I Was Knocked down but Not Out! How My Faith Got Me Through!!! by Derek G. Matthews Pdf

The intent of this book is to serve three goals. The first being to act as an opportunity for the world to see Mr. Matthews as a man who has lived a full life that has had great experiences, adventure, and opportunities while also allowing the readers to understand how having faith through life's storms is critical. If only a single reader can walk away with a better understanding that God will never put more on us than we can bear, then the purpose of the book was met. The second goal was to let others know that the rules of the game of life change upon whom the rules best serve, and no matter what, you must be accountable for your actions and be prepared to handle the consequences of your actions. While others may conspire to bring you down, you have the ability to make decisions to not allow them to do so. The last goal was to have true reconciliation by telling my story to ensure that those only knew my name would now know my story, and I'm sure that by now, most of them would see they would have quit long ago had they walked in my shoes for just a short time.

Mother Tongue by Leonard Sweet Pdf

No one shapes our heritage or affects our legacy like our mother. Most people know Leonard Sweet, one of the world’s most influential evangelicals, as a sharp cultural critic who helps us see how to get in front of the future rather than be bowled over by it. One of his greatest influences was his mother, a groundbreaking (and sometimes controversial) minister who defied convention while honoring tradition. In this exceptionally personal work, Len Sweet opens his mother’s memory box, and in the process he helps us all embrace the future with confidence while tethering us to a faith that transcends time. Through Len’s experience, we all will better understand and process how our own heritage affects our legacy. An ideal resource for mothers, adult children, and families seeking resources to set up their kids to flourish.

I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die by Sarah J. Robinson Pdf

A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.

What You Can Become When Your Faith Grows Up by Gaye LaFoe Pdf

Gaye LaFoe has found the strength to endure life’s ups and downs after a series of life-changing events that taught her to trust God by faith. In an inspirational retelling of her life, LaFoe chronicles her unique personal experiences and takes you on her journey through heartwrenching struggles for answers. Only to realize that God was the answer all the time. LaFoe’s story is one of loss, rejection, and ultimate redemption. It is the tests of her faith that let her see firsthand that God was still faithful, still the healer, and he had never left her side even when she lost her way. She begins by detailing a childhood where she was influenced by elders who guided her beliefs in God while she struggled to endure dysfunctional relationships and turbulent events and then discloses how much later after years of searching, she found her way back to God. Throughout her story, LaFoe shares the important spiritual lesson that we not only serve God by faith, but also by believing that He STILL does impossible, magnificent, and indescribable miracles today! What You Can Become When Your Faith Grows Up is the uplifting testimony of a believer’s spiritual journey as she learned to trust God no matter the outcome.

A unique biblical and practical approach to uncluttering our internal thoughts and feelings. We all want our lives to change for the better–to become the healthiest versions of ourselves in spirit, soul, and body. Yet we still struggle. Author Trina McNeilly, looking for order in her own life, embarked on an inward journey to the home of her heart and soul to find healing and health from the inside out.

Each chapter in these three sections is written as an essay and concludes with practical and soulful tips as well as prompts to put them into action. With discussion questions and a prayer guide, Unclutter Your Soul is the ultimate resource for finding freedom in our everyday lives by releasing limited mindsets and creating more space for peace and joy.

Truth and Faith by Andrew W. P. Gage Pdf

Truth and Faith is a book to dispute the worldview, the mentality that Christianity is just another story or fable that we tell our children. Some scientists like to ridicule faith as childhood fantasies or just a human fabrication to answer questions that science can answer better. Psychologists like for us to follow their interpretation of how to live instead of God's way. Even political leaders like to use and abuse religion to gain their own goals. We see it every day coming out of Hollywood, as they try to convince us to think as they do. Truth and Faith is a book set out to prove faith and truth are to be the same thing. It is not a human understanding or the human way of thinking, but a recognizing of the truth of the world around us, one created by God. If God created the universe, He created how it works. He creates the truth of how the world works. People believe the universe is chaos, but imagine it is so far above our understanding that it appears chaotic to us, but to God, it is all one big plan. Now apply that truth to faith. After thirty-plus years of studying the Bible, I have discovered that Jesus was in God's plan before the creation of the universe, before the earth came to be. Jesus literally is the image of God because He is God. Adam's sin, Abraham's promise, Moses's law, and Jesus's death were all part of the plan from the beginning, played out for us a little at a time so we could understand, over the millennia, His plan from the beginning. When Jesus died, He said, "It is finished." The whole plan for redemption from the beginning of the world, the plan, was complete. Come explore these truths with me and judge for yourself. 10
