Book Description
Four women, one weekend, and their lives will never be the same. Stephanie London thought she'd heard from God when she moved to Hope Springs, N.C. But a tragedy in that small town left her soul desolate. Now her husband's inattentiveness has pushed her over the edge. Bereft of hope, she travels home to St. Louis as a women's ministry conference kicks off. Though less than enthused to attend, new friendships offer strength and light. But what happens when the weekend ends and real life begins again? Treva Langston grieves still the loss of her husband of twenty-two years. Now, two years later, her heart is breaking again as her oldest daughter's travails come to light. Traveling from DC to St. Louis for a women's conference seems the last thing she should do, given the circumstances. But in St. Louis her path crosses with someone new--and her world turns upside down. Will it only lead to more heartbreak? Jillian Mason can't wait to attend the Living Word women's conference. She's done their Bible studies for years and expects God to show up in an amazing way. But the weekend delivers something unexpected--a discovery about her husband. As the state of her marriage hangs in the balance, Jillian is suddenly anxious about returning home. Faith Langston has always been a girl after God's heart. She loves Living Word studies and registered early for the conference. But at the end of her college sophomore year, she finds herself in circumstances she never imagined--with a heart that has strayed from God. She makes it to St. Louis nonetheless, with her boyfriend in tow--but how will she find her way back to God? Four women in different seasons of life converge at a women's conference--with a theme that charges them to run "in hot pursuit" for Christ. But how do they run when challenges seem insurmountable? And can they help one another navigate the difficult terrain? "The author has a gift for bringing God's love and light into even the darkest situation." --Romantic Times (The Color of Hope)

When Governments Stumble
Author: Ben Freeth MBE
Publisher: Monarch Books
ISBN: 0857214837
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 113
Book Description
Ben Freeth established his credentials to write on this topic through his courageous and successful resistance to the bullying tactics employed by the Mugabe regime in Zimbabwe to throw him and his family off their land, a story told in Mugabe and the White African. He now throws his net wider to ask: what response should Christians make to corruption and injustice when perpetrated by governments? Justice is a fundamental aspect of the Judeo-Christian faith. Ben explores this theme through his own experience of government oppression in Zimbabwe, and through contemporary instances where Christians have ' or have not ' stood up to be counted. He considers the Biblical injunction to obey your rulers, and examines the issues of fear and complacency: sometimes Christians are compromised by their relationship with the ruling group. What is our duty? Most Christians feel powerless. What can we actually do, as individuals, and as a group?

Doors & Chambers
Author: Ric Steele
Publisher: Xulon Press
ISBN: 1613796862
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 302
Book Description
According to the Scripture, Romans 8:28 says- "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." The question is, how do all these things work out to our benefit? God is a God that declares 'The End' from 'The Beginning'. However we must understand that He is also a God of process. Doors and Chambers is a simple metaphor for understanding how God systematically moves His people through His paths of righteousness. Sometimes in life, it can become easy to lose sight that God's hand is upon us for our good and not evil. His Holy Spirit leads and guides us through the good times and the bad. Whether you a new Christian or have been saved many years, Doors and Chambers will help you gain insight into God's methods of bringing His saints to maturity. It is much easier to play the game when we know the rules. It is much easier to navigate through life when we understand God's process to take us from glory to glory. Learning to pursue His Will causes His blessings and supernatural enablement to be released. "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God." - Romans 8:14 Ric Steele is the senior pastor and founder of Due Season Christian Church International along with his wife, Kathy, located in Novi, MI. Dr. Steele oversees a network of ministries. Dr. Ric & Kathy Steele have ministered both locally and internationally. Dr. Ric & Kathy are also the founders of RISEN , an apostolic and prophetic training camp, held nationally. He has also authored a series on prophetic training and discernment.

Striking Out
Author: Donald Capps
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1610973003
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
Whatever religion may have meant to the boy when he was younger, in the teenage years it takes the form of a personal journey or quest. This journey is related to other aspects of his life and is integral to how he experiences himself and others. The title of this volume--Striking Out--has the connotation of the beginning of a journey that will take the boy in new directions, but it also suggests the baseball metaphor of a batter being called out on strikes. The first sense is positive; the second is negative. Together, they express the anticipatory and hopeful nature of the venture, but also the possibility that the undertaking may evoke feelings of fear, frustration, and failure. By focusing on real-life examples of teenage boys (both historical and contemporary), the book presents five typical manifestations of a boy's vulnerabilities as he sets forth on the journey: the stumbler, the struggler, the straggler, the straddler, and the stranger. It explores the ways in which these vulnerabilities may contribute in positive ways to his personal growth and his religious maturity. Throughout this book Gordon W. Allport's classic text The Individual and His Religion draws attention to the claim that a boy's religious sentiment may play a decisive role in the integration of his personality despite its inevitable disparities and uncertainties, and the real-life examples are presented as evidence that this religious sentiment provides direction and clarity of vision as the boy looks toward the future.
