Book Description
Servants of Christ are in the transformation business. This kind of transformation will only happen if we refuse to be seduced by false idols like success, money, fame and security to become the church we were called to be. We need to take ownership of the problems around us and work with people who are suffering in order to find solutions and offer lasting change. In No Ceiling to Hope, Patrick travels the globe to find examples of this change: In Bolivia, he reports how Christian backing for education projects is allowing families to find a way out of poverty. In London, XLP is mentoring young people to turn aside from violence. In Los Angeles, a new future is being offered to gang girls. In high security prisons in the UK and US, the Spirit is turning lives around. In Belfast's Shankill Road area, a group of elderly ladies is cooking meals for men who sit all day in local pubs . . . The list is extensive, and inspiring. The common element is that, in all circumstances, Christ is offering hope. Be inspired afresh that, when it comes to what Jesus can do, there really is no ceiling to hope.

Book Description
"In Hopeless, Sky left no secret unearthed, no feeling unshared and no memory forgotten, but Holder's past remains a mystery. He is haunted by the little girl he let walk away from him and he has spent his entire life searching for her. He had hoped that he would finally gain closure and be able to rid himself of his guilt the moment they were reconnected. But he could not have anticipated that the exact opposite would occur and even more guilt and regret would be thrust upon him. Sometimes in life, if we wish to move forward we must first dig deep into our past and make amends with it. In Losing Hope, readers will learn what was going on inside Holder's head during all those moments that left him feeling hopeless and see whether he can perhaps gain the peace he desperately needs"--

Journey to Conciousness

Publisher: Author House
ISBN: 1477270647
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 223
Book Description
Who am I?...is the eternal question that this book explores and seeks to uncover. Not just for the proud owner of its pages, but for everyone that is to come in contact with the diversity and richness of its content. This book is rare and unlike any other in that it is more than a book of poetry, but rather a reference tool poetically written recording over a decade of everyday experiences and life observations. Blending humor, passion and drama, these experiences are now being used as a vibrating conduit by which we can all begin to explore our innermost thoughts, feelings and motivations. By being honest with ourselves and exposing both our talents and flaws, the author challenges us to reach beyond our everyday limitations leading to that decisive moment when we are clear about what we want to do...and what we don't want to do. Speaking in a variety of voices and personalities, the author conveys his message in a down to Earth language that's easy to relate to. Bonding author to reader we turn the pages and discover a common thread, what is my purpose...why am I here? This is the focal point that slowly begins to echo and cast a shadow. What's the key to discovering the answer? Our Journey to Consciousness!

Finding Hope and Meaning in Suffering
Author: Trystan Owain Hughes
Publisher: Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge
ISBN: 9780281062492
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
Everyone suffers at some time or other - it's simply a part of life. But however bad things seem, we are never completely helpless. For the deeply affirming truth is that we can choose how to respond to adverse circumstances. In this lively and engaging volume, Trystan Owain Hughes suggests that learning how to suffer and how to wait patiently may be the secret of finding joy in our lives. Diagnosed with a degenerative spinal condition, he was surprised to discover that, instead of increasing his unhappiness, it spurred him on to seek out sources of hope and meaning. In the first part of the book, the author encourages us to embrace the practice of 'awareness' and 'acceptance' in our daily lives, so we may take a step back from our anxieties and worries and rest in the love of God. He then explore five areas where that love may be found in the midst of pain: in nature, memory, art, laughter and other people. By learning to reflect on our experiences in these areas, by becoming conscious of the echoes of the transcendent, we will gain new strength. And paradoxically, through facing our suffering, learn to truly live.
