Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This book is written by a broken woman during her husband's adultery and pending divorce. She had a choice to make to either remain angry and bitter or to depend on God to get her through the heartache. God is the only answer and He has provided her with His strength to forgive her husband. Although the divorce is still pending and outward signs appear that she remains in the valley, God has given her an overwhelming peace that He is in total control. God has taught her to live each day with Him as her focal point. She finally realizes that she does not need to know the future because God is in total control and He will carry her through anything. During this trial, she realizes how hardened society has become. Our current divorce rate, broken families, churches splitting, and so many hurts, are evidence of just how far we have turned away from God. However, it is NEVER too late with God. We need to examine our own hearts and turn back to God. It is time for a revival and it must start from within each of us. Despite all of the hurt in the world today, we can have total and complete faith that God will not only carry us through but He will also bring us to the mountaintop, if we let Him.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - These messages were written from ideas that God gave me from a variety of settings. Some messages came from ideas I heard during church sermons, Christian broadcasting, crusades, reading books, events that have happened, my own personal experiences, the Bible, and a mission trip to Africa. Key words or phrases would be said or read about during these different settings and then God would inspire me to write about what was heard or read. Some ideas came from personal experiences and then confirmed by other messages that were being preached. I write down almost every message that I hear preached at Church, or at the Crusades. The final inspiration to write this book came from my circumstances at church. I had a lot of messages ready to preach, but was not having an opportunity to preach them. I was starting to get bitter and God inspired me to put these messages in a book and said the messages would reach a lot more people this way. I heard the call and did what God called me to do and now I am better not bitter. I have been a Christian since I was thirteen and a practicing Christian since I was twenty four. Duties in the Church have included: singing in the Choir, leading praise and worship, teaching Junior High and Adult Sunday School, Lay Leader Committee, Finance Committee, Superintendent of Adult Sunday School, Education Chair, Certified Lay Speaker, and Youth Counselor. God has called me to teach, preach, go on a mission trip to Africa, and now write this book. Please help get these messages out to the world. May God richly bless you! Sincerely, Eric England. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free' (John 8:32, NIV). From Jihad to Jesus is a powerful testimony of a Sunni Muslim's encounter with Jesus Christ. This supernatural phenomenon shook her life and transformed it forever. Everything she was looking for in Allah but never found came alive and manifested through faith in Jesus Christ. This story is a compelling and straightforward examination of truth and deception. It urges Muslims to consider the answers to pertinent questions such as the following: - What if you could live your life and know that you would spend eternity with God without having to die in jihad - What if you could have a relationship with God and know Him as a loving Father who cares for you and accepts you-not a God who considers you a mere servant having to work your way into His good graces - What if you could have peace of mind, no matter your deepest fear, hurt, or despair All of these are promises given to the children of God when they enter into covenant with Him through faith in Jesus Christ. In this book, the author encourages women in particular to arise and take back their lives from the thief who has told them they cannot make it. With God, all things are possible-even recovery from physical, emotional, and mental abuse. The author shares her very personal story of abandonment to encourage other women that they, too, can escape from hopelessness and have lives of destiny and purpose. Abuse is not the victim's fault, nor is it God's plan for anyone's life. Jesus died that we might be victorious and live full of joy, peace, and prosperity. May the truth in From Jihad to Jesus help you begin the healing process in your life towards becoming completely whole.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - When I celebrated my 85th birthday, I determined to put in writing the miracles of my life and ministry. As I counted the many miracles of God's grace, not only for me, but for my family and the persons whom I was privileged to serve, the more I reflected upon the way the Holy Spirit has led and worked through all these years, and the more I felt compelled to put this in writing so that others might be blessed and challenged, as I have been during all of my life. I knew God's hand was upon my life when I was told the story of the miracle of my birth, and I determined to share it with our children, our grandchildren, and now our great-grandchildren, so they would know the good news of God's marvelous grace, and of the way He has worked in my life and has supplied every need. I also wanted the people with whom I have ministered, as well as those with whom I have worked hand-in-hand, to know how they have encouraged me and have been such a blessing to me. John L.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Doubtless it gives the greatest possible offence to common sense or reason, that God, Who is proclaimed as being full of mercy and goodness, and so on, should of His own mere will abandon, harden and damn men, as though He delighted in the sins and great eternal torments of such poor wretches. It seems an iniquitous, cruel, intolerable thought to think of God; and it is this that has been a stumbling block to so many great men down the ages. And who would not stumble at it I have stumbled at it myself more than once, down to the deepest pit of despair, so that I wished I had never been made a man. -Martin Luther (Luther, Martin, The Bondage of the Will, Fleming H. Revell Co., 1957, pg. 217) Whether some Christians actually delight in what is commonly known as Calvinism or not I do not know, but I do know that many struggle with it. This book is for those who struggle. Come and enjoy the Good News of the simple message: God loved the world so much that He sent His Son, not to condemn it, but to save it. It is His pleasure to reconcile all things to Himself through the blood of Christ. He is not willing that any perish, but that all come to repentance.