From Lost to Found
Author: Nicole Zasowski
Publisher: Thomas Nelson
ISBN: 0785226451
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
Being Lost is the First Step to Getting Found As a marriage and family therapist, one of Nicole Zasowski’s greatest joys is helping her clients grow in emotional freedom. What she couldn’t see for many years is that she was living her own life outside of that freedom, clinging to behaviors like shame, performance, and control in order to feel valued and safe. It was only when she was confronted with her own devastating pain and loss that Nicole realized her current way of life was failing her. She then discovered that sometimes God’s rescue looks like prying our fingers off what we think we want so that we can receive what we truly need. And often, on the far side of pain we don’t prefer, we find transformation we would not trade. In From Lost to Found, Nicole shares her story as she helps us name what we fear losing most, identify how our reactive behaviors are failing us, discover what joy we can find in letting go, and move forward in the freedom God has for us. God is writing a story of redemption in your life too. Find out for yourself that sometimes the greatest joy is found when we are drained of all misplaced hope and shallow identities. In the midst of pain or transition, discover a surprising path to healing as you lose your grip on comfort and control—and fall right into God’s transformative grace. Includes discussion questions for individual reflection or small group study

Heaven Misplaced
Author: Douglas Wilson
Publisher: Canon Press & Book Service
ISBN: 1591280516
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 146
Book Description
Though most Christians refrain from predicting exactly when our world will end, many believe that when earth's finale does arrive, it will be a catastrophe. They expect that before Christ comes back to reclaim His own, Satan will escape his chains and return to wreak havoc on our planet. Details vary, but the general assumption is the same: things will get much, much worse before they get better. But is this really what the Bible teaches? Leaving aside the theological terms that often confuse and muddle this question, Douglas Wilson instead explains eschatology as the end of the greatest story in the world - the story of humanity. He turns our attention back to the stories and prophecies of Scripture and argues for "hopeful optimism": the belief that God will be true to His promises, that His will shall be done on earth as it is in heaven, and that the peace and good will we sing about at Christmas will one day be a reality here on earth.

NO MORE ACCEPTANCE

ISBN:
Category : Religion

Pages : 106
Book Description
In No More Acceptance, Bradley takes the reader through the major methods the world uses to lure people into accepting the pattern of sin while denying the truths in God’s Word. Many times, we do not even realize that we are conforming to the world’s pattern because the methods the Devil uses to get us to fall into the pattern of the world are extremely discreet and can very easily deceive even the strongest of Christians if the Word of God does not guard us. The reader will be challenged, inspired, and motivated while reading this book to be a living sacrifice for Jesus while at the same time leading others away from the sinful pattern of this world and into the redeeming light of God’s Truth. The stories and tools presented in this book are inspired by God’s Word, innovative, and have a proven track record of success for people of various backgrounds and beliefs. The world will constantly try to hammer us with the hammer of acceptance of sin until the world has us nailed right into place with so many others that have fallen victim to the world’s lies. The questions we have to ask ourselves is: When the hammer of acceptance of sin comes crashing down on you, will you stand firm on God’s Truth and be a light into the world of darkness, or will you fall right into the pattern of the world as the Devil hoped you would?
