Journeys of Faithfulness by Sarah Clarkson Pdf

Faithful girls in today's world have a new friend. Sarah Clarkson is a 17 year-old new author with a heart for writing and a heart for God. Journeys of Faithfulness brings those loves together in a new kind of devotional Bible study book for teenaged girls that will not only challenge and inspire readers, but entertain them as well. Sarah skillfully retells the stories of four young women of the Bible, entering into their worlds and their thoughts to show how each chose to be faithful to God -- the devotion of Mary of Bethany; the obedience of Esther; the willingness of Mary the mother of Jesus; and the faithfulness of Ruth. Sarah writes as a young woman to other girls like herself, with insight and vulnerability. Each young woman's journey is unfolded in three serialized chapters, each of which focuses on a biblical character quality or principle. Each of the book's twelve chapters also includes a two-page personal reflection with biblical insights by Sarah, four Bible verses with reflection/discussion questions, and three journey journal pages for personal reflections. The book is attractively designed and printed in burgundy ink on quality cream paper, with sixteen original pen-and-ink professional illustrations.

Hope for the Journey: Reflections of God’s Faithfulness by Richard Parrish MDiv Pdf

Even believers sometimes have doubts. Many followers have issues of faith at some point in their spiritual journeys. Some are content to ignore those questions, and eventually, their faith may wane. Even those who don't leave their churches do not have the spiritual lives they could have. Others, however, look to discover the reasons behind their doubts or other concerns and become stronger in their faith. In Hope for the Journey: Reflections of God's Faithfulness, author Richard Parrish MDiv helps believers work through their faith issues. Sometimes that requires a major overhaul of who we believe God to be. Through this devotional, Parrish shows us how to adopt a different view of the Deity and become closer to God, to know God, and not just in the religious sense. Questions for reflection help you think deeply about and internalize what you've read.

God’S Faithfulness: a Journey in Trusting by Bob McCauley Pdf

This is a true story about the journey in the life of a little girl who grew up on a logging camp located in a very remote area of Western Canada. Little Esther was a fun-loving and adventurous child, and the forest was her playground. When Esther was nine years old, she accepted Jesus Christ as her Savior. After that, the desire of her heart was to serve the Lord at home and in foreign countries. After graduating from Bible school, she got married, and she and her husband prepared for missionary service. Then some tragic events occurred. Esthers father was murdered. Then, after serving in Africa, another tragedy occurred, and Esther was left as a single mother with two children to raise, little money, and large debts. She worked long hours but hardly made enough to pay her bills and feed her family. During this time, Esther felt it was impossible for her to get out of the desperate situation she was living in and to be used of God again in missions. Then He blessed her financially and used her in His service, and thousands of people were touched for Jesus Christ. God also sent in a few million dollars to support the ministries she was involved in.

My Wynter Season by Jonathan Pitts Pdf

Seasons come and go, but Wynter seemed to leave too soon. When Jonathan Pitts took his wife of 15 years into his arms for their anniversary dance, he had no idea that within a month he would be on a completely different journey, navigating life after Wynter's sudden death at the age of 38. One moment he was married to a successful author and magazine publisher, and putting the finishing touches on their book about marriage. The next he was a widower and a single father of four grieving daughters. Without warning, the future his family had planned together dissolved, leaving Jonathan trying to answer the question that echoed through his daughters’ hearts and his own: How could a loving God allow this unspeakable loss? My Wynter Season is Jonathan’s story of losing the most wonderful gift he had ever been given and his journey toward understanding life without her. Yet in the wilderness of his grief, Jonathan found himself surrounded by God’s extravagant love, and came to truly understand Christ’s life-giving promise that death is not the end.

