We all have treasures within. When we explore those treasures, "we offer hope to a dying world." Treasures of hope will release so many others to share their experiences without guilt, shame or condemnation. Even the soft spoken will begin to allow their stories to burst forth like thunder. In order to become an overcomer, deliverance of some sort has to take place. We have each been given a gift, not a gift of gab, but a gift of the word of our testimony. When we use our testimonies to glorify God we show others that though there will always be "tests" the "monies" are never too far behind. Move outside of yourself and inspire others to live. Come out of bondage to secrecy.
A collection of over 40 Christian authors showcasing their talents ~ each short story or article contains not only practical biblical teaching, but stories of hope, inspiration, edification, encouragement and testimonies that will no doubt leave an imprint upon one's soul.
I would like to share my experience with the world that JESUS is still in the business of doing Miracles because he has done it for me and I know of a surety that He will do it for you. There are two things which are required: only believe and have faith as small as a mustard seed and He will surely come through for you. Just trust Him.
When all seems lost, where can you find hope? Katherine and Jay Wolf married right after college and sought adventure far from home in Los Angeles, CA. As they pursued their dreams--she as a model and he as a lawyer--they planted their lives in the city and their church community. Their son, James, came along unexpectedly in the fall of 2007, and just six months later, everything changed in a moment for this young family. On April 21, 2008, as James slept in the other room, Katherine collapsed, suffering a massive brain stem stroke without warning. Miraculously, Jay came home in time and called for help. Katherine was immediately rushed into brain surgery, though her chance of survival was slim. As the sun rose the next morning, the surgeon proclaimed that Katherine had survived the removal of part of her brain, though her future recovery was uncertain. Yet in that moment, there was a spark of hope. Through forty days on life support in the ICU and nearly two years in full-time brain rehab, that small spark of hope was fanned into flame. Hope Heals documents Katherine and Jay's journey as they struggled to regain Katherine's quality of life and as she relearned to talk, eat, and walk. As Katherine returned home with a severely disabled body but a completely renewed purpose, she and Jay committed to celebrating this gift of a second chance by embracing life fully, even though that life looked very different than they could have ever imagined. As you uncover Katherine and Jay's remarkable story, you'll be encouraged to: Find lasting hope in the midst of struggle Embrace the unexpected Welcome God's miracles into your everyday life In the midst of continuing hardships, both in body and mind, Katherine and Jay found what we all long to find: a hope that heals the most broken place--our souls. Let Hope Heals be your guide along the way. Praise for Hope Heals: "As I read this book, tears streamed from my eyes even as joy flooded my heart. Jay and Katherine are a raw yet refreshing testimony to the unshakable trustworthiness of God amidst the unimaginable trials of life. This book reminds all of us where hope can be found in a world where none of us know what the next day holds." --David Platt, author of the New York Times bestseller Radical and president of the International Mission Board "Hope Heals is a beautiful, true story that illustrates the love and protection God has for us even in the darkest times of our lives. Katherine and Jay's dedication to each other and the Lord through their most devastating season is inspiring. This book will help your heart believe that He sees, He knows, He cares, and He is still working miracles today!" --Lysa TerKeurst, New York Times bestselling author and president of Proverbs 31 Ministries
Behind the Mask is a true story of sin and redemption, of faith and forgiveness. With courage and candor, author Amy Butler shares her inspirational story. At age eighteen she chose to have an abortion. This decision caused her to withdraw from family and friends and led her to believe she was incapable of being loved, that no one could ever love someone who had killed her own child. Years passed, but Amy was unable to openly share her past with others. She had subconsciously donned a mask to hide behind. She felt as though the mask hid her shame, guilt, bitterness, anger and fear, but all it really did was hide her from reality. After years of struggle, the compassion of a fellow Christian helped her to finally confess her past; once she did, she was able to realize there was no condemnation in Jesus Christ. Her fellow Christians simply loved her. Friends pointed her in the direction of healing through an abortion recovery ministry, where she learned to face the past and removed her mask once and for all. By lifting her mask and sharing in the forgiveness of Christ, Amy was able to embrace a fulfilling and optimistic future. Behind the Mask was written for every person who chooses to conceal his or her real identity. Let God, through Amy’s words, give you the strength and courage to remove your mask.

