Book Description
Cat's dearest friend, Brian, was not one of Doug's favorite people. Trouble followed him around. He was driving at the time of the crash. Now Cat would never be the same. Not as good as new, the doctor said. She's going to need help from all of you. In a moment, life unraveled. Dad said they might even lose the house. So he took a promotion to district manager--one he didn't want, since it meant more time away from home. And Doug gave up his dream of college, took a job, and watched his girlfriend, Jill, head off to college as planned. Then came the questions. The accident happened out on the Hannegan--a road the opposite direction from the mall, where they were supposed to be headed. And the policeman said Cat didn't have her seat belt on. But she always wore her seat belt. She remembered fastening it. Better if I'd died said Cat from her wheelchair. But then she met Jase. And he introduced her to the marathon. Doug and Cat discover that with God's help they can transcend their pain; that life can bloom again. This is a story of hope for all who face loss and ask, why me?

The Pressure's Off
Author: Larry Crabb
Publisher: WaterBrook
ISBN: 0307730530
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 370
Book Description
You can stop trying to get everything right. Is the pressure getting to you? Do you try to make everything work, only to find that your best efforts are largely ineffective? Christians have unknowingly embraced two errors: that following the rules guarantees a good life, and that God is important because He dispenses blessings. When God’s blessings seem to taper off and when life doesn’t work out, people take it upon themselves to make things work. And that creates pressure that we are all too familiar with. In The Pressure’s Off, best-selling author and counselor Larry Crabb introduces you to the New Way of living. God does not guarantee ease or convenience—or even a good outcome as the result of your obedience. But he does promise himself, no matter what the circumstances of your life. When you seek God and nothing else, the pressure truly is off you. Workbook included!

Exploring Worship Anew
Author: Pamela Ann Moeller
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1725227029
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 190
Book Description
In search of a way to worship that is relevant today and into the twenty-first century, Moeller proposes an approach based on the "great commandment" to love God and one's neighbor as oneself. With special attention to the time, space, sounds, sights, touches, and symbols that form the context of every worship service, she argues for a collaborative approach to the worship service in which the participants are involved from preparation to celebration. Illustrating this highly evocative, thoroughly feminist theology of worship is a sample service that pays particular attention to how the process and design of worship impact the experience of the worshipers.
