Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you a PK who wishes they had a different family? Have you been wounded by the church? Do you feel that you don't measure up to everyone else's expectations? Do you wonder if God's love for you is solely dependent on your performance or simply who your family is? If you said yes to any of those questions, this is the book for you. The life of a PK holds unique challenges and can actually drive young people away from the church. But the difficulties that pastors' kids sometimes experience shouldn't force them away from God.

Through prayer and lots of God-given wisdom, she provides daily Scriptures that are designed to give support to PKs who may be struggling in their faith. Holly spent her entire life as a PK.

Book Synopsis In the Fish Bowl by : Steve Maltempi
Download or read book In the Fish Bowl written by Steve Maltempi and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-12-10 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are stories throughout this book, told from the perspective of ministers and their children. If you are an MC (ministers child), you will be encouraged to know you are not alone in your journey. After reading these pages, you will likely think to yourself, "It sounds like we were all members of the same church!" For now, relax and read what it is like to be the child of a minister, for in these pages you will come to understand that the stereotypes people have concerning the children of ministers are mostly false. Most MCs are great people that are well adjusted and socially adept. As an MC, you should be proud of who you are in relation to your father and who you are becoming as an individual. If you are a minister, throughout the pages of this book you will find stories and ideas familiar to you and your family. If you are not a minister, this book will be fascinating and help you discover and understand the life of a minister's child. This will be a fresh perspective on people with whom you have been friends and whom you have seen grow up-ministers' children, young and old. These people are real, with real feelings, real needs, real goals and real aspirations. MCs would love you to have a deeper understanding of who they are and the issues they navigate. I challenge you to get to know MCs for who they are rather than through the lens of their father's image. I believe you will be pleasantly surprised to find a thriving heart longing to be recognized as an individual with talents and gifts. Perhaps in the future, ministers' children will be viewed as who they truly are: individual people, created in God's image, who are spiritually mature followers of Christ. Their success will be understood as an accomplishment and acknowledged as a personal achievement. This book focuses specifically on the fishbowl effect as it relates to the children of ministers. It does not focus on how ministers' children behave. However, after reading this book you will have a new appreciation for ministers, their wives and their children. Ministers have goals for their children-that they grow up normal, well-adjusted, healthy and loving God and others as they glorify God. Can we ask more?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A solid family life will help pastors focus and attentively minister to the needs of their congregation.Pastors often struggle with conflicting expectations. The most painful of these conflicts is between the expectations of their congregations, and the needs of their families. They must, at the same moment, be available to parishioners and carve out private family time. Belton Joyner knows that often the best therapy for pastors caught in this dilemma is to laugh at it. With humorous illustrations and light-hearted straight talk, he helps pastors understand their own family dynamics, the role their families play in the life of the church, and how to be an effective minister of the gospel AND a responsible spouse and parent, while living in a fishbowl.

Book Synopsis The Bigger Picture by : Howard A. Lyman
Download or read book The Bigger Picture written by Howard A. Lyman and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2009-08 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an exciting opportunity for exercising individual thought based upon humanity's search for a significant role in the ongoing drama of a much better world. It is a challenge to all of humanity of every race and culture, every religious faith, and to those who possess an avid religion of no religion, the pure atheist. Throughout the book, the author proclaims the dignity of the human creature as he seeks his destiny. It reflects a destiny that exists beyond all human comprehension, and is not to be restricted by any religion, especially Christianity. The author suggests that the most tragic happening for the Christian faith is that it has been categorized as "just another religion". The central theme of the book is that there is an awesomely bigger picture for the success of human life, and we are a precise part of its unfolding as humans, with the gifts of a reasoning mind, and a delicate inner spirit, searching for meaning and destiny. The book suggests that the ultimate destiny and goal is the ultimate perfection of human nature; his character and his behavior. This lies at the heart of all searching minds, and spirits, as they are driven to a discovery or destiny. Contained in Paul's letter to the Corinthians in the first century is his observation that "the human eye has never seen, or the ear heard; nor has there entered into the mind of any man, what it is that God has prepared for those who love Him." This book affirms that God is, and that God possesses the true blueprint for the perfection of human nature. Our human destiny is dependent upon our relationship to the Master Creator and our cooperation with Him. This is a crucial ingredient of all religions, and for all human beings who can recognize that God has created the human creature in His own image of a mind and spirit capable of communication with Him. This book does not attempt to identify the realistic facts of what the "bigger picture" is like. It only challenges us to realize that there is a "bigger picture", and we humans must participate in the development of it. We can only use our God-given minds and our spirits to cooperate with God in the attainment of a perfect humanity in a perfect new world. The book is designed as a "thinking" and "pondering" opportunity. It consists of nine chapters containing commentaries on the meaning of life, followed by thought- provoking sermons preached many years ago, but are currently challenging with a great depth of thought that enables the reader to ponder and consider and experience what it is that is happening to us as a part of the drama of world history, and cosmic exploration. The Christian event is vital to our thinking exploration because it was a happening that revealed the simple but essential fact that we humans are a part of a dramatic movement of life that involves the entire panorama of the cosmic universe. The book is full of affirmations that we humans are a part of a much more significant existence than we realize. Chapter titles reflect the insightful progress of the book: Chapter 1 "The Prelude"; Chapter II "The Glory of Life"; Chapter III "The Vital Truth That Eludes Us"; Chapter IV "Life is Utterly Amazing"; Chapter V "What is Really Going On?"; Chapter VI "Faith Is Vital"; Chapter VII "When Hope Comes Alive"; Chapter Vifi "Love Is Like a Miracle"; and Chapter IX "Your Ultimate Goal". The fmal statement of the author reflects his common-sense analysis of human life. He states that "There is no such thing as perfection in this life, but ultimately in 'God's Bigger Picture' there will be!" It is God's goal for His human creation--you and me.
