Book Synopsis Hope for the Journey: Reflections of God’s Faithfulness by : Richard Parrish MDiv
Download or read book Hope for the Journey: Reflections of God’s Faithfulness written by Richard Parrish MDiv and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-08-27 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even believers sometimes have doubts. Many followers have issues of faith at some point in their spiritual journeys. Some are content to ignore those questions, and eventually, their faith may wane. Even those who don't leave their churches do not have the spiritual lives they could have. Others, however, look to discover the reasons behind their doubts or other concerns and become stronger in their faith. In Hope for the Journey: Reflections of God's Faithfulness, author Richard Parrish MDiv helps believers work through their faith issues. Sometimes that requires a major overhaul of who we believe God to be. Through this devotional, Parrish shows us how to adopt a different view of the Deity and become closer to God, to know God, and not just in the religious sense. Questions for reflection help you think deeply about and internalize what you've read.

Little did she know the extent of some of the struggles she would suffer and share about, including facing cancer in one of her children. Marla may be ordinary, but she serves an extra-ordinary God. Your heart will be moved as you read how God carried Marla through everything and used the circumstances to bring her into a beautiful relationship with Him--the kind of relationship He also wants with you.

Download or read book Washed and Waiting written by Wesley Hill and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2016-09-13 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wesley Hill's personal experiences and biblical reflections offer insight into how a nonpracticing gay Christian can "prove, live out, and celebrate" the grace of Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit. For many who are on this path, it's a lonely one. The reality of loneliness and isolation of the celibate homosexual Christian is something that Hill lives and takes seriously in his pursuit of the gospel-centered life. To those on a similar journey, it's often a life of uncertainties and questions. In Washed and Waiting, Hill explores the three main struggles that have been part of his daily effort to live faithfully: What exactly does the gospel demand of gay and lesbian Christians, and how can it enable them to fulfill its commands? How do Christians who experience homoerotic desires live with the loneliness such desires entail? Is there any relief for it? What comfort does the gospel offer? Can those of us who struggle with homosexuality please God and truly experience his pleasure in the midst of sexual brokenness? Interspersed throughout these main sections are character sketches and stories of people who have experienced this journey's trials and triumphs. Hill offers wise counsel that is biblically faithful, theologically serious, and oriented to the life and practice of the church. As a celibate gay Christian, he gives us a glimpse of what it looks like to wrestle firsthand with God's "No" to same-sex sexual intimacy and contemplate serious and difficult questions.
Download or read book Washed and Waiting written by Wesley Hill and published by ReadHowYouWant.com. This book was released on 2010-11-29 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yet many who sit next to us in the pew at church fit that description, says author Wesley Hill. As a celibate gay Christian, Hill gives us a glimpse of what it looks like to wrestle firsthand with God's ''No'' to same-sex relationships. What does it mean for gay Christians to live faithful to God while struggling with the challenge of their homosexuality? What is God's will for believers who experience same-sex desires? Those who choose celibacy are often left to deal with loneliness and the hunger for relationships. How can gay Christians experience God's favor and blessing in the midst of a struggle that for many brings a crippling sense of shame and guilt? Weaving together reflections from his own life and the lives of other Christians, such as Henri Nouwen and Gerard Manley Hopkins, Hill offers a fresh perspective on these questions. He advocates neither unqualified ''healing'' for those who struggle, nor their accommodation to temptation, but rather faithfulness in the midst of brokenness. ''I hope this book may encourage other homosexual Christians to take the risky step of opening up their lives to others in the body of Christ,'' Hill writes. ''In so doing, they may find, as I have, by grace, that being known is spiritually healthier than remaining behind closed doors, that the light is better than the darkness.

Book excerpt: This book encourages Christians to recognize that the trials and challenges we face are not for our detriment or discouragement but for Gods glory, so that His Son may be glorified through them. Often when we face crisis and trials, we focus on issues that can distort our perception of ourselves, the situation, and Gods ability to work on our behalf. A negative perception coupled with our experiences can create barriers against the power of God in our lives. This book encourages individuals to stand strong and trust God through the process and to overcome fears, anxieties, and unbelief. This is your greater year! is a roadmap of hope for hope and faith. It highlights guiding principles and positive prayers that can help us navigate the storms of life to avoid being shipwrecked or consumed. It suggests an alternative understanding of journeying, of waiting on the Lord, and attests that delayed is not denied. The book also highlights the pivotal nature of prayer and praise with the knowledge that God is faithful to that which He has promised. A key guiding principle is to remain persistent toward purpose, trusting God to birth a new thing in your life and bless you with an abundant harvest, changing your season. It encourages Christians to be expectant, awaiting change with the understanding that staying strong and trusting in the Lord will produce dividends and move the Master to work on our behalf to turn things around. Get ready to live your greater year and life now!

Book excerpt: When Matthew was thrown in jail on July 21, 2001, I had mountains of feelings. I knew his life was coming to a boiling point. With drugs, alcohol, stealing and living the wild life he had chosen to live, it couldn't and wouldn't last long. Not with the promise God had given me for his life. This was a promise I was soon going to question. I would even question the very existence of a loving, kind God whom I had believed in all my life, and had raised my children to believe in. Soon, way too soon, my faith would be put to the ultimate test. Do I truly believe? Is He really a God of love and mercy? How could He be so cruel to those He's supposed to love so much? Today, I know the answer to these questions, without any doubt. This is my journey.
