Book Description
As Christians we are often told blessings come in many disguises. This book is about receiving a backwards blessing. Even though I thought God was not listening to me, I somehow knew deep in my heart that God was carrying me through the darkness that gripped my soul. The Backwards Blessing is author Beverly Weisbach's personal story of misery and affliction. She reminds us not to be anxious about anything even when you feel like your life is completely out of control. By faithfully trusting God Beverly describes a painful experience in her life. This true story will help readers recognize the importance of trusting God in and for everything and it will help the reader recognize the importance of never losing hope, because The Backwards Blessing you are waiting for might be a backwards glance behind you. Author Beverly Weisbach was inducted into the Honor's Edition Registry for Cambridge Who's Who Among Professional Women in Writing and Publishing in 2007 and again in 2009. Beverly lives in Arkansas and enjoys spending time with her wonderful grandsons Damien and Collin and where Beverly is currently working on her sixteenth book.

Christians often say, "In Jesus' name" to close their prayers. But is this truly a desire of the heart or a perfunctory "Yours Truly" to God? Bryan Chapell says we should begin our prayers in Jesus' name-we should be Praying Backwards.

The Blessings of Business
Author: Darren E. Grem
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199927987
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
The Book of Matthew cautions readers that "Ye cannot serve God and mammon." But for at least a century conservative American Protestants have been trying to prove that adage wrong. In The Blessings of Business, Darren E. Grem argues that while preachers, activists, and politicians have all helped spread the gospel, American evangelicalism owes its enduring strength in a large part to private enterprise. Grem argues for a new history of American evangelicalism, demonstrating how its adherents strategically used corporate America--its leaders, businesses, money, ideas, and values--to advance their religious, cultural, and political movement. Beginning before the First World War, conservative evangelicals were able to use businessmen and business methods to retain and expand their public influence in a secularizing, diversifying, and liberalizing age. In the process they became beholden to pro-business stances on matters of theology, race, gender, taxation, trade, and the state, transforming evangelicalism itself into as much of an economic movement as a religious one. The Blessings of Business tells the story of unlikely partnerships between well-known champions of the evangelical movement such as Billy Graham and largely forgotten businessmen like Herbert Taylor, J. Howard Pew, and R.G. LeTourneau. Grem also shows how evangelicals set up their own pro-business organizations and linked the quarterly and yearly growth of "Christian" businesses to their social, religious, and political aspirations. Fascinating and provocative, The Blessings of Business uncovers the strong ties that conservative Christians have forged between the Almighty and the almighty dollar.
