Book Description
Seeing an opportunity, or should I say "an open door," the author accepts it as an invitation to do something. With boldness and compassion he steps in "where angels fear to tread," doing things that no one has ever done, and experiencing God's miracles along the road. As the reader is drawn into each story, he will experience adventure, sympathy, excitement, tears, and laughter. In this book you will meet people, important people, like Mitsuo Fuchida and Richard Wurmbrand and Peter Dugulescu-all who greatly influenced the author's life. But you will also meet some little-known people: some lepers and some gypsy children, a mechanic named Ray Hill, and a young couple who made a daring escape from bondage. You will read about smuggling-for God's work-and you will experience the excitement of many adventures as this author stepped through the doors God opened.

The Purpose Driven Church
Author: Rick Warren

Languages : en
Pages : 401
Book Description
The issue is church health, not church growth—if your church is healthy, growth will occur naturally. So how do we make healthy churches, driven by purpose? In order for any church to thrive, it must be built around the five New Testament purposes given to the church by Jesus Christ. In this classic of Christian church stability, pastor and bestselling author of The Purpose Driven Life Rick Warren unpacks this proven five-part strategy that will enable your church to grow: Warmer through fellowship. Deeper through discipleship. Stronger through worship. Broader through ministry. Larger through evangelism. Every church is driven by something. Tradition, finances, programs, personalities, events, seekers, and even buildings can each be the controlling force in a church. But Warren will show you how to concentrate on building people and let God build the church. In other words, healthy, consistent growth is the result of balancing the five biblical purposes of the church. And The Purpose Driven Church will show you how to do that. “The Purpose Driven Church has brought focus and direction to more pastors and church leaders than you can count. What a gift!”—John Ortberg, bestselling author.

My Walk with God

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
"Take my life or change it," Milta Velez declared to a God she had just met. With this statement, she challenged God while standing at the altar with a gun in her purse. She grew up in Manhattan at a time when women's liberation was born. She sought her identity in the nightclubs of New York. With five disastrous relationships, she was following in the footsteps of the Samaritan woman when Jesus touched her and saved her life. Tired and desperate, she surrendered to Jesus. During her walk with God, she struggled with the conversion of being a Christian because she didn't believe in miracles, until the day she decided to put Jesus to the test. Her first granted miracle enabled her to purchase her first home without any credit or collateral. Milta soon discovered that anything is possible in the name of Jesus. And that a dreamer in the hands of God can accomplish great things. Milta sets an example of what one can accomplish when one surrenders their hopelessness to God. Today she owns a travel agency, a restaurant, and the property.