Washed and Waiting by Wesley Hill Pdf

Yet many who sit next to us in the pew at church fit that description, says author Wesley Hill. As a celibate gay Christian, Hill gives us a glimpse of what it looks like to wrestle firsthand with God's ''No'' to same-sex relationships. What does it mean for gay Christians to live faithful to God while struggling with the challenge of their homosexuality? What is God's will for believers who experience same-sex desires? Those who choose celibacy are often left to deal with loneliness and the hunger for relationships. How can gay Christians experience God's favor and blessing in the midst of a struggle that for many brings a crippling sense of shame and guilt? Weaving together reflections from his own life and the lives of other Christians, such as Henri Nouwen and Gerard Manley Hopkins, Hill offers a fresh perspective on these questions. He advocates neither unqualified ''healing'' for those who struggle, nor their accommodation to temptation, but rather faithfulness in the midst of brokenness. ''I hope this book may encourage other homosexual Christians to take the risky step of opening up their lives to others in the body of Christ,'' Hill writes. ''In so doing, they may find, as I have, by grace, that being known is spiritually healthier than remaining behind closed doors, that the light is better than the darkness.

Washed and Waiting by Wesley Hill Pdf

Wesley Hill's personal experiences and biblical reflections offer insight into how a nonpracticing gay Christian can "prove, live out, and celebrate" the grace of Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit. For many who are on this path, it's a lonely one. The reality of loneliness and isolation of the celibate homosexual Christian is something that Hill lives and takes seriously in his pursuit of the gospel-centered life. To those on a similar journey, it's often a life of uncertainties and questions. In Washed and Waiting, Hill explores the three main struggles that have been part of his daily effort to live faithfully: What exactly does the gospel demand of gay and lesbian Christians, and how can it enable them to fulfill its commands? How do Christians who experience homoerotic desires live with the loneliness such desires entail? Is there any relief for it? What comfort does the gospel offer? Can those of us who struggle with homosexuality please God and truly experience his pleasure in the midst of sexual brokenness? Interspersed throughout these main sections are character sketches and stories of people who have experienced this journey's trials and triumphs. Hill offers wise counsel that is biblically faithful, theologically serious, and oriented to the life and practice of the church. As a celibate gay Christian, he gives us a glimpse of what it looks like to wrestle firsthand with God's "No" to same-sex sexual intimacy and contemplate serious and difficult questions.

Vera's Journey by Judy Yoder Pdf

Many have said that Veras Journey reads like a storybook. Veras Journey takes a historical look at the matriarch of a Mennonite family living in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, and is about relationships in family, church, and community. It is also a history of bygone years, of suffering and triumph. Some people grow grouchy and irritable as they grow older. Not so with Vera. She grew old gracefully. Complaining was not her way. She learned in some of the most difficult experiences of life to trust God. What makes Veras story so riveting is the combination of longevity and uniqueness mixed with pain and triumph. The final triumph came when God granted her request to take her home. Her parting was a most sacred moment. It seemed she moved from one would to the next without a noticeable transition. Her trust in God was profoundly evident in that defining moment.

Journey into Newness by Patrick C. Heston Pdf

Wilderness periods of our lives—those dry and desperate seasons when God seems distant and detached, perhaps even indifferent or impotent—can seem an abnormal and painful part of our lives that simply must be painfully plodded through and somehow endured. Yet, far from being something abnormal and life-threatening, like a cancer invading our bodies, wilderness periods represent a fundamental element of our life in the Spirit and part of God’s well-orchestrated plan to guarantee that we become and possess everything he desires for us.

Just Show Up by Kara Tippetts,Jill Lynn Buteyn Pdf

Kara Tippetts’s story was not a story of disease, although she lost her battle with terminal cancer. It was not a story of saying goodbye, although she was intentional in her time with her husband and four children. Kara’s story was one of seeing God in the hard and in the good. It was one of finding grace in the everyday. And it was one of knowing “God with us” through fierce and beautiful friendship. In Just Show Up, Kara and her close friend, Jill Lynn Buteyn, write about what friendship looks like in the midst of changing life seasons, loads of laundry, and even cancer. Whether you are eager to be present to someone going through a difficult time or simply want inspiration for pursuing friends in a new way, this eloquent and practical book explores the gift of silence, the art of receiving, and what it means to just show up.
