Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Samara Taylor used to believe in miracles. She used to believe in a lot of things. As a pastor's kid, it's hard not to buy in to the idea of the perfect family, a loving God, and amazing grace. But lately, Sam has a lot of reason to doubt. Her mother lands in rehab after a DUI and her father seems more interested in his congregation than his family. When a young girl in her small town is kidnapped, the local tragedy overlaps with Sam's personal one, and the already-worn thread of faith holding her together begins to unravel. In her third novel, acclaimed author Sara Zarr examines the coexistence of affliction and hope, and what happens when everything you thought you believed---about God, about your family, about yourself---is transformed.
Download or read book I Once Was Lost written by Don Everts and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2009-08-20 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do people come to Jesus in today's postmodern culture? Not by a mechanical, linear process of cookie cutter conversions. Nor by a nebulous spiritual wandering that never culminates in decision and commitment. Over the last decade, Don Everts and Doug Schaupp have listened to the stories of two thousand postmodern people who have come to follow Jesus. While their stories are diverse and varied, certain common themes emerge. Postmodern evangelism is a mysterious and organic process that nevertheless goes through discernible phases, as people cross thresholds from distrust to trust, from complacency to curiosity and from meandering to seeking. Everts and Schaupp describe the factors that influence how people shift in their perspectives and become open to the Gospel. They provide practical tools to help people enter the kingdom, as well as guidelines for how new believers can live out their Christian faith.

Book excerpt: Hope can be hard to hold on to. When thirteen-year-old Jody goes missing, the national spotlight turns to Samara Taylor's small town of Pineview. With few clues for investigators to follow, everyone is a suspect, including Jody's older brother, Nick. But even as the town rallies in solidarity, Sam feels more alone than ever. Her mother is drifting farther and farther away while her father grows increasingly preoccupied as he steps in to help Jody's family in the wake of the disappearance. During the tense, uncomfortable days that follow, Sam draws closer to Nick as the local tragedy intersects with her personal one. National Book Award finalist Sara Zarr delivers a powerful novel (originally published under the title Once Was Lost) about community, family, faith, and one girl's realization that sometimes you have to lose everything to find what's been missing all along.

Book excerpt: A woman meant to serve, a child in the dark, a man standing apart—can these three souls embrace a God with new plans for them? On a small Kansas farm, Christina Willems lovingly shepherds a group of poor and displaced individuals who count on her leadership and have come to see the Brambleville Asylum for the Poor as their home. But when a fire breaks out in the kitchen leaving the house uninhabitable, she must scramble to find shelter for all in her care, scattering her dear “family.” With no other options, Christina is forced to approach Levi Jonnson, a reclusive mill owner, to take in a young blind boy named Tommy Kilgore. Levi agrees with reluctance but finds himself surprised by the bond that quickly grows between him and Tommy. As obstacles to repairing the farm pile up against Christina, she begins to question her leadership ability and wonders if she can fulfill the mission to which she's dedicated her life. And when an old adversary challenges Christina, will she find an unlikely ally—or more—in the aloof Levi? Can Levi reconcile with the rejection that led to his hermit-like existence and open his heart and life to something more, especially a relationship with a loving God?

Download or read book Radical written by David Platt and published by Multnomah. This book was released on 2010-05-04 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestseller What is Jesus worth to you? It's easy for American Christians to forget how Jesus said his followers would actually live, what their new lifestyle would actually look like. They would, he said, leave behind security, money, convenience, even family for him. They would abandon everything for the gospel. They would take up their crosses daily... But who do you know who lives like that? Do you? In Radical, David Platt challenges you to consider with an open heart how we have manipulated the gospel to fit our cultural preferences. He shows what Jesus actually said about being his disciple--then invites you to believe and obey what you have heard. And he tells the dramatic story of what is happening as a "successful" suburban church decides to get serious about the gospel according to Jesus. Finally, he urges you to join in The Radical Experiment -- a one-year journey in authentic discipleship that will transform how you live in a world that desperately needs the Good News Jesus came to bring.

Book Synopsis Once Lost Now Saved by : Joseph D Frizzi
Download or read book Once Lost Now Saved written by Joseph D Frizzi and published by . This book was released on 2020-03-10 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A story of once being lost in sin and alienated from God, but then becoming born again in Jesus Christ and becoming a child of God. This book describes the journey from darkness to light; how once I was an agnostic and a person of the left having no desire to hear the gospel of Christ. Then God intervened and changed my heart into saving faith in Him and gave me the desire to become His servant. I chose the contrasting pictures of me on the cover of this book to illustrate the vast difference between being lost (not born-again, in spiritual darkness, and alienated from God) versus saved (born again, reconciled with God through forgiveness of sin, and adopted into the family of God). The person in the "Lost" top section of the cover is me when I was 20 years old. Although I looked like I belonged in jail, I really wasn't nearly that bad, but in God's eyes, I was still a lost sinner who needed to have his sins forgiven. Little did I know that over 25 years later I would be one of those Christians that, at the time of this picture and later, I thought were so weird and hypocritical. The person in the bottom cover "Saved" section is me when I was 45 years old. I had been born again for about one month and this is the photo taken for my church directory. I looked like I had the weight of the world taken off my shoulders, and spiritually, I really did! This book would be valuable as a Bible study, particularly for newer Christians who need to be further grounded in the faith, and also for non-believes who need a clear gospel presentation.

Book excerpt: "Game recognize game...ain't `chu eva heard that one before?" Games seem to be the main agenda in this novel about two characters living in the backdrop of Atlanta who feel the need to "one up" each other until they can no longer play those cards. Mia Smith is a woman on a mission...she's independent and making her own way, taking no nonsense. However when she comes across Khalid's path, her "way" is now shaken, especially when true feelings begin to evolve. Her life is slowly coming together with her "new" man in a way she didn't believe possible. But when her hidden past comes back around to wreck havoc on her new found happiness, she follows her instincts and tries to protect Khalid at all costs. Khalid Alexander is an educated, corporate "brutha" who has women at his fingertips. He's a single guy who "enjoys" being the type of bachelor most men wish they could be. However once he meets Mia, she changes his world. The "love `em and leave `em" attitude can't withstand what he is now feeling...which is love. Now that his heart is clouded with the sensation of love, he hesitantly lets his guard down. When Mia makes a drastic move, he's suddenly back where he was before. In the "love games" that they play, will these two stay "lost" or will they finally be "found?" The choice is up to them...
