Stepping Stones to the Father Heart of God
Author: Margaret Silvester
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781852406233
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 176
Book Description
Earthly fathers are meant to be windows on the father heart of God. Sadly, parenting can fall well short of this image. As a consequence we can have a poor interpretation of what God truly thinks of us and can spend our lives struggling with the symptoms of fear and insecurity. Today, more than ever, people have a love hunger which never seems satisfied, leading many searching in the wrong places to find fulfilment for their deep needs. One of the most defining aspects of Christianity, compared to other religions, is that God is also known as "Father." Jesus even instructs us to approach God this way through the Lord's Prayer. The revelation of the Father heart of God has for many been a major step on the road to true wholeness, and away from the anxiety of performance based striving to please God. As you move along the stepping stones described in this book, you will journey from a distorted self-image based on abandonment, neglect, rejection or abuse to an image based on the Word of God and revelation from the Holy Spirit - meaning you can finally remove your distance from God and experience the love and freedom there is to be had through a heavenly Father relationship.

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 318
Book Description
Addiction is a stealth predator. Unrecognized, it will grow and flourish. Unchecked, it destroys. Marilea Rabasa grew up in post-WWII Massachusetts in a family that lived comfortably and offered her every advantage. But they were also haunted by closely guarded family secrets. Alcoholism reached back through several generations, and it was not openly discussed. Shame and stigma perpetuated the silence. And Marilea became part of this ongoing tragedy. From an unhappy childhood to a life overseas in the diplomatic service to now, living on an island in Puget Sound, Stepping Stones chronicles Marilea’s experiences, weaving a compelling tale of travel, motherhood, addiction, and heartbreaking loss. The constant thread throughout this story is the many faces and forms of addiction, phantoms that stalk her like an obsessed lover. What, if anything, will free her of the masks she has worn all her life? An inspiring, poignant recovery story, Stepping Stones tells how Marilea took on the demons that plagued her all her life—and defeated them.

Book Description
Young Gabe's is a story of heartache and jubilation. He's a child slave freed after the Civil War. He sets off to reunite himself with his mother who was sold before the war's end. "Come morning, the folks take to the road again, singing songs, telling stories, and dream-talking of the lives they're gonna live in freedom. And I follow, keeping my eyes open for my mama. Days pass into weeks, and one gray evening as Mr. Dark laid down his coat, I see a woman with a yellow scarf 'round her neck as bright as a star. I run up to grab her hand, saying, Mama?" Gabe's odyssey in search of his mother has an epic American quality, and Keith Shepherd's illustrations—influenced deeply by the narrative work of Thomas Hart Benton—fervently portray the struggle in Gabe's heroic quest. Selected as a 2012 Skipping Stones Honor Book and for the 2012 IRA Teacher's Choices Reading List. A. LaFaye hopes Walking Home to Rosie Lee will honor all those African American families who struggled to reunite at the end of the Civil War and will pay her respects to those who banded together through the long struggle for freedom. She is the author of the Scott O'Dell Award-winning novel Worth and lives in Tennessee with her daughter Adia. Keith Shepherd is a painter, graphic designer, and educator working out of Kansas City, MO. His painting "Sunday Best" is part of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum's permanent collection. He describes his work as being "motivated by family, religion, history, and music."
