Book Synopsis Playing Chicken with God by : Sarah Erstwhile
Download or read book Playing Chicken with God written by Sarah Erstwhile and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2023-04-06 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you exhausted from trying to control your alcoholic spouse and struggling to find answers? Playing Chicken with God is the author’s story of realizing her husband was an alcoholic—something that took her by surprise. Sarah Erstwhile reveals how she came to the realization that she did not have a functional definition of what an alocholic acted like—as well as why she was unprepared to deal with alcoholism. She also answers questions such as: What do you do when every aspect of your alcoholic relationship is a dilemma, and you feel overwhelmed and desperate in your marriage? What do you do when no matter what you try, your spouse won’t stop drinking? If you have an alcoholic spouse, what steps can you take to minimize your isolation? The author’s goal in sharing her story is to validate the feelings of nonalcoholic partners who find themselves struggling to be happy in a marriage or a serious relationship. She writes unapologetically about trying to make it work for more than twenty years and eventually having to bury her husband.

Download or read book Raising Sinners written by Lisa Clark and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2016-05-12 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lisa's parenting journey began over 26 years ago, but it wasn't until she started teaching bible study at Prestonwood Baptist Church that the Lord told her "parenting" was her niche. God gave Lisa a word about biblical parenting, and so she started the process of teaching and encouraging moms throughout the Dallas area. This led her to partner with Sky Ranch Christian Camps in 2007 and the development of SkyMoms Ministry with her friend and Sky Ranch CEO, Linda Paulk. Lisa has a unique teaching style, which couples humor and personal stories of raising her own two daughters with biblical insights. Grounded in God's Word, Lisa has a passion for encouraging moms in the day-to-day struggles of parenting preteens and teens."I am not a perfect parent and realize that as long as I am covered in flesh, I will fall short on a daily basis. But I also realize that God has given me what I need to parent confidently. Confident parenting is the key. I am the parent and God has commissioned me to be the parent. I have a responsibility to give Him, my husband and my children my very best." Lisa is married to Brad, her husband of almost 30 years, and they are enjoying their empty nest in Frisco, Texas. They have two daughters, Caroline and Camryn. Caroline and her husband, Brent, lead a ministry in Norman, Oklahoma called Crossover Norman. Camryn is engaged to Brett and the newlyweds will reside in Dallas."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A beautiful island in the South Pacific and a Christian home should be an ideal place for anyone to begin their life’s journey. But instead, Pinati’s childhood memories are filled with physical abuse, especially between the ages of five and ten. He still has a scar from a knife that stuck in his arm; he could not eat regular food for two weeks from a hit on his mouth; and he was beaten with a board in front of the whole school assembly as a second grader. As an adult, he experienced a painful divorce, death of his only son at age 20, death of his wife of 18 years, a drive-by shooting in San Francisco, and a street mob in the Philippines. With a pacemaker, a kidney transplant, eight stents in his heart, and a daily dose of 23 pills, he believes he’s still going because of God’s love and grace. His story is for God’s glory.
Book Synopsis Journey to Gragau by : A.W. Trenholm
Download or read book Journey to Gragau written by A.W. Trenholm and published by AudioInk Publishing. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over forty years as a missionary travelling through four continents has brought me in contact with many divergent doctrines and often misrepresentations of about the existence, nature, and purpose for Hell. Hell is popularly represented as a place of eternal suffering for anyone sent there. In this journey to hell, unlike in Dante’s trip to the Inferno, I was directed by what the Bible actually says about Hell, and had a very lovely and knowledgeable guide to escort me. I discovered Hell to be vastly different from what I had been led to expect, and came to realize that lot of my preconceived notions about the Devil and the eternal fate of souls sent there are not as fixed as imagined. To my surprise, demons were not confined to a burning lake of fire, in fact no one was, at least not yet.
Download or read book God's Undertaker written by John C Lennox and published by Lion Books. This book was released on 2011-03-29 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If we are to believe many modern commentators, science has squeezed God into a corner, killed and then buried him with its all-embracing explanations. Atheism, we are told, is the only intellectually tenable position, and any attempt to reintroduce God is likely to impede the progress of science. In this stimulating and thought-provoking book, John Lennox invites us to consider such claims very carefully. This book evaluates the evidence of modern science in relation to the debate between the atheistic and theistic interpretations of the universe, and provides a fresh basis for discussion. The chapters include: War of the worldviews The scope and limits of science Reduction, reduction, reduction... Designer universe Designer biosphere The nature and scope of evolution The origin of life The genetic code and its origin Matters of information The monkey machine and, The origin of information. Now updated and expanded, God's Undertaker is an invaluable contribution to the debate about science's relationship to religion.

