Book Synopsis Difficult Blessings by : Lori Heaton
Download or read book Difficult Blessings written by Lori Heaton and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2018-12-21 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Take Maddie home and make her comfortable for whatever time she has left." Maddie's parents were hearing these words from the doctor after their four-year-old daughter was diagnosed with pulmonary arterial hypertension, an incurable life-threatening disease. It was 1997, when there were very few options other than a lung transplant to treat Maddie's disease. Because her parents were unwilling to accept this fate for their daughter, they ended up at the Children's Hospital in Denver, Colorado. Maddie became one of the early pioneers of pulmonary arterial hypertension in the late 1990s when research was just beginning to develop therapies that were an alternative to lung transplantation; treatments that provided hope! This true and inspiring story chronicles Maddie's twenty-year journey of courage and strength. Maddie was an example of determination to all who knew her. Even people who had never met Maddie were inspired by her story. Maddie not only battled pulmonary arterial hypertension, but at the age of six she was diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia. Maddie conquered cancer and lived on to receive two separate lung transplants. Although this is a book about an amazing girl who rose above her adversity to live a full and happy life, it is also a book about discovery. This is a mother's story of how her daughters pain and suffering became vehicles for uncovering her own inner strength and for learning valuable life lessons. The wisdom learned in these hard-gained lessons is what she calls "difficult blessings."

Book Synopsis The Power of Spoken Blessings by : Bill Gothard
Download or read book The Power of Spoken Blessings written by Bill Gothard and published by Multnomah. This book was released on 2008-12-30 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores how verbal blessings can change and restore difficult relationships, highlighting the great power of the living God to work in our daily lives. The spoken blessing is a powerful spiritual weapon with enduring impact. By giving spoken blessings, we can see healing brought to aching souls and restoration brought to bruised relationships. Such wonders are accomplished by the power of God’s Spirit through the agency of spoken blessings, just as Scripture affirms: "Death and life are in the power of the tongue." Our words have the power to crush or to heal, to break bones or to plant a tree of life where none has grown before. And these dynamics of the spoken blessing may be truer today than ever. Mr. Gothard’s timely message brings this awareness to us in a helpful and encouraging way. “Death and life are in the power of the tongue.” Proverbs 18:21 What if spoken blessings could grant freedom from years of bitter hurts? What if they could break down the walls that divide husband from wife, parent from child, and friend from friend? Our words have lasting impact not only for harm, but also for great good. By speaking blessings, we can help bring healing to aching souls and restoration to bruised relationships. Let Bill Gothard share with you the secret of spoken blessings, and embark on a rich family tradition that brings harmony and closeness beyond anything you’ve previously experienced. Story Behind the Book While dealing with layer after layer of hurts, fears, and barriers that teenagers experience with their parents and God, I often heard cruel statements by a parent during a time of anger. Statements like “I wish you were never born” or “You’ll never amount to anything” were like deadly poison affecting everything in that teenager’s life. Such is the power of a verbal curse. However, more powerful have been the verbal blessings of a parent to a son or daughter. They have been like sources of refreshment and energy that have guided the goals and decisions of those who received them. With such lasting results from the life-and-death power of the tongue, it was essential to me that this book be written.
