Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Each year, there are nearly a million people who commit suicide, with anywhere between ten million to twenty million attempting. About thirty thousand people each year in the United States kill themselves. The most tragic part of these statistics is that suicide is often preceded by serious depression, which is a treatable disorder. It is because of these saddening statistics that author Kingsley Nwokoma seeks to share with those facing thoughts of suicide the amazing grace of God and His Son, Jesus Christ. Through Kingsley's book, Suicide: Jesus to the Rescue, he wants to get you to believe that God loves you and He is willing and able to rescue you from suicidal thoughts when you say yes to Jesus. The Lord's love is abundant and available to everyone; by accepting Jesus, He will love you eternally, and even when you feel alone, He will be with you. Though bringing the Lord into your life will not instantly solve your problems, through His support and love, He can help you overcome feelings of depression and suicidal thoughts. God can help you rise to greatness in Him just as He has done many times in the Bible with others who have faced suicidal thoughts. Jonah and Job--both men were tempted to suicide, but they instead returned to God and followed His guidance to do great acts. Suicide: Jesus to the Rescue can help you find this same power to overcome your suicidal thoughts.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - There is a longing deep in our being for connection.to others.and I believe, to our Creator. A hope for something safe and satisfying. One that brings completeness and joy into this human experience we are each having. God means for us to have that longing become a reality. Like us, He deeply desires connection. His pure motive of love and His complete ability to do so meets our longings and our incomplete ability. Magic happens. My hope is that you might catch a glimpse within these poetic attempts, of the magnificent One beyond the face in a manger whose hand is reaching out to touch your face. May some of these words be part of that tender touch. Annette has lived in Traverse City Mi. most of her adult life. Her interest in poetry began early in life and her own musings were scattered about in journals, on scraps of paper, napkins and whatever material might be nearby when inspiration hit. She began to pull together some of these disjointed jottings into forms while taking a college poetry workshop with the hope that someone might be inspired by them as she has been through other's writings. Annette won first prize in a writing contest at that college for her poem, 'Midwinter's Dream' and also just recently won 3rd prize in Xulon Press's January 2019 writer's contest for her poem, 'Unsilent Night'.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This book is about many things, things like politics, war, society, history, power, and even love. But most of all it is about what it means to be human in a deeply troubled world. You may think this is too ambitious a goal for such a little book. And you may be right. But then again, what goal was ever achieved without reaching for it Besides, in this age of giant fart storms what harm can there be in having a little book burst a few bubbles So my friend, I invite you to join Don Quixote and I in our quest for the truth. Who knows You may even find some truths of your own. Part I - The World: Lacking coherence - that balance that gives weight to the meaning of things - the world forces us to go deeper into the meaning of things or risk becoming labels in the shallow waters of discord. Part II - America: America is adrift in a sea of euphemisms. Ambiguities cloud the agenda, and answers multiply like rabbits. Solving this riddle won't be easy, but it has to begin with a language that resonates more than it agitates. Part III - Life: What has happened to the meaning of life Is it nothing more than a time-clock that keeps ticking away until our shelf-life expires Of course not - don't be silly - only our minds fell asleep. So welcome back my friend to the gauntlet of life. Part IV - Three Miscellaneous Pieces: These poems are meant for everyone. Let the poems speak for themselves and you will find in them the simple images that contemplate the innumerable pleasures of life. Having been born in a rooming house in Detroit in 1937, it was no wonder that I would learn that life could be equally beautiful or equally horrible. A contradiction that created in me an insatiable desire to learn more about the world around me. So I became a social worker - something that put me directly in the line of fire of what it meant to be human. Then came the family - that journey of unfathomable problems and exorbitant beauty. Finally, there is you my dear reader, who is at the end of dreams and the beginning of reality.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - In order to see the Silver Lining in any given situation, one must have Hope, Vision, Faith in God, Yourself, and others. Without Hope, life would be without purpose. Without Vision, no direction. Without Faith in God, no foundation for anything to be based upon.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Pray, Believing may best be summed up in the words of Jesus Christ as recorded by St. Mark 11.24 'Therefore I tell you, whatsoever ye ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours'. These words also found in the Gospels of St. Matthew and St. John are also found in the catholic letters of St. John and St. James, and are evidence of its importance to God for its pleasing attributes and to the Christian who seeks that faith which moves mountains. When embraced the Christian prayer is empowered with the awesome, humbling gift of service to God, to one's neighbors, and to one's self. This major theme is developed throughout this small book together with a definition of God's will; when waiting for God is necessary; and the root meaning of such words as 'will' and 'to wait' in both the Hebrew and Greek Testaments. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; font: 14.0px 'Adobe Garamond Pro'}The author has written three previous books.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - I discovered that the spiritual philosophy of Osteopathic Medicine was contrary to my Christian faith. 