Book Description
The scripture declares that we are made over-comers by the blood of the lamb and words of our testimony. It was God who told me that what he had done for my marriage and all of my other relationships were testimonies that would help others. (not everybody ) but if it only help one it would be worth sharing his blessings. For in this microwave and disposal world, it's always that temptation to throw away people just like we throw away things and trash. Remember everyone and everything that God allows to touch our lives is for what I call "A Reason and A Season" I am constantly asking the Holy Spirit why did I go through this or why did I meet that person. "REASON" = "PURPOSE" and what is the 'SEASON"="TIME" God is the only faithful being in our lives; Not man and certainly not you or me. All of us need each other, No man is an island to himself. God says he'll cause men to give, "People". And yes, sometimes we go through problems with the people we have in our lives; (spouses, children, parents, friends, co-workers and yes even church members). I am encouraged today to let you know that God is a healer of relationships. When we trust him in the hard places he makes us to triumph! He gives our lives hope, restoration and healing. With divorce, murder, suicide, depression and hopelessness on the rise; I believe this book will minister to your heart, the hope and encouragement you need to make it through one more day; I'm confident that God is faithful, he will never leave or forsake you. Remember! Stop fighting people instead PRAISE! God, this will make Heaven glad and Satan mad and that is what we want to do. Praying for your Relationship(s) Gloria Reaves-Chisem

Becoming Whole
Author: Brian Fikkert
Publisher: Moody Publishers
ISBN: 0802481035
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 327
Book Description
Western Civilization is wealthier, but it isn’t happier. We are the richest people ever to walk the face of the earth, but according to research, we aren’t becoming happier. Families and communities are increasingly fragmented, loneliness is skyrocketing, and physical and mental health are on the decline. Our unprecedented wealth doesn’t seem to be doing us much good. Yet, when we try to help poor people at home or abroad, our implicit assumption is that the goal is to help them to become like us. "If they would just do things our way, they’d be fine!" But even when they seem to pursue our path, they too find that the American Dream doesn’t work for them. What if we have the wrong idea altogether? What if the molds we are using to help poor people don’t actually fit any of us? What if the goal isn’t to turn other countries into the United States or to turn America’s impoverished communities into its affluent suburbs? In Becoming Whole (building on the best-selling When Helping Hurts), Brian Fikkert and Kelly M. Kapic look at the true sources of brokenness and poverty and uncover the surprising pathways to human flourishing, for poor and non-poor alike. Exposing the misconceptions of both Western Civilization and the Western church about the nature of God, human beings, and the world, they redefine success and offer new ways of achieving that success. Through biblical insights, scientific research, and practical experience, they show you how the good news of the kingdom of God reshapes our lives and our poverty alleviation ministries, moving everybody involved towards wholeness.

Universal
Author: Brian Cox
Publisher: Da Capo Press
ISBN: 0306822717
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 361
Book Description
An awe-inspiring, unforgettable journey of scientific exploration from Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw, the international bestselling authors of Why Does E=MC2? and The Quantum Universe, with 55 black-&-white and 45 full-color pages featuring photographs, diagrams, maps, tables, and graphs. We dare to imagine a time before the Big Bang, when the entire universe was compressed into a space smaller than an atom. And now, as Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw show, we can do more than imagine: we can understand. Universal takes us on an epic journey of scientific exploration. It reveals how we can all come to grips with some of the most fundamental questions about our Earth, Sun, and solar system--and the star-filled galaxies beyond. How big is our solar system? How quickly is space expanding? How big is the universe? What is it made of? Some of these questions can be answered on the basis of observations you can make in your own backyard. Other answers draw on the astonishing information now being gathered by teams of astronomers operating at the frontiers of the known universe. At the heart of all this lies the scientific method. Science reveals a deeper beauty and connects us to each other, to our world, and to our universe. Science reaches out into the unknown. As Universal demonstrates, if we dare to imagine, we can do the same.

Marching Home: Union Veterans and Their Unending Civil War
Author: Brian Matthew Jordan
Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company
ISBN: 0871407825
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 400
Book Description
Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in History Winner of the Gov. John Andrew Award (Union Club of Boston) An acclaimed, groundbreaking, and “powerful exploration” (Washington Post) of the fate of Union veterans, who won the war but couldn’t bear the peace. For well over a century, traditional Civil War histories have concluded in 1865, with a bitterly won peace and Union soldiers returning triumphantly home. In a landmark work that challenges sterilized portraits accepted for generations, Civil War historian Brian Matthew Jordan creates an entirely new narrative. These veterans— tending rotting wounds, battling alcoholism, campaigning for paltry pensions— tragically realized that they stood as unwelcome reminders to a new America eager to heal, forget, and embrace the freewheeling bounty of the Gilded Age. Mining previously untapped archives, Jordan uncovers anguished letters and diaries, essays by amputees, and gruesome medical reports, all deeply revealing of the American psyche. In the model of twenty-first-century histories like Drew Gilpin Faust’s This Republic of Suffering or Maya Jasanoff ’s Liberty’s Exiles that illuminate the plight of the common man, Marching Home makes almost unbearably personal the rage and regret of Union veterans. Their untold stories are critically relevant today.
