The Grace-filled Wilderness by Magdalen Smith Pdf

The Grace-filled Wilderness connects contemporary encounters of wilderness with the traditional themes of Lent and Jesus' journey to the cross. Magdalen Smith invites us to consider a series of subjects that are double - edged - they can bring us life or, if we handle them in the wrong way, drain life from us. Our appetites, our identity, our work, our sense of freedom and our struggles with anxiety and pain are explored in connection with what it means to be a follower of Jesus. Six full weeks of readings help us to move gradually from wilderness to grace, until, finally, we encounter the miracle, hope and joy of Easter. 'On every page of this Lent book, there's an invitation to journey which is as enticing as it is challenging. I found myself wanting to venture into the wilderness out of choice and not simply circumstance, and the adventure left me seeing, feeling and sharing in God's grace.' Jo Wells, Bishop of Dorking

When You Love a Prodigal by Judy Douglass Pdf

Loving a prodigal is a long and desperate journey, filled with fear, worry, anger, self- recrimination. You wait for the phone call--will it be from jail or the hospital? You plead with your loved one. You search for help. You feel the shame. You cry out to God, "How long, Lord?" Author Judy Douglass knows these lovers of prodigals well. She is one herself and has created a large and growing community with others. When You Love a Prodigal is a collection of 90 essays--90 days of perspective on what God offers to you as you love your prodigal. At the end of each brief essay, response questions will help you process how God intends to use the wilderness journey to mold your spiritual life. You can work through it day by day, or you can read it straight through. Judy has traveled this road with her own prodigal--reading, learning, praying, and seeking God. Over and over he continued to give her wisdom, he sustained her, he covered her with grace, and he filled her with hope. May you, too, be strengthened and filled with hope as together you discover how God will take you through your own valley.

Grace in the Wilderness by Francis Wagner Pdf

You are not alone. This is the promise of God’s Word. God is prepared to meet us in the midst of life’s struggles, journey with us, and lead us through the wilderness. This is grace in the wilderness, as the prophet Jeremiah wrote to give hope to the exiled Israelites. Written by Benedictine monk Br. Francis Wagner, the scriptural reflections presented in Grace in the Wilderness simply retell this story. The hope is that this book will help enhance readers’ own reflections on Scripture and its relation to their life, so that they may experience grace in the wilderness—the very presence of God.

The Grace Filled Life by Dr. Stephen R. Button Pdf

When Jesus said, "My grace is sufficient," Christians often forget that grace is the predominant characteristic of their Christian experience and therefore tend to overlook how grace permeates every aspect of their life. Were it not for grace, we would still be lost in our sin, unwilling to or incapable of enjoying the benefits of a relationship with Jesus. I chose the word panoply to describe God's grace because grace is so overwhelmingly abundant and impressively available to the believer. God's grace is more than sufficient. It is abundantly available to all that belong to Him. There is a reservoir of grace that will never empty. Christ was saying there is nothing else that will compare with it, nothing else that will replace it, and nothing else that will embody it. Grace is sufficient because there is nothing that can be added to it, supplement it, or enhance it. Well written, interesting and easy to read. It presents a practical understanding and comprehensive application of grace to Christian believers' daily lives, written, at times, out of the crucible of personal experience. It serves as a wonderful tribute to your Dad, Dr. Lloyd Button's life and ministry. It also represents an incredible amount of careful thought and work. I found it to be both clear and captivating!

Wilderness Skills for Women by Marian Jordan Pdf

From Moses to Jesus, so many heroes of the Bible had to endure some type of wilderness season in their life, a time of testing that was painful to endure but ultimately brought glory to God. In Wilderness Skills for Women, rising author/speaker Marian Jordan sees the same thing happening today as she and her friends still find themselves going through periods of isolation, temptation, sorrow, and waiting. Whether it’s relationship drama, the constant pull of our sinful nature, a health issue, or any variety of unmet dreams, Jordan turns readers to God’s Word as the ultimate wilderness survival guide. Conversational and self-deprecatingly confessional in her delivery, this young writer finds ways to have fun with delicate subject matters, using wilderness analogies to great effect in chapters titled "Drink Plenty of Water," "Seek Shelter," and "Don’t Eat the Red Berries."

Grace-Full Business Devotional by Evan K. Beecham Pdf

Identity theft is said to be the number one crime in the world, so we do everything we can to protect our identity from theft. To lose our identity to a thief is a devastating thought. The first act of identity theft occurred in the Garden of Eden. This incident affected every human ever born. Losing our identity, not knowing who we really are, is like spending our lives groping in the dark, searching for a light to help us discover ourselves. Everyone has been exposed to some set of rules to live by with the promise of self-discovery. People spend their entire lives in the endless pursuit of "who am I really?" "why am I here?" and "what is the purpose of life?" Then when we encounter a difficulty, we ask ourselves "was that God, the devil, or me?" Always trying to earn or qualify ourselves as good enough for God, we're never really sure if it worked, but we sure are working ourselves to death trying. There cannot be true peace or rest in living this way. Our identity crisis affects our passions, or what we do in our lives, our businesses, and our occupations. There is a discovery of the truth that will absolutely transform your life. It will open your eyes, inspire your God-given talent, and ignite your passion. When my eyes were opened to this truth in 2008, I experienced joy and genuine peace like I never really knew existed, except maybe in a dream. This truth so radically changed the way I thought, which only the unconditional love and great grace of God can do. This book is dedicated to those who have struggled with life because of identity theft. If we don't know who we really are, then we won't know just how priceless, accepted, and loved we really are. I have written this book with great excitement to share this life we all have been looking for and just how fulfilling our businesses and occupations can be, fulfill your passions-a gift from God, your redemption is complete in Christ Jesus. Let the journey to freedom begin today.

Grace Changes Everything by Kevin Derby Pdf

Grace changes everything, period! If this is true, then why do we see Christians struggling with things the Bible clearly states we are freed from? For many, the "abundant life" promised by Jesus seems to be just out of reach. If we believe that God can do all things, then shouldn't our lives reflect this belief? According to the Bible, we are saved by grace through faith, and the gift is from God. This Scripture is talked about in many Christian settings, but do we really understand the implications of this passage? In Grace Changes Everything, discover the simple yet profound truths contained in Scripture that can lead us to the abundant life of freedom promised by Jesus. This life doesn't require a person to be a super-Christian or ultra-spiritual. In fact, the answers provided by Scripture may surprise you in their simplicity.

Pilgrim's Wilderness by Tom Kizzia Pdf

Into the Wild meets Helter Skelter in this riveting true story of a modern-day homesteading family in the deepest reaches of the Alaskan wilderness—and of the chilling secrets of its maniacal, spellbinding patriarch. When Papa Pilgrim, his wife, and their fifteen children appeared in the Alaska frontier outpost of McCarthy, their new neighbors saw them as a shining example of the homespun Christian ideal. But behind the family's proud piety and beautiful old-timey music lay Pilgrim's dark past: his strange connection to the Kennedy assassination and a trail of chaos and anguish that followed him from Dallas and New Mexico. Pilgrim soon sparked a tense confrontation with the National Park Service fiercely dividing the community over where a citizen’s rights end and the government’s power begins. As the battle grew more intense, the turmoil in his brood made it increasingly difficult to tell whether his children were messianic followers or hostages in desperate need of rescue. In this powerful piece of Americana, written with uncommon grace and high drama, veteran Alaska journalist, Tom Kizzia uses his unparalleled access to capture an era-defining clash between environmentalists and pioneers ignited by a mesmerizing sociopath who held a town and a family captive.
