Book Description
Imagine discovering that the mirror you were viewing yourself through for most of your life was severely warped. That the actions and choices you made were unjustifiable. Intolerable, to your loved ones and to God. Such were my own choices. I drank and smoked pot excessively. I spent extravagant sums of money on helicopters, exotic cars and the production of indie film projects simply because, with access to significant funds, I could. Incapable of restraining my carnality, I was an overbearing husband, an ill-tempered father and a consumer of porn.Yet despite my blind and arrogant ways, the constant drip of a supernatural truth serum- administered in the form of a series of inexplicable, miraculous events-has awoken me bit by bit: I escaped unscathed from an uncontrollable fire and from calamitous Bobcat and helicopter accidents to the utter disbelief of those who witnessed. My wife, who had tried for over a decade to conceive, became pregnant following intense prayer and the laying on of hands. The inoperable brain tumor of a girl in our local community became operable after I prayed for her, compelled to do so by a supernatural voice.How to Piss Off God is not a conventional book. It won't solve your problems or give you a list of life's do's and don'ts. Rather, it lays bare in stark, real-world detail and raw writing my own journey from the icy grips of pride and ego to the discovery of compassion, unity and the effects of God's love. Once the spiritual optics were put in place, my understanding from another dimension came into focus. What was once acceptable by my own standards was forced into a paradigm shift of an unsuspecting magnitude.

How to Pray When You're Pissed at God
Author: Ian Punnett
Publisher: Harmony
ISBN: 0307986047
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
When things really go wrong, what do you do with the feeling that God is to blame? A popular Coast to Coast radio host (and Episcopal clergy) provides some answers. In a first of its kind book, Ian Punnett provides a spiritual path for expressing your rawest emotions through prayer and how to rebuild a relationship with one's higher power--or anybody else in your life. In this important and practical book, Ian Punnett provides insight on feeling anger and resentment toward God and offers advice on how to deal with the pain and blame that accompanies these emotions. In a book that is edgy, timely, funny and compassionate, Punnett presents real help in everyday language for transforming the negativity of anger into a positive and useful force that will ultimately help us pray more effectively, bring us closer to God, enhance our spiritual relationship, and change the way we live and love others. After a divorce, a broken friendship, the death of a loved one, the loss of a job or even the accumulation of all the tiny cracks in our spirit from life's disappointments, it’s easy to feel pissed at God. When anger is left unchecked, it is harmful to our minds, bodies and souls. “How to Pray When You’re Pissed at God is not “the last word” on angry prayer,” Punnett writes, “but it might be the first words you have ever heard on the topic. By the end of the book, it is my hope that you’ll understand the role of anger in our lives, the benefit of honest prayer, and the need for honest, angry prayer in the lives of the faithful and faithless.”

The Secret Is Out: God’s Truth Vs Satan’s Doctrine
Author: Innocent Nangoma
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 1532093535
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 484
Book Description
Once upon a time, a man named Godfrey White took it on himself to read the whole bible to determine its validity. Unfortunately, he could not understand it. This upset Godfrey White because he saw the positive impact it had done on other lives and wanted to know more about this “One God” so that it could impact his life too. Mr. White was extremely irritated by the bible because when he read it, he felt like it was judging him, so he felt unworthy of it. Mr. White would spend hours on hours during the day trying to figure out what God’s love was all about but felt it was too overwhelming to take in. He would sometimes read it before bed but found the stories as fictional and boring. He did his best to study it and maybe understand who God was but failed to do so. Therefore, Godfrey White placed the book in his closet, where all the other books he had finished reading were. He continued on with his life but everyday he would hear a voice calling to him, “Do you wish to know the truth?” He was not sure where the voice was coming from, so he ignored it. But the more he ignored it, the louder the voice got. Godfrey White soon began to lose his mind because the voice would not go away, so one day when he was alone in his room he spoke back to the voice, “Who is it that is speaking? Am I going crazy? What is the truth?” It was at that moment when the voice spoke back to him saying, “I heard you were searching for me, so I called back to you, but you ignored me. Go to your closet and find that book you have failed to understand, and I will guide you to the truth. Today the gospel shall be revealed to you, and you shall not only receive truth but a relationship with me.” #TheSecretIsOut

Idolism
Author: Marcus Herzig
Publisher: Marcus Herzig
ISBN: 1501421433
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 383
Book Description
Seventeen-year-old Julian Monk never expected to be a teen idol, but when opportunity strikes, he strikes back and throws himself headfirst into that new, exciting world of record deals, TV interviews, and screaming fan girls. His band mates are rather less enthusiastic about that new life they never really asked for. Dealing with their newly acquired fame and fortune is one thing – dealing with Julian is quite another. His sudden and unexpected metamorphosis from the shy and timid creature they have known all their lives into a surprisingly charismatic public speaker and global superstar takes everyone aback, and when Julian sets off on a very public crusade against superstition and bigotry, he raises more than just a few eyebrows – he raises hell, and his friends are no longer having any of it. Meanwhile at the Vatican, the newly elected pope Pius XIII is hell-bent on transforming the Church into a modern, ‘hip’ institution, and giving his PR advisor a headache or two. Intrigued by Julian’s radical way of inspiring some people while antagonizing others – including his own friends – simply by preaching love and understanding, the new pope can’t help but wonder where he heard that storyline before. They say God has a plan for every man, but this man has a plan of his own. The question is: can Julian withstand the temptations of the dark side?
