Book Description
Christmas was beautiful at our home that year, just like that glorious first Christmas when Jesus was born. He came to save us from our sins, but what about our sorrows? Two days after Christmas, my precious son Jacob died in an accident. The Holy Spirit had already prepared me, but still I wept what seemed like a million tears. Like Rachel, my voice rose up in “lamentation, weeping, and great mourning . . . weeping for her children, refusing to be comforted, because they are no more” (Matthew 2:18). The weeping of Rachel is first noted in Jeremiah 31:15 during a time of captivity for God’s people. Many are taken captive by sin, addictions, rebellion against God, and the pain of injustices. Yet I have found that no matter what your loss, you can stop weeping and begin to live again. If you put your faith in him, God will give you beauty for ashes.

Book Description
Max reappeared in the doorway of the inn, and the crowd on deck shouted in delight as he stopped, bowed to his audience, and took a huge gulp from the open bottle. Gretchen shuddered against Helgas shoulder, and Hermies fist pounded the rail as he muttered between clenched teeth, Come on, Papa. Its all right. The captain will wait. Paul breathed into his cupped hands. The ship began its laboring surge as the black, swirling water of the Weser River churned up waves that grew from undulating ripples to frothy caps. Still Max whirled and danced and tipped his bottle as he headed almost casually toward the departing ship. The laughter died, and in a body the crowd began coaxing him to jump, make one mad leap, to entertain them one more time. Helga pulled the children tighter against her, holding them, willing them not to watch. And then Max jumped, tossing the empty bottle into the water as his body floated, suspended, arms extended, fingers spread, wildly grasping for the slowly arching rail. His face suddenly twisted to disbelieving shock as his fingers missed their grip, and he dropped like a slender arrow straight down into the roiling, icy water without causing the slightest splash. After three long months at sea, Helga Heinrich and her four children sail into the thriving Indianola seaport on the Texas coast in 1853 to begin a new chapter.

Blind Faith
Author: Mark Dowdy with Michelle Dowdy
Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 1098045742
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 179
Book Description
Blind Faith is the story of a boy who didn't need to see to believe. Mark Dowdy was born blind, with only light perception and a vague sense of shape to form his concept of the environment around him. Music was his friend from the beginning, helping him to bridge the gap between his clouded perception and the sighted world. In Blind Faith, you will read about a boy who knew the heartache of thirteen failed eye operations by age ten, as well as the thrill of performing his music before thousands at the same time. At age fifteen, Mark became the first blind Eagle Scout in the state of Georgia while simultaneously watching his friends getting their driver's licenses and coming to the realization that he would never be able to drive a car. Then at age thirty-seven came the prayer that changed everything and a surgery that would give him a chance to see the world as never before. Would this surgery be different? Would Mark get the opportunity to see his wife and small children and the world around him with greater clarity? Read Mark Dowdy's inspiring journey from believing to seeing-and trusting God with his past, present, and future.
