we often feel pressure--from others and ourselves--to keep it together, suck it up, or pray it away. But Scripture reveals a God who lovingly invites us to give honest voice to our emotions when life hits hard. For most of her life, Esther Fleece Allen believed she could bypass the painful emotions of her broken past by shutting them down altogether. She was known as an achiever and an overcomer on the fast track to success. But in silencing her pain, she robbed herself of the opportunity to be healed. Maybe you've done the same. Esther's journey into healing began when she discovered that God has given us a real-world way to deal with raw emotions and an alternative to the coping mechanisms that end up causing more pain. It's called lament--the gut-level, honest prayer that God never ignores, never silences, and never wastes. No More Faking Fine is your permission to lament, taking you on a journey down the unexpected pathway to true intimacy with God. Drawing from careful biblical study and hard-won insight, Esther reveals how to use God's own language to come closer to him as he leads us through our pain to the light on the other side, teaching you that: We are robbing ourselves of a divine mystery and a divine intimacy when we pretend to have it all together God does not expect us to be perfect; instead, he meets us where we are There is hope beyond your heartache, disappointment, and grief Like Esther, you'll soon find that when one person stops faking fine, it gives everyone else permission to do the same.
