Book Description
What if God wants you to wait? Most of us know what it’s like to wait for God to change our circumstances. But, whether we’re waiting for physical healing, emotional breakthrough, or better relationships, waiting is something we usually try to avoid. Why? Because waiting is painful and hard. The truth is, it’s also inevitable. In Still Waiting, Ann Swindell explores the depths of why God wants us to wait by chronicling her own compelling story of waiting for healing from an incurable condition. She offers a vibrant retelling of the biblical account of the Bleeding Woman that parallels her story—and yours, too. Let Ann help you see the promise that is hidden in the ache of waiting and the hope of what God can—and will—do as you wait on him.

Languages : en
Pages : 127
Book Description
Shame lies to us, robs us of the freedom we long for, and shackles us in the prison of our past. To the feelings of shame in our lives, author and teacher Christine Caine has something urgent to say: shame has no place in the purpose, plan, and destiny God has for you. Do you ever struggle with the fear that you are not enough? Are you ever afraid to let your true self be seen and known? Are you often trying to gain approval? Do you want to break the power of shame in your life? In this five-session video Bible study (DVD/digital video sold separately), Caine shows how God heals us and redeems us by weaving examples from her life with those of women and men from the Bible who failed but ultimately overcame their shame. In her passionate style, Christine Caine wants to show you a way out of shame by helping you rediscover the power of God to overcome our mistakes, our inadequacies, our pasts, our limitations...to make way for us to discover our unique purpose and powerful destiny. Sessions include: Run, Don't Hide – Identifying the types of shame and laying open the effects and sources of shame. Today Is the Day – How do we actually begin the process of recovering from shame? Posses Your Inheritance – Opening our eyes to the very real and present power Jesus Christ has over shame. What God wants us to experience instead and how. God Never Wastes a Hurt – How God uses our wounds for our good and how we can learn to see it his way. Highly Unlikely – The enemy's tactics vs. God's methods. How looking at the stories of those in the Bible provide a way forward for us today. God has already won the victory over sin and shame, and we do not need to spend our lives believing lies. Instead, we can be defined by God's truth and choose to see ourselves the way God does--through the lens of his eternal perspective. So join the journey. You can live unashamed!
