Chasing Love
Author: Sean McDowell
Publisher: B&H Publishing Group
ISBN: 1087707307
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 150
Book Description
The music we listen to, the movies we watch—they're all telling us to keep chasing love, and that we'll finally be happy when we find it. But is love really all we need? The love that the world tells us to pursue is all about self, about following your heart’s desires. But what is the Christian worldview on love? When we follow Jesus, we realize that he invites us to reorient the focus of our lives, so instead of chasing love primarily for our own happiness, we are first and foremost to give love—to God and to others. In Chasing Love, Sean McDowell will invite readers into Jesus’ radical, upside-down approach to love, and in doing so, he’ll answer some of the toughest questions we’re asking about love today: How does Jesus speak to singleness? What does the gospel say about LGBTQ issues? Can sexual sin truly be forgiven? What if I’m not happy in my marriage?

Take on God
Author: Jennifer Maag
Publisher: Balboa Press
ISBN: 1982276487
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 239
Book Description
Everyone is struggling with an internal battle of some sort. They may choose to suppress and ignore it, or they may choose to work on it, but first they must acknowledge that it is there. As empaths, authors Jennifer and Alexander Maag resonate with the stories and experiences of others by way of feeling. That is, they feel other people’s emotions on a deeper level. They came to realize they are both highly sensitive and intuitive individuals. While tuning into their gifts and understandings of the world around them, they found healing, expression, and gratitude for their lives. The experiences they shared are both optimistic and heartfelt. This book aims to applaud God while encouraging self-discovery, growth, and healing outside of the box of modern religion. Take On God came from notes and journal entries written while searching for answers and healing. It became something like, “Dear diary, I am going through spiritual awakening.” Life is a series of dramas that unfold each day. Throw some past-life traumas into the mix, and you’ve got Take On God.

Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 297
Book Description
Chasing Slow models HGTV star Erin Loechner's journey to help you break out of the faster-better-stronger trap and make small changes to refresh your perspective, renew your priorities, and shift your focus to what matters most. You're here, but you want to be there. So you spend your life narrowing this divide, and you call this your race, your journey, your path. You live your days tightening your boot straps, wiping the sweat from your brow, chasing undiscovered happiness just around the bend. And on and on you run. Viral sensation and HGTV.com star Erin Loechner knows about the chase. Before turning 30, she'd earned the title "The Nicest Girl Online" as she was praised for her authentic voice and effortless style. Her HGTV web show garnered over one million fans worldwide, and her client list includes Walt Disney World, IKEA, Martha Stewart and Home Depot. The New York Times applauded her, her friends and church admired her, and her husband and baby adored her. She had arrived at the ultimate destination. So why did she feel so lost? Through a series of steep climbs--her husband's brain tumor, bankruptcy, family loss, and public criticism--Erin learns just how much strength it takes to surrender it all, and to veer right into grace. In Chasing Slow, Erin upgrades her life through downsizing--her stuff, her obligations, her fears, her personal metric of "perfect." And ultimately, her invitation becomes yours: to turn away from the fast and frenzy, and find freedom in a new-fashioned lifestyle defined by grace. Life's answers are not always hidden where they seem. It's time to venture off the beaten path to see that we’ve already been given everything we need. We've already arrived. You see? You'll see.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 696
Book Description
If you met Arun when he first came to Kandra, and said that one day he’d sit beside a pool in a clearing and tell the story of his life, he wouldn’t thank you for it. Stories and poems belonged to a past he’d worked very hard to forget. And if you told him his audience would be Night itself, he’d probably laugh and walk away. Then again, if you’d met him when he was thirteen years old and said that instead of becoming a farmer like his father, he’d find himself on an extraordinary journey that would take him far from his hut in the valley to places he could never have dreamed of, he wouldn’t have believed you either. Although he’d have liked the idea; he’d always longed for the glamour and excitement of the wider world. His older self knew better. That journey was no quest for high adventure but a shattering of everything he’d ever known. From desert plains to fabled cities, he’d embark on a desperate search that would change his life utterly. He’d discover the value of friendship, and the meaning of home and family. And he’d learn the hardest lesson of all: that love and happiness come at a terrible cost. And if you sit beside Arun as he finishes his tale, he’ll tell you there is nothing more to say. He’d be wrong. There is a decision to be made, one final choice that could transform his life. But will he have the courage to make it? This moving and beautiful novel about a young man's search to find his family takes the reader on an emotional journey through a timeless and richly imagined world