“[A] landmark book . . . Solnit illustrates how the uprisings that begin on the streets can upend the status quo and topple authoritarian regimes” (Vice). A book as powerful and influential as Rebecca Solnit’s Men Explain Things to Me, her Hope in the Dark was written to counter the despair of activists at a moment when they were focused on their losses and had turned their back to the victories behind them—and the unimaginable changes soon to come. In it, she makes a radical case for hope as a commitment to act in a world whose future remains uncertain and unknowable. Drawing on her decades of activism and a wide reading of environmental, cultural, and political history, Solnit argues that radicals have a long, neglected history of transformative victories, that the positive consequences of our acts are not always immediately seen, directly knowable, or even measurable, and that pessimism and despair rest on an unwarranted confidence about what is going to happen next. Now, with a moving new introduction explaining how the book came about and a new afterword that helps teach us how to hope and act in our unnerving world, she brings a new illumination to the darkness of our times in an unforgettable new edition of this classic book. “One of the best books of the 21st century.” —The Guardian “No writer has better understood the mix of fear and possibility, peril and exuberance that’s marked this new millennium.” —Bill McKibben, New York Times–bestselling author of Falter “An elegant reminder that activist victories are easily forgotten, and that they often come in extremely unexpected, roundabout ways.” —The New Yorker
It's obvious from the bookshelves and the big screen that heaven is on everyone's mind. All of us long to know what life after death will be like. Bestselling author John Burke is no exception. For decades, he has been studying accounts of people who have had near-death experiences (NDEs). While not every detail of individual NDEs correlate with Scripture, Burke shows how the common experiences shared by thousands of survivors clearly point to the God of the Bible and the exhilarating picture of heaven he promises. Imagine Heaven is an inspirational journey through the Bible's picture of heaven, colored in with the real-life stories of heaven's wonders. Burke compares gripping stories of NDEs to what Scripture says about our biggest questions of heaven: Will I be myself? Will I see friends and loved ones? What will it look like? What is God like? What will we do forever? What about children and pets? This book will propel readers into an experience that will forever change their view of the life to come and the way they live life today. It also tackles the tough questions of heavenly reward and hellish NDEs. Anyone interested in NDEs or longing to imagine heaven more clearly will enjoy this fascinating and hope-filled book.
Are you a Christian? If not, have you ever wondered why some of them act so strangely? Or why they choose to follow Jesus Christ? Nicole Donoho never thought she had any sort of a testimony, no story to tell of who God was to her or why she chose to follow Him. For years, she listened to other Christians tell of the horrific things God had delivered them from-abuse, addiction, foreign dictators, and everything in between. God had healed their bodies, brought joy after devasting losses, and undoubtedly shown them favor in the strangest of situations. With each story she was asked to ghostwrite or edit, she found herself encouraged to press on in her own faith. Yet, behind the scenes, she was tormented as doubt caused her to belittle the story God had written on her life, "Who am I to tell of God's great works?" Have you ever found yourself asking that same question? "What testimony do I have?" Join Nicole as she provides five accounts of God revealing Himself in her life and why she chooses to serve Him. Following each of those reasons, you'll have space to examine your own faith and write out your testimony. "My "testimony" always seemed like a picture book compared to the novels people were praising God for. What on earth could I say or do to encourage anyone in their faith? Each follower of Christ has a testimony. It took me over three decades to understand that the power of our testimonies is not determined by what we think they hold, but by how God chooses to use them. Our testimonies are God's story written on our lives and it is important for us to be equipped to share these truths. So, help us, God." -Nicole Donoho
The Resurrection accounts of Jesus in the Gospels are the most dramatic and impactful stories ever told. One similarity unites each testimony--that none of his most loyal and steadfast followers could "see" it was him, back from the dead. The reason for this is at the very foundation of the Christian faith. She turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus. (John 20:14) Hope in the Time of Fear is a book that unlocks the meaning of Jesus's resurrection for readers. Easter is considered the most solemn and important holiday for Christians. It is a time of spiritual rebirth and a time of celebrating the physical rebirth of Jesus after three days in the tomb. For his devoted followers, nothing could prepare them for the moment they met the resurrected Jesus. Each failed to recognize him. All of them physically saw him and yet did not spiritually truly see him. It was only when Jesus reached out and invited them to see who he truly was that their eyes were open. Here the central message of the Christian faith is revealed in a way only Timothy Keller could do it--filled with unshakable belief, piercing insight, and a profound new way to look at a story you think you know. After reading this book, the true meaning of Easter will no longer be unseen.
