Rapture Practice
Author: Aaron Hartzler
Publisher: Little, Brown Books for Young Readers
ISBN: 0316215716
Category : Young Adult Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 301
Book Description
Sometimes salvation is found in the strangest places: a true story. Aaron Hartzler grew up in a home where he was taught that at any moment the Rapture could happen. That Jesus might come down in the twinkling of an eye and scoop Aaron and his family up to heaven. As a kid, Aaron was thrilled by the idea that every moment of every day might be his last one on planet Earth. But as Aaron turns sixteen, he finds himself more attached to his earthly life and curious about all the things his family forsakes for the Lord. He begins to realize he doesn't want the Rapture to happen just yet--not before he sees his first movie, stars in the school play, or has his first kiss. Eventually Aaron makes the plunge from conflicted do-gooder to full-fledged teen rebel. Whether he's sneaking out, making out, or playing hymns with a hangover, Aaron learns a few lessons that can't be found in the Bible. He discovers that the best friends aren't always the ones your mom and dad approve of, and the tricky part about believing is that no one can do it for you. In this funny and heartfelt coming-of-age memoir, debut author Aaron Hartzler recalls his teenage journey to find the person he is without losing the family that loves him. It's a story about losing your faith and finding your place and your own truth--which is always stranger than fiction.

Revelations of the Rapture
Author: Beverley-Anne Bear
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1524682357
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 92
Book Description
On my search for finding the meaning of life, I made the most amazing discovery, which is what this book is all about. I discovered how to remember who we truly are and how to reconnect to God, Creator of all that is, the source of all life. Life is a journey. As we travel along the road, discovering life, we realize that there is no road map for life, just a moment-by-moment discovery of selfdiscovering who we are and, more excitingly, who we want to be or become. This book has taken me over ten years to write since I had a powerful, prophetic dream in August 2005. I have been on a personal journey of discovery and of immense growth since then, resulting in all the beliefs that I had since a young girl to be turned upside down. If anybody had told me what I know today ten years ago, I would have argued with them and told them that they were being misled and would have considered it heresy. An age-old parable talks about an old beggar who was sitting on a box at the side of the road. When a stranger came walking past, the beggar asked the stranger for some spare cash. The stranger replied that he had no money to give him but then asked the beggar what was inside the box that he was sitting on. The beggar replied that it was an old box that he had been sitting on for as long as he could remember and that he had never looked inside as it was surely empty. The stranger encouraged him to open the box and to look inside, which the beggar duly did, only to find that the box was filled with gold. All these years, this beggar has been begging for money and eating scraps of food or any morsel that he could find, while if he had only looked inside, he would have realized that he was extremely wealthy. The first few chapters of this book are written with an extremely religious tone due to the fact that I was writing from my belief at that time. However, this is not a religious book. You will notice how my beliefs change as the book unfolds. This book has been written from my belief, which I believe God revealed to me through many hours of studying the Bible, praying, and listening to the still small voice within. I had many hours of quiet time with God. I am sharing information with you that I have gathered on my personal journey, but what you do with this information is up to you, as you always have a choice.

The Rapture of the Saints
Author: Herbert Lockyer

ISBN: 1629117412
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 107
Book Description
If you knew that within the next twenty-four hours Christ would return, according to His promise, what would you change? Legendary Bible teacher Herbert Lockyer examines what Scripture has to say about the second coming of the Lord, emphasizing the signs of the coming, the hope of the church, the attitude of the believer, and the features of constant readiness. In an era when the second coming has been sensationalized, reduced to ridicule, used as an excuse for domination, or forgotten altogether, Lockyer’s calm and clear exposition of pertinent passages, including 1 Thessalonians 5, is a refreshing reflection on Christ’s certain appearing.

Changing Chauvinism One Book at a Time Imagine men whom have suffered some of the same travesties that women have suffered Yes, men that are intuned with their emotions; who are abused, cheated on, and heartbroken. Imagine husbands and boyfriends lied to, kicked out and unsupported. Imagine an unattended spouse, a sensitive thug, and a scorned gentleman. Women bashing? My experience in writing Changing Chauvinism One Book at a Time, comes from the internal hurt and pain; emotionally, that I have suffered. Ive been in love. Ive hurt others and have also been hurt by others. Yet, during the painful times, no woman would trust in my emotions. Leaving me to become abandoned by someone in whom I really loved. The agony of the matter was that, she was apparently under the impression that I wasnt hurting, I didnt nor dont, care. When in actually, I was torn inside. My experience, I believe, allows me firsthand to write and describe the myths behind these clichsThat real men DO experience emotions; has fears, doubts, and all the struggles and strengths that our ancestors possessed. Yes! We are a new breed of men, who loves harder and with an urgency and passionbecause, our understanding is that when we contribute to any endeavor or love; it strengthens us! It never weakens; it is always invested and brings some type of return. Men are human too, needing to be put on a neither more powerful, nor less sensitive, pedestal. Although our Y-Chromosome proves to be strong; our X-Chromosome allows us to feel, love and show compassion. My tales are of that of broken men, of suffering or suffered, man. The what is going on Inside of a man, that which we can hide, yet not ignore.
