God's Favorite Place on Earth
Author: Frank Viola
Publisher: David C Cook
ISBN: 1434705587
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
When He came to earth, Jesus Christ was rejected in every quarter in which He stepped. The Creator was rejected by His own creation. “He came to His own and His own received Him not,” said John. For this reason, Jesus Christ had “no where to lay His head.” There was one exception, however. A little village just outside of Jerusalem named Bethany. Bethany was the only place on earth where Jesus was completely received. God’s Favorite Place on Earth is a retelling of Jesus’ many visits to Bethany and a relaying of the message it holds for us today. Frank Viola presents a beautifully crafted narrative from the viewpoint of Lazarus, one of the people who lived in Bethany with his two sisters. This incomparable story not only brings the Gospel narratives to life, but it addresses the struggle against doubt, discouragement, fear, guilt, rejection, and spiritual apathy that challenges countless Christians today. In profoundly moving prose, God’s Favorite Place on Earth will captivate your heart with its beauty, charm, and depth. In this book you will discover how to live as a “Bethany” in our world today, being set free to love and follow Jesus like never before.

No More Faking Fine
Author: Esther Fleece Allen
Publisher: Zondervan
ISBN: 0310344778
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
Scripture reveals a God who meets us where we are, not where we pretend to be. No More Faking Fine is your invitation to get honest with God through the life-giving language of lament. If you've ever been given empty clichés during challenging times, you know how painful it is to be misunderstood by well-meaning people. When life hurts, we often feel pressure--from others and ourselves--to keep it together, suck it up, or pray it away. But Scripture reveals a God who lovingly invites us to give honest voice to our emotions when life hits hard. For most of her life, Esther Fleece Allen believed she could bypass the painful emotions of her broken past by shutting them down altogether. She was known as an achiever and an overcomer on the fast track to success. But in silencing her pain, she robbed herself of the opportunity to be healed. Maybe you've done the same. Esther's journey into healing began when she discovered that God has given us a real-world way to deal with raw emotions and an alternative to the coping mechanisms that end up causing more pain. It's called lament--the gut-level, honest prayer that God never ignores, never silences, and never wastes. No More Faking Fine is your permission to lament, taking you on a journey down the unexpected pathway to true intimacy with God. Drawing from careful biblical study and hard-won insight, Esther reveals how to use God's own language to come closer to him as he leads us through our pain to the light on the other side, teaching you that: We are robbing ourselves of a divine mystery and a divine intimacy when we pretend to have it all together God does not expect us to be perfect; instead, he meets us where we are There is hope beyond your heartache, disappointment, and grief Like Esther, you'll soon find that when one person stops faking fine, it gives everyone else permission to do the same.

God Knows My Heart
Author: Christine Wicker
Publisher: St. Martin's Press
ISBN: 1250089166
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
When a Christian fundamentalist-turned-scoffer becomes the senior religion reporter for one of the nation's top newspapers, she and God find themselves on a collision course. As her journey begins, Christine Wicker knows God primarily as "the source you never get to interview." Despite this, she pursues Him anyway and begins to glimpse a God she hasn't dared hope might exist. She finds Him in unlikely places--the ceremony of a Wiccan coven, an East German shop window, a Northern Ireland breakfast table. To her grumpy amazement, she also finds Him in a place she swore she would never again look--the confines of a Southern Baptist church. It's a hard trip with surprising turns, but in the end Wicker finds a faith that answers the soul's call without ignoring the world's realities.

Messages from the Master

Pages : 772
Book Description
This devotional is unlike any that you have ever read. In it, you are taking a journey with me (a fellow Believer) as you and I navigate the daily ups and downs of a Christian's life. God never promised us that this life on earth would be easy. To be truthful, He said in John 16:33, "In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." He also never promised us that we would always receive the answer to our prayers immediately. To be exact, there are over 101 scriptures in the KJV Bible that tell us we should "wait" on the Lord. Facing trials and waiting on God are both handled best when you have a friend. Through the words found in this daily devotional, you will find a companion for these times in your Christian life. You will find a fellow Believer who knows that life can be hard, but who also realizes that laughter and a deeper relationship with God make it so much easier. God said that our Christian walk would be better when shared with a friend or brother. As a fellow Christian, you and I are sisters and brothers in Christ. Through that relationship, it is my desire that in this journey together that you will learn more about God, gain a deeper understanding of His Word, build a deeper and more intimately personal relationship with Him, and that you will realize that you never walk alone. God saved us for a purpose. Sharing this journey with you is mine. Let's get started.
