Moving Mountains
Author: John Eldredge
Publisher: Thomas Nelson

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
New York Times best-selling author of Wild at Heart John Eldredge offers readers a step-by-step guide to effective Christian prayer. How would it feel to enter into prayer with confidence and assurance—certain that God heard you and that your prayers would make a difference? It would likely feel amazing and unfamiliar. That’s because often our prayers seem to be met with silence or don’t appear to change anything. Either response can lead to disappointment or even despair in the face of our ongoing battles and unmet longings—especially when we don’t know if we’re doing something wrong or if some prayers just don’t work. New York Times bestselling author John Eldredge confronts these issues directly in Moving Mountains by offering a hopeful approach to prayer that is effective, relational, and rarely experienced by most Christians. In a world filled with danger, adventure, and wonder, we have at our disposal prayers that can transform the events and issues that matter most to us and to God. Moving Mountains shows you how to experience the power of daily prayer, learn the major types of prayers—including those of intervention, consecration, warfare, and healing—and to discover the intimacy of the cry of the heart prayer, listening prayer, and praying Scripture. Things can be different, and you personally have a role to play with God in bringing about that change through prayer. It may sound too good to be true, but this is your invitation to engage in the kind of prayers that can move God's heart as well as the mountains before you. Moving Mountains is also available in Spanish, Mueve montañas. To dive deeper into the Moving Mountains message, the Moving Mountains study guide and video study are available now.

To the Elephant Graveyard
Author: Tarquin Hall
Publisher: Grove Press
ISBN: 0802158382
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
“Introduces us to the darker side of the Asian elephant. It is more of a thriller than a straightforward travel book . . . insightful and sensitive.” —Literary Review On India’s northeast frontier, a killer elephant is on the rampage, stalking Assam’s paddy fields and murdering dozens of farmers. Local forestry officials, powerless to stop the elephant, call in one of India’s last licensed elephant hunters and issue a warrant for the rogue’s destruction. Reading about the ensuing hunt in a Delhi newspaper, journalist Tarquin Hall flies to Assam to investigate. To the Elephant Graveyard is the compelling account of the search for a killer elephant in the northeast corner of India, and a vivid portrait of the Khasi tribe, who live intimately with the elephants. Though it seems a world of peaceful coexistence between man and beast, Hall begins to see that the elephants are suffering, having lost their natural habitat to the destruction of the forests and modernization. Hungry, confused, and with little forest left to hide in, herds of elephants are slowly adapting to domestication, but many are resolute and furious. Often spellbinding with excitement, like “a page-turning detective tale” (Publishers Weekly), To the Elephant Graveyard is also intimate and moving, as Hall magnificently takes us on a journey to a place whose ancient ways are fast disappearing with the ever-shrinking forest. “Hall is to be congratulated on writing a book that promises humor and adventure, and delivers both.” —The Spectator “Travel writing that wonderfully hits on all cylinders.” —Booklist “A wonderful book that should become a classic.” —Daily Mail

The Elephant in the Room
Author: Tommy Tomlinson
Publisher: Simon & Schuster
ISBN: 1501111620
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
ONE OF NPR’S BEST BOOKS OF 2019 A “warm and funny and honest…genuinely unputdownable” (Curtis Sittenfeld) memoir chronicling what it’s like to live in today’s world as a fat man, from acclaimed journalist Tommy Tomlinson, who, as he neared the age of fifty, weighed 460 pounds and decided he had to change his life. When he was almost fifty years old, Tommy Tomlinson weighed an astonishing—and dangerous—460 pounds, at risk for heart disease, diabetes, and stroke, unable to climb a flight of stairs without having to catch his breath, or travel on an airplane without buying two seats. Raised in a family that loved food, he had been aware of the problem for years, seeing doctors and trying diets from the time he was a preteen. But nothing worked, and every time he tried to make a change, it didn’t go the way he planned—in fact, he wasn’t sure that he really wanted to change. In The Elephant in the Room, Tomlinson chronicles his lifelong battle with weight in a voice that combines the urgency of Roxane Gay’s Hunger with the intimacy of Rick Bragg’s All Over but the Shoutin’. He also hits the road to meet other members of the plus-sized tribe in an attempt to understand how, as a nation, we got to this point. From buying a Fitbit and setting exercise goals to contemplating the Heart Attack Grill in Las Vegas, America’s “capital of food porn,” and modifying his own diet, Tomlinson brings us along on a candid and sometimes brutal look at the everyday experience of being constantly aware of your size. Over the course of the book, he confronts these issues head-on and chronicles the practical steps he has to take to lose weight by the end. “What could have been a wallow in memoir self-pity is raised to art by Tomlinson’s wit and prose” (Rolling Stone). Affecting and searingly honest, The Elephant in the Room is an “inspirational” (The New York Times) memoir that will resonate with anyone who has grappled with addiction, shame, or self-consciousness. “Add this to your reading list ASAP” (Charlotte Magazine).