'There is no question as to whether there can be a spiritual element within osteopathic medical care,' writes one of the representatives of the American Osteopathic Association (AOA). 'A core tenet of osteopathic medicine is that: 'The body is a unit; the person is a unit of body, mind, and spirit.'' Finally, there was acknowledgement that osteopathy had its own spirituality. This was a happy moment for me reading those words in November of 2014. There really is no question. There is and can be a spiritual element in osteopathic medical care. I spent two years trying to get the American Osteopathic Association (AOA) to understand I could not be one of their members because the philosophy and practice of osteopathy was spiritual. By being a member of the AOA and practicing osteopathic principles, I would be violating my own religious beliefs. It was a wonderful moment when they got it. Now the question was, would they accommodate me and find a way for me to renounce osteopathic religious spiritual thought and keep my allopathic/scientific (traditionally called MD) medical training. The answer was a resounding no! The reason, I later discovered, is that the National Board of Osteopathic Medical Examiners (NBOME) has wed that spiritual element to my training, license, and all domains of patient care. -- Karen Melton, Physician 'This book reveals an insider's view of the world of osteopathic medicine and shines a bright light on aspects of the underlying philosophy that are sure to startle and alarm the reader. This is a must-read for any Christian who seeks healthcare standards that originate in the teachings of the Divine Physician.' -- Susan Brinkmann, OCDS.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - I have placed my 'pastor's ponderings' in this book as a result of the encouragement of friends and acquaintances. The premise and hope of this devotional book are that it will facilitate a deeper spiritual walk for all who read it.

Each devotional encourages the reader to be a better Christian, to attend church more regularly, to study the Bible more, or to grab hold of some other spiritual insight or discipline. It is my desire that this book will be used by the Holy Spirit to enlighten the readers of their spiritual weaknesses in order to be brought closer to God. If this happens, I will consider it a success. For you are saved by grace through faith, and this is not from yourselves; it is God's gift. Ephesians 2:8.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Paul tells King Agrippa and Festus about Jesus Christ and about his own life-altering experience with him, and Festus tells Paul he is beside himself. Paul says he speaks 'words of truth and soberness' about matters well-known to them because 'this thing was not done in a corner' (Acts 26:25, 26). Facing a Festus at every turn today, many believers fail to hold their ground. Instead, they present a puny faith in a halting manner to a skeptical world with a predictable result. Believers and nonbelievers begin to sound alike, as they struggle to hash out some agreed-upon fiction to promote unity. It is bracing to have the example of Paul who, whether in favor or in fetters, stood fast in the 'faith once delivered to the saints' and proclaimed it without apology wherever he went. Inspired by his courage and driven by a similar intention, these essays address readers familiar with the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, none of which was done in a corner, and in truth and soberness, urge them to adhere to the authentic message they have been given and to deliver it in a credible, Christ-honoring way.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'The Christian Soldier' is a side by side reference of military experiences and history to that of a Christian Soldier. We often refer ourselves to being a Soldier in God's Army but not everyone has military experience. This book was inspired by an actual personal experience that left me wondering if we were in a warzone and this occurred how many people would be sent to the brig (military prison). The Apostle Paul gives several spiritual scriptures and references on our Christian walk with the walk of one of a soldier. Whether you were in the military or not, this book helps to reflect and understand not only these scriptures better, but also helps us to reflect on our walk with Christ as a Christian Soldier. The greatest tool a successful Marine has is discipline. 'Discipline is Instant and Willing Obedience to Orders, Respect for Authority, Self-Reliance and Teamwork' we learned this saying in 1st Phase in Marine Bootcamp. Discipline is a multi-definition word usage. It takes discipline to wake up at 0400 in the morning to run and exercise but it is needed to stay in shape in the Marine Corps. It is just as necessary to wake up early for your devotional time with God every day to stay in Spiritual shape as a Christian. This is just one example we can compare as a soldier to our walk with Christ. The Comparison of the military soldier to a Christian Soldier is an insightful and amazing way to compare our walk with Christ. Whether you are a strong Christian and want to challenge your walk to a greater level or a new born again Christian to examine where you would like to begin your walk and how to live a successful Christian Life, this book fits every spiritual level.…

Neuware - The radical whirlwind that swept the Sixties and early Seventies not only impacted the arena of politics and the arts but also altered the way in which we viewed our human condition and our place in the universe. This is story of a fortuitous encounter that turned into an adventure; a spiritual odyssey into the land of the mushroom people - the Mixtecos, living up in the highest point of the Sierra Madre del Sur in the state of Oaxaca. Inspired by the books of Carlos Castaneda, a group of young men took their soul search into the cloud forest of Southern Mexico hoping to find some answers. What they found was another version of the pre-Colombian philosophy made famous by don Juan in the works of Castaneda; their ideas of our human condition and our place in the universe forever altered by the impact of such an experience. A must read by the readers of Castaneda.