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - My Pastures of Many Colors, A Diverse Journey to Godly Healing is a story based on the true-life experiences of the author, Ruth Heras. During the course of her Christian life, Ruth discovered that emotional damage in childhood could block individuals from living normal adult lives. Taking key information from her own childhood abuse, from negative behavioral repercussions occurring in her adult life and the lives of her marital family members, and from studies on emotional health, she intricately links the connection among the mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual life of an injured person. Enlisting the use of an analogy format, Ruth creatively composes and poignantly lays out words of startling imagery to tell and explain her own unbelievable life story in print. It is a dark, hidden story that formulated from a dramatic, colorful dream she had, wherein she was represented by a mysterious half-human sheep. The story opens with AMAC, the main character in the story, telling her friend Faithful the vivid dream she had. At that point, AMAC, a devoted Christian who has lived her life in a state of emotional bankruptcy, apathy, and indifference, is desperately seeking truth, peace, and joy. So begins her mission, a quest that began in a compelling dream, taking her on a journey she had no desire to take. Not since the analogy of the whimsical Paul Bunyan has a story so thoroughly captivated and challenged the minds of its diverse audiences by use of the imagination. Here is an innovative drama of suspense and mystery that will be hard to set down. Ruth Heras has two adult children and eight grandchildren. She resides amid the beautiful landscapes of the Pacific Northwest, where she ministers to individuals of similar backgrounds.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'God Can!' by Jay B. Ayers has enough cliff hanging exploits to keep you on the edge. It has been said that faith represents things not seen but miracles can be visible. There is plenty of evidence of both within these pages. The only miracle witnessed by many might be childbirth, but Jay B Ayers cites numerous events that even a skeptical world would describe as beyond the laws of probability. His landscapes are varied--USA, Canada, Africa, Mexico and Belize. But the stories have a consistency similar to the Word of God from which he often quotes. Regular Bible readers will recall the parable of the Pearl of Great Price. A merchant sells all he has to acquire a rare pearl he considers more valuable than everything. We all have such a pearl within us. For some it's becoming President; for others it might be hitting 300 in the major leagues. For Jay B. Ayers it is seeing the lost get saved, the believer encouraged, and the Lord exalted; this is his story.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - These are times that cry out for true leadership in the Body; the type that unites and mobilizes. It is a leadership of sacrifice, whose practitioners refuse to acquiesce to the safe places that fall short; or be seduced by the rule of power or the rule of profit that lures those called by His Name into the intrigues and games played by the world. They are a remnant whose calling is directly from God; not presumption, ambition or any other quest emerging from the heart of man. These are the ones with the leadership mantle of Joseph and Daniel, who are facing the realities, paying the cost and faithfully stewarding their callings of bringing forth God's Kingdom. These are the ones who will themselves receive the keys to release His Kingdom in their domains. These are the ones with the heart of a King. The author was recently described by a long-time associate with these words: 'Morris Ruddick heads several organizations and corporate entities, including Global Initiatives Foundation, The Ruddick Int'l Group, and a global intercession network. He has led development of entrepreneurial activities in critical needy areas and brought together business and ministry in several nations, including the Messianic Jewish community in Israel, as well as in Africa, Asia, Afghanistan, Belarus, Russia and other areas of need.' Mr. Ruddick's Kingdom agendas reflect a unique merging of the secular and the spiritual. He sums it up as 'an interlinking of secular business enterprises with overriding Kingdom objectives.' Since 1995, Mr. Ruddick has been a voice encouraging and mobilizing Kingdom business leaders and entrepreneurs.…

We lived the passions of our printed heroes, especially those whose hearts were summoned and spent in Africa. With those true tales, God seeded a vision, planting us in vastly different fields where only He could be glorified for the harvest. This is His story and hers, told with the same compelling power that first stirred us.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - I was eight. As was her habit, my mother left me every Saturday night at her friend's house so she could go dancing. Although it often scared me to be alone, I could look forward to her tucking me in and kissing me goodnight. After she left, the scent of her perfume would linger in the air, permeating the whole room. I fell asleep enveloped by her fragrance, and I felt safe. This compilation of ten stories relays how women's influence can permeate a life, just like a lingering perfume. The Bible says: 'Thanks be to God, who always leads us in His triumph in Christ, and manifests through us the sweet aroma of the knowledge of Him.' (2 Corinthians 2:14-16). As God's fragrance permeates each believer, and she can in turn disseminate His delicate scent to those around her, bringing opportunities to influence for His glory and honor. K.