Praying to God Our Father
Author: Julie Tofilon
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781796238723
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 118
Book Description
The three most important questions in life are 1) Is there a God? This determines our eternal address: Heaven or Hell. 2)What is He like? This determines our identity--made in His image. Gen 1:27 3)What does He expect from me? This determines our destiny and purpose. These are the most important questions in life because what we believe and who we follow determines how we live here and where we will live in our eternal life--including our rewards and future job. Life is too short and you're too valuable to waste your time and talents on temporary things or pleasures in exchange for eternal joy in the presence of God for His glory! For what profit a man to gain the whole world, but lose his soul? Mk 8:36 This guide will help you systematically examine 52 of His character traits and over 52 lists of almost every aspect of one's life to pray for, such as finding the right spouse, house, and even a computer mouse :). This instruction will give you the maturity you need in character, decision-making, and skill. Although we are made in His image, this image needs to be developed. It's not fully developed upon birth or being born again in Him. This diagnostic tool will give you a spiritual tune-up and help you reset your moral compass to the "true north" of God's standards for right living. May it help you honor Who you were meant to honor and be all that you were meant to be and do, so the whole world may know of His greatness. (Psalm 67) Life is too short, you're too valuable and God is too good for you to waste your life on meaningless pursuits and poor character. We don't want to just live between the regrets of yesterday and the fears and worries of tomorrow. God has a clear path for our lives known only to Him and waiting to be revealed to you. It all starts with discovering His nature in us. You can try to discover your life's purpose in other ways, but none will achieve the kind of results from communicating and learning from the One who created you. The author of a book develops the characters and knows the end of the story. Will you call on Him today and begin this journey of a lifetime? He loves you! It's your choice. To know Him is to love and trust Him. How can you trust someone you don't know? You wouldn't even date someone you've never met or hardly knew. Yet many people don't believe in God or don't trust Him, but they never took the time to get to know Him and pay attention to the still small voice in their soul that quietly and continually longs for Him-- your loving Father/Creator. Everyone is going to live somewhere forever. Do you know where you are going to be living? What you believe now will determine it. "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment." Heb 9:27 Are you ready? Read this book and do the research. Your eternal life in heaven or hell depends it. See you soon. In Christ's love... Tom

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
Prayer has long had an action component to it. There are many ways we can pray that involve our senses and our bodies. Journaling, skipping rocks, drawing, singing, touching, dancing, even walking can be acts of prayer. William Tenny-Brittian, himself diagnosed with adult ADHD, goes back to ancient times and into the techno-generation to share ten types of kinesthetic prayer that will help even the most fidgety connect with God. He has filled Prayer for People Who Can't Sit Still with ideas, easy-to-follow instructions, and ways to adapt kinesthetic prayer to most any situation and "personal limitation." Kinesthetic prayer can also have profound effects on the prayer life of children and youth. Prayer for People Who Can't Sit Still is a valuable resource in children's and youth ministries, helping these action-oriented age groups to find ways to build relationships with God. A relationship takes time together, says William Tenny-Brittian. Prayer for People Who Can't Sit Still is written to help you spend more meaningful time with God.
