Book Synopsis Bumping into God by : Dominic Grassi
Download or read book Bumping into God written by Dominic Grassi and published by Loyola Press. This book was released on 2010-06 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People look for God's presence in many places. They gather in the basilicas of Rome or at the red rocks in Sedona. I find God's presence quite nearby-in the magnificent complexity of the human person. -Dominic Grassi We bump into God's grace every day in all kinds of humorous, serious, mysterious, random, and sometimes completely unlikely ways. This charming collection of thirty-five stories reveals one person's myriad encounters with God in both the mundane and extraordinary moments that make up our days. This is not a book about ideologies, but about people. . . . There are miracles and ordinary moments to celebrate, grace and joy to share, silly folk and saints to relish. -Dominic Grassi A natrual storyteller, Dominic Grassi invites readers to share his warm memories of life in Chicago over the past five decades. He shows how God is reflected in the people we meet every day: a butcher, a bookstore owner, a short-order cook. With rich and often funny descriptions of human triumphs and struggles, laughter and tears, youthful pranks and quiet maturity, Grassi uncovers grace in the most unexpected places. Stories such as Wisdom Teeth and Window Washers and Thumping Watermelons help us see not only moments of grace in Grassi's life but also times when we too have unexpectedly bumped into God.

Book Synopsis On My Way Home I Bumped into God by : Raymond J. Golarz
Download or read book On My Way Home I Bumped into God written by Raymond J. Golarz and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2016-11-10 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book the authors use stories to take you on a journey that explores the strategies God uses to ensure that we come His way. The stories are often gentle, portraying, for example, the innocence that can occur only in childhood, or the pure joy that is experienced when a child recovering from a brain tumor comes home to stay. But the stories can also be graphically disturbing as is seen in the description of a factory co-worker whose arm is crushed in a massive press or the horrific depiction of the senseless beating of an adolescent child. However, all the stories will show how God acts directly or indirectly in our lives. As you read, you will see Gods unexpected presentation of Himself in the form of a Chicago beggar and His warm presence in the eyes of a younger brother. Other stories reveal that God never gives up on us, placing in our lives people who teach us about the strength, wisdom, compassion, and courage needed to love and finally come home to Him. Unlike what some of us may have been taught about a God of vengeance and power, this book focuses upon a God of compassion and boundless love and upon the patient heart of the Father aching for response, the Lover who without reciprocation continues to love. Chapter after chapter, examples are given to show how God is constantly sweeping and making clear our path to Him. From the time of our birth, we are all on our journey home. In the opinion of the authors, those nudges and bumps we feel on the way are never accidental. They are the prodding and pushing of a God who simply refuses to let us go, a God who is the consummate lover.

Timeless mysteries begin to unravel even as skepticism and temptation conspire to keep the truth hidden. From the streets of Manhattan to a quiet harbor on the Long Island Sound, from a chessboard where the Light and Dark forces face off to the final revelation, Tony finds salvation in the unlikeliest of ways. Inspired by actual events, How I Got Lucky and Bumped into God is a thought provoking and touching account of how an act of kindness can change the destiny of a man and how the love a boy has for his Father can save them both.

Book Synopsis Saints Under Construction by : Jeffrey A. Klick
Download or read book Saints Under Construction written by Jeffrey A. Klick and published by Dr. Jeffrey A. Klick. This book was released on 2012-11-04 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saints under Construction is a mentoring book but might be better described as a discipleship book. God designed the older, more experienced saints to instruct the younger ones in order to cover new ground and avoid old mistakes and previous pitfalls. One purpose of mentoring or discipling is to challenge the thought process of those that are following us (or in the case of a book, reading our words). We all think and we all act out those thoughts minute by minute as we walk through our day. But do our thoughts really line up with Scripture? Saturated with Biblical references, this book lays a multifaceted foundation to build a strong faith and life for Christ and help expand, renew and refine our thought process. From how to properly read and understand the Scripture, to wondering if Paul wore a toga, you will encounter many thought-provoking ideas and challenging concepts. As you read Saints under Construction, you will be drawn closer to Christ. The Christian life is a journey full of pleasure and pain, but God is our Father and the Master Craftsman and He does not make junk or mistakes. We are His handiwork, and God is not finished with us yet. We are a work in progress and He will complete it!

Book Synopsis Reclaiming the Lost Art of Biblical Meditation by : Robert J. Morgan
Download or read book Reclaiming the Lost Art of Biblical Meditation written by Robert J. Morgan and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2017-04-04 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight. — Psalm 19:14 Do you long to deepen your intimacy with the Lord? To find a sense of soul-steadying peace? To develop emotional strength? Then you will need to pause long enough to be still and know He is God. Trusted Pastor Robert Morgan leads us through a journey into biblical meditation, which, he says, is thinking Scripture—not just reading Scripture or studying Scripture or even thinking about Scripture—but thinking Scripture, contemplating, visualizing, and personifying the precious truths God has given us. The practice is as easy and portable as your brain, as available as your imagination, as near as your Bible, and the benefits are immediate. As you ponder, picture, and personalize God’s Word, you begin looking at life through His lens, viewing the world from His perspective. And as your thoughts become happier and holier and brighter, so do you.

Book Synopsis Living Your Life, While Trusting God with Theirs by : Mary Lynn Ludwig
Download or read book Living Your Life, While Trusting God with Theirs written by Mary Lynn Ludwig and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2014-08-12 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you have a teenager or adult child whose difficulties seem to be preventing you from living your life? We are not responsible when they choose the wrong path. We are not responsible to carry them if they take drugs or commit crimes. Even when they have a disease such as mental illness, we cannot carry this load for them. Do you feel guilty as if you can’t do enough to help? Do you question what you didn’t do right or what you did wrong? Are you compelled to somehow make this right? You can be freed from this false belief and start living your life. God does not hold you responsible. Galatians 6:5 says, for each one should carry his own load. Taking on others’ responsibilities is not being a good person; it is enabling the person and preventing them from growing as a person. It is important to know what you are responsible for and what you are not. My son Bradley had paranoid schizophrenia. It was serious and I had to learn new ways to cope and help him. Much of what I needed to learn was to give it to God and then find people to help me. After ten years of Brad in several apartments, group homes and the mental health complex, he passed – my son died due to his medication that ruined his heart. I stand only by the grace of God. In this book, I impart to you what has helped me.
