Book Description
For fifty years, music fans, hippies, artists, and songwriters have converged each spring on Quiet Valley Ranch in the Texas Hill Country. They are drawn by the thousands to the annual Kerrville Folk Festival, a weeks-long gathering of musical greats and ordinary people living in an intentional community marked by radical acceptance and the love of song. At the festival, David Johnson is known as Photo Dave, the guy who lugs around a large-format camera and captures the moments that make Kerrville special. It Can Be This Way Always collects eighty images from the past decade. Portraits of attendees and volunteers accompany scenes of stage performances, campfire jam sessions, and vans repurposed into coffee stands. In these images we see the temporary, makeshift world that festivalgoers create, a place where eccentricities are the norm and music is the foundation of friendship and unity. “It can be this way always” is a popular saying at Kerrville: simultaneously optimistic and wistful like a good folk song—or a photograph from your best life.

THERE IS ALWAYS A WAY BACK

Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 1643496115
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 201
Book Description
Whether you have wandered away and lost faith or never embraced real faith in Jesus Christ, this book will bring you new hope. Perhaps, on the other hand, you are praying for loved ones and friends to return or come to faith, this book will inspire you to believe in the god who answers prayer and that "there is always a way back." The casualties of life are everywhere, and deceptions are numerous. Many look back on wrong decisions, hurts, and broken relationships, and the scars and guilt from such things are etched into their hearts, leaving them with regrets that may have haunted them for years. The pull of a world system constantly seeks to take people as far away from God as possible and then leaves them wondering if there is any way back to real faith, peace, and hope. This book will bring you face-to-face with the truth that no matter what has transpired in your life, "there is always a way back." My challenge to you is to be prepared to take the journey this book sets before you and to seriously consider the truth Jesus taught as he told a simple story one day in order to illustrate the heart of his loving heavenly Father who is full of grace and truth and is always waiting to welcome home those who have wandered away. Whatever has transpired in your journey of life, no one is too far away that the grace and forgiveness of God cannot reach and restore. It's time to come home. Your heavenly Father is waiting, and everything is prepared because "there is always a way back." At the back of this book is the added bonus of questions for discussion on each of the nineteen chapters, which can be used in small groups. May you be blessed and encouraged as you read There Is Always a Way Back.
