God of All Comfort
Author: Hannah Whitall Smith
Publisher: Anamchara Books
ISBN: 193363085X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
Hannah Whitall Smith knew firsthand the world's darkness and grief-but she was confident that "somewhere and somehow God [was] going to make everything right for all the creatures He has created." Her writings have often been censored to remove the more "heretical" portions, but her only heresy is her belief in Divine love, a love stronger than any obstacle. As a mother, she knew how much she loved her children-and she could not believe that God's love could be weaker than her own. "I began to see that the wideness of God's love was far beyond any wideness that I could even conceive of. . . if I took all the unselfish love of every mother's heart the whole world over, and piled it all together, and multiplied it by millions, I would still only get a faint idea of . . . the mother-heart of God." -Hannah Whitall Smith

Choosing Joy
Author: Dan Lord
Publisher: Our Sunday Visitor
ISBN: 1612782752
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 83
Book Description
What is joy? Ask ten different people and you'll get ten different answers. Yet if you asked: a man who grew up fatherless and destitute in the slums of Atlanta a young widow who decided to bring a neglected garden back to life in spite of agonizing physical pain and a deeply wounded spirit or author Dan Lord himself, ex-frontman for a popular indie rock band each would point to the one source of their joy: Jesus. They made the choice for joy, against all odds, and so can you, though the obstacles might seem insurmountable. Worry and anxiety, pain and suffering, the daily grind -- all these and more can block your path. When faced with such challenges, is it possible to get past the barriers, let go, and experience God's joy? When you look around, you might wonder -- although joy is a fruit of the Spirit, it doesn't seem to be hanging visibly from many Christian boughs. Choosing Joy aims to change that -- and change your life in the process -- as it helps you discover the key to this most attractive but seemingly elusive gift. Choosing Joy will help you overcome the obstacles and focus your heart, mind and strength on God so that you can receive the happiness and peace that the world cannot give.

Hoping for Happiness
Author: Barnabas Piper
Publisher: The Good Book Company
ISBN: 1784985465
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 142
Book Description
Everyone wants to be happy, and we all pursue happiness in different ways. Some people are thrill-seekers; others are homebodies. Some people are loners; others love big families or communities. Some people express things creatively; others consume what is created. Some sing; others listen to music. Whatever we find happiness in, we are united by our desire for work that matters and relationships that fulfil. As Christians, we often fall into the trap of basing our hopes on earthly things, even when we know they only make us happy for a short time. But how are we to experience happiness in this life? How do we avoid expecting too much of earthly things and being disappointed, or expecting too little and becoming cynics? In this book, recovering cynic Barnabas Piper helps us to throw off both the unrealistic expectations that end in disappointment and the guilty sense that Christians are not meant to have fun. He shows how having a clear view of the reality of the fall and the promise of redemption frees us to live a life that's grounded, hopeful and genuinely happy.
