In this searing meditation on the bonds of family and the allure of extremist faith, one of today’s most celebrated Christian writers recounts his unexpected journey from a strict fundamentalist upbringing to a life of compassion and grace—a revelatory memoir that “invites comparison to Hillbilly Elegy” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). “Searing, heartrending . . . This stunning tale reminds us that the only way to keep living is to ask God for the impossible: love, forgiveness, and hope.”—Kate Bowler, New York Times bestselling author of Everything Happens for a Reason Raised by an impoverished widow who earned room and board as a Bible teacher in 1950s Atlanta, Philip Yancey and his brother, Marshall, found ways to venture out beyond the confines of their eight-foot-wide trailer. But when Yancey was in college, he uncovered a shocking secret about his father’s death—a secret that began to illuminate the motivations that drove his mother to extreme, often hostile religious convictions and a belief that her sons had been ordained for a divine cause. Searching for answers, Yancey dives into his family origins, taking us on an evocative journey from the backwoods of the Bible Belt to the bustling streets of Philadelphia; from trailer parks to church sanctuaries; from family oddballs to fire-and-brimstone preachers and childhood awakenings through nature, music, and literature. In time, the weight of religious and family pressure sent both sons on opposite paths—one toward healing from the impact of what he calls a “toxic faith,” the other into a self-destructive spiral. Where the Light Fell is a gripping family narrative set against a turbulent time in post–World War II America, shaped by the collision of Southern fundamentalism with the mounting pressures of the civil rights movement and Sixties-era forces of social change. In piecing together his fragmented personal history and his search for redemption, Yancey gives testament to the enduring power of our hunger for truth and the possibility of faith rooted in grace instead of fear. “I truly believe this is the one book I was put on earth to write,” says Yancey. “So many of the strands from my childhood—racial hostility, political division, culture wars—have resurfaced in modern form. Looking back points me forward.”

Prayer and Relationships by Patrick O'Sullivan Pdf
At the heart of our Christian calling, says author Pat O'Sullivan, is the opportunity to share God's life, to be 'divinised', as Michael Casey has put it. We do this by allowing space for our relationship with God to unfold and develop. This can be task that is not too far out of our reach because it is God who has taken the initiative. God seeks us out, and offers us his life, his grace. We respond, or not. But if we choose to respond, we foster this relationship through our prayer. In doing this, we join with God's Son, Jesus, who took himself away from the hurly-burly of everyday to a place of quiet. We have an ally in our task. And, as Jesus himself reassured us, as we relate to him we also relate to his Father. This book is an encouraging account of the way of prayer, and of fostering these relationships. It follows the sequence of the Spiritual Exercises of St Ignatius, though the author has chosen not to make use of Ignatian terminology. Thus it is approachable in its content and style. Pat O'Sullivan draws upon many years of experience as university chaplain, retreat giver, spiritual director and provincial of the Australian Jesuits to offer solid and helpful reflection. And the reader is often beguiled by his gentle humour. Here is a book for 'pray-ers'. They will find much that is of help in their journey towards God.

This cycle is followed by personal testimony of how the author learned this principle by experience. Tracy H. Phillips ends his astounding book with an example of how Jesus went through this same cycle, as the author extols some of the benefits of maintaining a relationship of prayer with God. Phillips has been writing sermons and articles for over twenty-five years, and has been in the ministry most of his life. "In my travels as a minister, I began to notice a need for people to make a personal connection with the God they heard about each Sunday morning. As I heard this heartfelt cry from people, it motivated me to begin to lay out an explanation of how I had learned to develop and live in a relationship with God throughout the course of my life." About the Author: Originally from Tyler, Texas, Tracy H. Phillips has been a pastor and an evangelist/apostle after founding Voice of the Cross Ministries. He now lives with his wife and children in Pueblo, Colorado. He is inspired by "a sincere desire to serve God and see the principles of His Word taught in a believable and understandable way. This is coupled with love for people and a desire for them to live happy, blessed lives." Publisher's Website: http: //sbpra.com/TracyHPhillips
