Book Description
This book is aimed at bringing people close to God as they walk with Christ and collect, learn, and use all the bits and pieces I have shared. I also challenge those in Christ to do the same in their journeys: collect and share the bits and pieces they come across with to equip fellow brethren as challenges continually appear in life. Women may relate more to this book because most of what I am sharing is from my experiences, but it is aimed to challenge people who have not yet accepted Christ to accept him as their personal savior. To those who have already accepted Jesus, its meant to enhance their relationship and stay connected to him.

On the Road with Saint Augustine
Author: James K. A. Smith
Publisher: Brazos Press
ISBN: 149341996X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 295
Book Description
★ Publishers Weekly starred review One of the Top 100 Books and One of the 5 Best Books in Religion for 2019, Publishers Weekly Christianity Today 2020 Book Award Winner (Spiritual Formation) Outreach 2020 Resource of the Year (Spiritual Growth) Foreword INDIES 2019 Honorable Mention for Religion This is not a book about Saint Augustine. In a way, it's a book Augustine has written about each of us. Popular speaker and award-winning author James K. A. Smith has spent time on the road with Augustine, and he invites us to take this journey too, for this ancient African thinker knows far more about us than we might expect. Following Smith's successful You Are What You Love, this book shows how Augustine can be a pilgrim guide to a spirituality that meets the complicated world we live in. Augustine, says Smith, is the patron saint of restless hearts--a guide who has been there, asked our questions, and knows our frustrations and failed pursuits. Augustine spent a lifetime searching for his heart's true home and he can help us find our way. "What makes Augustine a guide worth considering," says Smith, "is that he knows where home is, where rest can be found, what peace feels like, even if it is sometimes ephemeral and elusive along the way." Addressing believers and skeptics alike, this book shows how Augustine's timeless wisdom speaks to the worries and struggles of contemporary life, covering topics such as ambition, sex, friendship, freedom, parenthood, and death. As Smith vividly and colorfully brings Augustine to life for 21st-century readers, he also offers a fresh articulation of Christianity that speaks to our deepest hungers, fears, and hopes.

Pages : 157
Book Description
The original American foundation is on the verge of collapse. Each decade forward from the 1960s has allowed another element of moral decay to erode the societys infrastructure. Satan is successfully unraveling the moral fabric of this nation and the church, with his hostilities aimed especially at Christianity. Is there anything we can do to fortify our nation and our church, defending it against these attacks? In Journey: From a Foreign Land to a Promised Paradise, author and minister L. Keith Hale reveals Satans ideals and the veil of deceit sold to the American public as a progressive ideology. Each one of these ideals is moving an ancient stone set by Gods Word, and an in-depth examination of the issues can unveil Satans motivations and actions, giving Christians an understanding of the multifaceted cultural shift happening in America. Yet because the providential hand of God aided in this nations inception, we can look to this godly foundation for a way to once again restore the Christian conscience in America. Every American and every Christian should examine the dream of liberty and the truths on which, in the past, we have stood firm. In so doing, we will heed the divinely inspired wisdom of the Proverbs: Do not move an ancient boundary stone set up by your forefathers (22:28).

I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die

Pages : 257
Book Description
A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.

Sacred Mundane

Publisher: Kregel Publications
ISBN: 0825444470
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 235
Book Description
What if the key to changing your life--and yourself--is already in your hand? So many women struggle with what to do with their daily lives. They feel trapped in everyday drudgery and disappointment, in dull domestic duties, and in mundane jobs they despise. Where is the abundant, purposeful life they were promised? Kari Patterson shows readers the truth: in each unremarkable life lies an opportunity to see, know, love, and be utterly transformed by a God who meets everyone right where they are. Instead of stepping away from real life to find God, Patterson equips women with a six-step practice to move further in and meet Him in the humdrum moments of everyday existence. And when a woman's inner being is truly changed by the sacred, everything in her world changes too--right down to tackling the dirty dishes. Through entertaining narrative, candid real-life stories, Bible study, and practical instruction, Sacred Mundane guides individuals or small groups to discover the beautiful sacredness in the lives they already lead. Women who long to grow in God and make a real difference in the world--no matter how small--will reach eagerly for this book and the radical transformation it offers. "Our daily routine, with its mundane tasks and mindless repetition, is ultimately an offering of worship to God. What a great truth from a great God!" --Ann Byle, author of The Making of a Christian Bestseller and coauthor of Devotions for the Soul Surfer
