When You Don't Like Your Story
Author: Sharon Jaynes
Publisher: Thomas Nelson
ISBN: 1400209714
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
Bestselling author, cofounder of Girlfriends in God, and writer for Proverbs 31 Ministries Sharon Jaynes reveals the secret to living a better story: understanding that the worst parts of our past are the very things God uses most. Many people don't like the story God is writing in their lives. The mistakes, failures, tragedies, and circumstances outside of our control linger in our minds and hold us back. How do we come to grips with the pieces of our stories that we wish weren't there? How do we silence the pain of what has been done to us and the shame of what we've allowed to be done through us? In When You Don't Like Your Story, Bible teacher Sharon Jaynes shows us how God untangles our most painful emotions with the fingers of grace, putting his redemption on display. In the hardest parts of our narratives, we get to see God's greatest work--and this changes the ending of our stories. As we overcome shame, offer forgiveness, and use our stories to help others, we find freedom from the past and learn to live in the restoration of the present.

Can you hear Me now? The Story Of An Unlikely Invitation
Author: Jake Moran
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1300830530
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 129
Book Description
This is an admittedly abnormal book. To confess, I'm not sure if I can legitimately call this a 'book'. This is probably more of a chronicle than anything else. The events and instances recorded in what you're about to read are as accurate as I can describe them and recall them. I've tried to keep things free from embellishment, because the reality is this: when God is involved in the story, you just don't need to do a whole lot more than write it down. If nothing else comes of this, I hope you will see with a new degree of clarity, as I have, that Jesus is the King of and in and through the valley just as much as He is King of and on and over the mountain top.

The Story Until Now
Author: Kit Reed
Publisher: Wesleyan University Press
ISBN: 0819573507
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 465
Book Description
The best stories from a master of speculative fiction Called "one of our brightest cultural commentators" by Publishers Weekly, Kit Reed draws from life—with a difference. This new collection brings together thirty-four of her strong, original stories, from early classics like "The Wait" and "Winter" to six never-before-collected short stories, including "The Legend of Troop 13" and "Wherein We Enter the Museum." An early favorite, "Automatic Tiger," is the first in a series of Reed's stories about animals. There's a monkey who grinds out bestsellers with the help of a "creative writing" app. Her uncanny black dog can enter a crowded room and sit down at the feet of the next man to die. Her characters confront war in various arenas: mother/daughter battles, the war of the sexes, the struggles of men scarred by war. Kit Reed's self-described "transgenred" fiction is confirmation of an "extraordinary talent" (The Financial Times). The range and complexity of her work speaks for itself in The Story Until Now.

Jimmy Jones is the guv'nor of comedy. He was the first adult comedian to break big in the UK. His uncompromising act made him a hero to hundreds of thousands of blue collar Londoners.

The Rolling Stones, the Nice, the Small Faces, Iron Maiden and Status Quo were among the many stars who flocked to his gigs. The Beatles played his tapes on their tour bus. His fans included fellow comedians Dudley Moore and Chubby Brown and soap star Martine McCutcheon. In a long and successful career Jones has told jokes to Michael Jackson, entertained the Kray Twins and performed for a surprising number of Royal Family members -- Prince Charles, Prince Philip and Princess Margaret. TV bosses hated him but Jimmy's outrageous comedy made him a millionaire by his 40s. Not bad for a kid from the rough end of Essex who grew up thinking he'd become a priest.
