Dark Night of the Soul: A Latter-Day Saint's Guide to Enduring a Crisis of Faith: A Latter-Day Saint's Guide to Enduring a Crisis of Faith by Rico Maranto Pdf

In the Church today, many are experiencing a crisis of faith, the dark night of soul. One survey of Church leaders revealed that 97% had a friend or family member who experienced a crisis of faith. Elder Marlin K. Jensen was once asked about members of the Church "leaving in droves." He responded, "The fifteen men [of the First Presidency and Quorum of Twelve] really do know, and they really care. And they realize that maybe since Kirtland, we never have had a period of, I'll call it apostasy, like we're having right now." This book is for those who are experiencing a crisis of faith and those who support them. It explains the divinely designed purpose of a crisis of faith--that it is not the death of our testimony, but the birth of a more refined testimony. It explains that the dark night of the soul, the most severe crisis of faith, is a divinely designed spiritual chrysalis intended to transform us into all the Lord needs us to become and all that we will want to become--the best version of us. It reframes doubt and crisis of faith to alleviate the shame and guilt many feel when they believe or are told their doubts are the results of their own actions. The book equips the reader with the mindset, toolset, and skillset requisite to endure a crisis of faith and help others endure it. In this book, the reader explores these key points: - Doubt is not the absence of faith; it is evidence of it. - There are five stages of faith - We often experience a crisis of faith to help us transition to the next stage. - The dark night of the soul, the crisis of faith at stage three, is the most severe crisis of faith. - The dark night of the soul is divinely designed to transform and refine us.

Unquenchable by Carol Kent Pdf

Where is your faith today—first sparks of faith, bright blue flames, radiating heat, raging bonfire, red-hot coals, cooling embers, cold grey ashes? Is your love for God burning so brightly that you are consumed by its passion? Are those who surround you drawn to its radiance and warmed by its heat? Are sparks flying from you, spreading a wildfire faith that ignites passion in others? Or has your passion cooled, your light dimmed, or your fire been quenched? Throughout history God has chosen fire to represent his awesome power, his judgment and wrath, his protection, and his Shekinah glory: the flaming sword guarding Eden, the burning bush, the pillar of fire, the fiery furnace, the chariot of fire, the burning coal, the flame upon the altar, the lake of fire, and the flaming eyes of the Son of Man upon the throne—these are only a few of the images he has seared into our minds that we might know him more fully. God is the source of that first flicker that sparked your faith and one day you will stand in his holy presence, look into the flaming eyes of Jesus, and see his burning love for you face to face. But between that first flicker and that heavenly meeting, there is life to be lived on this earth. The challenge we all face is that life can dim our fire or even quench it, whether by the soggy mist of the mundane, or the quenching downpour of crisis. Carol Kent has discovered that God’s Word is filled with the secrets of nurturing his fire in our lives, sometimes painfully so, other times even undetected, refining, purifying, cauterizing, healing, and ultimately reshaping us into the image of his Son. Author and speaker Carol Kent will take you into God’s word, and into your own story, to reveal the true power of the fire God has placed in you, to fan the flames of your faith, stir your passion, and embolden you to spark wildfires that will spread to forever change the landscape of this world beyond your wildest imagination. God’s fire is in your life. Fan the flames. Burn brightly. Start a wildfire!

Exiles on Mission by Paul S. Williams Pdf

Many Christians in the West sense that traditional Christian teaching is losing traction in the public square. What does faithful Christian witness look like in a post-Christian culture? Paul Williams, the CEO of one of the world's largest and oldest Bible societies, interprets the dissonance Christians often experience while trying to live out their faith in the 21st century. He provides constructive tools to help readers understand culture in myriad contexts and offer a missional response. Williams calls for a truly missional understanding of post-Christendom Christianity whereby local churches are reimagined as embassies of the kingdom of God and Christians serve as ambassadors in all spheres of life and work. This book invites readers to embrace the language of exile and imagine a hopeful mission of the scattered and gathered church in the post-Christian West. It shows a clear pathway for fruitful missional engagement for the whole people of God, helping Christians make sense of the world in which they live, more authentically integrate faith with everyday life, and orient all of their efforts within God's missional purpose for the world.

Cracking Up by Kimberlee Conway Ireton Pdf

At midlife, some men want a Beemer. Kimberlee's husband wants a baby. Another one. Kimberlee doesn't. She already has two kids, her first book just hit bookstore shelves, and the only baby she wants to birth now is the young adult novel she's worked on for six years. But after nine months of trying-and failing-to land an agent for her novel, Kimberlee finds out she's pregnant. With twins. By turns hilarious and heart-breaking, this debut memoir takes you on a roller coaster ride of hormonal disequilibrium, professional disappointment, hellacious sleep-deprivation, and the black pit of postpartum depression-only to bring you laughing back to the light. If you've ever wondered where God is in the mess of your upended life, come along with Kimberlee as she learns a whole lot about clinging to God (mostly by her fingernails) and finding grace and goodness in the darkest of life's corners.

An Enduring Faith by Kerry Davis Pdf

How can one measure the immeasurable? How is it possible to see behind the veil concerning a spiritual occurrence orchestrated by God? What is unforeseen does not encompass or limit the inspired word of God, or our faith, which provides illumination of the depths that exceed any boundaries of the mind. Faith provides pathways to comprehend those heights without limiting the vast magnitude of an infinite God who's ways are far beyond our own. Faith is essential and imperative to understanding and accepting a creation that defines excellence. -Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen- (Heb. 11:1). This book contains a daily journal recording every fuel mission I ran from January to December 2004 in Iraq. These writings most certainly reflect among the greatest moments of my life because it incorporates the greatest power in the history of existence, our God and His Son, Jesus Christ! While there were tragic times, I followed the extreme belief that faith, in every respect, ruled my soul, never allowing fear to have any dominion over the infinite power of a God so great, that His power and love enter the unfathomable. Throughout this book, I have taken extreme liberty in revealing the fact that you are never alone! The very God who created you has always been there during the darkest of times, to provide you with a future and an eternity so magnificent that this seemingly unsearchable peace beckons us with an eternal light so mesmerizing that you will long for this indescribable emotion that can, if you are willing to, penetrate the greatest depths of your being. To God be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
