As a young bride, Jennifer Smith couldn’t wait to build her life with the man she adored. She dreamed of closeness, of being fully known and loved by her husband. But the first years of marriage were nothing like she’d imagined. Instead, they were marked by disappointment and pain. Trapped by fear and insecurity, and feeling totally alone, Jennifer cried out to God: What am I doing wrong? Why is this happening to us?

How did God miraculously step in during the darkest hour to rescue and redeem them, tearing down the veil once and for all?

2 Corinthians
Author: V. George Shillington
Publisher: MennoMedia, Inc.
ISBN: 0836198123
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 262
Book Description
V. George Shillington sees this letter as Paul's personal testimony about his ministry of reconciliation among the Corinthian Christians (chapters 1-9) and his ministry in defending the truth of the gospel (chapters 10-13). The thread that ties the two parts together is Paul's conviction on pastoral ministry under the banner of Christ. Paul insists that ministry is to be borne in affliction like that of Christ crucified. In raising the crucified Messiah out of the old creation, God has inaugurated a new creation, in which believers already participate. The only boast allowed is in the Lord, not in one's own achievements or elevated experiences.

The Secret
Author: Byron Preiss
Publisher: ibooks
ISBN:
Category : Games & Activities
Languages : en
Pages : 1
Book Description
The tale begins over three-hundred years ago, when the Fair People—the goblins, fairies, dragons, and other fabled and fantastic creatures of a dozen lands—fled the Old World for the New, seeking haven from the ways of Man. With them came their precious jewels: diamonds, rubies, emeralds, pearls... But then the Fair People vanished, taking with them their twelve fabulous treasures. And they remained hidden until now... Across North America, these twelve treasures, over ten-thousand dollars in precious jewels, are buried. The key to finding each can be found within the twelve full color paintings and verses of The Secret. Yet The Secret is much more than that. At long last, you can learn not only the whereabouts of the Fair People's treasure, but also the modern forms and hiding places of their descendants: the Toll Trolls, Maitre D'eamons, Elf Alphas, Tupperwerewolves, Freudian Sylphs, Culture Vultures, West Ghosts and other delightful creatures in the world around us. The Secret is a field guide to them all. Many "armchair treasure hunt" books have been published over the years, most notably Masquerade (1979) by British artist Kit Williams. Masquerade promised a jewel-encrusted golden hare to the first person to unravel the riddle that Williams cleverly hid in his art. In 1982, while everyone in Britain was still madly digging up hedgerows and pastures in search of the golden hare, The Secret: A Treasure Hunt was published in America. The previous year, author and publisher Byron Preiss had traveled to 12 locations in the continental U.S. (and possibly Canada) to secretly bury a dozen ceramic casques. Each casque contained a small key that could be redeemed for one of 12 jewels Preiss kept in a safe deposit box in New York. The key to finding the casques was to match one of 12 paintings to one of 12 poetic verses, solve the resulting riddle, and start digging. Since 1982, only two of the 12 casques have been recovered. The first was located in Grant Park, Chicago, in 1984 by a group of students. The second was unearthed in 2004 in Cleveland by two members of the Quest4Treasure forum. Preiss was killed in an auto accident in the summer of 2005, but the hunt for his casques continues.

Times and Seasons
Author: Uboho Bassey
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1669826899
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 452
Book Description
In her fourth collection of poems, Uboho turns her attention to the Times and Seasons of our existence - the inescapable transitions between our experiences. Sometimes people will step into a scene of your life and think they know the whole story, but the scene is not the entire story. The present scene is nothing but a phase you pass through. Don't stop the story just because you don't like the scene. It may be just a chapter of your book. It is not your destination. While grappling with the desire to find meaning in life’s journey, we find the truth in the book of Ecclesiastes: "To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven." God has enacted certain eternal principles regarding time. In congruence with nature, we all experience the four seasons of Summer, winter, autumn, and spring. In this book however, the times are represented as waiting, wilderness, waring and winning seasons. Times and Seasons is written to remind you that your dreams, praise, hope, faith, and love can carry you through every phase, every season of your life. You hurt and you heal, you build and release, and it’s all part of the same process: it’s life. Whether you are in a season of stagnation or expansion, each season is a signal that you’re not stuck. And even though you’ll lose some things, like the trees lose their leaves in fall; you’re strong enough to keep going long after you think you can’t. Our individual paths are unique and when you understand time and season, you will envy no one. If you want to know how your present season is evolving, or why the last one had to end, or when the next one is coming - read these poems. Let them ground you in the truth that every single shifting season brings with it new life, another chance and an experience you are here in the world for.
