Love, Mercy & Grace
Author: Keren Baltzer
Publisher: GuidepostsBooks
ISBN: 9780824934323
Category : Christian life
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
A powerful new collection of stories about God's will being done on Earth, in the lives of His people. We all need grace. Without it we'd never come to Christ in the first place. But being a Christian is more than just coming to Christ. It's ultimately about growing and becoming more like Jesus. Grace is at the heart of the gospels. The message Jesus came to spread was, and still is, Grace. Readers will be soothed by tales of redemption, joy, understanding and comfort. The story of a young woman estranged from her family who becomes reunited with them in a most unconventional way; the lost hiker who somehow miraculously finds his way back home; the elderly couple who get into a horrific accident with a drunk driver and manage to come out of it without a scratch. Sometimes it happens mightily, and other times it's a struggle. But the stories will strengthen readers' faith in a God who wants us to work through Him.

A Call to Mercy
Author: Mother Teresa
Publisher: Image
ISBN: 0451498224
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 386
Book Description
Published to coincide with Pope Francis's Year of Mercy and the Vatican's canonization of Mother Teresa, this new book of unpublished material by a humble yet remarkable woman of faith whose influence is felt as deeply today as it was when she was alive, offers Mother Teresa’s profound yet accessible wisdom on how we can show mercy and compassion in our day-to-day lives. For millions of people from all walks of life, Mother Teresa's canonization is providentially taking place during Pope Francis's Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy. This is entirely fitting since she is seen both inside and outside of the Church as an icon of God's mercy to those in need. Compiled and edited by Brian Kolodiejckuk, M.C., the postulator of Mother Teresa’s cause for sainthood, A Call to Mercy presents deep yet accessible wisdom on how we can show compassion in our everyday lives. In her own words, Mother Teresa discusses such topics as: the need for us to visit the sick and the imprisoned the importance of honoring the dead and informing the ignorant the necessity to bear our burdens patiently and forgive willingly the purpose to feed the poor and pray for all the greatness of creating a “civilization of love” through personal service to others Featuring never before published testimonials by people close to Mother Teresa as well as prayers and suggestions for putting these ideas into practice, A Call to Mercy is not only a lovely keepsake, but a living testament to the teachings of a saint whose ideas are important, relevant and very necessary in the 21st century.