Download or read book Double Blessing written by Mark Batterson and published by Multnomah. This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God doesn't bless us to raise our standard of living. God blesses us to raise our standard of giving, and that's where true joy is found. The New York Times bestselling author of Chase the Lion challenges us not to settle for half of what God offers when it comes to blessings—we are BLESSED to BLESS. His discovery started with a simple experiment. Whenever Batterson received a blessing, he would give a similar blessing away. If someone paid him a compliment or gave him a gift or went out of their way to help him, he would return the favor by doing something similar for someone else. We flip the blessing by blessing others in the way God has blessed us. That’s how the blessing becomes a double blessing. It turns giving into a game—one we can’t win because God will always outgive us! It’s an ancient truth found within the Abrahamic covenant: “I will bless you . . . and you will be a blessing.” In other words, we are blessed to bless. The first blessing is receiving, but it doesn’t end there. The second blessing is giving it away! That’s the double blessing. And that’s where double joy is found. In a day and age where the idea of blessing has been reduced to a hashtag (#blessed), Batterson challenges readers to pursue true, God-glorifying blessing and experience an exponential impact by participating in the double blessing. Don’t settle for half of what God offers. Discover how you can both get it and give it . . . in Double Blessing.
Book Synopsis The Chicken Chronicles by : Alice Walker
Download or read book The Chicken Chronicles written by Alice Walker and published by New Press/ORIM. This book was released on 2011-05-10 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “life-affirmative and eccentrically inspirational” collection from the National Book Award– and Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Color Purple (Kirkus Reviews). In these glorious, offbeat, and compassionate tales, one of America’s preeminent authors shares her experiences raising and caring for a flock of affectionately named chickens. Walker addresses her “girls” directly, sometimes from the intimate proximity of her yard, other times at a great distance, during her travels to Bali and Dharamsala as an activist for peace and justice. On the way, she invites readers along on a surprising journey of spiritual discovery. Both heartbreaking and uplifting, The Chicken Chronicles lets us see a new and deeply personal side of one of the most captivating writers of our time. In turn, Walker has created a powerful touchstone for anyone seeking a deeper connection with the natural world. “Heartfelt, thought-provoking ruminations on sustenance from perspectives of both giver and receiver.” —Library Journal “Walker’s sage, compassionate memoir is meant to be savored and contemplated.” —Kirkus Reviews
Book Synopsis Jesus Outside the Lines by : Scott Sauls
Download or read book Jesus Outside the Lines written by Scott Sauls and published by Tyndale House Publishers, Inc.. This book was released on 2015-03-01 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether the issue of the day on Twitter, Facebook, or cable news is our sexuality, political divides, or the perceived conflict between faith and science, today’s media pushes each one of us into a frustrating clash between two opposing sides. Polarizing, us-against-them discussions divide us and distract us from thinking clearly and communicating lovingly with others. Scott Sauls, like many of us, is weary of the bickering and is seeking a way of truth and beauty through the conflicts. Jesus Outside the Lines presents Jesus as this way. Scott shows us how the words and actions of Jesus reveal a response that does not perpetuate the destructive fray. Jesus offers us a way forward—away from harshness, caricatures, and stereotypes. In Jesus Outside the Lines, you will experience a fresh perspective of Jesus, who will not (and should not) fit into the sides.
Download or read book Hand to God written by Robert Askins and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2018-08-28 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the rec room in at a church in Cypress, Texas, Margery leads her students in a puppet pageant to strengthen their faith in the Bible and evade Satan's hand. But when the young members of the Christian Puppet Ministry put those teachings into practice, one devout young man's puppet takes on a shocking personality that no one could have expected. In this hilarious black comedy, a foul-mouthed sock puppet named Tyrone soon teaches those around him that the urges that can drive a person to give in to their darkest desires fit like a glove. In Hand to God, a "true tour de force" (New York Times), Robert Askins has written a play of "unerring perfection" (Huffington Post). The must-see hit of the 2015 Broadway season, starring Steven Boyer and Geneva Carr, garnered an Obie Award and five Tony Award nominations, including Best Play, following its sold out, critically acclaimed off-Broadway runs at MCC Theater and Ensemble Studio Theatre.
Book Synopsis God at Work by : Gene Edward Veith Jr.
Download or read book God at Work written by Gene Edward Veith Jr. and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2011-08-02 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When you understand it properly, the doctrine of vocation—"doing everything for God's glory"—is not a platitude or an outdated notion. This principle that we vaguely apply to our lives and our work is actually the key to Christian ethics, to influencing our culture for Christ, and to infusing our ordinary, everyday lives with the presence of God. For when we realize that the "mundane" activities that consume most of our time are "God's hiding places," our perspective changes. Culture expert Gene Veith unpacks the biblical, Reformation teaching about the doctrine of vocation, emphasizing not what we should specifically do with our time or what careers we are called to, but what God does in and through our callings—even within the home. In each task He has given us—in our workplaces and families, our churches and society—God Himself is at work. Veith guides you to discover God's purpose and calling in those seemingly ordinary areas by providing you with a spiritual framework for thinking about such issues and for acting upon them with a changed perspective.
