Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER What do you do when God’s timing seems questionable, his lack of intervention hurtful, and his promises doubtful? Lysa TerKeurst unveils her heart amid shattering circumstances, inviting you to live assured when life doesn't turn out like you expected. Life often looks so very different than we hoped or expected. Some events may simply catch us off guard for a season, but others shatter us completely. We feel disappointed and disillusioned at best and overwhelmed and hopeless at worst. We quietly start to wonder about the reality of God’s goodness and why he allows us to suffer and experience grief and loss. Lysa TerKeurst understands this deeply. But after many tears, godly counseling, and prayerful seeking, she's also discovered that our disappointments can be the divine appointments our souls need to radically encounter God. In It's Not Supposed to Be This Way, Lysa invites us into her own journey of faith and, with grit, vulnerability, and honest humor, helps us to: Stop being pulled into the anxiety of disappointment by discovering how to better process unmet expectations and other painful situations. Train ourselves to recognize the three strategies of the enemy, so we can stand strong and persevere through unsettling relationships and uncertain outcomes. Discover the secret of being steadfast and not panicking when God actually does give us more than we can handle. Shift our suspicion that God is cruel or unfair to the biblical assurance that God is protecting and preparing us. Know how to encourage a friend and help her navigate hard realities with real help from God's truth, the Bible. Look for additional biblically based resources and devotionals from Lysa: Good Boundaries and Goodbyes Forgiving What You Can't Forget Uninvited You're Going to Make It Embraced Seeing Beautiful Again
Book Synopsis Between Two Gardens by : James B. Nelson
Download or read book Between Two Gardens written by James B. Nelson and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2008-05-01 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Between Two Gardens, theologian and ethicist James B. Nelson seeks to stimulate a further reexamination of human sexuality and the Christian experience. Here he continues to explore concerns posed in his earlier work, Embodiment. Traditionally, the relationship between religion and spirituality has reflected this one-dimensional question: What does faith say about human sexuality? Nelson, however, takes a different tack and asks more pertinently: What does sexuality say about faith--theology, scripture, tradition, and the meaning of the gospel? With this more existential perspective in mind, he explores a wide range of sexual and medical issues. Nelson discusses men's liberation; sexuality in Jewish, Catholic, and Protestant interpretations; religious and moral questions of professionals working with homosexual counselees; singleness of the church; the family; and attitudes toward abortion. Reflecting on these topics, he writes out of a healthy conviction that the process of integrating human sexuality and the life of faith is an important journey.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Experiencing challenges, being broken, and having to pick up the pieces of our lives is part of the human condition. Eventually, we learn how to fit those pieces back together so they make sense, we are stronger, and our faith becomes greater. Steven Edgley knows about putting the pieces back together after experiencing a devastating life event. As a stroke survivor, he has written Life Between Two Gardens to record his amazing journey of survival, recovery, and faith in the Lord.

In these pages, you will find words of comfort and reassurance that a loving God is intimately aware of our individual circumstances and will provide tender support for our needs. Even though there may be hardship, strife, and even evil cast around us, and times of darkness when we cry out for a lantern to guide the way, we will eventually see that it is the Father's love that built this stage call

Download or read book Our Life in Gardens written by Joe Eck and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2010-02-22 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the third book we have written together, though separately we have written others . . . But to say ‘written separately' makes no sense, for when two lives have been bent for so many years on one central enterprise—in this case, gardening—there really is no such thing as separately." With these words, the renowned garden designers Joe Eck and Wayne Winterrowd begin their entertaining, fascinating, and unexpectedly moving book about the life and garden they share. The book contains much sound information about the cultivation of plants and their value in the landscape, and invaluable advice about Eck and Winterrowd's area of expertise: garden design. There are chapters about the various parts of their garden, and sections about particular plants—roses and lilacs, snowdrops and cyclamen—and vegetables. The authors also discuss the development of their garden over time, and the dark issue that weighs more and more on their minds: its eventual decline and demise. Our Life in Gardens is a deeply satisfying perspective on gardening, and on life.

She also challenges gardeners to think beyond their garden borders and to consider the ways gardening can enrich the world.

Book Synopsis No One Gardens Alone by : Emily Herring Wilson

Book excerpt: The first biography of the renowned Southern gardening writer by the editor of the acclaimed book Two Gardeners Elizabeth Lawrence (1904-1985) lived a singular, contradictory life. She was a true Southerner; a successful, independent gardening writer with her own newspaper column and numerous books to her credit; a dutiful daughter who cared for her elders and always lived with her mother; a landscape architect; an accomplished poet; a friend of literary figures like Eudora Welty and Joseph Mitchell; and a woman people called "St. Elizabeth" behind her back. Lawrence earned many fans during her lifetime and gained even more after her death with the reissue of many of her classic books. When Emily Herring Wilson edited a collection of letters between Lawrence and famed New Yorker editor Katherine S. White in Two Gardeners, she found legions of readers, in the South and elsewhere, who were eager to know more about the legendary Lawrence. Now, one hundred years after her birth, No One Gardens Alone tells for the first time the story of this fascinating woman. Like classic biographies of literary figures such as Emily Dickinson or Edna St. Vincent Millay, this book reveals Lawrence in all her complexity and establishes her, at last, as one of the premier gardeners and writers of the twentieth century.

Book Synopsis FACING TRUTH - "The Tale of Two Gardens" by : Patrick J. Tabor
Download or read book FACING TRUTH - "The Tale of Two Gardens" written by Patrick J. Tabor and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2013-04-01 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Book is based on the premise that the Bible is the objective Truth about created reality. Like a young child looking into a kaleidoscope, the picture of Christianity that we see in the world today is fragmented into an endless number of pieces and we struggle to put together a clear picture that makes sense. 2000 years of Church History, layers of Pagan Beliefs and Humanistic Philosophy have distorted and blurred the Bibles picture of the "Faith" that was taught by Jesus and the Apostles. In addition to that our innate resistance to "The Truth" is our biggest obstacle to embracing what is true about God, our selves and the Created Reality we live in and that makes coming to believe the Biblical Worldview at best very challenging. It is my hope that this book will help you establish an authentic Biblical Faith and bring the distorted, fragmented, kaleidoscopic picture of Christianity in the world today back into focus, as you continue your journey toward the gloriously wonderful "Eternal Kingdom of God."
